What the hell had she done? Bend me over the stairs and fuck me senseless! Where had that come from? She teased Fred all the time but nothing like that. What the hell had come over her? Ginny had been giving her an odd look all morning but she couldn't bring herself to tell her she had verbally molested her brother, no matter how jokingly it was. She could still feel the blush on her cheeks. There was one thing that couldn't escape her mind however. She had seen no hint of disgust after she had said those things. Fred did have a good poker face though, she reminded herself.
She glanced up and noticed Ginny looking at her strangely again. Hermione was confused for a second before she realized she had been standing in front of the same quill for many minutes now just staring at it. " Nice quill don't you think?" Hermione asked trying to convince Ginny she was interested in the quill.
" Uh huh. Nice. Can we go now? Harry and Ron are waiting for us at the Three Broomsticks." Ginny replied, skeptical of Hermione's fascination with the quill.
" Sure let's go." She shook her head as she followed Ginny out of the store into the busy street. They both laughed when they saw a prank toy blow up in Seamus's face as they walked past Zonkos. That boy rarely went a day without something blowing up on him.
" What the hell?" Ginny suddenly said startled looking back at Zonkos. Hermione turned around to see Fred, George, and Katie standing just outside the door to the store. George looked tense as Katie had thrown her arms around Fred and was backing him into the window. They watched as Fred attempted to gently peel her off of him to no avail. George attempted to pull Freds arm to say they were leaving but Katie just ignored him and kept trying to get Freds attention. Hermione would have laughed at the uncomfortable look on his face had it not been such a serious situation. Everyone in the vicinity could tell Fred wanted her off except of course for Katie.
" How many times does Fred have to reject that girl. What has gotten into her? One dance at the Yule ball and she loses her mind" Ginny huffed and proceed back toward Zonkos to rescue her brother. Hermione fell into step beside her and fingered her wand in her pocket ready to use it if Katie caused trouble.
" Katie, Cedric is looking for you over near Madam Puddifoot's. Something about needing help with an outfit for his cousin's wedding or something. He wants to look extra special for Cho, who's he taking as his date." Ginny sweetly told Katie. Katie jumped enthusiastically and kissed Fred on the cheek before walking off in the direction of the tea shop.
" THANK YOU!" Fred hugged his little sister.
" Why is she still after you? I thought you told her no." Ginny asked him when he let her go.
George blushed. " That's kinda my fault. I was joking with Angelina about Fred being in love with Katie, and apparently Alicia overheard and thought i was serious. She told Katie and every since then she won't leave him alone. Hell she even slapped my ass when she mistook me for Freddie last week." George shuddered at the memory. " Can't blame her though, i do have a great ass." He remarked with a grin.
Ginny rolled her eyes and looked back at Fred. " You need to sit her down and talk to her Fred. Her obsession with you is getting creepy." Fred nodded at his sister's remark.
" I agree. I overheard her speaking to Alicia the other day about how many children she planned on having when she got married. She was even looking at baby clothes during winter break apparently." Hermione told Fred. She couldn't help the blush that spread across her cheeks when his eyes met hers. His slight grin told her he was thinking about her words earlier that morning and the blush spread further.
" Anyways, we were on our way to meet Harry and Ron at the Broomsticks so i guess we shall see you boys later." Hermione said before he could respond and touched Ginny's arm to let her know she was leaving. Ginny shouted bye over her shoulder as they made their way down the street. Ginny now knew why Hermione was acting so out of sorts today. It had something to do with her older brother. She hoped for Rons sake it wasn't a crush, but she couldn't deny she liked the idea of Hermione and Fred over Hermione and Ron.
George watched his brothers face contort on the walk back to Hogwarts. It was almost comical. He would go from disgusted to confused to happy to confused to happy back to disgusted before starting the process over and over again. He knew it was about Katie and Hermione but couldn't decide if he should bring it up or just let his twin figure things out for himself. Fred was always more internal when it came to feelings than he was. However, being who he was he couldn't let his brother off that easily.
" So you going to name one of you and Katies kids after Hermione or the other way around?" George smirked at his brother before ducking Freds swing.
" Shut it. Not having no fucking kids with Katie. She can go hump a moose for all i care." Fred grumbled.
" Not an image i needed. So no kids with Katie got it. So i guess Hermione will bear the fruit of your loins then." George replied.
" What. No. Hermione? She's younger than me. Besides Ron likes her remember?" Fred responded. A little to rushed in Georges opinion.
" Only by a year bro. Not like she's an infant. Ron is too much of a sissy to make a move on her anyways. Besides Hermione needs a real man to handle that sweet sassy little mouth of hers. And i don't recall her ever telling Ronniekinns to bend over the stairs and fuck her senseless." George laughed as a faint blush fell over Freds face.
" She was joking George. Just playing around." Fred snapped at George.
" Easy buddy. Just saying. If you want her i stand behind you on this. Ron can go hump a moose as you apparently like to say." George realized it was time to wind this conversation down before Fred got really agitated. He started talking about the upcoming prank before his brother could reply.
" Bout time you two showed up." Ron said, taking a break between bites of his sandwich to acknowledge them. Hermione and Ginny looked at him in disgust as trimmings from his sandwich fell from his lips onto the table. Harry nudged him in the side and gave him a pointed look. Ron set his sandwich down and wiped his mouth off.
" So where have you two been anyway?" Harry asked.
" We got caught up rescuing Fred from Katie again." Ginny replied grabbing the other seat beside Harry. Hermione sat down between Ginny and Ron. She felt Ron not so subtly scoot closer to her. She ignored it and listened to Ginny tell Harry about the previous events.
" Weird one that one. She used to be so normal." Harry remarked when Ginny finished. " We missed you at breakfast this morning Hermione, you go to the library again?" Harry asked turning to look at her.
" Oh no. Sorry i woke up late i'm afraid. Must have been more tired than i realized." She shrugged.
Harry nodded and went back to his soup.
" Which reminds me, i should go back up to the library and study." Hermione stated getting up from her seat.
" But you just got here!" Ron said looking at her like she had three heads.
" Yeah Hermione, relax a bit." Ginny said to which Harry nodded.
" I did by coming here and walking around. But i really should get back to the books." Hermione hugged Ginny and waved to the boys before making her way back to the castle.
