"He's not to use this to fix the house, ok? In fact, he's only allowed it for desperate measures! Are you sure you'll be alright here Hermione, dear? I'm sure Bill and Fleur wouldn't mind if you came too," Molly Weasley queried of Hermione, whilst handing Fred's wand over to her.
"I'll be perfectly fine! And don't worry. I'll make sure he does what he's told!" Hermione replied with a reassuring smile.
"Well ok then…have a nice holiday and don't-"
"Molly, she's perfectly capable of keeping our Fred in line and if not, she knows where we're staying! Come on, sweetheart." Arthur interrupted his wife.
George chuckled.
"See you soon, Freddie, don't do anything I wouldn't do!" he winked before apparating with a pop.
"Well...goodbye then, dears!" Molly smiled and with that the rest of them apparated causing further loud pops. Hermione closed her fingers around the wand. And Fred sighed.
"Well then I suppose I'd better get started, where're you putting my wand anyway?"
"I'll be…hey hang on, I'm not going to tell you, start fixing! Go on!" Hermione raised her eyebrows to what she hoped was a superior stern look. It only resulted in Fred laughing at her as he turned and went back into the house.
Hermione sat on her bed, sorting through her books in Percy's old room. The walls were intact and sparsely decorated with photos of Percy Weasley wearing his head boy badge and newspaper clippings from the Daily Prophet.
Percy himself had decided to do some travelling so there weren't a lot of his things in the room, giving Hermione all the space she needed. She could already hear Fred's DIY efforts coming from downstairs; the sawing of wood and the occasional yelp as he nearly caught a finger.
Looking out of the window, Hermione watched the Sun, low in the sky, casting long evening shadows. She got up and made her way down the shaky stairs. Everything seemed on the verge of collapse thanks to the weakened walls and ceilings, but Molly and Arthur had placed many charms on the building to ensure it wouldn't fall in on the two occupants.
Hermione walked into the kitchen/living room area, which technically was now also part of the twin's room due to the large gaping hole above it. She had intended to inform her imprisoned charge that she was going to take a walk when she caught sight of him.
Fred had stripped to the waist and was bent over, sawing through a plank of wood. A slight sheen of sweat glistened on his torso and Hermione could see, quite clearly his strong, sinewy muscles tensing as they worked at the wood. He placed the saw down to wipe his forehead with the back of his hand when he spotted her, standing in the doorway, her mouth open slightly. Flexing he smirked at her.
"You like what you see?" he asked, in a teasing manner. Hermione noticed her gaping jaw and snapped it shut with an audible pop. She managed a glare in his direction before turning towards the back door.
"I'm going for a quick walk before I start on dinner." She said marching out.
"Wait! I'll come with you!" he called after her, grabbing his shirt.
"You can't! You have a house to fix!" she said turning around to halt him. He looked so stricken that she softened her stern features.
"Oh alright then! But it'll cost you!"
"Cost me what? A kiss?" He winked at her and watched as her jaw dropped for the second time, but he put his hands up defensively .
"Hey I was just kidding!"
He turned his head away, was he embarrassed? Hermione didn't know. But she did know that what she did next completely surprised them both. She reached out and pulled Fred round so that he was facing her and quickly, on tiptoes, stretched up and kissed him, on his lips. It was only a peck, less than a second. She pulled back and started walking away quickly.
"Consider it paid in full!" she called back. Fred stood stock still, staring in confusion and shock at the frizzy-headed girl walking away. She turned then and smiled self-consciously.
"Hurry up! Are you coming or do you want to continue working?"
His lips twitched into a grin and she continued walking again. Fred fist-pumped the air, collected himself and jogged after her.
Hehehe would that count as their first kiss? Idk, I think it was cute :') As ever keep an eye out for Chapter 5! :D love to you all ^.^ xxx
