{Hermione's POV}
"'Mione, 'Mione, 'Mione!"
Ugh, Ginny is up at an ungodly hour…
"Sleeping… Summer… Go away!" I mumbled as my body began bouncing as Ginny bounded onto my be, narrowly avoiding my ankle
"You can't sleep anymore!" She yelled at the pillow I had pulled over my head
"Sirius says we have to clean!" she whined
I feigned to have fallen back to sleep, Ginny saw through my act
"'MIONE!" she screamed
"WHAT?!" I turned over so quickly that Ginny fell from the bed
"If we don't clean, Sirius will order Kreacher to do it!"
Damn her. Damn her and her knowledge of S.P.E.W.
"I'm awake." I conceited
"Now get dressed!" She called to me as she pranced out of the room
"Don't push it." I muttered mutinously under my breath
I slouched over to my trunk at the end of my bed, mentally noting that I could never make it as a princess of Jenovia. Grabbing the first clothes that touched my fingertips I picked up a towel and made my way to the bathroom, forgoing knocking, as I was sure everyone else had already gone down to help out. Twisting the knob I found myself in a steam filled bathroom – and not alone.
{Fred POV}
Mmmm, hot water, moldy tiles… hot water. Mum thinks we're gonna help with the Doxys… Dear, Sweet… Naïve mum.

Was that the door?
"Whoever's there, you should know this room is already occupied."
{Hermione POV}
"Whoever's there, you should know this room is already occupied."
I gasped
"Fred?" I asked meekly into the steam
"Shit, Hermione?" I saw Fred poke his head around the shower curtain
My face burned
"Hello…" I cast my eyes down
Fred, being Fred, tried to save the situation with a joke
"Come to join me then?" He said, the wicked playfulness gleaming in his eyes
"In your dreams, Freddie boy," I retorted, turning and strutting towards the door
I heard a faint
"If only you knew."
I smiled.
When I got out of the bathroom was when the panic hit me. I ran up stairs and slid down the door inside giggling, my face red. I had just been in the same room as an entirely nude Fred Weasley. My boyfriend. Merlin… I don't think that breakfast will be dull.
"Scourgify." I murmur waving my wand over me before heading down to breakfast.
{Fred POV}
'Mione was avoiding me. As simple as that, when I came down from the shower she only glanced up before her face glowed and her eyes were averted.
"Hello, everybody!" I grinned brightly
"Wonderful day isn't it?" I took my place beside George and started to spray the Doxys before pocketing them.
"Pst, Freddie" I heard George whisper
"Yes, Georgie?"
"'Mione looks flushed," He said
"What did you do?"
"Well," I began
"Let's just say my dear girlfriend found me in a…" I tried to think of the correct term
"Lack-of-clothes situation…" Perfect
"Let me tell you! It was a bit hot." I let my brother and his dirty mind toy with my words
"George I saw that!" I heard my mother's dulcet tone
"Put it into the bucket now."
George huffed and grudgingly dropped the swaying Doxy into the bucket where it lay still
Mum called for lunch and me all meandered into the dining room to find a feast had been laid out… yet again.
"I swear, mum" I said
"You are most definitely" George continued
"Making us fat" I added
"So"
"You"
"Can"
"Eat Us!" We finished together
I moved to the space beside 'Mione and grinned when I heard her breathe catch as I sat on the seat
"Fred." She nodded in my direction
"'Mione." I faked and hat tip and grinned at my glowing girlfriend
{Hermione's POV}
Fred began loading his plate with food. Weasley's never do seem to get enough. I served myself a small serving and began to eat. Everything was perfectly fine until Fred decided to put his hand on my leg.
{Fred POV}
I slide my hand off my thigh and on to 'Miones. I thought she had swallowed. I was proven wrong when she began to cough violently and her eyes began to water. I watched in horror as she began to clutch at her throat.
"'MIONE!" I shouted, along with Ronald while Harry stared at his girl best friend in horror
I leaped up and performed as perfect Heimlich maneuver, result in mashed potatoes all over the wall but also resulting in my girlfriend having a clear airway.
"Are you alright?" I asked sliding my arms around her waist and connecting my hands
"Not exactly, and no thanks to you." She whispered vehemently as she detached my hand from each other and broke from my grasp, before apologizing to the group and storming out of the room.
George had now recovered from his shock and was in silent fits of laughter as my eyes followed my girlfriend longingly out the door. As I sat back at the table, giving 'Mione time to cool down I noticed Harry's eyes were full of loss.
"You alright there, Harry?" I asked him across the table while his eyes were staring at the door that my girlfriend had just disappeared through
"Yeah, fine." He said, still staring at the door "I'm gonna go make sure Hermione is ok."
"You do that." I said, ignoring the twinge of jealously forming in my gut.
