Hermione knew her guilt was misplaced, but as what had happened finally dawned on George as well it broke her heart. She knew she and George were the ones committing adultery in this situation, but for some reason she felt guilty for being with Fred, it seemed that no matter what happened it would be lose-lose.
"So, you and he...?" George questioned vaguely avoiding eye contact.
"I'm sorry," Hermione said without thinking as her eyes began to dampen with unfallen tears.
"Don't apologise Hermione and don't get upset," George said trying to sound a lot more content then he was. "We knew he was going to come back, we just weren't expecting him so soon."
"I'm a horrible person," Hermione sobbed into George shoulder as he hugged her reassuringly. "I thought he was you."
George wasn't quite sure how to respond to the fact that she couldn't tell them apart, it had never happened in the past. "It's okay Hermione; I have been pretending to be him for longer than a week now."
He kissed her forehead before smiling at her now reddened face, "don't worry about me. I am just glad we had this time together." George lied, it was killing him inside knowing that he and Hermione wouldn't probably never be properly together again. Perhaps Fred would go away again, but he didn't want to make Hermione feel like a whore, she deserved better than that.
"He will probably be back soon," Hermione whispered as she finally stopped sobbing.
"Nah, he went to visit mum, he said he will be at least half an hour," George explained in a non suggestive manner. Making eye contact with Hermione he knew instantly what she was thinking.
"I don't think we should," George said maturely, "this can only work if we go cold turkey."
"Please," Hermione pleaded with her eyes swelling with tears again, "just one last time."
"I can't," George said as his eyes to became a little wetter than normal. George backed away from Hermione slowly, "we can't. Not anymore."
Hermione slid her robe off, "please." She repeated again.
George couldn't believe how amazing his will power had been up until this point. Knowing he was going to cave he apologised before quickly exiting the room. Leaving Hermione alone standing in her underwear for the second time this afternoon. Hermione quickly put her robe on and chased after him, but quickly came to a halt as she saw him flirting with Verity. She saw George lean over the counter and whisper something in her ear, Verity touched his face as he did so. She laughed and whispered something back making George smile. George whispered something else into her ear, Hermione realised by the smile on Verity's face that something was going on, she nodded and Hermione heard her say "okay".
"Oh Hermione, there you are, can you watch the shop till we get back please. We have some business to attend to." George instructed, as Verity now stood at his side.
He knew he was stooping to a new low, but he had to push her away he had to hurt her. It was the only way she would stop pursuing him.
Hermione barely managed a nod as she stood completely heartbroken watching the pair bounce out of the shop and head towards the apartment upstairs. Barely able to walk Hermione stumbled over to the door, she locked it and displayed the closed sign. Before collapsing to the ground, she glanced in the direction where George and Verity had just left and she couldn't help but think they were probably already naked.
Hermione crawled behind the counter, as she didn't want anyone seeing her in the window in a state like this. Behind the register she huddled up in the corner in the foetal position, she tried rolling her eyes back in an attempt to stop the tears falling. She fanned her face trying to stop what she knew was coming. Her face was really warm, her waving hands could feel the heat radiate off her skin. She knew it was no use trying to stop it now, with that she buried her face in her hands and let it all out. She knew she must have looked hideous and she was at risk of George and Verity returning but she was so upset she didn't even care. She was so angry with George for intentionally hurting her this way, she was upset at herself for being so needy and falling for George and she was even upset with Fred for leaving in the first place.
After ten minutes she was less hysterical, mostly because she had run out of tears to cry. Her salty tears had now cried on her cheeks and felt like plaster as she wiped her eyes. She sat there in silence, listening to potential customers talk outside the shop. It was then she heard the shop door open, "we're closed." Hermione said without standing up.
Fred then popped his head of the counter to see his beautiful girlfriend all puffy and red-faced. "Hermione," he sighed, "what is wrong?"
He then quickly made his way around the counter and offered her his hands; she accepted them and let him help her up.
"What's going on?" Fred asked as he hugged his girlfriend, it was curious finding her alone in the locked shop.
"I'm really sorry Fred," Hermione said very quietly.
"Is this about what happened in the storeroom before?" Fred asked clearly confused, he had thought she was into it.
"No," Hermione smiled weakly, "it definitely wasn't that."
"Then what?" Fred asked, still smiling trying to cheer his girlfriend up.
"I think we should just break up," Hermione announced hesitantly. Trying to sound more reassured she continued, "I don't think I should work here anymore either."
With that Hermione's red face got if possible even puffier as she was clearly trying to hold back her emotions.
"Hermione wait," Fred said as he grabbed her arm, "what is this about? I can fix it."
Hermione attempted to laugh coldly, "Some things aren't meant to be fixed."
Fred still holding onto her arm pulled her close, "you are wrong."
With that he forcefully kissed her and didn't stop when she tried to pull away. Hermione tried to punch him but Fred had a hold of her right arm and her left arm was not cut out for hitting she learned. Struggling for a few more moments Hermione was fighting off both Fred and her own urges. However in this battle her will power lost. Before she knew what was happening she was lying behind the counter with her robes undone and underwear removed and Fred was sliding inside of her.
Fred's body was directly on top of hers, he had never remained so close to her in the past. With his hands against the ground on either side of her head it was as if he was creating a cage. Hermione who was normally quite vocal remained silent, everything now seemed to be going in slow motion. Hermione arched her back slightly filling the gap that was between them, moaning slightly as he nipples brushed against Fred's chest. Fred slithered his right hand under Hermione's shoulder blades holding her in this position and supporting his own weight at the same time. He then used his left hand to further satisfy her left nipple, rubbing it playfully between his thumb and index finger. Hermione's read rolled back so far it was actually touching the ground. After a few moments Fred slid his left hand under Hermione's neck to lift her head closer to his, he then moved his right hand to her right breast. With her face closer to his now kiss he kissed her forcefully and without disrupting the rhythm of his hips as the ground against hers. His right hand which had had been massaging her breast was now focused purely on the erect nipple which had been teasing the palm of his hand for a few minutes now.
Fred stopped kissing her and tucked his head into her shoulder clearly trying to concentrate as he increased the intensity of his thrusts. Hermione thought she had imagined it at first, she saw George standing a metre or so behind Fred. Hermione blinked and was surprised to find George standing there; she had not been imagining it. He looked upset and Hermione again felt guilty, this guilt only intensified as Fred's hand snaked down past her naval to that special place between her legs and her pleasure became too much. Forgetting about the audience of one Hermione came just as Fred had planned, unable to postpone his orgasm any longer. When Hermione's eyes were able to focus again George was gone.
"I love you so much," Fred said as he rolled of his girlfriend no longer able to support his own weight he didn't want to suffocate her.
Hermione said nothing for over a minute, she wanted to be confident that her legs would work properly before she spoke.
"I meant what I said before, we should break up." Hermione said as she avoiding looking at Fred.
Before Fred had a chance to stop her she had put her robe back on and left the store, leaving Fred on the floor behind the counter with only Hermione's underwear and a sweaty outline of where her body had just been.
