I don't own any of the characters mention, I only enjoy playing with them, I had to cut this chapter in to two. I hope to post the second part yet this weekend. I was starting to get too long and I still had aways to go with it. I hope you enjoy this.

Hermione awoke early on Saturday; she has always been an early riser. Walking out in to her living room, she half expected to see George laying on the couch and was a little disappointed when he was not there. There is a surprise for her on her table, a note from George.

H-

I had a really great time with you tonight. It was very hard for me to leave, I wanted stay here with you all night, I can't imagine not being with you every day. I hope you understand this, I am very fortunate to have you in my life. I hope you slept well and I can't wait to see you.

George (he even signed it with a little heart as the O in his name.)

Smiling as the warm feeling washes over her. He is so sweet but she has things to take care of before her night out with Ginny and her friends. She decides to send out her owl with a note to Seamus and Neville. Her owl, Brownie, will take it to Seamus and then in her note, she will tell Seamus to send it onto Neville and then to whomever they want to. She told Lee yesterday and he has always been fun and has also always accepted her.

Flashback to Hogwarts

"Oh man, why can't you warn me if she is going to be in here?" Lee hollers as he tries to hide behind the curtains on his bed he had just come back from the shower. "I mean I could decide to start walking around starkers."

Hermione and George groan as they are woken up by Lee's yelling. She hadn't meant to sleep there all night; normally she at least wakes up before Fred and Lee do. They know nothing is going on but they still like to give them a hard time about her sleeping there. When she was with them, she felt more comfortable, brazen even, "Lee, you start walking around stark naked and I will join you." Now that got everyone's attention, George looks down at her out of one eye with a smirk on his face, shaking his head. Knowing well enough that she was joking but that she even said it.

"You know I do appreciate the female form, but Granger you do that and we may have issues. You are like my sister, ugh, the thought of you or Ginny doing that is almost …." Fred pretending to be sick over the side of his bed.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence Fred. At least I know you would have the decency to turn your head if you ever see me naked." She shot back at him.

"Well you know Hermione that might have just given me the push I needed, here goes nothing!" As she and George are hit with a wet towel and Lee's clothes that he had in his hands. "Man, this is liberating…"

"Oi, put some shorts on." They hear Fred yell at him, sending a pillow flying at the young man.

George and Hermione have buried their heads under the blanket. "Oh don't you dare, you said you would join me, Hermione, come on get out here and start stripping!" Lee is grabbing the blanket and trying to pull it off the both of them, they are hanging on to it for dear life. "Come out, come out where ever you are!" They are arguing with him as George has no desire to see one of his friends in that form of undress. Soon enough, the blanket is pulled off the bed and with it Hermione is sent to the floor, and now Lee is tickling her trying to get her to open her eyes. "Gotcha, nowhere to run now," she is laughing so hard she is crying and pleading with him to stop. Then all of a sudden he does, leans really close to her and says quietly "Gotcha. You can open your eyes, I got clothes on."

Opening her eyes, she sees he has shorts on but no shirt. "You arse, I thought you had lost your mind and were truly naked." Smacking him hard on the arm, "Got me good."

He flops down and lays his head on her shoulder "You know, you are pretty ok, you know that." Poking her in the side "For a girl, I mean."

End of flashback

Thinking of the times that she did get to spend with the boys, when no one knew but them, they always had a good time. She wants to have a great night out, sitting down with some breakfast, she thinks about last night. She kissed George, she isn't sure what came over her but she is glad she did it. Smiling as the warm feeling washes over her again, her smile is growing bigger and bigger by the minute. Settling in to working on a few things around her flat, she doing her dishes, cleaning the bathroom and changing her sheets. Every weekend it is the same for her, she cooking, cleaning and reading. That is except when she has plans with Ginny, it is mid-day and she expects the bundle of energy to show up at any minute. They aren't going out till dinner time but that normally doesn't stop Ginny from coming over around lunch. She isn't complaining, she loves her best friend dearly but it can be tiresome to be around her for long periods of time. Hearing a pop in her living room, she walks around the corner and there she is "Oh Hermione, we haven't talked in so long. I want to hear everything that has been happening with my brother. Well maybe not everything, I don't need to hear about you two shagging but everything else." Pulling her into the living room and sitting down on the couch.

"Ginny, we are not shagging, no matter what you think," Hermione's face flushing "I don't want to rush into anything. We just started, well, I am not sure what you would call it. Not dating but not just friends anymore."

Well no, you are going to have to marry him and shag him at some point in time. So you aren't just friends anymore. Plus what is this that I hear from mum, you were sneaking into the boy's dorm since your first year to sleep with him? How did you not get caught and why were you?" Ginny starts laughing and shaking her head. "I just can't get the idea of you sneaking around in your rubber ducky pajamas out of my head. Those are adorable pj's but not what you would call sexy."

"Hey, I love those pajamas and I don't care if they are not sexy. That was not what my intentions were, you should know that." Eyeing the young woman, trying to judge how she will take this, "I just really enjoyed your brothers company, he let me be me. Even Fred and Lee were great to be around. George never tried anything, I don't think he ever fancies me or at least not in school or until recently, I hope. Otherwise that would make me feel weird about the last few times I slept in his room with him at the Burrow." Instantly regretting that statement.

"You snuck in his room at the Burrow too! Mum would have killed him if she found out!" she screams in shock. "And how did I not hear you leave?"

"You sleep through anything, that's why you didn't hear me. She found out, last weekend, George told her. When we were outside, I guess he knew all along about my parents, he figured it out because I talk in my sleep or so he says." Blushing again "I thought your mum's eyes were going to bug out of her head when she found out that we had been sleeping together….. That just doesn't sound right. She was especially shocked when she found out Fred and the other boys in the dorm knew."

"Why didn't you say anything to me, I mean about any of it, him or your parents?" Ginny asks quietly trying to hide some of the hurt in her voice. "I mean, I am your best friend, we talk about everything."

"Sorry, G, I didn't mean to keep it from you, I just didn't want anyone to think less of me. He and I just liked having something that was all us, you know, without all of the Hogwarts drama. He made me feel safe and I helped him with school work and some of the potions for the joke shop." Sighing deeply, know she needs to address the other topic as well. "The only person I told about my parents was Professor Flitwick, for now that is all I am going to say about that. It is still really hard to talk about." Pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on her knees.

"I get it, I do, honey, I just want you to know, I am here for you if you ever need me." Sliding down the couch and wrapping her arms around Hermione. "Now you are going to be my sister as well as my best friend, so you are stuck with me." Kissing her friend on the top of the head, "Let's have some lunch. I am starving." Getting up and pulling Hermione to her feet. "I don't care what we have."

"All of you Weasley's are a like in that respect, George basically said the same thing last night, when we had dinner." Opening up a cabinet in her kitchen looking for something to make.

"You guys had dinner last night? How did that go? Is he treating you well, if not I will hex him for you." Launching into another round of questions. "Where did he take you? Are you happy?"

As she pulls down pasta and sauce, "Whoa slow down, no need to hex him, remember I can handle myself. Yes, we had dinner, and I went to the shop and surprised him and asked him to come out to dinner with me. We went down the street to the pizza place I like. I think it went well and I think I am happy." Thinking about how she felt after the kiss last night, the red creeps up her face "I kissed him last night. It was good, really good." Getting out a pot to make lunch in, she flicks her want, not in the mood to cook like a Muggle today.

"You haven't kissed him before? What the…. I mean, if you guys were spending all that time together, you never even tried kissing him before?"

"Like I said I never really thought about him, he and Harry were in the same category, just friends. But now since this marriage law thing, I have been trying to, I don't know, what I am doing." Shaking her head, dishing up the food and handing a plate to Ginny, "I was so sleepy, on the way home I guess I kept bumping into him, you know how I get when I am tired. So he picked me up and carried me the rest of the way, I must have dozed off just a little because before I knew it we were at my door and he was trying to wake me so we could get in my flat. Once in, he told me he would see me tonight and that I needed to go to bed. I took a couple of steps down the hall and decided I was going to kiss him. I turned around, walked up to him, took a hold of his shirt and pulled him close to me and kissed him. I felt, like I was flying, my stomach twisted and turned and my face felt hot. I can't describe it very well, I was just…"

"Ok, ok I get the point, like I said, it is my brother we are talking about so I am not sure how much more I want to hear." Laughing and digging into the lunch in front of her. "You are in love with him. That's my bet, you are just in denial, I think. Don't worry, you will get a chance to snog him soon enough."

"Ginevra, stop saying things like that. I am having issues thinking of him like that!" covering her face with her hands and leaning over to put her head on the table.

"First, don't call me that, you know that, second tonight you will have a good time and… I can't believe I am saying this…. Flirt with him….. try to…. Get him….okay, I guess it is hard to think or say things about George like that. But I have the right outfit in mind for you. He won't be able to take his eyes off of you."

"Don't get carried away with all of this. I just want to go out and have fun."

"We always do." Flicking her wand and cleaning up the dishes from lunch, "Go take a shower and relax, I will set out clothes and when you are done we will do your makeup and hair." Pushing her down the hall towards the bathroom.

"I think I will take a bath, I won't be long. You know your way around here, do what you want."

A short time later…..

"Ginny, what do you have for me to wear?" Hermione asks drying her thick, curly hair with a towel, "I saw clothes laid out but you have to be joking, that is one of your shirts, it is never going to fit me. You are too small."

"Trust me Hermione, you are closer my size than you think. It will look great on you, you have a great body and need to show it off once in a while." Grabbing her hand. "Come on, I will come with you." Pulling her friend down the hall. "Let's do this, I can't wait for you to see this. Just put it on, don't look in the mirror until I get your hair and makeup done. Then if you don't like it, we can change it. But you are going to love it."

Begrudgingly Hermione, pulls the top on over her head, "Ginny what am I supposed to wear under it, I can't wear this, it shows too much skin."

"Stop worrying, you look great. We will use a little magic to keep it in place and now turn away from the mirror let me finish." She pulls and pushes Hermione this way and that, fixing her hair and doing her makeup. They chat all the while the young woman is twisting and pull about this and that. Finally Ginny is done and says "Ok now look, I love it, you look amazing."

Looking in the mirror, Hermione sees a gorgeous woman looking back at her. She is wearing a pair of snug fit jeans, shimmering flats and one of Ginny's favorite tops, it is a shimmery maroon tank top that dips really low in the front, almost indecently low but with the spell she knows it is not going anywhere. Running her finger along her collarbone and down her chest, the opening comes to just above her belly button, "Are you sure this isn't too much, I mean it isn't too much?" Looking at her makeup, thankfully Ginny left it simple and light but looking at her hair, it looks like it was curled and then braided and falls down over one shoulder. "I never wore anything like this."

"It is about time you do, let all of the guys see what they missed out on now that you are taken." Smiling and coming up behind her and wrapping her arms around her best friend, releasing her "You deserve tonight" walking towards the mirror to finish her own make up "If it makes you feel better, I asked Harry what he thought between a couple of shirts, and he thought that would be a good shirt for you."

"Really, you ask Harry? Why did you ask him?" Now more embarrassed than ever, why did she have to bring Harry into it too.

"Because he knows you, I figured if anyone would know what I could get you to do, besides me it would be him, we know you the best out of anyone." Laughing at the shocked look on Hermione's face. "We want you and George to have a good time and I want you to have a good time, we will dance and you will feel just like yourself. Harry is going to get the boys around 730 and bring them to the club."

At the twin's flat:

"Hey guys, ready to go out with the two crazies?" Harry asks as he enters the twin's flat.

"That's not a very nice thing to say about Ginny." Fred asks.

"Have you ever been out with your sister? She can be a handful." He laughs "Then you add Hermione and it is going to be a crazy night. I have gone out a few times with them and they will go all night long, dancing and having a good time." Smirking at George "You may see a completely different side of Hermione tonight, let me say this, she can dance, that's for sure. You would never think, considering she trips over cracks in the road." Harrys eye glaze over, like his is remembering something good, slowly one side of his mouth creeps up, laughing slightly.

Knocking on the door before opening it and walking into the flat, Lee asks, "Am I too early? I figured, what the hell, if Hermione could convince this one" nodding his head at George "To go out to the club, why not." Harry and Lee laugh, both knowing that while the twins are very confident, they are not as confident when going out in Muggle London.

"Well if you all are ready to go, let's get a move on it, I don't want to get there too late." Harry says, walking towards the door. "We can appariate to the Leaky Cauldron and then walk from there." Appariating to just outside the pub and walking through the pub to get to Muggle London before leaving Harry says "Hey boys, let's have a Firewhisky before we go, it will get you a little loosened up." Shouting at the bartender "Oi, can I get 4 Firewhiskies?" Harry pays the bartender and says "Here's to fun and love." All four take the shot and put the glasses on the bar.

"Why do I drink that crap," Lee groans, shaking his head "It's not that good." The others all laugh at him as they walk through the London streets to the club.

"Last chance to turn around and go home boys." Harry says as they approach the door. They can feel the beat of the dance music in their chests before they even open the door.
