Chapter 3-
Hermione reached the top of her stairs and turned to face Fred as he trailed behind her. He stopped next to her and placed their trunks on the floor of the landing. Fred looked up and observed the sight. The hall was long and wide with 2 white doors on each side. The walls were a pale green and the white woodwork went well with the colour. Hermione led him up the hall to the first room on the left.
"This is the office slash library; we use it for work and stuff. But I like to just relax in here." Hermione said as she opened the door.
The room was huge. There were several rows of large bookshelves that went from the ceiling to the floor. On the right hand side of the room was a desk that was facing a grand, old fashioned fireplace. Fred guessed that Hermione had used magic to extend the house and its rooms so she could have her own personal replica of Hogwarts library in it. He smiled at the thought of Hermione curled up on the soft chair that was tucked behind the desk. 'She really is sweet.'
"It's not much really but it's probably my favourite room in the whole house. Come on, now to the bathroom."
They walked out of the library and straight across the hall to the white door on the right. The bathroom was completely white and sparkling. It was clear that Hermione had inherited her tidiness and neatness from her parents. A large shower was in the corner and a corner bath was to the right of it. The sink was on the same side as the shower and opposite the toilet. The only colours in the room apart from the white were the multicoloured bottles that lined the windowsill. There must have been around 50 bottles in all colours form red to green to pink. They were all the same size and in 2 neat rows. The bathroom really was stunning.
"Okay, there's the bathroom. My mum and dad have an en-suite so I'm sorry that you are going to have to share my bathroom. I hope that's okay."
"Hermione, that's brilliant!...umm I mean, that's one of the nicest bathrooms I've ever been in so I don't think I will mind sharing."
Hermione laughed and Fred resisted the urge to slap himself on the forehead. 'Smooth Fred, real smooth. Just think about what you say before it comes screaming out of your big mouth.'
Fred cleared his throat embarrassedly and clapped his hands together.
"So what's next on the Grand Tour, eh Mione?"
"Oh well I guess it's your room. It's just down here."
They both walked down the hallway and Hermione opened the 2nd door on the left. The room wasn't as big as the library but a double bed was in the middle of the room and it was furnished with dark blue cushions and throws. A white chest of drawers and two bed side tables were also in the room. A small door was on the right hand side and Fred guessed it was the wardrobe. The room was very warm and homely; it was almost like the burrow just not as chaotic and loud. Fred smiled at the thought of the burrow but then frowned when he thought of George and how they wouldn't be together for a month. 'A month. 31 days without George, my twin. How will I survive with out him?'
Hermione noticed the frown on his face and soon started rambling about the room.
"If you don't like it, you can always change it or something. Mum and dad don't mind magic, I'm sure they won't mind if you want it to look more like home. I'm sorry it's not really you but if we just conjured up a few pieces of furniture or changed some colours or something…"
Hermione was interrupted by Fred's soft laughter as he put his hand on Hermione's shoulder to stop her worries.
"Hermione calm down. The rooms perfect. It doesn't need to be like home because it already fells like it. That's why I was frowning actually, I was just thinking about George. I haven't been away from him for more than a week before, it will be different, you know? Oh god Mione, I'm nearly 18 and I'm pinning after my brother! Please, please never let me do that again."
"Of course I won't, we wouldn't want you to act all girly now would we?" Hermione winked and walked across the hall from Fred. He laughed and followed her to the last door in the hall.
"Final stop on the upstairs tour. My bedroom."
She swung the door open wide and Fred smiled as they stepped inside. The walls were a soft beige colour and a double bed was in the centre. Her room had the same bed side table as Fred's but instead of a chest of drawers, she had a dressing table. On the left wall, she had lots of small photos pinned up. Some where muggle and of her family but most were moving and set in Hogwarts or the burrow. Fred looked through the photos until he came across a photo of just him and Hermione.
Fred remembered when that photo had been taken. It was in her fourth year and his sixth. He had his arm slung over her shoulders and every few seconds they would smile then burst into silent laughter. He smiled then turned to Hermione who was looking at him curiously.
"What? Why are you laughing?" she asked as she came to stand next to him.
"I just think its funny how Bookworm Granger has a picture of Prankster Weasley hanging on her bedroom wall." Fred replied smugly.
Hermione blushed a deep red when she realized what he was talking about. The truth was that that photo was one of her favourites. It was completely natural and it reminded her of how much laughter and joy the wizarding world had brought her. 'And Fred looks so gorgeous in that photo.' Hermione shook her head slightly and chuckled at Fred's smug face.
"I just really like that photo. It's so you, you know? Natural and funny."
"Well thankyou Miss Granger. Two compliments already and I have only been in your home for an hour! If it keeps going like this then you will have fallen in love with me by the end of the month." Fred laughed.
'Maybe that might just happen' Hermione thought as she headed back to the stairs.
'How many times do I have to say it Fred? Smooth, real smooth. Again. Why didn't you just say how absolutely amazing you are and make her think your even more big headed then she already thinks you are. You are a total git, if you keep this up then you will give Ron a run for his money.'
Fred followed Hermione back down the stairs and she continued her tour. She showed him the kitchen and her parent's room that was across from the living room they had been in earlier. Finally after the long tour they collapsed onto the sofa in the front room.
"So, seeing as my parents aren't going to be home until gone midnight how about we learn some muggle facts?"
Fred groaned and buried his head in the couch.
"Do we have to? It's my first day? We have a whole month to study before my test, how about some fun?" Fred pleaded as he removed his face from the couch to give Hermione the 'puppy eyes'.
'He looks so cute when he does the puppy eyes…actually his eyes are always cute and mischievous. Snap out of it Hermione! Answer his question for Merlin's sake!'
"Oh well I guess we could watch a movie or something? Does that sound okay? We could always go into town but I was going to do that later this week. So is a movie okay?"
"Yeah that sounds good. But…umm…Hermione? What on earth is a movie?"
They both burst into fits of laughter but one thought was running round Hermione's mind-
'This is going to be one hell of a long month.'
There is chapter 3! I hope you like it and I'm sorry that it's taking a while to get into the actual Fred/Hermione relationship thing but I promise its coming!
