Here is another chapter for you guys! I hope you like it and please review :)
Chapter 9-
The rest of that day rushed past in a blur for Hermione. Fred had kissed her. Fred Weasley had been her first kiss. Hermione Granger's first kiss was Fred Weasley, the Fred Weasley. 'What on earth had happened?'
Hermione was lying in bed staring at the ceiling. Yesterday had been so confusing. One minute Hermione and Fred had been talking and then the next Fred had kissed her. It wasn't so much the actual kiss that bothered Hermione, it was the fact Fred hadn't mentioned it and had carried on as usual. 'Does he do that sort of stuff all the time? He was the one saying people think he's a player and maybe that's why.'
She felt bad for thinking things like that about Fred but she couldn't help it. He had been so sweet yesterday and he hadn't made fun of her once. But why did she think he did to make fun of her later?
Hermione was snapped out of her thoughts by a soft knock on the door. Instinctively she looked to her clock; again she had woken up at 10 meaning the person at the door couldn't be her parents as they were working. That only left one other person.
"Fred, you can come in. You don't have to knock."
The door clicked open and a sheepish looking Fred stepped inside her room.
"Sorry, mum always shouted at us if we didn't knock before going in a room. Big house, no privacy and all that."
Hermione smiled and sat up in her bed. She suddenly realised that she was wearing a very low hanging night gown and she blushed when she noticed Fred's eyes wander a little lower than they should.
She coughed slightly and Fred snapped out of his gaze. His cheeks flushed a light pink and he smiled at Hermione.
"So…umm… what are you doing in here?"
Fred looked confused for a moment before it clicked. He sat on the each of her bed and she subconsciously moved a little closer to him.
"Well Miss Granger, I was hoping you could tutor me today."
That was certainly not what Hermione was expecting.
"Fred Weasley wants me to tutor him?"
"Yep, I figured that if I tell mum I studied for a bit she might not be as angry with me when I get back. And besides, I think dad's fascination with muggles has finally rubbed of on me. They look pretty interesting."
"I still can't believe you want to study. But hey, I'm not complaining. Just let me get dressed and I will meet you downstairs in 10."
Fred stood up, bowed and walked out the door.
"See you in ten, my lady."
Hermione reached into her cupboard and grabbed a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. She changed quickly and pulled her hair up into a loose ponytail. She applied a thin layer of mascara before heading to the kitchen.
Fred was already sat at the table, dressed in jeans and a blinding orange top that clashed quite badly with his hair. Hermione laughed as she saw his toothy grin and sat down opposite him.
"So what do you need to study? Any specific categories that are going to come up in your test?" she asked as Fred handed her a bagel.
"Well there are 3 main subjects this year. Muggle hobbies, food and sport. I think we should start with either hobbies or food because it's raining at the moment."
Hermione glanced towards the window to find it was indeed raining. She thought about the options for a moment and decided on teaching Fred about muggle hobbies because they were running low on food so they would need to go shopping before she gave him a cooking lesson.
"How about hobbies? I can teach you about cinemas, bowling, theatres, games and some stuff like that, does that sound good?"
Fred nodded enthusiastically and Hermione smiled brightly.
'God, all he has to do is nod and I smile like a kid on Christmas. What is wrong with me?'
After a quiet breakfast, the both went up into Hermione's room to start the studying. Hermione had decided to start with things like cinemas and bowling. 'At least that way Fred would know what to do when we go bowling in a few days.' She thought as she grabbed a photo album from the back of her cupboard.
"This…" she sat down on her bed opposite Fred and handed him the picture. "Is a picture of me and my friend Jamie outside of the local cinema."
Fred studied the picture of Hermione and a tall blond haired boy with bright green eyes who he assumed must be Jamie. He felt a sudden pang in his gut and he turned to Hermione before she could continue her speech.
"So, who is this Jamie? A boyfriend perhaps?" he hoped to god that he sounded jokey but inside he was praying it was a no. Fred wasn't quite sure why he wanted her to say no so much, he just did.
Hermione laughed and replied
"Oh no, he's going out with my other friend Teegan. Remember I told you about them yesterday. Anyway, cinemas are just giant screens that play movies like the one we watched on the first night. It's usually a place where friends hang out and stuff."
"That sounds cool; I will have to take George to one sometime. He would love that."
Hermione giggled at the thought of Fred and George shouting at the screen telling the people what to do instead of just watching like a normal person. She pushed the thought from her mind and suppressed another giggle as she picked up another photograph.
"This is another thing muggles do sometimes for fun. It's called bowling; I said that we might go in a few days with my friends. All you have to do is pick up a heavy ball and throw it down a lane and knock over as many pins as possible. It's simple really."
Fred nodded and pointed to the picture he was now holding.
"Who's that next to you?"
"That's Mel; she's the wild child I told you about. She can be a bit, out there sometimes."
The girl in the picture was tall and had long wavy blond hair. She was quite pretty but she looked a little too fake for Fred's liking.
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
Hermione stuttered when he asked her this. 'Why does he want to know if she's single or not? He's not going to ask her out is he?' She sighed before answering.
"No, Mel's single at the moment. But I'm sure she won't be for long…" Hermione mumbled the last bit under her breath and she hoped that Fred didn't quite catch it.
"Oh." Was all he said.
They had spent the last 2 hours talking about all things from cinema's to mobile phones and Fred was finally starting to lose attention. To be fair he had managed to listen and even take notes for the last 2 hours but when Hermione started talking about how computers use codes and formulas he started to lose interest.
His mind wandered away from computers and onto something he had been thinking about constantly since it had happened yesterday.
He had kissed Hermione. He had no idea why but he didn't care. It had been one of the shortest but one of the best kisses he had ever had. He knew it was cheesy but he felt fireworks when there lips touched.
'Stop thinking about it! It doesn't mean anything; you were just being nice and giving her her first kiss… I wonder if she thought it was any good though. Did she feel the fireworks like I did? Probably not…'
"Fred? Hellooo? Are you listening to me?..."
"Yeah, uh sorry Mione. I was just thinking about how fascinating computer formulas are…"
He gave her a smirk and she hit him on the arm before continuing her speech about electricity.
