I own Nothing!
chapter 27
"Thank you. Come back and see us again," Fred smiled at the man, handing him his purchases.
"Will do," the man replied as a loud blast came from the back room.
"Nothing to worry about," Fred assured the man as he walked him to the door. "Just my brother making new products for you to buy. Have a good day, mate." He said as he locked the door and turned the open sign to close. It's a bloody good thing we close early on Sundays, Fred thought as he out the wards up in the main area if the shop.
"What happened this time?" he asked his twin as he made his way into the storage room where their brewing station was also sat up.
"I forgot and stirred it clockwise instead of in a figure eight," George answered from the table in the middle of the room, where he sat with his head down. "I don't know what is wrong with me today, Fred. I've felt off all day."
"As if something is going to happen," Fred finished. His twin looked up at him, receiving a sad smile as his twin took the seat across from him.
"You've felt it too?" George wondered relieved that he wasn't the only one that felt weird, but also a little worried.
"All day. Actually now that I think about it, I started feeling that way last night."
"After we left Hermione," George finished for his brother. They shared a look, before Fred quickly got his Granger 2000 out to write a note to Hermione.
'Love, are you okay?' He typed.
"Now we just needed to wait," he said, grabbing his wand as he started to clean up the mess that George had made.
"If she was hurt, Ginny, Ron, Harry or somebody would have let us know, wouldn't they?" George wondered, helping his brother with the mess.
"I'm sure they w..." Fred started but was quickly stopped when he felt an extreme need to get to Hermione quickly. The feeling was so extreme, it was almost painful.
"George,"
"I feel it, too," he cut his twin off, grabbing his wand before he apparated away, quickly followed by his brother.

"Lover, I understand that you're hungry, but one day the Plugufferies could decide to take away your appetite, leaving you skin and bones if you don't start taking your time," Luna informed her fiancée. Ron paled, slowing down his eating just a bit, not wanting to turn to skin and bones. He remembered what had happened when he had given his Luna chocolate and was very grateful for those creatures, grinning like a nutter at that memory. If I'm going to believe in one, I might as well believe in all, he thought, smiling fondly at the blonde sitting beside him.
"Good job, lover," she said, leaning over and planting a kiss on his cheek.
Ginny and Harry exchanged a look, trying not desperately not to laugh loudly.
The two couples were having dinner together at the Gryffindor table, enjoying each other's company. Ron and Luna were getting excited with every day that passed, ready to be with each other forever.
"Have you set a date?" Luna asked Ginny as the boys started talking about the upcoming Quidditch match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff.
"Not yet," Ginny replied, shrugging. "We still have time to decide. We really don't want to rush this, seeing that the Ministry made us rush into getting engaged."
Before Luna had the chance to reply, their attention was caught by running footsteps that lead straight toward their part of the table.
"Fred? George? What are you doing here?" Ron asked, confused to see his brothers.
"Hermione! Where's Hermione?" Fred demanded his eyes wild with worry.
"What's wrong? What do you mean where's Hermione?" the little brother wondered.
"Damn it, Ron! Stop being a bloody git and tell us where she is!" George practically roared.
Ginny stood, placing her hand on her older brother's arms, trying to calm them down. They were drawing quite a bit of attention from other tables around the Great Hall.
"Calm down," she said quietly, leading her brothers quickly out the crowded room, followed closely by Ron, Harry, and Luna. "What's this about? I'll tell you where she is, but first you needed to calm down and tell me what this is all about."
"We've both been having feelings all day, like something's going to happen," Fred replied quickly, running his hand through his hair.
"We actually started feeling strange last night when we left Hermione," George said, pacing back and forth.
"Then, a few minutes ago, an intense feeling hut us both," Fred explained.
"It felt like we needed to get to Hermione quickly," George added.
"Do you think she's in trouble?" Harry asked, his hand closing around his wand in his pocket.
"Who's in trouble?" a voice demanded from behind them. Draco heard the twins demanding to know where Hermione was when they burst into the Great Hall. If she was in trouble, he wanted to know.
"What's it to you, Malfoy?" Fred asked, glaring angrily at the blonde.
"Stop, Fred," Ginny said, turning to Draco, who had walked closer to the group. "My brother's had a feeling that something was going on with Hermione. But she's perfectly safe."
"How do you know? Malfoy, where the hell are you going?" George demanded.
"Draco, don't," Ginny started, but was cut off quickly.
"I didn't want her to go to meet him, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to think I was a jealous git," Draco responded, practically running through the castle, the twins, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Luna close on his tale. "But I've never liked Krum. Not ever."
"She's with Krum?" George asked, completely surprised. "When did that happen? She just got his petition!"
They stopped at the entrance to the Headmistress office.
"Does anyone know the bloody password?" Fred asked angrily.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley, I believe I do," a voice behind them announced, coming to the front of the group. Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow at her students, particularly the Weasley twins, who were not supposed to be there.
"Do you mind explaining what you are doing, running around the castle like a bunch of fairies in heat?" the headmistress asked, hands folded in front of her.
"Professor, please we need to check on Hermione. She might be in trouble," Harry responded, knowing that the professor would listen to him sooner then she would the others. There was only one of her students that she would listen to more quickly, and she was up in the office.
McGonagall's eyes widened, surprised at the look of concern on the faces of the men that stood in front of her. She looked Luna, who looked a little confused and over to Ginny, who just looked annoyed.
"Alright. I'll let you in, however if she's fine all of you," she said, pointing to the men, "are going to apologize to Hermione." They all nodded quickly, not at all opposed to doing so.
"AND Viktor," she added.
Harry and Rob nodded quickly, while it took the other three a moment to do so.
McGonagall whispered her password, watching as the door opened, revealing the staircase. They quickly ran up, stopping only because the Professor was in the way.
"You are not just going to burst into my office. We are going to knock, showing them the respect and privacy they deserve." She then knocked, waiting patiently for a reply. After a moment, she did it again, this time adding, "Ms. Granger? Mr. Krum? I'm coming in, I've forgotten something."
She opened the door, looking around the room quickly.
"Where is she?" George demanded, looking around.
"I thought you said she would be in here," Fred roared, glaring daggers at Draco.
"She was supposed to be! She told me that this was where she was meeting him," Draco insisted, looking at Ginny, hoping for answers.
"This where she was going! I have no clue where else she would be," Ginny replied, no longer looking annoyed with the situation. She was now extremely worried.
"Harry, go and send a patronus to the head Auror," McGonagall instructed, leaving no room for argument. Harry's face went white as sheet, but he nodded and ran from the room to do as instructed.
"Professor, what is it? Where's Hermione?" Ginny asked, her voice slightly shaky.
"Ms. Granger has been taken from the castle through the Floo. Mr. Krum has locked whatever fireplace that he has taken her, meaning that there is no way for anyone to follow them."
Don't kill me! LOL. I had a little more written, but I decided to stop it here, with the help of my WONDERFUL beta, Justbeingsirius. I thought it would flow better if I did so. I will TRY to update again in the next couple of days, but something wonderful happened...I FINALLY found a job. YEA! Anywho, what did you think? What do you think will happen? Review and let me know. Otherwise I don't know if you want me to continue. Thanks for all the reviews, by the way! I love them. Happy Reading.
