It was once again Monday and of course Fred and Angelina's break up was the talk of the school. Typical Angelina had to have the school talking about her. Hermione rolled her eyes she saw Fred even with all the talk he was still laughing and smiling which made Hermione happy, he had George in a head lock. Hermione just smiled. He looked up and saw Hermione he just smiled and gave a small wave; she gladly returned it and headed to library she wanted to get some reading done she was always there an hour day. Lucky it was a modified day(they have the rest of the week off) which was good because Hermione, Ginny, and Luna were going to look for homecoming dresses it was on Saturday and the homecoming game was Friday. Ginny's dad was dropping them off and picking them up. Her dad was gone all week so her dad couldn't drive and Luna's dad didn't believe in cars.
"Hey Hermione!" Luna said.
"Hey Luna!"
"So here the news of Fred and Angelina it's like do people have nothing better to do then talk about other people's business"
"yeah and I did know I was there when it happened'
"When did you and Fred start hanging out?'
"We weren't we were getting supplies for the school community, you know were partnered to make banners and stuff"
"If you say so"
"Luna seriously I don't like Fred I barely know him,"
"You don't have to know someone well to like them though is said nothing about liking him just crushing" Hermione face turned red Luna word trapped her she was good at that.
"Anyways new subject you have to the ok for today?'
"Yep my dad's fine with it'
"Where's Ginny?'
"She's with harry at the group tree"
"You think he'll ask her to homecoming?"
"I think so I mean he better"
"Yeah they are perfect for each other"
"I'm dropping hints for Ron to ask me"
"You like Ron?"
"A little he's an amazing musician"
"What about you think Fred will? Or hope he will" Luna added
"No because I know he won't ask me not with all the girls who are waiting for him"
"Well those girls are a dime a dozen you're a diamond in the rough"
"Thanks I think" they both reached the tree and saw Ginny and harry sitting really close together.
"Hey you too, what's up?"
"Not much" Ginny said as her and harry broke apart.
"So Luna's all set for this afternoon'
"What's this afternoon?" harry asked
'Were shopping for homecoming dresses!" Ginny said over excited
"Homecoming dresses?" Ron said coming up behind them. He stood next to Luna who got red all the sudden.
"Yeah it's this Saturday"
"Oh yeah it is it" harry said.
The bell rang and Hermione was heading to her class when she heard her name all the sudden
"Hey Hermione" she turned around to see Fred coming towards her
"Hey Fred how are you? You ok? I mean all the talk going around"
"Oh that well people will talk what can you do?"
"Doesn't I bug you a little?'
"Yeah but I do not dwell on which I have no control"
"That's a good quote to live by"
"Yep so you busy today?'
"Yeah I'm going dress shopping with Ginny and Luna for homecoming'
"Oh yeah that's Saturday."
"Yeah why you ask?'
"Well I hoping to start working on the banners'
"Oh yeah I'm free tomorrow there's no school"
"I have football practice from 9-3"
"Well we can do it after you can come over to my house and we can work on ideas and stuff"
"Oh ok cool that works so I'll talk to you later?" Fred said sounding hopeful
"Yeah, bye Fred"
"Bye? Not later?" he said acting hurt
"My dad always says goodbyes are not forever, are not the end, it simply means I'll miss you until we meet again" Her face turned red when she realized what she just said
"Oh so you're going to miss me? Aww that's so sweet"
"Oh I didn't mean it like that'
"So you won't miss me that hurt Hermione"
'No I mean"
"Hey just giving you a hard time…bye Hermione" he said in her ear her face went really red. Her last few classes ended and she met up with Ginny and Luna and they headed to the mall. They reached the mall and they were probably in their for about 3 hrs. Looking at dresses they finally went to Macy's which a gold mind was. None of the girls could afford any new dresses so they went right to the clearance section. They were going through them when they heard a group of chatty girls. And Hermione heard Fred's name mentioned
'You are the queen Angelina; his face must have been priceless."
"It was, he's such a loser, I mean it's like he was obsessed with me, it's like seriously dude I'm way out of your league."
Ginny was getting madder by the minute Hermione put her hand on her shoulder to calm her down though Hermione wanted to slap Angelina. Even Luna was getting mad.
"Fred was hot though that's for sure"
"Yeah that's the only reason I started dated him his looks and that he was captain of the football team. But Marcus is way better in bed in my opinion, and kissing it like Fred kisses with love and passion I want rough and crazy he did on occasion but rarely he was so in love with me it was ridiculous" Hermione smirked she knew that was a lie Fred even said he wasn't in love with her. They kind of hid from the group and chatty cheerleaders. They didn't want to be seen one they didn't need to start anything two they wanted to hear what else they say.
"Well he's definitely going to miss you Angelina"
"Katie you been quiet today"
"Look I know you and Fred broke up and everything but I'm dating his brother and I don't really like when you're talking crap about my boyfriend's brother"
"What so you're on his side?" Angelina said with anger
'No it's just your putting me in an awkward position"
"Well then I guess we won't hang around you anymore come on girls" with that the girls walked away from Katie she looked shocked and hurt. They felt bad for her she left the store probably to go home.
'That bitch!" Ginny said
"I know how she can be like that" Luna said
"She is so going to get it on one of these days" Ginny said hands closed in a tight fist
"Look Gin fighting won't fix anything' Hermione said
"Mione! She's insulting my older brother"
"I know she's a bitch and Fred doesn't deserve that but fighting her will cause more problems"
They stood there for a minute when Luna said
"Alright enough of this lets shop. After an hour of trying on dresses they all found their dresses (you'll know what they look like day of dance)
Hermione finally got home her mom was in the kitchen making dinner.
"Hey sweetie how was dress shopping?"
"Great I'm really excited"
"That's great so who is taking you?"
"No one as of now"
"who do you want to take you?"
"I don't know"
"What about the boy from the mall? The one your dad met? You spent all day with him yesterday"
"One: we had to get supplies for school two:" She couldn't think of another she knew her mom knew the truth.
"Ok fine I like him I have a crush but his girlfriend just broke up with him yesterday and I don't know I don't think It's right to move onto someone else's ex even if they were a total bitch"
"Oh my what happened?" Hermione told he mom the whole story and what happened at the mall.
"Wow she is a bitch, how's he doing?'
"He's ok with it I mean it's not bugging him or at least he's not letting anyone see if it is or not"
"Oh well who knows fate works in mysterious ways"
"Yeah oh since were on the Fred subject, tomorrow can he come over and we can work on the banners a bit?"
"Sure but in the garage or living room no upstairs in your bedroom, I'll make some snacks and stuff."
"Great thanks I'm going to go put my dress away"
"Oh wait try it on I want to see it"
Hermione hurried upstairs and changed into her dress she came downstairs and her mom's mouth dropped "oh Hermione you look beautiful is so you"
"Thanks."
