Hermione needed a few hair products from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes so she decided to pop in on them after work. When she stepped into the store, it took a moment for her to equalize, the noise was so overwhelming. After getting the items she needed and perusing what was new, Hermione made her way down to the register.
"Hey 'Mione!" George greeted her.
"Hey George! Busy night." She cheerfully said.
"Yeah, just a week before Hogwarts starts so everyone is trying to buy us out." The jovial redhead shared.
"I bet! I can't say how glad I am to not have to deal with any of it!" Hermione laughed.
"Aww, you wound us, 'Mione." Fred piped in as he rounded the counter.
"Hah! That's a load of bull!" Hermione chuckled.
"You love us!" Fred winked at the petite witch.
Hermione gave a loud sigh, "I suppose." She said before she couldn't hold off a large smile.
"Hey, 'Mione, would do us a favor?" Fred asked a bit too cheerily.
"Hmm, depends on the favor." She answered with a raised brow.
"It's harmless!" George defended.
"Uh-huh, why am I not believing that." Hermione retorted.
"My heart!" Fred exclaimed as he placed a hand over his heart and "staggered".
"Yeah, you're so funny." Hermione chuckled at his antics.
"But seriously, we would like you to test a new drink we've been working on and tell us what you think, feel, you know, unbiased answers." Fred told her.
Eyeing the twins skeptically, Hermione caved when they gave her "puppy dog eyes". "Fine, when are you wanting to do this?"
"Excellent!" George said as Fred asked, "Sunday before brunch?"
"Sure, but I'm warning you, no funny stuff!" Hermione warned them.
"Cross our hearts!" the twins replied as they laid a hand on their hearts.

Sunday morning found Hermione flooing to Twins' apartment, wondering if she was going to regret agreeing to be their guinea pig. When she arrived, she noted the quiet and wondered if the wizards were sleeping in. Deciding to buy her some time Hermione put the kettle on and prepared three cups for tea. Once the kettle was ready, she poured the tea and waited. A few minutes later a patronus arrived.
"Hey 'Mione, why don't you bring the tea you just made down to the shop? We'll start the testing after a proper cup."
Hermione smiled and placed the cups on a tray and levitated the tray down the stairs and into the back of the store where all the creativity occurred.
"Morning 'Mione!"
"Morning gentlemen."
The three enjoyed their cups of tea while idly chatting. Once the tea was done, Hermione was handed a vial of a peach color liquid.
"Don't worry; it's not going to harm you." George chuckled.
"That I have no doubt, my concern is what it will make me do or turn me into." Hermione shared just before downing the entire thing.
"It tastes like peaches with a bit of caramel aftertaste." She told them and watched as Fred jotted down her observation.
"Anything else?" George inquired.
"Not sure, is there supposed to something else?" Hermione asked, her curiosity coming through her voice.
"We don't know." Was their answer.
"Well, what all did you put into this?" Hermione wondered.
Fred and George spent the next few minutes listing off what they had put in the potion and the technique used. After a moment, Hermione's eyes went wide as she realized what they had, basically, described.
"You made a truth potion?!" she asked with amazement.
"Is that what it is?" Fred wanted to know.
"I believe so. Ask me something you know the answer to but make it incorrect." Hermione told them.
"Okay, you work at the Ministry in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." George commented.
"I work in the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures." Hermione blurted. "Wow! You made a truth serum of sorts!"
They spent the next hour going over how much truth would be told and whether or not she could fight the effects. It turned out that she could fight the effects but only those that were job related or asking something inappropriate about someone else. However, when it came to her own life and feelings, she was powerless to lie.
"How long will this last?" Hermione wanted to know. She really didn't want to go to work under the influence of a potion.
"We don't know." Fred told her honestly.
"What! Why not?!" Hermione asked.
"We didn't know to try to lie after we took it." George informed her.
"I see." Was her reply.
"Are you mad at us?" Fred wondered.
"No, just frustrated and a bit worried." Hermione answered without thinking and then slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Why would you be worried?"
"It's not like you're a lawyer or anything."
"Because there are several colleagues I don't really like but have to be nice to." Hermione blurted after trying to fight answering.
The twins exchanged looks that Hermione couldn't decipher before George spoke, "So, Hermione, what do you really think of Fred and I?"
Try as she might, Hermione couldn't not answer the question. She had hoped she would be able to due to feeling the magic lessen a bit but then, apparently, magic thought the answer needed to be known. Instead of simply listing off the various things she liked about the twins, her mind brought up what she had seen a few of the witches do when they were dating a wizard in Hogwarts, their names appeared with whatever adjective she assigned to each letter of their name. So, much to her mortification, Hermione began to answer.

When Hermione had finished, she tried to hide behind her hair but neither twin would let her. Instead they stood beside her and lifted her chin so she could watch as they both drank a vial.
"Fred, what do you think of Hermione Granger?" George asked in a serious voice.

After Fred finished, Hermione felt her blush flow down to her toes. She couldn't believe he felt that way about her and he had kept eye contact the whole time. Then to her surprise, Fred asked George the same question.
"George, what do you think of Hermione Granger?"

When George finished his list of descriptions, Hermione was astonished. She had no clue either wizard saw her as more than Ron's and Ginny's friend. Her mind reeled at the implications. After a few minutes, she finally found her voice.
"Is that how you feel? Both of you?"
"Yes." Fred and George answered together and without an ounce of hesitation.
"Well, where do we go from here?" Hermione asked, still feeling a bit shaken by their revelations.
Instead of answering, Fred tilted her head towards him and kissed her, allowing his desire to shine through so there would be no doubt to his feelings. When he finished, George allowed her only a moment to catch her breath before he pulled her body to him and kissed her already mushy mind completely senseless.
