It was that afternoon they all were found in the dining table having their dinner, a few more minutes then they all will be leaving to grimmauld place by floo network.
Hermione was sitting in between Ginny and Fred, the latter who was stroking her thighs on top of her jeans under the table despite having no success from the morning to find a private place to kiss her.
Because one Molly had her eye fixed on the pair and the second thing is Hermione simply wasn't in the mood.
As Ron had stepped into his house, there was an awkward silence in the whole house, that was until Molly had swooned over her son clutching a letter from percy.
Swooning over her son, she cried that how she is sorry for not taking care of him properly, sorry for making him feel neglected, few minutes later Ginny joined her brother and mother in the happy family reunion.
But Fred, George and Harry were having a glaring competition with ron, whom was still deciding who to glare at.
For the whole day, she and ron had avoided even looking at each other or sitting in the same room, no one noticed it except harry, who asked about it later to her.
"Hermione is something wrong. Why are you being with ron" Harry asked curiously.
"You know why harry, he will try to deliberately pick up a fight, call me some foul words and i can't control Fred then" She lied, but made him believe it anyway.
Tonks and lupin had joined them tonight for dinner before going to grimmauld place to set everything ready for them with Sirius.
The head of the house arthur was here and they all have already packed set to leave once the dinner is over.
She looked across from her, where ron was sitting stuffing his mouth full of food, not caring about the look of disgust cast by her, harry and Ginny.
"So Hermione" Tonks said making her brake her looking at ron "You both seem so smitten with each other. You make a lovely couple you know" Tonks said gesturing to her and Fred.
Ron snickered, trying not to chock himself with his mouthful of food.
Fred and George glared at him. Hermione blushed knowing why he found that funny, rather than to tonks compliment.
"Atleast i was capable of having a girlfriend little brother. Who do you have malfoy" Fred asked smirking making George and harry laugh out loud. Ron sneered at them.
But their smiled quickly vanished once they saw Mrs. Weasley glaring at them.
"Atleast i have a 'loyal' Friend..." Ron said basically to no one, Fred looked back confused. Hermione is sure her face was red as a tomato.
She took a deep breath and glanced at ron, making sure no one was seeing she throw a murderous glare at him.
She shook Fred's hand from her thigh, who pouted disappointingly at her before continuing with eating.
She stretched her legs and striked it straight at Ron's shin, causing him to yelp and grab his leg "ow"
"Ron, you alright" Molly asked concerned.
"Yeah, mum. I'm fine" He said glaring at Hermione.
Fred quickly caught on at looking at his girlfriend proud and amused before laughing and faked it as a cough, glanced at the other confused faces and whispered "later"
Ron continued glaring at her the whole time, when their eyes connected he mouthed a "I will get you back for that" but she smirked ignoring him.
A few minutes later, everyone was set in the kitchen ready to floo. Lupin and Tonks have already gone completing their dinner.
"Oh no..." Mr. Weasley groaned, near the fireplace.
"What is it arthur" Molly asked a bit scared quickly walking off to him.
"Nothing big to worry about molly, i forgot to fill the floo powder. Now only some handful remains" he said giving the pouch to his wife.
She opened it wider and examined it "Okay, kids. I'm going to magic your bags to go to grimmauld place, don't worry. But We have few handful of floo powder, so I suggest you all to go off in pair"
Fred grinned widely before coming to stand beside her, taking her hands into his big ones and clutching it tightly.
Hermione smiled at her boyfriend, before it turned into a grimace.
Mrs. Weasley was looking thoughtfully at them and also at where george and Ron were glaring at each other.
George was deliberately pushing ron, making to nearly fall over several times.
The weasley matriarch sighed before calling out "Okay first harry... Ginny will you both go first" She asked.
Ginny shrugged and lend her hand to harry, who has gone bright red all of a sudden.
He caught her hands with his shivering ones, fred smiled a little at his nervousness and Ron was looking like he is going to murder harry then and there.
Harry took a handful before shouting the name correctly they disappeared.
Next in the line was ron and george, the latter who pushed ron out before running to grab a handful who stopped by .
"Fred, you go with george"
Fred's mouth was agape "But...mum" he pointed to Hermione.
"I'm sure Hermione can take care of herself during floo travel. So if you would like to hold your brother's hand for once, it'll be nice" His mother said sternly.
Hermione's mouth had gone dry all of a sudden, if fred has to go with george then that means... she was going with HIM.
Fred smiled sadly at her, thinking her sudden stillness is because he isn't going with her, smiled sadly down at her before letting go of her hand.
He walked past Ron muttering "Try to hurt her and you'll see..." Before clasping his hands with george and vanishing in green flames.
"Now Hermione darling... you can go with ron. Ron come on step in quick" He grumbled something before walking over to her.
He took hold of her hand too rudely before pulling her towards himself and she caught a whiff of a fragrance she remembered clearly from their head room rendezvous as the sides of their body touched.
She hoped that the dizziness had everything to do with him pulling her rudely.
"I'll go in first and you follow me or else one of us could get our head hit" he said before going to stand inside. She huffed and followed him, she was about to enter herself when "Mind your head" he said softly, like he is concerned for her and she quirked an eyebrow at him, he quickly looked away, his ears red before turning to her again.
The floo space was much too cramped for two grown up people and she realised she was facing him with her nose almost touching his chest which seemed to radiate heat, or maybe it was her face...
"Turn around" he said softly and much too close. She hurried to adjust herself unconsciously and follow the confusing instructions as he held onto her right hand.
"I hate this...I hate you" she muttered in a low voice that was sure only to reach him and she hoped it sounded annoyed.
"The feelings mutual" He sounded honest. She took hold of the floo powder before doing the procedures right, then she felt the cool effect of the green flames and other voices got muffled in the sound of the fire.
The uncomfortable feeling of Floo travel was heightened by the effect of their bodies pressing close in the tight spot and his left arm wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to him. Her right palm was now encased in his other hand. His familiar closeness and his arms around her made goosebumps break out on her skin and an itching in her lower stomach in the most maddeningly pleasurable and infuriating way possible.
In her effort to control the shivering that arose from deep within, she clung on to the very person causing it. The spinning stopped abruptly, and Hermione was mortified to realise that she was holding his arm tightly in both hers, her body pressed firmly into his.
She looked up to find, Fred and harry looking at the two. Fred was glaring at ron, while Harry's jaw was on the floor, he is nothing looking at ron, he is looking at her that too unbelievably.
Despite the oddity of their surrounding, she looked up to find ron had his eyes closed and was tightly holding her against him, like she did several seconds before, she could feel the heat rising up her cheeks and sparks that ran down to her spine. However Ronald pulled his hand away without warning and moved out of the Floo.
As soon as he got out, Fred took hold of his shirt collar, he looked rage filled, ready to fight with his brother "I told you to let her go"
"Or else... what would you do" ron retorted back, Hermione ran and stopped between them.
"Fred, it's my fault, i was the one who...Who took hold of him, i lost my balance that's it" She lied.
Fred was still glaring at him, his hands not letting of ron's shirt. But as soon as the fireplace roared again he let go of him, before dragging Hermione along with him to the kitchen where the other's are.
On her way she glanced back at ron, who just smirked at her knowingly.
"Mum... you got to be joking!" Ron exclaimed loudly "I can't share a room with the bloody boy who lived" He said glaring at harry, who glared back.
"Molly i too think, it is not a good idea to have spend ronald and harry at a same room" Sirius said walking close to harry and molly "Besides your ward is a Slytherin" he said uncertainly.
"He is my son, not some death eater!" Molly shouted at sirius angrily, who backed with his hands held up in surrendering, bad idea to stand against Molly weasleys decisions.
"Ronald, I'm not asking you. If you don't want to sleep on the couch, then you are going to do exactly what I'm saying" His mother said getting frustrating.
"Mom, i can't be with him in a same room..."
"Don't think he enjoys it little brother, he hates the idea even more than you" George said smirking.
"See... Finally! We agree on something" Ron turned to his mother with a hopeful expression.
Suddenly they heard a pop and dumbeldore himself was standing in front of them "I see everyone is already present here" he said looking around through his half moon spectacles, but he frowned before asking "is there any problem here"
Lupin explain the situation, them dumbeldore smiled before asking to ron "Why ...Mr. potter are you both scared to be in a same room with each other" he said smiling a little.
Fred and george made kissing sound, ron glared at the old man,h he never had a good opinion on his headmaster, a opinion he hot from lucius malfoy and even the question was directed at both of them, it felt like a challenge to him "I'm ready then, I'm not scared. I'm not a baby" He said looking up and down at harry distastefully.
Harry gritted his teeth, before replying "I'm ready too then" narrowing his eyes at ron.
Hermione thought all of the things happened that night, before falling on the bed, he was in the next room with harry. Is he sleeping? Is he thinking about her? Did he had the same effect he had on her today?! She thought, But groaned turning around trying not to obsess over her boyfriend's brother. You hadn't even thought of fred this much she sighed inwardly.
She was sure whatever happened between them in the past, have somehow grown into something more than just being physical, it arousing some feelings which she hadn't felt before for anyone, not even for fred, the guy who she loves or she thought.
She is not sure about anything anymore, she never felt things when fred kissed her or he was touching her. But with ron, it was totally different. Maybe it's because you become the most vulnerable before ron and only kissed fred the nagging voice in his head said annoying her further.
She then felt the itch in her lower stomach between her thighs, thinking of him... her hands slowly moved down and she felt the wetness against her pajama pants.
She looked to her left where ginny was snoring quietly, her hands sneaked into her knickers and she closed her eyes, her fingers slowly circling her clit with so little pressure.
Her other hand clasped over her mouth, to avoid moaning out, she tried to think of fred, but the only think that came to her mind was the pair of her sparkling blue eyes.
She slowly slipped one of her finger into her dripping cunt, when suddenly she heard Ginny shifting in her bed and quickly took her hands out, turning to the other side of the room.
She sighed, this is not going to work. She loves fred, but this unwanted feeling about ron weasley has to get out of her head, it could cause rift between her and fred.
So she is going to just do that, quench this unrequited feeling about her boyfriends brother in whatever way she should.
Ron sighed loudly for the hundredth time tonight, he just couldn't sleep, it won't just come and it's boring.
"It's boring..." He said out loud and harry, who have the same problem rolled his eyes.
"It's boring" he said again, to no one in particular and harry took a deep breath to control himself.
"It's... boring..." Ron said again this time intentionally to make him hear.
"I know" Harry snapped back and rolled over facing away.
"Damn... the boy who lived can talk!" ron said and harry unconsciously started to laugh hard.
"Why the bloody are you laughing" ron grumbled, annoyed at the other boy.
"I don't know" harry said back between his laugh and ron joined him laughing himself "just stop laughing will you" he said now panting.
A few minutes later, they were just staring at the ceiling, traces of smiles on their faces breathing hard "It's still boring" ron said smiling softly.
Harry laughed again "Yeah. I know, what you reckon we do" he said looking at the red head sideways.
"Well i have an idea" ron said smirking at harry.
Several minutes later, harry was slumping in his chair across from ron having getting defeated by the red head countless time in the magical chessboard.
Harry yawned widely "I'm sleepy"
"Your just saying that so you can save some of your remaining dignity" ron said tilting his head, but yawning himself.
"No. Really, I'm going to bed" harry said and ron started to pack the chess set.
"Just for you to know, we are not friends, we are just two blokes trying to pase time"
"Of course. You won't want to betray your boyfriend"
"Draco is my best friend and no I'm not saying that for him, it's just i hate you too potter and he have a girlfriend if you're not aware yet"
Ron noticed that Harry's expression suddenly changed at the mention of Draco's girlfriend "Look potter, i know you have this sudden crush on my sister like you have at every girl once a year. But she is better off with draco and you are not that for her"
"You are just her brother ron, you don't know that. It's her say, not yours" harry said gritting his teeth, before rudely pushing his chair back and walking over to his bed, crawling into it "and also...I don't think Draco is good for her"
