The summer passed by quickly and before Hermione knew it, their last day was upon her. She had learned so much about dragons, and the twins. Every scar, future plan, and so many stories. They had spent everyday together for the whole summer and it never got old. They had managed to get plenty of dragon fire while they worked and minimal scars. Hermione had a brand new stack of books packed away in her luggage and the twins had new ideas to try once they got back to their workshop.
She would slip Charlie's bracelet on every morning when she woke up and sneak back into her own room. Charlie would roll his eyes when he saw her exit from her room, but seemed content once he saw the bracelet on her wrist. It made her feel a bit guilty but that never lasted long. Charlie finally gave Hermione the command word on the way to the portkey that would take them home. Charlie hugged his brothers one last time once they made it.
"I'll miss you trouble makers." He said.
Fred and George patted his back good naturedly.
"We'll come back soon." Fred said.
"You'll see us so much you'll get sick of us." George added.
"You're probably right. On second thought, two months was plenty." Charlie laughed.
They finished their goodbyes. To Hermione's surprise Charlie gave her a hug too.
"You're pretty much family too. Take care of these two for me."
He winked at her and left them standing there.
Once he was out of sight, Fred and George grabbed her hands.
"We knew he'd approve of you." Fred said.
"I wonder how he figured it out though?" George asked.
"He's way sharper than we gave him credit for." Fred answered.
They lay down on the grassy hill to wait until the time came to grab the portkey, a rusty bucket, and go back home. The breeze blew and George's messy hair whirled around his face. Hermione smiled and wrapped a strand around her finger. George grabbed her and pressed a kiss to her palm.
"We got something for you." Fred said from behind her.
"Well two somethings." George chuckled.
George kept her hand in his and pulled a small ring from his pocket. It was a small silver band that resembled woven vines. Hermione's heart nearly stopped. He slipped it gently on her finger.
"It's a promise ring." He said.
Fred pulled a similar ring from his pocket and slipped it on her other hand. This one was also a silver band, but had small blue crystals embedded in it.
"One for each of us." He gave her a lop-sided smile.
"I wanted to tell you I love you." George whispered and captured her lips gently with his.
Fred pulled her toward him and out of his brothers grasp.
"And I love you."
He poured all his passion into a kiss that left her gasping for breath.
Hermione felt so happy she could cry. She had never imagined she could have something as amazing as this. She was already a muggle-born witch and now she had these two beautiful boys that loved her. What more could she ever want in the world?
"I love you both too." She choked over the words.
The twins held her gingerly between them. They didn't move until it was time to leave. Hermione stood with a sigh.
"I'll miss spending everyday with you guys." Hermione said.
"Don't get too lonely without us." Fred teased.
"Definitely get lonely without us. We'll come kidnap you anytime you want." George laughed.
They held hands as they grabbed the portkey and soon the world tilted and they were back.
The school year had come quickly after all the summer excitement. By the time they had gotten on the train to go back to school, the boys had perfected the invisibility potion with Hermione's help. Unfortunately for them though, they had rarely been left alone. Harry and Ron pulled her away any chance they got, exclaiming that she had spent plenty of time with her nose in a book for the summer.
Once they were on the train however, Harry and Ron were swarmed with quidditch talk and Hermione slipped away. It didn't take long to find the twins. She saw them waving her over, and they pulled her into a compartment and shut the door firmly behind her.
"We were hoping you'd find us." George smirked.
"Haven't had a moment of peace since we got back." Fred sighed and pulled her until she was sat on his lap with her back against him. He nuzzled his head into her neck and gave her a squeeze.
"Hey no hogging our lady all on your own!" George frowned.
"First come first serve!" Fred laughed.
George slid onto the seat next to them and pulled her lips to his. Hermione couldn't help but laugh.
"I know its pointless to say to you two, but we are on a train you know. We could get caught any minute." She said.
Hermione could almost feel Fred rolling his eyes.
"We'll have none of that today, thanks." George said.
"Its been way too long." Fred groaned as he slid his hands down her frame.
Hermione blushed and half heartedly swatted him away.
"No way! There's a giant window." Hermione said.
"Fine, fine. Best behavior, we swear. Right George?" Fred asked.
"Of course." George grinned.
Hermione wondered what their "best behavior" entailed…
Fred sat her on the seat between them and they both lay their heads on her shoulders. For a while all they did was talk, their hands tracing gentle circles on her palms. They talked about tests, all they had accomplished with their store, how best to utilize their new invisibility potion to terrorize the school. Eventually, their hands found their way to more sensitive areas.
First it was feather-light touches up and down her arms. Then they trailed up her neck and over her thighs. Fred's hand slid under her shirt hem, while George's lifted her skirt an inch. They continued to talk while keeping themselves frustratingly tame. Hermione didn't stop them but they refused to cross the line into dangerous territory. It was maddening after so long without them. Hermione was determined not to break but George's sexy voice with his hand on her thigh and Fred's breath on her neck paired with his hand creeping across her skin were so hard to resist. Their best behavior was nowhere near what she wanted. She groaned and plopped her head back on the seat. The boys stopped what they were doing.
"Sorry Hermione, we'll stop." Fred said.
"Best behavior really this time." George added.
Instead of answering Hermione lept up from the seat. The boys watched her, confused.
Turning away from them she lifted her shirt over her head, heart pounding loud enough to hear in the next cart. What had these boys done to her?
Before the boys could even react, she had slipped her skirt off. Both of them lept up when they realized and showered her with adoration. Hands were on her hips and her stockings were slipped off in the blink of an eye. No one said anything, but they moved in unison. George grabbed her breasts with his teeth while Fred rubbed circles into her clit from behind. Hermione moaned as quiet as she could.
"Here, bite on this." George pulled a cloth from his bag and pressed it to her lips. Hermione grabbed it and held it in her jaws tightly.
"Fuck, you're beautiful Hermione." George moaned.
He nodded to Fred, who moved out of the way. George grabbed her legs and pressed her naked back against the glass window. The cold bit into her skin and she gasped, surprised by the sudden sensation. George was already pressed against her before she realized it.
"Hold on tight." He growled low before slamming into her with enough force to shake the window.
Hermione wrapped her hands around his neck and pressed her nails deep into his flesh, the cloth the only thing keeping her anywhere close to quiet. George moaned curses into her ear as he pounded deeper and deeper into her until she couldn't remember her name. It wasn't long before Hermione was over the edge and trembling around his cock. As she clamped down on him, he groaned louder and slammed into her one last time before letting her go with a kiss.
Fred 's turn was next and he wasted no time. He turned her around against the window. She watched as houses past by and she blushed at the thought of anyone seeing her like this. Fred lifted one of her legs and pressed it onto the window sill. The position seemed awkward to her but not for long. Fred slowly pushed his way into her from behind. He reached around to grab her breasts and went in and out at such a torturously slow pace. He was reaching a place Hermione hadn't even known existed. And the longer it took for him to push his cock into her, the more excited she got. She found it hard to control her urge to push back onto him as he continued his slow pace. As soon as she started rocking her hips back, he sped up all at once. Hermione cried out in surprise as her body was pushed against the cold glass. She came hard and her screams leaked out of the cloth in her mouth. Fred kept going for what seemed like forever before he gasped and stilled inside her.
Both the boys helped her get dressed as quickly as possible. And it was a good thing they had. As soon as she had adjusted her clothes, a knock on the door made her panic. George opened the door to the trolley lady.
"Anything from the trolley, dears?"
Hermione sighed and sunk into the seat while George bought several snacks from her.
"You worry too much, love." Fred said.
He pecked her cheek and lay down in her lap. George lay against her shoulder and they all fell asleep to the sound of the train clacking down the track, content to be together.
A lot had changed this school year, but Hermione was too stressed to worry about anything else but her OWLs. She had tried to get Harry and Ron to study harder, to no avail. At a certain point, they began avoiding her all together. So she spent most of her time studying with the twins, who for their part took her frantics well.
"Calm down Hermione. You'll do fine." Fred whispered in her ear, making her jump.
They had been studying for so long her head had begun to hurt.
"I think we need a break, love." George encouraged.
Hermione sighed. She had spent the last few months studying and knitting hats for the house elves and even she had to acknowledge she was burnt out. She closed the book and pushed it across the table with a huff.
"Its driving me crazy. I'm nowhere near prepared enough. There's so much to do!"
George brushed his hand against hers under the table they sat at in the common room. There were many people here and Hermione nervously eyed those around her.
"Come on, you need to relax."
Fred pulled her to her feet and the three huddled together in a dark corner. The twins handed her a vial she recognized as their finished invisibility potion. They both had one of their own.
Test run time." Fred's eyes glinted with excitement.
"Bottoms up" George announced before draining his vial.
Fred followed suit, downing it in one gulp.
Hermione hesitated for only a moment before closing her eyes and drinking it.
It burned as it went down, like her whole body was aflame. But it was only for a second. After that, she felt weightless and untethered. But she couldn't see the twins either.
"Meet at the room of requirement, guys." George's disembodied voice said.
Hermione made her way to it, stopping in front of the mirror on her way to see her empty reflection. She laughed, astonished, and a first year standing nearby whipped around.
She left quickly for the room of requirement. After turning into the final hallway, a door was already there. She stepped through and it was breathtaking. She stood on a hill, flat enough for a pond, a small house, and a set of benches to sit on its peak. The stars shone overhead, or what seemed like stars. It had to be some kind of room for it to be in the room of requirement, right?
She watched the stars, trying to figure out what they could be.
"You guys here?" Fred's voice lept from the darkness to her right.
"Come inside, I have the counter potion." George called from the house.
They each drink from another vial and were once again visible.
"That worked great!" Fred said.
"Next time we'll test duration." George murmured.
"We don't reflect in the mirrors either, I checked." Hermione added.
"Nice, Hermione." Fred gave her a peck on the cheek.
The house was a small room with a bathroom attached. A nice four poster bed was shoved to one corner.
The other side had a fireplace, already lit and invitingly warm. A fridge hummed from the corner and a stove waited patiently to be used, covered in a thick layer of dust.
A old wooden oak table filled the middle. A bottle of wine and fresh fruit was placed there. How it had gotten there, Hermione had no idea.
Music played softly from nowhere.
Fred slipped his hand in hers and they swayed gently to the music. He twirled her beautifully and pulled her back against him with a soft touch. He whispered sweetly in her ear, his fingers touching his ring on her finger.
"I love you, Hermione."
"I love you too, Fred." She replied.
He spun her again and she felt George's warmth hold her from behind. His hands wrapped gently around her waist.
"I love you too." He said.
His voice was a low growl and made her weak in the knees.
"I love you too, George." Hermione replied, breathless.
They spent a long time dancing and talking. Eventually they grabbed the wine and headed back outside, to lay on the hill and watch the stars.
They fell asleep like that, curled together on the hilltop, drunk on each other and the empty wine bottle.
It was their last peaceful day. When they left the next day, curfews were stricter and teachers roamed the halls. The twins spent a lot of time making whizbangs and Hermione threw herself into studying. By the time tests came around she was a bundle of nerves. On her way to the classroom, the boys led her into a empty corridor.
"Good luck, love." George gave her a sweet smile and a quick kiss.
"you'll do great." Fred added a kiss of his own.
They were filled with a nervous sort of energy but Hermione barely noticed.
"Meet us after at the one eyed hag statue." George said, before they hurried away.
It didn't take long for her to figure out what was going on with them. They flew their brooms and threw their whizbangs and they were gone.
Hermione couldn't believe they had done it! She never thought they'd just quit school. She rushed down the corridor as soon as she got the chance, slowing when she saw the statue. She slipped in the hidden corridor and she was immediately grabbed by the twins in a hug. She pushed them away.
"what were you two thinking!?" She fumed.
Fred held his hands up in surrender.
"Calm down, Hermione. We decided to do this when the restrictions were put in place." He said.
"Please don't be angry. We have the shop all set up now. We couldn't stay anymore." George begged.
Hermione could feel tears prick her eyes.
"Why couldn't you tell me?" She whimpered.
Fred approached cautiously, giving her plenty of room to retreat. He wiped the tears from her eyes and held her.
"We were afraid." He replied.
"Afraid of what!?" She screeched.
"Afraid you wouldn't be okay with it. That you'd pour your energy into stopping us and stressing out even more than you already were." George came and kissed her cheek.
"You should have TOLD me." Hermione said.
They held her and apologized over and over until she was calm. She held onto them for a long time after, not wanting them to leave her.
"I won't be able to see you anymore." Hermione said.
The boys stared at her in shock.
"You're leaving us?" Fred began.
"No, no, no Hermione please don't do this." George continued.
Hermione shook her head.
"That's not what I meant. I meant you won't be in school anymore. How are we going to meet?" She asked.
They both sighed in relief.
"That's easy. We can just say you're dating one of us." Fred shrugged.
"We were going to flip for it." George added.
Hermione thought about it for a bit. It would work. If they were dating, she had plenty of reason to visit them whenever she wanted.
"Your both okay with this?" Hermione asked.
"As long as your okay with it. Your with both of us, no matter what anyone else thinks." Fred gave her a sweet smile and caressed her cheek.
"He's just saying that cause he thinks he's going to win." George scoffed.
Fred rolled his eyes at his brother and Hermione laughed.
"Fine we'll flip for it." She said.
She pulled a coin out her pocket, and flicked it into the air.
