Chapter fifteen

Back at the Burrow…

Hermione hadn't been feeling well lately, she'd been studying hard for her NEWTS.

Ron had stormed out a few times when she tried to bring up Harry or studying. She'd got sick of it so she'd kept quiet.

Hermione didn't sleep in Ron's room; dating or not niceties must be observed.

She slept in Ginny's room…

You'd have to be blind and deaf not to realize that Ginny was puking all the time. How Mrs. Weasley didn't notice Hermione had no clue…

It was about five thirty in the morning when Hermione was woken up by the sound of Ginny running for the bathroom.

Hermione felt sick herself and hurried after her, covering her own mouth.

She must have caught something from Ginny…

Once she'd rinsed her mouth she glared at the younger Gryffindor, "I don't know what you've got but we're going to St. Mungos. I'm tired of being distracted by whatever this is."

Ginny turned red, "If you're sick I don't see how that's my fault."

Hermione snapped, "We share a room idiot. If you have something I'd be the first to get it. Get dressed now and don't threat me with you bat bogey hex. I'll petrify you so fast your brain will spin." She shoved Ginny out of the bathroom, "Move it!"

Ginny moved slowly and dressed at a snail's pace.

Hermione tugged on jeans and a sweater before practically dragging Ginny while pocketing her wand.

They stumbled through the still dark House and into the Floo.

Ginny should be still in school but her mother had claimed she'd be tutored at home this year.

Not that Hermione had seen much evidence of that…

She doubted Molly had any idea that George up and disappeared.

Ron disappeared all the time.

Charlie was off it Romania and Bill was at Shell Cottage dealing with Fleur's pregnancy.

Molly claimed George merely needed time to come to his senses. As if George could truly replace Fred…

That was impossible…

Hermione grabbed a handful of Floo power and tossed it, "St. Mungos'." Once they arrived she dragged Ginny to the Non-magical Maladies ward, past the information desk and found Madam Pomfrey.

The former Hogwarts' nurse was working her until the repairs on the Castle were complete. The staff at the hospital was extremely short handed, there were so many injured from the war who needed care.

Madam Pomfrey spotted them and made her way over, "How can I help you girls?"

Hermione shove Ginny forward, "I'm staying at the Burrow. We're sharing a room. Ginny has something and now I think I have it. I'm tired, irritable and I throw up. I want to know what she gave me and I'll need something to take so I can deal with this. I have NEWTS to study for and I don't have time to be sick."

Nurse Pomfrey tutted and escorted them to nearby chairs. Waving her wand and casting diagnostic spells, she frowned, "Miss Granger, I am afraid what Miss Weasley has is not contagious. I am afraid she is four months pregnant and suffering from morning sickness."

Ginny yelped, "What? I can't be. I always use protection." She groaned, "Merlin…"

Hermione crossed her arms, "We've got the same symptoms. I don't think I can be pregnant…I've only had penetrative sex once…"

Nurse Pomfrey shook her head, "It only takes one time without protection…" she cast spells on Hermione as well. "You're correct. You are also pregnant. Since you only had it once. I suspect you are sure who it was." She glared at Ginny, "I hope you do. I know you've had to see me for personal matters before and I warned you to be more careful. I had hoped after your last scare you would have learned your lesson. I suggest you go home and think back to who exactly you had intercourse with around the time of conception. It would have been early May, they will all have to be informed. The sire cannot be legally determined until after the birth so a lot of unhappy wizards will be stuck on tender hooks to find out if they have a child. Whoever's it is you can tell them is a girl. Most families won't care if a female is born outside of a bonding contract."

Hermione swallowed, "Pregnant? My parents would be so disappointed. I haven't had time to look for them…I'll have to tell Ron…"

Ginny groaned, "You are lucky…I'll have to see who is still alive…"

Hermione glared, "Tell me you didn't sleep with the entire DA."

Ginny crossed her arms, "No. I don't like girls and Seamus was a stuck up prig."

"Maybe he just didn't want to sleep with the DA's whore."

Ginny slapped her, "You told me to go out with other guys to make Harry jealous."

Hermione glared, shoving her, "I didn't tell you to sleep your way threw my entire year!"

"I didn't! Harry wouldn't have sex with me. Seamus told me he wouldn't touch me with a ten-foot broomstick. Dean wasn't around. You think I'm bad? Pavarti had a baby in the Room. It kept us all up with its crying. It's nto like I slept with Slytherins and I wouldn't have sex with my own brother."

A silencing spell was cast on the both of them.

Madam Pomfrey hissed, "I don't care about your personal lives. You're disturbing my patients. I recommend you speak with the prospective fathers immediately. The silencing charm will wear off once you leave the hospital. Now leave."

The two Gryffindors glared at each other before stalking off.

XoooooX

Eyes opened, they were rubbed. They were thick with sleep.

The person looked around, it was dark and this war a narrow space.

They felt their wand resting on their chest and grabbed it.

"Lumos."

The faint light showed that they were in a rectangular box.

A coffin?

They should have suffocated…

They pointed their wand at the coffin's lid and muttered a blasting curse.

The lid blew off and was proceeded by dirt which also rained down.

They levitated themselves and then stepped out onto solid ground.

It was a cemetery.

He turned to read the headstone

Fredrick Maris Weasley

Born: April 1. 1978

Died: May 2, 1998

'He died a hero.'

Fred looked at himself, "Dead? They think I'm dead? The last thing I remember was laughing with Percy and then the world exploded." He glanced down at his wand, "They warned me. A Leprechaun hair wand bonds to incorrigible pranksters. It can bring good or ill luck to those without leprechaun blood. I guess my luck hasn't run out."

The weather looked like fall but when in Fall?

A familiar voice broke the silence.

"I thought you'd wake about now. I wasn't sure if I'd been right…"

Fred thought he knew that voice but it was scratchy. He brought up his wand as he spun around.

Severus Snape was standing there, and he looked haggard. His neck bore a ragged but healed scar. His hair was dirty and his body shook.

Fred glared, "What happened to you?"

"I fulfilled my duty to Albus. I was his man and the Dark Lord tried to kill me and left me for dead. I gave Harry the information he needed to defeat the Dark Lord. While he was reviewing my memories I swallowed the same anti-venom I brewed for your father. I realised too late that you'd been buried alive. I didn't protect your sister as well as I should have. To make up for that I've seen to it that you had plenty of air. I couldn't reverse the curse but I did my best to help you recover on your own. Come quickly, I hear someone coming. It would be best not to be seen yet."

"Why should I trust you?"

"I helped you live. You owe me a life debt Weasley. Your family owed me one for saving your father's life after Nagini attacked him. Now hurry…"

Not understanding quite why, Fred followed

They made their way through the graveyard and out of a kissing gate.

Snape cast a spell on them that made them invisible to anyone but themselves. "Follow me."

They headed towards a slightly familiar house.

Fred blinked, "Isn't this the Potter's house?"

Snape glared at him, "Yes now shut up and come here."

They walked through the ruined gate and overgrown yard.

Once inside Fred realized that some repairs had been made.

"Why here?"

Snape snapped, "Why not? It's the last place anyone would look. Besides, I've got work to do. I'm finishing Lily's research. I've given my worldly possessions to Harry. I hope he's smart enough to give some of them to Draco. I heard that Harry got him away from the Ministry. That stubborn git even had me buried at Hogwarts with Albus. Tried to have me claimed a Hero. He oversaw my funeral himself, called me the 'bravest man he ever knew'. Hogwash!."

"Why am I here?"

"I kept you alive. I want you to give a message to Draco. Tell him I am alive. I'd rather stay dead. I don't want to be tried for my 'crimes.' Most people don't know that I have another Legal name. I took the Potions' masters exam twice. I'm going by the name Aurelian Prince. My mother was a Prince and Aurelian was a tribute to the woman I loved. It was a type of lily. Now he is welcome to try to contact me. I want him to keep my being alive a secret. Now, I suggest you do the same. Tell you family anything you want just leave me out of it. Don't even tell your twin."

Fred narrowed his eyes, "You order me here and now you kick me out?"

"I wanted to give you a message in a place I knew would be safe from being overheard. If you hurry you can meet your mother. That is if you want her to have a heart attack. Your brother Charlie is back in Romania. Bill is in Cornwall, expecting the birth of a daughter. George is locked in his room. Ron is sneaking out to visit Miss Brown and is cheating on Granger. Ginny is pregnant and doesn't know it yet. As is Miss Granger. I don't know when they will figure it out but I doubt that either will take it well. Ron will abandon Granger and Ginny is a very promiscuous girl. I doubt she has any idea who the father might be. It could be anyone among the Resistance."

Before Fred had time to truly process the information he found himself back outside the 'ruined' cottage in the narrow lane.

He turned on his heel and made his way back to the graveyard.

XoooooX

Hermione stumbled out of the floo and nearly crashed into Ron who was stuffing his face as he tried to walk into the floo.

"Watch it 'Mione. I'm leaving."

"When did you get home Ron?"

"None of your business. You're not my mother. I spent the night at a friends."

Hermione chewed on her lip, "You can't leave…we've got to talk."

"Talk? You mean lecture! All you do is lecture. If it's not about Harry, it's about NEWTS! I've been accepted into Auror's training, why do I need NEWTS? They want me to track down Dark Wizards. Since Harry isn't around I've gotten partnered with Neville."

Hermione's eyes filled with tears, "Please…" she said grabbing his sleeve, "Talk to me…it's important."

"You're going to make me late for training. I don't have time for preaching. We're over. I'm sick of your moralizing and lecturing. I'm going to stay with Lavender. I've been sleeping there anyway. You're such a pain, we're supposed to be dating and you won't even give me any sign you want me." His eyes narrowed, "You never did want me did you? You were willing to settle for me. You were always following Fred with your eyes. Too bad for you, he's dead. So I'll do? Hah! I'd rather be with someone who actually wants me. Now get out of my way Hermione!" Ron shoved her out of the way.

Hermione wrapped her arms around her stomach to protect the baby.

"You git! You can't push a pregnant woman! I'll tell dad! He'll turn you over his knee." Ginny yelled.

It was too late.

Ron was gone…

Molly blinked, "Pregnant? You're having a baby Hermione?"

Hermione burst into tears, "I wish I wasn't." she shoved Ginny away, and ran out of the kitchen. Not caring that she was bleeding from where she hit the edge of the counter."

Not caring if Apparation was safe Hermione Apparated to the graveyard in Godric's hollow.

It was the last place anyone who look for her…

It didn't have any happy memories but she had no one.

Ron had abandoned her, Molly barely noticed her and Harry was off in Greece.

She ran towards Fred's grave blindly.

When she saw the broken coffin lid and the dirt all over she burst into wild sobs.

"Why! Why? Why couldn't he just be left to sleep in peace? Haven't we all suffered enough? Who would do this?"

Hermione rocked, hugging herself.

Now that she wasn't Ron's girlfriend, she didn't feel like she belonged at the Burrow anymore.

Harry was mad at her and all the owls she'd tried to send came back unopened.

What was she going to do? Her parents didn't know her because she'd taken their memories of her and sent them to Australia.

"Hermione? What's wrong?"

The voice was familiar but her mind rebelled against the memory.

"Do you know where they've taken his body? Do you know who could have done this? I don't have much money but if you'll tell me where it is I'll bury it somewhere where it won't bother anyone…please…"

A hand touched her shoulder, "Hermione, no one took my body away. I did that. Someone cast a curse on me. It's me, Fred."

Hermione turned and screamed before faint.

XoooooX

Fred hadn't expected to find Hermione Granger of all people at his grave.

He had expected to find his mother…not that he was too eager to see her at the moment.

Fred remembered that Snape said that Hermione was pregnant.

Forgetting everyone thought he was dead, Fred picked up the bleeding and unconscious girl and Apparated straight to St. Mungos.

He shoved everyone out of his way and snapped, "I have an unconscious bleeding pregnant witch. Where do I take her?"

"Non magical maladies ward. Second floor. No pushing."

Fred glared at her and ran cradling Hermione in his arms. He stormed into the ward, he saw Madam Pomfrey tending to a patient and yelled, "Hey Poppy! Get over here!"

The woman turned and glared, "George you wait your turn! I'm dealing with a patient."

"Hermione's pregnant, she's bleeding and unconscious. I want her seen now."

She apologized to the patient and made her way over, "If I didn't know any better I'd think you were Fred with those bossy ways."

Fred grumbled, "I am. Now can you see if she's alright? She's had a bit of a fright. I found her at my grave sobbing. She took one look at me and fainted. Not that I blame her. They all think I'm dead."

"What you mean they think you're dead? You're George."

Fred shifted his grip on Hermione and brushed back his hair, "No, I've got both my ears. Now can you see if she's alright?"

Nurse Pomfrey gasped, "Fred? Merlin How is this possible."

"I managed to overthrow the Buried Alive curse. Is she alright?" Fred asked, worried sick about Hermione.

Nurse Pomfrey cast some spells, "Mild concussion and suffering from shock. If it weren't for the concussion I would say let her sleep it off. I think she needs to be taken to a safe place. She needs to be woken every hour." She summoned some vials, "A mild painkiller, it's safe for pregnant witches. A mild calming draught. Here are some vitamin potions. I suggest you find some place for her to rest comfortably. I'm only trusting you because I know that curse and a Polyjuice potion wouldn't give someone two ears when George has one. Besides, I know Fred. I'm sure you are him or I wouldn't be releasing her into your care. Someone upset her, probably that idiot brother of yours. I suggest you keep them apart until she calms down. She's got a hand print bruise on both her arms and she knocked her head on a sharp object probably a counter. I'd turn him in for abuse. She's pregnant." An epiksey and the head wound was gone."

Fred shifted Hermione in his arms, "Can you give me a bag or something for them? I'm not sure where we can go. I think she needs space from Ron. I can see if the shop is salvageable. Maybe the basement is still habitable."

Madam Pomfrey conjured a drawstring bag and tied it to his belt. "There now clear out. You Weasleys are so disruptive. I expect you to find her a healer. Maternity isn't my specialty. I'll treat her if I have to but I'm merely a nurse."

"I'll find someone. I think Andromeda is a healer."

"She's a birth healer but she's been retired for years. She birthed her grandson but I heard she's out of the country."

Fred cursed, "Damn. Ask around would you? I'll be at my place of business."

"Don't let her do much. Wake her every hour until the swelling goes down. Her head will be sore for a while."

Fred made his way to the floos and then flooed to Diagon Alley. Given Hermione's reaction, he wasn't sure he was willing to face his mother. Those hand prints could only belong to Ron, he wasn't putting Hermione in danger by bringing her to The Burrow.

He found his shop, the windows where busted and the door kicked in.

The contents of the shop had been tossed in a large pile and burned.

Someone had put out the fire before it consumed the shop so it seemed structurally sound. The stairs had been busted by himself and George to give them more time to escape when the shop had been attacked.

Fred muttered the reversal spell to repair them, and then he made his way upstairs.

He was surprised that it seemed practically untouched.

It was really dusty…

Fred used a spell to banish the dust, he cast a fire in the hearth to warm the room..

He shook out a blanket and covered Hermione with it.

Then he made his way to the ice box, it seemed that everything had gone bad.

Sighing he banished it all.

He scribbled a note:

'Hermione,

You're safe here. I've left you your wand. I'm going to prove my identity to Gringotts and then get some food. I took you to see Madam Pomfrey. She says to take the potions. One is for your headache and the other is for shock. Don't leave until we have time to talk. Please.

Fred'

He hurried down the stairs, warding the shop to seem empty. He didn't want anyone noticing the smoke from the fire.

He made his way to Gringotts, "I'd like to see a goblin about my vault."

"Name?" a bored goblin teller snipped.

"George?"

Fred turned to see Bill.

"Merlin it can't be. You're dead."

Fred sighed, "It is me. See?" he tugged on his ears, "I've got both my ears. I'm here to prove myself. I don't have a lot of time. I've left Hermione at my shop. She's unconscious."

"WHAT?"

Fred rolled his eyes, "She saw me and fainted. Not that I blame her. We've got to have a talk with Ron. You can't go around beating on pregnant witches."

"Hermione's pregnant?" Bill asked wonderously.

"Can we talk about this privately? I know you work here. My estate manager was Ragnok."

"Ragnok is dead. So is Griphook. I'll see whose available. Move and I'll escort you to the Ministry myself."

Fred sighed, "I'll wait."

Bill left and returned five minutes later with an unfamiliar goblin.

"He claims to be Fred Weasley…" Bill said.

"I am Fred Weasley."

"We can discuss this in my office."

Fred followed the goblin and Bill to Bill's closet of an office.

The door was warded.

"Name?" the goblin snapped.

"Fredrick Maris Weasleys."

"Parents?"

"Bearer: Mary Lynette born to the House of Prewett better known as Molly. Sire: Arcturus Evrain Weasley, first born of Septimus Weasley. I am the fourth born. I have a twin born twenty minutes later, George Caius. I received four OWLS and was once Banned for life from Quidditch."

"All public information." Bill said crossing his arms.

"When Ron was three he broke our toy broom and we turned his teddy bear into a spider. We once tried to trap him in the Unbreakable Vow never to spy or tag along after us but dad stopped us. We stole dad's flying car the Summer of our Fourth Year to get Harry away from his Muggle relatives. We told mum that they had bars on his window. She didn't believe us. I once walked in on you in an empty classroom eating out a girl my first year. You were so mad you threatened to tell mum about my breaking into Filch's office. If you'd been caught you would have been in serious trouble and might not have been Head Boy. You were our House Keeper until your Seventh Year when you were Head Boy. You recommended Charlie for Quidditch Captain and you'd been training Oliver to replace you as our Team's Keeper."

"Anyone could find that stuff out…" Bill stammered.

"I'll take Veritaserum. I'm sure that Gringotts has it…" Fred sighed.

"According to the copy of the family Tapestry in the Weasley's main vault, Fred isn't dead and never was." The goblin said stiffly.

Bill blinked, "What?"

Fred grinned, "I was under the Buried Alive Curse. I managed to throw it off because,"

"You hold a Leprechaun hair wand." The goblin sneered. "It's written in your file. You purchased a wand within one year of opening your business vault. You notified us of the wand change. Now you're welcome to test him but As far as Gringotts cares he's never been dead. "You ordered a special lock for your vault, what is it?"

Fred smirked, "It's a blood lock. It can't be fooled by glamours or Polyjuice. It only opens for George or myself."

The goblin nodded, "Identity verified. You wish to make a withdrawal?"

Fred nodded, "I would like to withdraw twenty galleons, forty sickles and eight Knuts. I need to go shopping. It's been a while and I don't know the prices."

"You may remain Weasley. If you will follow me."

Fred followed the goblin to the platform where one entered the carts.

Still unbelieving William followed him.

They rode the cart to Fred and George's vault.

Fred climbed out of the cart and used a weak cutting curse to cut his finger. He touched the lock with his finger.

The vault opened.

He smirked at Bill, "Satisfied?"

Bill gaped at him.

Fred made his way into the vault.

Just inside where shelves lined with journals…

Bill followed him inside, "What are those?"

"Copies of our research. We have linked journals. We kept a copy at the shop of the one we were working ont. All completely journals are here. That's why some have two copies. We have a working journal and a master journal. Every product we've ever conceived's creation is here. In case mum ever burnt them we have multiple copies."Fred found a spare wallet and filled it with coins. He grabbed a handful of empty journals and

most of the working journals, except for the last one. Sighing, he copied the master journal. "If I wasn't Fred I couldn't have entered this place, much less copied a journal. Only George and I know the spells and they can only be cast by us. George must have the last working journal."

"Are you going to talk to Angelina?"

Fred swallowed, "Eventually. I don't know what to do. She said she was pregnant. So I proposed. I didn't find out until later that she and Lee fooled around at a party. Someone had put lust potion in the drinks. Angelina didn't know they'd slept together because Lee'd made it look like they'd slept alone. He told me as soon as he found out about the baby. He was worried it was his…"

"Oh…Mum's been trying to get George to agree to Bond to Angelina."

Fred snorted, "Hah! Never happen. George doesn't like girls."

"He's bent?"

"Yeah, just like Charlie and Percy's bi."

Bill's eyes widened, "Percy's what?"

"He's been sleeping with Oliver off and on for years. Penelope found out about it and dumped him. Oliver stopped seeing Percy after he found out how Percy was treating Harry. Where's Percy been staying? I know George isn't at the Burrow. Ron's being staying else where and Charlie's back in Romania."

"You've been in a coffin for months, how do you know that?" Bill asked incredulously.

Fred shrugged, "I was almost sorted into Slytherin I have my sources." He'd said too much already…the last thing he wanted was Snape pissed off at him.

"I know Percy gave up his apartment after the battle. He wouldn't move home. He has been at Oliver's. He rarely comes over. He blames himself for your dying."

Fred shrugged, "Well he can stop beating himself up for it. I'm very much alive. Now, I need to go shopping. Hermione will be hungry. She hasn't eaten this morning…and she's pregnant. A little snake told me Ginny was too and that she slept with too many guys to know the father."

Bill grimaced, "Our little sister got called a whore? You let them?"

Fred snorted as he walked back to the cart, "You didn't see her in school. Unlike Ron, I knew who a lot of her bed partners were. She slept with two Ravenclaws: Corner and Davies. I know she slept with Zacharias Smith and Ernie Macmillan in Ron's year. She also went after older guys. She tried to go after Harry after Dean but he dropped her. Guess he didn't want a whore for a girlfriend. I don't think she went after snakes. She fooled around with Neville; he was always pressured into it. I don't think he wanted it. She made him invite her to the Yule Ball. He's been seeing Luna since before I left school. I hope she wasn't making him sleep with her. She can been frightening to the guys…"

They'd reached the surface by now…

"Where are you? I'll come by during lunch."

"I'm back at the shop. Its not as badly damaged as I thought. My apartment is undamaged but the shop has merely cosmetic damages. If I replace the floor and the windows I'll be alright. It's got some smoke and water damage though, someone caught the fire and put it out before much damage was done."

Bill scratched his head, "That would be me. I heard the commotion. I was worried so I used a notice me not spell. I scared them off and put out the fire. I couldn't let the place be ruined completely. No one asked and George didn't want to return to so I didn't bring it up."

Fred hugged him, "Thanks Bill. I'll make enough for the three of us. Maybe Hermione will believe it's me then."

He hurried out and went to his regular shops, not it the mood to argue whether he was alive or not, Fred hid his right ear with his hair. He picked up his usual groceries and hurried back to the shop. It was nearly time to wake Hermione…

He snuck into the shop and make his way upstairs. He opened the apartment door.

"Don't move or I will hex you."

Fred sighed, "Not again. Seriously, Hermione I wasn't gone that long. I went to Gringotts, I got money, I met Bill and then I went shopping. Gringotts, Bill and Madam Pomfrey agree that I'm Fred. Give it a rest. I'm not going to hurt you. Merlin, I'm not Ron. I wouldn't beat on a pregnant witch."

"What's that?" Hermione gestured at the bags.

"Food. I got eggs, bacon and bread for breakfast. I can't have eaten and you can't take those potions on an empty stomach. I picked up other things as well. Bill is coming for lunch."

"Not all of that is food."

"No, It's also work journals from my vault. I've got to put the business back together. The war is over don't you know? People need to laugh."

"You try to pois,"

Fred set the food down, "What sort of a person do you think I am? I wouldn't hurt you anymore than I'd hurt Angelina. You're pregnant."

"How do you know? Madam Pomfrey couldn't have told you."

"I can't say. I swore not to tell. Now I'm going to cook. You rest. You've had a shock. You need to take those potions. I'm supposed to wake you every hour. I'm to keep you from Ron…"

Hermione buried her face in slightly dusty pillow, "He's left me…he's been cheating on me with Lavender. I don't understand! She's not pretty anymore…she's got a nasty scar from Greyback. Ron's abandoned us…he wouldn't even let me tell him about the baby…"

"Well I'm sure that Lee's taking care of Angelina no matter what Mum says. If Ron won't step up than I will." Fred said as he whipped pepper into eggs.

Hermione glanced at him, "What?"

"Charlie's gay, so is George, they would have issues with the idea of bonding to a girl. Percy is probably back in Oliver's bed and I hope this time for good. Bill's already expecting a baby with Fleur. That leaves me. I suspect that Lee's confided in Angelina the truth by now. He'd insist they were bonded, probably eloped anyway. So I'm probably single. If you want to sent an owl to Angelina and ask go ahead. I don't mind. I always thought you were cute anyway. You're too smart for Ron anyway, he doesn't know what a special person you are." Fred said as he started to scrabble the eggs.

"Why would you want to raise Ron's baby?" Hermione asked quietly.

Fred snorted, "Ron's? No way, I'll blood adopt them. That's going to be my kid. I don't care what anyone says. Besides, with both of us as parents the kid will be brilliant and mischievous as hell. Probably either a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin…"

Hermione watched him with eagle eyes in silence, making sure he wasn't putting anything in the food.

He seemed to be making eggs, bacon and toast as he said.

He dished the food and poured them orange juice before putting the rest of the food away.

Fred made his way into the living room and held out a plate, "Sit up slowly, you're bound to be a little dizzy after a crack in the head like that. What happened anyway?"

"I tried to get ron to talk to me. He shoved me into the counter. Ginny tried to yell at him about the baby but I don't think he heard. Your mother was stunned. Ron actually accused me for cheating on him…" Hermione said quietly as she slowly sat up,

Fred snorted, "He's cheating on you and accused you of cheating? With who?"

Hermione turned red, "You…he said I always liked you. That I only dated him because I couldn't have you…"

"Is that true?" Fred asked smirking.

"Of course not…I did like Ron. He maybe a bully and a jealous prat but he has some good in him."

"You confounded someone to get him on the team. I saw you."

Hermione sighed, "He rarely played well after that. He's got no self-confidence. I can't believe that Kingsley was foolish enough to let him attend Auror training. He hasn't got his NEWTS and doesn't want to take them. He said all I do is lecture…."

"Let's not talk about Ron. What do you want to do after you take your NEWTS?" Fred asked changing the subject.

"I was thinking about going into the ministry but not if Ron's working there. I don't have the training to be a professor…Hogwarts is closed anyway." Hermione said sadly.

"So you've got no plans? Good. Since George took off to who knows where, you can help me put the shop together. We can order the supplies and I can teach you how to make our products. You're smart enough to learn. Besides, it will take two of use as well, Brewing was more George's thing. I'm better at charms and transfiguration." Fred said shrugging.

"You want to hire me? But,"

"Not buts doll, I can't pay much yet since we've got to make product. I can let you sleep in George's room for now and I'll even cook. You do the dishes and help me fix this place up and you'll have a roof over your head. I don't think you want to return to the Burrow right now and I really need the help." Fred said as he shovelled down the contents of his plate and went to fill it up again. :"What do you say?"

"I don't know…I'll admit some of your stuff is really ingenious but…"

"Forget about rules. You need to learn to have fun. You've got to learn to enjoy pranks, after all, that child of yours is going to probably prank you. You're got to get a sense of humour." Fred said chiding her.

Hermione sighed, "I guess I'll take the offer. Just until George comes back…I think he's with Harry…Harry seemed really worried for him when he told us he was going to Greece."

"Greece? Why would he be there?"

"He's being courted by Draco and another Slytherin. Draco's in Harry's custody and Harry's in love with him. Ron's pissed about that…I've tried talking to him but he doesn't listen. I just want Harry to be happy…" Hermione whispered.

Fred returned with a overstuffed plate and ruffled her hair, "Malfoy huh? Never would have guessed that one. As long as Draco makes him happy…I'll have to stand it." Or else Snape would have his hide most likely."

Hermione didn't finish her plate, she wasn't very hungry. "Can I finish this later? I want to lay down. My head hurts and I'm dizzy."

Fred set his plate down and held out the pain reliever, "One sip mind."

Hermione handed him her plate and took one sip of the potion.

Fred exchanged it for the calming draught, "One sip of this too."

Hermione followed the instructions before curling back up. "Thanks."

"No problem. I've got to take care of you so I can train you…"

"Jerk." Hermione muttered but it was without heat.

Fred put her plate away in the icebox and finished his own. He got out a bucket and filled it with hot water and soap.

He had cleaning to do; he wasn't going to expect Hermione to live in a dirty place. Besides, he wanted to prove he was going to stick to his word.

He had to clean up George's room and wash the bedding before Hermione could comfortably sleep there. The place hadn't been cleaned since before the Death Eaters tried to destroy the shop….

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N: So I saved them both. The person waking was always going to be Fred but someone had to know the curse and keep oxygen in the coffin or Fred would have suffocated. Snape was a spy, he knew Voldy could turn on him at anytime. He already had an anti-venom for Nagini and he knew what potions an attack by her needed. His body wasn't found, he could have escaped. He didn't want to be punished or honoured so he disappeared. The only person left he cares for is Draco, he helped keep Fred alive so Fred could give his godson a message.

I am sure you are all happy with this chapter. We'll be back to Harry, Draco and Blaise [maybe some George and Seamus] next chapter.
