Playing With Granger: Chapter 7
Harry could feel the anger washing off of him in spades. He was glad he had his cloak on and no one could see his face. What was Hermione thinking? Apparently, she wasn't doing much of that. It was bad enough that this year had started off so poorly with what had happened in Little Whinging and the Dementors, but his friends were now acting all strange around him. What in the blazes was Hermione hanging around Fred Weasley for? He continued to look at the map as he headed away from Gryffindor Tower. Sure enough, there were the dots of Fred Weasley and Hermione Granger almost on top of each other. What if Ron found out? Ron and Hermione were supposed to get together and they all knew it was eventually going to happen. Harry stopped when he heard footsteps coming down the hallway. He pressed up against the wall hoping that no one would find him. Great! Draco Malfoy came strutting along with Goon one and Goon two on either side of him.
"Are you sure you saw the Mudblood and one of the Weasley twins coming this way?" Draco spat out the words with such hatred.
"Uh, yeah, it looked like her," Goyle said.
"What was she doing with a twin? I thought it was the Weasel she was in love with?" Draco snarled, still discussing Hermione and Ron as they rushed past Harry.
My thoughts exactly, Harry thought as he waited for them to turn the corner before moving. Looking once again at the Marauder's Map both dots were in the same spot. He finally came to a wall with a picture; no it was a rug with a picture of one of those court jesters on it.
"Good day, Sir Knight. What brings you to my lair?"
Oh, good grief. Harry was not in the mood to make nice with some clown in a picture.
"I need to get in. I'm looking for my friend. She came here with Fred Weasley."
"Sorry, Sir Knight, there is no admittance for those not invited." Harry glared at the jester. The jester only smiled at him as he went back to juggling his brightly colored balls. Harry stood there watching him as he juggled and basically ignored him. He counted to ten to calm down as he thought of something else he could say to convince the jester to let him in.
"Jester, it's an emergency! I must get in to save my friend."
The jester turned back to Harry, "Your friend didn't look in need of a rescue when she arrived earlier." Harry cursed under his breath, tired of fighting with the stubborn jester. In frustration, he slumped against the wall and slid down to the floor.
Fred and Hermione had finally come up for air. Their snogging session on the sofa had been amazing as they not only kissed, but also had talked about what had happened in Hogsmeade. Fred's hands smoothed their way up Hermione's sides and started unbuttoning her white school shirt. She watched as he slyly slipped each button out between another kiss. Unbutton, kiss, unbutton, kiss, unbutton, kiss…until her shirt was wide open exposing her white, lacy bra. Fred's long fingers traced along the top of the bra where her breasts were peeking over the edge. His lips came down to softly kiss each soft, globe. Fred's grin lit up his whole face as he looked into her eyes.
"Hmmph…excuse me Sir Frederic, there is a noble, angry knight outside of your lair that is wishing to harm me if I do not let him enter." The jester paced around in the painting above the sofa. "The little man says it's an emergency that he speak to the fair maiden." The jester tried to cover his eyes, as he peeked down at Hermione.
Noticing where the jester's eyes were wandering, Hermione quickly covered herself and started buttoning up her shirt, stumbling and missing a few buttons in her hurry.
"You can let the little angry knight in jester," Fred winked at Hermione as he reached up to smooth down his own mussed-up hair.
The door swung open letting in a very red-faced Harry Potter. His eyes glared at them both as he looked around the room, especially when they landed on the sofa, which they were standing by. "Well, I can see now why your dots on the map were basically stuck together." His words came out harsh and shrill. Looking at Hermione his frown increased, "You missed some buttons on your shirt."
His words made Hermione's face light up red as she ducked her head down and furiously started unbuttoning and doing her shirt correctly this time. Harry decently turned his head as she did so.
Fred's stomach was turning at being caught and being disciplined by Harry. Who did the skinny little git think he was to come bursting into here and shaming them? "Harry, you're not our mum, so what's your problem?"
"My problem is you and Hermione. Why are you two together? What about Ron?"
"What about Ron? Just because he's too stupid to see what a beautiful lady his best friend is, doesn't mean I haven't noticed." Fred was trying to remain calm, but his temper was starting to show. "Further more, this is none of your business."
Hermione stepped between the two boys as they shouted at each other. This was not going to end pretty if they kept yelling at each other. "Both of you need to calm down so we can talk." Fred and Harry kept sizing each other up, "Now!"
Hermione grabbed Fred's hand and led him to the sofa, while Harry found a chair and pulled it over to sit next to them. "Harry, I appreciate you caring about me, but I agree with Fred, this is none of your business."
"I thought you were mad at them about what happened the other day. You were ready to go and hex their bollocks off."
Fred looked over at Hermione with wide eyes, and Hermione started to laugh. "I was angry. I wasn't going to follow through with bodily harm. Anyhow, we talked while still back at Grimmauld Place and worked through things."
Harry looked at them both suspiciously, "You talked eh? I'm sure that's what you did."
Fred rubbed his chin, "Actual Harry, that's what we did, we didn't snog until we were on the train." Hermione reached over and slapped him on the arm.
"I knew there had to be more to your story. You came stumbling back into our compartment saying that you'd been throwing up."
Fred eyes flickered with amazement at Hermione, "Not a bad story; vomiting huh?"
"I was caught by surprise and I usually have a hard time coming up with lies…most of the time." Harry sat looking stumped, watching the two chitchat.
"When were you going to tell me and Ron?" Harry still had a hint of anger running through him but had calmed down considerably.
"Soon, Harry. I was waiting for a chance to talk to the both of you. It's not like this has been going on for weeks. It's only been a few days." Fred sat by cautiously listening and waiting in case Harry got out of hand again. Yes, Hermione and Harry were best friends, but that didn't give him the right to talk to her that way. If he needed to protect her in any way, he would. No one would make her feel bad and get away with it; he now was included in that mix. She'd already put up with enough being treated poorly today, and he felt great guilt over it. He promised himself that he wasn't going to do that again and now would be a good start.
Fred stood up, "Ok, now you know, but it's getting late and we all should be getting back to the tower." He helped Hermione up from the sofa, his hand holding hers tightly, not letting go. "But, if you ever use the map again to spy on us, I'm taking it back."
"It's my map. My dad made it." Harry said sounding like a child.
"But, George and I were the owners when we let you borrow it. We didn't give it to you to spy on us." His intense stare made Harry back down.
"Follow me," Fred said as he led everyone out of the twin's secret location. "I have a faster way to get us back to Gryffindor Tower, but neither one of you can tell anyone else. We can't have everyone using our secret way to run away from Professor Snape, Peeves or Filch.
Fred, Hermione, and Harry walked into the Gryffindor Common Room. Ron was sitting on the couch staring into the fire. "Where have you been? It's really late."
Fred looked at Hermione liked he wanted to kiss her goodnight but was glad when he just waved at them and said goodnight. He ran up the stairs to his dorm room. Harry and Hermione looked at each other trying how to decide to start the conversation with Ron.
"Let's go over in the corner so we can talk." Hermione motioned with her hand.
"Talk about what?" Ron looked between his two best friends. Harry sat down with slumped shoulders looking down at the floor.
"There's something I need to tell you, Ron." Hermione paused, as she looked Ron in the eyes, "You see…something happened…with…um…and I didn't want to upset you…"
Harry snorted, "Oh, for Merlin's sake, just spit it out, Hermione."
Ron looked quite baffled as he looked at Harry and then Hermione with his mouth wide open, "So?"
Hermione took a deep breath, "Fred and I started dating and I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings." The words were said so fast even Hermione wasn't sure what she had said.
"What?" Ron looked very frustrated, "Harry, what in the bloody hell did she just say?"
Harry gave a low growl and jumped up, "This is not my problem, so I'm going to bed. You're on your own Hermione."
"Thanks a lot, Harry," she muttered under her breath. Then looking back at Ron she gave him a half-smile. "It's about Fred…and me."
Ron's blue eyes bore into her as she could see his mind running a million miles a minute. "Is that why you came in with him?"
"Yes. Fred and I have decided to start dating." Hermione let out a huge breath as her stomach tensed up. Her relationship with Ron had always been rocky from first year until now. They were usually fighting about something, so Hermione knew what Ron's reaction was probably going to be.
Ron's brows snapped together as his mouth set in a hard line. His heavy breathing through his nose showed he was close to a meltdown. "How long has this been going on?"
"Ron honestly, it just started. Fred and I talked one night back at Grimmauld Place and then things escalated from there." Ron still stood silently with a frown on his face. "We're not doing it to hurt you. Please don't take this personally, but truly it doesn't have anything to do with you."
"Well, it feels like it does. I always thought maybe, that you and me…"
"I really love you as a friend Ron, but I feel differently about Fred. Please try to understand." Her heart really was heavy as she saw the hurt look on his face. She could feel the tears start pooling in her eyes.
"Did it have to be my brother?"
"I didn't plan on starting anything with anyone, especially not your brother. But, it just happened, and I really want to see where this can go." She didn't want to plead to him to accept her new relationship with his older brother, but she'd do it to salvage her friendship with Ron.
Ron gave a big sigh and reached out pulling Hermione to him. "I won't give you a hard time. It might take awhile, but I do love both of you."
"Thank you, Ron." The relief came out in the form of tears as he held her.
"I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow Hermione." Ron left, heading towards his dorm leaving her by herself. She stood there lost in her thoughts until an arm snaked around her waist.
"It took you long enough," Fred said as he leaned his head onto her shoulder. "I'm proud of you love. I know that wasn't easy, but I'm glad that it was you telling my prat of a brother about us."
Hermione turned around in his arms where she was able to look up into his eyes, "I meant what I said, Mr. Ease Dropper."
"Then I'm a very lucky man," His fingers slipped into her hair as he leaned down to share a tender kiss with her. Joy danced through her heart. One Weasley down, and many more to tell about their new relationship status, but that would have to wait until tomorrow.
So, did Ron handle their budding relationship like you thought he would? Is there something that you think he would have done instead? I have loved the feedback and support you've been giving me with this story. It has been amazing! Thanks so much! As always, any reviews or comments
