Rowan's POV

FRED and I spend the rest of the day making out on his bed. It seems his family has the good sense to say away from the room because no one comes to bother us. Thank Merlin. 

By the time the sun sets I finally untangle myself from my boyfriend. Boyfriend. I love using that word in reference to Fred. It has a nice ring to it, even better than when the word fake was placed in front of it. 

He lets out a groan as I climb off him, scooting off the bed. "Don't leave." he whines.

I roll my eyes at him. "We can finish this later." I smirk at him. "But for now, I need to at least make an appearance in front of someone so people don't think you're holding me here against my free will."

That sexy smirk spreads across his face as his eyes rake over my body and I know he's mentally undressing me. "I bet you wish I had you tied up, keeping you here."

My breath catches in my throat. "I should be leaving now." I breathe. "I need to get ready for bed but I'll be back once everyone's gone to sleep."

"Good. I'll get my tie ready!" He shouts after me as I leave his room, closing the door behind me. 

As I walk to the bathroom, the idea of Fred dominating me threatens to turn my body molten.

ONCE I finish brushing my teeth, I head over to my room to grab my pajamas and maybe one of my nice sets of bra and underwear. But when I push open the door, I'm not greeted by the sleeping forms of Ginny and Hermione that I expected. Instead, I find Hermione very much awake, her and Ron in various stages of undress as they makeout, him on top of her, pinning her down into the mattress. 

Merlin, the Weasley men seem to have a thing for dominating, I think to myself before snapping out of my thoughts and letting out a discreet cough. 

They both perk up, Hermione pushing Ron off of her, and pulling the covers up to cover herself. "What? What's wrong?" Ron asks her before noticing me standing in the doorway. 

"Um..." I say, not able to find the words. If I had walked in on this a few weeks ago, I would have surely run out of the room crying, heartbroken that Ron was with someone else. But now all I feel is shock. 

"Rowan, we were going to tell you. But we just didn't know how or when." Hermione starts to ramble but I put a hand up to stop her. 

I close the door so nobody overhears or sees us. "How long has this been going on?" I ask, finding my voice as my eyes flick back and forth between her and Ron who's still standing awkwardly. 

"Well, it kind of started when Victor and I broke up. With the carrying my books to class for me." She says, glancing sheepishly over at Ron. "Ron put some clothes on!" She shouts at him. 

"Right." He mumbles, clearly in shock that I caught them as he searches the floor for his shirt and pants. I catch a glimpse of his arousal pressing against his boxers and quickly avert my gaze, instead raising my eyebrows at Hermione, urging her to go on.

She blushes, knowing what I just noticed. "Then one night we were studying in the library together for Potions and we kissed. Then it just kind of snowballed from there." 

I look at her in disbelief. "You two have been dating in secret, sneaking around for the past couple weeks?" 

Hermione nods her head in answer. 

"Why?"

"We didn't want to make things awkward in the friend group. Especially since you were already dating Fred, and we knew Harry fancied you. We didn't want to make him feel even lonelier." Ron shrugs. 

I whirl back around to face Hermione. "You knew about Harry's feelings?"

She gives me a measly smile. "Ron told me when we got together. And to be honest, now that I know I'm surprised I didn't figure out earlier."

"Well, now I know. And I think you guys should tell Harry too." I tell them. "Now, I'm just going to grab my things and then spend the night with Fred. So you guys can go back to whatever you were doing."

They both wait silently as I gather my things and start to head for the door. "And don't forget to lock the door this time." I tell them over my shoulder before leaving the room and heading back over to Fred's.
