Best Friends Brother (Hermione x Fred)

Chapter Seven:

The day came to an end, everyone on the brink of a food coma or as drunk as a sailor at sea. Hermione and Fred had joined everyone else later on, George almost immediately noticing Fred's new necklace but Fred of course just started being an asshole and not telling him anything. Everyone came inside, the adults all sat in the living room whilst the "children" went upstairs.

Everyone gathered in Ginny's room as she closed the door excitedly, Ginny told everyone to close their eyes and when they opened it there was a bottle in the middle of the circle.

"Gin I love you but there's no way we're playing spin the bottle, I'm related to half of you" George sat back and looked at his sister concerned,

"We're not playing spin the bottle you idiot!Hermione why don't you tell them what it is?"

"Ginny how did you even get this?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Ginny" Harry raised his eyebrows at Ginny and she shrugged, zipping her lips and moving the bottle towards him, "go on have a sniff"

"Why?" Harry opened the bottle slowly, "is this going to kill me Ginny?"

"Emotionally maybe"

"Harry, it's amortentia"

"WAIT WHAT?!" Ron started panicking, "there is no way I am smelling that, isn't that stuff crazy accurate and also drives people insane if they can't work out the smell?"

"Only one way to find out" Hermione smiled, she took the bottle off of Harry and sniffed it, letting the pink aroma fill her senses before opening her eyes. She smelt freshly cut grass, ash, and a certain specific red heads cologne. "Interesting"

"What did you smell Mione?" George had an eyebrow raised at Fred who stared at him annoyed, but also curious as to what Hermione had smelt.

"Exactly what I thought I'd smell" she smiled, Fred had to take that as a good thing, if he didn't he might cry.

"Alright, I'm not dead, your turn Harry" Hermione handed the bottle over and Harry took a sniff, he closed the lid and stared at the floor like he'd just seen a ghost.

"Potter? You good mate?" George waved his hand in front of Harry's eyes, who just looked up and without blinding said,

"I need to do some deep thinking"

"Don't hurt yourself" Ginny smiled, Harry gave a light laugh but didn't make eye contact with her. Everyone looked at each other confused and Ginny shrugged, sure she liked Harry but if he didn't like her back, then it simply wasn't meant to be.

"Alright guess it's my turn" George took a sniff and stared at the bottle confused, giving it a swirl before looking up at Fred, "feel like I've met them before but can't pin point who it is"

"That's frustrating" Fred simply said back, taking the bottle knowing it was his turn, "guess we're all going to learn something" Fred smiled as he smelt the scent of parchment, ash and the scent of Zonko's.

"What I expected, Ginny your turn" Fred smiled and handed the bottle to his sister, Ginny took the bottle and flicked her hair back dramatically before taking a sniff of the bottle,

"Oh? That's...not what I thought?" Ginny stared at the bottle for a moment and thought about if she had gotten the person right, "I'm going to go talk to Harry, your turn Ronald"

"Yeah I'm going to pass on that, the last thing I need is thinking I'm in love with one of my friends"

Ginny, Fred and Hermione all looked away slightly guilty while George gave a small laugh, "fair enough but just know I will be calling you a coward until you do it"
