Hermione's Twin

Summer Time Is A Long Wait

I woke up early and decided to go for a bike ride. Ginny let me borrow her bike. Oddly it was yellow and matched my outfit. I walked downstairs where most of the family was gathered at the table.
"I'm glad you could join us." Molly said.
"Actually I'm not that hungry. I decided to go for a bike ride. Ginny lent me her's." I said.
"Are you sure?" Molly asked.
"Absolutely, I hope no one minds." I said and no one objected.
"May I join you?" Fred asked.
"Fred, you barely use your bike." Molly said.
"Don't worry Molly, I'll teach him." I said and Fred smiled clearing his plate. Hermione winked at me and I winked back.
"Let's go." Fred said and we walked out. My birthday was in three weeks and I'm so excited. I'm going to be fourteen years old which means I get to go to the Yule Ball. We hoped on our bikes and started to ride next to each other.
"When's your birthday?" I asked.
"April first, when is your's?" He asked. "September 19th, favorite color?" I asked.
"Red, and your favorite?" He returned.
"Orange." I said.
"Why orange?" He asked.
"Because it's the color of your hair." I said smiling and he smiled back.
"Who is your role model?" He asked.
"Audrey Hepburn, she inspires me to be myself." I said and he smiled.
"Your as pretty as her to." He said and I blushed. We rolled up to a vintage milkshake shop and decided to go in.
"What's your favorite flavor?" He asked.
"Strawberry, I'll go find a seat." I said and he nodded. I found a table by the window with seats for the both of us. I sat down. Soon enough he came over with one milkshake and two straws.
"Do you mind sharing or is there a problem with it?" He asked kindly.
"I don't mind one single bit." I said and he put the straws in and reached for my hand across the table. I put my hand in his and he smiled.
"Will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" He asked.
"I will, but are we telling everyone or keeping it a secret?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know what my mum would think considering the age difference." He said.
"I will allow you to tell Georgie." I said.
"Then you can tell Hermione." He said making me smile. We drank all of the milkshake and stood outside for a minute. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed back with the same amount of passion.
"What's next in our adventure?" I asked.
"There is a pond behind the burrow. I was thinking that maybe after lunch we could go swimming." He said making me smile.
"I love to swim. Let's go." I said and we hopped on our bikes.
"Why did you fall for me?" He asked.
"Because your cute, humorous, and clever. There is so much more to say, but I don't want to keep listing. Besides we are already here." I said.
"True, can I show you something cool?" He asked and I nodded. We set our bikes down on the driveway and he pulled me towards the forest. Before we could go in it someone stopped us.
"Fred, mum says that you need to come inside now." We turned to find Percy. He glared at Fred for some reason and I wanted to know why. I glared a little and walked down towards the burrow.
"Beatrice!" He called.
"We can talk after lunch Fred!" I called walking inside. I pulled Hermione upstairs with me and shut the room door so we could speak alone.
"What's wrong?" She asked and I smiled.
"Nothing at all. I'm dating Fred and that's all that matters." I said and she smiled. "You can't tell anyone nor mum and dad." I said.
"I won't tell anyone. A secret is a secret." She said and I hugged her.
"Thank you." I cried into her shoulder. "For what?" She asked.
"For being my sister." I said pulling away. She then engulfed me in a hug. At that made us feel even closer to each other than we already were.
