Chapter 4

My mind has been racing since my latest encounter with Fred, what had he done? This had to be the effect of a potion of some sort. There was no way I had feelings for that boy! Even if I did, wouldn't I have felt them before now? I just need to clear my mind.

So that's what I did. I cleared my mind, I went and got some new clothes (clothes for work of course) and stayed in for the rest of the night. My mind had pushed the thoughts of Fred that I was having to the back of my head, well for a while at least. "Crookshanks what are you doing on the counter, get off!" I shouted as I walked towards the fridge to get some butterbeer.

"Ya know, you really should let me take you to the Three Broomsticks for some Butterbeer."

"Merlin's beard, Fred! You nearly gave me a heart attack, how did you even get in here?" I nearly fell onto the floor due to the shock from my unpleasant surprise. Just as I was settling down he had to come ruin it.

"I couldn't help but imagine how much of a boring night you were having without me so I figured I'd pop by your flat and the door just happened to be unlocked." He gave me a lopsided grin then grabbed the drink from my hand and set it on the table. "You're coming with me Granger, it's time you finally had some fun!" he then took a step back and raised an eyebrow at me,

"Well you definitely aren't going out in, that!" he sighed and took my hand then led me to the door. I never once hesitated with anything or even scolded him for entering my flat without permission. Why? I couldn't manage to get a single word out. The bloody git had me tongue tied, all because of the stupid grin. After standing in silence for a solid minute I finally managed to ask a simple question, "where are you taking me?".

"To the Burrow, of course! You can borrow some of Ginny's clothes for the night. You two are about the same size, correct?" he stood back and examined me as I turned bright red. I looked down and realized I had a shirt with mysterious stains on it and a large pair of sweatpants. This was supposed to be my night! I quickly smacked his arm and continued walking with my arms crossed.

"Come on, 'Mione. It'll be fun! You, Me, George and Angelina!"

"Fred, you're making this sound an awful lot like a date."

"Who said it isn't?" he spoke without hesitation and continued taking long strides along the pavement. Meanwhile I completely froze trying to regain my thoughts. A date? Fred Weasley is taking me on a date? Ha! He has to be pulling a prank of some sort. Maybe if I go along with it he'll see its useless and let me go back to my alone time. "Lousy way to ask a girl out, isn't it?" I spoke with confidence from my new plan.

"I don't like to ask, I just like to do." He winked at me and we walked in silence the rest of the way to the burrow.

"I cannot go in there looking like this! What if Ron's in there? Give me your coat." I demanded and held out a hand expecting him to give me his coat. Instead, he grabbed my hand and practically drug me through the door.

"GINNY!" Fred shouted as loud as humanly possible.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FRED?" Ginny shouted back just as loud.

"HERMIONE IS HERE AND NEEDS YOUR HELP, DESPERATELY." Fred smiled and looked at me as I shot him a terrifying glare. Moments later Ginny was running down the stairs and wrapped her arms around me tightly. "What do you need?" she said eagerly then her eyes went from me to Fred then to our hands. How could I have forgotten he was still holding my hand! Explaining this was going to be rough.

"Mione needs an outfit for our date tonight." Fred smiled proudly at Ginny and winked at me as my face turned bright red. "Oh. My. Gosh." She shrieked and jumped up and down with delight. "You and Fred? I've got to say, I never would have even thought of you two together! Well don't just stand there! Come on lets get you ready!" she grabbed my hand and started sprinting up the stairs. As we left the room I could hear Fred laughter grow louder.
