Another Chance

Chapter 46

I woke up the next morning thinking I was still in my room at the apartment and then it all hit me. I sighed and got up. The house was quiet. I went downstairs to find Molly in the kitchen cooking. I smiled and asked,

"Do you need any help Mrs. Weasley?"

"Hermione, what did I say. Call me Molly or mum. You are part of this family and I would love the help."

I nodded and walked over to continue with the sausage and bacon. We heard footsteps coming down and I felt eyes on me. I turned to see Angela and George standing there. I saw Angela gave me a smile and I ran up to them. George took me into his arms and you could see that everyone was starring at us from the stairs.

"Can we talk?" George asked.

I nodded and then Molly spoke up and said,

"What ever you or Fred did you better make it up. I did not raise you to be rude men."

"Don't worry mum. It wasn't me who did it. The one that is in trouble is at home with his thoughts." George said.

He took my hand and led me to his room. We passed everyone, and you could see that Ginny wanted to follow but Angela stopped her and said,

"I'm sorry Ginny but this is between us and Hermione. WWW employee's only."

George closed the door as we entered the room. He looked around and smiled. You could see the thoughts going through his head. Angela gave me another hug and she then said,

"He's an idiot for betraying you like that. We love you so much and it may have only been a night since you left. It's not the same at the shop."

"Yeah, I left Fred in charge. This is the punishment for being a big dick." George said.

I couldn't help but laugh at that. He deserves it. Not it can just be him and that stupid girl in the shop. I looked at George and knew that he was hurt. I gave him a hug and whispered,

"I don't blame you. I'm just hurt."

He nodded, and I continue to say,

"You both know that I don't care about what stupid prat has to say about me. But when Fred did not stand up for me and then did not even stop me from leaving, that was what hurt me the most. I felt betrayed by him. I really thought.... Well, we are not going there. I love you both and that will not change anything. But can't stay there it's just doesn't feel right. I'm sorry."

"We understand. We just wish this holiday would have been different. We had so much planed for you to make it the best Christmas ever." Angela told me.

I nodded and we all went back downstairs. Everyone looked at us, but we did not say anything. I sat down next to Charlie and started a conversation with him. I could feel eyes on me, but I did not feel like looking up at them. Everyone was worried about me. I looked over to Angela and George, they gave me a smile and started to eat breakfast.
