The Other Granger- COMPLETED

Chapter 9

Author's Note: Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you know I'm switching POVs from time to time in this story!  For this chapter, we start off with Fred's POV.  Hope you enjoy it! 

Fred's POV: 

The night that Elaine and I decided to finally be with each other was my happiest night at Hogwarts so far.  We were in the common room until 4am. She actually fell asleep with her head on my lap around 3am, so I let her sleep while I finished up my paperwork.  Once I was done, I gently moved her head so I could easily pick her up and bring her to her dormitory.  I wrapped my arms underneath her as she nuzzled her head into my shoulder and neck.  Although I knew she was asleep, I could've sworn I felt her kiss my neck gently as I carried her upstairs.  Very careful not to wake her or any of the girls in her room up, I placed her on her bed.  "Goodnight love," I whispered, kissing her lightly on the forehead. "Fred?" a voice called out in the dark.  It was Hermione.  

Whoops...guess I should've been quieter.  "Yes?" I replied, hoping I had just imagined her calling my name.  "Why are you in here?" she asked.  I could hear her sitting up on her bed.  "Elaine fell asleep in the common room.  Just bringing her back up," I whispered back.  "Did you ask her yet?" Hermione asked me.  Due to the fact that Hermione was my brother's best friend, and the fact that she practically lives at my house now, she picked up on the fact that I liked Elaine.  She actually knew me quite well if I'm being honest.  "Yea...she said yes," I replied, smiling to myself.  "How wonderful!" Hermione squealed.  "Now go to your own room you'll wake her up!" Hermione added.  I bid her a goodnight, kissed Elaine on the cheek, and left their room.  When I went into my own, I knew George and my other roommate, Dean, were fast asleep, so I slipped into bed and passed out. 

Elaine's POV: 

I woke up the next morning wondering how I got back into my own bed after falling asleep downstairs.  Figuring it must've been Fred who carried me up here, I smiled to myself.  "Have a good night?" Hermione asked, scary the living daylights out of me.  She was sitting on her bed, already dressed for class, and staring at me with a huge smile on her face.  "I suppose," I replied, eyeing her suspiciously.  "Well Fred carried you up here last night so can I assume it was rather a great night?" Hermione giggled.  "I think it is safe to assume that...yes," I replied with a huge smile.  "Ron owes me 5 knuts (wizard money)," Hermione said with a smile.  "What!" I exclaimed.  "We all knew you guys were going to end up together...just didn't know when.  Seems like I know you two very well," Hermione said, standing up and swinging her bag around her shoulder.  "Now if you'll excuse me...I have class in twenty minutes.  I'll see you at lunch," Hermione said with a smile.  She left the room and I began to get ready for the day.  Luckily for me, I only have two classes on Tuesdays: Divination at 11am with Ron and Harry and Charms with Hermione at 2pm.  

Once I was all put together for the day, I met with Harry and Ron to go down to breakfast.  "Thanks a lot, Elaine, I owe Hermione 5 knuts now!" Ron exclaimed when he first saw me.  "Well if I knew you guys were betting on me maybe I would've chosen a better time," I replied sarcastically.  "Only joking," Ron said with a goofy laugh, placing his arm around me and giving my shoulder a squeeze.  

"So what's this Divination lesson going to be like?" I asked the boys as we ate breakfast.  "Well usually she picks one of us in the class and tells us we will die very soon," Harry said, sniggering.  "Reckon it'll be you since you're new," Harry added, causing Ron to laugh out loud.  "Wow thanks guys," I replied, laughing as well.  Halfway through breakfast, Fred and George joined us.  "Good morning love," Fred said, kissing me on the cheek.  "Good morning love," George imitated, kissing Harry's cheek.  "Haha," I replied sarcastically, though it was rather funny.  "You guys fancy a fly this evening?" Harry asked us all.  After everyone agreed, they all faced me to see what I would say.  "Fine!  But that in no way means I'm trying out for the Quidditch team," I replied, knowing that's why they wanted to fly tonight...to convince me of how I must tryout for the team.  "Of course of course," Harry replied, giving secret looks at the others.
