Mistake of the Century

A note to all Trial and Error readers: I will redo that story and finish it sometime soon! Keep checking the general M/F section after next month (since I haven\'t revealed if it will be Sevvie or Remie who gets Hermione...::grin::) If you read it now, keep in mind that chappie 13 will most likely be completlely redone and the site did something with the story, so there are several spelling errors and such that were not there when I first posted.

Hermione looked wide eyed at the boy lying peacfully next to her. She had touched him. He had touched her... her eyes wandered to where Ron was snoring in a cushioned chair. He was IN her! Well, his hand was, anyway... Hermione shook her head. What on earth had come over her? Over them? Why did they have such an interest in her all of a sudden? It\'s not like they hadn\'t had opportunities before. Ron had had a crush on her before, even though he didn\'t admit it. But tonight...tonight he had looked at her the way a man looks at a woman. He had brought himself to a climax just by having hi fingers in her. Harry had only touched her breasts! Without warning, an awful, dirty feeling came over the young witch. Her face contorted with several emotions and unanswered questions. \'Oh Merlin. I\'m a bloody whore!\' she thought nastily to herself. Unbidden, tears came to her eyes and silently trailed down her face to dampen the pillow her head was resting on. Too tired and upset to think anymore, she fell into a fitful sleep.


~*~*~*~*~

Harry woke up feeling a strange warmth against his side. Turning over, he saw a sleeping Hermione with dried tear trails on her cheeks. He assessed the situation quickly...he was lying next to her, his dick was pleasantly sore as if it had had a nice workout, she had been crying.....\"Oh shit!\"

Harry\'s voice brought Hermione and Ron to consciousness. \"Wha--what? \'Sit mornin\' already?\" Ron\'s voice was groggy.

Hermione eyes now open, stared at the ceiling, brow furrowed. Harry sucked in a breath, waiting for her to pounce on him like an angry cougar. Ron noticed this and then his eyes widened at last nights\' memory. \"Oy, that\'s why my hand hurts like hell!\" Harry flashed a dangerous look at his less-than-tactful friend. Hermione burst into tears and Ron\'s mouth gaped open in shock. \"What did I say? She wanted it as much as we did, right Harry? What is she crying for?\"
Hermione sat upright and shot daggers from her eyes at Ron. Her voice was a vicious growl. \"Get out! You fucking bastard!! Get out of here and leave me alone!!\" She grabbed her wand and aimed it at the stunned red head. \"Oy, \'Mione. I thought you liked-\" \"OUT!!!!\" Angry red sparks flew out of the witchs\' wand and Ron ran quickly out the door. Harry glared after him and then turned to Hermione, a sad, sweet look in his eyes. \"\'Mione, I\'m sorry about that. We should have--\" he stopped short as Hermione turned her wand on him, her eyes flashing dangerously. He took that as his cue and quickly stumbled out of the room.

Now alone, Hermione fell back on the bed, tears stinging her eyes. \'Why?\' she thought. \'Why did I do that? I\'m Hermione Granger; Head girl, school know-it-all, bookworm, plain jane Hermione. What made me do that last night?\' She thought back to the drink she had before bed. Well, that may have had something to do with it, but it was hardly half a glass. It normally took three glasses to get her smashed enough to even consider doing the things she --they-- did. Shaking her head, she began to calm down from her previous hysteria. \'It\'s not like they did anything against my will. Plus, both of them were acting weird. Maybe their hormones really were high and mine responded to them?\' She ultimately decided that she had taken the whole thing way too hard. It\'s not like either of them actually deflowered her her anything. She highly doubted Ron\'s fingers were long enough to do that. Tall as he was, his fingers were kinda stumpy... She blushed at the thought and shook her head again. Yeah. She definately was too harsh on herself and the boys. The majority of the girls in her year (and those in lower years) had been bedded by at least two boys at school and who knew how many during the hols. One little thing like last night wouldn\'t even turn heads at Hogwarts, and she doubted Dumbledore would even take away the promise of Head Girl if he knew. She blushed again. It would be better if no one knew about this.

~*~*~*~*~

Ron and Harry were in the other room, both perplexed as to why Hermione was acting the was she was. More so as to why they had been so...for lack of a better word, horny... last night. It\'s not like Hermione was that attractive or anything. Sure her eyes were a deep chocolate brown and she had a cute pixie face, but over all she was as plane as they come...plus some extra frizz in her hair. No. Definately not the type of woman most men wold lust after.

After a few minutes of trying to figure out how to patch things up with their bookworm friend, the objest of their discussion walked through the door. Hermione had deja vu at their faces looking up at her, silent. She smiled and without preamble hugged each in turn, apologising for her actions and threats. \"I was being too hard on you two. I mean, I could have said \'no\', right? But I didn\'t. I\'m not mad at either of you, I was just kind of... shocked. I mean, I\'ve never had anyone DO things like that to me.\" She blushed as the boys relaxed and smiled up at her, relieved that they were still friends.
\"By the way you guys, um...did you, uh...I mean, do you think your mum heard us, Ron?\" Hermione bit her lip in concern, desperately hoping Molly hadn\'t heard them. Ron smile wider. \"I cast a silencing charm on the room when we came in.\"
\"Oh, good.\" Hermione let out the breath she had been holding. She looked at Ron, then Harry. Both were grinning at her and she couldn\'t stand it anymore. She let out a rich, hearty laugh and was soon joined by the two boys.

~*~*~*~

The trio spent the hour before breakfast discussing the previous nights\' activities and agreeds that it really was only a one time thing. The boys lost that...whatever it was...and now saw Hermione as they had before: Their loyal, brave, smart friend. They all agreed to keep it secret, since it was highly unlikely to happen again, anyway. After a few jokes about the size of their \'wands\' and several laughs, they all made their way downstairs to the kitchen where Molly was preparing breakfast.

~*~*~*~

Still blushing from their conversation, they sat down at the table where Arthur was reading the Daily Prophet. He glanced up and said good morning to them all, but his eyes lingered on Hermione for a few moments before returning to his paper. Hermione felt her stomach quiver at the look in his eyes...it was familiar. VERY familiar. She glanced at Ron, then Harry. THey hadn\'t noticed anything unusual. She turned back and shrugged. Maybe it was just her imagination. There was no more time to think on it as Molly took that moment to bring the food over to the table. Well, she waved her wand and the food brought itself. Filling up their plates, the five witches and wizards started eating the rather large meal. Hermione felt a twinge of guilt at all of the food that was being served. She couldn\'t help but worry about them. They were rather poor, after all...

Hermione\'s thoughts were interupted by several \'crack\' noises breaking the air. She spun around in her chair and saw Charlie and Bill standing in front of a Double Mint Gum commercial. Her face broke into a grin as \"Hello\"s were giving all around the room. Molly ran over to her older sons and hugged them tightly. \"Oh, boys! I missed you so much! Well, not so much YOU two,\" she waved at the twins \"but Bill and Charlie! Oh!\" She squealed in joy and then gave the twins a playful wink, letting them know she was joking before gathering them in her arms as well. \"Ow, mum! That\'s my ear!\" Hermione, Harry and ROn started laughing at Fred\'s predicament. Or maybe it was George... When whoever it was got out of his mother\'s grasp, they both made to way to Harry, patting him on the back. They hadn\'t even glanced in Hermione\'s direction. But the other two had, and were still looking at her. She met their eyes and, biting her lip shyly, smiled at them, not knowing what else to do. \'What is going on? First Mr. Weasley, and now Bill and Charlie? I don\'t get it!\' Her thoughts were interupted as each boy....no wait, MAN--they were quite a bit older-- took a seat on either side of her (Charlie had to pull an extra chair up and squeaze it between Harry and Hermione). \"So, Hermione. How have you been?\" Charlies\' voice was low and velvety. \"I... uh, I\'ve been uh, good.\" The attention was making her nervous. \"Are you...with...anyone now, Hermione?\" Bills\' earing glittered in the morning sunlight as he turned to speak to her. She was getting increasingly nervous and glanced at Harry and Ron, but they were both busy talking about new Wizard Wheezes. She resigned herself to make small talk with the two men, blushing at how much attention they were giving her. She couldn\'t complain too much. They were both incredibly handsome. She giggled quietly without realising it. \"What\'s so amusing, hmmm?\" Charlied whispered into her ear. She shot straight up and excused herself before running up the stair as fast as she could go. Molly looked up from the twin\'s conversation with Ron and Harry (she had to make sure they didn\'t make anything TOO dangerous..) in time to see Hermione disappear.

Worried about the young woman, she followed Hermione\'s path and found her sitting on Ginny\'s bed, her lip caught between her teeth and her fingers idly playing with some stray strands of hair. Molly sat down next to Hermione and patted her thigh lightly. \"What\'s wrong, Hermione. You\'ve seem to have something on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?\" Before Hermione could answer, Molly conjured a teapot and two cups. \"Here you are dear,\" she said, pouring a cup and handing it to the younger witch. Mumbling thanks, Hermione sipped the piping hot liquid and scalded her tongue.
Molly didn\'t notice Hermione\'s discomfort, but looked at her expectantly. Hermione realised she wasn\'t going to get out of this one. Swallowing and trying to ignore the raw feeling of her tongue, Hermione spoke.. \"Um, I\'m actually fine, Mrs. Weasley... \" \"Molly, dear. Just call me Molly. You are like family to us. You know that!\" she grinned. Hermione nodded. \"Um, yes, Molly. I\'m quite alright, I just seem to be imagining things as of late.\" At Molly\'s look of curiosity, Hermione continued. \"Well, It started yesterday with Ron and Harry... you know, the way they looked at me and such.\" Molly nodded and smiled. \"Well, just now I noticed um, Bill and Charlie looking at me in a similiar way.\" \'And your husband, too, but I won\'t tell you that!\' Hermione looked shyly up at the older witch, waiting for the motherly wisdom and advice she knew would come. Molly didn\'t disapoint. \"Well dear, you have grown into a fine young witch. I\'m not surprised my sons, and Harry, have seem to have taken notice of you. But, if it bothers you, I can have a talk with them each and let them know tha-\" Hermione interupted her. \"No! No, that\'s okay. That would be more embarassing. It\'s fine, really. It\'s probably just my imagination. Please, uh, Molly. Don\'t worry about it.\" Hermione smiled at the woman and quickly finished her tea (her tongue was already burned, so what the hell).

Molly finally seemed convinced that Hermione was fine and went back downstairs to join the rest of the family.Hermione, however, sat on the bed, the empty teacup in her hand, and pictured the faces of Arthur, Bill, and Charlie, wondering why they had looked at her so strangely. Deciding to worry about it later, she made her way back downstairs and was relieved to find that Bill, Charlie, and the twins had gone to Diagon Alley to pick up some supplies for the big party they had planned for that night.

~*~*~*~

Hermione, Ron and Harry spent the rest of the morning playing wizards chess and exploding snap, and, when feeling brave enough, testing out some of the Twins\' concoctions. After Hermione started hiccoughing mercilessly and Harrys\' teeth turned black, they decided enough was enough and left the rest of the joke candies untouched.

Arthur had had to go to the Ministry for some work he hadn\'t finished. Before he left, he had winked at Hermione after glancing cautiously at Molly. It had made her insides twist around, but she hadn\'t mentioned it to either Harry or Ron. \'It\'s just my imagination, anyway. Really, Hermione, you can\'t possibly believe that for some reason, all of the men you know are all of a sudden lusting after you, can you? No. Of course not. It\'s foolishness and just plain conceited.\' Hermione was brought out of her reverie by Molly, who offered her a piece of freshly baked chocolate cake. Hermione\'s mind went blank as the rich, creamy taste of chocolate filled her mouth. Ron and Harry scarfed theirs down and got right back to their chess game, but Hermione savoured hers for nearly twenty minutes. She was oblivious to the \"crack\"s in the kitchen as the older brothers arrived and to the hunrgy looks they gave her as she licked her spoon clean with her wet, pink tongue.
