Chapter five: A moment like this


Hermione sighed as she tapped her pencil against her table her eyes staring out the window. Some how her and George were both getting closer to each other everyday. When they weren't at her flat or his hanging out, they were on the phone with each other for hours on end. At first is was two people who just needed another's comfort, but it was growing to more. And Hermione was getting scared about that. She would have pulled away from him if it wasn't for the fact that Fred's wedding was coming up, and George was the best man. He had begged her to be there for him since Fred will be paying alot of attention to his bride. Hermione couldn't refuse him, so she agreed since she was also invited as well.



"Hermione I'm nervous." George whispered as she fixed his tie. Hermione smiled as she looked at his handsome features. He had slicked back most of his hair and the top poofed up slightly, and he wore a dark black suit with a dark blue tight and a white dress shirt. Hermione had matched his tie by wearing a dark blue dress that went to her knees and poofed out, her hair actually having beautiful curls that was pinned up with random curls falling around her face and neck. Her arms were covered by a matching elbow length gloves.



"Oh don't be nervous. If it wasn't the fact that I came with you in the same car I would have thought you were Fred." Hermione smiled as she looked up at George's eyes. He was alot taller than her but she almost matched his height because of the heels she was wearing.



"Its not the nervousness of the fact I have to give a speech at the end. Do you have the rings?" George asked since he had Hermione hold the rings.



"Yes I do, they are in my purse." She nodded as she turned to walk away but George grabbed her by the waist and made her look at him. "What? Is there something on my face?"



"No...I'm just admiring how beautiful you look today..." George smiled as Hermione looked up at him smiling.



"You look handsome yourself." Hermione blushed as she pulled away from him and got the rings from her purse and handed them to him. "Don't be nervous, I'm there so you don't have to worry about anything. Just look out of the crowd and Ill be there."



"I don't know what I would do without you Hermione. I really don't." George smiled as Fred came walking in.



"My dear wonderful twin. I request your precense with me because we are to go and walk down this wondrous aisle to meet my fate of becoming a happily married man." Fred sang as he smiled at both George and Hermione, and gave a shocked look on his face. "Is that a real smile Ms. Granger?"



"Yes it is the other wonderful twin, and I was the cause of this wonderful smile." George laughed, but Fred had taken it as though they were dating and sleeping together.



"Really now?" Fred smirked as he pulled his twin to him. "Do tell me all as we get ready for the big moment. See you at reception Hermione."



"Certainly." Hermione smiled as she left the room after the two had walked out. She instantly found Ginny in the rows and moved over and sat next to her. Ginny who was never seen happier than when she had been asked out by Harry three years before.



"You look beautiful Hermione! Oh my George must have had a bucket to catch all the drool." Ginny beamed as she looked Hermione over



"Thanks Ginny, and no he didn't need one." Hermione smiled as Ginny's face turned to shock.



"Omg that's a real smile!" Ginny squealed as Molly made her way over to the two and hugged both the girls. "Mum! Hermione is really smiling!"



"Oh that's wonderful dear. I knew you would be able to start smiling again if you had something good in your life." Molly smiled as she sat on the other side of Hermione. "And you have nothing to worry dear, that wretched woman isn't here, Fred made sure not to invite her. But Ron is here, but he is easily avoided."



Hermione found some relief in what she had said. At least she didn't have to see the woman who took Ron from her and her now very pregnant stomach. Soon the music cued and the groom and his groom's men came walking down the aisle. Hermione smiled as they took their place next to the priest. Soon the music cued again and everyone stood as Fred's bride Imogen McFarlend came down the aisle. Hermione looked over at George who winked at her since he saw the sad look in her eyes. This made her smile as she sat down and watched Fred's big day.



The reception party was right after the ceremony and George escorted her to the table where the bride and groom sat with their bridesmaid and grooms and George sat her right next to him where Ron was suppose to be but he refused to sit at the table since he was still angry that the slut couldnt come.



"Hermione the person I wanted to see!" Fred laughed as he lifted up his glass of wine to her. She could tell he was already starting to get drunk. "How...How is it you are the only oen who can catch the heart of my wonderful twin?"



Hermione looked at George who was blushing brightly trying to get Fred to shut up. She was shocked that George had fallen for her supposedly. Trying to surpress the fear of being hurt again and smiled as she took a sip of the wine that was set infront of her and spoke. "What can I say, I just have that effect."



This made George blush more as she looked over at him. Fred seemed satisfied about this and went on to talking to everyone who came up. The dinner was delicious and amazingly everything was cooked by Molly, and there was no better chef doe the job. Everyone was enjoying themselves, and Hermione found herself a couple of glasses of wine in and smiling and laughing with George and Fred (both noting that they missed making her laugh.) It wasnt until George made his speech that Hermione really realized what George was feeling for her since he incorporated her in his speech to Fred and Imogen.



"Care to dance with the ugliest mug in the place?" George smiled as Hermione took his hand.



"Of course I will dance with the sexiest man in the place." Hermione laughed as they walked onto the dance floor and started to slow dance.



"Guess the secrets out..." George muttered.



"What that you have feelings for me? I guess." Hermione blushed as she looked down.



"And I already know you can never feel the same for me..since you probably swore off men after Ron." George said in a defeated tone.



"I didnt swear off men. I just dont trust them anymore. I mean I gave everything to Ron, my heart and soul...my virginity...everything..I was ready to be with him forever...I just am scared that i will never be able to love someone fully and not scare them away with my constant suspicions" Hermione said softly wrapping her arms around his neck tighter.

"You dont trust me?"



"I trust you...its just I dont know if I should trust another man with my heart...thats what Im saying." Hermione sighed looking into his eyes.



"You never know unless you try. You will be surprised how many men arent like Ron. I mean I may be related to that blundering idiot but I would never do that to you. I would never do that to a woman." George said his arms tighten around her waist. "I know I probably cant convince you but I know that I can try..."



For that moment when Hermione looked into his eyes she felt like he was only looking at her and no one else. She knew he was going to kiss her and she started to panic alittle before she felt his lips gently on hers and everything faded. She knew she was opening herself up for another heartbreak but she wasnt going to let it happen this time. She was going to guard herself from George until she was sure he was there for good and not leave her for another.



Breaking from the kiss, George's lips still lingered over hers as he spoke softly, "Just one chance."



As she nodded she felt his lips on hers again and once more the whole world faded.
