Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

Since I was feeling very inspired I wrote out two chapters for you all to enjoy. Please read and review and let me know what you think so far and any suggestions for the future. I look forward to hearing from you guys. Without further ado.....


Hermione could feel everyone’s eyes on her later that evening when she was sitting in the Gryffindor common room. They all thought that she liked Ron, and she worried if George would hear about the incident.

George kept looking at Hermione and saw her fidgeting in her seat. He wanted to go over and take her in his arms, but he did not want to draw more attention to the situation. He had been secretly flattered to learn that Hermione had lost a few house points because she had been daydreaming in class about him. He had spent many hours fantasizing about her.

Hermione felt an extended gaze upon her and looked across the room to see George looking very intently at her. She smiled at him, and he grinned back at her. He made a gesture to the portrait hole and she silently nodded.

There was one other person that noticed this exchange. Fred Weasley had noticed that his brother was keeping something from him lately. He had been spending a lot of time “researching” in the library and had disappeared several evenings. He had followed his brother’s gaze this evening to the petite brunette and smirked at what he had discovered. It would be quite shocking to everyone if George dated Hermione. Everyone expected her and Ron to end up together.

Fred decided that he was going to teach his brother a lesson about keeping things from him. Usually his twin told him everything that was going on. So he decided that he would make his brother crack and tell him everything.

Fred abruptly got up and went over to Hermione. He started trying to be charming and was obviously telling Hermione something funny because he saw her throw her head back and laugh. George was getting jealous; he didn’t want anyone else making Hermione laugh. Maybe his brother had realized what a gem she really was.

George made his way over to Hermione and walked up on the tail end of a joke that Fred was telling her. Hermione was laughing and she looked beautiful. George asked, “Hey Fred, what’s going on?”

Fred smiled mischievously and replied, “I’m just over here getting to know the most beautiful girl in Gryffindor better.”

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, “I am not the most beautiful girl in Gryffindor, surely you have me mistaken for someone else.”
Fred looked back at her seriously and said, “I am being serious Hermione, you are truly sexy and any man that didn’t notice that is stupid. I was wondering if you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me sometime.”

George was ready to explode by this point, and hastily replied, “No she would not like to go with you. You can’t date her.”

Fred looked taken aback and replied, “Why not,” and Hermione added, “Yes, George, why can’t I date Fred?”

George answered, “Because I’m dating Mione, and I you can’t go out with her.”

Fred replied, “I knew something was going on. I just wanted to find out how far along you were with the situation, although I do think you are completely sexy Hermione.”

Fred chuckled and walked off. He was glad to see that his brother found a quality girl. He figured that George was afraid of how everyone would react to the situation and therefore didn’t say anything to anyone. If George wanted to keep it a secret, then Fred wasn’t going to tell anyone.

George had calmed down and was shaking his head at his brother. He should have known that Fred was up to something. He knew that he should have told him about Hermione. George was also slightly relieved; this meant that he didn’t have to lie to Fred, and he could also have Fred cover for him when he needed to sneak off to spend time with Hermione.

Hermione was glad to see that George did have real feelings for her. She had never had anyone get jealous over the thought of someone else liking her. She was also relieved that it wasn’t just her heart in this. George seemed to really want to take this to a relationship and was not just toying with her.

Hermione said, “George would you like to go for that walk now? I would really like to get some air with you.”

George replied, “Of course.”

Hermione left first telling her friends that she was going to research something in the library and then George slipped out about five minutes after she had left. The two of them met in front of the library.

George took her hand in his and they walked outside. They walked around the black lake. They sat down by a tree and George said, “Hermione you are really lovely out here in the moonlight.”

Hermione blushed and replied, “Thanks. You look really handsome too. I can’t wait until we go on our date this weekend.”

George answered, “I have everything planned out. It’s good that Fred knows, because he can cover for me. I am really looking forward to spending some more time with you.”

Hermione said, “George, I got in trouble today in class because I was thinking about you. I just wanted to make sure you knew that it was definitely about you and not Ron.”

George chuckled and said, “Of course I knew it was about me. I spent a lot of time thinking about you too. Fortunately I did not get caught though. I guess my professors are used to me goofing off in class and not paying attention.”

Hermione felt a tingle go through her body at him mentioning that he thought about her. She wondered if he imagined doing things to her like she had been thinking about. She decided to ask, “George, can I ask you something?”

George replied, “Of course, Mione.”

Hermione asked, “George, will you tell me what you were thinking about today, when you were thinking about me?”

Hermione blushed when she asked that. George could tell that she was nervous to ask the question, but he could also see that her breath had quickened and that she seemed to be reacting to him, just by him sitting next to her and holding her hand.

George thought carefully, and then made a decision. He replied, “I was thinking about this…”

At these words he dropped Hermione’s hand, and brought it to her face. He gently pulled her face toward him and covered his lips with hers. She gradually opened her mouth to the kiss and he gently put his tongue in her mouth and claimed her mouth for his own.

He put his other hand behind her head and gently pulled her hair as their tongues battled for dominance. If this was her first kiss Hermione was a natural, and George could have spent the rest of his life kissing her. Unfortunately his body was starting to react to the snogging session that they were having and he was getting visibly hard.

George pulled away from the kiss and said, “That is what I was imagining all day, and I have to tell you, that kiss was a million times better than I ever imagined because it was you.”

Hermione was panting and her body was on fire; just from kissing George. She felt like that moment was one of the best in her life, and it was better than she ever imagined. George was sweet and she was happy to hear those words from him. She was so glad that she ran into him in the library. She could not wait for their date that weekend.
