Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 3 - 'HE KNEW EACH TEAR BEFORE IT CAME – HERMIONE AND GEORGE'
CHAPTER 3
"Maybe because Herms is in a very critical state?" George said as he looked at his brother. "Like we want her drunk when she's on the verge of crying." Hermione took a sip of her water and just looked at the two of them. "Come on. If Ginny was like this and Herms' age, would you give her a firewhiskey?"
"NO WAY MAN!" Fred yelled as he took a swig of his firewhiskey. "She's our sister. I wouldn't even give her a firewhiskey if she wasn't heartbroken!" Fred shook his head and sat down next to Hermione. "So...Everything's stocked downstairs and it's all locked up. Should we go home now or should we stay for a little bit?"
Hermione ran a hand through her hair as George and Fred kept conversing. She didn't say a word. She sighed here and there but besides that, nothing came out of her mouth. Her eyes kept looking around the room as she sat there. 'George is right. If I believe that they're alright then they will be alright,' Hermione thought. 'But what if something happens?' a stronger and louder voice in her head seemed to say. She shook her head and then tried to empty her mind but those words kept flowing through her mind. 'What if something happens?' she thought as Fred and George kept talking.
"HERMIONE!" Fred yelled. "Hello? Anyone home?" He waved a hand in front of her face and tried to bring her back to them.
"What?" she asked. "Sorry. I wasn't listening."
"Obviously," Fred said.
"Do you want to stay here for a little bit longer and maybe just walk around Diagon Alley or do you want to go back to the Burrow?" George asked.
"I don't care," she replied emotionlessly.
George shot Fred a worried glance and then looked back at Hermione. "We really can't decide. Why don't you tell us what you want to do?"
"I really don't care," Hermione replied sounding a bit agitated.
"Well...At least the emotion's back," Fred said with a laugh. "Why don't we all just go back the Burrow?" He looked over at Hermione expectantly but all she did was shrug. Fred's shoulders dropped as he looked over at George. George just sighed and stood up and then helped Hermione up. Then with three loud CRACKs, the three of them appeared in the Weasley's kitchen.
"Well...I expected you three to be home much later," Ginny said as she took out three more plates and started to set out more place settings. "Dinner is going to be in about an hour." Hermione nodded her head and left the room to go up to Percy's old room where she was staying. "Didn't help at all?" she asked.
"Not at all," Fred and George said in unison.
"I swore it would have," Ginny replied. "I don't get it. I'm not even as upset as her and it's my brother and ex-boyfriend who I know is going to ask me back out once this is all done."
"She's been through everything with them since their first year," Fred said.
"She helped Harry get to the Sorcerers Stone in their first year and if it wasn't for her, Harry and Ron wouldn't have known that the Basilisk was getting around through the pipes in their second year. If it wasn't for her and that Time-Turner thing they never would have been able to save Sirius and Buckbeak and if she hadn't helped Harry with a few things then Harry never would have won the Triwizard Tournament. She had helped him with keeping the prophecy away from Voldemort and she tried her best to help Harry last year with everything that was going on. I don't exactly expect her to be happy with Harry and Ron gone without her when she has helped them through everything over the years," George explained as he looked at his younger sister. "It's not that she just misses them, it's also the fact that she feels worthless because they didn't let her come."
"How do you know all this?" Fred asked.
"When you know everything that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had done over the years, you can just tell how she feels now. I mean how would you feel if you had helped your best friends out since you had met them and then when something huge happens, they don't let you come?" George asked them.
"That would suck," Fred said.
"I'd feel horrible," Ginny said with a hurt expression on her face. "I better go talk to her. You two finish setting up the table."
"Yes ma'am," Fred and George said sarcastically in unison as Ginny ran up the steps to Percy's room.
