I am SOOO sorry for the terribly long wait! I understand if some of you readers have given up on this story and I am appalled that I haven't updated in nearly a month. I have just been incredibly busy and I stupidly started a new fic when I hadn't even finished this one! Damn me and my over creative brain…

I hope this has been worth the ridiculous wait :)

Here it is…

Chapter 16 of 16 People in House and I'm with Hermione by SophieeWeasleyy

"She was so cute and sweet! So small and… WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING HERE!"

Mrs. Weasley stopped dead when she saw the sight in her kitchen. Her 4th oldest son was currently snogging her youngest son's best friend. In her kitchen, no less. The crowd of people who had been trailing behind her also came to an abrupt stop when they saw what was going on.

Everyone was stood in shock and Fred quickly pulled away from Hermione when he heard his mothers screech.

Obviously in all of the commotion of the last few seconds, Fred had forgotten where his hand was. He soon realised his hand was still under Hermione's shirt and he let out a quick "shit" as he tried to remove it.

What he also didn't notice was that when he pulled his hand away, the back of Hermione's bra would go with it.

As quick as he could Fred pulled his hand out from under her top and a loud 'SNAP' was heard in the silent kitchen. Hermione let out a small yelp as her bra pinged against her skin.

For anybody who hadn't just watched that seen the 'SNAP' could have easily been mistaken as the sound of Molly Weasley's control breaking clean in two.

"FREDERICK GIDEON WEASLEY! WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU DOING IN MY KITCHEN!"

Fred had turned such a deep red it almost looked purple. He had jumped about 3 metres away from the equally red Hermione when he heard the bra ping. There was no way on earth his mum wouldn't go ballistic at that noise.

"I…umm… think it was pretty obvious what he was doing mum." came the voice of Charlie from behind.

A few muffled giggles came from the group; others were glaring so hard it looked painful.

"OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING CHARLES; THE BRA PING MADE IT INCREDIBLY CLEAR, THANKYOU VERY MUCH! I WAS JUST GIVING HIM A CHANCE TO SEE IF HE COULD GET HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ONE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU CAN FREDERICK. EXPLAIN YOURSELVES NOW."

Charlie's smirk was instantly wiped from his face when his mother turned on him. The groups giggles had also faded away and were replaced by frightened gasps.

No one had ever seen molly Weasley this angry before. Not even when Fred and George turned her hair green for a month or when Charlie broke Bill's nose in an 'accidental punch to the face.' She looked ready to burst and slowly she turned the same colour as Fred and Hermione, only not out of embarrassment.

"WELL?"

Fred visibly shrunk and Hermione cowered behind the table.

"We…we…were just kissing." Fred mumbled almost inaudibly.

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT WAS NOT JUST WHAT YOU WHERE DOING. WHAT ON EARTH POSSESSED YOU TO SNOG ON MY KITCHEN TABLE?" Her previous screaming had subdued into a powerful hiss that made the entire family cringe inwardly.

"Mrs. Weasley… It wasn't like we were going to go any further or anything. We just got caught in the moment I suppose…" Hermione's small voice trembled with shame.

The Weasley's had been family to her for years; she had been respected by them. Now every single shred of respect had been ripped to pieces all because of a steamy kiss.

Mrs. Weasley seemed to soften slightly at Hermione's watery eyes but she was still furious that they would do something like that.

"If you don't mind me asking, what was this moment you were caught in exactly?" her hisses had become a curious, normal volume voice and her calm was returning slowly after the giant outburst.

"Well, Hermione's my girlfriend now. I asked her just before…you know."

Mrs. Weasley softened completely when she finally understood what she had walked in on. It had been obvious that they liked each other for a while and she was glad Fred had done something about it. Although he had a 'reputation' as being a ladies man, he had never really had proper girlfriend- just flings. It was nice to see him take some responsibility for once.

All the anger she had been feeling was washed away as she realised how happy this would make both of them. Although, guilt soon flooded in after she realised how badly she over reacted.

Molly was snapped out of her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder. She turned to find Arthur smiling encouragingly down at her. She smiled to and went back to face Fred and Hermione, who still looked confused and even terrified of her reactions.

"Oh Fred, Mione I am so sorry for what I just said. I should have talked to you rationally before jumping to conclusions like that. Of course you wouldn't do anything reckless. I suppose I should say sorry and congratulations, you make a lovely couple."

Fred sighed and it seemed that the entire family did too. No one every really understood molly's outbursts but they all thanked Merlin when they finished.

She walked over to Fred and Hermione and engulfed them in a hug. Hermione smiled and Fred grimaced slightly at his mothers over affection, this caused Hermione to laugh slightly. The previous anger and tension had left the room and a slightly awkward one was left when the three stopped hugging.

Fred grasped Hermione's hand and they turned to face the family, waiting for the judgment to begin…again.

'I just pray none of them are as angry as molly was, I do not need another outburst.'

The silence was broken by Charlie stepping forward to the couple. The whole room watched anxiously as if waiting for Charlie's shouts to start. Instead they were greeted with Charlie's laughter and a big thumb on the back of Fred's back.

"Never thought you'd catch someone this good Fred. Congrats."

The whole family started to chuckle and in turn they all said their congratulations to the couple. Fred and Hermione smiled the whole time before Mrs. Weasley cleared her throat.

"Fred, even though I know nothing was going on earlier we are still having The Talk later, understood?"

Fred groaned and his cheeks flushed a slight pink before George interupted with a loud shout of "SUCKER!"

Mrs. Weasley turned to a smirking George and put on her own smirk before replying-

"George, you and Fred are the same age. It's time for The Talk too mister."

Fred and George's groans could be heard over the hearty laughter coming from the other Weasleys.

'Who would have thought Hermione granger would fall in love with Fred Weasley, eh?'

'And who would have thought Fred Weasley would fall in love with Hermione granger too?'

Definitely not Mrs. Weasley, that's for sure.

There you go! I really hope you enjoyed this story and I would like to say the world's BIGGEST thankyou to every single person who reviewed or added this story to their favourites etc. I wouldn't have done it without you all, so thankyou.

Please review and let me know if you liked the ending to this story. I would just like to say that I am sorry if you wanted Ron's opinion in this but I really hate writing him and it just sounds so wrong so I had to settle with an angry Mrs. Weasley instead. I hope that didn't ruin it for you.

I was thinking about making a small one chapter sequel to this but I'm not sure yet so let me know what you think about it.

And as a final authors note, I would just like to say that if you enjoyed this story you might be interested in my other Fred/Hermione fanfic called 'Fred Weasley in the World of Muggles'. It isn't finished yet, but your reviews are always welcome!

Thanks again, SophieeWeasleyy :)
