Accidents

Chapter One

* * *

"Come on! Are you just going to sit here resting on your laurels? Or are you at least going to try and get to know each other?" Fred asked bugging his twin brother. "This will be the perfect opportunity to get to know her!"

"Easy for you to say... at least Angelina wasn't tricked into admitting to you that she liked you. Both you and Ron had no right to trick Hermione into telling us that she liked me, let alone tricking me, your twin, to admit that I liked her back!" George grumbled ignoring his twin. "But I'll agree to go as long as you promise, on our twinship (A/N: Twinship is a special bond that twins have w/ one another.), that you and Angelina won't do anything to make it uncomfortable for Hermione and me. You or anyone else!" George amended seeing Fred's quick agreeability. After a few seconds of consideration Fred nodded his head once again and together they finalized the plans to go swimming in the underground grotto they had found in first year with the girls.

* * *

"Come on Hermione!" Angelina cajoled the younger girl. "You have to go! I promised Fred I'd get you to agree to come... and I can't be made into a liar. Please!"

Hermione just sighed and closed the book that she was reading, one that she had read plenty of times before, Hogwarts, a History, and looked up at the pleading eyes of the older girl before her.

"Alright!" Hermione agreed only to interrupt Angelina's shout of joy. "But only on one condition. That neither you nor Fred will push us into an awkward position! I want to take it slow, I mean. I'm only 15 years old."

"Great! Yes!" Angelina nodded her promise to the other girl. "Now, their taking us swimming so we'll need a swimsuit and a wrap and a warm pair of clothes, for afterwards, and a towel..." As Angelina went on about all they would need Hermione just zoned her out and thought about what she was getting herself into. "Hermione... Hermione... are you there?"

"Hmm... what?" Hermione asked again looking at the older girl.

"We have to get ready," Angelina explained to Hermione. "We're leaving in about an hour. Do you need any help?"

"No... I don't think so, just go pack and I'll do the same," Hermione answered standing up from the edge of her bed and strode over to the trunk at the end of her bed. "But when you're done could you come and check to see what I've picked... I mean to make sure that I've everything that I'll need."

"Sure," Angelina said smiling. "Is this your first double date?"

"My first date," Hermione replied blushing.

"Okay, I'll see you in twenty minutes. Oh and Hermione, call me Angie, I think with all Fred, Ron and I have put you through you deserve that much," Angelina said walking towards the dorm room door.

"Okay... but only if you call me Mione," Hermione said pulling open her trunk and already searching for her swimsuit, she didn't even see Angelina's nod of agreement.

* * *

Hermione had just finished laying out the last of the things to pack, when there was a knock on her dorm room door.

"Come on in Angie!" she called as she looked over everything that needed to fit into her school satchel, the only 'beach bag' that she had.

"Well, it looks like you didn't need my help after all." Angelina smiled as she came over to inspect the items strewn all over Hermione's bed. "Is this your swim suit?" as Hermione blushed and nodded, Angelina giggled. "George is going to go crazy when he sees you in this. Now... it looks like you have everything we're gonna need, so you go change into your swim suit and I'll pack everything into your satchel." Hermione went and did as she was told and returned to find Angelina adding a book to the top of the bag.

"Why are you adding my book?" Hermione asked pulling a t-shirt over her head.

"Because we can use it to get the guys' attention if they neglect us," was Angelina's quick response to the question. "Like if we get out of the water and the guys spend more than another twenty minutes in the water we pull them out and they are sure to notice and come over to find out if we're okay." As she explained Angelina looked over Hermione's outfit, which was a large baby blue t-shirt tucked into a pair of worn cut-off jean shorts and on her feet were a pair of FILA X-trainers. "Nice outfit... casual but at the same time sexy!" at this compliment Hermione blushed. Angelina was wearing a tight pale pink no sleeve shirt with a pair of jeans that had no knees and frayed cuffs, she was wearing a pair of well-worn FILA X-trainers too. "Well... you ready to face the music?" At Hermione's nod they both slung their satchels over their shoulders and calmly walked out of Hermione's dorm and down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room, where they were to meet the guys. As they reached the bottom of the stairs both Fred and George appeared out of nowhere.

"Ladies, you both look lovely!" Fred exclaimed as he kissed Angelina on the lips.

"You look great Hermione!" George agreed, placing a chaste kiss on Hermione's cheek. "You too Angelina." He added as an after thought. Both girls grinned shyly and took the offered hand by the guys. As Fred and Angelina lead the way across the common room the foursome where stopped by Ron, Harry and Lee Jordan.

"Hey!" Fred exclaimed as Lee held up a hand to stop the foursome from going around him.

"We're just here in the big brother capacity," Lee said looking at both Ron and Harry with a glint of laughter in his eyes. "Angelina is like a sister to me, young man, and if you bring her home one minute passed her curfew... well let's just say that it won't be pretty!" Lee continued on in a serious manner.

"Oh and George, Hermione had better have a blast of a time or you won't live to see tomorrow let alone your next date!" Ron said grinning evilly as his twin brothers squirmed under the steel-eyed gazes of the three 'big brothers'.

"And curfew for Hermione and Angelina is 11:00 p.m. not 11:00 a.m. like we heard you saying!" Harry said smirking as Fred looked nervously at Angelina.

"Now! Be good and don't do anything that I would do!" Lee laughed and stepped aside for the two couples to leave, which they did quite quickly, Hermione not looking up from her feet and Angelina blushing all the way.

"Fred Weasley! You promised that no one would try and embarrass Hermione and George!" Angelina exclaimed the moment the portrait of the pink lady had closed behind them.

"I... I... I had nothing to do with that! And neither did George!" Fred exclaimed in his defense.

"Well... I hope your telling the truth! Because if I find out that you did that on purpose, I believe that I would have to hurt you," Angelina replied tartly. "Are you okay Mione?" Hermione just nodded still looking at her feet.

"Listen, Mione we did promise that we wouldn't embarrass you, so if you don't want to go I think George would understand." Fred turned to look at the still blushing fifth year.

"I still want to go... that is if George does," Hermione said finally looking up.

"Yeah, I still want to go," George said smiling slightly at the girl he liked.

"Well, that decided so let's go then," Fred replied once again taking Angelina's hand and leading the way.

* * *

They walked for nearly half an hour before reaching what looked like a dead end corridor, down near the potions classroom, but it turned out to be the hidden entrance to a set of stairs.

"Abracadabra (A/N: I know very trite, but I couldn't think of anything better,)" Fred said tapping his wand on the way in three seemingly random places. When he finished the wall seemed to shimmer and then completely disappeared leaving the staircase bear. The four began making their way carefully down with only the light of their wands to see, as the wall had instantly reappeared when all had passed the entranceway. After another twenty minutes of walking when the passageway began to lighten up and the air began to feel moister.

"Almost there," Fred said happily. "Wait until you see this place it's absolutely gorgeous." With that said they descended the last of the stairs and Hermione and Angelina found themselves in a beautiful cavern, the ceiling was so high that you couldn't see exactly how high it really was and it didn't look like there was any end to either side, both the beach and the water seemed to go on forever. From the last step to the water was the kind of soft white sand you only really find in places like the Caribbean. The walls had natural ledges and Fred and George had filled every available space with pale pink and baby blue candles that gave off the scent of vanilla and there in the middle of the beach was a picnic already set up for them.

"Oh, Fred..." Angelina sighed. "It's so... so... perfect!" With that said she threw her arms around his neck and gave him a more intense kiss then from earlier.

"So? Do you like it?" George asked Hermione softly as he brought her hand to his mouth to place a soft kiss on her knuckles.

"It's just like Angelina said 'perfect'" Hermione answered looking into George's eyes.

"Come on let's go swim for a little and them we can eat," Fred said tugging Angelina after him. "The water must be fed by a hot spring and a spring because it's quite warm but there is no sulfur smell to it." As they reached the edge of the water the twins quickly pulled off their t-shirts and began to wade into the water while the girls pulled their towels from their bags before pulling off their clothes to follow. Angelina was wearing a white bikini with boy cut shorts while Hermione was in a black tankini with a high cut bottom. When the girls were up to their knees the twins finally turned to see what they were wearing and both Fred and George nearly sank into the water as they froze.

"Wow!" Fred exclaimed looking at his girlfriend with a new found appreciation.

George just gaped at Hermione, who in turn blushed and dove gracefully into the water hardly making a splash. As she surfaced just inches from George, he finally closed his mouth and smiled.

"Hi," Hermione said shyly.

"Hi," was George's immediate reply. With that the four got over there nervousness (in Hermione & Angelina's case) and shock (in Fred &George's case) and began to just have fun with races and splash wars.

* * *

Nearly an hour later the girls climbed out of the water and toweled off and placing the matching wraps securely around their waists. Not even five minutes later the guys followed them out of the water.

"So, who's ready to eat?" George asked smiling when he heard Fred's stomach grumble in answer to his question.

"Just give Hermione and I a couple of minutes to brush out her hair," Angelina said taking up the brush herself, not having to worry about her hair as it was already done up in braids. The twins just shrugged and moved to sit on the picnic blanket and watched as Angelina brushed out Hermione's hair, then begin to French braid it. This only took a few minutes and the girls were done before the guys could even question how much longer.

As the girls sat down on the blanket they were handed plates full of fruit and some small finger sandwiches along with small portions of potato and pasta salads. The next ten minutes were passed in silence as everyone ate their fill, with everyone going back for seconds along with thirds and fourths, in some cases (Fred and George).

"Mmm... that was good, thank you," Hermione said politely as George took her plate and placed it into the basket along with his own. Fred followed suit with his and Angelina's plates.

"Now do you ladies want to swim again? Or maybe just relax a little?" Fred asked keeping his eyes on Angelina.

"I would love to just go for a walk," Angelina said.

"I'd like to maybe just relax for a little," Hermione replied. So Angelina and Fred left to follow the water's edge and George and Hermione stretched out on the now cleared blanket.

"So, how did you like swimming in an underground lake?" George asked leaning on his side with his head propped up on his hand.

"It was nice, the water was perfect... not to hot but not to cold either," Hermione answered, she was leaning back on her elbows. "He has gorgeous eyes," Hermione thought to herself as she stared into his eyes.

"I love her mouth," George thought leaning a little bit forward. Hermione realizing what George was doing held her breath and waited patiently. She didn't have to wait long before her wish was granted, the kiss was only a soft brush of the lips really but it was kiss. "Was that okay?" George asked nervously. Hermione just smiled and leaned up and kissed him back as an answer. This kiss lasted a little longer and was a little harder but still was pretty innocent.

While this was going on Fred and Angelina were just out of sight of the blanket and were definitely kissing more passionately.

"Mmm... have I ever told you how wonderful you are?" Fred asked his beautiful girlfriend kissing both her eyelids.

"Yes, but why am I wonderful this time?" Angelina asked giggling as Fred kissed the tip of her nose.

"Your wonderful this time for helping me with getting George and Hermione together," Fred replied gently nibbling on her earlobes.

"Well, I'll admit that wasn't an entirely selfless act..." Angelina replied sighing as Fred traced his lips down her throat. "I figured if George had a girlfriend then maybe you wouldn't feel so guilty when we went out because you're leaving your twin out of something."

"So you picked up on that did you?" Fred asked as he kissed her lips in a series of gentle pecks.

"Yes! And I'll also admit that I kind of felt bad too. I mean you and him are a team," Angelina replied brushing aside a lock of hair off of his forehead.

"Well, if this works out maybe neither of us will have to feel bad about going out without him again." Fred finished the conversation by firmly kissing Angelina.

* * *

Almost an hour later, Fred looked at his watch. "Shoot! We have to be getting back. We'll have to leave in a couple of minutes."

"Hmm... do we have to?" Angelina murmured smiling softly as Fred brushed a soft kiss against her lips before helping her to her feet.

"Yes, unfortunately, we have to," groaned Fred, with that they headed back the way they had came hand-in-hand. When they got back to where George and Hermione were they were shocked to find the couple kissing quite passionately. Hermione was now fully on her back with George leaning over her, his one hand was under her swimsuit on her stomach while the other supported him. Her hands were on either side of his back.

"Umm... George, it's about time to go," Fred said softly before laughing with Angelina as both George and Hermione jumped at the sound of his voice. George raised his head and glared his twin.

"Fine." George groaned and looked at Hermione gently, who in return giggled at his complete look of disgust at their being interrupted. "Fred, Angelina... meet my girlfriend."

After getting themselves sorted out the girls pulling on the warmer clothes they had brought and the guys pulling on their own clothing. As they climbed up the stairs there was a more intimate closeness between the couples that is until they reached the top of the stairs and tried to open the wall to let them into the corridor. It was there that they realized that the door wouldn't budge, the door wouldn't open for any of them all saying the password 'Abracadabra' and 'Alohomora'.

"Oh, we're going to be late for curfew and Prof. McGonnagal she'll find out and we'll lose points and..." Hermione moaned until George pulled her into a hug.

"Hush, we'll be a little late but we won't get caught... don't forget who your with! Fred and I know every nook and cranny in this place," George said.

"Angelina, you and Hermione go back to the beach... we'll come and get you when we're able to get the wall open," Fred said squeezing her hand before letting go. Hermione and Angelina headed back down the stairs going slowly because there was now slight moisture on them that hadn't been there before. When the two girls reached the beach it was to find that all the candles had now guttered themselves out and the beach was now covered in long, grotesque shadows.

"Lovely," muttered Angelina shivering as a breeze blew by them. "Is it just me or does it seem that we're now outside?"

"I think you're right," Hermione agreed staying closer to the older girl.

"What the bloody hell is going on!" Fred yelled frustrated as George and he tried every opening spell that they knew, to no success.

"I don't know but this is not good, Hermione is going to kill us if she gets into trouble," George said running his hands through his hair. "Well, since it's not going to open for us let's head back down and see if the girls have any ideas." When Fred and George were almost to the bottom of the stairs they heard the girls scream.

"Angelina!" yelled Fred dashing down the last few steps at a full out run.

"Hermione!" George followed right on Fred's heels. When the guys reached where they had had the picnic, all they found of the girl's stuff was their shoes and socks, but there was footsteps leading off to the west that they followed at a run. Before they had gone more than twenty feet the beach seemed to shift under their feet and then disappear and they were pitched into blackness.
