Author's Note: My first attempt! Be nice. Anywho, while not a songfic, this fanfic is based on the song Don't Say You Love Me by M2M
Key lyrics
Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me, then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
Not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time
Don't Say You Love Me

"Hey Alicia! Wait up!" A voice called down the corridor. Alicia Spinnet, a pretty girl in the sixth year, turned around curiously.
"Hello, George. What's up?" Alicia asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
George took a deep breath. "I was, uh.. wondering, if, uh.. if you'd like to go on a, er, walk with me?"
George, you're such an idiot! He thought, making a mental note to kick himself in the head later.
But to George's great surprise, Alicia smiled. "Sure, I'd love to," she said.
"Great!" George happily replied. He stood there grinning at her for awhile.
"So... shall we go?" Alicia said
"Er, right! Of course... after you," George awkwardly replied, making a feeble attempt to seem chivalrous.
Alicia giggled. "Alright then," she said and started walking towards the garden.
The two of them walked in silence for awhile. George glanced at her every few minutes, trying to think of something witty to say. She looked so calm and collected.
"So, um... how'd you do on Snape's pop quiz in Potions?" He questioned, trying to make conversation.
"I got an A+. How 'bout you?" Alicia replied.
"Oh, um... I did a bit worse than that," George stuttered, surprised at Alicia's answer. The quiz had been really tough for him.
"Come on, you can tell me!" Alicia coaxed him.
"Oh fine... I got.. I got..."
"Well? Go on?"
"I got a GRADE!"
"Grr, you!" Alicia shrieked. George laughed and broke out into a run. Alicia chased after him.
"Come on, George. Tell me!" She begged.
"Now way!" He laughed speeding up.
But, truth be told, Alicia was faster. She caught right up to him and tackled him to the ground.
"Tell me!" She demanded.
"No way!"
"Fine. You leave me no choice."
"Wha...." Before George could finish his sentence, Alicia started tickling him mercilessly.
"Stop.. stop... ok I'll tell you," George pleaded.
"Finally!" Alicia said, breathing heavily.
Suddenly the two of them were aware of how close they were.
"Alicia.." George said, his voice suddenly more husky than before.
"Yeah?" Alicia answered softly.
"I think... I think I'm in love with you," he said.
There was a long pause. Oh no George thought. She hates me.
"Well?" He said
"I have to go," she said quickly, and run up towards the grounds.
"Alicia! Wait!" George called, preparing to run after her. But she was gone.
"What did I do?" George said aloud. But all he could hear was the rustling of the wind in the trees.
