Authors Note: Hey guys! So this is my first Fan Fiction, I love reading it but I have never written it before. I am a HUGE fan of George Weasley and I had this written in my journal and I have been wanting to put it down on this site, so reviews are much appreciated! They might be a bit out of character, sorry about that.
Thank you so much for any reviews! Sorry if it doesn't sound like a boy would think this way, I am doing my best though, let me know if you see anywhere that could make improvements.
This place takes during George's 6th or 7th year.
Disclaimer : I own nothing Harry Potter in here, only the character Alexis
****
Running. I was running, she was just within my reach. Her dark auburn hair bounced down her back as she ran. Her long legs pushed her further, I couldn't quite reach her. I continued following her, trying to get her attention.
"Alexis!"
I called but she did not turn around. We were running all through the long corridors of Hogwarts, till finally she reached the stairs to the Astronomy Tower and started climbing. At the top she began climbing over the edge of the rail on the balcony, I grabbed her slender wrist, stopping her. She fell backwards onto the ground with her back turned toward me.
"Alex! Are you completely mad?! What did you think you were just about to do?"
She turned and stood up, she was nearly eye to eye with my 6'0, shy maybe just 2 inches. The look on her face caused me to back away. A fierce passion was strewn across her face, she had the same look she got just before a fiery argument between us.
"What do you care George?!"
Her words took me off guard, I had to think for a moment to word what I was about to say correctly.
"Because, you are my best friend, if you were about to do the completely nutter thing I think you were about to do then I am clearly flunking on my part at being a good friend, because I should be here for you so you can talk about your erm...your feelings.." I tried not to pronounce it like the dirty word I thought it was "Or whatever the hell is going on in your crazy head that would make you want to do this!"
Her expression softened, her brilliant green eyes shown with compassion. Her voice, on the other hand, was stern and almost vicious.
"George, people do crazy things when they are in love" she almost whispered.
In love?! My Alex was in love? With who?!
Woh..
Wait..Did I just claim her as mine?
No of course not..
Wait why didn't I know about this before?! Being in love is a pretty huge deal, why wouldn't she have told me?
"Wait, love?! What? Alex what?"
She then screwed up her face and looked at me, she looked like she was mad for letting something slip. She turned and I grabbed her wrist again, her skin sent the familiar fire up my arms. She was facing me again.
"You are in love?! With who? And who's love could possibly cause you to do this?!"
She looked almost hurt. "No...no I am not in love". Her tone sounded like she was trying to convince herself more than me.
I was almost getting angry for being kept in the dark for so long. "NO, that's not what you said, you said you are in love, with who?"
"Seriously George, what the hell does it matter? To you?! You just go through life making jokes, why would anything important matter to you?!"
I ignored that sting, she was just trying to create a distraction.
"What does it matter if..if I am hurting..I just want it to end! Dammit let me go!"
She tried to get over the ledge again, but my grip on her was tight. I yanked her toward me and spun her around so her back was pushed against the wall of the tower and I was closest to the rail. She tried to get away again so I put my hands on both of her shoulders and pinned her against the wall.
"Why the bloody hell do you keep doing that? What will that help!? You are hurting? Everyone hurts! You are supposed to talk about it, find someone to help! I thought that someone would have been me..."
She looked at me, a hurt expression on her face. Then as quickly as that she fell to the ground and started sobbing. Instinctively I knelt down and pulled her into my arms, she rested her head on my chest, it amazed me how her body fit perfectly into my arms.
Wait what?
Her body?
She was my friend..friends don't think about how their other friend's have perfectly fitting bodies.
Her sobbing continued for several minutes while I held her, rubbing my hand on her back and her soft hair.
Just when I thought another outburst of sobs was going to start she looked up at me, then scrambled out of my arms standing up. I stood up quickly and blocked her way to the edge. She tried to get around me again, I was so shocked by this behavior, her mood swings were giving me whip lash. (A/N I know I know not my quote haha) I grabbed her and pushed her against the wall, like not 5 minutes ago. Her green eyes met my blue ones. Her eyes always conveyed her emotions to me, and right now the normal ring of copper that surrounded the center of her heavenly emeralds looked like they were a vicious ring of fire. "George stop trying to help! You could never understand anything about what I am feeling! You don't get the first thing about me!"
"Couldn't understand?!"
This caused a anger to roar inside of me, so I grabbed her shoulders and pulled my face so close to hers we were almost touching noses.
"I couldn't understand you?! You who I have been best friends with for almost, what, seven years! And I don't get anything, huh?! Yeah I don't know anything, like I don't know that.. your favorite time of day is dusk, or that you have this weird obsession with socks that I couldn't understand if I tried, or that you are self conscious even though you have no reason to be because you are beautiful, strong, brave, and smart, or how the littlest compliment makes you blush like a tomato, or how I know you haven't fallen in love yet..err well until recentlyI guess, because you think guys our age are a waste of time, which you are partially right about mind you, or that you remember everything from what I ate for breakfast to the exact sentence Professor Snape said in class 3 Wednesdays ago, or that.." I was out of breath "that you are my best friend and.." Our faces were so close I could smell her sweet breath, her eyes were glistening with tears and she looked shocked.
Without thinking twice I closed the gap between us, our lips touched, at first she went rigid but then responded enthusiastically by putting her hands around my neck. Our lips seemed to speak a language of their own, and they were having a heated discussion. I dropped my hands from her shoulders to her waist and lifted her up against the wall, she responded by wrapping her legs around my waist. My lips left her mouth and I planted passionate kisses down her neck. I heard her gasp slightly and my mouth found hers again. The kisses went on for what felt like days, perfect days, when we broke apart those days didn't feel long enough..
She unwrapped her legs from my waist and I loosened my hold on her. She turned her head quickly before I got even a glance at her expression. I wasn't sure if what I just did was ok, it definitely wasn't the right time to do it, and being her best friend, I wasn't sure how she felt about all of this. She started to back away so I let her go to have some space, she turned towards me, tears streaming down her face. I was confused, I know I kissed her but she seemed to respond well...enthusiastically enough. Why was she crying?
She then pulled me into a hug, her lips just inches from my ear. "I'm so sorry..I didn't mean..I didn't mean to make you do that, you didn't need to..kiss me..I know you didn't want..I am so sorry"
I was so confused by this statement, she thinks she made me kiss her? What logic was that? I was still in shock when she pulled out of my hug, then she walked past me, which snapped me back to reality. Before I knew what was going on she was over the edge falling toward the darkness.
"No! Alex, NO!"
Then before I could think I jumped after her.
"Oi! Mate! Wake up!"
I forced my eyes open, Fred was shaking me awake. Then I realized it was all a dream.. The same exact damn dream that I have had so many times since the start of school this year, but the kiss was a new addition to the dream.
"We will be late for potions if you don't hurry! As much as I love seeing Professor Snape all pissy, we are reviewing for the exam that is tomorrow!"
Potions..Alexis was in potions.. I had to see her, to make sure she was still alive..still breathing.
In two minutes I was dressed and walking out the door with Fred towards potions.
