Hey everyone! Just a note about this story. There is no evil Lord Voldemort. I decided that the Harry Potter world needed a story where there wasn't so much destruction and violence.
Summary:
Elizabeth a girl in her fourth year with her older brother in his seventh has to learn if love is worth fighting for while dealing with some personal tragedies along the way. Will she ever be able to tell George how she feels or will his friendship with her brother prevent that?

Have fun reading! Now on with the story!
I awoke to my alarm clock blaring telling me it was time to get up and get ready for the trip to school. Today was my first day of fourth year at Hogwarts and my big brothers final year. I quickly got out of bed and walked across the room to my stereo and turned it on. I liked music in the mornings to get me going. I quickly walked into the bathroom and took my shower. After I got out I blow dried my hair into wavy curls that fell around my face. I had naturally auburn hair and I loved it. Then I put on some light make-up. I didn't need much. Knock on wood but so far I had never had a blemish in my life. After I was done with that I dressed for the train ride. I had on a pair of black jeans, a black tank top, and a black, grey, and white plaid shirt. I finished my look with black boots and a small black purse.
"Elizabeth, Mom says hurry the Weasley's just got here." I heard Jason call up the stairs. Quickly I grabbed the rest of my things and headed down the stairs. My heart quickened a little when I saw him. George Weasley. I had formed a crush on him from Year one to now. He and his twin were best friends with my brother though so I never had a chance. Jason would kill me and George if he ever found out that I even thought of George that way. When I finally entered the room I saw the whole Weasley clan. Including Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and all seven of their children.
"Ah Liz you look amazing as always." Mrs. Weasley said as she saw me.
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley." I said with a smile.
"Please call me Molly." She said to me once more. She always insisted that I did but around my parents I wasn't comfortable calling an adult by their first name. I turned and looked at Charlie. He was the oldest of the Weasley children.
"Hey little sis." He said opening his arms and I quickly ran at him and let him pull me into a hug. "Long time no see." I nodded. I hadn't seen Charlie in over a year. "You look all grown up. Your going to have the guys all over you this year."
"Oh no she wont." Jason spoke up looking at me. "Or maybe she will."
"Don't worry Jason." I said smiling. "I promise to be careful."
"Oh I'll still worry." He said pulling me from Charlie and hugging me. I heard a slight fumbling from where our fireplace was and turned to see Harry and Hermione get out. I smiled and ran over to them at the same time Ron did. The four of us were inseparable.
"Harry, Hermione." I said with a smile I was glad to see them. All of us in the room either were or are Gryffindor's at Hogwarts.
"Well now that everyone is here we should get going." My mom called and we all piled into my families two mini vans. Somehow I had ended up between the twins.
"So Liz now that your brother realizes you are old enough to date anyone you have on mind?" Fred asked and I just looked at him.
"I don't know Fred." I said looking at him and George wondering what they were up to.
"Well you do know anyone that hurts you." Fred started.
"Has to go through Fred and me, along with Jason." George finished.
"Thanks guys." I said looking at them and smiling. Little did they know that I wouldn't want anyone for a while because I still wanted George. When we finally arrived on the Hogwarts express platform there was a lot of hugging and saying goodbye to the parents before boarding the train. Quickly we began settling into our own places. Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and I in one corridor together.
"So still crushing on you-know-who?" Ginny asked as she sat by Harry. They had been dating for a couple of months now. Along with Hermione and Ron. I always felt like the fifth wheel.
"Kind of." I said and she started smiling.
"Come on tell us who it is." Ron said upset that they were kept out of the loop. But I knew the more people who knew the more it could slip to George or worse yet Jason.
"I don't know." I said looking at them they were my best friends they had never let anything slip before.
"Oh just tell them Liz." Ginny said. Then she looked at them. "You have to swear not to tell anyone." She said seriously and they all nodded their heads. "You also cant freak out."
"What is it Malfoy?" Harry asked with a smile. He knew I could never like that spoiled brat. Plus I think Malfoy swung for the other team. Something about the way he looked at Harry.
"Just tell us." Ron said and I sighed and got ready to tell them.
"Hey Liz." Jason said as he walked into the room and I realized he had just saved me from telling them right now.
"What's up bro?" I asked looking at him.
"Seamus just asked if he could ask you out. What should I say?" I looked up at him in shock. "Hey guys have asked before. I just said no till now." Then he looked at his girlfriend Angelika that was standing beside him.
"He tried. I wouldn't let him." She said with a smug look on her face. I thought about it for a minute.
"Tell him to give me time to settle into school before he asked I'll have an answer then." Angelika nodded and led Jason out of the room.
"Is it Seamus you like?" Hermione asked and I shook my head.
"Its George." I looked at the faces around me. Hermione looked like she already knew and the boys looked down right shocked.
"As in George Weasley? As in my brother?" Ron asked and I nodded my head.
"How long?" Harry asked.
"Since year one." With that news the boys looked even more shocked.
"You cant tell anyone. Jason would kill me." I said looking at everyone who nodded their heads.
"So Georgeā¦" Ron started.
"My ears are burning are you talking about me?" George asked walking into the corridor with Fred.
"Yes." Ron said and I just looked at him. "I was about to tell them about the gnome you gave one of your candies too."
"Ah yes that was amazing." George said with a smile.
"So Liz Seamus is running around telling people he is going to ask you out in a week and your brother oked it." Fred said looking at me and I smiled.
"Well then guess he is. Jason did ask me if I wanted Seamus to ask me out." I said not looking at George.
"Well little miss looks like you're a hot commodity already." George said "also looks like we're going to have to go threaten him now."
"DON'T YOU DARE GEORGE!" I yelled looking at him.
"I was kidding." He said holding up his hands in surrender.
"We wouldn't do that till you say yes to the bloke." Fred said grabbing George and both of them heading out of the room.
"We have ten minutes till we get there. We should go change." Ginny said getting up and Hermione and I nodded following suit. Quickly we entered a empty corridor and changed. "You know I think George likes you too." Ginny said and I just stared at her. Now way was that true.
"I agree, the way he looks at you just something about it says he likes you too." Hermione said as we walked into the hall to go back to the boys.
"I think your both nuts." I said looking at them and entering the corridor with the boys in it. Soon the train was coming to a stop and we were exiting it and heading up to the school in carriages. Once there we took our seats at the Gryffindor table and waited for the sorting of the first years.
Just a little introduction into the story and the characters. I haven't decided how she is going to handle the Seamus invitation when it comes around. Really Liz will make up her mind then I am sure. Next up Dumbledore has some interesting news for the students and the first day of school. There will be some time jumping in the beginning but only because there is nothing happening really until the second week of school. Please bear with me this story is a work in progress. Anyways Read and Review. I accept any constructive criticism that anyone may have.
