Chapter 2 - Something In the Way

The winter slowly ended and the summer started with sun and the flowers growing. George Weasley went untoutched by this. It was the middle of may, and three months had passed since he had met Alicia in the graveyard. Harry and Ginny had just had a beautiful baby girl that was named Lily after Harry's mother. Hermione and Ron had also had a boy that they named Hugo after Molly Weasley's grandfather. Ron had decided to quit in Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes and dedicate himself to the auror's training. The store was doing great and it was like the galleons were growing on trees for George.

He often thought of that moment in the graveyard. He hadn't seen her since. He had been to afraid to contact her. But he knew one thing; he loved her, but he was afraid of that she didn't love him. She had confessed that she was inlove with him, but, what if the feeling changed with the kiss? That was a question he asked himself countless times. George had, surprisingly gotten over some of the griev of Fred's death. He spent a lot of time thinking about Alicia these days. He knew he was going to have to face her someday, but that day seemed ages away. Until one day they met.

George was walking down to the Leaky Cauldron to take the Floo home to his parents. He wasn't with his eyes on the road, so he didn't see where he was going. He accidentally bumped into someone outside Music is Magic, and that was a someone he hadn't been able to get out of his mind.

"Oh sorry,"he mumbled before looking up.

"It's all right, I ..."she looked him straight in the eye, and blushed.

"Alicia,"George said.

"George,"she said.

There was an awkward silence that either of them seemed to be willing, or able to break.

"I ... I was just ..."George didn't even finish the sentence before walking away.

"George,"Alicia called after him before running after him. When she caught up with him, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

"Why are you avoiding me?"she said. "I've been trying to reach you for quite some time now."

"I know,"George mumbled,"I just needed some time."

"I understand, but three months. I was going mad with worries. I thought that you didn't like me, that you had just been lying when you said that you loved me."

"I was afraid,"he admitted. "I thought that maybe your feelings had changed after the kiss."

"Well, I can garentee that they have not. I am still madly ... I'm still inlove with you."

George looked relieved.

"I was thinking,"he suddenly said, "would you like to get dinner some time? To catch up?"

"Of course I do,"she answered and smiled at him. "I would like nothing more."

"Great. I'll, I'll call you and we'll make arrangements."

When he stepped out of the fireplace of the Burrow, his mother saw some change in him. He was smiling. Actully smiling. There was no sadness in his eyes, he hadn't smiled that much since Fred died.

"Hello dear,"Mrs. Weasley said. "You look happy today, did something happen?"

"Oh, you could say that,"George said and smiled at his mother. He felt like all the mourning and griev he had experienced for eight years was finally gone. He noticed that the grass in the yard was getting greener and the sun was shining brigtly, it was summer.

"Did you meet someone? Or did something happen at the Wheezes?"

"The Wheezes are doing great. We're growing fast, just like the flowers in you garden,"he joked.

His mother giggled, which was not rare. Those two grandchildren that had been born that year had been like life-elixir for her. Yes, Molly Weasley was so happy with all of her grandchildren. Nine grandchildren is a great number. First there were Bill and Fleur, that had two children, Victoire and Arthur, called Arty, then there was Charlie and his wife Angela who had a son that had been named Gideon after Molly Weasley's brother, Percy had even had a daughter with his wife, Penelope who was named Stefania, and we can't forget Ron and Hermione's children, Rose and Hugo, and Harry and Ginny's children, James, Albus and Lily. It was a large family tree.

"You didn't answer my question though,"Mrs. Weasley said. "Why are you so happy?"

"I met someone,"George said as he gazed out the window.

"That's marvelous George,"Mrs. Weasley shreeked and almost ran him over when she went and hugged him. "Why didn't I know about this before?"

"I just confirmed my feelings today,"George admitted. "I've known her a long time, and I didn't want to risk anything, at least not our friendship, but I know I love her."

"Did she go to Hogwarts with you? Do I know her?"

"I believe so. Yes she whent to Hogwarts with me, and you know her."

"Well, who is it?"

"Alicia Spinnet,"George said with such gentle that Molly Weasley had not heard him use since his brothers funeral.

"One of the chasers in the Gryffindor team?"she asked remembering who she was. "Well, you must invite her to dinner."

"Easy now mum. I'm going to ask her to dinner first, and then she can meet the family."

"I'm so happy for you George."

"You weren't this happy when Bill and Charlie brought their ladies home,"George said surprised.

"Of course I was happy,"she said. "It's just, I didn't know these girls then. But we've become good friends over the past years."

George grinned but said nothing. He knew that his mother and Angela, Charlie's wife, were good friends, but he couldn't say the same thing about Fleur. His mother had always thought that they had rushed on with that marrige to quickly and had never actully agreed her as a daughter-in-law. But she knew she had to settle with it, Bill and Fleur's love seemed to be something that couldn't be destroyed by a dragon, and much less by his mother.

"Dear, could you help me to put on the table. We're going to eat outside because we are so many,"George Weasley said.

"How many of us are there?"Georg asked.

"Well let's see, there's Bill, Fleur and their children, Charlie and Angela, plus Gideon ..."and so the list went on and had the total number of twenty-one people.

" ... oh yes, Teddy Lupin is also coming with Harry. So that makes us twenty-two."

George grinned and thought of the ocean of red-heads that would be in the garden that night. He looked bright eyes at the future.

Maybe my children will belong to this ocean one day. Little read-headed twins maybe? he thought. And of course he would be there, with his wife, which he hoped would be Alicia Spinnet.

The future couldn't get brighter, he thought. I'm inlove and happy. How much greater could live get?
