Fred frowned as he saw his twin yet again in Harry's company. Ever since the quidditch practice yesterday, George has been avoiding him and hanging out with Harry. Fred hated to admit it, but he was jealous that Harry got all the attention he desired from his twin. Unknown to him, there was another who thought that as well.
Amanda Reeks was watching George with Harry from behind a suite of armor, jealousy and rage filling her. She figured since she saw George with Harry that the one he loved was the so called boy who lived. Turning around, she stormed to her dorm rooms to device a plot to break them up, not knowing there was nothing to break up.
Harry and George however, were enjoying themselves. After the revelations from the potions master the night before, Harry had to comfort the older boy he thought as a brother. If it wasn't for Snape's calming potion, Harry would never have been able to take George back in the dorm.
Currently, Harry had his head on George while George was leaning against a tree. They were really comfortable like this and didn't realize what it looked like to outsiders. The two considered each other siblings, nothing more, and thought the world knew that too. Obviously not, considering the jealous stares the two got.
What revealed this to them though, or rather Harry who later told George, was when the young teenager was accosted by his dorm mates after he had left George outside Severus Snape's office. "So?" Seamus asked eagerly, confusing Harry.
"So what?" He asked and Seamus huffed impatiently at that. It seems that out of his four roommates, only Seamus was interested in whatever they were accosting him for, though Harry did notice a peculiar emotion in Dean's eyes that he couldn't quite identify.
"When did you get with George Weasley? Or is it Fred? I can never separate them." Harry spluttered a bit at that and choked on his own spit. "I am not dating George Weasley! We are just friends!" He said after he stopped coughing.
Seamus, Dean, Neville and Ron just stared at him, not believing he was saying the truth. Harry huffed at that. "I am not dating George Weasley." He repeated and this time, it seems he persuaded them as they slumped a bit with disappointment – or was that relief in Dean's case?
"Why are you in his company so much then?" Seamus asked and Harry frowned at them. "Can't I just hang out with a friend? But if you must know, yesterday during practice he wasn't feeling well so I helped him to the hospital wing. During that time we spend together, we realized we had a lot in common and enjoyed spending time in each other's company. That's all."
Seamus groaned in disappointment and turned around. It was clear that he had been expecting something juicer but Harry had spoiled it. Rolling his eyes at the three retreating figures, Harry noticed that Dean had stayed behind.
"Yes Dean?" Harry asked, feeling that Dean wanted to ask him something. He felt his heart beat faster, just like it always did when he was alone with the one he liked. Dean was about to open his mouth to speak when out of nowhere, Ginny appeared and latched herself at him. That's right, he had forgotten, Dean was dating Ginny, there was no way that anything would ever happen between him and Dean, he was clearly straight.
"Since you seem to have a previous engagement, you can ask me what you want later. I am meeting with George in a few minutes, so I should go. Goodbye, Dean, Ginevra." Ginny's name was said with a bit of a cold tone. Harry had a feeling Dean was going to say something important and Ginny interrupted him. Turning around, he left going to the dungeons, not noticing Dean's sad and jealous stare.
At the dungeons, George was waiting for Harry. He noticed Fred approaching him from the corner of his eye and started panicking as he felt the potion reacting. His savior appeared in the form of the potions' master.
"Weasley, get inside, I forgot to add something in the lecture about how to properly take care of ingredients so they don't blow up in your face." Entering Snape's office, George gave a sigh of relief as he felt the urges fade. "Thank you professor." George softly says, but surprisingly, Severus just waves it off.
"I have been under that particular potion before. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to resist the urges and told the person I love about my feelings. Fortunately, the person returned them, but I was embarrassed, since the potion made me blurt my feelings in front of all the Slytherin students."
George gaped at him but then he turned serious. "Do you think I should tell Fred?" he whispers and Snape watches him carefully. "What I think doesn't matter, what matters is that you aren't comfortable telling him, so you shouldn't force yourself." "Thank you." George whispers and silence falls between them.
It wasn't long before a knock was heard at the door. Opening it, George grinned with relief, seeing Harry. "Is Fred gone?" He asks and Harry frowns. He had hoped to arrive before there was any chance Fred would appear. Glancing quickly around, he didn't see George's twin anywhere, so he nodded. Stepping out after thanking the professor one more time, the two left the dungeons and went back to the grounds.
"Dean, Seamus and Ron just told me something shocking." Harry says suddenly, and George glances at him curious. "Oh?" "They think that we are dating. It's quite possible the rest of the school thinks so as well." George stops where he was, looks at Harry and bursts out laughing.
"Seriously?" He gasps through his laugher and Harry nods as he grins. He found it amusing too, now that he wasn't faced with four 'interrogators'. However, George suddenly froze. "Oh no, that girl will think that as well. Harry, you must be careful, you never know what she will do." Harry frowned at him but nodded. "Don't worry, I'll ask Dobby to protect me. He is very good at spotting dangers, though he has weird ideas on how to save me."
George nods with relief and the two continue their way out.
So… this chapter is done. It was difficult to write (probably not helped by the fact I am so bored I could actually clean to stave it off. Hope you enjoyed.
