Remember When

Chapter 4- Here's to Tonight

"Can I get another drink please?" George urged the bartender as he pushed a bit of money towards him. " And do make it strong."

It had cost him a pretty penny to book the bridal shower at The Silver Magnolia, but it was worth it he supposed. Angelina, was after all, just like a sister to him. Since she didn't have any sisters or brothers of her own, and her parents had moved to the States, George felt like it was the right thing to do to pay for the party. So now all he was obligated to do was sit back, relax, abuse the open bar, and wait.

The waiting was killing him.

"How is my very generous brother doing this evening?" Fred slapped his hand down on George's shoulder causing George to jump slightly.

"Wishing I had brought some of our dissolving canary creams. Merlin, I'd love to see the look on Angelina's face." George chuckled. "Imagine it if you will. They all toast to the future bride and then…" He slapped his hand down on the bar. " Canaries everywhere."

"Yeah, hilarious. Remember you don't have to go home with her." Fred shook his head and pulled himself up on the stool beside his brother. " Plus Ginny's here and I don't like being on the receiving end of one of her blistering boil hexes." Fred winced in memory of the last time he had made Ginny angry.

"So is Bridzilla having a good time? Seems as though she hasn't stopped running that mouth of hers since she got here."

Fred gave a slight nod. " Well she seems to be having a nice time. Then again she's likely to-"

" Bite someone's head off at any give second?"

"Precisely."

"It's what Bridzilla's do."

"Naturally." Fred chuckled. "Speaking of which, can we leave yet? I don't feel very safe with all this estrogen around me."

George sighed, gave a nod to the bartender as his drink arrived, and then downed the drink in one shot. " I just want to wait until Katie gets here."

"You'll become an alcoholic at the rate your drinking." He looked over his shoulder and stole a glance at his future bride. " Come on, George. Angie seems happy, mum looks ecstatic, and I'm pretty sure Ginny has been crying for the last half hour. " He shrugged. "What's the big deal if we leave before Katie gets here? We see her at least three times a week."

George felt a pang of guilt not telling Fred that Alicia was supposedly coming. However he had good reason to suspect that if he did say something Fred would get in one of his moods and start cracking jokes that George wasn't ready to handle. So he just took the easy way out. " Katie said she had a surprise."

" A surprise from Katie is probably as exciting as a zit on a pubescent teen. Come on lets just go."

"No."

From the corner of his eye George was certain that Fred's eyes had gone a little wide. " Did you just say no to me? Your other half? The blood of your blood? The peanut butter to your jelly?"

George shot him a perplexed look. "What?"

"Another round of drinks then?" Fred suggested.

"That's the spirit."

"For Merlin's sake I've never seen more savages in one place!" Lee came from behind them and found the empty seat next to George.

"Yeah they get nutty at these things." Fred shook his head. " Lee, mate, where in bloody hell is Katie? I mean we know she can be awfully forgetful, but this is getting ridiculous." He rolled his eyes. "And Georgie over here wont leave until she arrives."

"Oh really?" Lee shot George a look. "I'm sure she'll be here soon. You know Katie, I bet she went to the wrong place or something. Give her a few minutes. She'll be here."

George felt his eyes wander towards the door. The waiting was killing him, but he had waited eight years for this moment. A few more minutes of waiting seemed like a simple price to pay.


"Alicia calm down your going to give yourself a heart attack." Katie held firmly onto Alicia's hand as they arrived in the lobby of the hall.

It took almost an hour to convince Alicia that everything would be fine, but by the time they were ready to go Katie had realized they were already very late. Alicia definitely wasn't in the correct state of mind to apparate so Katie found a bit of floo powder and forced Alicia into the fireplace. Alicia had been stammering so much she was surprised she made it to the Magnolia without a problem.

"Katie, I can't do this. I just can't. I don't even know why I'm so nervous but I can't stop shaking." She bit down on her lower lip. "Are you sure George isn't going to be here. I mean, I'm really not ready to face him, and I don't want to screw up Angelina's day."

"Excuse me sir, but we are here for the Johnson bridal shower. Can you direct us?" Katie nodded as the man in the very dashing suit pointed down the hall. Katie sighed, and pulled Alicia around the corner and down the corridor. " You are not going to ruin anything! First of all it's a bridal shower. Behind that door are fifteen women watching Angelina open presents, probably crying, and eating a lot of chocolate."

"But what if no one wants to see me?"

Katie halted in her steps. "Hello Alicia, are you in there today?" She tapped her hand against Alicia's forehead. " This is going to be the best present Angie's likely to get all day."

Alicia gasped. "Oh Katie we forgot presents!"

"Actually…" Katie scrunched her nose. "I kinda figured I'd use you as my present."

"Well what the hell am I supposed to do? Katie I can't believe you let me forget a present. For the love of Merlin! Why I could just kill you."

"Now there's the normal Alicia I know. Anger and threats, gotta love it." Katie pulled her on down the hall. "Come on."

"Wait wait…" She let go of Katie's hand and rushed over to a small table that sat against the wall. It was topped with a beautiful vase full of blooming magnolias. "I hope this will satisfy her for the time being."

"Eh, Angie is going to be too preoccupied crying over your arrival to even notice. Well here we are." Katie strolled up to the last door down the corridor. "On the other side of this door sits someone who is going to die when they see you!" She grinned.

"How do I look, do I look alright." She flattened down her dark brown hair with her free hand.

"You look fine. Actually I'm glad you changed out of that dreadful tee-shirt and jeans combo. I think if anything Angelina would have been pissed you wore such an informal ensemble to her party."

Alicia's eyes dropped to the deep blue dress she had borrowed from Katie. She had felt like an idiot when Katie told her to put it on. She hated dresses with an incredible passion. Still this dress wasn't quite so bad. In fact she liked the way it looked on her a lot. The straps were very thin, and almost non existent while the top squared off right above her breasts. The body was very straight and clung to her curves quite nicely, and if Katie hadn't pointed it out yesterday she wouldn't have taken notice to how nice the material accentuated her chest. However jeans and a tee-shirt would have made her feel less like a streetwalker right about now.

Katie was wearing almost an identical dress to Alicia's only hers was a soft pink and not so clingy. She also wore a lacy shawl over her shoulders, and Alicia cursed silently to herself wishing she had grabbed a shawl too.

"Ok, look. There are about fifteen people in there which include Angelina, Mrs. Weasley, Ginny and Hermione Granger. As for the rest of them, well I think they are mostly Angelina's co-workers from the Ministry."

Alicia took a very deep breath.

"I'll go in there first and tell everyone that I have a huge surprise, or something like that, ya know?"

Alicia nodded.

"Then all you have to do is walk in and be your oh so charming self. " Katie gave her arm a reassuring rub. "I promise everything will be fine. This is going to be one hell of a day." Katie grinned. "Well… here we go."

"Here we go."


"Oh and these are the sheets I wanted! Pure Egyptian silk! Hermione you shouldn't have!"

"I had Ron pick them up for me when he was playing The Runes last week. I knew you'd love them." She took a sip of her tea.

The door to the ballroom opened and everyone's eyes shot in it's direction. Angelina was holding a box of bed sheets over her head when she saw Katie. Quickly she dropped them to the floor and stood up.

Fred cringed. "Bridzilla strikes again." He whispered.

"Where the hell have you been? Your supposed to be one of my best friends and you are over an hour late!"

"Don't take that from her Katie! Give her hell!" Lee called from across the room.

"Shut up, Lee!" Angelina growled back.

Katie moved her eyes across the room towards Lee. Sometimes she really loved the guy, but when her eyes found him her smile faltered. "Oh shit." Her eyes went wide when she took in the form sitting next to Lee. They weren't supposed to be here.

"What is it, Katie love? You look like a kneazle's got your tongue."

"I- I- I- I …"

Katie's eyes remained locked on George. Alicia was going to kill her. No, forget kill her. Alicia was going to slowly torture her and then if she was lucky she would kill her.

"Katie, are you going to come join us, or are you going to stand there and babble nonsense at those idiots all day?" Angelina placed the bed sheets down and grabbed the next box from Mrs. Weasley.

"Yes yes dear, come sit down. Join the girls for a bit of fun." Molly waved her hand and tapped the vacant chair next to her.

"Uh, well, Angie." Katie nervously began to play with her hair.

"What?" Angelina quirked her eyebrow.

Shaking her head Katie tried to place the smile back on her face. "Heh, well I -" Clearing her throat she continued. " Well the reason I was late is kind of important. You see I was on my way here when I ran into someone. I figured since I didn't have a gift for you I'd just bring this person along…" Katie pushed the door open and gave a nod for Alicia to come in.

"Ta da!" Alicia popped inside the room with her arms held wide open. Then she saw him. The flowers she was holding in her right hand fell to the floor with a thud.

The room went silent.

Slowly Alicia lowered her arms and lowered her eyes. "Uh hey everyone."

Katie coughed uncomfortably. Angelina, Fred and even Ginny turned their eyes towards George in what seemed like slow motion. For that single solitary moment it seemed as though time had completely stopped.

"Felicia!" Lee jumped from the stool and grinned. "We were wondering when you'd get here." He gave George a hard slap on the shoulder.

Alicia shot Katie the dirtiest look possible. She was definitely going to kill her.

We will find out what else happens at the bridal party in the next chapter. I've been dying to have George and Alicia talk but I figure I can wait one more chapter. However I PROMISE that they will be reuinited in chapter 5.

Ya know what would be super awesome…. If you guys pushed that little button and left me a review! You guys are the best! Thanks!
