I hate my brother. I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM! Who does he think he is, anyways, trying to be funny? He knows damn straight he's not the funny one in this family! Fred and I are! So why did he go and crack that joke? Saying Hermione and I would be a cute…Oh, I'm going to get him for this. This is totally cliché …but … this means war!
Besides, me…and Hermione? For one, she's seventeen and I'm almost twenty. And for another thing…I've known her since she was eleven! That would be like…like…being interested in Ginny…romantically? EW! Pardon me, notebook, I have to go wash my brain out.
Kitchen
9:30 AM
Hermione made breakfast for us. It was splendid, I never knew the girl could cook! I was afraid things would be all weird-like, because I know she knows what my idiot brother said, but all she did was magnificently drop hot coffee in his lap…by accident, of course. Please insert evil cackle here
Not only am I glad she's here to keep Ron, Harry and Ginny under control, but thank Gods that darn cat (ha ha) listens to her, at least! I don't know why Ginny ever volunteered to take him in for the summer. Something about Hermione's cousin staying at her house and being allergic to cats. I might as well be allergic to Crookshanks for how well we get along! I hate cats. I would rather be cooped up with the ghoul in the attic than spend another summer with that…that…thing.
I have decided to plot revenge on my darling little brother Ronald. I have been working on a new idea that came to me the other day: some type of sweet with veritaserum in it, so that after the victim-I mean, the subject-eats it, they will be forced to tell the truth to any question you ask them. I think Fred will like the idea, once he's back from Heaven and back in the real world.
I was thinking…maybe I should call up Alicia. I haven't talked to her in ages. Maybe we could go out for a butterbeer or something of the sort. What with my brother getting married and all, I should be introduced back into the dating world. Something is making me think that Ron has a girlfriend…I don't know why, or who it is…but he's been on the phone lately, a lot, and I've no clue who with. To think Ron has a girlfriend and I don't…shudder. You know what…notebook…? I think I will give Alicia a call later on.
Drawing Room
5:40 PM
So. Okay. So. Well…Alicia is coming over for dinner tomorrow night. I didn't really expect her to say YES! I thought she would just kind of laugh it off and we'd talk for a while, and then her stud of a boyfriend would get there and we'd never talk again. But noooo, now I've got … a dinner date!
I am George Weasley. I don't get nervous. I make jokes and I laugh and I poke fun…but I don't get nervous! It's un-Georgelike! But now I find myself…pacing! Only dunces pace, and I am not a dunce! Really! What am I going to make? I can't cook so great. Maybe…yes, that's it. Gotta go…notebook.

That was the biggest disaster of my life. Would you, journal, like a play-by-play? I think I can brace myself enough to write it down here…yes, okay, here goes nothing.
So I race off yesterday to bed Hermione. Scratch that. I BEG Hermione to help me cook a dinner for me and Alicia, and she says sure, no problem. So I thank her profusely, and she gets out all mum's cookbooks and we find the perfect steak pudding.
Alicia is coming the next day at 6:30, so Hermione and I start the meal at 4:30. We are, of course, doing it by magic, but something had to sit for a while, I don't know, I'm not the cook. We have a lot of fun cooking, the five of us. Yes, five. Naturally Harry and Ron wanted to join in to make as much trouble as possible, and Ginny didn't want to be off alone, so they all 'helped'. They were more of a hindrance, but it was fun nevertheless. Ginny made dessert and Harry made some vegetable dish. And after we were done with all that, Ron makes an announcement. He says: "George, because we helped you, you have to let us eat with you."
First I'm all mad, but then I decide that it would probably be best to have them as distractions in case there was trouble. Of course, it didn't occur to me that if there WAS any trouble, wonderful Harry and Ron would be the cause of it.
Gods.
So, we all set the table out in the garden, all nice-like, thanks to the girls, and Alicia gets there. I give her these blue roses that we had growing in the garden. She's pleased. Everything went fine…for a while. I should have known it was going too good to last. The mayhem started when Ron was passing the steak pudding to Alicia, but accidentally dropped the last half of it in her lap. She cleaned it up right quick, but then she didn't get any to eat. Sigh So, THEN, I am a nervous wreck because I'm afraid Ron will blow the spotted dick.
Scratch that.
I am afraid that Ron will ruin the dessert. Yes. And so, what do I do? I ruin it. It all fell right onto the ground, and Crookshanks ate it up. So we forget about eating and decide to just go and play some exploding snap. Alicia had a very nice castle built, and Ron made it snap, and Alicia's skirt caught fire.
After that I yell at Ron, and he has a cow and says "Well it's not like you fancy her! You're just mad because you think I have a girlfriend and you don't!" So then I yell at him that that isn't true, I fancy her…which, of course, I really don't. She's nice and all, but she just doesn't do it for me. Anyways, Hermione glares at Ron and goes 'So you do, then, have a girlfriend?' and Ron goes red and Harry starts laughing, but his laugh turns to a choke and he spits on Alicia.
Ginny is just watching all this with an amused look on her face, by the way, and it's obvious we're all making prats of ourselves. So Alicia gets up and goes "Well, this sure has been…fun…but I have to go." I walk her out, but I trip on Crookshanks, that damn cat, and fall right into Alicia.
By the time she leaves, she has had steak pie and spit on her, her skirt caught on fire, insulted by Ron (on accident, really), and got her nose bloodied (not to mention her shirt) from the fall.
I AM NEVER DATING ANYONE EVER AGAIN!

5:46 AM
I am not a morning person. So I'm really upset that I am up this early. But I had a very…off-putting dream…about Hermione. I have no idea why, honestly, but there you go.
In my dream, I was in this room, and there are these paintings all around. Some were of Crookshanks, some of flowers and fruit and such, and there was this one of me, only I was kind of distorted and blurry, like the artist couldn't see me very well or something. And then Hermione steps out of these shadows, and she looks at me and I look at her, and I realize she's only wearing this white nightgown. Anyways, the room spins, and next thing I know I'm lying next to her in bed. In my dream, that is, and she lifts up her head and reaches under her pillow and pulls out those roses I gave Alicia, and they're all wilted and dead. I turn into Alicia, and Hermione turns to her and says, "I really wanted those flowers." And Alicia goes, "Really?" And Hermione says "Yeah" and wipes away a tear.
Weird.
-Wynter- Another wondeful chapter from MisEnchantment. Hope you liked it.
Review Responses
Aradia-Rose88- lol. I agree. They are being really stupid about it. I would never laugh that long over soemthing like that. Of course, that's probably because I love HemrioneXGeorge. :)
Ldybug- Wow, We feel really honored that you're going past what you usually read and acctually like it. Thanx for the review, It made my day. :)
Monica7725-They were laughing about the fact that they thought that Hermione and George dating is the funniest thing, and whenever they saw one of them or thought about it, they laughed. It was at the end, kinda hard to notice. Glad you like the story.
Stella Blu- Nothing wrong with cliche. lol. I write my English Essays like that all teh time, and I still get an A. lol. Awesome idea, i'll talk to MisEnchantment about it and find out if she already has anything planned or not, if not than we might just go with that. :)
HP-Magic- I think that too. I see nothing funny in the idea of Hermione and George dateing. I get upsaet about that too. They exclude you and it's so sad. :( I always get them back though, and it's always ten times better.
Miz Granger- Thanx, we're happy that you like it so far. :)
cupcakes-20- lol, thanx. You probably like it more now becasue it's finished. lol. Well, TTYL Miss. not-overly-perfect. lol.
boarding-las- I got back to you on that right? And I sent you the link too right? Anywhoz, thanx and i'm glad that people are acctually anxious.
BrItTsR- Hey, read the page that says... Home on the website. That will explain everything.
LetMeBreath- I would be too. My teacher played this prank on me on time where she was always wispering to people and then they would look at me and laugh. She did that all week and then she started wispering to my crush, who she knows about, and he started laughing at me too. For a week, everyone was laughing at me. I was so mad. Come to find out, she was wispering, "Look at Ciara and laugh, it'll drive her nuts." And sure as hell, it did.
Thamker- lol. I had the greatest time writing those lines, but MisEnchanment's are soooo much funnier.
FlairVerona- Another? Wow, I feel really special. So this is what it feels liek to have 2 good chapters in a story, usually, I only ahve one. So, the word another, doesn't come up much. :( Thanx for the review, it really made me smile. :)
