Like her? You're Crazy?
Chapter 8
The group entered the Great Hall, Montague smiled slyly and winked when he found Angelina in the crowd. George noticed and tightened his grip on Angelina's shoulder. She looked at George's face and noticed him glaring at someone. Montague. Angelina smiled gently at Montague then leaned into George more. He relaxed a little; Angelina liked the jealousy George was giving off. They continued walking down the row until they found a section of open seats. Katie and Lee popped down on the other side of the table with a stupid grin on their face.
"And just where exactly did you two go! You were in front of us then took a turn in the wrong direction!" Alicia accused.
Katie looked dumbfounded then blushed "Um, we got lost…"
Fred elbowed Alicia in the ribs, "Yeah lost in a broom closet!
Angelina leaned over the table and fixed a piece of Katie's messed up hair. George laughed "Busted!"
Lee shoved his fork into some scrambled eggs, "Oh shove off! Angelina looks like Montague is coming over here to get some. "
Angelina whipped her head around only to see the same very confident Montague strutting toward. "He looks like even more of an arrogant prick today than usual." George said under his breath. Angelina swatted his shoulder then got up and met Montague half way. She didn't want any more comments from the peanut gallery.
When she got to him he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "Hey there Angel."
"Oh hi…" she was kind of surprised at the forwardness and she didn't like that he called her Angel. That was George's thing. "I was just checking to see if we were still on for our date tonight."
"Yeah we are." She stepped back from his close proximity a bit.
"Great, so I will meet you here at around 7?"
Angelina looked confused, "I thought we said 8:30?"
"I know, but I want to spend more time with you, I can't do that if curfew is 10."
Angelina smiled sincerely, "Awh, that's sweet. Well then 7 it is. I'll see you then?"
"Can't wait, and by the way you look beautiful this morning." He winked at her and turned around back to his friends.
He's such a sweet talker. She rolled her eyes and smiled. She had a little more pep in her step when she reached George.
"Everything all right there Angel?" George asked her questionably.
"Mhm everything is fine!"
"Someone is a bit chipper don't ya think!" Fred nudged George.
"Guys leave her alone! She is obviously excited about her date tonight!" Alicia hit Fred on the shoulder.
"Come on Ang spill! What new plans did he come up with?"
"Nothing new, we are still walking around the grounds…"
Alicia interrupted "Oh thank God! I thought we were going to half to pick out another outfit!"
Everyone laughed, "The only thing that changed is the time, now we are meeting at 7 instead of 8:30." Angelina finished.
"That means an extra hour and a half-with the arrogant prick. I feel bad for you Ang." Lee looked at her grinning.
"No I actually feel bad for the bloke," Fred began, "An extra hour and a half with Angelina, bless his soul. He should have gotten away when he can!"
Angelina leaned over George and hit him on the head! "For your information he said he wanted to spend more time with me!" She playfully stuck her tongue out Fred.
"Ow, Ang. That hurt!" Fred rubbed his head. "Hope Montague doesn't make a move and you react in self defense."
George smiled, "I don't know about that Freddie. How much fun would it be to mock Montague for getting beat up by a Gryffindor Chaser, especially since she's a girl?" He wrapped his arm around Angelina's shoulder and shook her playfully.
Angelina laughed, "Would you guys stop! I am not going to beat up Graham on our first date. I would actually like a guy to like me!"
Alicia was tempted right there to shout, "Hello! That is what George is there for!", but resisted the temptation when she saw Georges face go red.
"Umm Ang," Lee piped up, "There are already a lot of boys who like you?"
"Lee don't be silly, "Angelina peaked at George, "I think I would know if a guy liked me, I am really REALLY good at picking up on those things. "
"Well you're obliviously not good at it!" Fred teased, "I mean it is blatantly obvious." Fred said looking directly between George and Angelina.
George figured he had better say something, "The guys are right Ang. "He looked at her for the first time since the topic started. "To be honest ladies," he turned to look at Katie and Alicia too, "I think you are all a little oblivious. Every guy is staring at you."
The girls all laughed, Katie smiled. "We notice everything, like how guys can't stop staring. We aren't as oblivious as you think!"
"Then why Angelina is it so hard to believe guys like you?" Lee shot his attention to her ad did the whole table.
"Because despite what you guys think, there is more to a girl then her looks and I don't think there are any guys who like me based on my personality." She sat up straight. George better be getting this message loud and clear!
"Hmm someone should tell that to Graham, don't you think?" George said as he turned around and caught Graham staring at the table from the other side of the room.
Alicia spoke up, "We will find out what Graham thinks of Angelina tonight! Then we can judge him."
"Wait "we"?" Angelina smiled, "I never said I'm sharing anything!"
"Fine with us!" Fred said, "I don't want to hear how you are snogging off Montague's face."
"Who said anything about snogging?" Angelina questioned.
George smiled at her, "That's the mentality to have!"
Angelina was starting to get red, "All right as fun as this conversation has been, I need to go to class."
"Party pooper!" Katie cried.
"Come on George we aren't going to be late AGAIN!" She pulled him off the bench and dragged him all the way until they were half way to Transfiguration.
"Whoa Angel calm down! No one is here to question you anymore!"
"Oh right, sorry George."
"It's alright; I do have one question for you though."
Oh boy! Angelina thought "Shoot!"
"Do you want to kiss Montague?" Guess I better know what I am up against.
Angelina stopped and stepped in front of George. She stared him straight in the eye. "If he even attempts to kiss me I will use the bat-bogey hex your sister is so found of! I am not catching Slytherin germs… YUCK!"
George laughed at her and pulled her into a hug "That's my Angel!"
The hug was unexpected for both of them but it just felt right. Angelina squeezed him tight. "Don't forget you have to beat his sorry arse if he does!"
"I wouldn't hesitate!" George laughed. They continued walking to Transfigurations together the rest of the way in comfortable silence.
