Chapter 24

A few days later and it was time to go back to Hogwarts nothing more than a few hugs had occurred between Jackie and George since the near kisses on Christmas Day they hadn't had any time to spend alone together.

"Here we go guys" Jackie said tiredly as she led them into a compartment on the Hogwarts express,

"are you two sure that you don't want me to leave you alone?" Fred asked with a wink but before George could respond Angelina and Lee had stepped inside and taken seats beside the three.

"Hey guys, how was your Christmas?" Angelina asked as she looked at Jackie hopefully,

"I have a lot to tell you when we get to Hogwarts" Jackie whispered as she leaned over George to reach Angelina,

"Oh I can't wait to hear about it" Angelina answered giggling as Jackie lent back into her seat beside George who was smiling away to himself.

"So did you do it did you make your move?" Lee asked George as he jumped down onto his bed once they arrived back at Hogwarts.

"Did he heck he chickened out" Fred told Lee.

"Hey ok fair enough I did first time but then every time I tried to kiss her you kept bloody interrupting didn't you!" George exclaimed.

"How was I supposed to know that's what you was doing?" Fred exclaimed as he looked at his twin.

"So spill what happened are you two together" Angelina asked,

"No but we nearly kissed twice!" Jackie exclaimed,

"Wow really how come you didn't?" Angelina said intrigued with what had gone on.

"Well every time we got close we got interrupted then after Christmas day we didn't get any time alone so nothing even came close to happening after that" Jackie told her with a sad smile.

"Don't worry Jackie you'll be together in no time" Angelina told her as she walked over to her bestfriend.

"Well why don't you ask her out on a date now that we are back at school?" Lee said as he looked at him,

"An where am I going to take her the Astronomy tower! We can't go to Hogsmeade until third year" George said with a sigh.

"George are you forgetting what we have!" Fred said as he took out the Marauder's map and passed it to his brother.

"Fred your bloody brilliant how could I not think of that!" George exclaimed as he jumped up from his bed and went to run out of the room.

"Where you going?" Fred shouted out the door,

"Asking her out!" George exclaimed grinning widely as he carried on down the dormitory steps.

"Jackie!" George shouted up the stairway to the girl's dormitory knowing that the charms meant he was unable to climb the steps to the girls room himself.

"Yes George?" Jackie asked sticking her head out of the door.

"Can I talk to you a minute?" George asked,

"Sure what's up?" Jackie asked as she rushed downstairs in her pyjama's.

"Cute pyjama's" George said as he smiled at her.

"Thanks" Jackie said as she blushed pink. "So what is it you needed to talk to me about?" she asked as she looked at him. George took her hand and led her over to the couch thankful that no one else was around.

"Will you go on a date with me?" George asked slightly nervous as he looked at her.

"Oh my god are you serious!" Jackie exclaimed excitedly "err I mean yes I'll go on a date with you" she finished trying to compose herself. George laughed and smiled at her.

"Cool then I'll be taking you out Saturday after the Quidditch match" George said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek "by the way I am serious" he whispered in her ear.

"Goodnight George" Jackie said smiling happily as she went to go back upstairs to the dorms,

"Goodnight Jackie I'll see you in the morning" George said he kissed her softly on the cheek once more before watching her leave and leaving for his own room.

"So?" Angelina asked,

"Yeah what did he want?" Alicia asked,

"He's taking me on a date after the game on Saturday!" Jackie said excitedly as she looked at the girls.

"Oh my god that's great!" Angelina exclaimed as the three girls started to jump up and down while still hugging one another.

"Go Well?" Fred asked with a smirk as George came back into the room grinning from ear to ear.

"We have a date on Saturday" George told them smiling.

"Erm George what about the game?" Fred asked confused.

"After the game you idiot!" George laughed at his brother just as Charlie came in.

"Hey Charlie what can we do to help you?" Fred and George asked as Charlie sat down on Fred's bed.

"Well I just came to see if it was true?" Charlie said smirking as he looked at the youngest twin.

"What's that then?" George asked with a smile.

"That you have been using that book and have asked Jackie on a date?" Charlie said.

"That's right. Blimey news travels quickly" George said with a laugh.

"Hello have you not heard those girls they are squealing and jumping around like ever before. Until Percy told them he would go to McGonagall!" Charlie explained as he looked at them.
