A Girl Named Hope: Chapter Thirty-Six: The Flat
The more George thought about, the more he couldn't stop thinking about it. Angelina would be moving in Fred once they'd graduated, so they were going to have a flat of their own, but George's would just be for himself.
His girlfriend still had two more years of school to complete before she was his completely…such were the trials of dating a younger woman.
But George couldn't quite bring himself to regret it, Hope was certainly something.
He could ask her to move in with him, she disliked her own relatives enough, but George wasn't sure if she would agree, but he was a Gryffindor, and Gryffindors didn't back down.
"That was one of your best," he chose to start with as they walked through the corridors hand in hand after concluding the last DA meeting before winter holidays.
"Was it?" Hope asked, her tone mild, her thoughts elsewhere.
George hummed in agreement, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, and then he pulled her to a stop, causing a pair of green eyes to flash to his in confusion. "George?"
"I want to ask you something," he told her suddenly, "and it's really important, well, I mean, it's really important to me, it might not be-"
"You're rambling," Hope was smiling at him. "What is it?"
George exhaled a loud sigh that sounded more like he was trying to calm himself than anything else. "I wanted to know…if you'd move in with me over the summer."
The green of her eyes filtered into hazel in her surprise and for a very long moment, it seemed, she did not speak, and then she said one word.
"Yes."
"I-what?" George started slightly at her answer. He'd honestly been expecting her to say no.
"Yes," she repeated, her voice breathless, "I will absolutely move in with you."
"Really?" He was now beaming widely at her, euphoria expanding inside him
"Really!" She laughed, flinging her arms around his neck and kissing him with so much force that George swore he saw stars.
AN: Alright, since I keep changing my mind, this is how it's going to be: Looking Beyond will not be deleted, Looking Beyond: Pandora's Box will be, when it reaches a certain point. I've decided I like having so many favourites, follows, and reviews to delete it. The plan is when Pandora's Box reaches a certain chapter number I will spend a day and replace the old Looking Beyond chapters with the new Looking Beyond ones, but it might be awhile yet before you get any new new chapters.
If you're lucky, I might update Pandora's Box a few times this weekend, but who really knows?
