Chapter Twenty Four - Trip III
George regretted not bringing some Dr. Filibuster's Fireworks, he was sure he could set them without muggles noticing. It would be a great display in the party.
He woke alone in the bed that sunday. They would be leaving before lunch but it was still pretty early. Feeling no more need to sleep, he walked to the bathroom but caught a conversation that wasn't for his ear coming from Higurashi-san's room.
"I'll never learn, mom, I'm just plain stupid."
"Loving someone is not stupidity, Kagome."
"It's too soon, mama, barely three months. But I can't help but love him." He heard her muffled cry and her mother's comforting words. Yet, the only thing that registered in his mind was that she loved him.
"I don't know why you are crying, Kagome-chan. You should be happy. Love isn't supposed to make you cry."
"What if he does not love me back, if things don't work out?"
"Still there's no reason for you to fear, dear. If things don't work between you and George, too bad. But you will never regret not loving him with all of your heart." A pause. He didn't know what they were doing, then Higurashi-san said. "If he breaks your heart, come home. We will sit under the Goshinboku, have a tea and you cry in my lap."
"I love you, mom. You are the best."
"I love you too, Kagome. Now go wash your face and go down to help me. The men must be waking up soon."
George silently walked back to Kagome's room and laid down. His mind processing what he heard. A small part of him offended by the lack of Kagome's trust in their relationship. He understood her, however. He was lucky to be away from the Weasleys, he remembered how long it took for his mom to trust Fleur's feelings, and they dated for over a year. She would be hexing Kagome he moment she discovered he was technically living with the girl. And it in less than a week after they started officially dating.
His musings made him lose the track of time and when it was almost nine o'clock Kagome came for him. They packed and had a pleasant brunch. Grandpa keep telling stories of ghosts and youkais, Kagome corrected most of them (he never imagined she knew so much about folk culture). Ms. Higurashi and Souta made him promise to come back soon. He felt really welcomed in this family. But a seed of homesickness has been planted in his chest.
Please, tell me what you think!
