I am so mad at Lee! Well, allright it is my fault to have left my notebook lying around in our dormitory, but c'mon! He had no buisness at ALL to take it and read it! What was in it you ask? Oh nothing, execpt for pages and pages filled with 'I Love Alicia'! If Lee had shown her, I would've died! I have a big crush on her, and really didn't want to be embarrased. Well, now Lee knows who I like, and I made him swear not to tell anyone, and if he knows what's good for him he won't!
As I sit on my bed, I let my gaze travel around the empty room. Fred and Lee are in the common room, playing Exploding Snap with Harry and Ron, I presume. But I have better things to think about. Alicia. She's so pretty, with her short brown hair and eyes. If I could just tell her, without being embarassed. If I asked someone to do it for me, they'd probably mess it up, so I keep it to myself. But sometimes I wonder if she likes me back. She blushes alot around me and seems uncomfortable at first, but then we talk and joke around like always. I talked to her at Quidditch today and blushed a little. I could feel it. I hate that feeling!
I let my gaze continue going around the room, untill I spot the clock. Lunch is due in five minutes. I hop up and exit the dorm, shutting the door behind me. As I walk through the common room, I stop and listen to Angelina and Katie.
"......wouldn't even come out of the dormitory. She's really upset."
"I wonder what's wrong! She hasn't said a word to us all day. I feel so bad......."
"Hello." I nod as I pass them. Were they talking about Alicia? That may be true, I can't see her in here anywhere. Maybe I should visit her. Even if I'm not allowed in her dormitory, she sounds pretty down.
I walked to the right and up a flight of stairs to reach a door with a bronze sign reading, 'SEVENTH YEAR GIRLS'. I slowly knocked twice on the door, only to hear a muffled, "Go away", from Alicia. 'Wow'. I think to myself. 'She really is upset.' I knock again.
"I said go away. Who is it?" She wasn't yelling. She just said all of it kind of muffled and sniffly.
"George." I say uncertainly. "Can I come in?"
There was silence for a while untill I hear footsteps drawing near. I let go of the handle as Alicia opened it.
Then I saw she was worse then I presumed. She wasn't crying, but had long stains on her face which showed she had been, very hard and for a very long time. Her lip trembled and she kept looking away from me and bouncing on her heels.
"What's wrong Alicia? Are you okay?" I wanted to hold her then and there, and make sure she was okay.
"G...George I really need to talk to you." She says, leading me in the room and shutting the door.
The girls dormitory isn't much diffrent from us boys'. There are five beds, and the room is circular and scarlet.
We both sit down on her bed, the farthest to the left, and she turns to me.
"George. That notebook. What was it about?"
"Um. You mean the one with Lee?"
"Yes. That one."
"Well, first let me make a deal with you." I really don't want to embarass myself here! "If you tell me what you think, I'll answer that allright?"
"Oh okay." sighed Alicia. "But I was kind of hoping you could just tell me."
"But," I could feel myself blushing madly. "I really don't want to embarass myself......and...."
"I understand." she nodded. "It's about a girl, right?"
I nodded slowly. She bit her lip and I could see tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"'Licia, what's.....?"
"No, George." she said, shaking her head from side to side. "I'm sorry really. I never should've brought you in on this. No, I should've told you when I realized it. Then none of this would've happened." She wiped away tears and looked at her bedspread for awhile. Then finally, she brought her eyes up to mine. "So." she said. "Who's the lucky girl?"
I was shocked. Did she.......was Alicia........did Alicia like *me*? Had she been crying because she reckoned I liked someone else? It suddenly came to me. 'George you prat.' I thought. 'She's loved you all along. All along and you never knew it!'
"You, Alicia." I told her. "You're the lucky girl."
She looked up at me suddenly. "You....you mean? George, you like me? I mean, l..love me?"
I nodded. "Do you love me back?" I asked her. I was suddenly feeling very brave and happy.
She nodded too, and threw her arms around me laughing. "Oh George!" she said. "All this time I've been in here crying, thinking you loved someone else! How long?" she asked me.
"Since third year pretty much." I said. I loved that feeling then. I had Alicia in my arms. The whole world just seemed to stop.
"Me too!" she said. She broke from my grasp and looked at me, smiling. We were so close. So close I could.........
Suddenly, the door opened. "Hey Alicia?" called a voice. We jerked our heads around quickly only to see Angelina and Katie looking at us.
"George! Alicia!" said Katie. "Oh, I always knew you two'd get together!" Alicia looked unsure of how to handle this matter.'Why does everyone have to come in on my romantic moments?' I thought.
"Well, well, well!" said Angelina. "Don't worry we won't say a word! C'mon, lunch started ten minutes ago! You'll have to eat fast! Well, you boys always do now don't you?" She smiled at me and turned to leave the room, dragging Katie with her. Alicia and I got up slowly. She gently put her hand in mine and squeezed it, but let go as she opened the door and walked beside me in the empty common room.
"Let's not tell anyone for awhile, allright George? I mean, other then Angelina and Katie, you can tell Fred and Lee if you want to, but no one outside our little circle yet, okay?"
I smiled. "Okay." I said. She was made for me. She was the only person besides Lee and Fred who knew about the pact us boys made in our first year, to tell each other everything. My dream came true, I thought as I entered the Great Hall. Alicia Spinnet loved me back, and nothing at all could ruin my day.

Yay! George and Alicia forever! Chapter 3 should be up in a few days, not
to worry! It's coming!
