This chapter may start out a little bit boring, but believe me, something B I G happens
towards the end! But, I'm not telling! ^__^ Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday was one of the finest days I've seen. George and I may not be 'going out', but we learned an important thing or two! I am so happy to know he loves me, and I finally let him know how I feel! Things can't get any better! Well, expect for one thing. Potions in five minutes.
"Hey Alicia." Angelina comes into the dormitory, along with Katie.
"Hi!" I smile. "You ready for Potions?"
"Not really. But am I ever?" smiles Katie. "C'mon, we don't want to be late!"
I grabbed my Potions things off the drawer and ran along beside them. We scrambled through the portrait hole and walked briskly down toward the dungeons.
"So." begins Angelina. "How are things with George?"
"Great."
"You two make the best couple, you know? Fred says that George is really happy that you like him, and is practically bouncing off the walls. It probably took him hours to fall asleep last night!"
I laugh. But little does Angelina know I felt exactly the same. I reckon I didn't fall asleep untill two!
As we reach Potions, I open the door and take my seat beside George. He smiles at me and I return it happily, and he blushes a lighter shade of red than usual.
"Allright, class." says Professor Snape. "Today we shall be creating a Cleansing Potion. If made sucsessfully, which I doubt will happen, your potion shall clean anything you put in it to a normal state. Partner up."
I move toward George, and immediatly open up my copy of, 'Intermediate and Advanced Potion Making'.
"Let's see...." I say, fumbling through the pages. "Here it is! Cleansing Potion. We'll need, a salamanders tail, a pound of powdered beetles, thirteen shredded Mandrake roots, and one Hippogriff feather. Hopefully Snape is suppyling all of this!"
George smiles, and begins to reduce the beetles to powder, a rather disgusting job, might I add.
"So, whats new?" I ask him, as I began to shred Mandrake roots.
"Nothing really. Fred's been driving me nuts with tactics for that game against Hufflepuff in two weeks. I keep telling him, Hufflepuff is a pushover, but I think Wood's gotten to him."
I laugh as I pour the now well-shredded roots into the cauldron. "He's quite a good captain though, you must admit. And we did vote on him. He's being awful rough on Harry though. I'm glad I'm not Seeker, the outcome of the match really does depend on him."
George nodded, as he put the powder into our cauldron. "Harry can handle it though. He only lost us one match, and we still won the cup........"
He was cut off by Professor Snape, who was now approaching our work. "Powder those beetles more, Weasley." he said right before storming off to yell at Lee and Katie, for no good reason.
"They're perfectly fine, you old git." mumbled George, as he began powdering the beetles once more, this time quite violently.
"Oh, don't let him bother you. Like you said before, he only does that because we're in Gryffindor."
George smiled and nodded at me. "You're right." he said. "And this potion'll be fine. Or else, it better be!" We both laughed, and then looked at our watches. Right on cue, Professor Snape said, "Class dissmissed." George and I picked up our things, and immediatly set off for the common room.
We gave the Fat Lady the new password, Ticklish Turnips, and we set off to sit with our friends. And there, in our usual corner we saw Fred, Katie, Harry, Ron and Angelina talking.
"What's up?" I said, as George and I took two seats beside them all.
"Quidditch practice!" said Fred. "I've moved it from seven to now, since Snape didn't assign us any homework, and Sprout didn't give Ron and Harry any either."
"Now?" said George. "Come on, Fred! I mean, you've gone Quidditch crazy! We're prepared for the match! Like I've been saying, Hufflepuff is easy to beat!"
"Yes, but dear brother!" said Fred, broom in hand. "Hufflepuff has a new team and captain, as well as Seeker after, well, you know......." Everyone was really touchy about metioning Cedric, escpecially with Harry around.
"Allright now! Go get changed and grab your brooms! I expect you to be out in five minutes! Hurry now!"
I waved goodbye to George and ran upstairs with Angelina and Katie. "He's your boyfriend!" Katie was telling Angelina. "Convince him we know what we're doing!" Angelina smiled. "He's just doing his job as captain." She said.
After we'd gotten ready, the whole team was set out on the field. "Okay you lot." said Fred. "Let's fly a couple of laps around, now shall we?" After about three laps, I caught up with George and flew beside him and Ron.
"He's gone mad." said Ron. I laughed. The expression on Ron's face looked as if his brother had gotten sick in front of him.
"He's just doing his job as captain." said Angelina, as she caught up with us.
"Yeah." said Katie. "You're only saying that because he's your boyfriend. If George was captain, I'm sure Alicia would...."
"Oh, shut up!!!" I said laughing, pretending to give her a good kick in the side. She laughed and motioned for me to look to my left, I did and saw George holding his broom, looking down, rather red. I couldn't help it. I smiled.
After twenty-two laps, Fred called us down and unlocked the trunk containing the balls. Harry went after the Snitch, George and Fred chased after the Bludgers, and Angelina, Katie and I tried to score past Ron. George flew by us a couple of times, to knock away the Bludgers, while Harry spun around trying to find the Snitch, and once he even managed to knock off my glasses! After he apologized, I flew down to get them, but George beat me to it. He picked them up and ran for it. That's one thing I love about him. He loves to have fun. I chased after him, and knocked him to the ground.
"Give them back!" I said, laughing.
"Can you see?" He said.
"Up close I can. But who cares! Give 'em back George!" I couldn't stop from laughing. He put them on his face. I definetly couldn't control my laughter then.
"You....look....like...Percy!!!!!!!!"
"Ugh!" he said in disgust, and he placed them back on my face. I suddenly realized how close we were. I looked around. No one seemed to notice we were gone. He moved his hand from my glasses to my lips. He traced them a few times, and then leaned in, and kissed me.
Our kiss lasted for quite a few minutes. When we broke apart, we just layed there staring at eachother. After a while, we could hear a camera clicking. I jumped off of George and landed on my back in the grass. He got on his knees and pulled me up.
"Who's there?" he called. I could hear some giggles, then I heard someone running off. I jerked my head around, only to see a shadow running back towards the castle, and on the ground where we heard the clicking noise, a camera bag,
Someone had taken our picture.
