(a/n): Well with such a demand for George and Katie, I decided to add a small side step here with them. You're right! I need to do more with them in this don't I! Please!! I LIKE these sort of comments! It lets me know whom I should be writing more about! I love the pairings here… well more so George and Katie and you all are right, they get over shadowed by Fred a lot so! With the demands of the readers they will be answered here in chapter 6! So, with out further delay… I give you Chapter 6: George's Dilemma.

---------------------------------------------------------------------



He had gotten his twin brother back to the common rooms with the help of Katie Bell. George felt almost exhausted after hauling the boy up the steps form the dungeon and all the way to the common rooms. Fred was almost fighting the trip for more then half the way. But they had gotten the simply livid with jealousy boy to the common rooms and under the watchful eyes of Lee and Jade.

It seemed to take forever but the four of them got the boy calmed down enough to keep him in his seat. "Really now Fred, just set down and think things through. Your acting like he proposed to her!" Lee Jordan said from across Fred.

Fred was seated, for the time being, and tapping his fingers on the sofa's arms, glaring at it. "I want to know what she was asked. That's all. I just don't understand it at all. She won't talk to me, she wont listen to me, nothing. I cant tell her what she want's to hear, and I just don't know what to do to make her realize she's -wrong-." And with this he was up again. But this time the others couldn't stop him and his pacing. He had gotten up and headed for the door to exit the common rooms.

George had jumped up and called "Oiy! Fred! Where are you going?" but Katie reached up and garbed his wrist.

"Let him go George. He won't do anything rash. Perhaps he just needs some time alone?" she said softly, Jade Summers and Lee Jordan both nodding in agreement to the girls statement.

George sat down again frowning as Fred stepped out of site and out of the common rooms altogether. "I suppose your right."

The four sat in an awkward silence for a few more minutes, just looking at each other until Katie gave a great sigh. "Well I'm not going to wallow here any longer. I have some homework to finish up." With this she stood and was about to leave the group her self when George caught her attention again.

"Mind some company?" He said raising form his chair. Sad brown eyes shined as he looked over at Katie. She gave a soft smile and simply nodded lightly. She wouldn't deny him his request. The two of them left Lee and Jade where they had found them in the first place.

Katie and George headed outside of the common rooms and into the halls. The boy had stepped up beside Katie, silent and watching the floor as he walked, not watching where he was going at all. "You okay?" She asked him after a few moments time.

George blinked then looked up, giving off a grand Weasley Petitioned smile. "Of course I'm all right. Just, well perhaps a bit tired. You know that early morning Practice we had and classes and all. Perhaps I might go to bed early tonight. So… what is it you needed to do? Homework you said?" he rambled in a goodhearted way as he decided he needed to take his mind off his twins problems. After all, they were Fred's problems, not his.

She gave a short snorting laugh and shook her head, linking one arm through his to steer him towards the Library. "You can't lie to me George Weasley. This has got your really upset."

"Yes, well, as I keep telling my self, it's not my problem. It's his." He let the girl guide him to the hell of a study place… the Library! But he didn't mind. He may make a fuss about it later but for now it was all right.

"What ever you say George, but I know your upset. I can tell. I haven't heard one joke out of you since class."

"Well if its jokes you want I have a Million of th---mmmm" He was muffled by a thin hand creeping over his lips and a stern look from Katie.

"I didn't mean you should start a stand up comedian routine you know." She gave a soft laugh as his lips still moved under her hand, as if he was bound and determined to finish or even start a joke.

"mmhhmm mmm mmum mmhmm hmm hmmm mmhaahm!" He said under her hand before stopping his murmurs and.. Pulling his head back slightly, gave a kiss to the palm of her hand and then a smile, watching as her hand retracted in a almost split instant.

She had returned her hand to her side, swiping the wetness from his mummers and kiss off onto a hip, turning to continue on walking into the library its self, her face an interesting shade of crimson.

"Gah I said.. that I wouldn't tell a joke as long as you removed your hand." A playful grin over his freckled face as he followed her into the library.

He went over to the normal table that he would find Katie at if she were hiding again. Katie often hid in the Library when she was starting to slack in her homework. She was one of those students that felt a B was a horrid grade, and must keep complete A's or else suffer a huge breakdown.

She had to keep her high grades in order for her father to even allow her to continue playing Quidditch, the sport that was slowly becoming her life. Katie had come to the table that George now sat at lazily, and dropped a stack of books on it. The redness of her face had disappeared finally and she had gone back to the comfortable state in her life.

"Want to help me with tomorrow's potions assessment. Since your so good with that class." She said giving him a soft praise.

"Nope! I think you should suffer through it all on your own." He said as he grabbed one of the books and started flipping through it to find part of the research that she would need. Believe it or not, George had already finished this assigned assessment yesterday. Hay, he may be a wise cracker but he kept up on his study. I didn't say he did it well though. Half-assed is better then nothing at all you know. "Though I would rather sweep you off your feet and take you flying." He said as almost an after thought.

This brought a stunned silence form the girl as she sat down next to him, eyes blinking madly as she didn't quite know what to say to that.

Hell George didn't even know what to say after that. He raised his head and blinked. "Did I say that out load?"

She nodded.

He looked at her for a few minutes longer, and frowned, or tried to at least. Katie Bell, when did you turn into such a Girl?"

"I am not "such a gir-" Oh wait, that was a complement wasn't it?"

He gave a short nod, "That's what it was meant to be at least. Would you have rather me said that you have a cute Nose. I admire your nose. It adds balance to your face?"

Well she had to laugh at that slightly, giving off a small chuckle. "No, that's all right, unless you want me to say 'oh gee thanks, I like my nose too'."

He laughed softly too and shook his head, leaning forward in one fluid movement to place a soft kiss on her nose. Just a peck of a kiss, nothing big you know, for he pulled back in a second afterwards with a bright smile. "It is a cute nose."

Katie blinked madly for a moment, visibly flustered. She watched him for a moment as if stuck in time and unknowing what to say next.

She didn't have to say anything though, George played it off as if that was a normal thing. And back a few years ago it was normal, or at least licking a person on the nose or cheek was normal. I guess it's different when it's a kiss to the nose instead of a lick. "So! Lets get this potions research finished shell we?" and he started pointing out pages to her, continuing on as if nothing happened.

She too let the sudden change in emotions wash over her as she moved her seat slightly closer to him, reading what his fingers would point out and the likes. With out thinking, she would lean into him after a while of boring reading, as if he were a life support for her.

Things seemed to go fairly well the rest of that evening. Katie and George were working together silently, both unknowing how comfortable they were so close to each other. Only time would tell what would happen with these two.
