Three days later, Alicia sat rigidly and looked at Katie expectantly. Katie
had sought her out desperately in the midst of dusty spell books and huge
shelves, overcame by guilt and told her that she could explain everything.
Alicia doubted she could but decided to give her a chance. It wasn't like she would be feeling much better sitting by herself and sulking. Katie sighed, "You know I don't fancy George."
Alicia raised an eyebrow in mock surprise, "Then why did you two…" she trailed off, still too hurt to recall the scene she had witnessed just now.
Katie shrugged helplessly, "I don't know…I guess I just miss Oliver." (A/N: Sorry…couldn't resist.)
"Oh, you miss Oliver and decided to kiss my boyfriend?"
"His eyes were brown like his…!"
"Nice excuse!" Alicia snapped.
"Look, just know that that kiss meant nothing."
Katie gave up and left the table, leaving Alicia alone with reluctant tears in her eyes.
She didn't know what to do now that she knew Katie wasn't totally at fault. Oliver's eyes were a little like George's now that she thought about it. A little part of her brain tempted her to get back at George by making out with some guy but Alicia pushed it away. That was stupid and immature.
She rose to return the books to their former places when Angelina appeared.
"Hello, Alicia. Feeling better?"
At the sight of the one person who didn't betray her, she started to cry.
Angelina looked surprised for a moment before sitting beside her and patted her back awkwardly, unsure of what to do since she hadn't experience what Alicia was going through but she could imagine how much it would hurt. If Fred ever did that…she shuddered. He never would or she'll make sure he'll be incapable of reproducing in future.
She shook herself out of her digressing thoughts and comforted her friend, "Come on Alicia, I'm sure he didn't mean it. He's probably kicking himself right now for doing such a stupid thing. And Katie…"
"It wasn't Katie's fault, she just misses Oliver," Alicia interrupted.
Angelina felt hugely relieved now that she didn't have to actually side against one of her closest friends now that Alicia seemed to have forgiven Katie.
"I suppose," she answered.
"It's that stupid George. He is a stupid, insensitive, uncaring and annoying pest who…"
Someone cleared his throat uncomfortably. Alicia scowled when she saw George who was shuffling nervously and looking down at the floor.
Angelina gave Alicia a last pat on her back and secretly sent George an encouraging smile before disappearing from the library.
'No doubt going to find Fred to have one of their perfect-relationship sessions,' Alicia thought.
George nervously sat down in front of her and tentatively tried to start a conversation.
"Alicia, it is close to Christmas…and I don't want to be fighting with anyone," he started.
Alicia's hostile look darkened and George quickly amended, "Especially you. Please…I'm really, really sorry."
Alicia didn't reply. She just looked away from George but not before he caught a glimpse of a tear escaping her glistening eyes. He felt his heart ache terribly for hurting her like that. He didn't like seeing her cry. She was the first girl he ever fell in love with and he had vowed determinedly a few months back that he would personally cause physical damage to the person who dared hurt her. He knew it was sappy but he couldn't help the protectiveness he felt when it came to Alicia. Now, it appeared that he was the offender. He reached out to take her hand but she pulled it back from him. That rejection was like a slap in his face, but he knew he deserved it. "Alicia…it's been three days. I miss you!"
She turned to face him but before she could say anything a seventh year male Hufflepuff appeared before their table.
"Hey Alicia," he said.
She nodded her acknowledgement, "Hi Eric."
George eyed him with dislike and inwardly admitted, although rather reluctantly that he was quite good-looking and he didn't want anyone like him approaching his girl.
Eric saw his unwelcoming expression and decided to talk to Alicia in private instead of risking being beaten up by the scowling boy near him.
"Can I talk to you for a little while?"
Alicia nodded and got out of her seat, following him to a secluded part of the library, out of her jealous boyfriend's sight.
George strained to see the two of them but couldn't. He frowned. He did not like that Eric guy and he was positive he was flirting with Alicia right now. It was a while before Alicia emerged with Eric smiling behind her. Alicia waved to him as he headed out of the library and turned back to George.
"Who was that?"
"Eric Sanders." (A/N: random name)
"I mean how do you know him?"
"Family acquaintance."
"What did he want?"
"Homework stuff."
"Homework? He is a year older than us!"
Alicia glared at him and collected the pile of books, rising from her seat once again.
George stopped her before she could leave. "Wanna go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?"
As suspected, Alicia became quite uncomfortable and avoided his eyes, "I can't," she replied before rushing out of the library.
George narrowed his eyes, so that idiot had asked her out that weekend.
He kicked the table in anger driven by jealousy and echoed Alicia's footsteps, leaving the library and intending to put a stop to her big date that weekend by talking some sense into her.
A/N: I HATE THIS CHAPTER!!!! It is so…so…not nice…!!! There isn't any quality in it at all!!!
I didn't want to bring Oliver in but I'm too influenced by my other stories. I do not like this chap…maybe I should have hatched a plot before starting a new story. The current plot is so common…I have no idea where I am supposed to go with this. Ideas, anyone?
Thanks for reviewing!!! I'm flattered that a couple of George/Alicia experts like PotterPrincess and Piccolopiggy actually found the time to read this icky plotless story. =] Thank you to Gambit and Wolvie Gals for being such a nice reviewer and reviewing all my stories. Luya for giving this story compliments! SnickleFritz, you really DO review all my stories. Missy!!! You can't stop reading the other story there!!! Especially chapter 17…that is so far the best chapter if you are an Oliver fan!!! If you want, you can go straight to chapter 17…trust me…it's kissy…did that make sense? Lol…And thank you SOOO much for reviewing all my stories!!!
