Chapter 7

"There's an empty compartment here." I lead George into a comparment.
After he passed through the door he slammed the door behind him. George pressed me up against the wall breathing rather quickly. His lips met mine and I kissed back letting myself go. Suddenly there was a pounding on the door of the compartment. We abruptingly broke and I swung open the door.
"What do you want?" I opened the door after I angrily spoke.
"Thanks for the pleasant welcome." Jessie joked, "Busy?" she glanced at George who was now sitting down.
"Not any more." I spoke through clenched teeth.
"Have you seen Fred anywhere?"
"Yes, he is in the comartment across from here. Now will you please leave?"
"Fine, I just wanted to make sure you got here ok and now that I have I'll just leave."
"Thank you." I shut the door after her. "Where were we?" I slid to the seat mext to George clasping my arms around his neck.
"Not as far as we should've been." He teased.
I locked my lips with his and slid in my tongue then moved my arms down his side. My hands slid under his shirt and I pushed him down so he was laying on the seat. No matter how much I wanted him, I couldn't. It wasn't right, at least not here. I rather be like we were that night in my bedroom. I didn't want some spur of the moment fling so I stopped. I stood up and sat on the other side of the comartment. I brushed my hand through my hair, trying to straighten it.
"You're right." He started, "This isn't the right place to be doing this. We shouldn't cave into our sexual cravings."
"You felt that way to, huh?" I stood up and walked towards him, "When we do George I want it to be some place memorable, not some compartment on the Hogwarts Express."
George wrapped me in his arms and I enjoyed his understanding. I gave him another kiss on the cheek and then sat down, opened my sketch book from inside my bag and began to draw.
"What are you drawing?" George leaned in to see my picture but I blocked his view of it before he could see.
"Everything I can see. All my emotioons mixed in one final product." I explained.
"Can I see?"
"When I'm done I'll let you see."
With that George leaned backwards and closed his eyes. I could tell he was thinking, maybe about life ingeneral, or perhaps the future, maybe even me. I just continued drawing but I couldn't get it right at all so I put it aside for later.
"Done?" George raised his eye brow at me.
"Nah, it still needs a lot of work. I'm gonna nap, will you wake me up when we get about 30 minutes from Hogwarts?" I asked George then yawned slightly.
"Yes I will."
I leaned backwards and my head was in George's lap. He stroked my hair lightly trying to help me sleep. For some reason I wasn't as tired as I thought. I layed there with my eyes shut and I just thought about everything that occured to me this summer. First my father goes missing and my mother goes into depression. At one point my life was a bottomless hole of which I kept dropping pointlessly downward. That was until I met George, whom brought me back to the surface and even into the clouds. Maybe this is what love was supposed to be like. You feel as if you are higher than everyone and nothing can bring you down.
I seemed to be more tired than I expected because soon I was fast asleep. What seemed like minutes later I was awoken by the hushed conversation in the corner of the compartment. Right away I recognized George but it took me awhile to figure out who he was talking to. Then it hit me, Alicia Spinet, his ex-girlfriend was in our compartment. No! I was scolding myself for the thoughts that came into my head. What if he wasn't over her? No! He loves me I know he does. I hated myself for thinking he would betray me.
"I still love you George." Aliciasaid above a whisper.
"Alicia, you broke up with me. Obviously you don't." George remarked.
Good he won't give in I know he won't. But what about Alicia who knows what she'll do.
"Please George give me another chance." She pleased.
"I all ready found my-" but Alicia cut him off and kissed him.
It was not just a good-bye kiss that I wouldn't of minded but it was a full blow kiss. I was shocked because George didn't pull back. I ran, I shot up and sprinted down the hallway on the verge of tears. George stepped out of the compartment calling my name but I blocked hiim out of my mind. He had just kissed he ex-girlfriend right infront of me. I slowly stopped and tears were all ready streaming out of my eyes. George caught up with me with a concerned and hurt look. I stared him right in the eyes yet it was blury.
"Don't even talk to me!" I snapped as he opened his mouth to talk.
"Just listen to what I have to say." He pleaded almost in tears himself.
"I'm not dense George, I was sitting right there watching you. Why did you just stand there allowing her to kiss you like that?"
"You didn't see the whole thing did you?"
"I saw enough."
"She put a leg stiffening spell on me, Cassara. I couldn't move if my life depended on it, if you depended on it." He looked depp into my eyes.
Truth, I had to except it. His eyes were so sincere that I melted. I burst into even more tears and clasped my arms around his neck. my lips touched his skin until finally our lips met. I backed away just a few inches. There was something I needed to know.
"How is it that you could come chase me after I left?" I questioned.
"Alicia, she said the countercurse right as you left, I'm surprised that you didn't notice." He explained.
I kissed him again and practically lept back into his arms.
"I love you," he reassured, "and I'd never do anything to cause you pain."
"Oh George, I'm so sorry I ever thought you would do anything like this. I love you!"
"Come on, let's go back to the compartment and get settled back down. It's been a rough ride but we'll be just fine. Come on we're only about an hour away."
George nestled his arm around my shoulder and I, my head into his. Before we started walking back he took his other hand and whipped a tear from my eye. His touch made me feel all the much happier and I floated down the isle way. Finally we got back to our little compartment and sat onto a seat rather close.
"Want an every flavor bean?" he pushed a box in front of me.
"I will, but if I get a gross flavor like vomit, you have to give me a nice long kiss and tongue is not excluded." I grabbed a bean out of the box then placed it in my mouth. Darn it, chocolate.
"What flavor?" He asked.
"Chocolate." I sighed
He bent in and kissed me trying to getr some flavor of the bean from my mouth.
"What was that for?" I asked after he leaned back and licked his lips.
"Mmmm, hey if I have to have some nasty flavors I want some delicious ones too. My turn now... Ah, peppermint." I kissed him again trying to find any hint of peppermint. I finally broke away.
"Mmmm, now I taste of Chocolate peppermint." I laughed and grabbed another bean, yuck, black pepper.
"What flavor is it?" I didn't answer instead I kissed him. At first it was fine but then he backed away and coughed and grabbed his neck.
"You could kill someone when you do that!" HE said exasperated.
"Was it not delightful?"
"With you here of course it is." He kissed me again. Suddenly there was an announcement over the speaker system announce 10 minutes until we arrived at Hogwarts.
