The Woes of George Weasley
Chapter 5
Sasha sat in her room, crying her eyes out. She still hadn't got over George. As soon as she'd left Diagon Alley the night of the date, she'd run out of The Leaky Cauldron and into Muggle London. She had no idea where she was going, she just knew she had to get away. As she tired, she slowed to a walk, trying to get her bearings. Where am I? She thought desperately. She couldn't face going home, so she found a bench and sat to contemplate Life, The Universe and Everything (she hadn't quite understood the book by Douglas Adams when she'd read it). She gave up on that and reflected on the appalling date she'd just had. Why did George pull away from her like that? Didn't he like her? But surely he wouldn't have gone out with her if he didn't. Maybe he liked someone else?
She checked her watch. 1 am. She was getting tired. She checked no one was looking and Dissapperated.
Now, eight days later, she thought over the events on that night. Well, she thought, I can't mope around here forever.
I have to get out sometime. So she did. And the first place she went to was Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.
"Hi!" she said brightly as she walked in. If either Fred or George were shocked to see her, they hid it well.
"Sasha my dear! It's so good to see you. How you doing?" asked Fred.
"Fine thanks, she said laughing. "I was just wondering if you've got any new products?"
"As a matter of fact, we do," said Fred. "Weasley's Colourarma Balls - balls of multicoloured paint that you chuck at people!" He said gleefully.
"Ohhh, nice! I'll take four boxes please."
She paid and left the shop, leaving George very confused.
"Apparently, she's got over you." Said Fred. George nodded and went through to the small kitchen they had at the back of the shop to make some strong coffee. Why had Sasha just ignored him like that?
She's still pissed off at you, said the small voice in the back of his head. Can you possibly blame her after the way you treated her?
"Oh, shut up," said George.
"What? I didn't say anything!" said Fred.
A month passed, and neither Sasha or Nikki had set foot in the shop. As the twins were closing, Nikki went running in.
"Hiya! Can I just quickly get a Fake Wand?" she asked.
"Sure. You go," George said to Fred, "I'll be home in a minute."
Nikki picked out a wand and paid for it. This is my chance, thought George, ask her now!
"Erm, Nikki, I was just wondering, would you like to go out sometime? With me, I mean," he said. Nikki blushed.
"I'd love to."
George couldn't believe his luck! They discussed when and where they would meet, and Nikki left. As George locked up, he didn't notice Sasha Dissapperate.
As soon as he got home, he told Fred everything. He kept getting up and walking to the window, then sitting down, then getting up again.
"For God's sake stop moving! You're making me feel seasick!" Fred said with a chuckle. He'd never known George to be so excited.
The day of The Big Date came. George decided he would wear something smart, but casual. He picked out a clean pair of jeans and a blue shirt. As he waited for Nikki outside The Leaky Cauldron, he began to feel very anxious. This was it! He was (hopefully) going to kiss Nikki, something he'd been dreaming of for a long time. As she walked up to him, his mouth dropped open. She was wearing a pale green dress, which suited her slightly curvy figure perfectly, and had a white silk scarf daintily draped around her shoulders. Her make-up was natural, and she wore her hair in loose curls.
"Hello George," she said as she approached him.
"Hhhi, you look, you look, wow," he managed to say.
"Thanks. So, where are we going?
"You'll see," George said mysteriously. He led her to a part of Diagon Alley that she had never been to before. It was shabby, and there was a tiny building which looked like it belonged on the corner of a rough part of London. The sign once said 'The Beach House', but half the letters were missing.
Nikki looked confused, but George just smiled at her and led her through the door.
She gasped. The door led to a beach of beautiful white sands. A waiter came up to them.
"May I help you sir?" he asked George.
"Yes, I booked a table for 8:00."
"May I take your name please?"
"Weasley. Table 14 I believe," said George. The waiter checked his list and led them to their table. George grinned at Nikki, who looked amazed.
"Oh George, it's wonderful! I never knew this place existed." She said to him.
"Neither did I 'till last week. Hermione read about it in some book. What would you like to eat? Apparently the Crab is excellent."
They had the most wonderful night. They talked about everything; family, friends, the shop, their childhood
and their plans for the future; and as the sun set, they shared their first kiss.
What appears once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?
I know it's easy, but I like this riddle, because it's one of the only one's I've actually solved!!
