Chapter 14- Making Plans

There were now only about four days left of school, until Alicia was able to leave and see George. She still didn't know what she would say when she got there… hell, he probably wouldn't even want to talk to her. She thought about writing a note to Fred, and talk to him about her concerns… maybe she would, but not just yet. She took out a quill and began to write in a small black book with silver writing on the cover.

Dear Diary,

Today was a usual hellhole. Okay, sorry about the swearing, but it was. I miss George so much, and I have no idea what to do with myself. What came over me at that moment, when we were so close… what came over me after he had explained his love to me, I just don't know. I'm so confused, and I'm scared. Much more frightened than any fear of commitment. Why, this feeling is far worse. I feel like I lost something so big in my life, that without it I'm drowning.

What if George never wants to speak to me again? Life is no fairy tale, no stupid little story that ends with, 'and they lived happily ever after'. What if I don't live happily ever after? The only way would to be with George… I don't know how stupid I could have been, seeing as though I wasn't sure of it before.

All right, so you want to hear about my day? I'll tell you:

Wake up. Miss George.

Eat Breakfast. Drop toast and marmalade because it makes me think of George.

Go to potions. The wild red cabbage made me think of George. His hair… you know? Like usual, Snape was an ass. He made me think of George too… George would be speaking up to him, telling him to leave me alone.

Go to Divination. Frienze sort of scares me. Professor Treelawney was back to teach with Frienze… George always thought she was an old bat. She told me I would die alone. George would have laughed. What if I do die alone? Without George?

Have lunch. All the food reminds me of Fred. Fred reminds me of George. Small world.

Break. Talk to Lee while Katie is with Angelina. Lee was George's best friend. That made me sad when I talked to him… hey, come to think about it, I talked to Lee at lunch too… I realized that god, it is a small world. Coincidence? I think not.

Transfiguration with Angelina. I remembered when George came to meet me after McGonagol talked to me about sending that half animal thing on a Huffelpuff… it wasn't my fault. Even George said so. Thought about George all class. My lamp turned into a toucan. He was a redhead… seriously. He had a tuft of red hair. I don't know how that happened. McGonagol seemed pleased though. She thought that I should be some sort of Transfiguration person… I just thought of George

Herbology with Katie. Katie likes herbology. She's a bit of a dumb blonde, but we all love her anyways. Dumb made me think of George. He could be pretty thick. Love also made me think of George. I ended up killing my plant by making it choke on the lettuce I was feeding it. I only realized it was dieing when it started making a choking noise and I snapped out of my thoughts and looked down. Lettuce was still sticking out of its mouth, and it coughed and made an awful retching noise. Then it just keeled over, its fat little leaves sticking out of its ugly black stomach, and its wrinkled white face screwed up like it has constipation. Katie took it pretty hard. I started thinking about George again, and started shoving lettuce into other fat plants mouths.

Dinner. I wasn't hungry. Katie didn't want to talk. I think she was still sad over that stupid plant. Her not talking made me think of George… would he not want to talk to me?

Went up to my room. Sat on bed for a while, thinking about George, and everyone else went to bed. N

ow I'm here. Writing to you. Thinking about George. This isn't healthy.

So… what do you think about my day? Oh… now your not answering me, are you? … … … Well fine. Don't answer then. I don't care. I hope George doesn't act like you. Yeah. Well I'm going to go now. Bye. Why say bye anyways? You're not answering me. That's right. I'll just leave. I'll slam you shut. That'll make me feel better, you evil, evil book.

Alicia slammed the diary shut. She shoved it onto her bedside table and lay back in her bed. School was almost over. After she slept tonight there would be only three days. Three awful, stomach churning days. Her guilt was making her shake. It made her feel cold. She heard the thunder roll around in the clouds. It was going to rain. The sky felt like her eyes. Pouring water, and drenching the ground. Weighing her down, and carrying the weight of the world.

…………………………………

George lay awake in bed. He didn't want to think about Alicia anymore… he had a job now, money, and everything that he wanted. Everything he would have wanted a couple years ago. He sighed.

Why now? Why did he have to realize that jobs and money meant nothing, now? Why not before? Now that he had what he wanted, he still found himself unhappy. He realized what he wanted now that he couldn't have it. He realized that love was the only thing that would make him happy, and the only person he could love was Alicia.

……………………………….

"All right, so what's going on with you? You're usually ecstatic the last week of school, hopping around and giving people hugs every time they walk by… and now this. The strong, silent, Alicia. The Alicia who looks at her shoes and pretends that she doesn't exist. What is this all about?" Asked Angelina, writing up Quidditch plans.

"Why are you still writing Quidditch plans?" Asked Alicia, ignoring the question. "School's out."

"There's always next year… I want to be on top of things." Angelina said, flipping through her notes.

"I know that this isn't on subject right now or anything, but do you think Fred and George are doing good with their new shop?" Asked Katie, examining the windowsill which had a ladybug, crawling over it. She stopped it with her finger so that it turned and crawled back towards her. "I mean, we haven't really heard from them, have we? But we will… when school's out. I bet they just don't want to write back to Hogwarts."

Alicia looked out the window. "Yeah, they sure were a hit when they were here at school. They'll be doing fine." She said, wishing that what she was saying were true.

……………………………………….

"Look at what I bought us!" Fred said, stomping into the store and walking over to his brother who was counting money at the cashier.

"We were on break for ten minutes and you've already about something… all right, lets see it." George said, looking up and putting his hands on the side of the counter, leaning forward in a relaxed state. He pushed his red hair back out of his eyes, and it flopped back down in his face again. "Well?"

Fred grinned and lifted up two green jackets, with some sort of bumpy complexion on them. "These." He said, staring at them in wonder.

"Oh… well isn't that nice… what the hell are they?" George said in a sarcastic tone. He picked up the sleeve of the jacket and ran his thumb over the material. "I like the colour."

"Thought you would. Nice green, isn't it? Must have been a good looking dragon." Fred said, smiling.

"WHAT?" George said, leaning forward and staring at the jackets.

"That is right! What you are thinking is so very true!" Fred said, a grin still spread across his face as his brother inspected the jackets. "Genuine dragon hide!"

George stood there, mouth gaping.

"We needed to treat ourselves to something… we will be looking pretty sharp with expensive dragon hide jackets, I must say." Fred said. He threw the jacket at George. "Well then, stop looking like an idiot and put it on."

George and Fred both pulled on the jackets and looked at each other, because it was much like looking at a full sized mirror, with minor differences.

"Sharp." Fred said, nodding.

"I agree." Said George. "Lets open shop, then?"

"Okay." Said Fred, opening the door and changing the closed sign to open.

…………………………….

"Can you believe it? Last day already…" Yawned Katie, crawling out of bed and then stretching. "C'mon Lich… up and at 'em."

Alicia jumped out of bed.

"Whoa! Am I seeing straight? Alicia is awake in the early bits of the morning?" Katie mocked, wearing a shocked expression.

"I've been lying awake for a bit…" Alicia admitted.

"Hmm… reasonable abnormal behaviour." Angelina said, also crawling out of bed.

"Lets go to breakfast… what do you say?" Alicia asked, pointing toward the door.

"Okay." Katie and Angelina said in unison, walking out of the door with Alicia and down the stairs to breakfast to meet Lee, who was already sitting there, eating his bacon. (A/N: I hope everyone BY NOW understands, that Lee loves bacon… Hehehe)

Alicia sat down and ate a piece of toast, feeling happier than she did in a long while. Tonight, she would see George again. The thoughts of how he would react, crossed her mind, but it didn't ruin her happy spirits.

Later that day, she sat down on the couch in the Common Room, while people bustled around, talking and joking with their friends. She took out a quill and began to write:

Go to Diagon Alley. Get to the post office and send mum an owl telling her where I am. Go to number 93. (A.k.a. Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.) Confess to George that you love him.

She paused and bit her lip for a moment, looking at what she had just written. 'Confess to George that you love him.' How the hell was she going to pull that one off? She bit her lip and thought of his face, his eyes, and his hair. His laugh, his smile, and his sense of humour.

'It'll just come to me,' She thought, 'I know it…'

She threw down her quill and shoved the paper deep in her pockets. Then she closed her eyes and took it out again, ripping it up.

"I don't need plans to tell me what to do." She whispered to herself, throwing the remains into the fire. Then she went upstairs and started packing her bags with Angelina and Katie.

………………………………………

George smiled as he pulled on his Dragon skin jacket and walked down the stairs into the empty shop that was closed for the day.

"All sold out of fireworks…" Fred muttered to him, looking around the shelves.

"We'll make more of them later." Said George. "Right now, we're going to meet Ron, Harry, and Ginny at the station, with mum and some people from the order. Then, when we come back, you can send this freaking note back to those stupid people down at 'Hardens' that we are NOT going to be giving them any of our merchandise, no matter how much money they will give for it!"

Fred nodded. "All right."

Fred walked over to the desk and grabbed some money, shoving it into his wallet. George did the same. Then, they both walked out of the shop and locked the door behind them, heading for King's Cross, Platform 9 and ¾.

……………………………………

The train was bumping along the tracks, as Alicia looked out the window. Katie was talking to lee and Angelina was deep in her planning book. Lee kissed Katie's cheek and then said, "I think I'm going to go see what some of the first years are doing…"

Alicia gave him a warning look and Lee shrugged.

"I cant help wanting to go see my… good friends." Lee said.

Alicia stifled a laugh. "Ha." She said sarcastically. "As long as you don't do anything to them that they're parents will freak out for, Lee Jordan, then go right ahead. Just… don't go turning them into something odd. All right?" She asked, smirking up at him.

Lee laughed. "I'll try."

Lee left and both Angelina and Katie stared at Alicia. Angelina had immediately slammed her planner shut, as though she had been waiting to do that the whole time, and Katie looked as though she had already been watching Alicia for quite some time.

"Whoa… please, don't freak me out…" Alicia said, looking at the two of them.

"Something's up." Katie said immediately, in a serious voice. "All of the sudden you're super happy, I'll-decide-to-act-regular-and-taunt-Lee-Fred-and-George, Alicia. Not the Alicia we've known for the past few days. That, I'm-going-to-sit-here-and-be-quiet-while-I-stare-at-my-shoes, Alicia."

"Yeah… what's going on with you?" Asked Angelina.

Alicia sighed. "Nothing… and if there is something, you'll know when you know." She said.

"OKAY. TELL US NOW!" Boomed Katie, far from her usual, sweet and dumb blonde voice.

Alicia raised an eyebrow. "Fine. I- well what I mean to say is that- well how I can put this is-…" She stuttered.

Katie gave her a warning look.

"Okay, okay. I'm in love with- someone." Alicia said.

"Oh… you mean George?" Asked Angelina softly, throwing up a hand. "Yeah, whatever… we all knew that. Now tell us what's wrong."

Alicia looked shocked. "You knew I-…"

"Well quite frankly, I think we knew before you even did." Said Angelina, staring out the window.

"Oh uh…" Alicia couldn't quite remember what they we're talking about.

"Look, just tell us the rest of it, okay?" Pleaded Katie.

Alicia nodded. She lunged into the story of their walk, her arrogance and then his face, how his smile left as soon as she said that she couldn't be with him, his eyes left their twinkle. She told them about their last look, before he flew away from her, possibly for forever. The words that she spoke seemed so distant to her.

Katie and Angelina were silent for a moment.

"The passion, my god!" Angelina said breathlessly. "That's so cute!"

"No it isn't!" Alicia said, staring at her, bewildered. "It isn't cute, not at all. I could have just lost the love of my life, here!"

Katie was sitting there with a little smile on her face.

"What?" Alicia demanded.

"Nothing… it's just that… well, oh! Alicia, you we're so clueless of him liking you… you could just see it, whenever he teased you when we were little. He'd walk around with those robes four sizes too big, and then poke you, or throw something at you. And when you got mad he would have this little smile on his face because you turned around and paid attention to him. And then, when he grew older and more mature, you guys began to talk and it was like you were the best of friends. But every time you accidentally touched, you could see something in his eyes that wasn't there before, and told you he liked you… he was never too good at hiding it. But you were oblivious to all of it." Katie said, still smiling.

Alicia couldn't help but smile. "Well I'm going to see him tonight."

Katie and Angelina gaped.

"WHAT?" They said in unison.

"Yeah… yeah, I'm going to tell him how I feel." Alicia said.

The two shared smiled that reached from ear to ear.

"We wish you the best of luck." Katie said.

"Yeah… I hope he gives in to your charm." Said Angelina.

Katie nodded. "He'll be all over you like a troll on a mountain… like a wizards hat on a head… like a newt on an eye… like Harry on a broom… like-…"

"We get it, Katie." Angelina said, stopping her from going any farther.

"Okay." She said quietly.

"You will be fine." Angelina assured her.

Katie spoke up, "He'll want to snog you senseless. And most likely in a broom cupboard, if I know the twins…"

"KATIE!" Angelina and Alicia yelled in unison.

"Sorry." She said.

The girls laughed as the train slowed to a halt and Lee ran into the room. He kissed Katie and then began to kiss her neck. Then he said, "I hope to be able to see you in the summer… I don't want you to go."

Angelina and Alicia smiled at each other.

"That's so cute." Angelina whispered.

"I'll see you soon… I promise." Said Katie, hugging him close.

"We'll come on guys…" Alicia said grabbing her luggage.

All of them walked out of the train, and past a group of odd-looking people that Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were heading to.

"Isn't that Mad-eye Moody?" Asked Katie, absentmindedly glancing at them.

"Yeah." Said Angelina.

The four of them turned to walk toward their parents, just as Fred and George apparated into the group of people.

"Where are your mum and dad?" Asked Lee, looking at Alicia.

"They're muggles and they don't really like going into this platform thing, so I just told them not to bother coming this time." Alicia said. "See you guys soon, I promise! I'll owl you!" Alicia then yelled to everyone.

Katie and Angelina hugged her tightly.

"You better remember to owl us… okay? Don't forget to write." Angelina said.

Katie winked. "Tell us about the broom closet."

Alicia rolled her eyes and walked over to Lee, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye Lee." She said, hugging him.

"Bye Alicia." Said Lee, returning the hug. "I'll see if I can get you all to come to my house for a week."

Alicia smiled. "I think we'd like that."

Then, she turned and began to walk away from all of them, ready to head off to Diagon Alley.

………………………………………………..

"What the bloody hell are those?" Asked Ron, poking Fred's jacket.

"Dragon skin… finest in all of town. Business is going great, so we bought it for ourselves. Do you like?" Fred asked, wiping the side of the jacket.

Ron nodded. "Yeah… okay."

George grinned and looked around.

"What you looking for?" Fred asked, looking around as well.

"Nothing." George said quickly.

"All right…" Fred said, looking warily at George before continuing to tell Ron and Ginny as well, about the jackets.
