OH. MY. GOD. Yes, yes, heylo and welcome, but OH. MY. GOD. Look at the chapter! LOOK AT IT!!! CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE. The big two, five. Wow. It's just a but hard to imagine you know… and having you guys here through the whole thing, its all because of you! You guys have encouraged me, helped me, criticized and helped make my story better… wow. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you.

You guys reviewed so fast! Fast reviews fast update! Okay then, here are my shout outs:

Valentines-hater- I'm glad you like it! I really love these guys together… its just so special. Lmao!

Yayforgredandforge- aw thanks you for your support! Too bad George isn't free anymore… oh well, at least we can dream.

Calypso- oh how I wish he were mine. Hehehe BUCKETS! MUAH HAHAHAHA. Rainstorms are awesome. George likes 'em cause I like 'em. YAY!

Lauren- yeah… she was weak, but you know. George is the gentle kind of guy. I DO NOT APPROVE OF SEX BEFORE MARRAGE. But you know… it just seemed like the right time and they are totally and utterly in love.

Stella Blu- I think Angelina and Fred have, because Fred is much more outgoing, energetic and open than his brother George who is sensitive, caring and a lot of the time shy. Fred would seem like the spontaneous, there for the moment, type of guy. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope I answered your question fairly well.

Yoshi-fan2003- oh yes, everyone HAS to love Moody, just because he's awesome! Hehehe I love updating fast for all you guys! Trust me, I do!

HPFanatic04- Hehehe how did you know she wasn't dead? Your psychic… I knew it! I KNEW IT! MUAH HAHAHAHA.

Disclaimer- me no own, you no sue. I think you understand what that means.

Chapter 25- Hello Harry!

Alicia opened her eyes. It was about nine in the morning. She turned over to wrap her arms around George, when she found he wasn't there. She rubbed her eyes with her fists and stretched, letting her gaze around the room swim in and out of focus.

There was a light rap at the door and Alicia looked up. The door opened slightly and Angelina poked her head in.

"Oh, hey Angelina!" Alicia said with a smile.

Angelina came in and sat in the chair beside her bed. "You're looking better." She said.

Alicia nodded. "But oh god, my body aches. I feel like if someone touched me with even a bit of force I'd scream out and my own skin would break." She said softly, hugging herself.

Angelina nodded. "Moody expected that would be the way you would feel. It's mostly internal stuff around your skin. Crucio is a powerful spell." She said calmly.

Alicia nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Well we're really proud of you, you know." Angelina continued. "George thought you were dead at first, and he was breaking down. He was about to go mad practically, not that he was expressing much feeling in front of all of us, you know George… but you could see it in his eyes, you know?"

Alicia smiled a bit. "He did?"

"Oh yes." Angelina continued. "Was in a terrible state, you're lucky. He loves you a lot. Molly doesn't want to admit it to herself that he does… wanted to see you guys last night."

"Oh, really?" Alicia said worried. "Thank god she didn't. What made her change her mind?"

"Moody, for some reason… but why not? I mean, why would it have been bad if she did see you guys last night?" Angelina asked.

Alicia gulped and felt her face grow hot. "Well… well you know… I'm not exactly a virgin anymore."

Angelina's mouth dropped open. "Oh my god… you and George…?"

Alicia nodded.

"You used protection, right?" Angelina asked quickly.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Of course." Alicia said.

Angelina began to giggle. "Are you serious? OH! That's so funny!"

Now it was Alicia's turn to allow her mouth to fall open. "What do you mean funny?" She said on the verge of laughing herself, hitting Angelina in the arm playfully.

"Well, he's super tired. HA!" Angelina said. "You know how George is usually the first one up between him and Fred, though neither of them are early risers…?" Angelina asked.

"Yeah, I know that."

"Well Fred had to jump on him to make him wake up, and then start hitting him with a pillow so he'd get up fully. They're with Lupin at the moment." Angelina finished.

Alicia laughed. "I was wondering where he went." She said, playing with the covers on the bed.

"He's planning to see you in a bit… when Lupin's finished the meeting." Angelina said.

"Why aren't you there?" Alicia asked.

Angelina laughed. "I don't know, I think that Fred thought it'd be better if I took care of you."

Alicia smiled. "I'm not a child, you know."

"I didn't know that!" Angelina joked, "and I thought all this time…"

Alicia pushed her arm lightly. "Hey!"

There was a knock at the door and George was standing in the doorway. "Can I borrow her?" He asked.

Angelina nodded. "I think we can manage that." She said.

Angelina got up and hugged Alicia lightly, and walking out the door she hugged George too, and then she went down the hall singing some Christmas tune. Her voice carried down until she was too far away to hear.

"Are you going to come in?" Asked Alicia.

George nodded. He walked in and brought his hand out from behind his back, handing Alicia a bouquet of black roses.

"Merlin, George! They're beautiful! They're…" Alicia began.

"Black, yeah." George finished for her.

"I've never… they're beautiful." Alicia sighed, looking up at him.

George smiled. "Like you."

"What?" Alicia asked.

"I thought that no one really see's black roses. They are individual, special, and beautiful. They represent you." George said simply.

Alicia smiled and put them in the empty vase by her bed. She looked up at George, who was standing there smiling at her.

"Are you well?" George asked.

"Not really." Alicia said. She stood up and he reached out for her. She clung to his body so that her legs didn't give way. She caught her balance and then looked into his eyes. "But I'm well enough for this…" She whispered.

Their lips touched softly and he pulled her closer to him. He broke their kiss slowly and then looked into her eyes. She hugged him close, resting her head on his shoulder as he kissed her neck softly. She could feel his warm lips move against her skin making it tingle, and she could feel his breath soft on her skin as well.

"You know what Angelina told me?" Alicia said softly.

"Mmm?" he mumbled through his kisses.

Alicia came closer to him. "That you thought I had died."

George stopped kissing her neck and held her at arms reach, looking into her eyes. "Well I…" He shrugged and looked away.

Alicia took his face in her hands and lifted his head up so she could see in his eyes. "And I thought it was unbelievably adorable that you would care so much."

George looked away again, his face becoming red.

"I love you, you know." Alicia continued.

George looked back at her. "I love you too."

She smiled. "You know what I was thinking about," she said kissing his lips softly and then sitting on the bed.

He sat on the chair opposite of her. "What?" He asked, grabbing her hand and taking it in his.

"Lee and Katie." She said.

"Why?"

"Because they are still at the joke shop."

"Oh yeah…"

"All alone."

"Mmm."

"They'd like that though wouldn't they?" Alicia asked.

George nodded. "Yeah, they would. But I'm wondering if they are waiting for us to get back."

Alicia pulled him by his hand and stood him up, bringing him back down beside her. He rested his head on her shoulder and she ran her hands through his hair slowly.

"Are you tired?" She asked.

He nodded and closed his eyes. "A bit."

She could feel him slipping away from her and into the darkness of his mind. "Don't fall asleep, okay?" She asked.

"Okay…" He whispered.

"George…" She whispered, but he was already asleep.

……………………………………..

Angelina rushed to the door and swung it open. Standing there was Harry Potter, looking very angry and glaring up at the man beside him, Severus Snape.

"Hello…?" Angelina said staring at the two.

Snape angrily pushed past her. "Can't leave you at that muggles house without you making a mess of things, can I Potter?"

Harry looked at Angelina and she moved to let him in.

"Where's Lupin?" He asked. "Or Moody… or Mrs. Weasley. I don't care who, I just don't want to be stuck with him anymore."

"Mrs. Weasley left for the Burrow this morning. Moody and Lupin are in the other room together, if you need to see them. I can take you there." Angelina said.

"Would you?" Harry asked, smiling a bit.

"Yeah." Angelina said looking over at Snape who was reading something he pulled out of his cloak. "Follow me."

They began to walk away in silence, as Angelina led him down the grand hallways of the Black house.

"So, what's going on?" Angelina asked.

"Another problem with my aunt and uncle. I think it is going to involve the ministry this time again." Harry said.

"I never knew you were having problems with them…" Angelina said.

"Yeah." Harry answered. "Putting it that way makes it sound like we're a married couple… well with them I guess it would be a trio."

Angelina laughed.

"Hey uh… I never knew you were in the Order?" Harry said.

"Order? Oh yeah… yah. I guess since me and Fred are together, and same with Alicia and George, they just let us in. The boys are really happy that they are finally in it." Angelina said. "Are you in it?"

"No." Said Harry sadly. "I'm too young. Most of this shit is about me, and they can't tell me what they are really doing. It sucks, you know. Having all of these other people know what's going to happen to you, except you don't even know yourself. I'm a bit mad at all of them, really, but its okay now I guess. They tell me what I need to know, they say, but I think I need to know everything. It just isn't fair."

She nodded. "I see… so all of this is for you?" She asked.

"Well, some of it is. A lot of it is for the protection of others during the attacks of Voldemort and that. Its like our own little army for fighting against him… sort of like Dumbledore's Army last year, except its not training, its actually doing the stuff." He said.

Angelina nodded. "Oh…"

"I guess they didn't really explain it to you?" He asked, looking down at her and giving her a toothy grin.

"No. They didn't… but you know what I just realized?" She asked.

"What?" Harry replied.

"How tall you've gotten. Your no longer that short little seeker we had!" She laughed.

Harry laughed as well. "I'm still not as tall as any of the Weasley's… besides Mrs. Weasley, Ginny and Arthur Weasley."

"So pretty much you mean, Ron, Fred and George." Angelina said.

"And Percy, Charlie and Bill." Harry added.

Angelina laughed as they reached the room. She knocked on the door and opened it a crack.

"Yes?" Lupin asked, standing up from a table he was sitting at.

"Harry Potter is here to see you." She answered.

"Right. Bring him in." Lupin said, giving Harry a hug when he entered through the doors.

………………………………….

Alicia looked over at George, who was still sleeping. He must have not gotten any sleep last night, or very little. His face was relaxed, his mouth parted, and his hand loosely gripping the sheet.

Alicia leaned down and kissed his cheek. Then, she left the room and went to go eat something. She grabbed and orange and peeled it, tearing off a piece and popping it into her mouth.

"Harry's here."

Alicia turned around and saw Fred leaning against the wall.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah." Fred answered. "Meaning we're most likely going to be able to find out what the orb does."

"That's great!" Alicia exclaimed.

"Maybe…"

"What's wrong?"

"Well, Snape came along for the ride." Fred said.

Alicia looked at him hard. "What do you mean? Snape's here?"

He nodded.

"Shit." She answered.

He nodded again.

Just then, Snape entered the room looking smug. He sat down at the table and took out a piece of parchment, reading it, and then swinging out a black quill and marking in bold red-ink in different places on the scroll.

"Don't need an invitation, am I right?" Fred joked, nodding over to Snape who clearly was absorbed in the parchment.

Alicia giggled.

"What are you doing here on such a fine day, Weasley?" Snape drawled, looking up at Fred.

"I'm just… hey, what's it matter to you?" Fred asked angrily.

"You're perfectly right, Weasley, I was just wondering if something other than nonsense would come out of that mouth of yours." Snape spat, looking back down at the parchment.

"Hey." Fred angrily snapped, "We are both staying here right now, you're no longer my teacher, so you better watch your tongue or I'll hex you!"

Snape laughed. "And being a potion's master, I already have idea's for you. Watch what you eat, Weasley."

Fred glared, and Snape returned a menacing glare as well.

"Looks like you two have things under control." Alicia answered, walking out of the room slowly, only to hear from behind her:

"AND THEN WHAT? HA! … OH YEAH? Oh…" From Fred, and Snape was most likely to an angry whisper because she couldn't hear him.

She walked down the hall and George ran by her, picking her up and swinging her around.

"Ah! Oh… looks like you've gotten sleep." Alicia smiled, as he placed her back down.

"Yeah… Just what I needed, love." George answered.

"You said you wouldn't fall asleep." Alicia said, trying to act hurt, but not being able to conceal a smile.

George pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes, whispering, "I couldn't help dreaming about you. Now I know the real thing is better."

She smiled and closed her eyes too, feeling him against her. "Well, Mr. Weasley, you're amazing as well."

"Hmmm…" He mumbled, bringing her closer, and just enjoying the feeling of her body against his.

"So… you read romance novels or something?" Alicia asked smiling.

"No… why?" George replied.

Alicia laughed. "Cause you're really good at this stuff." She answered.

He moved so that their lips grazed. "Well then Mrs. Spinnet, brace yourself." He answered slyly.

She laughed and leaned in for a kiss.

Next chapter will be the second last chapter. Takes me a while to say my goodbyes, so I'll start a bit early by saying I enjoyed writing this story the most. I loved having you all as reviewers, and I hope you will tell me if I should continue with the George/Alicia ship, cause I do have a good idea and a bit of writing for another story I was planning to make already.
