Thoughts of a Weasley Twin
By Writa
Thank you, to pinkflamingo, The Mad Hatter and once again Pauly! You guys reviewed and thus made me happy. I think this may be the last part.
About a week later George is just walking up to the door of the Burrow when he hears hushed voices, being the incredibly nosy person he is, he stops to listen for a bit. Besides there could be some good blackmail material revealed.
"Harry you passed your NEWT's in potions right?"
"Uh yeah. Why?"
"How's about helping me cook up a truth potion?"
Why in the Marauders name would Ginny need a truth potion?
"Ginny that is dangerous stuff! Why in Merlins name would you want a truth potion?"
"To help Hermione."
Hermione needs help? What's wrong? He'll help!
"I don't follow you…" Harry is getting really confused
"Well Hermione is in love with this guy…."
George stops listening, his head starts spinning. Hermione is in love? He walks away from the house all intention of entering totally banished.
Could Ginny be wrong? It is unlikely. Ginny is rarely wrong… she is the one who locked Fleur and Charlie in that cupboard. And he suspects she played some part in Fred and Angie's engagement. Well assuming his little sister is correct in this instance also…
Who had won his princesses heart? If he is to be denied her love then he wants to make damn sure it is bestowed upon someone who deserves it. Someone who appreciates what a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful woman she is.
George is walking without purpose. Not a clue as to where he is going, the only reason he stops is because in his despair he walks headlong into a very solid tree.
"Dammit!"
That is the last straw! George lets the tears fall.
It isn't fair! Hermione is supposed to fall as deeply, madly and aspassionately in love with him as he has fallen for her. That's how it works in all the fairytales her knew of.
He sits against the tree, draws his legs up to his chest and cries.
The pain he had been struggling to hold at bay washes over him in an agonising wave of feeling. Bittersweet thoughts of Hermione fill his mind as he sits crying in the fading light.
When next he raises his head it is nigh dark. The day is ending the sun bidding the world farewell with one last bright fanfare of colour. Reds, pinks, oranges and purples decorate the western sky.
He is covered in dirt, his eyes are red and his face tearstained. George knows but he cannot make himself care. As always in times of trouble George heads home, to the Burrow. He walks up to the front door and opens it, as he walks in Harry comes across him.
"Ginny I got another one!"
Another what? What is Harry yelling about?
"Same state?" his sister's voice calls out
"Yip! We will have to tell them, they aren't going to last."
Who is them? Him? And who else? What were they going to be told?
Harry leads him into the lounge and shoves him into a chair. He sees Hermione on the sofa. No he can't bear to be near Hermione at the moment. Maybe later when it hurts less but not yet. He moves as if to leave.
Ginny lays a hand on his shoulder. "Sit down George this is for your own good."
Without really knowing why he relaxed into the seat but he wouldn't look at Ginny, Hermione or Harry. Instead he stared at his shoes.
"We are sick of you two being miserable." Harry began
"We were going to concoct a truth potion and get you to tell each other but I am not sure that you will last long enough to brew it." continues Ginny "Therefore we have taken it upon ourselves to tell you what we can all see and neither of you can."
They were not making sense! George opens his mouth to tell them so but Hermione gets in first.
"And what can you all see then?" she demands tearfully
George looks up at her. Hermione had been crying. The impulse to take her in his arms and soothe the hurt away was strong.
"You two are in love..." Harry simply states
"…with each other." Adds Ginny
Georges eyes found Hermiones and all else faded away.
Fin.
Merci, Dunca, Arigato, Thank you to every body who has reviewed, all who were so patient with my terribly sporadic updates and everyone else who helped me write this by suggesting things or encouraging me!
The word of the day is finished, meaning completed, because that's what I did to this.
P.S. dost anyone want me to write Hermione's side of the story? (I already started it but do you want it posted?)
