Hey this is RoseWeasleyGamgee! Long time no update… I know, I'm sorry… . This chapter was written by my co-writer, not me… so there was a little bit of waiting involved due to finals and whatnot. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did.

Chapter 10

Hermione walked away, still blushing, leaving a stunned group of people behind her. It was quiet for a moment or two. George laughed, "Well I'm gonna go take a cold shower."

The group separated; George gave Becca a little kiss and went off to his cabin, Harry walked away to find Ron, and Ali and Becca wandered.

"I can't believe Hermione is going to try to get Jeremy and Ginny together…" Ali said astonished, "I thought she had a thing for him…"

Becca rubbed her eyes; "I think we all thought she had a thing for him."

"So, wanna' go for a walk?" Ali suggested.

"Sure," Becca said, "But I need to get my sweater first; it's getting cold."

Becca led Ali to the Lion cabins. Becca walked in and realized a few moments later that Ali hadn't followed. Poking her head out of the door, she hissed, "What are you doing? C'mon."

Ali looked hesitant, "But I'm not allowed in…"

Becca stared at here, "No one's in here at during meals, it'll be fine. And if isn't…well, I'll think of something."

Becca walked through the Lion Common room to the cabins and Ali crept along behind her. As they passed the door to one of the boy cabin rooms, Becca heard familiar voices. She stopped abruptly and Ali bumped into her. "Thanks for the warning," Ali hissed grudgingly, "Why'd you stop?"

Becca shushed her and pressed her ear against the door from which she heard the voices. Ali nudged up beside her and did the same. They heard two boys conversing casually but most of the noise seemed to be commotion. Then, more clearly:

"So how're you and Rebecca?" a voice asked.

"Good. Really good," answered an identical voice. For a second, Becca had thought that it was the same person answering himself, but then she realized—

"It's George and Fred!" she mouthed at Allison. Ali's eyes widened and she pressed her ear harder against the door.

"So have you made a move yet?" the first voice—Fred's voice—asked.

"I think so," George answered, "Her friend Ali—you know her—she told me to kiss her—Becca, I mean—so I did. Actually it was kind of a mutual act…" he added with a chuckle.

"Ah, yes. Ali…" Fred mused lightly.

"Becca tells me that Ali's got a thing for you," George said.

Fred snorted, "Her diary could've told me that. A thing for redheads, eh?" He laughed.

Out in the hallway, Ali clapped a hand over her mouth and hissed, "They stole my diary!" Becca shushed her again and listed harder.

"Are you interested?" George's voice asked.

Fred made a noise of obvious affirmation and said, "How could I not be interested? Why? What do you think?"

"I think she's attractive but I just don't know her that well. It feels like she's missing something."

"I know what that something is…" Fred drifted off.

"Eh?"

"Me on top of her up against a brick wall."

Upon hearing this, Becca burst into a fit of silent giggles and slid down the door onto the floor. Ali stood, mouth agape, looking positively stunned. After a while Ali too began to giggle out of amusement and turned and leaned against the wall next to the door. Soon, Becca's laughter became too much for her to handle and she began to lose control. She accidentally smashed her fist on the hardwood floor, making a loud, cracking sound that echoed ominously. Then the door Becca was leaning against opened suddenly and she fell into the room flat on her back with a thud. She and Ali both stopped laughing immediately. Becca opened her eyes and saw both Fred and George staring down at her questioningly. A few seconds passed in silence. Then, once again, she and Ali both burst into a near-crying laughter. Crawling to her feet, she stood and clutched the front of George's shirt and fell against him, laughing into his chest. George patted her back uncertainly. Fred raised an eyebrow. After a moment or so, Becca drew in a deep breath and with it, her composure.

"George," she said, eyeing Ali and Fred standing awkwardly next to each other, "I think you and I should have a private conversation." Without giving him a chance to respond, Becca shut the door on Ali and Fred, who were left alone outside

"Umm…." Fred began, "What…what was that all about?"

Ali shifted uneasily, "Well uh…Becca and I overheard you and George talking and, uh…well…we heard some, uh…stuff…" she ended rather weakly.

Fred raised an eyebrow, seeming to understand, "I see. And how much 'stuff' did you two hear?"

Ali shifted her weight again, "Nothing important. That is, we heard some stuff about Becca and then me and something about a, uh…brick wall…"

Fred grinned and put his hands in his pockets, "Oh yes. That stuff." Ali turned her gaze desperate to find something around her that wouldn't make her feel like she was about to explode. Instead, looked behind her and found—

"Oh look a brick wall…" Ali laughed nervously, "Would you look at that…" She looked down at her feet. She felt a hand under her chin gently forcing her gaze up into his eyes. Fred leaned towards her and kissed her lightly. When he drew back, Ali had no idea what to say, so she blinked a few times.

Fred smirked, "I'm afraid I don't speak 'blink-blink-blink'," he said. Ali blushed and forced herself to this time keep her gaze on Fred. An odd surge of courage swelled up insider of her and without thinking first, Ali reached up, put her hand on Fred's neck, and kissed him romantically.

In the boy's room, Becca and George were taking turns peering through the crack under the door. When Fred was about to lean down to kiss Ali, George grinned, "I think—yes—he's going to do it!" he whispered.

Becca gasped, "Lemme see!" Squeezing in next to George, she watched the entire scene play out. When enough had been seen of Ali and Fred making out, Becca and George stood.

"I'm very proud of her," Becca said.

George wrapped his arms around Becca's waist. "I knew he liked her," he said.

Becca smirked at him, "Sure you did."
