Just borrowing the world of JKR

Chapter 14.

The time seemed to start to fly by. Katie had no idea what she was really doing, well other than schoolwork and getting out to fly when she could.

"Hello Kates." Sean said sitting down next to her in the common room. Katie had been reading a muggle book from some bloke called Wilde. The book actually was very interesting, The Picture of Dorian Grey.

"Hi." She gave him a puzzled look. It was the 21st of February and Sean had said maybe three words to her sense the start of term.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yea I'm alright. You?" She still had no idea what to say to him.

"Yea." He looked away from her and over to wear Emily was sitting and back over to Katie. "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Emily."

"I pushed you into asking her Sean." She said shutting her book.

"You've already lost enough." He started to play with his thumbs. "And than I got up and vanished on you."

"Had I come to you, or really needed you, you would have been there." She gave him a warm smile.

"Yea."

"Really Sean I'm alright. It's alright." She patted his shoulder and got up.

"Katie wait." He said looking up at her with pleading eyes.

"What Sean?" She asked.

"I miss you." He muttered.

"Sean." She sighed sitting back down. Just then Emily came into the common room, and upon spotting Sean she ran up and sat on his lap going off about something. "I'll see you."

Sean watched Katie go, but all the same he turned his attention on to Emily and pretended to care.

"Kates." George called just as she was about to walk upstairs.

"Hm?" She stopped looking at George. He looked good, she thought as she saw a grin spread across his face.

"Come here." The grin never leaving his face.

"Ok." She smiled and walked over to him. The second she was in an arms length he pulled her closer and wrapped her into a big hug. "George?"

"You needed a hug Kates." He whispered into her ear.

"Cheers." She smiled hugging him tightly. She felt all the emotions that she had been hiding sneaking up into her eyes, she wanted to cry, but she knew better.

George knew Katie well enough to know that she holding all of her feelings in, it made him worry a bit more than he wanted to admit. "Come on." He said picking her up and sitting on the couch.

"George I should—"

"Relax." He smiled pulling her close. "Katie you're falling apart—"

"I know." She whispered letting her headrest against his chest falling asleep in his arms.

When she woke up she could herself in George's arms still, and she had no desire to move. He felt warm and safe. Wait a second, she felt warm and safe. Oh no, she felt her heart give a little jump. "I'm falling for George Weasley again." She muttered blinking a few times. He mind started to race.

I can't be falling for George again. It's just that I am really emotional right now and Oliver and Mar—Wait I was about to think Marcus Flint. Oi. I really I am losing my mind. I can't believe I am having this conversation in my head. Oh well it's not like anyone can her me. Or can they? That would be rather odd. Hmm I could really use with a good snog. Katie Bell. I can't believe myself. What the bloody hell has gotten into me? Ok honest thought, well question thought: Do I like George? Of course I do, he has been one of best mates for years. Ok stop trying to avoid the question.

"Katie?" George said hugging her tightly.

"Hm?" She said shaking off the little rant in her head.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

George grinned knowing that she had been, it was clear to her good friends when she was having a conversation with herself because she would roll her eyes, shake her head, and make odd expressions at nothing.

"What?" Katie asked looking at George's grin.

"It's morning we should get something to eat. I wonder what the next task is." He said picking Katie up and putting her on her feet.

"MORNING?" Katie's eyes went wide. "You mean we slept here all night?"

"Yea." He smiled wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "Go shower, change and we'll go to breakfast."

"Ok." Katie sighed and bounded up the stairs, showering, changing, and bounding back down with her books and wet hair.

"You could use a drying charm Kates."

"Wet hair is kind of fun." She said with a shrug.

"Right." George gave her an odd look.

"Oi." Katie rolled her eyes and grabbed George's hand. "Come on."

George could not help but grin at his hand being scooped up by hers.

Before she knew what was going on she was sitting between Fred and George as the second task started. She and George had spent most of there time together. It seemed natural; after all they were good friends. Sean was MIA, but that was nothing new.

"I'm glad it's not me." Katie muttered looking over at Fred.

"Come off it Katie you would have fun." He grinned at her.

Katie laughed and looked over to George who was clearly lost in thought. She thought about asking him what he was thinking about but figured that it was pointless.

"Katie, they started." Ang told her out of not where as if Katie had not noticed.

"Yea." She tilted her head.

Finally after some time the champions managed to get their hostages, well other than Fleur who got stuck on something. Harry came up with Ron and some little girl.

"Happy your brothers alright." Katie nudged George.

He said nothing but gave her a bit of a glare. He than wrapped his arm around her. "Seems Krum has something for our dear Miss Granger."

"Seems that way." Katie smiled as she saw them talking. Finally after some time they announced that Harry and Cedric were tied.
