It has been soooo long. Sorry, there has been schoolwork. Yes Paula, I forgot we were all classmates. Whoops. XD Anyway, I'm so sorry. As you could see, I'm making an effort to update even though it's 11:20pm here and I have to go to school early tomorrow. Wheee. I don't care. Besides. I'm not sleepy. :P Wheee. Well, here's your long awaited story:

Hospital Wing

Alicia's POV

I slowly opened my eyes after that long blackout. Before, all around me was the Quidditch field. There were the audience cheers and screams of my name. I blinked and saw the ground getting bigger then one last blink, everything went black.

And now that I've woken up, I'm in the Hospital Wing. The back of my head ached but it wasn't serious. I was going to rub my eyes, but when I tried to lift my right hand, I felt something was on top of it. I looked to my side and saw it was George. His hand was on top of mine. He was asleep. I smiled.

I slowly slipped my hand out and gently ruffled George's hair. I sighed that things didn't work out. I don't know why he was mad at me. I guess I was a jerk, which was true. I'm really sorry.

Then I heard him mutter something, "…Sorry…I love you Alicia…"

"Sorry too," I muttered and smiled. Then he stirred, I backed my hand away and pretended to look elsewhere. The sun wasn't up, it seemed like 5am. In the corner of my eye, I saw George look at me.

"Alicia?" I heard George asked. I turned to look at him.

"Hey," I replied.

"Are you feeling okay?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, the back of my head aches," I replied. Then I saw Madam Promfrey passed by.

"Oh my, you're well! Well then, I'll let you go back to your room but you'll go back to class not until tomorrow, okay?" Madam Promfrey instructed. I just nodded.

"Well, there's finally a good use to this young man, he's been waiting for to wake up and was with you for 2 nights! Now, you Mr. Weasley help her on the way," she instructed to George, he just nodded. I laughed to myself.

Then, Madam Promfrey helped me get up from my bed, and then she helped me try to walk out of the bed for a while. For some reason, my legs wobbled a bit, but I was able to walk normally.

"Now come on, we don't have all day," she said again. I just laughed a bit, but stopped when I saw Madam Promfrey gave me a glare. Then George helped me go back to my room, it was rather hard, since my legs felt weak.

"You stayed that long?" I asked. I was pretty shock myself; I thought he was mad at me.

"You got me worried," he replied.

"Oh," I said. Then he stopped, I stopped too.

"Alicia, I'm sorry," he said.

"It's okay," I replied, "I'm sorry too, I'm sorry for being a jerk. I'm sorry for… well you know, everything."

"No, Alicia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have at least doubted," he said.

"But I shouldn't had given you up so easily," I pointed out.

"But it was mainly my fault," George said.

"I guess our childish selves had taken over us," I said. He grinned. We then arrived inside the Common Room; obviously no one was awake yet. The fireplace hasn't been lighted up yet, so all the light came from the moon, shining from the window. I guess I'm starting to sound a bit poetic.

"I can take it from here," I said. He nodded. He took out his hand, gesturing me to handshake.

"Friends?" he asked. I saw his eyes; he didn't seem to like saying "Friends". I know he still likes me, and I still like him. I didn't want us to be friends. I hope he knew that.

George's POV

I didn't want us to be friends. But she might not love me anymore. Look what I've done to her, maybe we're not meant to be together. I guess I doubt too much. I'm not the person to doubt, but right now, I am. And it's not me. Everyday, I feel confident in everything I do. But after the current events, it made me worry.

But if Alicia does love me, please give me a sign. I looked at her, her hair was a mess but it was still tied up. She still had some dirt on her cheeks, and was still wearing her filthy robes. She had some scratches on her face and a bruise on her neck. But she still looked beautiful. Her hazel brown eyes twinkled, her skin glowed, her hair shone.

Alicia brought out her hand, hence forming a handshake. We let go, due to the awkwardness.

"Goodnight," she said.

"Good morning," I corrected her. She smiled with amusement. Before I knew it, she leaned in and kissed me. I kissed back, even though I felt nervous. She let go. It was quick yet it was so perfect.

"Thanks," she said and went up to her room. I saw her go up, and I smiled to myself. I then went to my room, and didn't bother to change. I just lay down on bed, and thought about what happened. What's going to happen now?

Alicia's POV

Angelina and Katie were sleeping soundly on their beds. I tried not to make any noise. So I tiptoed to the drawer to get some of my clothes and tiptoed to the bathroom. I took a nice, long shower. I took my time, by the time I got out of the bathroom, the sun was up. But it was a bit hazy; I checked my watch lying on the desk. It's 6:45am.

I got my wand and pointed it at my hair. I muttered a drying spell and my hair became dry. I got a brush and sat on my bed to comb my hair. My head was aching badly, but it was bearable.

I then saw Katie wake up. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms high. She usually wakes up after me; I always woke up the earliest.

I saw Katie look at me.

"Hey Alicia," she mumbled. She got out of her bed and got her uniform from the drawer. Then she froze for a minute and glanced at me.

"ALICIA!" Katie screamed and gave me a hug. I almost choked.

"You can let go now…" I said, trying to breathe. Katie let go and was jumping all around.

"ALICIA!" screamed another voice, it was Angelina. She woke up due to Katie's scream. Angelina ran to me and gave me an even tighter hug.

"Okay, okay, just let go, I need oxygen," I mumbled.

"Are you okay?"

"Are you fine?"

"What happened?"

"Did you know what happened?"

"Can you see me?"

"Can you breathe well?"

"Are you-"

"I'm fine," I told them, "Anyway, what did happen? All I remember was the game…"

"Really?" Katie said in shock. I nodded.

"Well, a bludger took you by the head pretty badly," Angelina said, "And you were in bed for three or four days."

"Really!" I said in shock. Angelina knocked my head with her fist, which made the aching feel worse, "Earth to Alicia, HELLO?"

"OW! THAT HURT!" I complained in pain.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Angelina said apologetically.

"It's okay," I mumbled while rubbing my head.

"George was with you, you know," Katie said.

"So I've heard," I replied.

"So are you guys okay?" Angelina asked. I was confused. That kiss, that event. Are we really okay? I guess we are. So what are we now, a couple?

"Yeah," I replied.

We went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. As we entered, the first thing I looked for was George. He was chatting with Fred, must be another prank. I stopped at my feet and froze a bit. I have a feeling this would be a very awkward morning.

"Alicia, come on!" Angelina said, pulling my arm to the table. I plumped down to my seat. It was funny, the order we seated. Angelina was seated beside Fred, Katie next to Oliver, and George right in front of me. It was as if the order were by couples. Except that George and I were not exactly a couple yet.

"Hey…" I said.

"Hey…" George replied.

Awkward Silence

Fred was talking to Angelina about his latest prank. Oliver and Katie were discussing "Quidditch tactics" which I bet as a code for "Find-a-place-to-snog-while-our-friends-are-away tactics". Shoot, did I just think of that? I have every right to remain silent. Wait, I AM silent. Never mind, I think I'm going insane.

"So…" George began with his voice becoming a harsh whisper, "…are we?"

"Are we what?" I whispered back.

"You know…" George said.

"Together?" I mouthed. George nodded.

"I guess…" I replied.

"So…"

"I guess we're… you know…" I replied.

"Yeah…"

Then out of nowhere, he laughed.

"What!" I exclaimed.

"It's weird how we made it 'official'," George laughed.

"Make what 'official'?"

It was Katie. Whoops. She overheard us.

How's that! haha. yeah. I'm sleepy now. Wheee. Actually, after making 2 corrections, I'm sleepy. That's so dumb of me. Agh. I have a Filipino test tomorrow. The odd thing is, that's one of my most unfavorite subjects. I understand my own language... I just can't speak it well. Sheesh, and I've been in this country for the rest of my life. Aghh. The irony!
