Chapter 5: George's POV
George looked up from his charmed essay and saw Katie Bell walking towards him. He was about to greet his younger friend when she kissed him. His body went into shock. As quick as it had happened it was over and she was gone. He just sat there confused. He had felt things he had never felt before.
"No, no" He stood up and started walking up the stairs to his room. 'I am not supposed to feel this way for Katie. I love Jessica' he thought to himself. He laid down on his bed. He realized that he did have these feelings for Jessica just they were a lot stronger for Katie.
The next morning George got up for practice early. He had tossed and turned all night. He just needed to think without the interruption of Fred's snores. He got dressed and made his way down to the Great Hall.
He sat there in silence just letting all his thoughts run through his head. He liked Jessica a lot but Katie. He had started to like Katie in his 6th year. He was going to ask her to the ball but before he could work up the nerve some Ravenclaw chaser asked her. He hung his head in shame at the memory. He had acted like Ron.. He was never shy or awkward around girls except Katie. She dated that chaser for a month or two after that but he had started to date Elizabeth. So he had tried to put her out of his mind.
But she had gotten even prettier over the summer and started to attract even more guys. This was one example on how George and Fred were different. Fred would have been excited at the challenge and stop at nothing to get the girl but George he gave up and moved on to a girl he knew liked him, Jessica.
His thoughts were interrupted by Angelina. He looked up and saw her standing with Katie. "No," he groaned as Angelina came closer with Katie in tow. They sat down and he had to keep a polite conversation with Angelina. Usually he liked talking to her but right now he just wanted to be alone. Also with Katie sitting there it made him feel awkward.
Soon the others started to file in for breakfast and Katie excused herself and left. As she walked away he made up his mind. He would forget about Katie. He was positive these feelings for Katie weren't real. That it was only a result of the kiss. He got up and followed her to the pitch.
When He got there she was already up on her broom. He called her name until she heard him and flew down. "Yes George." She said. He could tell she was acting nice. 'What did she have to be mad about? She was the one that kissed me and she knew I had a girlfriend.' George thought.
"Katie, can we forget about what happened yesterday? I want us to stay friends. Okay?" George told her. She just nodded and jumped back on her broom. He walked away feeling satisfied. He went into the dressing room as the others showed up and smiled despite himself.
The next day he had a pretty good day. He beat Lee and Fred at Exploding Snap and had a nice snog with Jessica. He walked down the hall with Fred to lunch pretty happy. Suddenly his bag busted open and all its contents spilled out. He quickly gathered up all the stuff and Fred fixed his bag with a charm and they went off to lunch.
After lunch he sat in his room to finish up his homework. He pulled out a piece of parchment to finish up his homework but this one already had writing on it. He read it. It was a letter to Alicia from Katie. He felt guilty while reading it but he couldn't put it down.
He couldn't believe what he was reading. She was in love in with him but now she hated him. He could hit himself in the head. He had made the biggest mistake of his life by telling Katie they should just be friends. What was he going to do? He had to fix this.
