George Weasley was angry.
It just didn't make sense to him… he had been dating Alicia Spinnet for almost a year. He could've sworn that everything was going great until she had ditched him for Cedric Diggory almost a week ago. And the worst thing? She hadn't said anything about Diggory to him…that was what hurt him the most. Alicia had been more than his girl friend, they had been best friends for years. I mean, if she had said that she had fallen out of love with him, he would have understood. People fell out of love, it was a fact. But to tell him that she still loved him and that she just needed space and then ran straight into Diggory's arms. That was a low blow.
Fred was as incensed as George. He couldn't believe that Alicia had pulled such a dirty trick on his brother. It was common knowledge that she had thought Diggory was hot but did she have to run off with every decent looking bloke she saw!
Lee Jordan, George's other best friend, looked pissed as well. No one had seen this coming. Not even Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson, Alicia's best friends. They had all been shocked out of their wits and even more so when Alicia confessed that she and Cedric had been seeing eachother for quite a while before she broke it off with George. Apparently Diggory had wanted to be sure that he was making the right decision. Lee thought sadly about George who had been chasing Alicia for three years and who had gotten stuck with all the emotional backlash.
The three best friends were sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for Katie (lee's gf) and Angelina (Fred's gf) to make their appearances.
Running down the stairs, Katie had jumped onto the sofa between Fred and George and pulled George into a comforting hug. Angelina ran after her and threw her arms around George as well.
"it's ok georgie, she'll come crawling back"
"yeah… you're too good for her"
George smiled and said "thanks you two…but you both know that's not going to happen"
Katie sighed and said "well…atleast we can now tell you why Diggory made her sneak around so much"
"why!" demanded Fred, angrily.
"because he had a sort of romance going on with a Ravenclaw, Shiara Trente and he didn't have the guts to break up with her"
"jesus…what a slime ball..did Alicia know about this?" asked George incredulously.
"no clue..hopefully not, because if she did…she's a lot stupider than I thought" said Angelina.
"hold on a second….Shiara Trente…she's in my potions class…" said Lee.
"oh yeah…she seems pretty nice. She's part of that Ravenclaw gang right…the one with those girls Angela and Melissa? And Jake and Phil and co?"
"yeah….i feel sorry for Diggory if Jake and Phil get their hands on him"
"me too"
"sorry guys" said George, "I'm gonna be too busy feeling sorry for myself"
every one laughed a little nervously and headed off to breakfast.
In the Ravenclaw common room:
"I cant believe him!" said Angela angrily.
"I know….HE dumped SHIARA!" said Melissa grumpily.
"I'm a little shocked myself" said Shiara, smiling.
Jake, Phil and Shane wandered in, yawning, and were immediately dragged onto the couch and into the council of war being conducted.
"we should kill him" said Shane, looking hopefully at Shiara.
She laughed and shook her head… "Not worth it. He's just not worth it"
"you're not going to do anything! You're gonna let him get away with this?"
"I guess…I don't want him to think that he made such a huge difference to my life or something"
"Shi, you've been in love with him for years" said Jake quietly, "he knew that".
"I know…but I guess life moves on and shit happens, I have to get over it"
"I suppose" said Phil, hugging her.
Quietly, they headed off to breakfast.
