His Brother's Girl

by MoonlightsMadness

George Weasley still felt the despair of survivor's guilt following the Battle of Hogwarts. His twin was gone leaving a void that he was sure would throb every waking moment. The only person that seemed to be able to feel the same pain as he, was the other person closest to them, his brother's girl: Kagome Higurashi.

38. Chapter 38

Cho spun her dress around, the ivory material swirling and catching the candlelight.

"The long sleeves are detachable, but I think I might leave them on." Cho explained.

"It's beautiful, you're going to look stunning." Kagome commented.

The Yule Ball was a few day's away and the excitement was riveting through the halls of Hogwarts, the girls were especially excited to be able to put away their school robes and get dressed up.

Cho smiled and hung the gown up, throwing herself on her bed and bouncing in excitement as she stared at her friend. "Now it's your turn."

Kagome smiled and pulled her own dress out of her trunk, dropping the skirt and holding it forward. The skirt was black and high wasted with a slit. The top was white with red cherry blossoms and a red obi.

"That's going to look beautiful on you!" Cho smiled.

Kagome hung her dress on the canopy of her bed jumping at the foot and crossing her legs. "What are you thinking of for your hair?"

Cho pondered and dragged her hands up her neck, piling her hair up before letting it fall. "I still can't believe I'm going with Cedric."

"You two are so cute together, and after watching you two make eyes at each other all year I'm happy you're finally making it official." Kagome smirked.

"You were not making eyes at each other." Cho mumbled as pink tinged her cheeks.

Kagome giggled and tilted her head to the side, "so you two eyeing each other across the Great Hall at meals and in class must have been my imagination."

Cho laughed and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "He's very cute."

Kagome launched herself off her bed and across the dorm, plopping down next to her best friend. "Shouldn't you be studying for potions?" Cho asked with a knowing smile.

Kagome made a face, "you've got me there, but I'm just so excited! You can't tell me you're about to study your potions are you?"

Cho snorted and pushed her bag under her bed with her foot. "Lets go see what's going on in the common room."

Kagome smiled wide as both girls climbed off the bed and made their way down stairs, gossiping animatedly.
