I got two reviews and one or two favs/follows so I thought I would get it to this: the misunderstanding. Please, share your thoughts about it. :) I know it might not be strong, but it makes sense (?)

Chapter 3

"It was a misunderstanding, I got over it and you should too." Her ghost voice rang in his mind as he zoomed out again.

It was 1994 and George had gotten the courage to ask Bay to the Yule ball, but making it casual.

"I mean, we go as friends, we can dance-if you want-but just to have fun and all-and not go alone-you know!"

And that's how they went, no corsages, not even sweet comments other than 'you look nice' and a fast song, not giving him the chance to pull her close. Plus they mostly were with Fred, Angelina, Lee and their other friends, so it was another day at Hogwarts for them. But Angelina and Katie decided to take this chance to pull a prank on the twins for payback. They got their hands on love potions and poured it on their drinks. In kind of backfired because Fred accidentally spilled his over and a bit fell on his lap, making him leave to clean up. But when George took his, he was left alone with Bay and Lee. They were sitting behind Ron and Harry who were just sitting there. When George took it, Hermione came to the picture and another song was coming. Bay was already dancing on her seat.

"Wanna dance?" she asked him.

He was looking at Hermione walking by to join Viktor Krum by the drinks table.

"Yeah," he said and got up.

She got up to follow him, but he headed to the back and she stood still watching him walk over to Hermione.

"Hello, Hermione!" He said, happy, "would you like to dance?"

Hermione looked uncomfortable and lost, she was thinking on Ron's behavior and now George had come to ask her to dance, in front of her date.

"G-George, I came with Viktor…" Hermione said as Krum crossed his arms to look bigger.

"One dance won't kill you," he said, shrugging, "you look beautiful tonight- well I assume you've always been beautiful."

"Excuse me," Viktor said, stepping closer, with his deep voice.

"You're excuse." George said, smiling.

"She came with me; be lost."

"Why would you come with this git?" George told Hermione, who was blushing, "he can't even pronounce a full sentence."

"The offer was nice, but I did come with him." Hermione said.

"Um, George," Bay came in, looking at the three of them, "what are you doing?"

"Just waiting to dance with the most beautiful girl," he said, looking at Bay who was about to smile until he looked at Hermione and offered his hand.

"But…y-you asked me." Bay said, looking hurt.

"Did I?" he asked, suddenly forgetting.

"George, what's wrong?" Bay asked, shaking her head.

"Should I look for Fred?" Hermione said.

"No! I don't want anymore guys around you!" George snapped, looking at Hermione, making her step back, "they don't deserve to look at you."

"G-George?" Bay asked, pulling his arm, "y-you can dance with me?"

"Why would I want to dance with you when I can dance with the brightest witch in Hogwarts?" His hands seemed like they were preaching Hermione, who still looked embarrassed.

"You can't." Viktor said, stepping between George and Hermione.

Bay was shocked and about to blush, "why did you asked me then?"

"I just settled for you, I guess." He shrugged at her before looking back at Hermione.

"W-what?!" Bay snapped and George's eyes opened wide.

"Keep it down, will you? Don't need to make a scene, May."

"It's…" Bay looked hurt, "It's Bay."

"Bay-fine, can you excuse me now, please?" George said, annoyed.

"You excuse us." Viktor said, firm, as he took Hermione's hand and took her back to the dance floor. Hermione seemed worried about the event and looked back to check on Bay who was blushing and her nose was also getting red.

"See what you've cause, Bay?" George said, angry.

Bay opened her lips, but choked, so a slap said everything she wanted to say. She walked passed him to leave the great hall as a tear peaked out and she wiped it quickly. She was heading up the stairs to the magical staircases when Fred called.

"Bay!" He ran to her, but she didn't want to see George's face so she kept rushing, going up the first magical staircase, "B-Bay?!" Fred had to make a small jump when he reached the first stair because it was already parting. He stopped her and stood in front of her. "Leaving so soon? The party just started."

"I-I'm a little tired-I-I think I'm coming down with a fever." She mumbled, looking down.

Fred knew something was wrong and it wasn't the fever, still he played along and touched her forehead before lifting her head by her chin. Her eyes were shining, about to tear up. He frowned and his eyes saddened.

"A-are you alright? What happened?"

"Nothing." She turned away, "this headache is really bad."

He grinned, "You didn't mention a headache."

"I said fever, didn't I?"

He placed his hands on her shoulders, "who do I have to punch?"

"Yourself?" She said and he raised an eyebrow, "nothing. I'm going to bed." She slapped his hands away and went up one staircase before he stopped her again.

"What did George do?"

"He's a big arse." Fred couldn't help laughing, "I mean it."

"Sorry-c'mon, admit it, tomorrow you'll keep calling each other arses and then hugging it out by lunch. Come back to the ball." He pulled her, but she didn't move.

"Not this time." She said and a tear finally broke free.

Fred's body collapse, like his jokes left his shoulders and he realized this was serious. He went back up to stand in front of her and wiped the tear.

"He really hurt you?" She hesitated, not wanting to believe it, but she nodded, "what did he do?"

"He practically said I was nothing to my face…"

He sighed, "Bay, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding."

"He told me to my face…he humiliated me."

"I-I just don't believe it."

"I'm not asking you to-I just wanna go to sleep. I knew this night was going too perfect." She turned, but he pulled her wrist once again.

"Too perfect?...So he's the one you fancy?" Fred knew she liked someone-a lot- by how she spoke of him once, but never mentioned his name. Slowly, she nodded. "Ah, Bay,"

He pulled her for a hug and she accepted it, even if it was George's face and their bodies were the same, it felt comforting. He convinced her to go back to the ball and when they entered, they saw Lee talking to a delirious George, who didn't even notice Bay passed by. He asked her to dance and they did, for about 5 songs and then took a break. They headed out and she was about to turn in, but he convinced her to one more song. One became 3 and the ball was about to be over. Lee had taken George to their dorm a while ago after Katie and Angelina told him what they had done. By that time, Fred and Bay were out so they didn't tell them what had happened. Before the last song ended, Bay looked up at Fred and he was already looking at her. They smiled. She looked beautiful in her red wine dress and he looked handsome. Her tears were gone and she was happy again. Fred couldn't explain it, but she cared a lot about Bay, but the feeling grew bigger when they hugged. After they spent time talking and dancing, like they knew no one else and it was just them. They had never gotten the chance to do that and it had been nice. His fingers grabbed her chin like they had done before and he kissed her. She kissed back and then they smiled as they blushed. When they were asked to leave the great hall because the ball was over, they took their time and Bay shivered with the cold. He gave her his jacket, which she pulled tight around her. Before they got apart at the Ravenclaw tower, he kissed her again, both smiling.

How could George know all this? Because he was told so by Fred the next day. Fred got kind of mad at him and George had no idea why. That's when Angelina and Katie came clean and handed the antidote, which they had found that morning in Snape's cabinet. When George drank it, after saying he wasn't under any potion-that he really loved Hermione- he came back to himself and remembered the last thing he saw was Bay beside him before he drank his glass with the potion in it. He was worried, he couldn't believe what he heard and only wanted to find Bay and apologize.

At lunch, he finally saw her, but she did first and turned around quickly. It amazed George how could she tell which one was which from the distance.

"Bay! I'm so sorry!"

"Tell it to someone who cares!" She barked and walked away.

He followed her and saw she met with Fred in the courtyard, he slowed his pace when she handed him his jacket and smiled at each other. They said their 'good day' and how much fun they had at the ball before she kissed him. He was a bit surprised, but didn't stop it; in fact he responded and then smiled at her. George's heart shattered and he backed away before entering the castle again. He felt his brain shutting down and his heart sinking to the ground. When it was time for the next class, he pulled Fred apart and he explained what they did. Somehow, they ended up liking each other a lot. George hadn't told Fred he liked Bay, but he assumed he knew. He was disappointed when Fred kept going on and on, how he was liking her a lot and how he liked being with her. He seemed so happy, George didn't say anything, just asked him to convinced her to listen to him. Fred did and the three of them talked. Angelina and Katie came in too and told her it was true. Bay felt like a fool and asked for forgiveness, which George gave it to her gladly. They hugged, but that didn't fix how he felt. He chocked again when he saw Fred taking her hand.

"I got over it and you should too."

But he couldn't. If it wasn't for that 'little' prank, he would be the one hugging her and kissing her and doing the jokes Fred does and playing with her and pulling her into his bed and having her tea spill on him. He got mad at Angelina and Katie and didn't talk to them for a while, but he figured there was no point. Plus, Fred seemed happy with Bay and she did too, that's all he wanted.
