Chapter 40
I Will Be Waiting For You
The school year came to an end. Harry was coming to spend the summer with us which was the best thing ever. He was pretty grateful too. I looked foreword to it a lot. Then I got to see George again which made everything better. I could not wait to see him again.
The train ride went fast. Harry, Ron Hermione, Luna, Ginny, Neville, Katerina and Giovanna and I shared a compartment. Getting off, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle ambushed us, but since the compartment was filled with DA members, we got by pretty well.
We finally climbed off the train. I saw the whole Order of the Phoenix there along with the rest of the Weasleys. George was there too. I headed towards them.
"Hi everyone!" I called.
"Karina! How are you?" Mrs. Weasley asked, giving me a hug.
"Great Mrs. Weasley," I answered. Then I caught George's eye.
"Come on," he beckoned, heading towards the exit of platform 9 ¾. I nodded and followed him
"Guess what?" I asked him
"Let's see…you passed your exams with flying colors?"
"Not just that," I replied.
"Then what?" he asked.
"I skipped to third year,"
"What?"
"I skipped a year," I said.
"So you mean your starting next year as a 3rd year?"
"Yep," I answered happily.
"That's great news Rina!" he said.
"Thanks,"
"It's finally summer," I replied.
"I know," George replied, "now we can finally be together,"
"Yeah,"
"The summer is ours, and ours to enjoy," George said.
"Yes," And then he kissed me. George and I leaned against the pillar, kissing just as my Mum arrived and Mrs. Weasley came out of platform 9 ¾.
"Ahem," Mrs. Weasley said. We broke apart. Uh oh. Busted.
"Hi
Mum," I said, nervously, "This is George. We've been going out
for the past 6 months," Mum looked surprised.
"And you never
told me?"
"I'm sorry. I was afraid you would get mad at me for it,"
"Nonsense," Mum said, "Liking boys is a natural thing. Finding one that likes you back is the hard thing. And if this young man makes you happy, then go for it!"
"Thanks Mum," I said. I turned to Mrs. Weasley.
"Well, just don't do anything stupid," Mrs. Weasley said, laughing.
"Not planning on it," I replied. I looked up at George. He smiled. Then from behind my Mum, popped a head.
"Amelia!" I cried.
"Careful," she said. Her belly had a huge lump in it already.
"How have you been doing?" I asked.
"Not bad," she said. Fred came up behind her.
"You okay Mia?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied.
"So when is the baby due?"
"Around
the middle of September," she said.
"Know what gender?"
"Not yet," she replied.
"Too bad," I said. Harry came up to us.
"Hey Aunt Tina," he said.
"Harry dear, how are you?" she asked, hugging Harry.
"Great," Harry replied.
"Well, now that we're all here, we should get going," Mum said.
"Yes,"
"Promise you'll come by to visit?" Mrs. Weasley said to us.
"Of course!" I replied.
"Well, then let's go," Mum said.
"Just wait a second," I hugged George good bye.
"I'll
see you soon Rina," George said, kissing me on the cheek.
"You
too," I said.
"I want you to know something really important," George said, "I love you and that won't stop. I need you to know that I will be waiting for you, no matter how long it takes. Karina, don't ever think once that I will cheat on you at all. Don't ever think that, okay?"
"Thank you," I said, hugging him, "I needed to know that. I've been worried about you meeting someone else next year. I feel a lot more relieved,"
"I'm glad to hear it," he said. I turned back to Mum.
"Let's go home," I said. She nodded.
"Bye everyone," I called.
"Bye!" They called back.
We began to walk out of the station. Everyone faded into the distance. Soon there wasn't a trace of them. I was happy though. Happy, as my face hit the familiar London sunlight. Summer was here and waiting. Harry, Amelia and I hopped into the van.
"Does it feel strange to be going home?" Amelia asked.
"I'm not going home," I replied, smiling, "not really,"
THE END
Author's Notes: Well, it's over…2 months of typing…god. Anyway, it was fun writing it. . For this book, I changed the ending for those of you who read the original. I was getting reviews that it was too tacky and they're right: it did ruin the entire story. And just so you know, I am doing the second book of this series. It is yes, the Half blood Prince book. It'll take a while though…hopefully it won't stretch out as much as this did. Although, knowing me, it'll turn out that way. LOL. Anyway thanks for reading and I hoped you enjoyed it. Keep a look out for the next one!
