George leaned forward as Alicia closed her eyes in anticipation. They were less then a centimeter apart. She could smell George's scent and had to force herself not to swoon. This was it. The moment they had both been waiting for.

"AHHH!" Alicia yelped at a crack of thunder sounded loudly.

George jumped slightly and pulled away. He closed his eyes. "Bloody hell."

"I'm sorry," Alicia peeped quietly. She was glad it was so cold because otherwise she would be blushing horrendously.

"You scared to hell out of me," George said running his hands through his wet hair.

Alicia didn't dare look at George so she interested herself with studying the cracks in the stone floor. Way to blow it Alicia. That was REAL smooth. She could feel George staring at her so she finally looked up at him. He was smirking at her.

"What?" Alicia asked, slightly annoyed. George started to laugh. "Why are you laughing? Stop laughing at me!"

George laughed harder and though Alicia tried to fight it, she couldn't help but laugh herself. "It's not funny!"

"Actually…it is," George said between laughs. "You should've seen the look on your face."

"That thunder was really loud! You were j-just as scared as I was!" Alicia huffed.

George looked in the direction of the window. "Stupid thunder."

Alicia smiled and shifted between George and the wall. "Thunder's not so bad."

George raised his eyebrows and said defensively, "Does that mean you prefer thunder to me?"

It took Alicia a second to realize what he meant but once she did she wasn't sure what she was supposed to say. "Of course not," she said indignantly.

"Thanks what I thought," George said pulling on a small section of her hair.

Another crack of thunder sounded but not as loud as the last one. George pretended to scream. "Oh dear, how frightening! I'll just yelp George's eardrums out!" George squealed, mimicking Alicia.

Alicia sighed, rolling her eyes and leaned against the wall. "Well things seem to be g-getting back to normal now," she said happily once George was done making fun of her.

George smiled and put his arm around her and yawned. "I guess we were being pretty stupid."

Alicia shivered and made herself more comfortable in George's arms. After a little while they both began to get some feeling back into their fingers, but Alicia's teeth continued to chatter. Damn she wanted to kiss him. "I'm s-sorry about all the h-h-horrible things I said to you today and yesterday…and the day before."

"It's okay," George answered contentedly, basking in the feel of Alicia in his arms again.

Alicia leaned to the side and turned to look at him. "That's all you're g-going to say? You're n-not g-going to apologize for all the things you said!" Alicia asked, outraged. George looked as if he hadn't heard a word.

"George? Are you listening to me! George…George why are you looking at me like that?" Alicia asked as George continued to gaze at her. She started to get frustrated. "Fine, don't answer me!" She snapped moving to get up.

George grabbed her wrist and pulled her against him snaking his other arm around her waist. Before Alicia knew what was happening George's lips were on hers and she was pressed against him.

After what seemed like hours (and probably was only a couple of seconds), George pulled away to gauge Alicia's reaction. It was only a split second before Alicia's lips crashed onto his again kissing him more deeply than before.

George felt the strange sensation of being extremely hot and freezing cold at the same time. Alicia's cold lips began to warm up as did her body which was pressed against him.

Although she was still shivering, Alicia felt as though she would melt when George's tongue snaked its way through her lips creating a sensation that went all the way down her spine. She relaxed into his arms and absenting ran his hand through his hair.

Finally, although reluctantly, they both pulled away. They were both out of breath and despite the cold Alicia's cheeked were flushed.

George smirked at the dazed look Alicia had and fought the urge to pounce on top of her. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, not exactly sure what he was supposed to say. Alicia smirked at him with a devilish glint in her eye and George's heart started to pound.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked both excited and nervous.

Alicia, realizing what she was doing, softened her facial features immediately. "Like what?"

"Nevermind."

The sat in silence while the wind howled outside. It had stopped raining but it was still freezing cold. George wanted to kiss her again but decided he should play it safe and wait a little while.

Alicia unsuccessfully tried to stifle a sneeze. George pulled her under his arm and told her to lay down against the wall.

"Why?" Alicia asked, not liking to be bossed around.

"Because you're f-freezing, just do it," George replied pushing her down in the cold cement floor.

Alicia rolled her eyes but her breath caught in her throat when George leaned over her. She frowned when she realized he was only lying down next to her.

George rolled over so he was halfway on top of her and pulled his cloak over so that it was covering the both of them. Alicia giggle despite herself when Georges arm wrapped around her waist.

"George what on earth are you t-trying to do?" Alicia asked.

George scowled at her. "I'm keeping us warm! What else would I be going?"

Alicia continued to laugh giddily and George rolled his eyes and rested his head down on the stone floor. When Alicia was done laughing she turned towards George. "Don't you have anything we could use for a pillow?" She asked disdainfully, looking at the dirty damp floor underneath her.

"Can't you just conjure one?"

"Er…I could try I guess," Alicia answered sitting up. George sat up also and looked at her, crossing his arms.

Alicia pointed her wand where their heads had just been and a little pile of feathers appeared in front of her.

George coughed trying to cover his snickers and Alicia glared at him. "Well I guess that's not too bad. Hurry and make more, those are getting wet!" George urged her on.

When Alicia had a fairly large pile of feathers made, the two friends laid down once again. Alicia couldn't seem to wipe the dopey smile that had snuck its way onto her face. She squealed and wiggled around until she was directly underneath George.

"What's gotten into you?" George asked, propping himself up on his elbows.

Alicia absently grabbed George's face with her hands. He raised his eyebrows. "Well, this is so exciting! It's like we're camping."

George looked at her incredulously. "Is that a joke?"

Alicia continued on as if she hadn't heard him. "Sirius Black is on the loose and we a locked up here all alone! It's like a dangerous adventure. It's dangerous!"

George sighed as Alicia continued to ramble on. What was wrong with her? George couldn't help it anymore and cut Alicia's rants off with a kiss. Alicia let out a little squeal of surprise as he kissed her softly and agonizingly slow.

"George!" Alicia hissed, her eyes shifting around as it to see if someone was watching. "I was talking," she said, her cheeks flushing. She refused to meet his eyes.

George leaned down to kiss her again but Alicia held him back. "You know," she said, trying to hide her smile. "We really need to get to sleep now."

"Nonsense," George said scowling.

Alicia laughed and squirmed around as George tried unsuccessfully to kiss her again. He groaned in frustration. Alicia shrieked as George leaned forward and bit her neck.

"George!" Alicia scolded, still smiling.

"Alicia!" George cried passionately, leaning over and kissing her before she had a chance to protest.

Alicia pushed him back before his tongue had a chance to do anything. "You prat! We have to go to bed!" She said laughing happily.

George looked as if he had just remembered something and he sat up so he was straddling her, grinning mischievously.

Alicia shrunk down. "Oh no, what are you doing to go to me?" she asked nervously.

George tried to look nonchalant. "Oh, nothing…just stretching…" he replied stretching his arms up above his head.

Alicia looked up at him skeptically. In one swift movement George brought his arms down. Alicia screamed loudly as George began to tickle her mercilessly.

George grinned as Alicia wiggled and squirmed underneath him. It had been a month practically since the last time George tickled Alicia. He actually missed it quite a lot. Alicia, trying to get out from underneath George, accidentally kicked him in a not so nice spot. She gasped realizing what she had done.

"Oh George! Are you okay? I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that!"

George groaned from where he was doubled over on top of Alicia.

Alicia found the urge to chuckle and ran her hand across his cheek. "George?" she said in a sing-song voice. "Come on, it can't be that bad."

George looked up and glared at Alicia who was biting her lip to keep from laughing. "Alicia…you have no idea."

Alicia let out the giggle she had been trying to hide. "Will you ever be able to bear children again?"

"Probably not, thanks to you," he said, scowling at her.

Alicia raised her eyebrows and pretended to push George away from her. "Oh well in that case I'll just have to go find Fred instead."

George was about to get mad over her referring to Fred but his excitement over what she was implying overtook his anger. He felt blood rushing towards where Alicia had just kicked him and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Alicia smirked as if reading his thoughts. "Done recovering, George?" She asked innocently.

George wasn't sure if she was referring to when she'd kicked him or something else so he didn't answer.

Alicia sighed and laid back down into the pile of feathers that they were using as a pillow. "Okay now we really actually have to go to sleep now," she said pulling George down next to her.

But George wasn't going down without a fight. "Alicia, what's that on your face?" George asked, sounding slightly alarmed.

Alicia's hand shot up to her face. "What it is?"

George leaned over and peered at her face to get a better look. "I'm not sure."

"Did I get it?" Alicia asked anxiously slapping at her face. George had to concentrate very hard not to laugh.

"No, over a bit," George said pointing in the general direction of her face. Alicia moved her hand, wiping furiously at her face. George bit his lip and clenched his fists in his fight to keep his face straight.

"Is it gone, is it gone?" Alicia asked look anxious.

"No…here, I'll get it," George answered. Before Alicia could protest George leaned over and put his lips to hers. Alicia let out a small groan of annoyance but George noticed that it didn't stop her from kissing him back.

George pulled back and flipped over so Alicia was on top of him and immediately began kissing her again before she had a chance to scold him for tricking her.

Alicia's hands found their way under George shirt and gently grazed her fingers up and down his sides causing him to shudder with delight. Alicia rolled over pulled George back on top of her. George deepened the kiss and Alicia wrapped her legs around him pulling him closer.

George groaned and pulled away swearing.

"Shh," Alicia cooed, pulled him in for another kiss.

After a few more minutes George and Alicia finally came up for air. They were both panting and found that they were no longer cold anymore. George let himself fall on top of Alicia.

"I'm not cold anymore," Alicia stated, her chest heaving up and down.

George smiled into her hair. "You were always hot Alicia."

Alicia smiled. "I was wasn't I?" She answered smugly.

George sighed. "I guess we should really go to bed now, right?"

"No, not really," Alicia said grabbing him and kissing him soundly on the lips. "I mean, who knows when we could get out of here."

George kissed her with all the longing had built up over the past couple of months. "You're right," he said in between kisses with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "We wouldn't want to get cold again now would we?"

Yay! I bet you're happy now.

Review!
I still have quite a few more chapters to do so don't expect a 'happy ending' anytime soon. Maybe you shouldn't expect one at all...I'm not sure yet.
