Hey sorry for the wait! I've had some pretty crazy things going on in my life and it's given me writers block.
Hope you like this chapter!
"What do you expect their doing right now?" Angelina whispered to Fred.
Once everyone had gotten into their sleeping bags Fred and Angelina had come to an unspoken truce. Fred had told Katie and Angelina about George going to find Alicia and it had been quite some time since he left.
Fred sniggered. "Well if I was George and I was with Alicia I would probably be…" Fred paused knowing he shouldn't finish that sentence. "I mean George is probably in some dark secluded corridor with Alicia."
Katie's eyes grew wide from where she laying next to Angelina propped up on her elbows. "But Fred, if that's true they'll be found by the teachers…or worse!"
Fred shook his head. "Nah, George is fine, trust me. I'd know if he wasn't."
"How?" Angelina questioned still looking slightly worried.
Fred locked his eyes with hers. "I just would."
The look in Fred's eyes made Angelina believe there was no way Fred could have been wrong. "Well where do you think they are? I hope they aren't arguing somewhere," Angelina said, accepting Fred's explanation.
"Maybe Alicia doesn't believe him and she's refusing to leave where ever they are," Katie offered.
Fred smirked. "Maybe they decided to make up. And they are still busy making up." Angelina and Katie shared looks of excitement.
"Well let's go to bed now. So we can give them the third degree tomorrow," Angelina said snuggling deeper into her warm sleeping bag.
Katie craned her neck across the room as if trying to find someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Angelina asked curiously looking in the same direction.
Fred snickered. "I know who she's looking for."
Katie shot him a glare. "Oh really?"
"Does Lee Jordan ring any bells?" Fred sang.
"I wasn't looking for Lee!" Katie snapped haughtily.
"You're just mad because he's showing interest in someone other than you finally."
"Why would I care who Lee likes?"
Fred rolled his eyes. "Because you're used to him liking you but now that he's finally accepting the fact that you don't like him, you are getting jealous of any other girl he talks to."
"You should be a psychiatrist Fred!" Angelina said grinning.
Fred looked puzzled. "What's a sigh-co-eye-trist?"
"I'm not jealous! Why would I be jealous?" Katie said raising her voice.
"Shhh!" Angelina hissed pushing Katie back down into her sleeping bad as a couple people looked over at them annoyed. "You're going to wake everyone up!"
"You are so jealous," Fred argued, ignoring Angelina.
Katie looked like she was about to argue but Angelina looked like she was going to murder the both of them so she decided she had better just get to sleep.
The next morning Alicia woke up chilled to the bone. She opened her eyes and looked around realizing she was still in the same room she had been in last night. Seeing George, sleeping soundly next to her, she gently shook him awake.
George moaned and hugged her tighter causing Alicia to giggle. "George, wake up!"
"W-Why is it so cold in here?" He mumbled, refusing to open his eyes.
"We're still locked in this room, g-get up already so we can get out of here."
George seemed to remember the events of the previous night and sat up squinting around the room. His hair was all mussed up and he was having trouble sitting up. Alicia thought he looked fabulous. "I have to go to the bathroom," he stated, getting up and hobbling half-awake over to the window.
Alicia rolled her eyes. "Come on we have to try to get the d-door op—oh my gosh what are you doing!"
George was peeing out of the window as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Alicia slapped her hands over her face. "George! Have you gone mad! You can't just d-do that!"
He zipped up his pants and shivered. "Damn it's cold!" He said stretching his arms over his head. Alicia just stared at him. "What?"
Alicia shook her head in awe. "I cannot b-believe you just did that."
He shrugged. "What did you expect me to do, hold it?"
"Uh, yeah."
George ignored her and went over to the door. "Wait a minute, this wasn't here last night was it?"
Alicia got up and went to stand next to him. "Where did that come from!" Alicia asked outraged.
There was now a door knob on the door where there had previously been none. Alicia turned it and pulled the door open with ease. They looked at each other questioningly. Alicia took a step forward but George pulled her back.
"I'll go first," he said stepping down the dark stairwell. Alicia sighed but allowed him to go before her.
"Why was it so easy to get out n-now when we c-couldn't get out last n-night?"
"I dunno," George answered from somewhere in front of her. "Maybe it only opens in the d-daytime.
Alicia sneezed three times in a row and lost her balance, slid down a couple of steps and banged into George who then slammed into the stone wall in front of him and fell to the floor, Alicia right on top of him. The two of them were now sprawled on the stone steps, lying practically upside down.
"Why thanks Alicia, that's just what I wanted," George said sarcastically.
Alicia stood up and stumbled over George, stepping on his hand in the process. "Oh, sorry!" Though she couldn't see him she knew he was glaring at her. She headed down the rest of the stairs at quickly as she could without slipping.
"Alicia, where are you going?" George called from behind her. She squealed as he caught up to her and almost fell over again when he grabbed her around her waist.
Alicia moved his arm so it was over her shoulder and snaked her arm around his waist. "C'mon you slow p-poke! It's freezing, let's g-get out of here."
The couple hobbled and stumbled down the rest of the way together, their teeth chattering loudly. Every so often Alicia would trip and the two of them would dissolve into laughter only causing them to trip more.
Finally, they reached the entrance to the stairway and fell out into the daylight. George kneeled to the ground and kissed the floor.
"Eww G-George, that's d-d-disgusting!" Alicia said making a face.
George stood up and kissed her. "It c-can't be that d-disgusting if you'll still k-kiss me!"
Alicia rolled her eyes and the two of them ran the rest of the way to Gryffindor tower. When they got there they weren't met with the Fat Lady but instead a little man who brandished a sword on their approach.
"Aye young lad! Are you brave enough to challenge the great Sir Cadogan!" The portrait yelled.
Alicia and George exchanged looks. "Er, n-no…could you just let us in? We're f-freezing."
"I cannot let you in without the password! Come now, and fight like a man you coward!"
"Coward! I beg your pardon--" George snapped.
He looked like he was getting annoyed so Alicia stepped in front of him.
"Couldn't you p-please just let us in this once, Sir? I'm sure it wouldn't d-do any h-harm," Alicia said sweetly, smiling coyly.
George frowned and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Beautiful as you are, my lady, I'm afraid I cannot do so." He turned to George. "How ever did you get so lucky with a maiden like this?"
Raising his arm as if to punch the portrait, George pushed Alicia out the way but the portrait whole opened right at a first year was climbing out.
"Sorry," Alicia said to the frightened first-year boy who was backing away from George. Alicia quickly swatted George's arm down. "Er...could you t-tell us the p-password? We forgot it."
"It's 'flababerabluera,'" the boy answered before practically sprinting away from them.
"What k-kind of p-password is that?" George said disdainfully.
Alicia huffed and pushed him softly away. "Did you s-see how much you s-scared him? What were you going to do, punch the p-picture!"
George grinned at her. "I was defending your honour, my l-lady!"
"More like you w-were getting j-jealous. Of a picture."
"Shut up," George retorted, tickling her sides as she climbed into the portrait hole.
She crawled across the room towards the fire, not even bothering to stand up. George who was crawling right behind her, grabbed her leg and pulled her backwards so she was underneath him. He continued to keep crawling over her so that he was in front.
Alicia started giggling which set George off and the two of them crawled to the fireplace their teeth chattering, laughing goofily for no apparent reason.
When they had finally reached the fireplace, George sat down stretching his legs out in front of his and reached out to grab Alicia's hands. Still laughing, Alicia grabbed George's arms and he pulled her across the carpet until she was on top of him.
Breathing heavy from being so cold, Alicia grabbed onto to George and immediately, the couple began to kiss. George was propped up on one arm, while his other arm was wrapped around Alicia's neck, pulling her closer as he kissed her.
Alicia felt dizzy with glee at the intensity of their kiss. She had never been kissed like that before. If someone had told her to day before that she would be in the common room, arched up against George, snogging him like there was no tomorrow, she probably would have punched them.
They could have gone on like that for days if it wasn't for…
"NO WAY!" Fred exclaimed loudly.
Alicia started and turned to see Fred, Lee, Angelina, and Katie at the opposite end of the room looking at her and George in awe.
