Waking up early on a Saturday morning wasn't one of my most favorite things to do but this morning it was different, I was excited for the day ahead of me, it was the day of my date with George. I rolled out of bed, and noticed Gabby and Renee were still sleeping. They'll probably sleep right through till lunch, I tip toed around our room, picking up the clothes I was going to wear, I wanted to look nice, but I didn't want to look like I was trying to hard. I brushed my hair, and back combed it so it had a decent volume to it then put a thin line of eyeliner of the tops and bottoms of my eyelids, and a brush of mascara. I looked at the weather outside as the weather would obviously effect my clothes, that's if we were leaving the castle or going a walk around the grounds or something…which would be nice. I smiled to myself as the sky was clear and the sun looked warm. I tugged my black shorts from my case along with black wife beater with a golden wolf on the front, and picked a cute bra, I then shoved my turquoise fleece on and shoved my sneakers on and checked my reflection. I smiled as I actually liked the way I looked. My legs were probably the only thing I liked about my body.
I ran out from our dorm and down the stairs into the main area, where I had to wait for the stairs to travel back round to where I was standing, I realized I had ran so as I waited I fixed my hair to make sure it was in place. The stairs swung round and I stepped carefully on them, a few other students were waiting at the bottom, I walked down towards them, I recognized them from the Gryffindor table, they were friends with George. "Morning." I smiled at them.
"Alright." A kind of goofy looking guy smiled.
"Morning; Morning; Hey" Three others said, a girl, maybe just younger than me, with bushy hair…but I liked it. And then a boy with bright ginger hair like Fred and George, then the other boy had circle glasses, and a scar on his head…wait a minute. They caught me staring at it.
"Harry, Harry Potter." He smiled holding his hand out. I shook it.
"Sorry." I said smiling and shaking his hand. "Acacia Kendall." I smiled. I motioned to his scar. "Wow." I said, I had only ever heard of Harry Potter or seen his name mentioned once or twice in the daily prophet…but the boy who lived, was standing right in front of me. We began to walk towards where breakfast was. "A lot to take in." I laughed.
"Yeah, don't worry you get kind of used of it." He laughed. "You're from Beauxbatons right?"
"Yeah…how did you know?" I grinned.
"Never seen you around before." Ron smiled, looking slightly dazed. Harry and the other girl laughed.
"I'm Hermione by the way, this is Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom." I smiled at them both.
"Acacia!" I heard someone call, It would've been George. "Ah I see you've met my darling brother Ron." He grinned shoving Ron into a headlock."
"Oh I would never have guessed you guys were related." I smiled, sliding into a seat and grabbing a bit of toast a piling butter onto it, as Hermione slid into the other side of me, and Neville on the other.
"Hurry up and eat Acacia." George whined, shuffling himself between Hermione and I.
"Give the woman a break Georgie she only sat down." Fred smiled, winking at me.
I laughed. "Yeah Georgie, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
"Yeah well, I guess you're gonna be needing all of your energy for today." He smiled.
"Whey heh heh." Fred laughed. "Calm yourself Georgie." I laughed, as I grabbed another bit of toast and piled some more butter on that piece and then took a bite.
"Right lets go Georgie." I grinned and he copied, he grabbed my hand and we ran out of the corridors. I could hear Fred laughing. I liked the nickname I had now stolen from George's twin. Georgie, god…it was so cute. We ran away to till we had left the castle, and he pulled me round a corner and pulled me close to him. "Okay…here's the plan." He smiled, I could feel his breath hitting of off my mouth. "I borrowed a little something from my friend Harry just for today." He said, pulling a cloak from his bag. "It's an invisibility cloak…were goanna sneak into Hogsmade and I'm going to take you for a butterbeer." He grinned.
"Sneak?" I said, my face probably looking a little worried. "You mean we're not allowed to go there?" I questioned.
"Well fifth years aren't meant to go until next week, but I couldn't wait till then." He laughed, I bit my bottom lip.
"Oh why not…we won't get caught?"
"Never." He grinned.
"Promise?
"Pinky promise." He said holding his pinky out, I linked my pinky with his.
"Okay, I trust you." I smiled as we ducked and threw the cloak over both of us.
George grabbed onto me as we walked swiftly through Hogwarts grounds, "George, why must we wear this cloak if no one has even left breakfast yet?" I breathed, slightly out of breath as the grounds were so large everything seemed so far away from everything else. "Well you can never be to careful." He said, a slight cockyness to his voice, I could just picture the cheeky grin that would be spread over his face, I stifled a laugh as I noticed a giant man, with a long fluffy hair and beard, his name I learned was Hagrid, I had him for a magical creatures class. "My point exactly." George laughed. I shook my head, and a small laugh escaped my lips. "Right, see this tree over here. " He continued, nodding over to a huge tree with moving branches. Woah, I thought. "We're gonna slide down that hole at the bottom there."
"Umm…okays?" I said, probably sounding nervous. George laughed.
"Don't worry your safe with me, I wouldn't let anything hurt you" He must've noticed my face. "I'll hold your hand if you want?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I think I'd like that." I smiled looking into his eyes, then we both looked up into the air as we were standing directly under the tree.
"Okay, you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah Georgie." I smiled, he pulled the cloak from us and we proceeded to jump down this hole. I couldn't help but let out a small scream as I gripped his hand as tightly as possible as we slid down the big drop within the tunnel.
"Fuck." I said as we lay at the bottom of it, I hardly ever swore but I couldn't even help myself this time, Georges hand was still connected to mine, he went to get up but I pushed him back down with my free hand, he looked at me confused. "I need to calm down." I laughed, resting my head on his chest.
"Fair enough." He said, playing with my hair with his free hand, I breathed deeply and I could hear George giggling into my head.
"Shut up." I said after a few seconds, getting up and pulling him with me.
"How very dare you." He said, taking a step closer. I wondered for a moment what was happening, but before I knew it I was over his shoulder and he was running with me down a dark tunnel.
"George." I screamed, and my body flew about as he ran, I couldn't help but laughed and he joined, so here we are two of us running down a tunnel crying our eyes out with laughter. I could see a door at the end of the tunnel as we approached it, George put me down. I hit his chest playfully. "What even are you?...oh yeah, completely mental."
He grinned, "Why thank you my lovely." He smiled. "Okay this is Honeydukes through this door.
"Woo!" I grinned. "I love Honeydukes. " I jumped with excitement, he swung the door open and we were in a dark room, my excitement disappeared. I turned and frowned at George.
"Calm down, we're in the basement."
"Ahh." I smiled, and I grabbed his hand, we walked up the stairs into the store and my eyes got wider as we entered the shop. I ran over to the chocolate frogs and picked up four.
"Damn gurl." George said, trying the American accent.
"Shh." I laughed. "I'm saving some for later." I smiled, sheepishly. These were all I really fancied from the shop so I followed George around as he picked up countless things, after around half an hour walking around the shop, discussing life, and chocolate and sweets and Georges mischievous plans with his brother. We began to leave the shop, the time had flew by, we had spent half an hour in Honeydukes and somehow spent an hour and a half messing around on the grounds and such. Just as we walked out from the door George bumped into someone.
"Sorry." He said smiling, but his smile suddenly disappeared as George realized who it was. It was Professor Snape, the potions master at Hogwarts.
"Out of school unauthorized…detention." He said, his cold voice sending shivers down my spine
