Chapter 8

Alex waited on his bed for another 20 minutes. She didn't want to go back into her room, so she just sat under the invisibility cloak and looked around.

George came in first. She smacked her head and silently groaned. Fred came in next. She slipped a piece of paper from under the cloak and put it on his pillow to let him know she was there.

He shut the door and walked around the room. George sat on his bed and lay down; the two of them weren't talking. They almost seemed upset. Fred took off his shirt and Alex forgot what she was doing there.

He walked over to his bed and noticed the piece of paper.

DON'T SIT ON ME.

He smiled and looked on his bed; Alex bounced a little to show him where she was. He laughed and sat down, drawing the curtains around him.

She pulled the cloak off almost immediately after the hangings were drawn. She pulled him close to her and kissed him wildly. He smiled, trying not to groan. She was nearly on top of him.

"So why do you think Harry is like that with her?" George said, breaking the silence. "It just seems weird that he's so overbearing."

Fred peeled his lips away from Alex. She protested. Fred cleared his throat.

"I don't know, I mean, we're protective of Ginny."

George shifted his weight and brought out a Quidditch magazine, sprawled out on his bed.

"Yea but, I don't care if she were to date Harry. He should judge a person by personality, not status."

"Mmmmhmmm." He managed to get out as Alex's lips pressed to his.

"I just don't get him sometimes." George flipped through his magazine, not really interested in it. "He hasn't been right since last year, you know, defeating the dark lord and what not."

"Yea." Fred gasped as Alex nibbled at his ear, kissing his neck slowly.

"I wonder if he just needs to cry." He said sympathetically.

Alex stopped and hung her head. She did not want to be talking about Harry right now. Fred groaned, wanting to feel her touch him more. "What if he did? Would you let him cry on you George?" He said teasingly.

He laughed. "I think him and Alex need to just sit down and talk about it. Speaking of which, have you noticed her lately? She's changed a lot too."

Fred was about to kiss Alex again but stopped. "What do you mean?"

He could hear George shrug. "I don't know, she seems more mature this year. She's kinda hot."

Fred bit his bottom lip hard as Alex stripped off her shirt. "mmhhmmm." He groaned in a small voice. "That she is."

"Ah, see you have noticed! I'm glad I'm not the only one. She has really hot friends too." George was rifling through his trunk again, not really looking for anything in particular. Fred was dying. George just needed to leave.

Alex pressed herself up against Fred and kissed his chest leading a trail up to his chin.

"You know that um…that one friend she has?" George was beating around the bush.

"Which one?" Fred said, managing a straight tone.

"Summer."

Alex stopped trying to unbuckle Fred's belt. 'Summer!?' she mouthed to Fred. He shrugged.

"The one in Slytherin?" Fred asked in a small voice.

George sounded sheepish. "Yea, she's….well…I think she's really pretty."

Alex bit her lip trying not to laugh. It was too cute. George had a crush on SUMMER!?

Fred lifted her chin back up to eye level and kissed her again.

George shifted around on his bed some more.

'Tell him-to go-talk to her.' Alex mouthed slowly so Fred would understand. He looked confused.

She sighed. 'In-the-library.'

He nodded. "You know, Alex is probably there with her in the library…why don't you go talk to her?"

Alex nodded as she kissed up Fred's chest again, rewarding him greatly, begging George would leave.

George sat up. "Really? Alex is there too?"

Fred looked down at her as she stripped off the belt. "Uh-huh."

She grinned up at him. George slid off his bed.

"Well, then you get some sleep. I'm gonna go try and snag me a lady friend." He said happily.

Fred's pants were sliding downwards. "Uh-huh." He replied in a small voice.

Fred peeked out of the curtains once he heard the door shut. He looked back at Alex and smiled.

"What has gotten into you?" He asked with wide eyes.

She shrugged. "I can't help myself." She smiled wide. "I just…I have so many strong feelings for you, I just can't stop."

Fred grabbed her and pulled her close, making her giggle.

Leaning her backward onto the bed he smiled down at her seriously. "I know exactly what you mean." He kissed her passionately, drawing the covers around them.

George hummed as he walked towards the library. It was still pretty early so he walked casually, trying not to look too eager.

He made it to the library and stopped when he saw it was only Summer there, towards the back with her homework out in front of her.

He looked for Alex but saw no sign of her.

George took a deep breath and walked over to her.

She saw him coming and smiled. "Hi." She said simply.

He looked around. "Hi, um, I'm George. Did I just miss Alex or something? I was told she would be here." He sat down across from her.

Summer shook her head, confused. "No, I haven't really seen Alex this week. Why would she be here?"

George shrugged. "I have no idea."

Summer bit her lip awkwardly and looked at the boy in front of her. "So, you're Ron's older brother right?"

He nodded. "Fred and I sort of…stopped…going to school so we decided to come back and finish."

Summer nodded. "Ah, ok so YOU'RE one of the Weasely twins. That makes sense now." She chuckled, her blonde hair floating in front of her face.

He puffed his chest out and dawned a cheesy grin. "So you've heard of me." He said in a deep voice.

She laughed and nodded. "You could say that."

He leaned in. "Good things?"

Summer nodded. "All very good things. Alex speaks highly of both of you."

George wiped a fake tear. "Awww what a little brat. Remind me to pummel her later."

Summer smiled. "Noted."

George looked around. "Would you like to meet here again tomorrow night, I mean, not as a date or anything, but you know…." George looked around trying to distract his eyes from looking at Summer. He couldn't help it. She was like eye candy.

She smiled and nodded. "I'd like some company, yes, that sounds nice."

George returned her smile and stood up. "Well then, we shall continue this tomorrow night." He stuck out his hand.

Summer laughed and shook it with hers. "It was nice to meet you George." She said softly.

"Pleasure is definitely all mine." He said, grinning ear to ear.
