Yeah, I know. It's slash you might hate me for it! But it had to be done. I really hate George/Angelina… it's so blegh. So that's why this is George/Katie! They're cute, and possibly one of my favorite ships. But I can't say no to a well-written Katie/Oliver fic either.

"The sea is wine red, this is the death of beauty…."
"BEAUTY IS DYING?!?! Oh no! Not Beauty, what will Beast do?!?!"
"Oh shut up George, you prat. It's only a song… and since when do you know about 'Beauty and the Beast'?? It's a muggle thing!"
"Well, when you have my dad, you get to know about the strangest muggle things. Does the erm—VPR thingy in secret so Mum won't yell."
"Aah, you mean VCR?"
"That's what I said!"
"Sure…"
"Anyway, I'm headed to the kitchens. I have a hankering for a baked potato. Care to join me?"
"Didn't you have at least eight of those at dinner?!"
"Well… it was nine, but you can never have to many!"
"Potato freak."
"Erm- disgrace to all things potato-ey."
"Potato-ey? Nice one Weasley."
"Thanks Bell."
"Do you know the meaning of sarcasm?"
"Isn't that what Harry always uses? Its tiring."
"I must agree ol' chap."
…
"What's with the scowl Weasley?"
"Nothing… You know you're like the perfect baked potato."
"Really… do tell the resemblance."
"Oh it's a metamorphic thing really."
"You mean metaphoric?"
"That's what I said!"
"Right… you were saying?"
"Well your hair is like the buttery golden potato, and you're eyes are like the tasty green onions and your freckles are like the little speckles of pepper and then you, yourself are like the perfect shape…"
"Are you saying I'm shaped like a potato?!?!"
"No…. I'm saying you have a perfect shape, just as the perfect potato would have a certain shape that is specific to its potato perfectionism."
"Potatoes have to have a specific shape?"
"Yep."
"You're strange Weasley."
"As I was saying, you have all the characteristics that remind of a perfect baked potato. Which is why I'm going to do this."
…
…
…
"What the bloody hell was that George?!"
"You didn't seem to mind Katie-kates! In fact, you responded back."
"Er—well… Did you call me 'Katie-kates'?
"Why yes I did. And I'm about to it again, Katie-kates."
"Whatever Weasley."
…
"Took me by surprise Bell. Bloody good kisser you are though."
"Well I've had a lot of practice."
"Practice? What does that mean Katie? Katie? KATIE COME BACK!"

And that was a little bit of slash (even though it should be canon).
Is this getting to cliché? Sorry if it is, but I have fun writing these.
BTW: The song Katie was singing is "Wine Red" by the Hush Sound. Best band ever! Funny how I discovered them through a particularly good piece of fanfiction…
Stay tuned! I plan to add two or three more chapters before I end this piece.
