A/N: Here is the next chapter. I was at home again today, so I decided to type it up. This is a spin-off story to When Fred Met Lilia, so if you guys want to check that out as well if you haven't already. You don't have to too understand the story, but you will have to for my planned finale story! So, please go read it. That was the longest author's note I have ever written! Oh, don't forget to review!
It was the Friday before the first Hogsmeade weekend and the last day to enter you name into the Goblet of Fire. Cassi was standing in a secluded corner, working on some homework while watching the people that was in the Great Hall when the twins came in, huge grins on their faces, small pieces of parchment in their hands, ready to enter their name into the Goblet. She watched as a few of the male Gryffindors gave them high fives, and couldn't fight the smirk when the Granger girl told them it wouldn't work.
"And why is that Granger," Fred asked, excitement and amusement on his face as he waited for her answer.
"You see that line there," Granger pointed out a smoky grey line that had encircled the Goblet, "It's an age line that Dumbledore casted himself. He's not going to be tricked by a simple age potion."
"That's why it's so brilliant Granger," George began.
"Because it's so simple-," Fred continued.
"He wouldn't expect it," George finished as he winked at Granger. Cassi watched all of this and the tiny niggling of doubt grew. She couldn't help but feel jealous at Granger. She was gorgeous; it's just that people haven't noticed yet. She's smart. And to top it all off, she was a Gryffindor. So why did Cassi think that George would go for a shy Slytherin like her? All of these thoughts were swirling in her head as she watched the twins link arms and drink their aging potion. Everyone went silent as they jumped into the inside the age line. Nothing happened. They high fived each other and the hall broke out into cheers, but right as they were about to place their names into the Goblet an invisible force shot them out of the ring and they landed on the floor. Old. They were sporting Dumbledore length grey beards and shaggy, wiry, grey hairs, making them look almost 80. That's when they began to fight. Cassi couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the twins fighting, looking like old men.
Everyone was laughing at their antics when suddenly it went quiet in the Hall as Viktor Krum stalked into the room and Cassi decided that, that was the best moment to leave. Her doubts and worries and fears began to creep into her mind again as she walked down the quiet halls of Hogwarts. One fear was settled though, George won't be in the Tournament, ensuring his safety. But the way he winked at that Granger girl. That's when she thought about how almost all of the guys were hot for Granger currently, and the girl didn't even realize the longing looks she gets, especially the ones from Draco. Cassi smiled at the thought of Granger and Draco. He didn't know that she knew that he liked her. He tries to play it off as hate and ignorance, but Cassi saw the look in his eyes whenever he would say something cruel to her. The pain and sadness that always swirled in his sharp, grey eyes. These thoughts continued, making Cassi oblivious to almost everything around her.
George noticed her leave and followed her out of the Hall, completely forgetting about Fred when he saw that sad look in her eyes. As he followed her, George could feel the beard receding and his hair returning to its normal length and texture. He moved closer behind her and heard her mumbling about the wink to Granger. His grin that he had plastered on his face softened a little when he realized that she was jealous and sad. He then grabbed her hand and pulled her into a secluded corner, a fake grin on his face.
"We really must stop meeting like this," George joked and the smile became real when he heard her laugh.
"Really? I was actually enjoying it, but if you insist," she made as if she was going to move, but was pressed in to the wall under his body. She smirked and quirked an eyebrow but didn't say anything and didn't try to move away. The smirk fell away when she noticed the sad smile on his face and felt the gentle way he moved his calloused fingers down her cheek. She sighed and rested her forehead on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. They were silent for a few seconds when George placed his hand on her chin, pushing it up to make her look into his eyes.
"I may not know your name, but I know what I feel. So you don't have to worry about Granger or any other girl," he told her and Cassi nodded, seeing the truth in his eyes. She watched as his eyes went from a bright blue to a darker shade and he leaned his head down to hers until their lips were barely touching.
"I'm going to kiss you now," he whispered to her, waiting for her response. Cassi felt a shiver down her spine as his hot breath hit her lips.
"If you must," she replied, trying to sound condescending, but sounded breathy instead.
"Oh, I must," he said as he crushed his lips to hers. She sighed at the contact that she had been waiting for, for years now. To feel this, his hands on her hips holding her close while her hands were in his soft hair, massaging his scalp. She shuddered as he moaned, the sound reverberating throughout both of their bodies. They seemed to have stayed connected for what seemed like hours, but was really only a few minutes. When they finally broke apart for air, George had that huge grin on his face, hair sticking up from where her fingers had been. She could feel her lips were swollen and tried to fight touching them in that cliché way so she moved her attention to her skirt and robes that had become slightly askew.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that so soon," she said as she brushed imaginary lint off of her robes, trying to break up the silence.
"I was. You have no idea how long I have been wanting to do that," he said, his voice husky as he leaned into her again, "To have my hands on your hips," he placed his hands on her hips, "To have your body pressed up against mine," he pulled her closer and Cassi's breathing intensified as he continued to speak, "To have my lips on yours," he laid his lips gently on hers this time, taking his time to feel her lips against his.
"We've got to get to class," she said between kisses, suddenly realizing what time it was, but didn't make a real effort to move.
"We don't have to go to class. We can stay right here," he told her and kissed her again, this time moving across her face and neck. Cassi's mind began to blank out as he moved his lips back to hers but then she heard lots of feet hitting the floors of the hallways and her thoughts came back to her. She pushed him off and smirked at the exaggerated pout on his face.
"As much fun as I am having snogging you," she began and his pout became a grin again, "We do have to go to class. I'm sure you would love for your house to lose more points from Snape because you were late, again." Her smirk grew as he gave another pout at the thought of losing more house points to Snape. She could see the conflict of staying or going in his eyes, and knew when his decision had been made.
"Fine," Cassi's smirk became a smile and he wrapped her in his arms again as he looked down to see her face, "But only because you say so, my queen."
"Your queen," her face and voice softened at the sound of the words, "Have you figured out the second clue yet?" She watched as he smirked this time.
"You'll find out tonight in the astronomy tower," he told her then walked away as she usually does, waving good bye without looking back. Cassi's mouth had dropped open from shock at the sight of him copying her.
"You can't copy me! That's my thing," she called to him, her voice ringing throughout the hall way, only a few of the students looking to see what had happened. George smirked as he continued to walk away, thinking about what was going to happen tonight. Cassi grabbed her book bag as she watched him walk away, shaking her head at his antics the entire way to her class.
A/N: So, what do you think? Like it? Next chapter is the date and the champions are revealed for the Tri-Wizard Tournament, but I'm sure most of us know how that ended up.
