George took to spending more time with Angelina during the next few months. Still taking time to play pranks with Fred and Lee. It was surprisingly easy to still subtly avoid Fred. As long as he didn't blank him Fred thought, or at least pretended that everything was okay. April 1st came and their birthday rolled around.
George got a few little things from Zonko's along with some honeydukes sweets. Fred got a noticeably larger pile of presents from Hermione. Lee made jokes as George felt his blood slowly boiling. Fred must have noticed because he stopped waking George up to tell him he was going to breakfast with Hermione.
May was passing in a blur. Day's falling into the same boring routine, wake up look over to Fred's bed, see he's not there, wonder where he is, remember where he is, mope in bed until Lee woke up and the two went for breakfast. Half way through his orange juice Angelina would slide into the seat next to him. The three would go to classes where George would finally see his twin, the two talking about everything and anything not including Hermione and Angelina which turned everything and anything into about 2 topics. After their classes George would follow Angelina to the library and study for his OWL's.
This only varied for the prep for the final quidditch game and weekends. On the weekend George would usually either play a small prank with Fred and Lee or sleep on a bench near Angelina.
May rolled on finally it was the last week of may, the 29th to be exact. Two days before the final game of the quidditch season. The 29th marked the first conversation about Hermione or Angelina since February. It was also a complete accident for the conversation to end up happening between Fred and George.
George had just been woken by a book being smashed over his head.
"whatsgoingon?" George grumbled rubbing at his throbbing head.
"If you're going to snore then go do it in your room, I actually want to pass my OWL's George!" Angelina scolded.
"bu-"
"Go!...Or you can help me study for potions"
"See you later beautiful" George sung quickly grabbing his bag and running from the library. George floated back from the library slowly, watching his feet gently clip clop against the stone floor. His right leg tingling returning back to life after having been sat on for the better part of 2 hours. He grumbled the password to the fat lady before climbing through the portrait hole. Ron, Harry and Hermione where sat whispering in the corner. George raised an eyebrow before moving over to them.
"Hello children, what are you whispering about?" George asked, throwing an arm around his little brothers shoulder.
"None of your business!" Ron snapped trying to push the arm off.
"Now now little brother, that's not very nice. Are we scheming."
"It's about buckbeak" Harry answered.
"The hippogriff?"George questioned.
"we're looking over the laws trying to find a way for him to be let off" Hermione cut in tearfully.
"Let off?" George said
"He's been sentenced to death" The girl sobbed.
"Bloody prat. Thing should have killed malfoy while it had the chance. I'm sure you'll figure something out." George said hopefully. He doubted there was anything they could do to save buckbeak now. Not with Lucius malfoy sticking his claws into the case but if anyone was going to free him it would be these three. "Just no life or death shenanigans for you three okay? I won't allow it. Anyway, I'm off to bed" George yawned.
"It's not even dinner time" Ron stated. "why are you going to bed"
"I've been studying with midget, it's hard work. Anyway night" with that George ruffled each of the trio's hair in turn before walking up the stairs. Stopping short at the sound of voices.
"He needs to get his grubby hands off her" Fred snapped.
"Off who?"
"Angelina"
"I'm sorry what are you talking about? I just wanted to know if you wanted to play one last prank before OWLS" Lee asked, lost.
"I'm talking about George sponging onto Angelina." Fred growled.
"He has been with her quite a lot hasn't he..but I don't really see the problem with that?"
"The problem is I like her and there he is flirting and touching her and-"
"I don't think I've ever seen him touch her..unless you count her hitting him as him touching her" Lee pointed out.
"She should be hitting me!"
"So you're into S&M... that's something I never needed to know" Lee chided.
"Lee! This is serious" George pushed open the dormitory door, striding in and walking over to his bed. The two stopped talking, instead choosing to watch his every movement. George flopped down, bag falling to the floor as his body sunk into the plush mattress.
"carry on" George sighed.
"You heard that?" Fred asked awkwardly.
"You mean you thinking I should keep my grubby hand's of Angelina. Yep heard that." George groaned.
"What I meant was"
"I know exactly what you meant and you're lucky I'm to tired to punch you right now."
"Punch me? You're the one with your hands all ove-"
"Fred you're dating Granger!" George reminded "Even if I had been 'touching' Angelina it shouldn't matter to you. You already have a girlfriend"
"yeah bu-"
"No. You're in the wrong here, you're being a dick now will you let me sleep" George snuggled himself closer to the bed. Waiting for Fred to respond.
"He's right you know. You can't get jealous of him and Angelina it's not exactly fair"
"Please, the only reason he's hanging out with Angelina is because he knows it will make me jealous then me and Hermione will break up"
"You're breaking up?" Lee asked, George lifting his head slightly off the pillow to look over at the two off them.
"No. Not yet anyway but that's what he wants." Fred argued, George suddenly pushed himself back up to sitting glaring at Fred.
"Hey. I said you could date Granger and I've done nothing to stop you guys being together. I'm hanging out with Angelina because she's nice."
"and because you're annoyed I'm with Hermione"
"we've talked about this, I don't care that you're with her."
"that's such bullshit George. You've been weird ever since you found out about me and her."
"Look if you want to break up with her and start pursuing Angelina again then be my guest but don't try to use me as the reason for it." George spat. "Now will you let me sleep. Go talk out your drama with Lee somewhere else." Fred actually growled at him before storming out of the room. Lee standing slowly.
"you know things would be a lot easier if you'd just be honest with yourself and admit you like her." Lee breathed before following Fred from the room.
The next few days where awkward, luckily between the final quidditch game (which they won fuck yeah) and OWL's the two didn't have to spend much time together. George did however feel bad for Lee and their other dorm mates. The tension in the room at an all time high. It was the night of June 6th. George was lying staring at the red curtains of his bed before he finally gave up on sleeping. Eye's roaming to the sleeping form of his twin before he pushed himself up and walked down the stairs to the common room. Sitting watching the fire slowly die out. It was 1am when the fat lady screeched open. George jumping up sleepily looking to the portrait watching as Mcgonagall climbed into the common room. Her eyes found him in a second. Lips already pursed.
"Mr Weasley, what are you doing up"
"Couldn't sleep" George mumbled.
"You might want to follow me Mr Weasley" She said sadly. George felt his heart drop, he was getting use to this. This sinking feeling towards the end of the year.
"Ron?" George asked
"They'll be okay. Maybe it's best if you wait until morning to see them actually. They should really sleep now."
"I'll get Fred" George said quickly walking towards the stairs before freezing.
"By them you do mean Harry and Hermione as well don't you?"
"Mr Potter and Miss Granger are there as well yes" George gave a short nod before running up the stairs throwing the dormitory door open. No one woke up. George moved across the room to Fred. Shaking his shoulder.
"Fred. Freddie wake up" George snapped. It took a few seconds but soon Fred was blinking blearily at him. He took a look at George's face before he scrubbed his hands over his tired eyes.
"that time of year already hu?" Fred joked "Are they okay?" He asked, climbing from the bed. George gave a short nod before the twins walked back to Mccgonagall.
Madam Pomfrey just sighed when she saw the twins. Before waving them in and telling them not to speak. Mcgonagall left quickly, Madam Pomfrey locking the door behind her before disappearing back to her office, leaving Fred and George with the sleeping third years. The twins moved to Ron first, looking at there little brother, coloring slowly draining back into their faces as they saw he was in fact okay apart from a bandaged leg and a few cuts and scrapes across his cheeks. Harry woke up half an hour later, Fred and George pulling the bespectacled boy into a short hug cheering that he wasn't dead. He fell back to sleep around 5 minutes after he woke up.
"Sorry I was a dick" Fred mumbled.
"Me too" George answered. Looking to his twin with a small smile.
"So.. thumb wrestle?"
"sure" The two spent the next hour and 15 minutes playing games quietly, it ended up not being so quiet which lead to Hermione waking up. George was to her in a flash, Fred moving slowly in his wake.
"I told you not life or death situations!" George mumbled into her bushy hair as he hugged her.
"I'm sorry" She mumbled. Slowly pulling away and looking to Fred, George moved out of the way as the two of them shared a quick hug. Before moving to the other side of the bed and sitting on the edge, Fred mimicked him on the other side.
"So what happened"
"I can't tell you" She whispered
"Come on I'm your best friend and you've spent hardly any time with me, I think I deserve a thrilling story."
"I'm your boyfriend" Fred pointed out, George cringing inwardly.
"Fine..but you can't tell anyone!" She snapped before telling the long and shocking story in a hushed tone.
"you should have seen Harry's patronus. It was amazing" She whispered, looking to George with excited eyes. Trust her to get a boner over a well preformed spell George thought fondly.
"I think we should break up" Fred said suddenly. George turned to him so quickly his neck clicked.
"Okay" Hermione said easily.
"Cool. I can't believe you didn't tell either of us about the time turner." Fred mumbled.
"Wait what?"
"Didn't you listen to the story?" Fred asked
"no I mean, you just broke up?" George spluttered, Fred and Hermione shrugging in unison. "don't just shrug. She just almost died and you break up with her?!"
"Exactly she just almost died, a break up seems pretty small to a near death experience."
"She would like it if you stopped calling her she" Hermione interrupted.
"Aren't you angry with him?"
"no? Why would I be?"
"He just broke up with you"
"Yes. And? We both knew this was a doomed relationship. I mean me and Fred...really? Besides he likes Angelina."
"You two are so weird" George moaned, head flopping against Hermione's shoulder.
"Not really. Be honest George did you really think we would last? It's like... me and you getting together. It's a recipe for disaster" Hermione continued. Fred suddenly started laughing, looking between the two of them before throwing his hands up.
"I'm out, I'm done. I'm going to bed you two are just..Goodnight" The two watched as Fred marched from the Hospital wing into the quiet halls before looking to each other bemused. They lapsed into silence for a few seconds. George still trying to understand what just happened.
"So you punched malfoy hu?"
"Yep" she said proudly.
The last few weeks of the school year passed quickly. Fred and Hermione where back to friends, something George still couldn't completely figure out. Angelina was back to rejecting Fred whilst loving the advances. Ginny was pissed that they didn't get her when they found out Ron was in the hospital. The house cup once again went to gryffindor and Snape was in a fouler mood than usual.
Since classes where done George and Hermione had spent time catching up on each other's years often sitting by the lake watching the black squid and before they knew it they where on the train back to king's cross.
"I'm telling you, we should open a joke shop. I know we've talked about it before but I'm serious."
"With what money?" George asked biting into his licorice wand.
"We've been saving. I' mean sure we need to save a lot more but come on, we have idea's for products."
"I think it's a good idea" Lee stated.
"and if we make some more products before the quidditch world cup we could sell them there!"
"You're going to the world cup?"
"If dad can get us tickets" George replied a smile creeping onto his face.
"Come on we save up till seventh year by a small shop. Loads of people from Hogwarts would come to it. I'm sure" Fred pleaded.
"I'm in. It'll take a while to make up that kind of money but yeah lets do it. If we make enough stuff this summer we could start selling at Hogwarts. Get ourselves a customer base" George thought allowed, mind suddenly filled with idea's. The rest of the journey filled with conversation about the shop. Flinging around names and idea's for different things they could make.
Arriving at Kings cross was always a loud affair, everyone saying their final goodbye's to their friends. First years enthusiastically greeting parents and showing off their new found friends. Fred said quick goodbye to Angelina before the three of them went through the passageway to the muggle world. Mrs Weasley spotting them and waving as Lee ran off to his own parents. Fred threw an arm around George. The two looking to each other.
"better not tell mum" They spoke before laughing and walking to meet their parents. Ginny was next to join them. A fat guy stood a few meters away, eyeing them nervously. George realising it must be Harry's uncle when the black haired boy walked over to him a letter clutched in his hand.
"Where'd you get the owl from?" Fred asked as Ron walked up to them.
"A friend gave it to me" Ron said happily looking at the minute owl sitting on his shoulder. George looked to the cute owl before he spotted Hermione walking towards Mr and Mrs Granger.
"be right back" He mumbled before jogging over to them. "Hi there!" He said happily.
"Fred" Mr Granger replied a small smile on his face.
"George" Hermione corrected.
"Oh. Of course, sorry chap" He said awkwardly, George laughing.
"Don't worry, even mum gets it wrong sometimes. I have no idea how she does it" George replied, referring to Hermione.
"Did you two have a nice year? Did anything interesting happen?" Mrs Granger asked, George slowly turning his head to Hermione before smirking.
"No. Nothing too interesting"
"Just lot's of classes" Hermione cooed.
"Well I would love to stay and chat unfortunately we've got to be going. I've got a conference tonight you see" Mr Granger said "Feel free to visit this summer though" George quickly bid the Grangers Goodbye, grabbing hermione's hand before she could follow her parents.
"We might be going to the world cup this year." He said quickly. "If we do you'll come right?"
"Of course" she said happily., hand gently squeezing at his. "But you should still come visit. Okay?"
"Okay" George replied before she moved forwards wrapping him in a quick hug before running off after her parents. He watched her go, turning her head back when she reached her parents and giving him a bright smile causing one to appear on his face. After a second he turned back round, smile still plastered across his face only to be met by Fred who wore a smirk.
"Don't like her my ass" Fred snorted before dragging the spluttering George back to their waiting family.
