Chapter 9: Life goes on

It was now three weeks since the big fight. I was often alone. Not that the boys didn't want to be with me. I was always dodging them. They just remembered me of James. Rolling my shoulders I tried to get the tense out of it. The most of my free time I spent with Linda Pince the daughter from Madame Pince the ancient caretaker of the library. She got a liking out of me. I would help her putting back the books and sometimes would even take over her job. Today I sat at the desk and sometimes students would come and lend a book. I had found an interesting one about charms and tried them out now.

"Hey Georgie dear. What are you reading?" I smiled at Linda. She allowed me to use her first name.

"Hey Linda. I found a charm that would be a link between the lend list and the books so now books can't get out without standing on the list. All I need is your okay." She smiled.

"That's great. You have my permission."

"I will do it tomorrow. I have to be with in the Hospital Wing in ten minutes. Hannah will show me some new potions." Hannah Longbottom née Abbott was the apprentice from Madame Pomfrey and had taken over in my second year. She knew about my dream to be a healer and taught me a few things.

"Ok. I will see you tomorrow. But the earliest I want you to see here earliest 5 o'clock okay?" I nodded and made my way to the Hannah. Tomorrow was Saturday and the first Hogsmead week-end. My first date with Logan. The reason why James and I were not talking.

"Hi George!" I had arrived the Wing.

"Hi Hannah, I've got you the book you wanted." Hannah got a lifelong ban from the library because in her last year she succeeded in throwing the shelves over. Madame Pince had told her daughter what happened and so she didn't like Hannah really much. And every time she needed a book I got it for her. Opening my bag I gave her the book.

"Thanks so much! I don't know what I should do without you." Her big smile was infective and I had to smile to. Working here was good for me. I was away from the boys and don't had to be in the stuffy library all day. When Hannah finished her a long lecture I went to my bed and fall asleep in seconds.

After my rounds around the lake with Fluffy I changed and went to the Great Hall and went over to Al, Lily and Scorpius. I had eaten my food here on the Slytherin table since the big fight.

"You have to speak to Fred and Louis, George. They are desperately because you don't want to speak with them. I don't speak with the brat to but I wouldn't disregard them." I just nodded. I knew I had to talk with them. It was just so hard. We were always four and without him I would be reminded the whole time. Finishing my breakfast in silence I went up to make myself ready for my date. We would meet at 10 in the Entrance Hall. I had thirty minutes left. Deciding for black shorts, tennis shoes and a white top I made my way down to the Entrance Hall. My hair was flowing around my head and I wore just my clock. I saw Logan waiting for me. He was a sixth year Ravenclaw and was really nice. It wasn't uncommon that Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs would sit with the Gryffindors. I grinned at him.

"Hi, Logan!" I smiled up at him.

"Hi George. You look good." I looked down. My top had seen better days and my shoes which had the colour of grey were one time white. I rolled my eyes. It wasn't even the best outfit and I know that he just said that so I would feel good. Yeah right. Because it's sooo nice to know that someone is lying.

"Thanks." I said in a voice I didn't even recognize. It was too sweet for my liking but he looked pleased with himself. Pshh please. He just said I would look nice and it wasn't even true.

"You're welcome." He took my hand and after we got checked we made our way to the little village. We didn't talk much just a little about the teachers. As we arrived at Hogsmead he walked towards Honeydukes. I sighed in relief. I bought a few sugar quills and even tried the black pepper spiders. At lunch time he led me to Madam Puddifoots. My eyes got wide when I saw the trashy cafe. It looks like a cat ate something pink and puked it out. Everything was a different shade of pink and there were cosy bunks. He don't really think I want to spend my day there? Did he? Oh bloody hell nooo! Merlin save me! I can't spent my time in this pink disaster. It really hurts my eyes. Logan didn't even saw my horror and just opened the door. A small, round woman with black hair came to us.

"Hey my dears! How are you? Do you want to sit at the window or in the back?" Logan looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders. I didn't even want to be here let alone sit in this... this pink something, which was a disgrace to all the other cafes. But he just pulled me to a window. I saw my happy fellow students walking in the Three Broomsticks and would do anything to change with them.

"The girls always liked this place. It's rather cosy, isn't it?" Cosy? This place is scary. Everywhere are couples who pretend that they like this cafe and that their relationship is perfect. And doesn't he know that I am not like the other girls?

"It's nice." I said. Logan's grin got wide. The whole day was ruined and we sat in this stuffy, pink cafe and I thought that this can't happening. This should be my first date! Not just him talking about his grades and how good he is in school. After what felt like three days we made our way back and we parted at the library.

"I had a nice day with you!" He looked so sincere that I felt bad. He thought probably that I would like this mushy talking and everything he had done.

"Yeah it was nice!" I said and twitched at the lie.

"Maybe we could repeat this."

"Maybe." Never ever again will I go in this stupid thingy called a romantic cafe. And then he leaned in. I would get my first kiss. But it didn't feel right. I realized that I the strange feelings I got when I was near James meant that I liked him. And that I wanted my first kiss to be with him. I would have to talk to him. Logan came nearer with his face so I quickly turned my head and he kissed my cheek. He looked confused down.

"I have to go!" And with that I ran in the library. Linda watched how I rushed in and looked surprised.

"It's just 4:30. You shouldn't be back now!" She scolded me. I just dashed behind the desk and that was good because just one second later a puzzled looking Logan came in. I shook my head and Linda nodded lightly. She read her book and didn't even looked at my date.

"Excuse me. Madame Pince?" She looked over her glasses at him. I really was impressed how good she could act.

"Yes." She whispered. I was the only one she spoke loud with.

"I am looking for Georgina," I shuddered at the sound of my name. "She ran in here just seconds ago. Did you saw?" She just shook her head.

"But you had to see her. She RAN in here."

"Do you think I am stupid Mr Thomas? When I say I didn't saw her than I didn't saw her!" She said sternly. He nodded.

"So when you don't want to read or look for a book you can go!" He turned around and walked away. I climbed up again and sat down on the desk. Linda gave me a look but didn't say a thing about it.

"So why do you have to hide here?" She asked and I began telling her how my first date was. In the end we both just laughed.

"I was in there too. Just girls with no taste could go in there." In the end I spent the rest of the day with Linda. At dinner time I said good bye and went down to the Great Hall. I walked in and saw Fred and Louis looking down at their plates and James was nowhere to be seen. The perfect time to go to my best friend. I sat down at the side from Fred. They didn't even glance up to see who had arrived. I felt bad. They were just feeling so bad because I wouldn't talk to them.

"You are very observant today. What got your pants in twist? Is there no pumpkin juice? I would kill the House Elves if there is no juice." The heads are flying up and both looked surprised at me and then Fred hugged so tight it was hard to breath. Louis jumped over the table and hugged me too. NOW I could barely breathe.

"Boys!" I said but both didn't hear me.

"BOYS!" I screamed with last strength but they just ignored me.

"Let her go! She can't breathe!" Rose had appeared beside us.

"No. Maybe she will go away again!" My world got blurry. I tried to push the boys away but they were just too strong.

"Please." Then the boys were yanked away and I fell on my knees and breathe the needed air in. A gentle hand patted my back I looked up and saw Lily, Rose, Lucy and Roxanne standing next to me. I smiled and stood up. Fred and Louis looked sheepish at me and I just launched me at them and hugged them tightly.

"I missed you!" I said and both of them just pulled a little tighter. This was just too good. I was with my friends again. If just James was here. After we caught up on the last weeks we walked to our common room. I laughed when Fred pulled me every few minutes in a hug. Louis said he wanted me to give a piggy back and I was just happy. As we reached the Fat Lady she looked sadly in my eyes. We got friends when I asked her if she really wanted to be called Fat Lady. She didn't. Her name was Sofia. Since then I tried to talk with her every week.

"Work your magic." Fred said the password and they walked in. I looked over to the couches near the fire to sit with my friends but what I saw was unbe-fucking-livable. James and Stephanie sat together on one of the couches. He leaned in and gave her a kiss and then they snogged. My breath was gone I couldn't take my eyes from the scene. Just as I finally admitted that I had feelings for him. And it couldn't be anyone else instead? It had to be Stephanie The Slut. As Fred gasped they broke apart and James looked at us. I just turned around and ran. Like the day were our friendship was tested. Now I knew it was gone. How could he? How could he snog with my enemy? The girl who made my life living hell every time she wanted. The bloody asshole! I ran through the castle and landed in front of the Slytherin common room. I knocked on the stone wall and after just one minute a little girl opened.

"What do you want?" She asked annoyed.

"Can you get Lily please?" I asked her and she just nodded and went inside again and Lily was there under three minutes.

"What happened?" My lip trembled and she saw that I would cry soon. So she packed my wrist and pulled me in and upstairs and sat me down on a bed. I couldn't hold the tears anymore and let them fall. Lily just hugged me and I cried in her shoulder. Why does it hurt so much? I don't understand how he could snog her! HER! Stephanie fucking Lee. The school slut. He said she would be one of Logan's sluts while he made out with an actual slut.

"He-e... snogg...gg...ed heeeer!" I cried out. Lily looked puzzled but didn't asked.

"He bloody snogged that stupid bimbo!" This time I yelled because I was so angry.

"Who snogged who?" Lily asked.

"James bloody Potter snogged Stephanie bloody Lee!" I said and fell on the bed. I was so tired. Lily just patted my back and with that I fell asleep.
