Felix Felicis- A George Weasley and Adrian Pucey Love Triangle

36. Perspective II

I wake in the middle of the night. I sit up, looking at Fred and Lee's beds. They remain silently sleeping. Godric, I'm starving. I kick my feet out of bed, but instead of landing on the cold ground, they land on fabric. I reach down to see what I've stepped on, finding it's a pair of jeans. Guilt fills me.

These were Mira's jeans. My chest aches; my feelings quickly become hurt. She had refused coming to lay with me tonight. I hate being away from her, even for just the night. She was upset at me, I knew it. Upset because I tried to defend her. Upset because I hurt that stupid bloke. Adrian, I think bitterly.

My stomach growls once more, prompting me to slide my shoes on and leave the room quietly. I think of her as I walk through the common room. My girlfriend, my beautiful girlfriend. I wanted nothing but the best for her, but all I had done since we got together was hurt her.

I walk down the grand staircases, making my way to the kitchens for a midnight snack. I see Mira's face in my mind, soft and caring. She drove me so crazy, in the best way possible. I smile to myself, thinking of all her splendor. I can't wait until she stops being upset with me; I just want to see her smile again.

I at last reach the kitchen, quietly sneaking in and greeting the house-elves. They swarm me, all offering me my favorite snacks. I gratefully take everything they offer, but pause before I leave.

"Do you lot know how to make chocolate frogs?" I ask the group.

"Of course, Mr. Weasley! It'll only take us twenty minutes to make one!" A small, female elf calls out.

"Could you please make me a few? They're for a gift."

The house-elves all nod, beginning to bustle around the kitchen while I continue to eat my food. Before I know it, I am leaving the kitchen with a basket of these wretched desserts. I begin to walk back up to the common room. I reach the first staircase, but realize the silence of the castle is calming. I decide to sit at the bottom of the stairs, putting the frogs next to me on the bottom step. I rest my arms on my knees, enjoying the crisp air of the castle.

"Are you alright?" I hear behind me.

I turn my head, and my heart begins to race.

"Hey pretty girl." I call out, smiling.

"George?" Her voice sounds full of shock, "What are you doing here?"

"I was hungry" I laugh as I extend my hand to her, prompting her to sit with me. She obliges but doesn't look at me. I wrap my arm around her, asking her why she was up as well.

"Same as you. I was on my way to the kitchen." She smiles, finally looking at me.

"Luckily for you..." I trail off as I reach next to me for a chocolate frog, "I got you something special." I hand the frog to her, her face lighting up.

"Oh, you're the best Georgie!" She takes the frog and immediately unwraps it. Her expression warms me up on the inside. She is so beautiful, even as she takes a bite of the horrid thing in her hands.

"I still don't know how you like those, babe" I joke.

"Just try it." She says, handing me a small piece of the candy. If it were anyone else, I would refuse. I look into her bright eyes and excited expression and just have to take the frog in my hand. She looks expectantly at me, so I pop the horrid thing in my mouth.

It's gooey and horrendous; the chocolate is too sweet. "It's great, dear." I lie.

"Oh, you liar!" She laughs, shoving the rest of the frog in her mouth.

"I'm sorry. I promise you I will never lie to you, okay?" I whisper, squeezing her tighter to me.

She looks up at me, shocked by my sudden seriousness, and I twist my head to kiss her. I want to be gentle, but I can't control myself. I pull her closer, kissing her roughly.

"George, we shouldn't. Don't want to get caught, do we?" She pulls away, her cheeks red. I loved the way her cheeks grew hot at almost everything. She was so quick to get embarrassed; it was too cute. She stands, and I follow her lead.

I toss the rest of the frogs at her, to her delight. I lean down to kiss her, but she turns her head slightly and walks up the stairs, denying me. My chest aches, as it always does when she turns away from me. My mind can't stop racing to every worst possible thought. Did she not love me anymore? Did I repulse her now?

She takes my hand in hers as we walk up the steps. It couldn't be that she hated me. Then why would she turn me away? Adrian. His name pops in my head, filling me with rage. He kept trying to come between my girlfriend and I. I want to kill him; he has brought her so much pain. She continues to feel uncomfortable with me, all because of him.

Even after he had betrayed her, she hated to see him hurt. She was too kind, too caring. Suddenly we stop walking, but we are not at the portrait of the fat lady. She lets go of me, walking down the corridor and back. We must be on the seventh floor. My heart begins to race again.

The door appears as it has before. I quickly follow her in, excitement in my step. She steps to the bed, kicking her shoes off and settling into the covers without a word. I still stand by the doorway, watching her place her candies on the table next to the bed.

"Well? Aren't you coming?" She calls out. I step as quickly as possible without running. She giggles, her face lighting up. I get in bed with her, eager to snuggle with her. She settles into my arms with ease, smiling at me. Godric, she is so beautiful.

"I love laying with you, dear" I whisper to her.

"I'm sorry I hadn't laid with you earlier. I promise I wasn't upset."

"You were," I whisper. She looks away from me, not meeting my gaze.

"I wasn't." She whispers back.

"Alright. You weren't. You're here now, aren't you?" I lean down and kiss her forehead. I try to kiss her on her lips, which she accepts.

She then turns her back to me, wrapping my arms around her waist. I can feel her bum against me, and it makes my heart race. But she obviously doesn't want me to touch her in that way tonight, so I try to forget the feeling of her body against mine. I close my eyes, holding her tighter to me as I fall asleep.

A/N: Hello readers! I've been struggling a bit as I continue to write this story. I had planned on ending the story a while back, but I was asked to keep writing and I decided I would; just because I love writing it so much. That being said, I'm not sure where to go with plot now as the plot I had originally planned ended a while ago, and I would love to hear your input.

Would you still read if this fanfic became just a relationship fanfic with one of the boys (possible love triangle drama here and there)? If so, which boy would you like to see?

Or, instead, would you like the love triangle to continue for as long as possible?

Please let me know by either commenting or messaging me privately on here. I also have a tiktok (thelostdiadem01) where I post updates and I love to interact with readers there as well.

I hope to continue uploading daily once I figure out where I want the story to go. Thank you for your input, understanding, and kind words.
