Re Placed (George Weasley fanfic)

Chapter 8

That night:
I'm laying in bed. I can't sleep, because I was thinking of what happened tonight. Every time I try to bring my thoughts somewhere else it comes back within seconds. It completely stresses me out. If I could shower or something I would've, but I don't want to wake someone up. So I grab a book from the shelve and start to read it to calm myself. I was reading 'Voyages with Vampires' written by Gilderoy Lockhart. I have heard about him, George told me that he was their teacher a couple of years ago, but he was crazy and his story's were all lies eventually. It's very interesting to read how he made that all up, the only thing he probably was good at, was writing books and casting memory charms. After a couple of minutes my eye lids are starting to get heavy and I feel my body fighting against the fact to keep myself up, but after several moments I fall asleep with the book still laying on my chest.

The day after was a beautiful day. Molly used a weather changing charm. It isn't really cold anymore, because the clouds are gone, what made the sun appear beautifully. Ginny, Hermione and I are sitting in the grass reading a book. I am reading 'Break with a Banshee' this time. It is a quite interesting book, but... I'm not concentrating on that... At all actually. Because a few feet ahead of me the boys are playing goofy games and having fun, but all I'm concentrating on is George. I try to hide a little behind my book, but it isn't really helping. When George spots me, he locks his eyes onto mine again and smiles.

Fred pats George on the back and yells at us. "So, are you girls joining us for a game of Wizards and Werewolves?"

"What's that?" I ask.

"Fred and I will explain the game if you come over here" George yells.

We come over and I stand close to George. He starts playing with my fingers behind my back, while they start to explain the game.

"It starts with only one werewolf, The Alfa" Fred says.

"The Alfa werewolf gets chosen by someone who doesn't play along" George continues. "Everyone needs to find a spot so you can't see each other and close your eyes just in case"

"Then for example 'dad' taps someone on the shoulder and that person is the Alfa werewolf and he or she has to hide the crystal" Fred explains.

"When the Alfa werewolf is chosen, he or she howls and the game begins" George says.

"All Wizards have armlets, but when u get tagged by a werewolf you have to take it off and howl as a sign that there's a new werewolf" Fred continues.

"The game ends when the Wizards find the crystal. The werewolves can't touch or puppy guard the crystal" George finishes.

"Oh and there's no magic allowed, so we should leave our wands in the house or something" Ron adds.

"Okay, I think I get it now" I tell them.

The rest is already familiar with the game.

I sit behind a big planter, waiting for the sign. After several moments I hear the howl and the game begins. Some people pare up together and George comes up to me to team up together and of course I'm in. This game is actually pretty fun.
At a certain point we split up for a second to look for the crystal so we wouldn't stand out to much. After I see something glow in the bushes, George yells "I found it!" But he isn't wearing his armlet anymore, so I run for my life. Of course I am way to slow for him. When he catches me, he kisses me and we both howl and laugh.
The werewolves win, because we were in advantage, because we had Fred and George. They are so fast, because they are so tall. The last wizard left was Ginny, because she is good at hiding and also a very fast runner.
When the game is over everyone goes back inside for Molly's pumpkin juice, except for me and George.

"Come with me!" He says.

"But..."

He grabs my hand and takes me with him to the meadow. I run after him and jump on his back and kiss him on the cheek.

"You can let me go now" I say after a while and he does.

We are wondering of the path. We just keep walking and George holds my hand.

"So, what do we say when we come back?" I ask smiley. "I mean, they probably will look weird at us or something" I say a little concerned.

"I don't care" he says. "Just ignore them"

"Is that how you handle your family?" I say laughing.

"Yes or we just say it's a prank" he answers while laughing too.

We walk for another couple of minutes, but we don't want to go to far, so we head back and it starts getting colder and darker again. Molly's spell is probably starting to fade. Now we are really starting to get into the Christmas spirit. And when we arrive, they all did look at us a little weird for a second, but continue with what they are doing again within a moment. And we just sit by the fire and join a game of exploding snap.
