IT'S ALL A MESS

ALEX POV

It was dead silent between us for a good 5 minutes. Nobody spoke and George was still irritability looking at me for an answer.

"Let's get to the common room" Harry said to fill the silence.

As we all walked, nobody spoke for a while.

"Bloody Draco Malfoy" Ron Muttered under his breath.

Harry nudged him to shut him up. Everyone looked irritated, even Hermione.

As we got to the common room and walked in, as tense as everyones mood was, I loved the layout. For my first time being here, it already felt so homely. I could see why Harry loved coming back here, it must be such a change from the Dursleys. It was pretty empty as we left the feast early. Everyone awkwardly sat on the sofas round the fire.

"I'm going to unpack" I muttered. Harry raised an eyebrow, nodding his head. I knew the conversation was going to be flowing as I left. I walked up the stairs and got into my room. I was sharing with Hermione and Ginny thankfully so I could explain everything to them properly before bed. It was just the boys I was nervous to speak to at this point because from the looks on their faces, they hate him.
The door sung open suddenly and a very angry looking George stood in the doorway.

"George" I started but he cut me off.

"So are you just going to ignore me. Ignore my question? Is he the friend you've been going to see over the past week? Is he the friend you've been drinking with all night and being all secretive about?" George asked angrily.

"Yes but-

"So you've been sneaking around with DRACO MALFOY this whole time? He is the one that you somehow became friends with. Well, we say friends, it's clearly something more by the looks of it" he spat.

"Listen to me" i said while raising my hand slightly so he wouldn't interrupt. "Just sit down, listen to me and let me explain".

We walked to the edge of my bed and sat next to each other. He was shaking out of anger. I couldn't tell if he was angry that it was Draco or if he would be angry if it was any guy in general.

"I met Draco that day in Diagon Alley. When all of that 'stuff' happened with Angelina, I bumped into him. He was nice to me and we ended up going to a bar and drinking and talking. It took my mind off, well us. I didn't want to think about it because as much as I hate to admit it, it hurt me. I was hurt that you chose someone else. He kept me busy, he took my mind off it and he was in the same situation needing to be free from home. I never knew why, I didn't know he was a Malfoy. We never told each other our last names" I explained.

"Wait so you never knew he was when you were meeting him?" He questioned.

"No I had no idea, I only found this morning and we both decided we wouldn't see each other again. I didn't know he would be here" I said slowly.

George looked confused, then somewhat calm which very quickly switched to angry.

"THIS MORNING" he spat, "meaning you stayed, you and Draco, you stayed with him last night didn't you" George asked knowing the answer.

He got up abruptly. He never even waited for my response. I rushed up behind him and tugged on his arm.

"Wait George- I started.

"No, I clearly know everything I need" he spoke angrily.

"No listen to me. I'm sorry, but I thought you were with Angelina. I didn't know this was going to happen and I didn't know it was a Malfoy" I pleaded quickly to stop him leaving.

He turned around slowly and I looked up to see the upset in his eyes. He wasn't angry anymore, he was hurt. He touched my face and moved a piece of hair.

"Alexa, it's not even that it's Draco. It's just that it was someone else and not me. As much as that git makes it worse, I just, knowing someone else was with you, in that way, all because I made a STUPID mistake. It angers me, Just picturing it, it makes me want to bash his face in" he shakily whispered.

I took his hand as I spoke.

"Georgie, I'm sorry. It will never happen again. I want us to work. I spent all the time trying to forget you when all I did was the complete opposite. Just the way I feel around you, I never want to loose that. You don't ever have to worry about Draco or anyone. I choose you" I spoke softly.

I leaned forward to kiss George and he mirrored my every move. It felt so perfect. My tummy had erupted with butterflies and I just felt so happy. I was waiting for this since that first day we met and I finally knew I was right about him. I want him. I want to be with someone who cares about who touches me, who cares about how much I'm drinking and someone who genuinely wants to look after me.
We kissed for what seemed like ages. I moved back slightly towards the wall, leaning on the wall while George was pressed against me. I wanted him.

"Geor- 

We both instantly split apart. Fred, Ron, Harry, Ginny and Hermione were all stood in the doorway. George coughed slightly. Everyone had a different expression on their face. Harry was smiling slightly while coughing himself- he clearly felt awkward. Fred was smirking, along with Ginny. Hermione looked extremely happy. Ron just looked confused.

"So, you're together.." Harry started.

"When did this happen" Ron questioned still looking confused.

"I knew it" Hermione and Ginny spoke at the same time.

"Finally got the girl yeh" Fred teased.

"Tell us" they all spoke together.

"We had a moment when we first met. Never really worked out because of the whole Angelina thing. We decided on the train to give things a go, well Alexa wanted space but-

I took his hand.

"I don't think I need anymore time to decide" I spoke softly.

They were all in awe.

"So you and Draco..." Harry pushed.

"Might as well take a seat, we will be here a while" I spoke sarcastically.

I explained the whole story, in detail this time so everyone knew exactly what had gone on. They had a similar reaction to George in the sense that they were distraught that I even went to Draco's house and that we slept together.

"You slept with Draco". Ron stated in disgust.

"In her defence she didn't know it was Draco Malfoy. Plus that little git probably didn't tell her on purpose, he knew she'd run the second she heard" Harry spat, clearly pissed off at Draco.

"To be fair, I never told him on purpose either. It's happened, it's in the past. He's not actually that bad" I said firmly. I could feel George tense up next to me.

"Don't defend him. He is the worst of the worst. Once I'm done with him- , George spoke before I interrupted.

"What do you mean, 'done with him?' You don't need to speak to him about it" I spoke

"I am telling him to stay away. No chance I'm not telling him you are not available" George pushed.

While I was annoyed, I liked it. He knew I was his and he wasn't shy to say it. I have never had someone so protective over me and I loved how much he cared.

"Georgie, he's not a problem. I promise"
