That night after dinner Alice decided to make a list of names the others recommended for her new pet. She couldn't decide so Hermione came up with the idea of the list. After much talking and some arguing Alice finally had a list of names from everyone. The list was short but still had good names.
Cat Names
Ron- Lucifer
Harry- Raven
Fred- Sergio
George- Dale
Hermione- Lucky
Ginny- Ollie
Molly- Gideon
Arthur- Ducky (of course)
Alice loved all of these names but narrowed it down to three which were Ollie, Raven, and Dale. It took a while and they couldn't decide on a name. Bill came over to drop off brownies for his mother when he saw the kitten by the fire. "Well who's this little one?" Bill said. Fred began to explain what happened and how they found him. George jumped in saying they narrowed down three names but couldn't decide. Bill took the list and looked at the three chosen. After a few minutes he looked up at the group and said "I think Dale would be nice for him but what about Griffin for Gryffindor?" Fred started to say why hadn't they thought of that sooner. Alice decided on Griffin because it was truly adorable. That night Alice went to shower. While she was in there all she could think of was the way George looked at her all day. After her shower she got out and wrapped herself in a towel. That's when she realized that she had forgotten clothes. She was so lost in thought about George that she only grabbed underwear. She slipped them on under towel and was about to walk out. As she reached for the handle George opened the door and stopped in his tracks. There stood Alice in a towel and wet hair. "Sorry I forgot clothes and was about to leave for my room but you walked in and now your in my way." Alice said with a giggle. George proceeded to take off his shirt and give it to her leaving him in his pajama pants. He told her to take it instead so no one saw her naked. She took it and waited for George to leave but he just stood there frozen in place. She waited thinking he'd take the hint and leave but he didn't and Alice was getting cold. Fine, if he won't leave then I'll just turn around and put it on. Alice turned around facing away from George and took her towel off and put George's shirt on. She turned and said "Thanks Georgie" before leaving. George stood there shocked. First he saw Alice in a towel, then he saw her in a bra and underwear, and then she walked out of there like it was a normal thing for her. George eventually left the bathroom after 5 minutes of shock and went to bed.
When Alice got to her room she burst out into laughter. The pure shock on George's face was hysterical to her. It was his fault, he didn't leave Alice thought. She finished packing her things smelling the oversized shirt she wore ever so often. She finally went to bed with Griffin curled up next to her.
When she woke up the next day she got dressed in black shorts, a maroon crop top and converse sneakers. She turned to her bed and didn't see Griffin. She wondered where he could've gone then she realized that she left her door open a bit. Of course he slipped out during the night. She did her hair and makeup a was getting some last minute things together when George came in with Griffin in his arms. "This little one was curled up in my bed this morning, almost rolled on top of him because I didn't see him at first." George said with a chuckle. Alice thanked him and hugged George, which left him blushing.
Two Hours Later
They were now boarding the Hogwarts express and finally going to their second home. Alice got into a compartment with Fred and George, sitting next to George. They were all talking and laughing while Griffin slept peacefully on Alice's lap. They were in the middle of a conversation when Lee and another boy came in. "Hey guys can we join? This is Christopher by the way." Lee said with excitement. Christopher seemed nervous and very anxious. He quietly said to call him Chris and sat down next to Alice. Chris told everyone more about him and they all quickly became friends. Halfway through the ride Chris started to shift uncomfortably. "Chris are you ok? What's wrong?" Lee asked generally concerned. Chris started blushing nervously and and became anxious. "It's just this stupid binder. It's so uncomfortable!" Chris complained. The boys looked confused about what he was talking about but Alice knew what he was talking about. "So your transgender then?" Alice asked and Chris nodded. He really didn't want to lose his new friends over this or make them think he was weird. "Well that's great then! Will you be in our year or what?" George asked excitedly. Chris was very confused. They didn't think he was a freak or weird. "You still wanna be my friends? You don't think I'm weird?" Chris said nervously wondering what they'd say. Alice put a comforting hand on his thigh and began to explain that they wouldn't tell anyone and that it was totally fine but to explain to the boys what binder was because they were still very confused. Chris laughed and began to explain what a binder was and what everything was. Alice explained that both her and George were bisexual and Lee was gay. Chris smiled, happy to be accepted. He said he would be in Fred and George's year and was privately sorted into Gryffindor and was glad to hear they would all be together. "Don't worry buddy me and Georgie here will help you tie your tie if you need it." Fred said with a comforting smile. Chris explained that he couldn't use magic for his transformation because he was Muggleborn. He also mentioned that he was kicked out for being a wizard and how he lives in the Leaky Cauldron. Fred and George shared a look and Alice knew that look. They had an idea and she knew it was a good one because they didn't have that mischievous glint in their eyes when they were planning a prank.
After the Sorting in the Great Hall
Alice was sitting next to George with Chris across from her and Lee across from George. Fred was sitting next to George and they were all talking when Dumbledore  stood up and announced an important message.
"Good Evening and welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. This year Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament. These tasks are dangerous and potentially fatal. For that reason anyone under the age of 17 can not put their name into the goblet." Dumbledore then started to introduce the Durmstrangs and Beauxbatons schools. Both had amazing entrances and then it was time that Hogwarts gave them their welcome. Everyone started singing the Hogwarts school song which was fairly embarrassing in comparison. After the song and announcement the feast began. "This is totally unreasonable! Have to be 17 to enter.... BULLSHIT!" Fred shouted in anger and annoyance. George sat huffing and puffing containing his anger. Alice looked over and noticed that Lee and Chris were a bit closer together than earlier. Harry was next to Alice and had Ron and Hermione across from him. "So that's Chris he seems cool." Ron stated. Hermione and Ginny were talking about who they thought were cute and Ginny said Luna the Ravenclaw. Hermione obviously knew this with the way they looked at each other. Harry, Alice noticed, was staring at a certain blonde Slytherin. "Harry... Harry... HARRY!" Alice harshly whispered and Harry snapped out of his intense stare "What were you saying Alice?" Harry said while starting to blush. "I said you were staring at Draco again. When will you make a move on him?! You've been eyeing him since third year!" Alice whisper-yelled. Harry blushed even harder. His crush on Draco just grew over the summer no matter how hard he tried to deny it. Alice was the first person he told about him being bisexual. Nothing would ever happen between him and Draco. For one they were enemies and two Draco was straight as could be, not a gay bone in his body. Alice rolled her eyes and turned to George. Though he was already staring at her. Alice asked what wrong and he just shrugged. Alice got a chill and moved closer to George since he was always warm. This made their thighs touch and they both blushed hard as humanly possible. Chris saw this and laughed. Lee whispered to Chris that this has been happening for years but they never did anything.
Dinner was almost over and Alice was laying on George's shoulder while George tried to ignore the butterflies he felt. After dinner they all went upstairs to the common room. Soon it was just Alice, the trio, Chris, Lee, and the twins. Alice was laying on the couch, her head in George's lap while he played with her hair. Chris found himself laying next to Lee, cuddled up because they were "cold", Fred sitting on the floor, Ron had a sleeping Hermione on his shoulder, and Harry was brooding about his crush. They were all talking about the upcoming tournament, wondering who would be chosen. Soon Hermione woke up and went up to bed. Shortly after Ron followed along with Harry. George looked over at Chris and Lee cuddled up and laughed quietly nudging Alice to get her attention. "Look at them Alice. They only met a few hours ago and they're already are crushing on each other. It's kinda funny isn't it?" George said quietly to Alice. Alice smiled then got up from the couch and put a blanket on them. "Oh George they're not just crushing, they're in love and don't know it yet. We shouldn't wake them we should just let them sleep here. They're gonna be a good couple one day, I can feel it." Alice said with a smile. She said goodnight to George and hugged him. She decided to be brave and kiss him the cheek something she's never done before. That left George in shock. Was there a chance for him? Well that's what he hoped. He went upstairs to his dorm to get ready for bed. When he got up there, however he saw Fred hanging a trans pride flag above Chris's bed. Fred told him it was a surprise welcome gift for Chris and to not tell him. He also asked where he was along with Lee. George told him that they were cuddled up asleep downstairs. "Of course they are. Lee had his hand on Chris's thigh the entire time we were at dinner. It's cute yes but at dinner... really? I'm trying to eat!" Fred said with chuckle as he finished hanging the flag. George mumbled something about Fred getting with Angelina finally. But Fred heard him and said "Your one to talk staring at Alice, talking about her in your sleep, always thinking of her! Bloody hell you too get together already! It's been going on for years and I'm tired of it! Hell even Ron sees it and he's oblivious to love and feelings!" Fred said to George while closing his bed curtains. George knew he was right but he was scared and Alice would definitely reject him. He got into bed and fell asleep quickly to the sound of the rain and thunder with his mind still thinking about Alice.
It's was about 2:30 in the morning when George woke up to Alice standing next to his bed. He sat up and asked what was wrong. She said she had a nightmare about the night her parents died. In the moonlight George could see that she was crying. He pulled back the covers and patted the side of the bed. Alice climbed in and cuddled into George's chest as he covered her with the blanket. He kissed the top off her head knowing she was already asleep and under his breath he said to her,
I love you Alice.
