Friends To Lovers - George Weasely

Chapter 2

It had been another couple of weeks since that brief conversation between me and George in the great hall and although he continued to try and ask me about what I was going to say, I did the everything in my power to avoid him. I even skipped some of my classes that I was doing extremely well in just so I could avoid him even more.

I was currently on my way to the library when a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me into a dark passageway. "What the hell?" I grabbed my wand from my pocket and cast 'Lumos'. "George! What are you doing?" I scolded him

"I can't take this anymore! Just tell me what I have done? Why is that you're avoiding me and my brother?" he said with a look of anger across his face.

"George... I'm not talking about this" I turned to exit the passageway, but George stopped me.

"No y/n you're not walking away from me again, we're going to talk about this." he spoke.

I took a deep breath. "Look George, it's not you!" I looked up at him to see his face fill with confusion. And then I finally cracked. "It's Fred and Angelina" I blurted out. "What? Are you saying you like my brother?" he asked.

"What?! God no, not like that anyway"

"I don't understand. What are you saying?"

"When Fred and Angelina began dating her terms were that you and Fred stopped hanging around with me." I told him.

"What?"

"Fred had agreed to the terms before he told me and then Angelina took it upon herself to threaten me to." I said looking away so he could not see the small tear that had slipped down my cheek.

"No Fred would never do that!" he shook his head.

"He did George"

"Why would he do that? Why would you listen to him?" he asked.

"I did it because I wanted Fred to be happy. I did not want to come in between you and your brother George. If you are happy then I'm happy and that's fine."

"No, it's not fine! I'm not losing my best friend because of an agreement my idiot of a brother made."

"George I'm not coming in between you and brother" I insisted.

"So, I hadn't done anything to you?" he asked.

"No, you haven't so stop thinking like that. We've been friends for almost 10 years and that's why it hurt me so much avoiding you"

He smiled with a huge grin on his face and pulled me into his chest. "you'll never lose me I promise you that."

I smiled at his words. I felt nice to have at least one of my best friends back in my life. The last couple of months had been hell without him.

"Come on, let's go get some dinner" He slung his arm around my shoulder, and we exited the secret passageway. We sat at the table and just talked for a while. "Hey, I've just realised you wanted to avoid me that much, you even skipped classes" he chuckled. "Only the classes I'm doing well in" I laughed back.

We continued to talk and laugh about things when two figures approached the table. It was Fred and Angelina. She was death staring me again making me feel slightly uncomfortable. "George come on were sitting over there" she demanded him. "No, I'm perfectly fine sat here" he told her.

"George it's okay, you go sit with them, I'll head back to the common room" I whispered to him not wanting to attract any attention to us. "No, I'm not leaving you" he whispered in hushed tones back to me.

"I'm fine sat here" he sent her a glare. The pair shrugged, and then went and sat further down the table. "Look I don't care about the stupid agreement my brother made, I'm going to there for you, I'm not leaving you on your own" he told me. For the rest of the meal Angelina was sending me daggers with her eyes.

George also noticed the nasty looks she was giving me and so he spoke up. "Come on let's head back to the common room". I nodded and we both stood up, again he put his arm around my shoulder as we exit the hall.

As we walked back to the common room George cracked a joke which made laugh. "And there's the smile and laugh I've missed" he chuckled.

We entered the common room and took a seat in front of the fire. "So, what have you actually been doing the last couple of months while I wasn't around?" he asked as I laid my head across his legs. "Homework, essays and pretty much hiding from you" I chuckled.

"And where was it that you were hiding?"

"Can't tell you that" I chuckled again tapping the end of my nose.

"Oh, I'll figure it" he smirked.
