In your Dreams (G.W.)

"Very Un-George Of You"

Christmas was just a week away. All the younger students were packing up to catch the Hogwarts Express that was scheduled the following day. The gang sat at their usual spot near the Black Lake. "No fanboys today" sighed Y/N laying down on the grass beside Cedric. "Ugh.... will you two stop already!" gagged Val looking at Fiona and Marc with their tongues down each others throats. "Oh! let them be, Val. No one stops you when you are snogging Penny senseless" reasoned Al. "Yeah! But do you see me doing that infront of you guys?" said Val eyeing them with disgust. "Any news on George Weasley?" asked Cedric leaning against the tree. Y/N opened her eyes lazily and picked up a grass and started playing with it and nodded her head. "Don't worry about that Weasel anymore, I've got something for you" winked Val. Y/N sat up . "What? Who? And please don't tell me you murdered George in his sleep" said Y/N. "As much as I would love to do that, it's not about that.  You see there? That Durmstrang's been watching you since the last couple of days" said Val pointing to a group of Durmstrang boys who were working out at a few paces from them. True to Val's words one of them was constantly glancing towards the group. Y/N looked at him for a while and nooded her head. "I am afraid he would accidently knock me unconscious with that staff of his" she said as she lied down on the grass once again , making everyone chuckle .

The following day Y/N was jogging down the corridor in a hurry . Madam Pomfrey must be expecting her. She was late. As she ran up the stairs, she tripped. But a firm hand held her by the waist and prevented her from falling. "Are you okay?" said a deep voice from behind. She immediately detached herself from the strong arms and stood facing him. It was the Durmstrang that Val was talking about . "Are-are you following me ,or something?" she said gathering herself up. "No- No ! I vos coming thees vay and you fall" he said nervously. "Thanks" nodded Y/N as she started to walk up the stairs. "Um....may I valk you to class?" he said from behind. Y/N turned around. "Oh! that won't be necessary-" she started but saw George climbing up the stairs just then sending daggers behind the boy's back. "But on the other hand, I would like that" she said taking his arm and smiling at him. George fell his heart drop as he saw both of them walking away arm in arm. "Kiss her goodbye now" said Fred matter of factly. George groaned . He had to do something. But what?

It had been three days since Y/N had started talking to the Durmstrang boy. His name was Gregory. He worshipped Krum."Arghhhh!!!! If I hear him speak about Krum for one more second! I swear to Merlin , I will bombard my ear drums" groaned Y/N into Cedric's chest. They were sitting by the fire in their common room. "Not to mention, he follows me around like a dog" ."Oh he is in loooove with you" teased Cedric. "STOP.IT.DICKORY" she punched him with every word coming out of her mouth. "He is in love with Krum! 'You know Krum vas the youngest Bulgarian seeker'! Yes Gregory! I was at the tournament" scoffed Y/N. Cedric laughed at her impersonation. "So, have you opened the egg ,that cost you half of your face yet?" asked Y/N looking up at Cedric. "Yeah! I tried to open it once in my dorm but the indiscrete screehing made my ears bleed" shrugged Cedric. "Indiscrete screeching? But the egg is the clue ,isn't it? Did you check around the surface for some kind of codes or Runes?" said Y/N sitting up straight. "Yeah! But, I didn't find any. Try if you want to" he said placing the Golden Egg in  Y/N's hand. She took it and investigated the smooth golden surface minutely. She then looked at Cedric who nodded, and proceeded to open the egg. A high pitched indistinct screech came out of the egg and she dropped it inorder to cover her ears. Cedric shut it up quickly. "Blimey! What in the name of good Helga was that?" said Y/N panting a bit."I dunno" shrugged Cedric putting the egg aside. 

Yule Ball was just two days away . Y/N still remained dateless. Even Potter and Weasley had found themselves dates. After what Ron Weasley did in the hallway in the presence of Fleur Delacour, no one had thought he would even be going to the ball ,let alone with a date. The Patil sisters had however said yes to the boys. Even Neville Longbottom's got a date for Merlin's sake , thought Y/N as she turned a corner to find George and Gregory in a heated argument. "You stay away from her, alright" warned George . "Anything bothering you boys" said Y/N as she sneaked up on them. "Oh! hi Y/N this boy vos-" Gregory was cut off by George, "Oh! nothing! we - we were just chatting, you know". George nodded with a small smile as he left. "I'll see you later " said Y/N leaving Gregory standing at the corner .

She was sitting at the Hufflepuff table surrounded by the gang . The Hall seemed bigger and looked impeccable with the Christmas decorations. It was breathtaking. "No one has still asked you?" said Marc sipping his Pumpkin juice. Y/N nodded. "I have got two murders to commit now" said Val slicing up her steak. George was continously glancing towards the table. "You still have time, Georgie. Ask her out" said Fred looking from Y/N to George and back. Y/N suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder, Fiona choked on her juice. "Will you be my date for the Yule Ball?" she turned around and sighed. "Seriously Fred? You think you can really fool me" Fred shrugged. "IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK ME OUT AND HAS GOT NO GUTS, THEN IT ISN'T MY ISSUE,OKAY? BECAUSE I AM ACCEPTING THE NEXT PROPOSAL I GET" she screamed at Fred making George red in the face. She turned around and stabbed her steak numerous time, until "Excuse me, Miss" she turned around to find Gregory with his one arm stretched towards her. She took it gladly . He planted a kiss on her knuckles. "You heard her Georgie! Now watch the scene unfold" Frred rolled his eyes as George was turning red with anger by the minute. That was it.  If not now then never, thought George as he stood up from his seat . All heads turned towards him.

"Vill you-" "WILL YOU BE MY DATE TO THE YULE BALL, Y/N?" screamed George from the Gryffindor table . Fred wolf whistled.  "OH YOU WISH , WEASEL!" Val scoffed. All eyes were on Y/N now. She was feeling dizzy and heart was beating loudly in her mouth. Also, she had turned a bright shade of scarlet. She took a deep breath and looked up at Gregory with a smile tugging on her lips. "Sorry" she said , nodding and Gregory let go of her hand. The Gryffindor table erupted in cheer and applause as George realized the breath he didn't even know he was holding. Both of them looked at each other for a moment and Y/N turned around chuckling and nodding. "Seriously, Y/N" Val grunted. "Shut up ,Valerie" said Al as she hugged a chuckling and red Y/N. 

She said Yes! She does like me , afterall . "That was very un-George of you" said Fred grinning and patting George's back. George didn't answer anything. He was giddy after what had just happened.
