More Than Heart Could Desire 《 A George Weasley Love Story 》

Chapter#21 Darla's Apologies

NARRATOR'S POV:

Anna and George were lying in George's bed, sharing a blanket and tightly embraced. Bright beams of sunlight fell on Anna's face, making her stir in her sleep. She opened her eyes slowly and ran them around, realising that she was not in her own but George and Fred's dorm. She keyed up to see herself in George and Fred's room.

She tried to recall the events of last night but couldn't remember anything. George stirred a bit and Anna felt arms around her, realising that her head was not laid on a pillow but someone's chest.

She lifted up her head and saw George sleeping peacefully with his arms holding her firmly. Thier legs were tangled together and their bodies were tightly pressed against each other. This time she tried harder to remember what happened last night that she ended up in George's bed but couldn't recall anything.

She saw George's sweater on her body and felt like his scent had captured her whole being. She looked around and saw Fred and Lee sleeping on their beds, still in last night's clothes, arms and legs hanging down from the bed.

She slowly sat up and felt like her head was being hammered. Her head throbbed and her legs ached.

"Ahhh, my head", she held her head with both her hands and screeched with pain. This woke George up.

"Anna", George sat up straight beside Anna and draped an arm around her shoulder.

"Georgie, what am I doing here and my head is aching so bad", she asked George, shrieking with pain.

"It's the hangover. You were drunk last night", George said in raspy voice.

"I was drunk?", she asked in shock.

"Were you drunk too? Did we do it...?", her eyes went wide at the thought what might have happened last night. This thought hit her mind because of the fact that she found herself in George's bed and his clothes.

"NO, Anna we didn't do ANYTHING. I wasn't drunk at all. I just couldn't leave you alone in your dorm when you were intoxicated, so I brought you here. Please don't think that about me", George felt embarrassed and disquieted at Anna's questions.

"No, George I don't think that about you. I trust you. It's just I don't trust myself sometimes", Anna felt a deep humiliation after asking those questions.

She looked down and there was an awkward silence for few minutes.

"I must go now. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to say what I said. I just..", Anna clamber out of bed. She started to walk but her ankle was still hurting.

"Ahhh", she sat down on the bed.

"What is it Anna?", George moved closer to her.

"My ankle is hurting", she held her ankle and saw that it was swollen.

"Merlin! how can I forget? I'm so sorry Anna. I forgot to tell you that you hurt your ankle last night", George said.

"Let me take you to Madam Pomfrey. Come on", he quickly jumped off the bed and picked Anna up in his arms.

Anna found herself staring at George without blinking, with love in her eyes, unaware that this had happened last night as well. George looked at her and smiled sweetly. She blushed and looked away, circling his neck with her arms.

It was 10:30 am and most of the students were up and about. As George carried Anna out of the boys dormitories to the common room, the students sitting there watch them wide eyed, speculating why Anna came out of boys dormitories, in George's arms, though no one knew which twin he was.

Students in the corridors were also giving them judgemental looks. Although, most of the students saw what happened last night in the room of requirements but only few were sober enough to remember it.
