LATER THAT DAY

I was having dinner at the Great Hall with Bella and the twins, Hermione, Ron and Harry joined us a few minutes later.

Fred was being nicer than usual and made sure to sit really close to me, I didn't mind it but I could see George was bothered.

Maybe the shirt thing made Fred more into me and George more jealous.

I tried to not say anything so that I wouldn't sound rude or arrogant, so Fred just kept on saying flirty things to get on George's nerves.

'' Well guys I think I should get going.'' I got up.
'' Do you want me to walk you back?'' Fred asked.

I looked at George who didn't even say anything or look at us, so I accepted.

'' That'd be nice, thank you.''

Fred smiled and got up to walk me back, we talked and laughed all the way there.

Once we got to my dorm we stood by the doorframe just having a chat.

'' I think I caught a cold because of you.''
'' You're kidding!''
'' I mean it, I have a runny nose.''
'' Too much information Fred, please spare me.''

He giggled and pulled me in for a hug.

'' Are you happy?'' he whispered gently.
'' What do you mean?''
'' Are you happy with George?''
'' W-What? I'm not with George.''
'' You're going to tell me you two aren't dating?''
'' Yes, because we're not dating.''

He pulled away from the hug but stood close to me.

'' Is he wanting to keep it a secret?''
'' I already told you, we're not dating.'' I crossed my arms.
'' Okay! Okay! I believe you.''

We both laughed and he put a strand of hair behind my ear.

'' Good night.'' He smiled.
'' Good night Freddie.''

I walked inside and took off my cloak to hang it, walked upstairs and put on my pajamas.

Not even a minute later there was a knock on the door so I went to open it thinking it was Fred.

''Freddi-''

Standing outside the door was George, with his arms crossed and an angry face on.

'' Were you waiting for Fred?'' he asked jealously.
'' I wasn't waiting for anyone.''
'' Hmph.'' he scoffed.
'' Do you need something?''

He looked me up and down.

'' Why did you let him walk you here?''
'' I thought you didn't care.'' I smirked.

He bit his tongue, looked around and pushed me inside the room, closing the door behind him.

'' I do, okay? I care.'' He whispered close to my lips.
'' Then act like it!''
'' I will! Just didn't want to look crazy.''
'' Oh right... because 'we're not dating', right?''
'' We are!'' He pinned me harder onto the wall '' You're my girl.''
'' You never asked me to be your girl.''

He took a big breath in and clenched his jaw without taking his eyes off of mine.

'' What are you afraid of, Georgie?'' I smirked '' Don't tell me you're still thinking about my shirt from earlier.''
