Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 27

I sneaked into Gryffindor common room again that night to hear the fresh news of Harry and Cho.

"Well, how was it?" I asked.

"Wet. I mean, she was sort of crying." Harry answered sitting on the floor while we sat on the couch.

"That bad at it, are you?" said Ron.

"I'm sure Harry's kissing was more than satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days." Hermione said.

"You'd think a bit of snogging would cheer her up." I glanced at Ron.

"Don't you understand how she must be feeling? Well, obviously she's feeling sad about Cedric... and confused about liking Harry and guilty about kissing him... conflicted because Umbridge might sack her mum from the Ministry and frightened of failing her OWLs because she's worrying about everything." She explained.

"One person couldn't feel all that. They'd explode." I raised my eyebrows at Ron.

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon."

That was it. I couldn't contain my laugh. I started wheezing and Hermione started laughing at her own comment. Harry joined in and the next was Ron.

That night I had a dream about Voldemort's snake attacking Arthur. It felt so real that I went to Dumbledore's office quickly, still in my pajamas. I saw Ginny, Ron, Fred and George present there with Harry. They looked at me as stared at them.

"Miss Knight, what are you doing here?" Dumbledore asked me as I looked at Harry.

"Harry, what did you dream about?" I asked as George stood beside me.

"I saw Voldemort's snake attacking Mr. Weasley. I know it wasn't just a dream."

"How's that even possible?" I looked at Dumbledore who understood what I meant.

"What are you both talking about?" McGonagall spoke.

"It seems that Miss Knight and Mister Potter both had the same dream." He said. "Were you both standing next to the victim or looking down at the scene?"

"Neither. It was like I..." Harry started.

"It was like we were the ones attacking him. Will you please just tell me what's happening?" I asked him as he went to the portraits whispering something to them as the people on them started to leave.

"Exactly yes." Harry agreed with me.

"Look at me! What's happening to me?" Dumbledore was startled with Harry's outburst.

"You wished to see me, Headmaster?" Snape entered the office.

"Oh, Severus. I'm afraid we can't wait. Not even till the morning. Otherwise, we'll all be vulnerable." Dumbledore said as snape took Harry with him.

"Where's he taking him?" I asked.

"To teach him Occlumency. I'm aware that your mind is safe from him?"

"From now yes." I assured. "But how did we have the same dream?"

"I'm still not sure. Maybe Voldemort knows about your powers and is trying to use it."
He said as George grabbed my hand lightly squeezing it.

At the Grimmauld Place

"Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas. Here we go." Arthur sat on the table, stitches and bandages on him.

"Daddy's back. Sit down, everybody, sit down. That's it. Now, presents." Molly said as we sat on our seats.

"And a nice big box for Ron. Big box for you. And... Fred and George. Come on, open up. Now you, Y/N.", Molly handed us our gifts.

I opened mine and it was a scarf.

"Aww thanks, Molly."

"Try it on. It's a small return gift." Arthur said.

"For what?" I asked confused.

"For saving my life and you know, at the quidditch world cup." He winked.

"Come on, it was nothing. Still thank you." I smiled

"Thanks, Mum. It's perfect." Ginny said.

"Oh, Harry, Harry. There you are." Our attention was turned to Harry who just arrived. "Happy Christmas."

"Thank you." Harry thanked.

"Lovely to have you with us." Molly said hugging him.

"Thank you."

"A Christmas toast." Arthur announced. "To Mr. Harry Potter and Miss Knight... without whom I would not be here."

"To Harry and Y/N." Everyone honoured us and drank their drinks.
