The Witches Curse / George Weasley

Chapter 18

The next morning came rather quickly and it was 6 A.M. Tris woke up an hour early just to be sure she didn't oversleep, and to help the other two if they were to oversleep. She sat up in her bed and grabbed her notebook and quill out of her bag. The sun hasn't risen yet and it was still dark in the room. Tris however wanted to write in her notebook. She was working on a story and had some ideas that she wanted to write down before she forgot them.

When she stayed at the burrow, Harry taught her a charm that made a bright light glow from the tip of your wand. He practiced it all the time when he wanted to read his books late at night at the Dursley's. Quietly, she grabbed her wand and placed the covers over her head.

"Lumos Maxima." she whispered and a bright little light glowed from her wand. She was so proud of herself for performing magic so well for the first time. She thought maybe she did actually have a chance to progress easily in her magic and to move up quickly to be in her appointed year with the twins.

She jotted down her ideas in her notebook and placed it back in her bag. The charm then wore off and she quietly laid back in her bed until it was time to get ready for the day. She was so excited to be able to learn magic and today was her first day in her classes. She was a little embarrassed to be with all of the first years, but maybe she would learn quickly and advance to the next years level.

The sun began to peak through the curtains and it shown right in Ginny's face. "Mum, it's too early. Turn the lights off." Ginny mumbled. Hermione heard Ginny's mumbling and sat up in her bed. Her curly brown locks were frizzy from her bed head, and she tried to comb them down using her hand but realized it was no use.

Tris then stood from her bed and walked over to Ginny. "It's not your mom, it's the sun telling you to get up." Trista said at the foot of Ginny's bed. Ginny rolled on her stomach and started laughing in her pillow. "What's so funny now, Ginny?" Tris said rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "The way you say mum. MAWWM." Ginny said laughing to herself again.

Ginny always loved Trista's American accent. Some things Tris said, Ginny thought it was hilarious. "Well, now we have French students in our school. I can't imagine how you're gonna be when you hear them speak." Tris said walking back over to her bed and sitting back down.

Ginny just kept her head buried in her pillow and continued to giggle. She was always in a giggling mood when she had a good nights sleep. Hermione then walked over to Trista and sat beside her on her bed. "You think she'll notice if we leave her?" Hermione asked Tris. "At this point, probably not." Tris said looking at Hermione and laughing. The two Gryffindors then made their way down the little staircase and into the common room.

In the corner of the room sat a little table with a coffee/tea pot on top. Tris then walked over to the pot and started to make herself some coffee while Hermione made tea. After making their beverages, the two then walked over to the couch that sat in front of the fireplace. Tris and Hermione were both quiet and were still trying to wake up fully.

Moments later, footsteps were heard coming from the boys dormitories. Tris and Hermione turned around and saw Neville. "Hey guys." Neville said sluggishly as he rubbed his eyes. "Morning, Neville." Tris replied. She then scooted over on the couch and made room for Neville to sit beside her. The two girls continued to drink their hot beverages and more of the teens started to wake up and head to the common room.

Angelina, Lavender, Dean, Seamus, and a few others were now in the common room. Ginny finally came down the stairs with her ginger hair tied in a ponytail to tame her wild bed hair. She yawned and plopped on the couch on the other side of Tris.

Ginny then slumped over and leaned her head on Trista's shoulder. "Morning sleepy head." Tris said as she patted Ginny on the head. Mumbles could be heard escaping the teens mouth. Tris just laughed and continued drinking her coffee.

Suddenly, she felt someone was behind her, playing around with her hair. She paused for a second and then leaned her head back to see who it was. It was George. He looked down at her and smiled. "Mornin." he said as he let go of her hair and walked around to the sofa and sat next to Harry and Ron who were practically still asleep. "Mornin." she replied back with a small grin on her face.

"Right, well, Tris come on, we need to get dressed. Ginny, you to!" Hermione demanded. Ginny rolled her head off of Trista's shoulder and grumbled. Tris then stood and pulled Ginny to her feet. "Come on." Tris said as she pulled Ginny to the stairs that led them to their dormitory. Tris turned back around and gave George a slight smile before heading up the stairs herself with Ginny, and Hermione.

All of the teens, including the boys, all went and put on their robes. They all had their books in hand and their wands in the robes pocket. The normal group of Grffindors stayed together and walked out of the common room and down the hallways. Lucy and Edmund both came around the corner and joined their tight group of friends.

They all talked on the way to the Great Hall where breakfast was already prepared. The group split up for now and went to their own houses table to eat with their housemates.

Ron and Peter immediately sat down and started filling up their plates with all of the yummy foods. Tris sat down beside Peter and George sat on the other side of her. She sat down and started laughing to herself because of how hungry Peter and Ron were. Tris made no attempt to eat breakfast. She never has. For some reason, her body wouldn't let her eat breakfast.

Her anxiety was also a reason why she wouldn't eat breakfast or hardly any food in front of people. Especially in a big group like what she's in right now. She hated feeling like people were watching her while she ate. She didn't even like eating in front of her friends. She hated that. She didn't even like eating at the burrow when she stayed there. But, that's just how she is.

George noticed she wasn't eating, but made sure not to call her out for it. She had informed him one night about how she has something called body dysmorphia and she doesn't like to talk about food or her body. He understood and just let her move at her own pace.

She noticed him look her way, and she made a move. She grabbed a napkin, and put some fresh green grapes on it and ate a little something to make George feel better. He noticed what she did, and he just smiled at her. She smiled back without saying a word and popped a grape into her mouth.

At this time, Dumbledore made his usual morning announcements, and told the students to enjoy their classes. He also made sure to remind everyone of tonight's events, and to think hard and long on their decisions. The students then finished their breakfast and were off to their first class of the day.
