Without you ( George Weasley x Reader )

Chapter 12

Y/n's POV:

" Y/n, you can not zey in zere forever! Fleur shouts to me as I lock myself in the tiny shared bedrooms we have.

I feel bad but I ignore her, not only have I been humiliated in front of George but I know my this job my dad is asking will not be good and I couldn't forgive myself if I was to work with him and do what he does.

" Fleur I told you, I don't feel like coming out of here to dance with you" I tell her slowly, it was enough practicing with the girls outside earlier for this so called dance we are having on Christmas.

If it was up to me I'd go home for the holidays but Fleur is super excited and is eyeing up anyone whom she finds attractive, she's hoping some Ravenclaw boy asks her out but I'm sure she'll get asked much more times.

" it's not me who wants to dance wiz you" she says cheekily.

Her answer catches my attention but like me, she's sly and I don't know whether she's saying that just to get me to come out.

" you are also in my bedroom as well!" She says as she pounds on the door, I share with her.

I sigh as I unlock the door but I don't open it or go outside, I just lie back on my bed playing with the hat of my uniform in my hands. Everyone seems to have to get theirs replaced because of permanent stains but mine is still spotless and brand new looking.

The door unlocks and someone walks in and when I don't see the shiny blue heels hit the floor I look up and see George, it's only been a day since we haven't spoke and that's nothing to me.

" please don't" I say when he sits on Fleur's bed opposite me, George has the tendency to comfort people but I don't receive it well and people pitying me makes me feel weak.

" I wasn't" he softly says.

When the rooms goes quiet again, I wonder what he came here for.

" I danced with Lee today" he says.

I look up I try to act interested but I'd really appreciate being alone.

" had to grab him by the waist as he tried to go dance with Angelina"

I chuckle, " taking Lee to the ball, are you?" I ask him.

" if you don't go with me" he says, I sit back surprised and George blushes.

" too forward?" He asks afterward, I just laugh and cover my soon to be red face with my hands.

" you make me laugh George" I say as I suddenly am more cheered up.

" yeah... I was joking" he then says.

I laugh again, " don't worry, I know you were" I say.

In a much better mood, I feel the urge to get some more fresh air after being cooped up in my room. I stand up and place my hand on George's shoulder feeling spontaneous.

" hey why don't we go do something? We sorta got interrupted last time but I'd love to go Zonko's with you" I say both anxiously and excitedly, it's what I need.

George's face switches through emotions quickly as he smiles, then frowns, then looks sad and thoughtful.

He glances at my hand on his shoulder as I naturally keep it there, with his hand he lifts up mine off his shoulder and holds it in his.

" uh" he says hesitant as he strokes the top off my hand with his thumb.

" I'm actually going to just head back to the castle" he slowly says.

He looks up with me with a nervous expression like he's waiting to see my reaction and I wonder why he's looking at me like that, does he think I'd be mad at him? Does he think I'm angry person?
