Muggle-Born Princess: HPF

Hogsmeade Date

Esme's POV

It's time for my date with George and I'm a little nervous. I had no idea what to wear. So the girls helped me. I had a small breakfast and meet George in the entrance hall. "You look lovely" he tells me. I smile. We go outside and are meet by Tonks, aka Violet.

"George, my friend Violet" I say.

"Wotcher George" she says and he smiles.

"Great to see you again Tonks, how's being an auror treating you?" he asks.

"It's fine" she says with a shrug as I look at them confused. "I was in the same year as his brother Charlie and we were friends" she tells me.

"She taught us a thing or two about pranking" George adds.

"My best students" she says with a smile.

"We were your only students" he tells her and they laugh.

"Anyway, ignore me and enjoy your date" she tells us. "I'll try to be discrete" she assures me. I give her a grateful smile. A carriage appears.

"Your carriage my lady" George says opening the door for me. I smile and get in. "Riding or walking?" he asks Tonks.

"I'll sit up front" she states and climbs into the drivers seat. George gets in and closes the door.

"So any hints about today?" I ask him.

"Only that you'll love it" he tells me. "How are things?" he asks me.

"Some students have been annoying and boys are throwing themselves at me. I hate it" I tell him.

"It'll get better" he assures me.

"I hope so" I tell him. "Excited for the next task?" I ask him.

"Yeah, I wonder what it is" he muses.

"Well Fleur asked for my help finding a charms book and I saw Viktor swimming" I tell him.

"It'd be bloody freezing" he states.

"Probably not to him" I state.

"So you think it could have something to do with the lake?" he asks me.

"Maybe, guess we'll find out" I tell him. As the carriage comes to a stop. He gets out and helps me out. He takes me to my favourite shops. Not letting me pay for anything.

We then went to the Shrieking Shack for a picnic. "Having fun?" he asks me.

"I am, this is just want I needed after everything that's been happening" I tell him. "So when did you decide you liked me?" I ask him curious. As I play with the magpie pendant.

"Your second year, when you joined my brother and I for Halloween dinner. While the others went to Nearly Headless Nick's death day party. It was the first time I really got to talk to you and I enjoyed it" he states. "When Lockhart come up his Valentine cupid idea, I thought it was a good way to admit my feelings to you in secret. Though I still didn't have the courage to talk to you until this year" he explains.

"Some gryffindor you are" I tease. He smirks and tickles me mercilessly. "No, stop!" I shout.

"Admit I'm the bravest gryffindor you know" he says with a laugh.

"Never!" I cry as he finds my ticklish spot. "Ok, I give" I shout and he stops. "Your the bravest gryffindor I know" I tell him and he smiles. "And the silliest" I state and he chuckles kissing my forehead before letting me up.

"Anyway, we have one last stop before returning to the castle" he tells me. I frown in confusion. We had been to all my favourite shops and had eaten. As well as had butter beer with our picnic. So no need for the Three Broomsticks.

"Where?" I ask confused.

"You'll see" he tells me with a smile. We pack up the picnic and he takes me to the post office. Which makes me even more confused. "Hi George Weasley, here to collect two parcels" he tells the owner. Who looks at a piece of parchment.

"Ah yes, they arrived this morning" he states. "I'll go get them" he adds and heads out back.

"Them?" I ask confused as I notice Tonks waiting outside.

"You'll see" George tells me with a smile. Soon the owner returns and George covers my eyes.

"George" I whine.

"One minute" he tells me. I sigh and he soon uncovers my eyes. I see two beautiful magpies in a cage each. "Happy Valentines Day" he tells me.

"They're gorgeous" I tell him in awe.

"They are ours, Axel is mine and yours is Zeze" he tells me.

"A boy and girl" I say as I let Zeze out. She flies onto my shoulder.

"Yep" he says with a smile. "They are two years old" he tells me.

"I love them" I tell him and he smiles. We place them back in their cages and return to the castle. Where we said goodbye to Tonks. We dropped Axel and Zeze off. Before going to the great hall for dinner. Before we sat down, George kissed me in front of the entire school. Which made me blush like crazy as he went to see with Fred. I sat with Hermione and Ginny who were demanding to know about my date with George. But I ignored them. Focusing on dinner instead.
