The Weasley Twin's Best Friend (George Weasley x OC)

Chapter 22

It was Christmas Eve. And also the day of the Yule Ball. I was anxious. I had never been to a dance before. I got up with the sun, this Saturday, instead of sleeping in until my usual noon. I slipped on sweats and a t-shirt before heading downstairs. Once downstairs, I found George sitting on the couch. I walked up behind him, before leaning over his shoulder and whispering 'boo' into his ear. He jumped slightly. I came around the corner of the couch and went to sit beside him. 

"Bloody hell. You scared me, love."

"That was the point," I laughed.

"So, are you excited for tonight?"

"Yes, of course, I am a little nervous though."

"You'll be with me the whole night. There is absolutely nothing to be nervous about."

"Yeah, I know. But what if I step on your toes."

"You won't and if you do I'll step on yours to make it even."

"Promise me?" I said with a laugh.

"I promise. And when I said the whole night-" He started and leaned in and whispered, "I meant the even after the dance." I blushed a deep scarlet, he then moved down to my neck and kissed me softly. He pulled away with a smirk on his face. Now I was even more nervous. "Come on, let's go eat."

We got up from the couch and he grabbed my hand, our fingers intertwined, and guided me through the halls until we reached the Great Hall. We found our friends and sat down. George was next to me and Ginny and Hermione were across from us. We were eating our food when Hermione said something.

"Do you want to get ready with us, Noah?"

"Me? Yeah. Of course, I do. I've been waiting for you to ask."

"Great."

"Oh, we can meet in my dorm, there's more room in there." I have been wanting to spend more time with the two girls. The last time I hung out with Hermione had been right before the Quidditch World Cup, that was months ago. "Let's say about three?"

"Works great for me. What about you Ginny?"

"It's a perfectly good time."

At three o'clock on the dot, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to find Hermione and Ginny on the other side with cases and garment bags in their hands. 

"Come on in," I said to the two girls in front of me.

"Wow! You were right. There is a lot more space in here," Hermione said.

"Perks of having your room, I guess."

"I guess so," this was Ginny.

I used the duplication spell we had learned in Charms class and made two more chairs for the girls. I had brought some things from home to do my nails and my hair and make-up. I wasn't surprised when I saw that Hermione had done the same. Ginny didn't have much in her case except for a Sleekeazy Hair Potion, and a couple of combs. We all sat down in the chairs, since we had some time, and began to make conversation. 

"So, Ginny, who are you going to the ball with?" I asked the redhead.

"Neville Longbottom," she replied shyly.

"I was wondering who he asked."

"What about you Hermione?"

"You'll just have to wait to find out. Did George ask you to the Ball or did he just assume you were going with him?"

"He asked me weeks ago."

The three of us continued our conversation until about four o'clock, which left us four hours to get ready. I went to my bathroom and grabbed my things, before making my way back out to my room. We began doing each other's make up I would do Ginny's then Hermione's, then mine. 

Ginny didn't need much, her skin was perfect, she just needed some lip-gloss, light eyeshadow, and a little blush. Hermione didn't need much either. I just did her eyes with some of my lighter pinks, and some lip-gloss. I didn't do a full face on myself either. I had waxed my brows the day before so they only needed to be brushed, on my eyes I did mostly browns except for the shimmer which was the same color as my dress, I put on some blush and lip-gloss, and I was done with my make up. 

It was now 5:30, and the three of us were doing our hair. Ginny did a twisted half-up half-down look. Hermione went for a complicated up-do with a little bit of her hair left down. I did a kind of messy yet elegant low bun thing. Hair had taken another hour and we still had an hour and a half left. We talked until the last thirty minutes, then we finally put on our dresses. Ginny's dress went down to her feet and was pink and green and had a green choker to go with it. She wore green flats with her dress as well. Hermione had pulled a beautiful dress of different pinks, with a lot of ruffles, she wore dark pink heels with her dress.

When I pulled my dress out of the garment bag both girls gasped in shock.

"It's beautiful," Hermione said.

"I know, look at the shoes." I pulled the shoes out of my wardrobe and showed the two of them. They were lavender with a strap that went around my ankle and the toe was made out of sheer material and had embroidered flowers all over. I put on my dress and Hermione helped me tie it in the back. Once my shoes were on, we all went downstairs to meet with our dates. Fred was there waiting on Angelina but George wasn't down there.

"Where's George?"

"He's still in his dorm, cleaning, for some reason."

"Thanks, Freddie." I turned around and went back up the stairs and knocked on the door to George's dorm.

"Just a second."

"Georgie, it's Noah." As soon as I said that he was at the door. He opened the door and audibly gasped at the sight of me.

"What is it? Too much make-up?"

"No, no, it's perfect, you're perfect." He put his arm around my waist and led me downstairs. He led me through the halls of the castle until we got to the Great Hall. We walked inside and everyone looked up and stared, we walked to the end of the line of people and as we walked I scanned the people that were staring at me until my eyes locked with hers. Abigail Griffin. She had a disgusted look on her face. She was wearing a plain blue puffy gown that had ruffles at the top. I ignored her and continued walking with my head held high.

The fanfare started and the doors opened revealing the champions and their dates. They walked through the doors and down the lines of people making their way to the dance floor. The music started and the champions started to dance with their dates. Eventually, everyone was on the dancefloor. 

Soon enough, the band started playing an upbeat song. George and I danced and jumped around until the song was over and we were out of breath. I sat down on one of the chairs while George went to get us drinks. Once he got back I chugged down my drink and I was ready to dance again. We danced almost all night, or at least until we were kicked out by the clean-up crew. 

We ran up to Gryffindor Tower and we went up to his dorm. He shut the door behind him and locked it, before casting the Muffliato charm at the door and walls of his dorm. He came up behind me and started kissing down my neck while holding onto my waist. He untied the back of my dress and I slipped it off my body and onto the floor. I turned around to face him as he began to take off his dress robes. I slipped under the covers of his bed and followed behind me. We kissed passionately and...
