year 3
Georges pov.
it was late and i couldn't sleep.
i got out of bed quietly, Fred softly breathing in his bed as i opened the bedroom door and shut it behind me quietly.
i walked down the stairs to Ginny's bedroom.
i knocked softly but no one had answered.
i pulled out my wand and lit it.
"Lumos" i whispered as i cracked open the door and peaked through.
Ginny was asleep in her bed, Sage and Hallie both sleeping on the floor.
i tip-toed in and leaned down, i gently tapped on Hallies shoulder and she moved around but said nothing.
i pulled on her shoulder then she rolled over and looked up at me.
"bloody hell" she said quietly, rubbing her eyes.
i pulled my wand further away from her squinted eyes.
"do you want to do something?" i smiled. she looked at me then yawned and stretched.
"what?" she said quietly. i looked to check if the girls were still sleeping and reached for Hallies hand.
i pulled her out of bed and she stumbled sleepily as i lead her out the room shushing her.
i closed the bedroom door and we both walked down the stairs.
we entered the kitchen then walked to the sitting room.
Hallie sat on the sofa opposite of the telly as i walked over and turned it on. i looked around for a film.
i put up a horror film into the air for her to see.
she squinted her eyes.
"no" she said harshly.
"oh come on-" i began.
"absolutely not" she hissed at me.
"Hallie-"
"i hate horror films" she bit.
"but i'll be next to you" i smiled. she stared at my face then sighed. i took that as a yes and quickly took the film out of its packaging.
after clicking play i went over and sat on the sofa next to a bawled up Hallie, she wrapped her arms around her knees and rocked back and forth on the edge of her seat.
"we just started the movie" i looked at her. she looked back at me with narrow eyes and i quickly looked back at the tv.
the volume was lowered as eerie music played in the background.
there were a few jumpscares where Hallie had sunken into the sofa in fear, covering her face with a cushion as i laughed at her and she kicked me with her legs.
once we had gotten half way into the movie Hallie was sat up staring interestingly at the tv until there was a big jump scare and she had flew back into me. i wrapped my arms around her as she dug her head into my shoulder and starting whispering at me harshly how much she hated me in the moment.
i laughed as my arms were wrapped around her warm self.
she pulled away slowly from my shoulder and she looked into my eyes. her lips parted slightly as she stared at me, tears in her eyes.
i looked into her eyes and she quickly looked away and sat next to me, my arm still wrapped around her.
she snuggled close to me, her head now resting on my shoulder.
my face felt very hot as i felt her grabbing onto my t-shirt at each scary moment.
i smiled down at her, her cheeks were faintly pink. i denied the fact she was blushing.
the film had ended, the screen going black. Hallie and I sat there in silence for a moment, besides her heavy breathing.
i had gotten up and turned off the tv to put the film back into its packaging and then turned to see Hallie who looked traumatized.
"are you alright?" i laughed.
"how am i supposed to sleep after that" she said, holding herself tightly.
"want some hot chocolate then?" i asked. she nodded and got up eagerly as the both of us walked to the kitchen.
i made the both of us cups of hot chocolate as we sat next to each other at the table and ate, my wand propped up still lighting up so we could see.
we chatted about different things that weren't about the film. mainly to distract each other from the film.
i had never stared at her for this long. her eyes were so beautiful and blue, light freckles sprinkled her face, her cheeks always seemed to be a natural faint pink, her lips... well... they're lips.
her hair framed her face wonderfully.
i felt as if i wanted to brush her hair behind her ear. it looked so fluffy, so soft.
"George?" said Hallie, bringing me out of my weirdly dazed state. i looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.
"what'd you say" i said, looking into my now empty cup of hot chocolate. i felt my face getting really hot.
"are you finished? it's a quarter past 2am" she laughed.
"oh yeah- i am" i said, quickly getting up as i grabbed my cup and hers.
i took them both to the kitchen and cleaned them so Mum wouldn't notice the dirty dishes.
the both of us walked up the stairs in an awkward silence. probably because i couldn't stop thinking of her eyes, her freckles and her lips... i've never looked at her lips.
"well..." she said standing outside Ginny's bedroom door.
"goodnight" i smiled.
"night" she said as she gently opened Ginny's door and closed it on me.
i stood there for a moment then went upstairs to the toilet.
i stood in the restroom, staring into the mirror, then i splashed some water on my face because my cheeks were so hot and i felt a bit dizzy.
after washing my face i went back up to my bedroom and once i opened the door Fred was leaned against our dresser staring at me with the light on.
i jumped a little at the sight then closed the door gently behind myself.
"how was the film" Fred said, he had a casual smirk on his face and i put out my wand light.
"what" i said.
"the film?"
i had taken off my shirt and got into bed.
Fred still continued to look at me.
"it was... good" i said. he raised an eyebrow.
"okay... we sat there, and she jumped into my arms, and i held her for the rest of the movie.. and then we had hot chocolate, and i stared at her.." i thought about mentioning her lips but that was to weird.
"her hair is so nice.. her eyes are beautiful... like ice-" i looked to Fred who was smirking some more.
"what??" i said harshly. he sighed, walked over and sat down on his bed.
"mate you fancy her" he said.
"what" i said loudly. he hushed me.
"you erm.. fancy her?" he raised his eyebrows. i looked at him as if he was insane.
"you're bloody insane" i rolled over in bed.
"put the light out" i mumbled. he stayed seated then i heard his footsteps and the light went out, i heard him rustling in his bed and then he had gone quiet.
i laid there, staring at the wall.
fancy.. her? no way i could. she was such a lovely friend, why would i fancy her...
my eyelids grew very heavy and i couldn't help but fall asleep.
