Beloved- George Weasley

Chapter 67

"George!" Fred shouted, walking into there dorm room, a letter in his hands from the previous owner of Number 93 Diagon Alley. George looked up, rubbing his hair dry with a towel. Fred shoved the letter in his hand.

"Is this from Mr. Abdul?" George asked, dropping the towel on his bed. 

"Yeah, I didn't want to open it without you! Come on! Open it." Fred said, George ripped the left side of the letter, pulling the letter out of the envelope. 

"Dear Mr. Weasley's,

After looking at multiple offer's I have decided to take your offer, and hand over Number 93 Diagon Alley!" George read,

"We got it?" Fred asked, George nodded. Fred took the letter from George's hands, reading the last part out loud.

"And I am pleased to let you know it also comes with an apartment upstairs with two bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen, and one bathroom!" 

"We did it George, we can finally say hello to Weasleys Wizard Wheezes!" Fred clapped his hands together excitedly. 

"I know. We can finally tell Mum; I told you so." George smirked,

"Ah, I can't wait to see the look on her face." Fred said, before a thought came into George's head.

"Diana," 

"What about Diana?" Fred asked,

"I promised her we'd graduate Hogwarts together a couple years back." 

"Why would you do that?" Fred asked, jumping on his back. George ran a hand through his damp hair, and down his neck.

"You think we can wait until the end of the school year?" Fred shook his head, putting his hands behind his head.

"No way! By the time we finish setting up the shop that's goanna take a week at least if not longer, then stocking up on products that may take up to 2 weeks. So that's a month and a half gone. Moving in? By the time summer starts we need to have the store running and start attracting customers." Fred said,

"You're right. I don't think we have anything left to learn here anyway." George said, Fred nodded.

"Exactly Georgie!"

"What about Margaret, your girlfriend?" Fred scowled, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, we're over. She decided that she wants to move to America as soon as we graduate, and said it was better if we both part ways now and not get to emotionally attached." 

"That sucks, Fred, I'm sorry."

"It's whatever. We need to focus on our shop anyway, and you telling Diana." Fred said, sitting up, George nodded. He knew he was going to have to tell Madeline as soon as possible.

Diana could sense that something was off with George as soon as she saw him walk down from the boy's dorm rooms. She shut her book, looking at the page number before she shut it as George sat down next to her.

"Hello darling." George grinned, but it didn't quiet reach his eyes.

"George, are you alright?" 

"Why would I not be?" George asked, she shrugged, tilting her head to get a better look at him. 

"You just seem like something's bothering you," 

"It's not that something's bothering me, it's just..." George paused, shrugging. He ran a hand down his neck.

"Fred and I, well you see, we manage to buy a store-" A gasp escaped Diana's lips, as she stared at George.

"George that's amazing," Diana said, George smiled, sheepishly. Diana looked at him, shaking her head.

"But that's not all is it?" Diana asked.

"Fred and I have decided to leave Hogwarts." Diana blinked at him, not sure if she heard him correctly.

"What?"

"Fred and I are leaving Hogwarts." George repeated, Diana rang her tongue across her cheek, crossing her arms over her chest as she took the news in.

"You're dropping out you mean?" George nodded.

"I'm sorry, I know that you wanted us to finish Hogwarts together, but I think this is the best choice for me and Fred because the summer's starting and we want to catch up before it gets busy." George explained, Diana blinked trying to take in the news. 

She thought she would be angry, she thought that George breaking the promise he made her would make her want to jump up and tell him no stay a couple weeks longer, but really, she knew that this was the best choice for George. Maybe it was her mind maturing from when they made that promise, she didn't know, but Diana knew one thing that she was not angry.

"It's okay George, I'm happy for you." She said, grabbing his hand. 

"You are?" 

"Of course, I am! You didn't think I would be?" She asked, George shook his head, his grin from ear to ear.

"Thats what makes me mad, you arse." She smacked his shoulder teasingly. 

"I'm just saying Gryffindor's can be stubborn." 

"Oh wow, okay. I'm the stubborn one." 

"Yeah, you are but listen that's not all that I wanted to talk about. The store we bought, my store-" George still couldn't believe he was saying that.

"-has an apartment upstairs, and I was wondering if you wanted to move in with me once you finish Hogwarts." Diana's mouth fell open in surprise.

"I know you've been wanting to get a job, move out of your house, but I don't want you to worry about that anymore. I want you to move in with me...and Fred." George said,

"Live with you?" She asked, he nodded.

"Yes, come live with me. I want you to live with me." George said, Diana couldn't help but start giggling as she stared nodding.

"Yes! I would love to live with you!" Diana laughed, George smiled, leaning forward, cupping her face, and kissing Diana on the lips. He smiled against her lips, feeling like this day could not get any better.

"Wait...I have to live with Fred?" Diana asked, making George chuckle.

"Do you want to live with your family instead?" George asked, raising a quizzical eyebrow at her.

"That's...true. I guess living with Fred is better than living with my parents and Dudley." George shook his head.

"Why do you sound so disappointed?"

"Yeah! Why do you sound so disappointed?" Fred shouted from the stairs.

"No reason," Diana muttered, as Fred sat down on the couch.

"Enough lovey dovey. I've just been broken up with." George rolled his eyes, as they made more room on the couch for him, he was practically sitting on top of Georges back. 

"And I have to live with him,"

"Try living with him for the past 17 years." George muttered, 

"Hey!"
