Double The Fun {George's Side} [book 1]

Chapter 12

I hear my dad and mom yelling at each other again, probably about moving.
So I sit up and wish I could use a silencing spell on my bedroom door, then roll over and lay on my stomach across my bed, reading my advanced potions book.
A few minutes later I hear something break downstairs and flinch slightly.
I hear someone stomping up the stairs, and my bedroom door suddenly flies open revealing my mother standing in the doorway, glaring at me.
"Are you studying for you're classes next year?" She asks harshly.
I sit up straight, facing her, immediately.
"Of course mother." I say quietly.
"Good." She says and leaves the room.
I lay down and try to sleep, but it won't come......
I was about to charm myself to sleep when I remember that I can't use magic outside of my laid. The next thing I know I can hear my parents screaming at each other about what a freak I am for being a witch.
I begin to cry....
***************************
All of a sudden I feel something hit my head.
"Oww!" I whimper as my hand immediately goes to my forehead. I open my eyes and immediately see Alex standing over me.
I sit up and notice I'm in the common room.
"What am I doing here?" I ask groggily.
"I was just about to ask you that." She says, sounding a bit concerned. "I woke up this morning and you weren't in bed and I know you never wake up early."
"You know me too well." I say with a smile. " I don't remember coming back to the common room though."
"Back to the common room?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Well..." I say standing up. "I kinda went out with George..."
"Where?" She asks.
"Some room." I answer vaguely. "We made a potion."
"So you go to a room, alone with a guy, in the middle of the night." She says. "And the result is a potion?" She then winks at me.
I could feel the blush begin to creep up to my cheeks so I turn away.
"I'm gonna go get ready for breakfast." I say as I walk towards the stairs. "Wait for me?"
"Sure." She calls after me. "I wanna here more about your midnight adventure with George."
"It was 1am!" shout back. "Not midnight!"
"Same difference!" She shouts back.
---------------------
We go down to the great hall for breakfast and sit down at the far end of the table.
We sat down and began to eat when Alex eventually asks about last night.
"So what happened with you and George last night?"
"I woke up at 1 and couldn't go back to sleep without a sleeping drought so I went downstairs and saw him sleeping so I sat down beside him and watched the fire-" I start.
"You watched him sleep, didn't you?" She asks, interrupting me.
"Let me finish!" I say warningly. "So as I was saying, I sat there and he woke up, asked why I was up and I told him I needed a sleeping drought. He said for his first tutoring session we could make that, so he brought me to this secret room, we made the potion, and I think I fell asleep in there."
"Meaning he was such a gentleman that he carried you up to the common room and laid you on the couch." She says. "How sweet."
"I guess it was pretty sweet of him." I say, leaning my head on the back of my hands. "I should thank him the next time I see him."
"You should." She almost orders me, then stands up with her book bag. "I gotta go now, that stupid tower is killer to walk up twice a day."
"Good luck staying awake." I call after her.
"Thanks, I'll need it." She huffs, waving at me and goes off to class. I quickly finish my breakfast and then do the same.
I can't wait to see George!
