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

Chapter 26

Cedric, Fleur, and Viktor all finished their challenge to retrieve the egg quickly and next it was Harry's turn to emerge from the tent.
As we were waiting I decided to turn to ask Alex about the dragons.
"Which dragon was that just now?"
"Chinese Fireball." She answers, tearing her eyes away from the arena.
"And the one before?" I ask.
"Common Green Welsh." Triss states rather flatly.
"Then which one was Cedric's?" Ferin asks sounding confused.
"Norwegian Ridgeback." Alex answers then looks back down at the arena her eyes widening in shock and worry.
"What's that one?" I ask, although I'm already fairly sure of the answer.
"Hungarian Horntail." She answers solemnly, briefly looking at me.
"Oh shit!" Triss shouts looking up from his conversation on the other side of Alex.
"What's up with you three?" George asks leaning over my shoulder.
"Harry has to face the Hungarian Horntail, aren't you the least bit concerned?" I ask turning to him exasperatedly. "Do you know what that dragon is known as?"
"Of course we know. You see that guy with orange hair tied back, that's our brother." Fred says leaning over Alex's shoulder.
"Why would your brother bring such a dangerous dragon here?!" Triss shouts.
"How are we supposed know, it's not like Charlie checks with us first!" They exclaim in unison. Before I could say anything else Harry stepped out of the tent and the whistle blows, starting the challenge.
-------------------------------------
After the challenge is over Alex and I rush off towards Griffindor tower to avoid the crowd.
We walk into the common room to see Lee Jordan setting up desserts for what looks like a party.
"In gonna go up to the room." I tell Alex motioning towards the stairs. "See ya in a bit Alex." I walk up the stairs to our room and pull out a book from Alex's library, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I flip through the 45 page book and am almost finished when Alex comes rushing into the room and face planting on to the bed.
-------------------------------------
The party was in full swing right about now.
Cheers could be heard from downstairs in the common room while Alex and I were up in the dorm.
I watched as Alex coaxed the kneazle looking over the edge of 'my' book.
"Come here kneazle." She called and held out her hand as the kneazle jumped up on her bed. "That's a good girl."
"Wow you really changed her attitude towards you." I said looking up from my book.
"Yeah but could you come over here for a second I need her to get used to other people too." She says looking over at me.
"Okay." I put down her book and lazily walked over to her bed.
"Okay now try and show her your hands." She showed me by spreading out her hands.
I do the same and the kneazle looked over at me.
"Now try holding out one hand for her to sniff."
The kneazle walked over to my hand and sniffed it without biting.
"Yay we have progress." She cheers.
"I never thought I'd get this close to her." I say lowering my hand.
"So, wait I have a question. Where did you get that book you're reading?" She asks pointing to my bed.
"Oh I borrowed it from you without asking." I answer a little hesitantly.
"Wow thanks dude."
"Wonder how Harry is enjoying his party." I say, trying to change the subject
"I'm so glad I'm not down there right now, it's too loud."
"Same I can't han-" I was cut off with a hideously loud screeching shriek.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" She tries shouting over the noise while clutching her hands to her ears. Then the sound stopped.
"What was that?" I ask slowly lowering my hands from my ears.
"Whatever it was I never want to hear it again." She says looking at the kneazle as it cowers in fear.
I went back to 'my' book and Alex started grooming Tails after the fiasco ended.

George POV
When the screeching stopped everyone went back to talking and eating and Fred and I went down to the kitchens.
When we got back and restocked the food Fred and I looked around but didn't see Alex or Alice anywhere.
"I was hoping she would have come back down by now." Fred says, sounding a little disappointed.
"Did Alex say she was doing anything important or that she was leaving the common room?" I ask.
"She just said she was going to her dorm to play with Tails and the kneazle."
"Oh okay."
Fred and I spent the next 20 minutes or so talking, eating and trying to sell some canary creams.
"George, do you wanna go up and get them?"
"Sure." I say and we climbed the stairs to their dorm.

Alice POV
I was rereading Alex's book when I hear a know at the door, I sit up and look at Alex who seemed to hear it too.
"Who could that be?" I ask as she walks over to the door.
"I don't know." She says as she opens the door.
"Hello ladies." Fred and George say in unison.
"Hey guys." She says.
"So Alex why didn't you come back down?" Fred asks leaning on the door frame.
"I never said I would go back down."
"Where's Alice?" George asked peering over her shoulder.
"Lying on her bed." She answers pointing to my bed, where I mumble 'reading'.
"Alright." Fred says then he stood up and put his left hand behind Alex's legs and his other arm behind her back and lifted her up bridal style. "George go get Alice."
"Roger!" George saluted Fred and then ran over to my bed and scoped me up bridal style as well, then rushed out of the room, with me squirming ever so slightly.
"Bye Fred." George calls Fred as he walks down the stairs with me in his arms.
"George, put me down..." I mumble, finally giving up, knowing how strong he is, being a beater and all.
"Nope." He tells me, laughing slightly at how helpless I am in this situation.
"Fine." I mumble and rest me head in his shoulder and close my eyes, might as well be comfy.
The next thing I know I'm being dropped lightly into a bed.
I open my eyes as I hit the comfy surface and realize I'm in the twin's room.
I instantly sit up and freeze.
Why am I in his room and on his bed?!
"George, why am I in your room?" I ask cautiously.
"First place I thought of." He says as he sits down on the corner of the bed.
"Oh, okay."
He leans in slightly and brushes a piece of hair out of my face, and just by the slightest contact of his fingers on my cheek my face turned crimson red.
His face only inches away, I would be crazy if I said I wasn't interested in what it would be like to kiss him.
So I decided to find out, I crushed his lips with mine in an instant, and I can't say I regret it.
It was magical, fireworks went off in red and gold behind my eyelids. It took him less than a second to respond and he began to kiss me back, it felt like an eternity before we broke away but as soon as it was over it felt too short.
A grin spread across my face and a smirk across his.
"That was bloody brilliant."
