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

Chapter 28

Lessons were shortened and only lasted until lunch for the 4th-7th years, after which we all met in the great hall with professor McGonagall.
She had the girls sit against one wall and the boys sit against the other.
"What do you think she wants?" I ask, nudging Alex.
"I don't know but I lost time in the library and DADA today because of it." She scowled slightly.
Professor McGonagall stood in the centre of the floor.
"Attention, attention." She spoke silencing the students. "A tradition of the Tri-Wizard Tournament is the Yule Ball. As representatives of the host school you are expected to know how to dance." She took a pause and people around the hall started looking around. "Now we will not have the good name of Hogwarts besmirched by having you lot behaving like a babbling bumbling band of baboons."
I looked over to the corner and saw George whisper 'say that five times fast' to Fred and they both started mouthing 'babbling bumbling band of baboons'.
I silently giggle at the sight then returned my attention to professor McGonagall.
"However the Yule Ball is first and foremost, a dance."
Girls all around started talking excitedly while the guys groaned and sunk in their seats.
"Mr. Weasley." McGonagall said and Ron walked up beside her. "Why don't we have you help demonstrate. Now put your hand on my waist."
"Your where?" Ron had a look of confused horror all over his face.
"My waist." She repeated and grabbed his wrist and placing it on her waist. "One two three." She counted and the music played and they started dancing the waltz.
When the music stopped Ron jumped away immediately.
"Now ladies and gentlemen pick a partner and begin dancing."
All the girls jumped to their feet while the guys sank further into their seats and shielding their eyes.
Neville jumped from his seat and asked one girl to dance.
Then another boy and another. Soon the entire hall was dancing and I was asked to dance by Dean.
The first song ended and we switched partners, and I walked over to a reluctant Draco and we began to dance, after only a few steps I heard someone.
"Mind if I steal him for a song?" turning my head I saw Hermione smiling nervously.
"Of course you may." I say and give Draco a 'good luck' look then walked away looking for a new partner.
I scanned the boys side a bit looking for someone I knew and my eyes laid on the one person I had been avoiding, and ironically enough, he was already looking at me.
I quickly turned around but someone grabbed my arm and spun me into their chest.
"Care to dance?" I hear his velvety sweet voice whisper in my ear.
"Sure." I say, turning and looking him in the eye.
He placed his hand on my waist and we begin dancing, not braking eye contact.
When the song stopped we continued to dance as the next begun I recognized it immediately.
"Why is this playing?" I look over to the music player then back at George who has a small smirk on his face.
I smile back.
"A little birdie told me it was your birthday today." He said, his smirk growing.
"It is." I say, growing a smirk of my own.
"Happy birthday."
