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

Chapter 46

We sit eating dinner when I notice Ferin staring off in the direction of the Slytherin table.
I follow her gaze to see Blaise staring back at her.
"So Ferin." I say nudging her to get her attention. "I saw you at the Goldstein's New Years party, with a guy."
"Oh, you did?" She asks awkwardly, palling.
"Yeah, we both did, as well as Draco." Alex pipes, getting a strange look from Triss.
"Since when do you call him Draco?" Ferin asks, obviously trying to change the subject.
"Don't try and change the subject, we may not interrogate you here but we will after dinner." Triss says, thoroughly interested as to who Ferin's mystery guy is.
-----------------------------------------
After dinner, as promised, we dragged Ferin up to our dorm room and sat her down on her bed. Alex grabs a lamp and shines it in her face at my order.
"So miss. Grey, I hear you have a new boyfriend." Triss starts, sounding all dramatic. "Who is he?"
"I know!" I chirp as I step towards the two. "It's Blaise Zabini!"
"Alice!" She shrieks.
"Sorry, it just slipped out." I giggle mischievously.
Triss stares at her for a moment before asking her something that you could tell hurt him a bit to ask.
"When?"
"Yule ball." She states sadly.
"And you didn't bother to tell us?" He asks in an eerily calm voice.
"Hey, you didn't tell us about Danny!" She yells as Triss's eyes go wide and he pales.
"Who's Danny?" I ask, as I throw and arm around his shoulders.
"No one." He states rather quickly, biting his lip.
"And why don't I believe that." I say darkly.
"Because your not very trusting." He says with a shrug.
"That was going too far Triss." I cry, lunging at him, Alex grabbing me around the waist at the last minute, holding me back.
"Alright, alright, sorry!" He squeaked, holding his hands up in surrender.
Alex let's go, knowing after he apologized that I would be calm enough not to hit him.
"Now tell us who Danny is?!" I shriek, still not fully calm.
"My Ravenclaw boyfriend, happy now!" He screamed at me.
"Very." Alex and I smirk.
----------------------------------------
After getting a bit more information on Danny, I went down to the common room, knowing fully well that Triss was most likely staying the night in our room, and so my bed was taken.
As I crept closer to the fire I noticed I was alone and chose to sit in my favourite chair by the fire, pulling my knees up to my chest and wrapping my arms around them.
As I sit, watching the dancing flames I hear someone walking down the stairs and so I turn to see who and smile when I recognize the gorgeous milk chocolate eyes staring back at me.
"Hey." He breathed as he came over to me.
"Hey." I whispered back.
"You ready for your surprise?" He asks hopefully.
"Definitely."
-----------------------------------------
George kept his hands covering my eyes the entire walk, to what I assume is the ROR.
He lead me into the room and then told me to close my eyes uncovering them.
I heard him take a few steps infringement of me before nervously whispering,
"You can open you eyes now."
I cautiously opened my eyes and gasped as I saw the room.
The room was our usual choice, but there were rose petals scattered everywhere and what looked to be a picnic laid out on the carpet in front of the fireplace. Our song was playing quietly and I turned to him, still in his nervous state and smiled at him.
"George...." I breathed, truly touched at how much he thought this through.
He took my hand and lead me to the carpet, sitting me down and pouring me a glass of firewhisky.
"Are you trying to get me drunk?" I ask teasingly as he hands me the fairly full glass.
"Maybe..." He teased back sheepishly.
I noticed he had something behind his back and couldn't help the five year old side of my jumping with curiosity.
"What's that behind you back?" I ask.
"Actually, it's your Christmas present." He says, a red blush covering his cheeks as he hands me a small box wrapped with emerald green wrapping paper.
I slowly tear the paper and open the box to find a black gold ring with a small crystal.
"Obviously it isn't an engagement ring, but I thought you'd like it." He smiles at me uneasily.
"I love it." I whisper, grinning at him as I thrown my arms around his neck.
I slip the ring on my right ring finger and it begins to glow, I look up at George with confusion.
"The crystal will glow if your in love with the person who gave it to you." He smirks.
"Well then I guess I don't have to say, I've always been rubbish with words." I smirk back before crashing my lips into his.
"I love you too Alice." He mumbles against my lips before deepening the kiss.
