CHAPTER 14
George's POV:"I'm telling you she's a werewolf. Madam Pomfrey gave her a potion, and reminded her to meet Hagrid tonight at midnight."
"Hermione, if she was a werewolf wouldn't she transform as soon as the moon is up and not whenever she wanted? That's how it was with Lupin." (Harry)
"Maybe lycanthropy in the states is different than what we have here."
"We'll just have to wait and see. But don't you dare say anything to her about it. I want this date to be perfect and her in tears because you found her secret, if that's what her secret is, is not what I have in bloody mind."
"I won't say anything George."
I watch as Hermione goes back up to her room, and Harry and Ron disappear somewhere, while I keep pacing around the common room waiting for Kat to come down. According to Fred and then Hermione, she didn't look too good this morning and I'm worried that going out will only make tonight worse for her, whatever she has going on. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I freeze only to see Scar come down smiling. I frown a bit as she laughs at me.
"You might want to try to look more cheerful, she's coming down now."
I start to say something but then I hear her footsteps. I look up and see her dressed in a red and gold sweater with dark jeans and boots. She could easily pass as a beautiful muggle girl, with the exception that she has a cat on her shoulder asleep. I laugh a bit as she gently takes Moonlight off and places her on an empty chair a few feet away. She walks up to me and my open arms and I wrap her in a hug. Then I look at her, really look at her. She doesn't look as bad as I've seen her look but she's looked better. Still beautiful as ever.
"Bloody hell Kat, are you trying to get other guys to fall for you?"
"Of course not, just this one ginger haired twin I know."
"Me then?"
"No, Fred silly."
I pretend to pout some as she laughs, that is until I kiss her. I hear Fred and Lee in the corner telling us to leave already and quit snogging in public. I can't help but laugh, as we break the kiss and head out the common room and downstairs to head to Hogsmeade. The walk there was spent with us getting know each other a bit better. I learned about the trouble her family was facing at home with Zeldalia and she learned about the whole Weasley clan.
I had her laughing every chance I got with all the stories about my brothers and I getting into trouble with our mum growing up, even the recent ones. I love to hear her laugh and I know that I will always want to hear it. I didn't realize until we got to Hogsmeade that we had spent the whole walk down here holding hands. I smile as I lead her into Honeydukes. She picks up a chocolate frog and to my surprise a few blood pops. I pay for it all at the counter before she can stop me, before asking about the blood pops.
"Any reason you bought blood pops?"
"Oh, um harmless prank for my cousin back home."
"Well if you want we can throw in some puking pastilles."
"I would love to, but if he throws up on my aunt's carpet then we'll both be murdered."
We both laugh as we wander around. She comes with me to Zonko's while I explore and pick up on a few supplies Fred and I were needing. I finally take her hand and lead her over to the Three Broomsticks for lunch before we have to head back up to the castle. I was going to take her to the fancy little tea room, but Scar overheard my plans when I was talking to Fred and stopped me. Apparently Kat hates places like that, I was honestly relieved because so do I.
After we order, I start getting really nervous. I don't even know why, I mean bloody hell she already said she loved me. So why should asking her if she wants to be my girlfriend worry me? I mean she won't say no right? I can see her looking at me weirdly as I stare at butterbeer. I finally force myself to look up and find myself staring into her eyes. They aren't as bright as they always are but man are they still beautiful. I clear my throat a bit as I ask her to become my girlfriend.
K POV:"Katherine?"
I could tell his nervous by his heartbeat increasing, but I can't tell why. Plus he just called me Katherine. Usually it's just Kat. I stare into his eyes and I can definitely make out the worry and concern behind them. I reach over and take his hand into mine but he doesn't even seem to notice. Now he's beginning to make me nervous.
"Yeah George?"
"Wouldyoubemygirlfriend?"
"Want to try that one more time?"
"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"I....I don't know."
I see his face fall instantly and he mumbles 'oh' before taking a large gulp of butterbeer. I grab his hand tighter in mine and slide closer to him, forcing him to look at me again. I can see the hurt in his eyes as he looks at me. I need to explain, he deserves to know but what if he reacts like Scar did when she first found out.
"It's not you George, I swear. It's me.......I'm......I have......"
"Katherine, I know you have some type of secret. I even know that you see yourself as a monster, but I swear I could never see you as that."
"You overheard me and Scar that night?"
"I didn't, but Hermione and Ginny did. I don't care what you're secret is, I'll even wait to find out until you want to tell me. Just give us a try. I love you, and you love me what else do we really need?"
"Nothing, nothing at all. George, I would love to be your girlfriend."
George's POV:
As soon as those words come out of her mouth I feel my heart soar and I can't help but to start snogging her right there. She doesn't pull away, instead she pulls me closer to her as we start snogging. I hear a few wolf whistles after a few minutes. I know that Fred, Lee, and I'm sure the rest of the gang are in here now but I don't give a damn about that right. She said yes to being my girlfriend, me a Weasley with this beautiful girl across from me. I feel her pull away from me after a while and I see her blush as she looks toward everyone else that has walked up to our table and joined us now.
"So, you said yes?" (Scar)
"Yes, why wouldn't I?" (Kat)
"Because I'm the better looking twin." (Fred)
"No you're not." (George &Kat)
I watch her blush again and laugh as Fred starts laughing while trying to look hurt at the same time. I hold her hand under the table as we all chat and joke around a bit. I see Hermione watching her again and I glance at her and see how tired she looks now. I give her hand a gentle squeeze and she looks at me.
"Ready to go back?"
"If you are."
"Yeah sure. Fred, Lee meet in the Great Hall in a few for our plan?"
"Sure mate. Be up there in a bit."
We wave bye to everyone and start heading back up to the castle. She looks paler than she did earlier and her hands feel like ice. I pull her closer to me, but she leans her head away and keeps shaking her head a bit every once and while. We finally reach the castle and we walk into the Great Hall. We watch as some people walk in and enter the tournament, Cedric Diggory being one of them followed soon after by Krum.
After Krum enters, he looks up and sees Kat sitting next to me. He smiles a bit, but then his brow furrows as he looks at me. He walks over and Kat stands up to give him a brief hug but soon sits back down next to me, with Krum going to sit across from us. I feel jealousy rise in my chest again, but I push it away as I remember she said yes to being my girlfriend not his. Plus the hug didn't last nearly as long as it did last time. I notice that, like Hermione, he's watching Kat as well. Only difference is, I think he already knows her secret. Ah now that's the cue for more jealousy.
