I solemnly swear (George Weasley- Love Story Book 1)

Chapter 17

CHAPTER 17
K POV:

"Is he always this stupid?"

"Usually yeah. He'll come aroun eventually."

"You've been saying that for a few weeks now Georgie."

"Kitty, trust me. Nothing will keep those three separate for long."

"Kitty?"

"Uh, well I thought it was a cute nickname for you."

"Aww thanks Georgie, though Vik calls me that when he's poking fun at me haha. And I hope you're right, cause Harry needs his friends more than ever after what that dreadful woman said about him."

It's been three weeks since Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Since then, most of Hogwarts has taken a dislike to him and has these stupid buttons that read Cedric Diggory and then change to green with Potter Stinks. It's foolish and childish, especially since Harry could die in the tournament. Though Ron's adamancy at avoiding and ignoring Harry is even more childish.

It doesn't help at all that some woman, Rita Skeeter, wrote a trashy piece of an article about how 'poor Harry still cries himself to sleep over the death of his parents.' Now if this was true I would not judge him badly because of it, it would be understandable honestly. But it's nothing but lies and garbage. The woman is absolutely ridiculous. I've been trying to hang out with Harry when Hermione doesn't have time. But between classes, homework, and the past new and the two half-moons I've had to deal with, it's amazing I have time to hang out with George.

Tomorrow is the first task and from what I can tell Harry is nervous. Hermione has been helping him prepare for it. I get the idea that he knows what it is. Vik knows for sure, he just won't tell me what it is. He's too competitive for that. Tomorrow is also the second full moon of the school year for me. If every full moon falls on the day of an event or a holiday this year I'm not going to very happy.

I already feel like crap but I know that I look like it because of George. He hasn't said anything, but I can tell by the way he keeps looking at me and offering to carry my books or even me. I keep telling him no, but he's persistent about books sometimes. Honestly it's just easier to let him carry them, than argue. I had written home to see if mom could ask the doc why I'm needing more blood that usual.

The answer I got back today said it was either a climate change or the fact that I'm almost an adult half-vamp, and they require more blood than adolescents. I would have preferred the climate change to be the cause, not the adults need more because that would mean that this increased blood lust is permanent. It's like telling someone that's sick that they're getting worse, not better.

I head up to bed early tonight, after kissing George goodnight. I'm picking up blood from Madam Pomfrey tomorrow morning, before classes start, so Scar went to bed early too so she would be awake to help me. If she's not there this time, I swear I'll hex her. I know that if I want to make this easier and not feel like death walking on full moons I just have to vamp out every once and while. Only problem with that is, there isn't really anywhere for privacy for that at Hogwarts. Maybe I can ask McGonagall about it later I suppose.

GEORGE'S POV:

"Good luck Harry!" (G&F)

"Thanks."

"He didn't look good did he?" (F)

"Well would you Fred if you were about to face a dragon?"

"He doesn't know does he?"

"Bet he does, all of them do I bet."

"Plans tonight?"

"You mean if he survives? Party of course. We nick food from the kitchens before we head back up."
