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

Chapter 20

CHAPTER 20
K POV:

"Kat....oh Katherine.....wakey wakey. It's Christmas."

"Scar, it's too early. You forget I went hunting for a few hours last night. Go away."

"What does she mean by hunting?" (Ginny)

"Oh, just talking out of sleep haha. Kat wake up!"

She didn't have to yell though because as soon as I heard Ginny ask what I meant by hunting I was wide awake. I sit up and see Scar smiling at me a bit but then I see the 'really?' look on her face. Whoops.

"Come on, I don't know how but the Twins had all our presents sent to their room. They can't come up here so we have to go to them."

I laugh a bit as we head to the twins rooms, with a Merry Christmas and a thanks being shouted to both us from Hermione and Ginny on our way out the door. I walk in and am immediately met with George's lips. I smile through the kiss, short but sweet. He then takes my hand as he leads me to my pile next to his and I smile as I realize that he moved it closer to his pile than it probably started out as.

"Well, ladies first." (G&F)

Scar and I giggle a bit as we start tearing into the wrapping paper and opening all our gifts. I got some honeyduke's from the trio and Ginny. A sneakoscope from Neville, and a subscription to the Quibbler from Luna. Fred got me some Zonko's stuff, but also a cute little bed for Moonlight who jumps off my shoulder and curls up to sleep on the bed as soon as all the paper is off. I laugh a bit as I kiss her head and push her over some so we won't end up stepping on her.

Parents sent me some stuff that went to my room thank goodness, as well as some money. Always good to have on hand I guess. Scar's present for me was split up as well, with half going straight to my room and the other being a new pair of leather fingerless gloves and an advanced book on magical creature care. Good thing about the gloves, because my old hunting ones were beginning to get holes in them.

I hear Scar squeal as she opens her gift from me and then she tackles me on the floor. I laugh as I shove her off and she immediately puts the boots on smiling. The twins look at her and then each other before shrugging. If they're trying to figure out why she's so happy about shoes, more power to them. I don't even know.

I turn to a neatly wrapped box next to my parents and see George turning red. I open it and find a red home-knitted sweater with a gold lioness on the front. As well as what looks like an assortment of pies. I turn to George and he blushes even deeper before looking at me.

"Mum made it for you. I may have told her we're dating. Hope that's ok."

"Of course it is! I'll have to send a thank you letter. This is one of the best presents I've ever gotten."

I watch as his ears turn bright red again as he just shrugs some. The last present I have to open is a small box that I can only guess is from George. I slowly unwrap it and then open the box, but it's empty. I turn towards him and see him holding a small ring. I feel my breath catch in my throat as I try to figure out what kind of ring he wants this to be, as well as realizing that he still doesn't know what I am. Would he still want to give me a ring if he knew what I was?

"Katherine, I debated giving you this but I can't help but want people to know you're mine. So it's just a promise ring, if you'll have it."

He gently takes my right hand and slides the ring on my ring finger before letting go. I look at the ring and see that's a small band with the head of a lion on it. On the band I can see the word's George's girl inscribed on it. I look back at him and see that he's swallowing nervously, but I don't know why.

"It's perfect, of course I'll have it. I've always been your girl George."

A smile starts to form on his lips but I don't let it grow any bigger before I throw myself at him and his lips. My worries about him not knowing are forgotten at least for a while as I lose myself in the kiss. I could stay like this with him forever, until I feel an empty box hit me on the back. I pull away from George and see both Fred and Scar staring at the ceiling as if it's the best thing they ever seen. We both laugh a bit as I settle in next to him and we watch as the twins start on their gifts.

They both got identical sweaters from their mom, one with a G and one with an F. Tons of Zonko's stuff from Scar, Lee, and myself which they were excited about. Some Honeysduke's from the trio, and a few other little things from home. George looks at me and smiles like a little kid when he gets to the huge box. I stop him before he opens it and look at Fred.

"You two can share if he wants Fred, but the reason you didn't get one well I'm pulling the 'he's my boyfriend card.' I'm sorry."

"Kat don't worry about it. Just let him open it already."

I smile at Fred and let go of George's hands as he takes the top of the box off and pulls out the cage with the owl in it. The owl hoots at me a bit, probably angry that he's been in the box all night, and then looks back at George. George just stares at it and then looks at me and back at the owl and then back to Fred, and then back to me.

"An owl?"

"Yeah, I figured y'all could use him for the beginning of mail orders you might have. Do you not like him?"

"No, he's perfect. It's just we've never had an owl of our own before, we've always had to share with the family."

"Good to know he's half mine then George."

We all laugh a bit as they let the owl out and he flies around the room a bit. They name him Mischief, which is actually perfect for them and probably their owl. Scar and I gather up our presents as we head back into our room, Hermione and Ginny are already gone down to breakfast so we sort our presents and get dressed before heading down.

George is waiting in the common room and takes my hand as we start to walk down to breakfast. Donovan meets her at the door and takes her hand before leading her outside. I hear her giggle at something he says and can't help but smile at her. I see Vik head our way and I squeeze George's hand before letting go and hugging Vik.

"Merry Christmas Vik. Did you like your gift?"

"You know I did. It vas vell thought out. She gave me a vook vull of pictures over the years. My virst vamily album. Now I have something for you."

"Vik, you didn't need to."

"No, I need too. It is vor voth of you and your vrother Ge-orge."

I take the small package from him and hug him again before we part ways at the doors of the Great Hall. We sit with the rest of our friends at the table before I turn to George and hand him the package. He looks at me in surprise as he holds it.

"Well open it. It's for all three of us, but something tells me you two may like it more."

George's POV:

I take the lid off the package that Kat handed me and pull out three hard red and black rectangles from the box. I hold one up as I read it, trying to figure out what it is before I start reading it.

Season Family Ticket for Bulgaria Quiddtich Team
Family of Viktor Krum: Position-Seeker
Top Box-Home Games
Second Level-Visitor Games

I turn back to Kat with what I can only assume is a shocked look on my face as I read it again to make sure I'm not just dreaming. These are real season tickets for the Bulgaria games. That's over 30 games of Quidditch that we can go to. I pass one to Fred to read and I see him go into a state of shock as he reads it multiple times. We both turn towards Kat and see just how amusing she thinks this is.

"I knew you would like it. He's happy about it too. He's never had anyone to give his family passes to until now. Will your parents let you go with me and my uncle to some of the games?"

We don't say anything we just nod as quickly as we can. I see her laugh at us again as she kisses Fred's cheek and then my lips before going back to her breakfast and joking with Ginny about something. I look back at Fred and he's reading the ticket again. Maybe Krum isn't as bad as I thought he was.
