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

Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35
K POV:

I feel myself groan when I wake up, stupid full moon on my birthday. I really must protest my luck right now. I feel myself get out of bed and get dressed. No one else is awake yet so that's good. I head down to the common room and just as I'm about to walk out the portrait door I smell George. I turn around and he's asleep on the chair. I giggle some as I see that his lips, like mine are still slightly orange in color. I walk up next to him and kiss him on the cheek, watching as he slowly opens his eyes after I do.

"Mornin Kitty. Happy Birthday. Ready to hunt?"

"You're coming with?"

"Course. Won't let you spend your birthday alone in the forest. Besides Scar and Fred wanted to handle the party set up themselves."

"Oh no. Maybe we can just stay in the forest tonight."

"Love it'll be fun don't worry."

I just shake my head a bit at him but can't help but smile some as I watch him yawn as he stands up. He really does love me if he's willing to spend his Saturday in the forest, while I hunt so I don't have to later tonight. In other words, so I can enjoy the party that I begged them not to throw haha. We walk down together and Hagrid meets us at the door, yawning a bit as he wishes me a happy birthday and walks us down to the forest. I kiss George on the cheek again before leaving him in the clearing as I hunt. Maybe the full moon tonight won't be so awful after all.

****************************************

I was dancing with Scar and Angelina on top of one of the tables in the Gryffindor room, singing along with some song by the Weird Sisters as I celebrated my birthday. I hadn't been looking forward to tonight because I would have to be vamped out on my birthday but everyone in our house thought it was cool by now. So I let it go and was just happy they thought it was cool. I catch George's eye from across the room and can't help but smile. I see Vik talking to Hermione, Donovan watching Scar, and Fred watching Angelina and my smile only grows. After the song ended I jumped down from the table and straight into George's arms.

I smile as I pull his face down towards mine and kiss him. I hear a few wolf whistles but everyone else seems too focused on Scar and Angelina dragging Alicia up to the table for another song. I pull away from him after a few seconds and see that grin he always has on his face after I kiss him. He reaches up and pushes a strand of hair behind my ear as I smile at him.

"Are you ready for your present from me?"

"George, I told you I didn't need any presents from you. You are my present."

"Well, I didn't listen. Now follow me."

I take his hand as he guides me upstairs to his room and shuts the door quietly behind us. He walks over to his bed, with me following behind. I sit down on the bed as he opens his trunk and pulls out two small envelopes. He smiles as he hands me the first one and I open it. In neat, though somewhat large letters, I see it's a letter but not from him. I look up at him confused but he just smiles as he shoves my shoulder gently with his own.

"Well, read it love."

I turn back to the letter and start reading, and what it says almost brings me to tears. It's a short letter, but it is so wonderful I almost can't believe it. This truly is an amazing birthday gift.

Dear George,
      I was happy to receive your letter the other day but I should tell you that I have no problem if you visit Katherine this summer in London. I know your mother is still warming up to the idea but after having been written by Katherine's father, I see no problem with you visiting. I was also told that you and Fred were given season passes for Bulgaria's season. I think it would be wonderful for both of you to go with Katherine and her Uncle Drew, who also contacted me the other day. Tell Katherine I wish her a happy birthday and that she is always welcome to contact me directly should she need anything.
            Sincerely,
                             Dad

"You can visit me this summer?"

"I can."

I drop the letter gently back down on the bed as I grab his face and kiss him. I feel him laugh a bit in the kiss as he slowly pulls away and brushes a lose strand of curly hair behind my ear. I know I'm smiling like a moron right now but I just can't help it right now. Even if I can't visit him, he can visit me. He reaches behind his back and pulls out the second envelope before handing it to me.

"I-well I know you don't really like flashy stuff. But Bill found this in Egypt and, well it isn't worth much and the Goblins didn't want it. So he was told he could keep it. I bought it from him. He made sure it wasn't cursed or anything. I uh.......well I hope you like it."

I smile as I take the envelope from his hand. He still gets nervous that I won't like whatever he's giving me. I could care less what it is, he gets to visit me this summer. That's the best present anyone could have given me. I open the envelope though and tilt it up, as a small gold chain with a pendant slides out. I look at the pendent and see that it's a gold Ankh, the symbol that looks like a cross with a handle, and I feel my smile grow.

He takes it out of my hand and I quickly turn around as he undoes the chain and puts it around my neck. I smile as I look down at it before turning back to face him. He's grinning but is still nervous underneath it. I smile at him and kiss him gently on the cheek before looking up into his eyes.

"George, it's beautiful."

"You mean that?"

"I solemnly swear it."

I watch as his smile grows some as he pulls me back into his chest for another kiss. I know that eventually we'll have to go back down to the party or Fred and Scar will come looking for us. Not to mention all the jokes that will be said, but honestly I'm just happy to be in his arms right now. This truly is one of the best birthdays I've ever had and one of the best school years I've ever had. I can't see this year going anywhere but up.
