Finding Happiness

Chapter 23

I ran my fingers through George's hair as our lips moved smoothly in sync. George licked my bottom lip, requesting entrance, I let him in and our tongues intertwined. I could taste the sweet caramel that still lingered in his mouth from the butterbeer earlier. We pulled away, smiling and gasping for air.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." George sighed, running a hand through his ruffled, red hair.

I quickly touched my lips to his again, but only for a brief moment, "Me too."

George smiled and gently grabbed my hand, "Come on, let's go back it's getting late."

I nodded and George extinguished the fire with his wand before leading me out of the cave and back down the mountain.

Along the way, we laughed and joked about the randomest things, at one point I picked up a handful of snow and shoved it down the back of George's shirt, resulting in him dancing crazily to get it out, he then chased me down the rest of the mountain.

By the time we reached Hogsmeade, George had caught up and wrapped his arms around my waist so I couldn't escape.

"I'm sorry!" I laughed trying to catch my breath.

George laughed and let go of my waist and held my hand.

"No payback?" I asked.

I could see George smirking, "Not yet."

I bit my lip, knowing he was planning some kind of prank that I wouldn't suspect, "Do you want to go get another butterbeer?" George asked as we neared the Three Broomsticks.

"That would be great, I'm freezing." I shivered and George wrapped and arm around me, pulling me closer. "I'm paying though." I added as he opened the door for me.

"Nonsense, you're my girlfriend."

I smiled, it sounded so nice to hear that. George took my hand again, as if he couldn't bare to be parted, and we walked to the counter.

"Maia! George!" A voice called across the pub. Hermione was standing up in the corner, a large grin formed on her face as she saw George's hand around mine. She beckoned for us to join her, Harry and Ron. George handed me my butterbeer and he took his, we walked over to the trio.

"I'm so glad she said yes!" Hermione exclaimed to George as we sat down.

I blushed, "Wait, you knew?"

She nodded, "George had this whole thing planned out, that's why I insisted for you to come into the Three Broomsticks."

"Blimey Hermione, you kept that a secret!" I replied, sipping my butterbeer.

She grinned.

George still had his hand linked with mine under the table, he softly brushed his thumb back and forth over my palm.

"How are you George?" Harry asked, breaking the silence that was beginning to become awkward.

"I'm good Harry, and you?"

"I'm good."

"They're snogging again, come on let's leave." Ron complained. I turned to see who he was looking at and saw Ginny and Dean sitting very closely in the corner.

"Don't be silly Ron!" Hermione fussed.

"They've been snogging since we got here." Ron growled.

"I need to get my potions homework done." Harry stood up and Ron jumped up too, eager to leave.

Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes, "Whatever. See you later guys." She waved goodbye to George and I and the trio left the pub.

"I don't want to leave just yet." George whispered.

I smiled and leaned into him, "We don't have to." I drained my butterbeer glass and rested my head on his shoulder, "When does Fred need you back in the shop?"

"I have until 2 o'clock." George replied finishing his drink and lifting my chin to kiss me. His lips were soft and full of love unlike Anthony's whose were rough and full of lust.

~~~

"Is she alright?" I gasped.

Ginny shook her head, "Madam Pompfrey sent her to St Mungos, they doubt she'll be back before Christmas."

I leant back in my chair, shocked at the news, "How?"

"Leanne said it was when Katie touched the necklace."

"That's crazy."

"Mmm."

"Ginny?"

"Yeah?"

"When are you going to dump Dean, honestly you two are fighting so much now."

I heard her sheets ruffle as she shrugged, "I don't know. But I'm sick of it."

"He should treat you better." I yawned.

Gentle snores answered. I sighed and buried myself further into my blankets. So much had happened in the past 24 hours. It felt like a weeks worth of events rather than a day. I closed my eyes and slowely drifted off to sleep.

So I have all these ideas for this fanfic, but it's taking forever for me to write the scenarios in between. This was just a filler chapter. I am trying not to timeskip too much to get to the big things...but it's sooooo hard :/ ahaha

I hoped you liked this small chapter. I will update soon.
