The Unknown Potter [COMPLETE]

Chapter Sixteen

          I had no idea where I was going to go. I was pissed at Harry for the overprotective brother routine. He's known George longer than I've known him. He knew what a great guy George was. Well, maybe not in the same sense that I did, but Harry knew that George was nice to almost everyone. He was funny, and very charming. I loved him.

        I ended up in the library. My go-to get away place. I pulled out a really old book, one about goblins. Goblins aren't very interesting, by the way.

        Goblins are boring enough that it gave me time to think. I thought about what Harry said to me. That just because he was my older brother, he needed to know these things. Ha! My life, my business. I will tell him things he needs to know when I am ready. Not when he wants me to. When I am ready.

          I stayed in the library all day, reading random books and doing homework. I only left when Madame Pince started screaming at me to leave when the library closed. I sulked around the castle, curfew not being for another hour. I ended up outside of the Kitchens. I smiled, tickling the pear in the painting. The painting let out a squeal and swung open.

          I walked into the kitchen, and the elves didn't make the usual fuss. They were crowded around someone else. I couldn't tell who it was, because the elves were stacked on top of another like a soup can display.

          Once the elves noticed I was there, they all dispersed to find food for me. The kid they were surrounding had a pile of food. It was so big it hid their face. All of my favorites were in the pile. On the top of the pile, I could see a patch of red something.

          That's when it hit me. It was George. The red thing was hair, and all of the foods were probably for some date he was planning.

           "Where did all of you go?" George asked. "I am still missing my Cauldron Cakes!" He looked out from his pile to see me standing there.

           "Uhh, Gwen, hey," George said, sounding really nervous. "What are you doing here?"

            "The same thing you are," I said, luring him into a trap.

            "So, you are setting up a date for me?" he asked. Exactly what I wanted to hear.

            "Oh, sorry, no I am not. But now I know what you are doing here!" I smiled as George swore.

            "Well, that ruined your surprise, now didn't it?" George growled.

            "Yeah, I'm sorry George," I said. George just smiled and started laughing. I couldn't help but smile. George always found a way to make me smile.

            "Well, I'd better go," George said. "I have to plan a new surprise now!" George smiled and I giggled like a five year old girl.

          I grabbed some food from the elves, and left the kitchens. I walked back to the dorms, stashing my food under my bed. I left really quickly, mostly running from the others.

          I ran down to the library, to see if I could sneak in. On my way, I passed the Great Hall, where everyone was crowded around the bulletin board.

          I shoved my way through the crowd, until I got to the front. My eyes opened wide with horror.
