Age of Mischief ~ George Weasley [Harry Potter] Fanfic

Hallowe'en

                  ****George's point of view***

I feel really bad. Fred is hardly talking to me and Bethany isn't talking to me at all. I feel really really really bad. It's been eating away at me for the last fortnight.

Today is Hallowe'en. The feast. The hogsmeade trip. The whole thing.

Angelina comes up to me and says 'Shall we go to hogsmeade?' I had to go. I couldn't not go with Angelina. She thinks everything's OK, and that Bethany is the one in the wrong here. But she has definitely got the wrong end of the stick.

'Yeah sure. Meet me in the Three Broomsticks at 2, OK? I need to check something...' I ran back up to the school and saw Bethany and Fred walking down to Hogsmeade. 'Guys! Hey! Guys!' They looked over at me and Bethany turned, but Fred touched her arm and said something. She stayed but didn't fully turn around to look at me.

'I am really sorry for my behavior and it would be amazing if you forgave me...'

No answer.

'So do you forgive me?' I glanced at Fred. He shrugged but gave me a smile, saying that he had. I looked back at Bethany, she turned to face me, but then started walking down the hill. Her arm went up to her face and Fred sighed.

'She is really upset George. What were you thinking?'

' I don't know.'

That night Angelina gave me a drink.

' George, there's a really nice place I want to show you.' Angelina smiled a radiant smile. 'I will go any where with you. Anywhere.' We walk down a corridor, she opens a door. We walk in to the room. She turns to me and kisses me, more and more. And then the door opens.

Bethany and Fred come in. I can't believe what I saw. Fred and Bethany.

'Mate... That is harsh.'

Bethany just looked at me with big watery eyes. And that's when I snapped out of this dreamy, unreal state I was in. 'George..? But... so... I...' She stammered.

Then she turned and walked out the door. Fred followed her, but he looked back and mouthed "See you.". He ran after Bethany. I turned back to Angelina and all she said was 'What a rude interruption.' before she kissed me again.

That drink was spiked with a love potion.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Fred stays with me until we get into the village. I explain to him what happened. After he just sighs again. 'Her heart has broken George. Breaking up was one thing... But the other week was the tipping point. She's devastated. It's really sad.' I look at him and nod. 'Understandable... Understandable. You forgive me though, don't you? I'm your twin brother c'mon man!' He laughed and said he didn't know why he had to forgive me. I smiled and Fred asked if he would hang out with me later. I said yes and to meet up at Zonko's Joke Shop.

I walked into Honeyduke's and see Lee. I waved to him and we hung out until I had to go to the Three Broomsticks. I walked in, my heart thumping and I saw Angelina immediately. She saw me and waved me over. 'I'll get some more drinks OK? Yours needs topping up.' I said and turned away again and walked to the bar. Procrastinating until I couldn't put it off anymore. I got the drinks and sat down opposite her. She smiled and leaned forward, but I put my hand in between us and said 'I'm not under the influence of a love potion of my invention today. We need to talk. Right now.' She looked a little taken aback by my statement and replied coolly 'Who gave you a love potion of your own invention then?' I raised my eyebrows and chuckled. 'Well Ms Johnson, I think, it was the person who is opposite me. The person who I'm talking and looking at right now.' Her eyes were wide and I laughed again. A cold, harsh laugh. She looked into my eyes and said 'Yes because you will always love that Bethany. No-one would ever have a chance with her in the picture. Ever.' I stared at her in dis-belief. 'What about Fred? We are twin brothers, in case you hadn't noticed.' She laughed this tme. 'Well, George, why doesn't Bethany date Fred? Why you? What is so different between you two?' She asked malevolently.
