George's POV

It was a bright and sunny morning. It was almost the first weekend of December and another Hogsmeade trip was due.

The first one at Halloween, was a bit dull. As we weren't talking to Sabrina at the time, we just went to Hogsmeade with Lee. It just wasn't the same without her.

This time will be different – I'm gonna ask her to go with me. And just me. I want her to know how I feel about her. I can't screw this up again – I just can't. I almost lost her already this year, because of my big mouth, but this time my big mouth is going to ask Sabrina out on a date!

I walk with Fred and Lee to the Great Hall, to see Sabrina sitting with Alicia, Angelina and Katie. I was about to wish her good morning and make her cheeks turn pink, like normal, when something caught my ears.

"You look really tired Sabrina" Katie pipes up.

"Are you sleeping alright?" Alicia asks nervously.

"Yeah, maybe you need to get a sleeping draught from Madam Pomfrey or something?" Angelina adds.

"I just had a nightmare, and I couldn't sleep that's all" Sabrina retorts – Nightmare? She didn't come and see me last night.

"Why didn't you come and see me?" I ask her worriedly, as I sit down next to her. Now that I take a proper look at her, in the sunlight, I notice how pale she is, and the dark heavy circles under her eyes, don't help - Why didn't I notice this before now!?

"The spot was already filled" she says taking a deep breath.

I furrow my eyebrows at her in confusion.

"George, it's ok, I just would have preferred you to have told me if you were seeing someone......I mean, I don't wanna seem like the type of friend, who would just burst in on people whilst they were with someone else" Sabrina finishes trying to make me laugh, before turning back to her breakfast, that she is clearly not eating.

Fred shoots me a look. I shake my head at him – I'm not seeing anyone!?

BACK UP! She......she called me 'George!' No....... 'Georgie!'...........She.....she only calls me 'George' when she is angry or upset with me - This isn't good! I have to tell her.....NOW!

"Er...Sab.....I....I didn't - " I begin

"Hey Sabrina! Wanna go to Hogsmeade with me next Saturday?"

Sabrina spins round to see that Ravenclaw, Connor Bronston, talking.

"Like on a date?" Bronston adds quickly "I didn't get a chance to ask you after Choir last night. So how about it?"

He looks like he is gonna wet himself with excitement, at the thought that she might say yes. Poor sod – Put him out his misery already Sabrina, so I can tell you the truth of what really happened.

"Er........Yeah. Sure Connor......that........er.......that'd be lovely" Sabrina replies sweetly - WHAT!!!??

"Excellent. I shall see you at half past 9 on Saturday, after breakfast. See you then" He adds planting a kiss on her cheek - He kissed her! He ain't allowed to bloody kiss her! What's worse she bloody let him! And now she is going on a Date with him to Hogsmeade! Oh bloody hell!!!!
