George Weasley x Reader

Chapter 20 - I Dare You.

You had successfully been a bitch for three weeks now and honestly, you were mostly enjoying it. The ease at which you could do basically what you wanted with only the small repercussion of whispery remarks and faint comments. The only time it really bothered you was when you remembered how disappointed George would look at anything you did.
That was easy enough to push from your mind however, you'd become more popular within your house and spent most of your free time chatting or doing something with your new friends, leaving no time to wallow in how much you missed the twins.
As the nights grew longer and the mornings colder, most of you spent more time in the great hall. The common room was chilly but the hall always had a huge roaring fire and the smell of warm cooking. After another perfect dinner, you, Ruby, Marcus and Adrian were playing truth or dare. Marcus had already thrown a handful of boiled potatoes at the back of a first year hufflepuff's head, and some how gotten away with it. You'd managed to slip up to the teacher's table and sneak a goblet of red wine back to your seat. Ruby and Adrian had successfully stolen a small gift box off the Ravenclaw table which turned out to be full of chocolate. As the four of you ate them, Ruby pulled a disgusted face as she watched the main doors. You knew what that meant, you could hear Angelina laughing at something. You rolled your eyes and carried on talking.
"I don't even know why she's laughing Weasley's not funny." Marcus interrupted, "unless you count his face I suppose."
You laughed but your face was frozen slightly, you tried to steer the conversation away from the twins as much as you could but sometimes it was inevitable.
"I don't know, his face isn't funny it's just depressing in my opinion," Ruby mused, "and anyway, you know I hate hearing his name. Unbelievable what he said to Y/N."
You laughed humorously, and sat back folding your arms. As much as you didn't like how they talked about George, their loyalty to you and willingness to disapprove of everything he did was admirable in a way. You absentmindedly lent your head to the side and rested it on Adrian's shoulder, he put an arm round you and you thought of George again. Coming to your senses, you shook him out of your mind and rejoined the conversation. Even so, you could feel eyes on you, someone staring at the back of your head. Without warning you got up and spun around. You saw Fred, George, and Ron quickly look back down at the table while Angelina continued to stare daggers at you. Suddenly all your guilt was gone, they were clearly talking about you and it definitely wasn't a positive conversation.
"Right, who else thinks Weasley needs to be taught it's rude to stare?" Everyone turned round to look over at the Gryffindor table, sneers on their faces. Before anyone had answered, you'd stalked over to George arms crossed, towering over him as he sat. You bent down low over the table and slowly, deliberately poured his drink over his trousers. Ruby giggled and covered her mouth leaning on Draco for support, who'd appeared at the first whiff of an argument.
"Oops, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that, guess I'm just evil, heartless and cold." You said dryly. He winced as you rattled off what he'd said were 'Slytherin traits'. Angelina had stood up wand out,
"Leave him alone! What's wrong with you?"
"Oh? Georgie? Letting your girlfriend fight your battles are we?" The word 'girlfriend' stung quite a bit as you spat it out.
"What does that matter he-" but Angelina was cut off as you flicked your wand and tipped the bench over causing her to trip as it cut under her ankles.
Fred and George scrambled to get up from the floor and help her up too. They were all staring up at you with a mixture of resentment and defeat in their faces.
"What's wrong?" Marcus asked, "worried we'll hex you? Because that's what us evil Slytherins do right?" He jerked his wand and they flinched, he laughed coldly, "Yeah, I figured." The five of you turned to leave and had gotten to the courtyard before you felt something trip you. Getting up quickly and spinning around you saw George, wand out in the door way. Adrian and Draco went to get their wands out but you waved them off.
"Don't worry I can handle one Weasley. Fred was it?" George's face went slightly pink, you both know you knew who was who. "Come on then Weasley," you called, "Have a go, I dare you." You hissed the last part through a grin.
To your surprise he actually fired a spell. Raising an eyebrow, you flicked it off. He shot another and again you deflected it. A small crowd had gathered at the sound of you calling back to him and it had grown bigger as George started firing spells. Glancing at the students around you, you knew you had to gloat just a little bit more - for the sake of the crowd.
"Is that it? I could be doing this with my eyes closed, little bit pathetic isn't it?" A few Slytherins laughed but it hadn't quite got the response you'd expected. Pink cheeked from embarrassment you harshly deflected another spell and stepped closer to him. "Right that's enough I think," you were very aware you'd crossed a line and almost no one was on your side now, desperately you went through jinxes and hexes in your mind before settling on "levicorpus!"
George was hoisted into the air, legs first. He let out a yelp just as his brothers and Angelina came running out into the yard. More people laughed this time, watching and pointing as his robes fell over his face and he struggled to put himself right. Fred was staring at you blankly. You were brought back down to Earth. A hollow feeling was spreading through your stomach.
"You put him right! You put him right now!" Angelina shrieked as she jumped up and down trying to reach him.
"Fine. Catch." George dropped down suddenly right on top of her and they both crumpled in a tangle of robes and bag straps. Before a teacher could appear or anyone could talk to you, you pushed past the crowd and made for the common room.
