After a while we went back inside and I go into Ginny's room to see her messing with my disk player.

"What is this?"

"It's a muggle device it's called a disc player. You put these discs in it called CDs and it plays music. I can show if you want."

She nods excited so I go into my trunk and grab out the bangles. Great place to start her. It put it on manic Monday and let the song play. She starts to Bob her head to the music baffled by the device. I stand up and grab her hand. We jump and dance around her room as muggle teen girls do.

"Emily sing it sing it!"

Without hesitation I start to yell the lyrics.
"WISH IT WAS SUNDAY. JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY." We both laugh until a 3rd voice joins us. George walked in picking up the device.

"What is this thing?"

"It's a muggle device it plays music."

It was a mix of my favorite bangles songs. Next was eternal flame. George looks to me and holds out his hand.

"May I have this dance?"

I nod and take his hand. He pulls me in close and slow dances with me. I feel my heart pounding and I hope he can't feel it too. Suddenly he twirls me and I giggle collapsing back into him.

"You're not a very good dancer you know."

"I didn't go to the ball last year so I never got a chance to learn."

"Why didn't you go?"

"No one asked me."

"I find that hard to believe."

"Well it's the truth."

He brought me closer to him. Once the song ended I turned back to Ginny she was shocked but was smiling. She knew this was coming since the first day I got here.

"What the bloody hell is all the noise?" Ron comes in half asleep.

"It's called music Ronald. In all it's brilliant glory." I put my arm around his shoulder.

"Come on let's put you back to bed. Gin when I come back I have another device that plays music too it's called a Walkman I'll show you that when I come back."

I guide Ron back to his room and lay him down covering him up.

"Good night Dork," I walk out to see George smiling at me.

"Ginny loves you. She was going on and on about you once you left. She thinks we should get married. I told her to slow down."

"She's sweet. I really like her." Suddenly he puts his hand on the side of my face and leans over to kiss me. I smile a blush creeping up my cheeks.

"Goodnight Emily, I have plenty more questions waiting for you tomorrow." He walks into his room glancing back at me before shutting the door.

I walk back into Ginny's room waiting for the questions.

"I knew it! You and George! How did it happen?"

"Well after he pinned my knickers all over the house, he came to apologize to me and I was yelling at him and then he was kissing me and I told him he needed to get to know me before he started kissing me."

"Thats why he's been asking all the questions! That's so romantic."

"Yeah I guess it is. Gin no matter what happens even if things between me and George don't work out. Ron is still my best friend, and you are too. I haven't known you for long but I really enjoy your company you make me feel like a girl." She pulls me into a hug.

"No we're not just best friends. We're sisters now. No matter what. We should get to bed it's late,"
I get into my pajamas and lay down. I fall asleep thinking about George.

"EMILY WAKE UP."

"Ron I'm going to kill you.."

"Hermione sent an owl! She wants me to go get her today! Mum and I are going to go! We're leaving soon, I'll be back soon with Mione!"
And now I'm awake. I'll kill him when he gets back. I get up and put on my slippers and bath robe. I go downstairs half asleep and head straight for the coffee pot. I grab the biggest mug in the house and fill it to the bring, I sit down at the table and put my head down on it after I take a sip of my coffee.

"Not a morning person. Another thing I know about you now."

I groan in response. It's too early to form words. George sits down next to me and rubs my back. He then lays his head down next to mine and taps lightly on my head.

"Hello? Is Emily in there?"

"No she's gone. All that's left is a blinding rage and urge to kill Ron. I'm not a nighttime person either by the way. I like sleeping."

"You're adorable," He sweeps my hair out of my face until he hears someone coming down the stairs. He jumps and sits up.

"Please don't stop being gross on my account," It was only Fred. George took his comment literally and laid his head back down stroking my hair. I grab his hand from my head and cuddle it into my chest. He laughs and kisses my forehead.

"You know I need my hand back at some point."

"No you don't."

"Many people are able to live full lives missing a limb and they are very strong people but since I have all of my limbs I tend to appreciate that fact and use all of them."

"Fine then."

I let go of his hand and pick up my coffee taking a sip. Just in time as Mr and Mrs Weasley bound down the stairs.

"Fred and George, your father has to work and Ron and I are going to get Hermione. You will be here with the girls. Behave or you will regret it."

"Yes Mum," They say in unison.

Once I'm finally half awake I finish my coffee and get up from the table.

"I'm going to take a shower." I start to head upstairs when George says, "I'm going to go get dressed." I don't think anything of it and head into Ginny's room to grab clothes. Suddenly I feel arms wrap around my waist, it makes me jump and I turn startled.

"What are you doing?"

"I thought we were coming up here to snog?"

"I came up here to take a shower."

"You're actually taking a shower?"
"Yes."

"Huh, doesn't use code words for snogging. And now I know another thing about you."

"You are a dork George Weasley."

"Well why I don't I shower with you?" He smirks.

"Because, like I said, no more of that until you get to know me."

"But I know so many things!"

"Not yet George."

"You're evil missy."

"Yes I'm highly aware," I smile and head off to the shower.
