Mrs Weasley (George Weasley)

Chapter 5: no more questions

I'm standing in the kitchen teaching Fred rock, paper, scissors. George is standing behind me playing with my hair. Suddenly the door knob turns and he jumps dropping his hands. I look towards the door.
"Hermione!" I run up to her wrapping her in a big hug.
"Emily! God I've missed you. And I've missed this place."
"Ron I'll take her up, we have things to catch up on."
I take one of her trunks and bring her up to Ginny's room.
"So Emily whats-"
"I slept with George."
"You. What!?"
"I slept with George. I don't know it was crazy. We were in a prank war and it went too far he pinned my knickers all over the house! So Molly and I got them all down. I ran upstairs embarrassed then he came up to apologize and I was yelling and then he kissed me! Then that night I went to talk to him about it and we did not do much talking. And now I don't know what we are or what we're doing and I know school is going to come around and then I'm just going to be Ron's stupid little friend again."
"Emily I-" George was standing in the doorway.
Hermione ran over and shut the door. I broke down crying and she brought me into a hug. I didn't even know I was feeling these things until I started talking. I calmed myself down and looked up at Hermione.
"Ok I'm done. Sorry. What's been going on with you?"
We talk for a while before going back downstairs. George looks up at me and I look down avoiding his gaze.
"Emily I want to play Rock, paper, scissors some more!"
"Ok Fred we can play more." I shake my head at him. It was such a simple game but he was so fascinated by it.
"Ron we should take Hermione on the roof for lunch we can picnic up there." He nods stuffing his face with chocolate frogs.

We spend our day playing games and catching up. Once dinner comes around we all sit at the table I sit across from George and he continues to purposely bump his leg against mine, I pretend not to notice and discuss muggle objects with Mr Weasley.
Once I've showered and gotten my pajamas on I throw on a sweater and head up to the roof with my book. Suddenly I look over and see eyes peering at me.
"Oh my god! George! Don't do that."
"Are you busy?"
"No I guess not."
He climbs up on the roof and sits down next to me. I open my book again and ignore him as best as I can. Until he takes the book and closes it. I sigh and turn to look at him.
"What George?"
"Missy I don't understand why you're so upset with me!"
"Missy? Really? As if I'm a child!"
"You're acting like one!"
"George if you've just come up here to criticize me I would prefer if you left me and my book alone."
"Emily you're not just Ron's stupid friend. I barely know you and I'm completely infatuated with you. I don't know what we are because you haven't been letting me be anything! But I really really like you ok?"
"I'm sorry. It's no excuse but after my parents died once I was old enough to understand what that meant, I was afraid of losing everyone. I still am afraid of losing everyone. So I shut people out."
"Emily, please don't shut me out. If you'll let me I want to be your boyfriend. We're still learning things about each other but I hate not being with you. I don't play games. Well not when it comes to this."
"George I'd love to be your girlfriend." I grab his hand and he uses his other hand to lift my chin kissing me.
"My favorite band is the bangles they're a muggle band. I almost died when my mother was giving birth to me. I was in the NICU for quite a while. And my Mum was muggle born which is why I know so much about muggles since my grandmother is one."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm telling you about me George."
"Oh I see. Tell me more."
And we sat there until 1am talking.
