Mrs Weasley (George Weasley)

Chapter 27: birthday

I woke up on the morning of June 17th actually happy. I never really enjoyed my birthday the best part being hanging out with Mattie. But this year I had George. George was already awake so I bounced down the stairs and my Nana had already left.
"Morninggg."
"Good morning!" I bounced over to him and kissed him passionately.
"Someone's cheery this morning."
"Well who wouldn't be?"
"It depends on the day. Today is a casual sunny day nothing special."
At this point part of me thought he was joking but the tone in his voice made me think otherwise.
"Yeah just a normal day but sometimes it's nice to be positive."
I felt my heart sink slightly but part of me was still convinced he was joking.
I got a cup of coffee and sat on the couch turning on Friends. George sat next to me putting his arm around my waist and kissing my cheek.
"What's this?"
"It's an American muggle show. It's called friends."
"What is it about?"
"A group of friends living their lives."
"That sounds boring."
"On the contrary, it's actually really good."
He nods and starts watching with me. I put my head on his shoulder and he moves his arm to wrap around my shoulders.
After about 30 minutes I stand up and go into my room to get changed. I grab my bangles t shirt and throw it on with a pair of shorts. I throw my hair in a messy bun and took a deep breath before leaving my room.
"So what do you want to do today?"
"I'm pretty tired we could just watch movies," he really did forget.
"Yeah we can do that."
I sat back down on the couch and he put his arms around me.
I flipped through the channels finding the outsiders and settling on that.
Several owls came to the house dropping letters on the counter. I opened all of them the happy birthday wishes piled up. I even got one from Remus.
"You're popular today."
"I'm probably just getting them all now."
"Who are they from?"
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, Remus-"
"Remus? Why are you getting letters from Remus?"
"Because he was a good teacher, he keeps in touch with the other three as well."
He nods and doesn't say anything else. I join him back on the couch and lay my head in his lap. He starts to run his fingers through my hair.

We watch movies the rest of the day making out every so often. It was about 8pm and we both starting yawning.
"I'm going to go take a shower," George stands up and kisses me.
Once I'm sure he's in the bathroom I go to my room and grab my CD player along with my Duran Duran mix. I go outside to the old treehouse in my backyard and climb the ladder. I brush off the dusty cushions on the floor and sit playing the CD.
After a few minutes I hear a creaking on the ladder.
"Knock knock."
"Hey Mattie, how'd you know I was in here?"
"Duran Duran, you only listen to that when you're upset. Why are you upset on your birthday?"
He hands me a chocolate bar. Ever since we were little we always give each a chocolate bar as a present. I always send one to my Nana to put in his mailbox with a letter on his birthday.
"He forgot."
"Pardon?"
"George. He forgot my birthday. All day he hasn't said a thing. I thought at first maybe he was joking but he's not. He forgot my birthday," I let out a sarcastic laugh and look down at my lap.
"What an asshole."
I laugh as he says that.
"No he's not an asshole he made a mistake."
"Yeah I know, I wish he was an asshole. Then maybe you'd give me a chance."
"Mattie-"
"Yeah I know, I'm working on it."
"You know I love you right? You'll always be my best friend."
"Yeah I know."
"Mattie I need to tell you the truth about my 'boarding school'"
"What do you mean?"
"I go to a school called Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. And you can't tell anyone because if you do I could get in serious trouble. I'd lose my right to be a wizard."
"Very funny Emily."
"I'm not joking. I guess since I'm 17 now watch, accacio wand," Hermione taught me that one. Just then my wand flies up into the tree house reaching my hand.
"Lumos," a bright light shown from the tip of my wand lighting up the tree house.
"Holy hell, I won't tell anyone. Is George a um wizard too?"
"Yeah he is."
Just as I say that I hear quick footsteps up the ladder.
"Emily are you using magic outside of school? you'll get in so much-"
"Emily they're going to take your wand. In front of a muggle!"
"Mattie you should go. I'll come say goodbye to everyone before we leave tomorrow."
He nods and leaves per my request. George looks confused and furious.
"What the hell are you thinking?"
"Relax it's just Mattie he won't tell."
"He doesn't have to! You're underage!"
"No I'm not. Mattie was here because unlike my boyfriend he didn't forget my birthday."
"Darling, I'm so sorry. I wasn't even thinking."
"It's ok just go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning. I'm going to sleep in here."
"Darling you can't sleep outside."
"George I did it all the time as a kid I'll be fine."
"Alright. I'm so sorry."
"I know you are," I kissed him quickly and he went down the ladder.
I laid down on the cushions and turned up the volume on my CD player.

After listening to the entire CD about 3 times I realized I was going to fall asleep. So I climbed down the ladder and quietly enter the house. I went into the kitchen and started making coffee.
"Darling?"
"Jesus Christ, you scared the shit out of me."
I look over to see a distraught looking George he was holding something in his hands.
"Why are you awake?"
"I couldn't sleep without you there."
"I'm sorry go up to sleep I'll be there in a minute."
"Here," he hands me the box.
"What is this?"
"A birthday present I got it a while ago."
I open it to see a map of stars and on the bottom is says our star map.
"It's a map of the night sky the night we you know for the first time," it wasn't a dirty gift not at all. It was really sweet.
"I love it," I put my hand on the side of his face and he leans down to kiss me.
"I'm really sorry I forgot your birthday."
"It's ok, there's been so much going on I understand. Come on let's go up to bed."
I grab his hand and bring him into my room. He lays down and I lay down with him snuggling into his chest. All of a sudden he starts tickling me. I squirm and smack his arm laughing.
"I love you."
"I love you too Darling."
