George returned to the Gryffindor Common Room after he sneaked Vivienne in the kitchens and they both sat at the windowsill sipping their hot chocolate and talking. George went into great details about their pranks with Fred as stories made her laugh uncontrollably and spill chocolate all over. He really enjoyed seeing the girl so cheerful and sincere. She told him more about Beauxbaton, her friends and promised to introduce them to prove that not all Beauxbaton students had a chip on their shoulder. They were actually nice.
Finally, they parted ways when he walked her to the carriage and Vivienne reluctantly returned George's jacket. He offered to keep it for the time being, but she politely refused and promised to dress warmly next time. He couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. It meant there would be next time.
All the way to the Gryffindor tower he was under the spell, dazed by weird warmth filling all his insides. When he closed his eyes he couldn't escape seeing Beauxbaton's smile, especially as the jacket now had hints of her scent, bits of honey and lavender.
"Bro, what happened to you?" asked Fred as George fell in the chair with a long sigh. "Did you meet somewhere on the way baby unicorn in a flower crown? Why are you smiley all of a sudden? It's actually creepy, stop".
George peered at his brother from his half-lidded eyes, his smile only getting wider.
"It's nothing. Just had a great walk, fresh air, you know".
"You gotta be kidding me. I know what it is about. Did you finally talk to that Beauxbaton girl? And don't you dare bullshit me" Fred left the newspaper he was reading and darted closer on the sofa to the chair where George sat with an eager expression on his face.
"Okay, yeah, we talked" gave up George as his brother looked right into his soul and he knew he wouldn't let him live if he didn't share anything at all.
"Thank Merlin's beard. Took you long enough, Georgie, I thought you would die a virgin. But I guess you're not that hopeless" Fred grinned like a cat, while George hid his embarrassment behind the hair that fell into his eyes.
"Shove off, idiot".

Vivienne was unusually happy the next morning as she entered the Great Hall to grab some breakfast before classes. She was talking with Clara about their assignment when her friend gave her a nudge in the ribs.
"Ginger alert 3 o'clock".
Vivienne turned her head and saw George looking right at her. Her body shivered. As soon as he caught the witch's eyes he waved, encouraging her to come over. Vivienne turned to Clara with a question on her lips.
"Go girl, we'll be fine with Marcel. Just don't forget to introduce us later" her friends winked at her before joining Ravenclaw table.
As Vivienne was left alone she nervously started in the direction of Gryffindors. She saw a couple of familiar faces, but besides George, she hadn't exactly met anyone and it gave her she shivers. The witch made one more mental calming breath and approached the table.
