Darling; George Weasley

13. Breakfast

Estella felt a tickle on her nose and swatted at it with her hand. It was morning now and she had actually slept well, much better than usual at least. Her eyes slowly opened and she rubbed her cheek.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!" Fred was tickling Estella's nose with a feather. Even with the many hours of sleep she got that night, she was not a morning person.

Suddenly, feeling around at her surroundings, she realized she wasn't in her dorm bed, she was on the couch of the common room. She began remember the night before and falling asleep on George and how amazing it felt. George, oh shit, where is George. The tired girl opened her eyes all the way to see Lee sitting at a table by the window playing wizards chess with George. His eyes were focused on the pieces and their every move. His hair flopping in front of his face while he leaned over the board. George soon turned and noticed Estella looking at him and winked, giving her a warm smile, then focusing his attention back to the game.

Sitting on the armchair next to her, Hermione was studying a book, not looking up at anything that was happening. Ron was huddling over Lee and George, watching them play chess, attempting to give them advice but both ignoring it. Harry was no where to be seen, probably left to try and figure out the next clue.

Estella was still lazily wrapped in the soft blanket in front of the warm fire. Just as she was about to close her eyes once again, Fred, who was still standing next to her, pulled the blanket away.

"Wake up you lazy arse," Fred said, Estella reached up to grab the blanket but he pulled it away.

"Ugh, fine," Estella stood up and playfully shoved Fred. "How long til breakfast?"

"Uh- like 15 minutes?" Fred looked at his wrist, pretending to check the time (although he didn't have a wristwatch).

Estella groaned and walked over to where George and Lee were, she stood next to Ron and watched the two play.

"Morning Darling," George leaned over and kissed her cheek, making her blush.

"Morning," she pecked his forehead. "I'm gonna go get dressed so I'll be upstairs." Estella climbed the stairs to her dormitory and went straight inside. Angelina was sitting on her bed brushing her hair and Alicia was sorting through her clothes, talking about some nonsense. "Morning guys."

"Sleep well?" Angelina smirked, knowing she fell asleep with George.

Estella laughed and opened her wardrobe. "Yes, you?"

"Mhm," Alicia nodded and threw on a jumper, she quickly grabbed her bag which held all of her school books, and left.

Estella picked out a T-shirt and cargo pants. She hastily threw them on, took her stuff and ran out behind Alicia. She made her way to the common room where, by now, many Gryffindors were hanging out, most were talking and laughing, some were watching George and Lee's still-going wizards chess game, others were sitting around the fire place or studying.

"So, is the game almost over? We have to eat breakfast you two," Estella laughed at them, both had straight faces and focused on their pieces like it was life or death.

"Almost-" George said, then moved his queen across the board. "And.. Checkmate!"

"Thats crap! Cheater!" Lee stood up and put his hands on the table.

"You're just jealous Jordan," George rolled his eyes and looked at Estella who was watching the madness. "Wanna eat now my love?" She nodded and he put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the common room exit.

"I'll meet you guys there! I gotta grab my books," Lee ran into the boys dorms and waved goodbye.

Estella and George walked down the steps together, holding each other tight. His fiery hair was messily brushed into place and his smile was bright.
