Pairing: George Weasley x Reader
Age: George is in 6th year you are in 4th year.
Summary: You go to Hogwarts and Youâre best friends with Ginny Weasley. You fell in love with her older brother George and he had fallen for you but neither of you knew how the other felt until now...
You pulled your mid-length brown hair back into a low messy bun, allowing the smaller pieces to fall out and frame your round face. Your eyes traced your reflection in the mirror starting with the green irises of your almond shaped eyes below your perfectly arched brows, moving to your freckled covered button nose and rosy cheeks and down to your plump heart shaped lips which you applied a tinted gloss to.
You straightened your green and black tie and pulled on your black robes that proudly declared you were a Slytherin. You let out a sigh before you crept over to the door of your dorm. It was 5.30am at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry and the others in your dorm were fast asleep. Sleep had eluded you for the past 30 minutes and you couldnât bare to stare up at your ceiling any longer. Youâd decided to head down to your favourite spot with your copy of Emma by Jane Austen. You had just over an hour before breakfast would be served and the boathouse provided a serene atmosphere for submerging yourself into any piece of literature; your favourites being muggle works of fiction.
You snuck out of the castle and followed the winding path down to the boathouse. The air was crisp and cold pinched your cheeks. In the darkness, the smell of freshly cut grass was overwhelming. You stumbled a few times before you pulled out your 11 inch Ebony wand with Phoenix feather core and you whispered âLumosâ as if someone would hear you.
Youâd finally made your way to the boathouse using your wand as a guide but still managed to stumble a few times. You put your wand away whispering ânoxâ to put out the light and as you walked up to the part of the dock you normally sit at, you noticed the silhouette of a tall boy.
âHello?â You called out, sounding more like a question than a greeting.
The boy jumped slightly before he turned towards you. The moonlight bounced off his face and you recognised him as one of the older brothers to your best friend Ginny.
He was one of the twins and normally you needed to get closer to discern which one was which but you already knew that it was George Weasley who was an avid fan of late night/early morning strolls.
âYou joining me?â He called to you, his voice still husky revealing heâd not been awake all that long either. The scratch of his voice had made your stomach flip. Youâd been in love with George since 2nd year. Youâd been staying with the Weasleyâs for a few weeks that summer whilst your parents went on a work trip. As usual, the Weasley boys were competitive and theyâd decided to have a game of Quidditch. It was during this match youâd taken a fall from your broom because of George. Heâd felt so guilty he spent the rest of the week taking care of you and making you laugh. You were convinced that he thought you were nothing more than his little sisterâs friend.
You nervously put one foot in front of the other and made your way over to him. You sat yourself down, your left knee gently touched his right and you had almost let out an audible gasp at the contact. He smelt of fireworks, the wood of a broomstick and a touch of butter beer. You inhaled deeply, not knowing the next chance youâd ever get to be this close to him.
âCouldnât sleep either?â He asked you, breaking your dazed state. All you could manage was a nod. Youâd found yourself too scared to speak and hardly being able to focus on anything other than his leg on yours. He looked down at you, curiosity on his face. Speechless was not your usual state. His eyes took in your appearance and you felt a blush creep across your cheeks as if you were being scrutinised. You looked up to meet Georgeâs eyes and a mischievous grin flickered across his face.
â Is there a reason youâre so tongue-tied?â He teased you as his eyes glinted daringly. He leaned back on the palms of his hands, this pushed his leg further into yours.
âOh, just tired.â You manage to stutter out. You decided to lean back on your own palms so you were more comfortable and so it appeared casual. Georgeâs eyes had followed your every move. You played to it as you found his attention deliciously intoxicating. You stretched out a little forcing your chest out slightly. He cleared his throat and withdrew his gaze, shifting his eyes to the water that was gently rising and falling.
George shifted on his palms and his little finger grazed yours. He lingered there for a few seconds before he rested it in the ground, still maintaining contact. You studied his face unsure of what your next move should be but all you could think about was how much you wished his lips were pressed against your own.
His gaze fell to your book that you had placed on your knee when youâd sat down.
âEmma? You and your muggle booksâ he laughed. âWhatâs this one about?â
You had then launched into a 10 minute speech telling him the entire plot in extreme detail. As you fawned over everything from plot devices to character development, George had listened intently, his eyes occasionally dropping to your lips before he refocused them on your eyes.
âSorry.â You had apologised after youâd exhausted your knowledge on the novel.
âYou wanted a brief description not a whole essay.â You chuckled nervously, breaking eye contact as heat returned to your cheeks. As youâd looked away a strand of hair that had escaped your messy bun had fallen across your face.
George reached up a long, slender finger and tucked the piece behind your ear.
âNo need to apologise. Youâre never more beautiful than when you talk about something you love.â His tone had become serious.
Youâd frozen in place as youâd tried to register what heâd said. Youâd all but convinced yourself he wasnât paying you a compliment when he continued talking, this time more nervous.
âYou do this thing where, urm, your nose scrunches and your eyes go wide and sparkly and you make really big, expressive hand gestures.â He had then paused. â I always find myself jealous of the things you talk about.â He sighed and then gently turned your chin, his fingers barely touching your face like you were the most delicate thing on the planet, so that you were forced to meet his deep brown eyes.
â I find myself longing for you to be talking about me in that way. Passionate, full of love.â
Heâd let his voice trail off, scared that heâd confessed too much but he continued to search your eyes for any clue of what you thought.
Without even realising it, you had found yourself leaning towards him. Your lips found his in an explosion of heat and longing. This had said how you felt in a way that your words never could. Desire and content had flowed in every movement of your lips on his. Every gasp and every hitch of your breath and only encouraged George to deepen the kiss more until you both pulled away breathless.
You stared into his eyes once more before saying â You, George Weasley, have and will always be my favourite thing to talk about.â You gently brushed your lips on his, rested your head on his chest and gazed up at the moon.
