Plot Twist [GEORGE WEASLEY]

Yours Sincerely, George Weasley

George's First and Only Draft — 24th December 1994

Dear Amara,

I thought I'll write a letter to you to apologize about what happened that day in Hogsmeade. It was Fred's idea. It's Christmas Eve and I feel guilty for what I said and how I acted. I couldn't understand. I didn't even try. I don't like you crying. It's the first time I saw you cry and I hated it. Don't ever cry. I mean, bottling your emotions is bad. But if you ever cry again, I think I'll go insane. I'm so sorry. I had no right to tell you it was nothing. It is something. You can talk to me about it more if you want. I don't know much about it. I want to understand. If you even want to talk to me.

It's worse because it's happening before Christmas and the Yule Ball. I was hoping we could open our presents together. I'm so happy you bought me a present. I was also hoping that I could steal you from James for a bit at the Yule Ball. Wait, I can't say that. I don't want to steal you. Maybe ask you to dance once with me. But if I never get the courage to apologize or send you this letter, that's not going to happen. I don't know how things will turn out.

Also by the way, I really like you. Haha. Yes, I'm definitely never sending this letter to you. I may be a Gryffindor but when it comes to this stuff, I'm a downright coward. So yeah, I like you. Too much. I think the word 'sap' describes what I am around you. It's funny it started from a harmless childhood crush (Yeah you're the girl I like since year one. Surprised? Aren't you shocked?) that doesn't mean anything really. And then I couldn't even look at you after you laughed at me. Merlin, I was such a git. Where was I?

Oh yeah. I really, really like you. It's a recent thing that has been bugging me. I feel I've to tell you. Or I'll explode. Liking someone is a very vague way to say it now that I think about it. Let's call it being so...curious about someone. Like the sort of curiosity that actually could kill a cat. I'm so curious about you, Amara. I'm so curious about what you think about. What you feel. Do you like music? I hope you like the Weird Sisters. Then it could be something we can actually have in common. What's your favourite book? I know you read a lot of those. What do you want to do when we get out of Hogwarts? What's your favourite season? Wait, I think I know. Isn't it Autumn? I'm so curious about your early childhood. We definitely had different childhoods. You were probably quiet and I was so loud and annoying. If we became friends after we spoke for the first time, I wonder if you would've liked me then.

And lastly, what I'm so curious about is if you're so curious about me. Are you? Do you like me? Do you think about me? Or I'm still someone you've yet to trust? We're friends. You made it perfectly clear that we are. But, does something else cross your mind when you think about me?

I hope you are. We could be great. Together that is. We're so different but also so alike somehow. I can't pinpoint it. It's another thing I'm so curious about. Us. Okay. I'm going to bed now. I know I'm not going to send this letter. It's so ridiculous! I am not going to show Fred either. He might just take it and owl it to you. That sounds awful. I'm going to incinerate it. I will have to find another way to talk to you. Merry Christmas, Amara.

Yours Sincerely,

George Weasley

Author's note: This is a blast from the past. So basically, this is a draft of the letter George came up with to apologize to Amara for what happened in Hogsmeade when she went shopping for her Yule Ball dress. Remember? She couldn't fit into her dress and the lady at the shop was being mean about it. Obviously, he never sent it.

I hope you liked your Christmas presents. Please tell me if you found the stories cozy. I wanted to give you all a gift for motivating me to write again earlier this year. You've no idea how much it makes me happy to see your comments. My life has been sucking a lot for two years so this has been my safe place. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah! 

Love, girlofthunder
