~'Spell' out love ~ George Weasley X Reader

- Falling for her to soon -

After lunch ended, Hermione grabbed my arm and pulled me to walk with her to the library where I had promised to study with her. Seeing as we had no more classes until dinner it was a perfect time.

Usually, during my free periods, I would make my way to Professor Dumbledore's office for extended classes with him but what's one free period in the library going to do?

< ♡ Time Skip ♡ >

After dinner, everyone walked back to their common rooms. As for me, I wasn't feeling tired yet so decided that I'd head back to the library and do some reading, which for sure will make me tired in some way hopefully.

~ George's pov

I don't usually go to the library as you know, but I have made this one exception for this amazing prank that I and Fred have come up with to get back at professor 'Umbitch' for making us suffer half an hour worth of our time for basically nothing. Not that I'm complaining really...

We have been planning this all day, but all that was left to do was make a simple potion that's not as simple as it claims to be for our pea-sized brains.

Fred asked me to look for a book that contained enough information on the potion. That way it could help in completing this without any problems.

Not to brag or anything, but I do make an effort to visit the library once a month. At least...

Walking inside the doors to the library, I saw that it was half empty as expected at round about this time.

I walked towards a shelf labelled with different books on potions and traced my finger across the titles until reaching the one I needed most.

Once I took the book out of its slot, I spot someone sitting across the table from the opposite side of the shelf, through the empty gap it made when taking the book.

It took my eyes some time to adjust in the dimly lit room to realise it was Y/n.

'What's she doing up at this time I thought to myself taking a minute to study her, catching every little feature from her smooth (H/c) hair which was up into a messy bun that made her look adorable, letting a couple of strands fall into her face which she would occasionally blow out of the way, to her gorgeous, bright/Dark (e/c) eyes.

She was reading what I can only assume was a muggle book and sketching down onto a piece of parchment, looking very concentrated.

I could tell she was concentrating due to her facial expression. She would occasionally bite down on her lip, writing onto the piece of parchment making her look even more attractive than before.

I was debating on whether to go over and talk or not, but it looked like I didn't have a choice as my body immediately took over and walked towards her table where she sat still preoccupied with her book.

"Hiya love, your up late," I said casually taking the seat across from her.

"I could say the same thing to you," she replied glancing up from her book sleepily.

"I'm here on business," I said. Holding up the potions book for her to see as she let out an adorable giggle.

"You, George Weasley came here to read? I don't believe what I'm seeing." She laughed.

Kidding on to be offended by her comment. I placed my hand to my heart.

"That hurt Y/n. I may not read a lot, but when it involves a good prank I'd do just about anything." I said, resulting in another giggle to escape from her mouth. I couldn't help but smile and stare at her in awe every time she did that.

'What is this girl doing to me?'

"Ooh! What amazing prank do u have in store for us, Mr Weasley." She asked with a smirk and slightly leaning on the table seeming rather intrigued.

"That's for me to know and you to find out," I replied also beginning to lean in on the table.

"Is that so?" She said, leaning in some more before our noses were just about touching.

"Indeed," I replied, thinking about whether to close the space between us by placing a kiss on her soft-looking lips.

Suddenly, someone came barging into the library looking furious.

Y/n jumped back in her seat in fear looking over at the door to see who had made such an entrance at this time of night.

We were both surprised to see Malfoy walk past our way to grab an unknown book before leaving us again without saying a single word.

"Even Malfoy? I must be dreaming?" Y/n said watching as the blonde left.

"Not a clue as to what just happened there," I said watching Malfoy leave the room also.

"Well it's getting late, I better head back to the common room before Mione wonders where I got off to," Y/n said stretching out her arms.

"In that case, I'll walk you back. Seeing as it's late and all." I replied, nervously scratching the back of my neck.

"Aww that's sweet Georgie, it's like your protecting me." She smiled.

There was no point in lying. Without hesitating I spoke.

"That's exactly what I'm doing," I said making her cheeks turn red for a brief second before she got up from her seat and started to collect up all her things, but packed them away first. She stood up and moved out from the table.

It was only then that I noticed her skirt was jolted up. My eyes widened and I could feel my face flush from staring too long.

She looked at me strangely when noticing.

"What?" She asked looking behind her.

I placed my hands over my crotch, fearing I might have exposed something I didn't mean to happen and responded carefully.

"It's just that your skirt is, erm...up a little." I managed to stutter out to her as she looked down at her skirt and panicked.

Now it was her turn to flush red. Almost as red as my hair.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry, it's this damn skirt. That's the second time today," she mumbled embarrassed by the situation.

"It's no problem," I replied finding it hard to fully focus on her face.

'Goddammit, George!'

< ♡ Time Skip ♡ >

On our way back to the common room, we began to chat about things to do with each other which surprisingly made me learn a lot about Y/n.

We made it to the front of the portrait and turned to face each other.

"Thank you for escorting me to our common room, Georgie," she said, mimicking a posh accent causing me to chuckle.

"Indeed, madam," I replied using the same sort of accent and bowing down to her.

She leaned up to my face and kissed me on my cheek before turning to face the portrait to say the password.

'SHE KISSED MY CHEEK'! I screamed to myself, still in disbelief.

"Night Georgie, see you tomorrow." She said with a wave.

"Ehhh...yes, YES!" I replied, but due to the shock, I was in. I didn't realise that she was gone until looking through the open portrait door.

I walked into the common room too and sat down on the red velvet couch, looking into the burning fire until the realisation finally hit me.

I have fallen for Y/n Lovegood.

Was it happening too quickly?

Maybe I should invite her over for Christmas...
