Harry Potter One Shots

George X Reader

Request made by @undercover_fangirl97

It was a couple years after the last Wizarding war and you were now a chaser for the Holy Head Harpies, you played alongside Ginny Weasley and the two of you quickly became friends.

You were currently standing in the corner of her living room sipping on a glass of champagne surrounded by what seemed hundreds of red heads and people you didn't know.

This is so awkward.

You were deep in thought and didn't notice one of the redheads approach you.

"You're play for the Holy Head Harpies right?"

"Yup" you say popping the 'p' "I'm Y/N" holding out your hand for him to shake it, you smile warmly

"I'm George, I used to be a beater for the Gryffindor team, I'm surprised I never saw you at Hogwarts"

"I didn't go to Hogwarts, I went to Ilvermorny. I'm surprised you didn't notice by my lack of an accent"

"Hey, I do not have an accent. You're the one with an accent, and it's a stupid American one too" with that you both burst out laughing and quickly got pulled into an easy conversation about everything and anything, you were soon sitting on the ground together laughing and on your third beer. The two of you were awfully close and the two of you noticed without even looking for a sign in the other you both dove in for a kiss.

The kiss lasted a long time, and before you knew it you were being pulled into George's room, you didn't notice the other bed as you were soon kissed again and pushed on his bed. It quickly got hot and steamy in there and you never wanted that feeling to end.

That morning you awoke in George's arms and then every weekend after that, you quickly fell in love with everything about him, his smile, his hair, his eyes, the way he could brighten up a room with his jokes. It had been a couple of months and you considered him your boyfriend but you weren't exactly sure if he reciprocated those feelings, he wasn't open about how he felt and to you it seemed as if all conversation went a little like this:

"George are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

He never opened up and as the date of Fred's death grew further and further away he became more closed off and absent from the relationship you were trying to form. You learned from a couple of muggles friends the saying that laughter is the best medicine so you decided to give it a shot, you wanted to see George as happy as he was the night he met you.

"George, George, listen to this!" You exclaimed happily and sat beside him

"What?" He looked up gloomily at you

"What did the Leopard day after a delicious meal? That hit the spot" you grin and chuckle at your own joke, but in turn George only manages to give you a weak smile. The weeks dragged on with you trying to crack jokes here and there,

" I am the size of an elephant but I weigh nothing. What am I? An elephants shadow"

"What kind of sports car does a cat drive? A furrari"

"Did you hear about the mathematician that's afraid of negative numbers? He'll stop at nothing to avoid them"

"Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast"

You even tried playing pranks here and there but nothing worked on him, George only sulked and stared off into the distance. It seemed to you that nothing you ever did could ever make him happy so you decided to stop trying, you had already stopped all steamy action a couple weeks prior when George fell into the slump and you started seeing him less and less, he never answered any texts or calls from you and you missed him dearly but he wouldn't even speak to anyone.

You knew all your efforts were for nothing to one morning you went to see him, you stood nervously at the door playing with the edge of your jumper. When the door finally opened you stepped in and immediately started talking, just to get it over with as fast as possible.

"Look George... I like you, I really, really like you. But I can't do this, I feel like it's one sided, you haven't even talked to me in weeks, not even a smile in my direction and I know you don't mean it but I feel unwanted around here. Whatever we had here is over, I need to focus on my upcoming quidditch match and you need to get some help, go and see a doctor or a therapist or even your mother... she misses you, just please it hurts me seeing you so miserable" you finished your rambling and gave George and quick hug and peck on the lips "hopefully I'll see you around" and with that you left a shocked George standing alone in his small flat above Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

"AND THATS ANOTHER POINT FOR THE HOLY HEAD HARPIES" the crowds screamed as you sat perched on top of your broom waiting for your beater duties to come in handy

"IS THAT THE SNITCH THEY SEE? IT SEEMS THAT THE HARPIES SEEKER SEES THE SNITCH... AND THERE WE HAVE IT THE HOLY HEAD HARPIES WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIPS" you scream in delight and point your broom towards the group already forming on the ground. You were quickly embraced by the rest of the team and when the seeker made it to the ground you helped in hoisting them up on your shoulders.

Everyone was buzzing with delight as you changed and got ready to depart, you wanted to say goodbye to Ginny before you left so you headed towards a group of familiar red heads. You grinned and embraced her before looking up and seeing a much too familiar face, but this familiar face was also broken into a smile, which made you look at him in shock

"George..." you whisper silently and let go of Ginny "you look great, how are you?" You hug him and then back up looking at him up and down, he looked better and healthier

"I'm wonderful Y/N, I've been meaning to send you a letter"

"You have?"

"Yes I wanted to thank you, you really knocked some sense into me and made me realize a couple of things"

"Really like what?"

"For starters, I needed to see my family, my mum and I grieved and then we got back on our feet and helped each other. Second of all I spent time thinking and got back into the habit of doing the things I love. Third of all... I love you"

Your mouth gapes open at the last sentence, but you smile and joy fills you to the brim

"Oh George" you embrace him and sob quietly into his chest

"W-what did I do, should I have not said that?"

"No no, I'm just so happy. We won, you're happy and you love me. I love you too by the way, Incase you were wondering"

He grins and kisses you, the kiss tasted of salt from the tears, but you didn't care. You were with your George, happy again and that's all that mattered for now.
