Twins, Katie! Twins!
Chapter 7

Alicia giggled as she
supported Katie, the two of them hurrying down a hallway, on their way to the
Great Hall.
“I can’t believe you drank
the whole thing,” Alicia whispered.
“Can’t believe it,
either,” Katie giggled, stumbling slightly. “Can’t believe I bonked George.
Don’t tell anyone.”
“You getting serious with
Lee?” Alicia asked, steering her into a bathroom.
“Nothing talked about,”
said Katie. “But still, I don’t want him to know until I can tell him.”
Alicia wiped Katie’s face
down with a paper towel.
“You sure got sunburned,”
Alicia remarked.
“Should have known
better,” muttered Katie. Alicia wasn’t sure she was talking about George or her
intake of sun.
“Do you think you can make
it through dinner?” Alicia asked.
Katie straightened up and
carefully walked a straight line through the girls’ toilet.
“Impressive,” Alicia
remarked as Katie scooped water into her face and wiped it down.

Lee laughed as George
whispered to him at the Gryffindor table. Katie blushed all the way down to her
toes. Lee watched as Katie turned neon pink under severe sunburn. He nodded to
her in amusement. She took a seat next to him.
“Hi,” she said sheepishly.
“Get a bit of slap and
tickle out of your system, then?” he asked her.
“Err…” she began. “Just a
bit.”
“Good,” Lee said. “Will
you be my girlfriend?”
“What?” said Katie
surprised, but a smile grew on her face.
“It isn’t fair of me to
not commit to you and not want you to sleep with other blokes,” said Lee. “And
I don’t want you to bonk other blokes.”
“Alright,” said Katie
softly, kissing him on the cheek. “I promise.”
She saw George wink at her
and give her thumbs up. She winked back.

“That was so smooth,”
Angelina said punching George on the arm later.
“I knew Lee would react
better to me telling him since he’s been spouting off to us he’s free as a
bird,” George chuckled. “Didn’t occur to him she was as well. Stunned him into
commitment.”
Angelina nodded in
approval as they approached the Fat Lady.
“Mimbulus mimbletonia,”
Fred said to the Fat Lady. The portrait swung open to reveal the portal to the
Gryffindor common room. The three climbed through.
Katie was snoring loudly,
her head in Lee’s lap, her body flung across the overstuffed couch in front of
the fire. Lee scowled at the three.
“What did you give her?”
Lee demanded.
“Just a bit of
“Drank most of the flask,
actually,” said George grinning sheepishly.
“And you didn’t invite
me,” said Lee, sniffing. “I see how it is. I’m offended.”
“Sorry mate,” Fred said.
“If you hadn’t ditched Charms we’d have invited you.”
“Alright then,” Said Lee,
satisfied. “Now what am I supposed to do with her?” He gestured at Katie’s
prone form.
“I can carry her to bed,”
said Angelina.
“Don’t know if I want her
to be alone tonight,” said Lee, brushing a few wisps of hair out of her face.
“What am I?” Angelina
asked. “A pumpkin pastie?”
“You know what I mean,”
said Lee turning a shade darker.
Angelina nodded firmly,
and then waved her wand at the couch. It began to change shape. The seat seemed
to be getting bigger and finally stopped when it was about the size of a queen
sized bed.
“No need to injure
yourself,” she nodded at Lee, who snuggled down into the couch.
Katie shifted and grunted
at him.
“Lovely while she’s
sleeping, isn’t she?” asked Fred with a laugh.
