I'm so giddy and off my rocker right now, I can hardly sit down long enough to type! George Weasley and Cho Chang are now officially a couple! She asked me yesterday after my last class and wow, I never thought she really returned my feelings like this! She almost ran away after she asked but I snagged her and said yes before she could take the question back. Then we walked back to her dorm, but along the way we talked and I finally got to hold her hand and everything. It was quite a relief, after all the times I've had to hold back in the library. And there was no voice in the back of my head reprimanding me like their was the night Cho came to me after her break-up. It was just... right! haHA! She noticed me staring at her. Felt a bit embarrassed about that, but she doesn't seem to mind. I realized though that she's probably used to the best of the best, which Malfoy could always provide her, and me being the Wealsey that I am, I don't have much to offer. She said that it's the thought that counts, but I don't know. She could just be trying to get me to feel better. I normally don't fret over our financial problems or get easily embarrassed by it like Ron, but then again, I've never needed that much money before. Hm. Oh well, I'll just have to make up for it in creativity and charm. Which I certainly hope I have more of than Malfoy.

But then I had my dinnr date with Padma. I got a bit snazzed up and she looked lovely. We met up around 6 and I escorted her to the restaraunt, then I gave her the boquet of pink carnations. We had a lovely quiet dinner where we talked and joked and laughed. I told her about Cho, because I'd feel horrible lying to her and I'd hate for her to find out about it like she found out about the other incident. She was disappointed, I could tell, but I think she had suspected it would happen sooner or later. But I made sure I devoted the rest of the dinner to Padma. I asked about how she was doing and about classes, and friends, and what her home life was like. We chatted about Quidditch and devised fake plans to get her on the team somehow. Though, I get the impression she doesn't really know much about flying. So I offered her lessons every once a week or so. She seemed quite happy about that. I'm glad. I do like having her be happy. I feel bad that it can't be what she wants it to be, but it'd be worse if I tried to fool her. And I do adore her as a friend or little sister. Especially since my actual sister is going through a Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde phase. We finally said goodbye and a gave her a peck on the hand. It was a wonderful time, and I hope my relationship with Cho doesn't make her feel bad.

Then I rushed back up to the castle, grabbed my gifts for Cho and rushed to her dorm. It was a bit difficult sneaking in, but I'm a Weasley twin. If anyone could do it, it's me. And most of her roommates were off doing things, thank Merlin. They would have swarmed me and giggled me to death had they been there. I was a little late though because I had to make sure Padma didn't see me. Sounds mean, but how horrible would it be for her to know that right after the date I went to go see Cho? But Cho is now my girlfriend, I'm not about to abandon her on Valentine's Day. I gave Cho a box of chocolates that recited a corny little muggle love poem when she opened it and a light blue rose. We ate chocolate, I think I might have ate a bit more than her, but we talked and joked around. Listened to music and cuddled. It was just so... nice. Everytime I look at her I just grin. I think she was relieved I wasn't thinking about having sex or anything. I suppose with Malfoy it must have been often, but I don't think of it that way. A thing like that should be special. Not just something you always do when you're together. I don't know, maybe I'm just old fashioned. She's gorgeous though, and I'll admit I loved kissing her every chance I got. Finally it got rather late and the princess and I were getting a bit sleepy, so finally (reluctantly) snuck back to Gryffindor tower. But it's Hogsmeade this weekend and I plan to spend most of it with her. I don't mind being dragged shopping as long as I get to tease her about it. But oh speaking of which, I better be off!

What a week. Haven't, written in awhile, hadn't had the energy to. Things happened.

Draco dumped Cho... I felt dreadfully sorry for her, but I was giddy on the inside. She's finally away from that prick. But when i tried to offer an ear or help, she ignored or scolded me. It hurt. She said she was going to go just find the first boy she met and shag him. I didn't want to see her do that, not at all, she's not like that anymore, she could have gotten hurt, who knows! But as this was going on dear Padma came in and asked me to be her valentine. I accepted, she's a sweetie, how could I turn her down? This seemed to infuriate Cho and she said she hated me. I've never... I don't understand really. I must care for her more than I had even known, because that cut deep. I felt so horrible, I got angry. Fear does that to you. Makes you angry. Quite a strange instinct, I think. I can't believe I said it still... I called the Princess a slut. I just wanted to say something to get her to not do what she was planning. But she had left the chatroom and I had thought she'd missed it, little did I know she was with Blaise. She hated me for sure then...

But later that evening, she appeared at my door. At first she was acting really funny and if I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn she was just trying to seduce me. But then we began talking and we both apologized and we were there together... poor dear was desperate for affection. And being me, I was only to happy to provide it. Well one thing led to another and we ended up having sex. It wasn't like last summer though. Then it was just about being drunk and looking good. This time... it was caring I guess. I don't know. I'm just a git. But she left immediately afterward, leaving me happy yet self-conscious. I thought maybe I'd offended her or caught her off guard or made her regret ever coming to me.

That fear escalated as I realized she's been avoiding me ever since. And Padma found out so the poor girl was furious and heart broken because of me. I made up with Padma though, still agreeing to take her out to have a nice dinner. I want to make it up to her, she didn't deserve to be betrayed like that. I adore Padma in a way, but I believe it's more of a brother-sister caring that I feel. I care, and I'd be crushed if I lost her friendship, but it's not as severe. With Cho... there's just something about her. She's so fun. She's very intelligent, and witty, and obviously gorgeous. And when she's sad I just want to... I don't know. Someway, anyway, make her feel happy again.

Cho got drunk this past weekend too. So drunk she stood atop her table in the Great Hall and started stripping! It took every fiber in my body not to rush up there and pull her down. I felt horrible, luckily she was stopped before she revealed too much, but she got plenty of detention, not to mention humiliated in front of the whole school and that prat, Malfoy. Maybe I should have done something, but I thought she might hate me even more. But did give any of the guys around me a huge shove and a threat if the whooped or hollered.

So anyway, Padma and I made up and then just earlier this evening Cho finally spoke with me. Ends up she had been avoiding me, not because I had done something wrong, but because she had felt like she used me. I admit I was hurt when I realized that what happened wouldn't be the start of anything, but I regret it... We talked sincerely and I think both of us were in a much better mood. Fred has told Cho that I love her... I'm not sure. Love isn't a word to throw around in the heat of an arguement. I am fairly head over heels, but I think you need to be in a real relationship to decide if you love someone... or maybe it's just I'm to dim to realize when I am in love. But ah, it's not a thing to think about now. Padma and I will have a lovely dinner Friday evening, I just pray to Merlin I have enough saved... Fred and I have hidden most of the money Harry was so generous to give us into our joke shop fund. Otherwise we'd be too tempted to use it for random things, and that wouldn't be fair. But if I end up being short I'll ask Fred if I could borrow a few coins. And Cho seems happier and she's speaking to me again! I'm floating on air here... haha, George is back up and running at full power! Watch out world, eh?
