Part 2: Paper Rings
The moon is high
Like your friends were the night that we first met
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed
The wine is cold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe
Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
When you jumped in first, I went in too
I'm with you even if it makes me blue
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
Very sorry to everyone I interact with in the near future bc I will probably act like I'm high one post but then act so sad in the next and its most likely bc im listening to taylor swift on shuffle

George Weasley x fem!Reader
You and George have been dating since your 4th year at Hogwarts. Now, both of you are adults, and an inside joke turns into an unforgettable proposal.
The grey clouds covered the sun’s rays, casting subtle shadows on the ground beneath. The smell of rain lingered in the air, mixing with the numerous floral scents from the flower bushes. It was a perfect day. A tall red headed man lay in front of you on a gingham blanket. George Weasley, your boyfriend of eight years, had planned a surprise picnic for you. Sweets from honey dukes, bottles of butter beer and freshly prepared food was spread out on the blanket.
“Life doesn’t get any better than this” You said, running your fingers through George’s hair.
“Oh yea? You think so?” George asked, a small grin forming on his face.
“George Weasley, knock that grin off your face right now. “ That grin meant he was upto something, which was never good news.
George sat up straight and pulled out something from his pocket. It was a paper ring. A small smile spread across your face.
“What is the meaning of this?” You laughed as you took the ring in your hand.
“Don’t you remember?”
Of course you remembered.
It was your 5th year at Hogwarts, as the 1 year anniversary of George’s and yours relationship was coming nearer , you couldn’t help rave about a necklace you wanted. You thought if you spoke about it enough George would buy it for you as an anniversary present.
“It has these beautiful stones imbedded into the chain. It’s all the craze right now. I think Malfoy got one for his girlfriend last week.” You told George, as you both were walking to potions class.
“Oh- erm. Yea that sounds nice. You know… I’ll catch you later y/n.” George said, not even making eye contact with you, as he walked away.
“Hey! Wait! Where are you going we have potions together-“ you called after him.
It was the day of your anniversary, but there was no sight of George anywhere. As sad as you were , you couldn’t help worry. Where was he? This was extremely out of character for him. You thought to yourself.
The day had passed and it was almost dinner time , still no sign of George.
You were waking down the corridors when you heard someone crying. It was coming from the empty Defence Against the Dark Arts class room. Curious, you peaked your head through the slightly ajar door.
It was George. His ginger hair was a ruffled mess. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had been crying all day.
“George! Where have you been! Whats wrong? Why are you crying?” You questioned as you rushed to his side, plopping down on the floor next to him.
“I’m so sorry y/n. I’m so so sorry. You deserve better than me. You deserve someone who can buy you that necklace, someone who can afford to give you all the nice things in the world. I’m so bloody sorry. You deserve so much better.” He said between sobs.
A wave of guilt came crashing onto you. How could you be so stupid? You should have known better. Such a beautiful necklace could not have been cheap. You felt terrible for making George feel this way.
“You fool… is this why you’ve been avoiding me all day?” You asked.
George nodded , not daring to look you in the eyes.
“George. Listen to me. No amount of necklaces , jewellery or riches means more to me than you. I’ll admit, I do like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings.
You’re the one I want.” You said as you caressed his cheeks with your fingers.
Since that day, it had become an inside joke between the two of you. Every time you fought or had a disagreement, one of you would ‘call paper rings’. That was enough to end whatever quarrel you were in. And sometimes during classes, George would make rings out of spare parchment and pass them to you, making you blush uncontrollably. You knew since then, that George Weasley was the man you were going to marry.
“Y/n? You remember, don’t you?” George said, snapping you out of your reverie.
“Yes, obviously.“ you smiled. You inspected the ring in your hand a little closer. It felt oddly heavy for something made out of paper. You shook it against your ear, there was something inside.
“Open it.” He smiled.
Without hesitation, You tore the ring open, revealing a shiny gold ring with a large diamond on it.
“George…” Your head was spinning, was this real? Unable to form words , you just stared at the man in front of you.
“Y/n… will you marry me?” George asked, pulling you up to your feet.
“I- I like shiny things, but i’d marry you with paper rings…” you replied, beaming with joy.
“You’re the one I want.” George said, finishing your sentence.
He placed the very-expensive-looking-ring on your finger, and pulled you in for a kiss.
As if it were magic, flowers started pouring down from the tree you both stood underneath. It was magic, from the day you laid eyes on George Weasley, you knew it was magic.
