story here.
Draco stepped on my toe while we were dancing. He didn't seem to notice though, as he was droning on, about how the Hogwarts champion was bound to be a Slytherin. Seeing as brains always beat brawn, he seemed to forget I was in Gryffindor. I grimaced, regretting my decision to accept his offer to dance. He stepped on my toe again. Ouch. And his hand was rather low on my backside.
The Weasley's plus Leesh spilled in from outside roaring with laughter. It was a very strange sight, Ron looked like he was wearing a doll's costume. Draco sneered as if the sight of the Weasley's brought a bad smell to his nose. When he wasn't looking, I shot an SOS to George using our Star Trek telepathy. A few minutes later George swaggered over jovially chortling to myself.
"Hullo Isabel, I believe we have a thumb wrestling competition set up?" he asked, his eyebrows raised.
"OH YEAH!" I slapped my forehead, mocking forgetfulness. I was forgetful, but I wouldn't forget a THUMB WRESTLING competition, it was a stupid excuse, but Draco didn't know well enough and grudgingly let me go.
George went up to Draco's ear and yelled, "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!" and flashed the vulcan sign. I taught it to him. After yelling the iconic phrase into his ear this morning. He whisked me away to where Fred and Leesh were drinking punch. I waved to MZ who was chatting it up with the ever dreamy Cedric Diggory. Cho was looking on jealously. Eva waltzed by Draco, he seemed completely awed by her amazingness and choice swear words. And for once, he was quiet.
"Alright. Let's have a go." I said to George, who looked very confused, "Thumbwrestling?" I pantomimed a thumbwrestling match with my hands.
"YES! Alright, um, you are, how do the American's say it? GOING DOWN!" he crowed.
"Now, now, George, is that anyway to treat a lady?" asked Leesh.
------------------------------------------------------------
It was down to the final match, the tie-breaker, I had won the first one, George the second. Sara and a very red looking Ron, Viktor and Hermione, and even Harry and Parvati had whisked by to cheer us on. But now they had left, and we both knew, this was going to be intense.
"1,2,3,4, I declare a thumbwar.." we chanted in sync together. It happened so fast. But after 2 minutes of cosmic thumb battles, George's larger thumb crushed mine.
"YEAH!" he crowed, standing up, and jumping.
I smirked."I let you win doofus." then flounced off.
