Forbidden Destiny

Chapter 3 - Tomorrow

I woke up the next morning laying on Fred's lap. It seems like they stayed with me all night. I sit up and yawn. I look over at the time and it's 6:30. They both put their arm around me and I smile. George asks "Did you sleep well?" I nod. I then remember today. I look worried for a second and I think they notice. Fred asks what's wrong and I sit for a second. "I- it's just- I'm just-" He cuts me off and says "You know you can tell us right?" I think again. "Yeah.. I'm just.. scared."

They look at each other then George asks why. I respond and say "Well.. it's school.. and I don't have friends.. and I don't think I can make any.." He looks at me and questions "Why not?" I think for a second. "Because I-" Fred cuts me off and says "We know you don't like talking to people." I look down a little bit ashamed of the fact I'm shy. Then they say "But we can help you make friends." I think for a second and look up again. "Really?" I ask. "Really." They both reply at the same time. They stand up and say "You better get ready."

They leave my room and close the door before I get to say anything else. I go through my wardrobe then get an outfit. I pick out a pair of three quater tights, black socks, my white Nike shoes and a cropped, tie-up yellow shirt. I then hop in the shower and continue getting ready. Once I get out of the shower I put my shoes and socks on and walk out of my room, downstairs where everyone is already waiting for me and eating. Which they seem to do a lot. I sit down and eat all of my breakfast today which is good.

I then head upstairs and brush my hair more and clean my teeth. Fred and George come into my room just as I sit down. They brang Mum too. They all sit down on my bed while I go on my phone. Then Mum says "Lola." I ask her what's wrong. She says "Well, we have a surprise for you.." I look up "What? Another prank from Fred and George?" I say sarcastically. "No." She replies. "Then what?" I ask sighing. At this point I was really curious. She says "Well.." I interrupt the silence. I burst out saying "I don't like surprises! Please just tell me." Then she looks at Fred and George. "Well.." they say and pause. "If you open the window.." I stand up and open my curtains and window. I am in utter shock. I start running downstairs.

As fast as I possibly could run, which is quite fast which all us Weasleys have in common. I was also trying not to trip. I run out the front door crying and leap into Charlie's arms. I hug him as tight as I possibly could. While still letting him breathe obviously. I am still crying and I hug him tighter. We haven't said hi, or anything for that matter we just stand there hugging as I cry into his shoulder. I can't believe he came back. He made a promise and he kept it.. I thought. Eventually he said hi and I said "I missed you."

And he replied "Me too." But then we just stood there again hugging until I looked at his face. I missed it. A lot. He then started laughing and I did too. We both smiled and he wiped the tears off my cheek before hugging me again. He was always really warm and I felt happy again. I didn't have to stay up all night worrying about him anymore. Or asking to call him and him taking care of dragons. None of that was on my mind. I then remembered we actually had things to do today. He put me down and I held his hand while he said hello to everyone else. I felt so safe with him now. We sat on the lounge talking with Fred and George until Charlie brang up me going to Hogwarts. Then I realised..

He just came back.. and now I have to leave him.. I didn't notice but I started crying again. He looked at me and hugged me and asked what was wrong so I told him without a second thought. We sat there and hugged when Mum said we had to go and travel by floo powder. She said it was okay for me to go with Charlie because I have never used floo powder. I held his hand and shut my eyes and within less than a minute we had travelled to a Wizard shop near King's Cross Station. I started to worry again. But I forgot about it when Charlie started talking to me. He asked if I wanted him to push my trolley and I said sure, eventually we reached the barrier. I got really scared.

I suddenly held his hand really tight and he looked at me. He tried to reassure me that if was okay and it seemed to work a bit. I was still scared so everyone else went first. Then he said "Hold on to the trolley and we'll run." I did as he said and held the trolley. He asked if I was ready. I quickly shook my head and held his hand again gripping it tight. He had to reassure me again before I finally took a deep breath and said I was ready. I held his hand and the trolley tight. We ran.

And before we went through the barrier I shut my eyes. He tapped my shoulder and said I could open them again. I did slowly and we made it onto the platform. I felt relieved and Fred and George came to hug me. I kept walking with Charlie after that.

Then once we got close to the train the twins said they would take my stuff on for me. I thanked them and went to talk with Charlie. The second I thought about leaving him I started crying again. I hugged him and he wiped my tears again. I felt like I was being childish by crying but I didn't want to leave him.

I felt like someone was watching me so I looked around and saw a blonde boy staring at me.. it was kind of weird and when we made eye contact he looked away. I went back to talking to Charlie. He reassured me that I would see him in all the holidays and that it would be okay. The train was going to leave any minute so Fred and George came to get me. I said goodbye to Charlie, Mum and Dad.

I then got on the train and I heard Charlie call out my name. I stood at the door to the train and he walked over. He said "I got you something and I forgot to give it to you." I looked up and he gave me a box. I opened the silver box and it had a rose gold ring inside with a few little diamonds. I smiled, hugged him and thanked him. I put it on immediately.

Although I still felt like someone was watching me but I ignored it. I thanked him and he said goodbye again and he said "Oh and remember that McGonagall doesn't like it when you stare at her while she's a cat." I laughed and said okay as he walked away slowly. I waved. I turned around slowly to grab my luggage and I saw the blonde boy looking at me again. "Uhm.. hi?" I said. He then said "Hi, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." I thought for a second "Oh, I'm Lola." He looked at me and said "Lola who?" I thought for a second and replied "Lola Weasley." He stared at my hair for a second, then into my eyes and said "Oh okay." I smiled and he invited me to sit in a compartment with him. I agreed and went and sat with him and his friends, Blaise and Pansy.

They were all very kind to me and we had a bit of a laugh and told each other about ourselves. I got a text from the twins saying that I should come because they have snacks. "Oh, my brothers have snacks I'll be back and I might bring some to share.. Or maybe for myself." We all laughed and I walked out of the compartment to theirs seeing their friends and they looked at me from inside. They knew I was nervous so they came out to me. They gave me some chips and sweets. I thanked them.

They then asked who I was sitting with. I said "I made friends, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini-" they cut me off. They said "Malfoy?" I asked "Why- he's really nice and Blaise said that his parents bought him an owl for himself! And Pansy told me that we can be besties and-" They cut me off again. "He's rude to us-" they said "I'm sure he was joking-"
"No, he wasn't joking." I looked at them and said "Well they're nice to me-" they said that I shouldn't be talking to them and I walked away, not even saying goodbye.
