A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 5 - Goodbye's

*Hey guys this is a very important piece of information: VOLDEMORT DIED! I didn't feel like killing off characters, and I don't want this story to focus on the darkness of that, and more on an intense love story and journey.

It was now 3 days before my departure to the Hogwarts Express, and let me tell you, it was bittersweet. I was ecstatic to go with Elise, and I couldn't help but feel hope for what was to come. I wanted to meet new people, practice magic, and live the life I've always dreamed of living. I was going to be a witch. I was a witch. My mind hadn't wrapped around that part yet.

But on the other side, I was dreading leaving my 4 siblings. I had spent my whole life with them, by my side, through everything. And now, after a whole lifetime, I was leaving. The thing with having siblings is that you have a bond, that could never compare with that you have with a best friend or even your parents. Almost all of my fondest memories were with them; My brothers teaching me how to longboard during the summer, talking throughout the night with my sister, trips to the cottage, playing on the beach, laughing until I couldn't breathe, and holding my newborn baby sister for the first time.

Thankfully, I had Elise. She was basically my sister. The thing is, when you find your best friend, your life is forever changed. You would never have to go through life by yourself, you would always have someone to do stupid shit with, or preventing you from doing that stupid shit.

But the hardest part was leaving my mom. Even though she had hurt me, and kept to, she was also the one to get me out of my dark place and feel the sun once again. I knew I would come back for the breaks, and that I could owl her anytime I wanted but it was not the same, it would never be the same.

However, I couldn't get that certain red-headed boy out of my head. There was something about him... But I didn't want to dwell on the subject and let my mind take me elsewhere. I had bigger problems and he probably wouldn't remember me anyway.

But I pushed those feelings down, deep down into a closed-off box in my mind, struggling to close. If I just pretended, I was happy, if I just kept up the appearance of the life of the party, of the smartest girl in my year, as the big sister that had no faults, perhaps I would be ok after all, perhaps no one would notice and those feelings would just go away.

Did I mention I was an Aquarius?

George's Perspective

The day of my departure for Hogwarts was approaching, and I felt great. I hoped that my soulmate could feel just one fraction of how I felt, maybe it would make her feel better...

Over the summer, I paid close attention to how she felt, and I was surprised. Over the years her summers always seemed to be filled with joy and excitement. She seemed more relaxed and happier and yet she was exhausted. Every summer she seemed to exhaust herself for a reason I had yet to know. All I knew was that this girl, my girl, was the strongest and most extraordinary woman I had ever met.

I had figured out that she was probably attending Hogwarts this year, because of her obvious excitement and stress, which made me smile. Why? Because in a few days I would be close to my soulmate.

"I wonder if she's pretty. Oh! I hope she's smart, that way she can be the brains of our operations. Do you think she'll be able to tell between us? No one has ever been able to so I wouldn't be surprised if she couldn't..."

"Oh, just shut it, Fred! I don't care if she's plain, daft, or even a Slytherin! She's mine."

Fred had been endlessly droning on about whoever my soulmate was, he had already met his, and I know he just wanted to help. But I couldn't help it. I wanted to meet her, I wanted to hold her in my arms and never let go, I wanted her to feel happy and safe, all I wanted was her.
