A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 7 - Burn

I woke up feeling refreshed, today was going to be a good day, I could feel it.

We linked arms and went down for breakfast, only to find that the entrance hall was emptier than we'd realize. "El, what time is it?" She looked at her pocket watch, it was 8:40, our first class was in 10 minutes and we hadn't started breakfast. We ran, grabbed our schedules, compared for 2 seconds, grabbed some bacon strips and a piece of toast, and began making our way to divination.

Why would they put the class that's hardest to get to in the morning, and why did the stairs move? Elise turned the corner, me following right behind her when a big barrier knocked me off my feet. You guessed it, George. "Why are we always meeting this way? I think it's time for formal introductions. My name is George Fabian Weasley, and you are?" I had forgotten that I needed to get to class, ugh I was going to be so late.

"Althea Victoria Jane, why is it always you knocking me down I might ask?" I said rather flirtatiously, grabbing his extended hand I stood up, fixed my skirt, and continued to run down the hall. My wild untamed hair was dancing in the air, but I didn't have time to care. My robes were flying behind me and I prayed I wouldn't have any other strange encounters - my first day and I was late to class.

As soon as I climbed the winding staircase, I settled myself at the back of the class, right next to the spot Elise saved for me. She looked at me as if she were saying "where were you?" Thinking of George, and how his mischievous eyes looked me up and down I dazed off. Elise didn't press any further, but I knew that she would be waiting for answers tonight.

Today, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuff were in Divination together, and I couldn't help but notice Elise blushing furiously in the direction of a boy a few seats down. She was never a girl who spoke to boys or even shown any interest to them, despite her golden hair, delicate skin, and lovely personality. She was the "soft girl" in our relationship, so you could guess my role.

I studied the boy in question... He had long dirty blonde hair that gently fell on his face, a strong jawline and cheekbones, deep green eyes, and a cheeky smile. He had sent an enchanted paper airplane to Elise, which she held admiringly in her hands. "Let me see that." I took the paper out of her hands quite easily, she seemed to be distracted by this boy. It read- Hey, I'm Cedric! I just wanted to let you know that you are very beautiful <3 Even I couldn't help but swoon at his compliment, that was so sweet. I couldn't deny his good looks either, but I had someone else in mind...

I looked over at him with a scowl, telling him that he had to be careful with Elise. She had always been a hopeless romantic, after watching Pride and Prejudice and The Notebook together, her expectations for men were quite high, and I didn't want her to get her heartbroken.

He seemed like a genuine guy, and from the way they were looking at each other, I could tell they were in love. Elise had told me last night in our dormitories that every wizard had a soulmate and that you and your soulmate had an unbreakable bond. It left me wondering if I had one, after all, I was a muggle, but it would be amazing...

I wonder if he would love me the way Mr. Darcy loved Elizabeth, or how Derek loved Meredith. Yeah, back in the muggle world I was obsessed with Grey's Anatomy, I'm certain that if I took my medical boards right now, I could pass them, unlike April ;)

After the class was finished, I had potions with Snape and Elise had another class. We were going to be with the Gryffindors, would I see George?

I went down the winding staircases, taking my time to not bump into anyone again. When I arrived, I decided to take a seat in the back of the class. It's not like I didn't want to be asked on, it's just it seemed a little more cozy and private to the back, and without Elise, I didn't really have anyone to sit with.
