A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 12 - Hidden Feelings

*Special tip students ARE allowed in each other's common rooms, I did this for the sake of the story :) Oh and the characters swear a lot as well.

The break had ended too quickly to my liking, and I had realized this was going to be my first birthday without my family. We got to the station and Grace was talking as much as she could as if that would make up for the time, we wouldn't be able to. Axel and Ethan were silent but I understood, the more I lingered the harder the goodbye would be.

We had to stop before the station 9 3/4 since they couldn't pass because they were not wizards.

"I'm going to miss you sooo much Alth but remember your phone! Remember what we talked about!" She teased, I had told her I had feelings for George and that I didn't think he felt the same and she told me to tell him. Yeah, as if I was going to tell George. Can you just imagine the 1st AND 2nd hand embarrassment if he didn't feel the same? No fucking way was I going to put myself through that. I rolled my eyes. I never knew why but Grace and I just found it awkward to hug, so we waved goodbye instead.

Then I went to go say goodbye to Ethan, who was obviously emotional but just didn't want to show others. I ran up to him and hugged him as tight as possible, and buried my face in his collarbone.

"I'm going to miss you Theia."

"Me too Ethan."

When he let me go, he cleared his throat and made a joke which evidently lightened the mood. I knew that that was his way of coping with sadness so I laughed along and pretended as if it was any other day.

Then I saw Andrew. He was always the one to give me bear hugs out of nowhere, and I knew this would be the last one for a little while. I jumped in his arms because he was much taller than me, quite literally, the man was 6'5.

"Bye-bye chubby boy," I said. That was my nickname for him since we were little and it stuck. I loved him so much, he was one of the best brothers I could ever ask for. Whenever we were together, we would be laughing until it hurt, but he was also someone who I relied on when I just needed comfort. He was my brother, and yet he filled a hole my father left. I let go, eyes stinging with tears as I hugged my little sister.

I ran onto my station, because the longer I stayed, the harder it would be. I saw Elise saying goodbye to her family and shrieked in happiness. She heard and turned in my direction where she beamed. We ran up to each other and gave each other a massive hug.

"I missed you, babe."

"I missed you too girlie."

We linked hands and began heading into an empty compartment. I was so happy to see her again, but I was waiting for someone else...

George's Perspective

Ugh. I didn't want to leave the Burrow to go back to Hogwarts. The only thing I looked forward to was seeing Althea again. We had left on a good note, but I was confused as to where to go from there. We hurried to the station and before we could go to 9 3/4, my mother stopped us to make sure we had everything.

That's when I saw her curly brown locks and her chestnut eyes. She was saying goodbye to her brothers

She seemed fuller, healthier, and happier than when she had left and I was thankful. Sure, she would always be beautiful but it pained me to see her in such a bad state.

I had gotten distracted and my thoughts were interrupted by screams. I looked over in the direction of the outburst and saw Althea and Elise running to each other. They seemed so happy to see each other even though the break had only been two weeks. I noticed how stunning Althea was when she smiled. How her deep brown eyes shone like stars and how her cheeks blushed slightly would never stop amazing me.
