Silent Whispers -George Weasley Fanfiction-

6. The Gathering

George and Roslyn laid down in silence for hours, they had a nice nap together and George told more about the pranks he had done with his brother. He is getting more and more comfortable around her and they both feel it.  Still, after those hours they were going through their feelings and emotions. George was petting Rose's hair and she hummed in pleasure. It sincerely felt like time had stopped its run forwards and they were stuck in between the worlds. 

"What time it is?", Rose asks as George gets up and takes his watch from the nightstand. His watch has dark brown leather strap and silver details on the pointers. "It is around five o'clock now – that means it is supper time soon. Should we get ready and find the others again, since we've been hanging in your room almost the whole day?", He suggests and they both get up and fix themselves not to look like they had been all over each others a few hours ago ago.

As they are walking down in the moving staircases they hear a public notice from the headmaster Dumbledore. 

"All students, gather into the Great Hall to feast, we have important news to every single one of you", echoes the notice around the halls as Rose and George looks at each others. "Hmm, rather interesting I think", George says and takes Rose's hand and tells that it is time to go then. 

––––––––––

Ron, Harry, Hermione, Fred and everyone else are already in the Great Hall talking about the notice Dumbledore gave everyone. As George and Rose sit down people seem to stare at them but she is too exited to be bothered now. "Perhaps its about some new students? I've heard that some times people change their wizarding academies due some reasons.", Ginny says and looks at everyone. They discuss about who could it be and what house they would be sorted in.

As it seemed that everyone had arrived into the Great Hall, Professor Dumbledore started his speech. "Welcome everyone! It has been a little while, since we have all been gathered in this hall together. But now it is time to be here together, around something that has been a tradition for years already. Let's give a warm welcome to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Durmstrang Institute!". As those words were heard, Great Hall's  enormous doors opened in the back of the Hall. Girls dressed in blue capes made their way down the aisle. All the boys in the entire school turned their heads. Naturally gorgeous females giggled walking by the boys.

"Veelas – I can sense their presence.", Rose hissed and glared away. "What did you say?", Hermione and Ginny asked from her as they noticed something was bothering her. "Veela – Magical creatures. Their looks and especially their dance is hypnotically seductive to almost all male beings, which causes them to perform foolhardy and impulsive actions to get closer to, and to receive admiration from the Veela. Have met a few of those,  nasty beings sometimes. They aren't 100% Veela's though. Usually quarter or something like that. Some of them are nice though", Rose explains and drinks her pumpkin juice. She remembers the time when a Veela tried to seduce his father. Her muggleborn mother Monica made sure that creature didn't get close to him anymore. That was something Rose looked up to about her mother – she never gave up or let anyone hurt her family.

"How can you sense them? I don't sense anything", Ginny says, asking for answers. Rose looks nervous and continues "I don't know, I just have always sensed them, some kind of magical gift I guess. There is something about them that makes my skin chill, but as I said, not every one of them are mean", She says and quits the conversation. Ron and Harry are both already drooling after those girls as the Durmstrang institute steps in. All the girls start to whistle as the muscular and handsome boys step in. Rose shakes her head and is almost dying to boredom – why can't they be ginger? Right before Ron opens his mouth, Rose realizes something horrible about the Durmstrang institute. "Thats him! That's Viktor Krum! Ron yelps as the handsome and famous Bulgarian quidditch seeker steps in. Rose goes white and tries to hide her face into George's quidditch sweater which makes him confused. "What on earth are you doing woman", he asks and laughs lightly, still trying to pay attention to the Durmstrang institute. "I am hiding don't you see", she mutters and looks if the 'danger' is gone already. "Krum - don't let him see me, it's a long story", She mumbles and looks around one more time after making sure she is safe. "Alright alright scaredy cat we'll discuss about this later", George says and puts his arms around her shoulder – pulling her closer to him.
