A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 27 - Nothing but You

I woke up to the familiar smell of cinnamon and firewood, basking in the smell. I turned around in my warm bed to be met with those hazel eyes, the brilliant smile, and the adoring expression that I loved so. It took a few moments for me to realize that this wasn't my room and that I was face to face with George. "Fuck!" I exclaimed, realizing that Elise must be wondering where I am. I looked around his dorm to see that the other beds were empty meaning that Fred and Lee had already left. I looked up to the clock to see that it was 12:23. "Shit, shit, shit," I muttered under my breath, gathering myself before going to leave the dorm, forgetting all about George who had been in bed with me.

"Don't worry, the boys didn't see you. You were buried under the covers." I heard his deep morning voice and my stomach fluttered, god even his voice was hot.

"Why didn't you wake me?" I questioned, turning back to him in a huff, putting my hands on my hips.

"You were sleeping and you looked so peaceful, didn't want to disturb you."

"If you only knew," I said under my breath heading for the door. Ever since I was 14, I would get nightmares almost every night, and after what happened yesterday, the memories came flooding back and had repeated in my subconscious all night.

I felt his soft hand find my wrists and I prayed he wouldn't see the bruises Pucey had left. "What do you mean Althea Jane?" Of course, he had heard.

I smiled fakely before quickly responding, "Nothing!" Before escaping his weak grasp and running to my dorm.

When I was done getting dressed and putting some makeup on, I went to the Entrance Hall to meet the others for lunch. As I sat down Elise asked, "Where were you, I didn't see you in our dorm this morning?"

My lying ass said, "Oh, I decided to go on a walk in the courtyard this morning. I guess I lost track of time."

I felt George whisper, "I hope you enjoyed yourself." His husky voice and soft lips a ghost in the crook of my neck, making me more aware than ever. I straightened my back and cleared my throat before grabbing the mug of coffee and entertaining Roya's conversation.

"Do you guys want to go to Hogsmeade now?" Fred asked the group.

"I'm hanging with Ced today," Elise announced before heading off to her boyfriend, not before kissing me on the cheek and offering me a warm smile.

"Blaise," Roya said, winking at me and nodding to the dark-skinned boy standing by the doors.

"I'm going on the date with Alicia today!" Lee exclaimed happily. "Thanks to you Theia!" He kissed the top of my head before taking the last swig of pumpkin juice and running giddily to the Gryffindor chaser. This left Angelina, Fred, George, and I to go to Hogsmeade, and I quickly put my coat on before we left.

"Let's go get butterbeer it's too cold!" Said Angelina, shivering slightly.

We all agreed and entered our usual booth where we had engraved the names of everyone in the group, ordering the drinks. "Just a coffee for me please," I asked the server, who nodded and left to go make the drinks.

We made simple conversation while waiting for our drinks impatiently. "I'm freezing!" I exclaimed, holding my body tightly. Mine and Angelina's teeth were chattering quickly while the twins were appearing to be perfectly fine.

"How come you guys aren't cold?" Angelina questioned, leaning into her soulmate for some of his warmth.

"Body heat baby." He snarked, resulting in Angelina sticking her finger out at him.
