second chance - george weasley

two

5th of January

After waking up, I went for breakfast and waited for Ron to go to class with me, and after he finished eating we walked to class together while having chat.

'' How was your night?'' I asked him.
'' Fred and George wouldn't shut up for a second, they were having a karaoke night.''
'' Ugh, I know they're your brothers but jesus christ they're annoying.''
'' Eh, I get used to it.''

We walked into class and Ron sat with Harry, so I looked around the room and the only empty space was besides George, so I annoyedly walked over.

'' Is this seat taken?'' I asked George.
'' Yes.'' he said without looking up.
'' Look, there's literally no other empty chairs so I'm going to sit here, just act like I don't exist if it bothers you.''

I sighed and rolled my eyes as I sat down.

Professor Snape started teaching and assigning tasks.

'' Violet, why aren't you taking notes?'' Snape asked me.
'' But I am sir.''

I looked down and my notebook and quill were gone so everyone laughed.

'' Are you trying to be funny?'' Snape walked hurriedly towards me.
'' No, I'm not, my stuff was here a few seconds ago.''
'' You'll be punished if you keep being a brat.''

I didn't like his tone so I answered back.

'' Oh really? What are you going to do?'' I crossed my arms '' I already told you I'm not lying.''

Snape glared at me and turned back around to head to his table.

After class was over I left the classroom with Draco, outside were the Weasley twins and Ron.

'' You can't do that!'' Ron talked angrily at them.
'' We can, actually.'' they laughed.
'' Snape could've hurt her, you know how he is.''

Then I realized they were talking about me so I approached them.

'' So it was you?!'' I asked them.
'' And what are you going to do?'' George mocked my voice.
'' You're unbelievable, just give me the damn books.''

They rolled their eyes and handed me the book.

'' Now piss off.'' I gave them a middle finger and walked off with Draco.
'' I can talk to Snape about this if you want.''
'' No, I'll pay them back one day.''

During the whole morning the Weasleys were trying to annoy me so I got together with Crabbe and Blaise and we decided to prank them, so at lunch we put some babbling potion on their drinks and as soon as they took it they started talking non-stop and I just looked over at them from my table with a smirk.

Ron then looked at me and started laughing, giving me a thumbs up, George noticed so he just glared at me and I winked my eye at him.

The twins got up and left the Great Hall.

'' That was great guys.'' Bella came over and said.
'' I had to, they've been annoying me since 9am.''
'' Are you going to Quidditch practice in the afternoon?'' she asked me.
'' I might, will Cedric be there?'' I joked.
'' He always is.'' Blaise said.
'' How about you Blaise? Are you coming?'' Bella asked him.
'' Yeah I will, Draco?''

Draco looked at me.

'' I'll go if she goes.''

My heart almost flew out of my chest.

'' I'll go then.''

Bella smiled at us and walked back to her table.

After we wrapped up, the four of us went to the Quidditch pitch together, finding Cedric and Ron there.

We greeted them and started running a few laps.

I was talking to Cedric as we ran because we had better resistance than the rest of the group.

'' How do you run so fast?'' he asked me.
'' Guess I'm used to running from McGonagall.''
'' Oh so you're a bad girl?''
'' I'm Sirius Black's daughter what did you expect?''

We laughed at each and started racing.

After running for a while we got on our brooms and started playing 3x3.

Bella, Ron and I were a team, Cedric, Blaise and Draco were the other.

'' I don't know you force us to train together.'' Ron whispered '' You know I hate him.''
'' Use that anger in game.'' I winked at him.

We started playing, I was a beater so I had to keep the bludger away from my mates.

I was trying to protect Bella who was the seeker because I know Ron could handle himself, but then I looked down and saw Fred and George watching us.

'' Great, I'm lucky if they don't fucking murder me!'' I groaned in anger.

As I refocused I saw Draco almost catching the snitch, so I sped up and gave a little bump on his broom making him take a turn to get his balance back.

'' Yes Violet!'' Bella laughed.

She then managed to outrun Draco and caught the snitch.

'' Yeah!'' Ron and I said.

Everyone flew down and landed.

'' Don't get too cocky, you only won because Violet hit my broom.'' Draco said.
'' Don't be a wuss.'' Ron answered him.
'' Wow easy there, it's just practice, come on, let's switch teams, I'll choose.'' I looked at everyone '' Alright, Bella and Draco, you're mine, let's go.''

We got up on out brooms and the game began again.

I was protecting Bella as she tried to unfocus Blaise, but then I lost sight of the damn bludger.

'' Violet! Careful!'' Draco yelled.

I saw it come for me, so I pulled my bat back and calculated the trajectory so that it went after Blaise.

I hit the bludger with all my strength, making it go against one of the metal bars and head straight after Blaise.

'' Fuck yeah!'' I raised my hand and high fived Draco as we passed by.

Out of curiosity I looked back down to find only George on the stands.

Draco caught the snitch so we all went down again.

'' Another round?'' Cedric asked.
'' That's all from me today, sorry lads.''

I high fived them and started walking towards the changing rooms with Bella.

We took a quick shower and changed clothes, as we headed outside Draco was waiting to talk to me.

'' Hey, can we have a word?''
'' Uhm sure.'' we stepped away from Bella.
'' Do you wanna go out with me to go get lunch tomorrow?''
'' I do, yes.''
'' Okay then, Three Broomsticks?''
'' Yup, deal.''

He smiled and went his way, Bella ran to me and we started walking back.

'' Oh my god did he ask you out?'' Bella asked me.
'' He did.''
'' After all these years, finally.''
'' But like, why now?'' I doubted.
'' I don't know either, are you happy?''
'' Yeah, I guess.''

I smiled and we got into the castle.

LATER THAT DAY

I had just finished having dinner and left the Great Hall, so I headed to the viaduct where I usually go at night when I feel like having a break from school.

As I was walking there George walked past me.

'' It's past curfew, where are you going?!'' he turned to ask.
'' It's none of your business.'' I ignored him.
'' You're right but I can easily go tell Snape I just saw you out of the castle..''

I stopped and took a deep breath.

'' I'm going to the viaduct, happy?''
'' The viaduct? Weirdo.''
'' Yeah, says George Weasley.'' I scoffed.

I got on my way and finally got there.

'' What a crazy first day..''
