Black Soul- George Weasley

The One With The Date

Filch had Astraea clean the Snape's classroom, since she 'wronged' him. She spent her time wiping the desks and cleaning the doors. When she reached the floors, Snape walked in.

"Leave", he growled.

"Alright sir", she muttered.

"Black", she stopped midway and turned around.

"How are the wrists?" he asked and a look of softness was clear in his eyes.

She frowned. 

"Fine", she replied.

"Look if-" she interrupted him.

"Sir, with all due respect, we despise one another, don't fake caring", with that she left to her dorm.

'I'm back' she wrote.

'Welcome back, how was detention?'

'Snape tried to have heart to heart, bleh'

'You hate him?'

'You know I do'

'Ready to join me on the other side?'

'YES!'

Light was shown and she was transferred to Tom's year, however this time it was night and they were in the Astronomy Tower.

"Change of scenery", she commented.

"Hello", she turned around and saw Tom standing there smiling.

"Hey", she smiled.

"Do you accept this, Astraea Aurora Black, to be our official date?" he asked her and her heart fluttered.

"Yes", she whispered and they sat down. 

"Why so far?" he asked pointing at the railing.

"Scared of heights" she mumbled.

"Don't worry, I'm here" he whispered and they moved closer.

Astraea closed her eyes and clutched his hand, her breath hitched in her throat.

"Easy, easy", he whispered in her ear, making goosebumps rise on her arms. "Open".

She opened her eyes and saw the Dark Forest, from this angle, it was beautiful, different.

"See? everything is fine", he whispered removing his hand.

"No please", she looked at him. "Don't let go"

"I'm right here"

She felt peace and calm, she hadn't felt that ever. He hugged her from behind and she looked at him. Suddenly, their lips locked and she kissed back. It was pure, loving and passionate. Feelings exploded in her guts, she had never felt like that ever. He held her close, hand on her waist and hers in his jet black hair.

"Let go for me", he whispered. "Trust me and I will always make you feel like this. Be mine and I will never make you shed a tear of sadness"

"Okay", she whispered and they kissed again.

They spent quite time together, cuddling in the Astronomy Tower, it wasn't until she started zooning off, he demanded that she gets some rest and he will see her tomorrow

                                                               ********************************

The next day, Astraea woke up feeling on cloud nine. She showered, got dressed and went to the Great Hall humming. People started giving her weird glances but she didn't care.

"Ready?" she smiled at the twins.

"Woah", George said.

"What?" she frowned and Angelina gave her a mirror. Her hair and slightly her eyes were pink.

"Oh explains the weird glances", she said smiling.

"What got you so happy?" George asked.

"Good dream", she sighed focusing on returning her hair to normal.

They walked to Hogsmade and went to Zonko's.

"What to get? What to get?" the twins were muttering. Astraea was just whistling and looking around.

She never liked those pranks, she was more old-school: change someone's hair, morph to someone, change someone's robes' color,.. those stuff. However, the Fanged Frisbees and nose-biting teacup are not her style. But, the twins love coming here so why not.

After Zonko's, they left for Honeydukes where she felt in paradise. She LOVED sweets! She bought a bunch, just enough to last a week, then finally, they went to The Three Broomsticks. They sat down and ordered butterbeer.

"So, what makes you so happy?" George asked.

"Is it a boy?" Fred teased.

"Perhaps", she smiled. Of course she won't tell them, they won't understand.

"So who's that boy?" George asked clearly not liking it.

"Some guy I met"

"What guy you suddenly spend time with?"

"A guy I met"

"What-"

"Just enough", she shot at him glaring. "Drop it"

"I didn't know we keep secrets", George glared back.

"Except the whole fake friends?"

"How many times do I have to apologize?"

"Whatever"

She stood up and left without any other word.
