Black Soul- George Weasley

The One With The Ride Home

Astraea was on the bed in the Hospital while Poppy was tending her wounds. She was staring into the distance, thinking. She was deceived and hurt a lot of people and almost killed Ginny. The worst part was it was the same person that caused her father to end up in jail. The person that ruined her life, that made a boy orphan, that made her mother miserable. The thing is, she loved him, the way he was with her, how he talked to her. Perhaps she didn't love Tom, she replace George with Tom. She loved George and if there was a slight possibility he loved her, it was now gone.

Would he even be her friend now? She was mean to him, she accused him wrongly, hurt his sister and almost killed her. It was a lost cause to even try to look him in the eye.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to interrupt my patients?" She heard Poppy scold.

"I have someone here", she heard George. She wanted to cry.

"Your sister is not here", she rolled her eyes.

"We both know I did not come here for my sister", he sassed back.

"No, she needs rest. She went through a lot", Poppy scolded him.

"We can do this the easy way, you let me go see her without any trouble or the hard way, I hurt myself so I can stay here", George smirked.

"I'll put you on the other side of the room", Poppy smirked.

Astraea had enough. She stood up, "Poppy it's alright, I can't stand my thoughts".

Poppy sighed and nodded, "Ten minutes"

George came over and sat next to her on the bed.

"George I'm s-"

He interrupted her with his lips on her. "I know everything"

"You don't hate me?" she whispered.

"I am in love with you Astraea Black", he kissed her again.

He pulled back and Astraea hugged him, sobbing to his shirt.

"I'm sorry", she sobbed.

"Hey, hey, it's fine", he wiped her tears.

"You forgive me?" she sniffled.

"Yes, besides you did your punishment", she looked at him in confusion. "you made out with Voldemort"

She groaned and he laughed.

"Isn't he like fifty years older than you?" George asked laughing, she laughed a bit.

"He was sixteen okay?" she defended but he laughed harder.

"Astraea Black, this may not be the time, but if you let me, I would protect you from myself even. I would promise you not to hurt you or cheat on you and I promise you I am not fifty years older than you", George said and Astraea laughed. Few tears were running down her face.

"Would you want to be the gold to my Niffler?" he asked grinning

Astraea laughed kissing him, "yes"

The rest of the final term passed in a haze of blazing sunshine. Hogwarts was back to normal with only a few, small differences. Defense Against the Dark Arts classes were canceled and Lucius Malfoy had been sacked as a school governor. Draco was no longer strutting around the school as though he owned the place. On the contrary, he looked resentful and sulky. On the other hand, Astraea was perfectly happy again. She and George spent most of their time together; they went back to pranking everyone.

Too soon, it was time for the journey home on the Hogwarts Express. Astraea, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny got a compartment to themselves. They made the most of the last few hours in which they were allowed to do magic before the holidays. They played Exploding Snap, set off the very last of Fred and George's Filibuster fireworks, and practiced Disarming each other by magic. Harry was getting very good at it

.Astraea was playing with George's hair, as he was laying his head on her chest when Harry spoke.

"Ginny — what did you see Percy doing, that he didn't want you to tell anyone?"

"Oh, that," said Ginny, giggling. "Well — Percy's got a girlfriend."

Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head, that caused the air to suck out of Astraea.

"What?"

"It's that Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater," said Ginny. "That's who he was writing to all last summer. He's been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them kissing in an empty classroom one day. He was so upset when she was — you know — attacked. You won't tease him, will you?" she added anxiously.

"Wouldn't dream of it," said Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early.

"Definitely not," said George, sniggering. Astraea giggled.

The Hogwarts Express slowed and finally stopped.
