second chance - george weasley

12th of January - monday

Ginny and Hermione pulled me out of bed as I tried to fake sickness to not have to go to that date.

'' Come on, up and awake.'' they shook me gently.
'' Ugh, I can't! I haven't been on a date in years!''
'' That's the point, you can do it, come on.''

I started to finally push away the sleepiness and got dressed to go have breakfast.

We walked together towards the Great Hall and met Bella on the way there.

'' Hey Violet!'' she held my arm.
'' Hi Bel!''

She pulled me aside and we walked further apart from the girls.

'' Wanna have lunch today?'' she asked.
'' I'm going on a date today, I'm sorry...'' I pouted '' Tomorrow?''
'' Yeah, okay.''

She looked disappointed and let go of my arm but still smiled at me.

As we got to the Great Hall, I went to greet Blaise since I hadn't seen him in a while.

'' Blaiseee!''

He got up and hugged me.

'' Such a long time, forgot about us aye?'' he laughed '' Sit with us.''

I sat down in front of him and we started talking, then I saw Draco walking towards us.

'' Here comes the grumpy one.''

He sat next to Blaise and just stared at me.

'' Hello to you too?'' I said.
'' Good morning.''

After that he just started eating a bagel and ignored me, which made my blood boil, seeing his discriminating side come over him, so I decided to tease him.

'' How's the bagel, Malfoy?''
'' Fine.''
'' How about Astoria?''
'' Dating Theo.''
'' Oof... I guess using me to make her jealous wasn't worth it...'' I whispered to myself.

Silence took over us until he broke it.

'' And how're the Weasleys? Having fun with the twins?'' he said with despise.
'' So much fun.'' I smiled annoyingly.

He looked at me and bit his bottom lip with anger.

'' How could you? Seriously!'' he raised his voice '' Betray us for those freaks!''

I got up from my seat and pulled him by the tie closer.

'' Listen here, you brat!'' I said loudly '' Firstly, you don't fucking scream at me, secondly, you don't disrespect my friends, and lastly'' I let go of the tie and he fell back onto his seat '' FUCK YOU.''

That being said, everyone was looking at me and the twins had rushed to my side.

'' Come on doll, let's get you out of here.'' George wrapped his arm around me and pulled me out of the Great Hall.

George went back to the table and left Fred and I alone.

'' Are you okay?''
'' I am, he just got on my nerves'' I sighed '' Can you believe he called you freaks? What a fuckin-''

Before I could end my sentence he pulled me in for a hug, and I buried my head on his chest.

I gently pulled away not long after.

'' What do you say we skip class today, huh?'' he caressed my arm.
'' That sounds great actually.''

We sneaked out of the castle and apparated back to the Burrow.
