𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄, 𝐆EORGE WEASLEY

{15} Start of fourth year

Odette had always loved the rain. Every droplet was a reminder that every fall led to something big. Every sound it made hitting the window of the Hogwarts Express brought Odette such immense joy, she could not help but smile.
"We ought to leave a mark somewhere. For the first time in Odette's fourteen years, she is not a gloomy witch." Lee said, immediately turning Odette in said gloomy witch.
"It's because she's gonna see Cedric." Caspian shoved her with his elbow. George and Fred, who had been laughing very loudly, suddenly fell quiet.
"Do you not see the rain? How could I not be happy?" Said Odette.
"Honestly with you it's like an emotional ticking time bomb." Lee shrugged.
"You're the one who makes me mad all the time. Maybe you're my trigger."
Lee scoffed, turning his head away. "Always so rude" He mumbled. "You're lucky I love you."

There was a sudden knock on the compartment door. Odette, who had been head to head in a thumb fight against Caspian, used the distraction to her advantage to take the win, and after a short cheer she looked behind to see Alicia waving her over. She motioned a quick "what?" with her hands, but Alicia wouldn't open the door, continuously beckoning Odette to go over.
"Oh, please, free me and go." Said Lee.
"Why don't you jump off, Lee Jordan?" Said Odette, who quickly got up and opened the door, hearing Lee say: "Bitch.", quietly. She shot him a glare, then looked at Alicia, "Yes, Al?"
"Somebody's asked to see you. Come with me." Alicia pulled Odette by her hand, not leaving her much space to argue. Odette followed quietly, because the last five questions she had asked had gone unanswered.
"Close your eyes." Said Alicia.
"Ah, so you do speak!" That earned Odette a glare. "Fine, but don't kill me." She said, putting her hand over her eyes.
"Don't peek!"

Suddenly, they both stopped. Odette began to remove her hand from her face, but Alicia quickly put it back up, "I said no peeking you twat!"
Odette heard some rustling footsteps, but kept her eyes shut until two warm hands grabbed hers. Alicias had been cold, so Odette reveled in the warmth. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find Cedric towering in front of her. "Oh! Cedric!" Odette wrapped her arms around him, and he lifted her up in a long hug. Once he put her down, his eyes lingered on hers for only a moment until he kissed her slowly. Her hands found the knots of his hair, moving around them as if they were blades of grass on a field on a warm Summer day. Cedric's hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her in closer.
Once they broke apart, Cedric said "I've missed you."
Odette pressed her head to his chest, finding the sound of his heartbeat unnervingly fast, unlike the calm one of- but no, she could not think that, Cedric was her boyfriend, it did not matter if his heartbeat calmed her down.

"Odette!" She heard that agitating squeak of a voice that came only from Lee Jordan's voicebox.
She sighed, slowly letting go of Cedric, and turned around, "What is it now?" Cedric kept pecking her cheek, asking her to stay. She clamped her hand over his mouth and shushed him. Cedric bit her fingers and she glared at him, that earning her a peck on the lips.
"It's Angelina. She needs you!"
"I need you too." Whispered Cedric, giving her dramatic puppy eyes. Odette kissed him once more, called him stupid, and left.
"For Merlin's sake do you have to have his snot against yours all the time?" Said Lee once Odette was close enough to not shout.
"Do you have to have your nose in my business all the time?"
"Yes!" Said Lee, making Odette laugh.
"You're an idiot."
"It's not like you're some renowned genius."
"You're my favorite idiot."
"Fred's gonna be so jealous when I tell him that."
"Fred's my favorite moron."
Lee laughed. "Anyways, Angelina requires your therapist skills. Although, since you're in dire need of therapy yourself, I do not know how you'll be of any help."
"You watch your back, Lee." Odette threatened, entering Angelina's compartment.

The rain was everlasting so Odette had bewitched the carriage to protect them from the pour. The five of them sat down, when Odette had a brilliant idea.
"Oi, Freddie?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"I have a super cool idea."
"What is it?"
"I say we throw Lee off the carriage and let him walk to the castle." She smirked.
"I'm literally right here." Lee said.
"You heard that?" Fred asked.
"Sound like an annoying bitch who's about to beg for mercy." George smirked.
"Don't you dare." Lee said. "My hair will be ruined!"
"It's not that far anyway, so you won't die of starvation." Odette said.
"You, shush." He raised his finger at her.
"Is that so?" The twins said in unsion as they quickly got up and lifted Lee.
"STOP! PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN!" Lee shouted.
"If you say so." George smirked as they let him down, but not on the carriage.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU THREE!" He shouted chasing after them.
"DON'T RUN! YOU'LL BE TIRED BEFORE YOU GET THERE." Odette said as Lee struggled to catch up.
