A Soulmate's Love

Chapter 51 - Apologies over Coffee

Fred's Perspective

Despite my dislike for him, Theo actually came up with a plan to help me - Not before threatening my life for hurting Althea. Considering I've known the guy since our first year, and Althea only met him last year, I wonder what she could've possibly done to influence the Slytherins. Everyone knows just how tight the house is - meaning that students in other houses rarely become friends with the green and golds - And yet she managed to wrap the three most private ones around her fingers! I've even heard her threatening them with their mothers which never ceased to make me laugh. Blaise Zambini, the stone-cold statue of a boy brought to his knees just by her saying she's in contact with his mum. Draco Malfoy, son of a death eater and all-around malice, whining when she brings up Narcissa. How the bloody fuck does that happen?

Anyways, the plan had been made: Theo would hang out with Raven without George - And considering Nott was the only guy George actually trusted to be alone with her it would work - and would take her to get a coffee from the kitchens. That's the best way to get her in a good mood I thought. I would make sure George wouldn't have the Marauders map on hand because the second he saw that I was with her he would potentially kill me. No. He would certainly kill me. But I had to make things right, even if pissing my twin brother off had to happen.

Althea's Perspective

I was in my dorm with Elise, Lee, Ang, and Ro and we were all talking about our plans for the upcoming winter break. George was sat behind me as he held my frame back in his arms so that I was curled up in a ball against his chest, both of us sat upright from the bed frame. 

"What about you Theia?" Asked Angelina, who had previously told us of her trip to Iceland for the break.

"I'm getting my G2 which means I'll be able to drive and will go visit family." I said excitedly, the idea of finally getting my driver's license had been something I had been waiting on for the longest time.

"Do you think you're getting a car?" Roya questioned as she was on the edge of her seat.

I shrugged, "I hope so, but I'd be good riding on the back of strangers vespa's all summer too." The truth is, I prayed with all my might that I would get my dream car, but not wanting to jinx it or seem ungrateful for everything my family already provides me, no car was perfectly fine.

I could feel myself dozing off as I let my head bury itself in George's warm chest, the lack of sleep I had gotten catching up to me late in the afternoon. I felt him place a kiss on the top of my head as my eyes fluttered close and my consciousness faded, sleep finding its way to mine at last.

"Get the fuck out Nott." 

"Come on dude it's my turn to hang out with her."

"She's sleeping dumbass."

"I know how to wake her up."

"You wake her up and I make sure you never get to Nott." 

"Weasley don't be a dick."

"What'd you fucking say?"

My eyes cracked open and I shifted in the warmth enveloping me only to catch a glimpse of George's murderous glare pointed towards the door. His attention was drawn to me at the movement and his once fatal look to whoever was on the receiving end vanished completely, making his angered features soften and his clenched, sharp jaw relax. 

"Sleep well darling?" He asked and I completely forgot about his once threatening appearance. 

"Hmm," I hummed, "I'm tired," I mumbled as I buried the side of my face into his muscles, inhaling his intoxicating scent.
