More Than Heart Could Desire 《 A George Weasley Love Story 》

Chapter#15 Christmas

ANNA'S POV:

Next morning, I woke up at 5:25 am. I went to bed at about 2:00 am but couldn't sleep. I was stuck in the unsolvable dilemma of going to  the burrow or ignoring George's owls.

I still had both his letters in my hand when I woke up because last night I read them about 100 times but still couldn't decide whether to go or not.

I took a warm bath and went downstairs to sit by the fire. Mum, Dad and Chocolate were still asleep. I brought Mum's wand from her room and pointed it towards the fireplace uttering Incendio and red fire started roaring in the fireplace.

I sat in the armchair, a parchment in my hand with just Dear Georgie written on the top of it otherwise it was blank. A quill in my other hand but I had nothing on my mind to write. A big part of my heart was telling me to go and spend a wonderful Christmas with the Weasleys. But the thought of Darla Carson was not letting me do what I wanted.

The sun bloomed on the horizon. I walked out to the backyard to water the plants. Warm sunlight fell on by body. It was like a warm hug from nature.

I filled the water can with water and started watering the plants. About after five minutes, I heard an owl hooting. I looked up and saw it flying towards me. Who could it be sending us an owl this early in the morning. I didn't recognise the owl, but it landed on a bush right in front of me. I took the letter from its beak and read the name on it. It was from George. I sighed and opened the letter.

Dearest Anna,
                        We'll board the Hogwarts Express in few hours. We will be home by evening. I am still waiting for your owl. I showed Freddie your letter. He was furious about it and blames me. Please spend your Christmas with me at the Burrow. Don't make me wait for the Christmas break to finish to see you. I really miss you Anna.
                             With love,
                                          George Weasley.

'Oh Georgie, I miss you too. I miss you so much'.

I became distraught to read his letters. Just as I folded the letter after reading it, another owl came flying towards me with another letter. It too was from George.

After few minutes, I saw Errol soaring through the sky. Another letter from Georgie. Five letters, with different words but same thought. He sent me five owls in just twenty-four hours. In these five letters, he told me how much he misses me about 500 times.

I regret my decision of sending him that owl now. I didn't have the potential to face him now.

"Oh Errol, you must be tired. I've troubled you too buddy", I went inside, placed the letters on the table and brought treats for Errol and the other owls. They rested there for a while, then flew away.

I went inside and saw Mum with my parchment and George's letters in her hand.

"Good morning honey", she said with a smile plastered on her pretty face.

"Morning Mum. Your wand", I smiled back and handed her the wand. She didn't ask why I took it because she knew I always take her wand to make fire as I was not yet allowed to use magic outside of school.

"Writing a letter to George, I see", she smirked.

"Umm, I don't think so", I took the parchment from her and crumpled it.

"You have three letters from George. Is everything okay with him", she asked.

"Yes Mum. Everything's fine", I took the letters and walked to my room.
