Ode to Perfection, George Weasley X OC

Chapter 2: Friendly Staring Contest

Walking into the glorious Great Hall. Capella stops and to take in the site. She loved and missed Hogwarts, it was her home away from home. She walks over to her normal seat at the Slytherin table, her group of friends patiently waiting.

"Look its the magnificent Capella!" Cassius cheers leading the whole group to cheer as well, getting a lot of stares from everyone in the Great Hall. "Thanks Cass, but calm down. Don't want more people staring now do we," Capella says sitting down, while the food appeared on the table.

Marcus wraps his arm around Capella and looks around to make sure people see. Gemma leans forward with everyone else to whisper, "You know you don't have to pretend in front of us, we all know." "Gemma, trust me, we know you guys know, but other people, especially Draco's younger friends, don't need to rat us out" Marcus respond giving her a gentle smile. "Well I guess that's true mate. What are you gonna do about your parents later though? You really gonna marry each other?" Miles asks curious of how his friends will work this out.

"We will deal with it when it comes to it, now eat your food!" Capella says annoyed, giving them all an angry look. "Yes madam Malfoy, don't get all fussy at us," Lucian says laughing, the other friends joining in while they eat. Capella looks down to start eating her food. The friends were having a conversation but Capella dazed out of it.

She started looking around the Great Hall and at all the happy cheery faces, wondering why she couldn't feel like that all the time. Yes, she was happy with her friends and Draco, but why must her life hold so much value to her family that she can't even have fun.

Capella looks towards the Gryffindor table. Take Harry Potter for example. She despised him, but not for the reasons her parents want her to. He had so much value in not his life but everyone else around him as well. He had performed a duty to the entire Wizarding World at barely the age of one, and yet, he is still able to laugh about with his friends and seem to have a fun time at Hogwarts on the outside.

Capella shakes her head. She was scanning the Great Hall once more when her eyes fall upon the certain tall red-head with dark brown eyes. He seemed to be laughing with his twin. Capella didn't know why, but she loved the way his face looked when he laughed, he looked like he really was having the time of his life. Just watching him laugh made Capella smile.

"Hey snap out of it Capella!" Graham says waving his hand in front of Capella's face. "What? What'd I miss?" she says looking towards Graham and Peregrine. "Oh nothing. What were you looking at?" Peregrine asks, raising an eyebrow. "Oh nothing, just thinking," Capella says, slouching back.

Her friends go off to chatting once again while Capella looks back to the laughing ginger. But he isn't laughing anymore. He's looking at Capella. The two kept looking into each other's eyes for what seemed to be an eternity.

While looking over at the blonde Slytherin girl, George is all of a sudden pulled out of her gaze by someone speaking. "George why is Malfoy looking at you?" Ron stated with a look of grimace on his face. "Did you prank her without me?!" Fred asks in mock shock but actually hurt. "No, I didn't prank her! I don't know why she's looking at me. Maybe she wants to do a staring contest?" George says, putting his arms up in defeat making his table laugh. After the little laughing session, the group continue on conversing like nothing happened.

George was lost in thought once again. Not looking at the girl this time but down at his food. But just because he wasn't looking at her doesn't mean he wasn't thinking about her. George got to wondering what that girl's name is. He knows she's a Malfoy, but he never put much care into what her name is before. Shaking his head to get the thought out of his mind, he resorts to looking around the Great Hall.

Before he knew it they were back to staring at each other again. He loved her eyes. The cold blue just like the other Malfoys but her's were different. He could see a sense of care and love in her eyes. They always said the eyes were the way to the soul, and he has now seen that to be true, for those of the Malfoy girl seemed to tell more of a story that he doesn't imagine her thinking up herself.

Not to bring up her getting hurt for Draco, he had much adoration for her for that. He might not like Draco at all but she cared so he cared.

George was falling for this girl, and he didn't even know her name. And Capella had the same thoughts. They were both falling for someone they've never met.
