Ode to Perfection, George Weasley X OC

Chapter 3: I know his name

It has been a week since the start of the school year and Capella has seen the twins on multiple occasions since, yet, she still doesn't know either of their names.

George finally knew the bewildering Malfoy's name. It only took three days of sneaking the Malfoys into conversations for Hermione to finally say her name. Capella Malfoy. What a wonderful name for such a mysterious girl.

It was lunch in the Great Hall like every normal day, Capella walks in a little late due to dropping her books off in her dorm.

As she walks into the hall, she sees the rambunctious group that the twins are a part of. She locks eyes with the beautiful brown ones for what seems to be the millionth time just this week.

She is slowly walking to her table when she hears, "George get out of dream world! Are you ok mate? You've been acting off all week." One boy that Capella recognizes as Lee Jordan, the quidditch commentator. She turns her head to see the brown eyed boy responding, George Weasley, she smiles looking down. She now knew the boy's name.

She sits at her table still smiling. "What's got Miss Capella Malfoy smiling like that? Is it her lovely best friend?" Marcus asks with a goofy smile. "No Marcus I am just glad that it is lunch time, I am excited for some food." Capella says smiling to the group.

"You are never excited for food, it's the Malfoy way, why are you excited and smiley?" Peregrine asks with a smirk. "Honestly I'm excited for lunch! And what do you mean I'm never excited for food?" Capella asks, a little agitated.

"It's just you have never been cheery for a meal and we have known you for three years." Cassius says looking Capella up and down trying to see any sign of trouble or discomfort in his friend.

"Whatever you guys are impossible, I'll take MY food to my dorm, I'll see you all later" Capella says grabbing her plate and walking away. But before she could leave she felt someone watching her, it wasn't the look from one of her friends or her brother, she looks around the room until she sees George Weasley looking at her.

She sends a smile his way, which to her pleasant surprise he gives her a really big smile back and with that she walks out of the Great Hall and down to the Slytherin dormitory in the dungeons. Once in her dorm she falls face first on her bed. 'What have I gotten myself into' she thought.

What is going on with her? She loves his eyes, his smile, his laugh, yet she knew nothing else about him. And he knew nothing about her, not to her knowledge at least. "What kinda sick aged Romeo and Juliet is this where Juliet has unrequited feelings!" She says into her mattress.

It had been about 20 minutes when the door to her dorm opens and in walks Gemma. Gemma had been a huge help to Capella over the years, her being a year older and all. Capella had that sense of actually having a big sister. A mentor who cared about her truly unlike what her mother showed. Gemma comes and sits on the foot of Capella's bed and gives her a pitiful look. "Boys are idiots.... Especially the ones we call our friends" she says, rubbing Capella's back laughing. "I don't want to talk about it." Capella mumbles into the mattress again.

"Ok, we don't have to" Gemma says as Capella sits up at the head of her bed, pulling her knees to her chest. Gemma gives Capella a look. A look of 'I know what's going on so you might as well tell me'. After a moment of silence Gemma speaks up again, "But shall I say I have to agree with the guys. In the three years we have known you, you have never been so excited by food that you have a genuine smile on your face. In fact, I have only ever seen you with a smile like that when Draco does something to make you proud." Gemma gives Capella the same knowing look, while Capella sighs.

"What Farley?" "Well I have only seen a smile like that, and eyes that tell that type of story, when they are looking at someone they like. That's how Marcus and I looked at each other before we started secretly dating "behind the back" of your fake relationship. Do you like someone?" Gemma asks, smirking. "Maybe I do, what's it to you?" Capella says upset with telling this to Gemma. "Oh Merlin! Who?! Do I know him?" Gemma says, excitedly. "I'm not telling you who I like Farley." Capella says, annoyed.

A look of realization hits Capella's face, she just admitted it out loud TO SOMEONE. Capella likes him. THE Capella Malfoy likes George Weasley.
