Ode to Perfection, George Weasley X OC

Chapter 4: Partners

Capella was setting her things up for transfiguration. She normally sits next to Adrian in this class as he was the only friend she had in this class. But he hasn't shown up yet, which isn't normal for him. Class has started and he still hasn't shown up. "We had a student transfer for this class. Mr. Adrian Pucey needed a schedule shift so he won't be in this class anymore" Professor McGonagall states to the whole class. 'Great, now I have no friends in here' Capella thought.

Just then the classroom door opens and in walks him, George Weasley. Where was her magic luck coming from! The one class she didn't know anyone in, is the class that the person she likes, but can't talk to, is the class he joins! It's not a good source of magic because in walks his twin as well. 'Great' Capella thought.

"Perfect timing boys! Fred and George Weasley will be joining us from now on! Fred, please sit next to Peter Bullock. George, you are next to Miss Capella Malfoy." Professor McGonagall says, waving her hands. Capella's world is spinning. Now she would have to talk to him, but she couldn't, she won't. The Weasleys are blood traitors, they are terrible, terrible people! She can't talk to or LIKE one.

She is pulled out of her thoughts by, "Hi." She turns and looks at the person talking to her.... George. "Um. Hi I'm Capella Malfoy, I'm assuming you are George Weasley" Capella says with a slight smile. "Yea, yea I am. My twin is Fred, people get us mixed up a lot" George chuckles. "I don't think I could ever mistake you two" Capella says, blushing furiously once the words left her mouth, covering her mouth ashamed.

George chuckles at the girl, about to say something but before he could McGonagall speaks up first, "Now today, I will be assigning a partner project, you will be working with your table mate, doing research on the Vanishing spell. You will write a full ten page report about your discoveries, whatever interesting you find. Your papers are to be merely identical. You only get class today to work on it other than that, this paper is your end of the year grade, giving you ALL year to work on it. Now chop chop off to work you all go."

Capella turns toward George. "Well, so it seems we are partners," she says, putting on a faint smile. "So it seems Miss Malfoy" George says, smiling as well. They look into each other's eyes for a little bit. This is the closest they had seen each other, its not a far away glance anymore. Fred clears his throat bringing them both back to their senses.

"You ok Georgie? Malfoy isn't cursing you right?" Fred asks. Capella rolls her eyes, she knows its an opinion but it still hurts. Maybe her parents would do that, but she would never. "No, no, she is being quite charming Freddie, now focus on your project" George says, it seems as if he could sense the change in demeanor that Capella had. Fred turns back to Peter and they start doing work for their project while George turns in towards Capella, "So shall we get started?" He asks her with a really goofy smile on his face. Capella smiles at the antics, 'He really is something' Capella thought looking into his eyes again. "Yea, yea let's get started" She says looking back down to her desk.

Capella and George were working hard, researching quietly in the library during lunchtime. Uttering not a word to each other, just reading and sneaking glances. They were sitting at a table leaning close to each other reading the same book when someone taps George on the shoulder.

He turns his head to see Hermione Granger. "Hey Granger! What's up?" George whispers cheerily. "At first when I saw a ball of red hair, I glanced over it thinking it was Percy or something. Then when I saw the face to the red hair being that of a Weasley twin I had to do a double take. Then when I saw you with Capella Malfoy of all people I nearly fainted. So, tell me George, and I know it's you because I saw Fred in the Great Hall before, I came here, why are you reading, in the library, with Malfoy?" Hermione lists off, giving George a look.
