5- The Libary

Willows POV

Only just finished the first week and I'm already the laughing stock of the school. I've been bullied since 1st year since im a Lovegood who's in Slytherin but I've never known why i'm a Slytherin. Everyone believes all Slytherins have a dark side but i'm always nice to people. The bullying has been getting worse. Draco Malfoy brought up my mother yesterday and it truly hurt. She was the only one who cared for me.

It's Friday night and tomorrow everyones going to Hogsmeade. I'm planing on going with Fred. Even though its the first week i have lots of homework to do.

"Do you ever take your nose out of a book" Fred Weasley says. "Sometimes" I say with a laugh. "Is everything okay you've been a bit off recently." I look up at him. His eyes fixed on me. His hair fallen perfectly on his forehead. He pulls up a chair and sits oposite me. Laying on the back rest with his arms crossed across his chest. "Willow you can talk to me" he said softly. "Talk about what?" I said trying to act clueless. "Will." He said. That took me back reminded me of when i was younger. Reminded me of my mother. Reminded me of that stupid comment Malfoy said to me. As i remember the memories it brings tears to my eyes. I place my hands on the table and cover my face. Fred moves his chair closer to me and embraces me into a hug. His touch was warm. It reminded me of the first night. I rested my head against him and he held me.

After a while i pulled myself together. I pulled myself away from him and sat up. Pulling out of his warm hug killed me but nobody could see us like that. Was I catching feelings for Fred Weasley?

"Thanks" I said. "For what?" He questioned. "Being here for me, treating me kindly" i said.
"No problem" he smiled. "I should go." I said gathering my things.

I finished my homework in the common room. Clover sat purring at me for attention. I picked her up and started to stroke her soft fur. Zabini and Malfoy walk in sweaty and dirty after quidditch practice. "We should definitely beat Gryffindor" Malfoy says. I gather my things and walk to the girls dorms.
