I solemnly swear (George Weasley- Love Story Book 1)

Chapter 27

CHAPTER 27
K POV:

I feel George wrap his arm around my shoulder and I can't help but lean into him as I smile at bit at Fred teasing his little brother. I turn and wink at Fred before turning back to Ron. His ears are turning red with I'm guessing embarrassment, must be a Weasley thing.

"It's not a bad question Ron. I eat normal food, but I need blood during new, half, and full moons and if I get physically wounded I'll need it to heal properly."

"So you are a blood drinking monster?" (random guy)

I feel my heart drop in my chest as I lean closer into George's side. I don't respond, but even if I wanted too I would have been cut off by George, Fred, and Scarlet yelling at him that I wasn't and that he was an idiot that should have been placed in Slytherin. Eventually they stop yelling and I look back up. Everyone is staring wide eyed at the twins and Scar, some have even started moving away from Scar, which is probably a good idea. She looks ready to hex someone right now.

"I don't drink human blood. I never have, I won't say there weren't some close calls when I was younger but I've never bitten anyone. I always drink animal blood, I even make sure that the blood pops I eat are animal blood. Everyone here is safe from me coming after you." (K)

I feel myself start to bite my lip as I look at the rest of my house, who are all standing looking at me oddly. I watch as Scar looks at her watch and then runs over to the portrait door for a second before walking back in with Vik and Donovan. Both of them smile at me and I can't help but smile back a bit.

Everyone has seen them around the school multiple times, but there are still a few squeals from girls and hushed whispers from guys as they look over at Krum standing near the table now. I see him send a smile toward Hermione and watch as she turns pink, and Ron scowls at him from across the room. I can't help but smile a bit more at that little scene, especially since Vik didn't even notice Ron scowling at him.

"C-can you sh-show us that you're not ly-lying?" (Neville)

"I can, though why anyone would lie about being something that everyone seems to hate I'll never understand."

I turn to George again who nods before kissing me on top of the head again. I turn back towards everyone watching me and I roll my shoulders and my head before releasing the restraints and going vamp as I call it. I open my eyes again to find them staring at me in shock and then I start to smell the fear increase a bit throughout the room. I focus on the scents that aren't afraid right now. The twins, Scar, Donovan, and Vik but it isn't enough to block out the scent of fear.

I cringe slightly into George's side and he wraps his other around me as I continue to look straight ahead. Alicia, Neville, and Ginny are the most scared from the smell of things. But at least no one's run away or screamed yet. So that's nice. I glance at Neville, Ginny, and Alicia before speaking again.

"I won't hurt any of you. I swear. But I can smell your fear right now. I swear I won't come near you if you don't want me too. I'll stay over here, I just want.......I need the fear to stop, please."

"She as never urt anyone in her life. You vill ve vine vith her. I trust her vith my life."

"Thank you Vik."

"Cool." (Lee)

I smile a bit at Lee's reaction and his smile, and eventually Angelina and Alicia smile back as well. Their fear slowly disappearing from their scent. Donovan walks over and kisses my hand before bowing low and saying he didn't think any differently about me and hopes that everyone will think the same.

Fred does the same, except he says that he now fears me a lot more. I would have found the words themselves hurtful if they hadn't been said with a smile and a wink. George pulls me down onto the side of the table so we're sitting on it, swinging our legs together, with his hand around my waist.
