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

Chapter 31

CHAPTER 31
K POV:

The rest of the classes weren't that bad. Moody lightened up a bit and said sorry for going so rough earlier. He's an interesting professor and person to around to be sure, still something doesn't seem right about him. After dinner George and I decided to sit by the lake for a while. The snow has melted, and it wasn't so cold that we couldn't stand it. I was leaning against his chest, as we watched the sun start to set when I heard yelling.

I look back at the school entrance, and coming across the courtyard with Scar and Donovan a few feet behind him, is Viktor. And he does not look pleased, and Scar looks guilty, which can only mean he was told about class today. I stand up as he gets within a few yards of us before he starts yelling again. Scar and Donovan right behind him but unsure what to do at this point.

"Vhat the ell is vrong vith you Katerin!?! Vhy do you alvays harm youself like dis!?! Do you not care avout the people who care avout you?!?"

"Vik I......I'm sorry."

"You alvays say that and then do somevhing vust as dangevous again!"

"She won't anymore. I'm going with her on each and every hunt from now on, and she gave me her word that she wouldn't hurt herself on purpose again." (G)

"Is that so Katerin?"

"Yes, I swear it. Vik I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone else. Especially you, you're my best friend."

I watch as he scowls a bit more at me before letting out a huff and opening his arms to me. I throw myself into them as he does and he hugs me telling me he forgives me, but if I ever do something this stupid again he will hex George.

"Wait why hex me?"

"There are very vew hexes that vill vork on Kat if she is vamped."

"Well great. Kat you better never do anything to hurt yourself again because I do not want to get hexed any time soon."

We all laugh a bit before heading back into the castle, as Vik heads back to the boat. Scar and Donovan start to walk around the lake and talk with one another, and I can she her smile and hear her laugh. I shake my head a bit as I realize that I really can't judge because I'm the same way with George, if not worse.

LAST WEEK OF JANURARY
K POV:

I was walking down the hall with the twins and Scar when I heard my name shouted out. We all turned around and saw Professor McGonagall hurrying towards us. Uhoh, I don't think I've done anything wrong at least this week. Though I am vamping out a lot more often these days, and I didn't ask permission.

"Ms. Harrison, may I have a word please?"

"Well Professor, we're on our way to Hogsmeade. Am I in trouble?"

"Not at all dear. I, well I suppose you won't mind me saying this in front of Mr. Weasleys and Ms. Beals. Since Hagrid is still, indisposed at the moment Mr. Filch will be the one to escort you to the forest tomorrow night."

"What?"

"Mr. Filch will be escorting you to and from the forest tomorrow night. Surely you didn't think you could escort yourself."

"I was hoping just that, if Hagrid was still absent."

"I'm sorry but the rules state that you cannot be allowed out without an escort. Meet Mr. Filch tomorrow at the entrance at midnight sharp. And try to have a good day in Hogsmeade."

We watch as she turns and walks away. I just stand there and I know I must have a disgusted look on my face because Fred and Scar both just start snickering. George isn't much better, as I watch him hold it in.

"Rotten luck there eh Kat?" (F)

"When Hagrid comes back I swear I'm going to kill him." (K)

"Kat, Filch won't be that bad." (Scar)

"Great, now Scar's lost her mind as well. Come on let's just get to Hogsmeade already." (K)

The walk to Hogsmeade was entertaining at least but I still had a bitter taste in my mouth when I thought about having to be escorted by Filch. He doesn't fear me, he is just a miserable person to be around. Scar and I wave bye to the twins, with George kissing me on the cheek as they leave. We wonder around a while and the amount of dislike I have for Filch only seems to grow. I see Donovan walking towards us and I realize that this is the perfect opportunity to solve my problem. I'm going to talk to Hagrid even if I have to break his door down.

I wave Donovan over and then quickly leave him and Scar alone together before she gets the chance to ask me where I'm going. I hurry back through Hogsmeade and soon find myself just outside Hagrid's door. I know that this isn't going to be polite behavior considering he is a professor but I will do anything to avoid having to be near Filch. I start banging on the door, not caring how rude this may seem right now.

"HAGRID!!!! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE I CAN SMELL YOU!!!! Open the damn door!!! The school needs you, the animals need you, and I need you!! Now open the door!!"

I hear a giggle from inside and the door swings open to reveal Hagrid, Fang, and the trio. I watch as Fang jumps off of Harry and bounds over to me. I scratch him behind the ears as I walk into the house and gently shut the door. I look at Hagrid and see that he's been having just as bad a time as I was a few weeks ago, with the traces of tears running down his face. I walk over and hug him before joining the trio, sitting on the floor next to Fang.

"What did I miss?"

"I'm comin bac to class on Monday."

"Thank goodness. Hagrid, I've missed not seeing you. I should have come to see you sooner, I'm sorry."

"Ay, it's alrigh. We've both bin given a hard time for this I bet. I'll be seein you tomorrow nigh too Kat."

"You will?"

"Ay of course I will."

"Thank you so much Hagrid. If you had left me with Filch, I would have never forgiven you."

I couldn't help but hug him one more time as I left his house with the trio. I really should have come to see him sooner. He's faced just as much prejudice as I have from that woman's dreadful articles, and he doesn't have anyone like George to cheer him up like I did. The rest of the afternoon passes quickly back up at the castle. I didn't see George the rest of the day but it was alright overall. It just means he's up to something, and he'll tell me if it's important.
