Love never ends

George almost loses it with Umbridge

Karly POV

            "How is yours so bad? You didn't do it as long as I did and mines only raw," Harry asked once we finished running to Gryffindor tower.
           My hand was trickling blood still. But Harry's had healed over but caused the skin to go raw red.
           "I don't know, maybe I've gotten so used to pain and cuts I didn't notice and I wrote more than you. But I can believe her! This is barbaric and cruel and-"
           "We shouldn't tell the others."
           I stoped. He was right. George would probably- no would kill Umbridge if he found out.
           "I won't tell, but George knows when something's wrong with me, and he notices everything about me, so he might figure it out. But if you want I won't tell him she's doing that to you too."
          He nodded. We walked into the common room. Fred and George were there instantly. I hid my hand in my robe pocket.
         "How was it?" They ask in sync.
         "It was detention, what do you think?"
         They laughed and pulled me over to a table and started showing me there amazing joke products. After they went up to bed. I stayed up the rest of the night doing homework and making sure I didn't fall asleep.

            The next week passed in a blur. My hand steadily got worse, the quill still affecting me worse than Harry. I didn't register the pain though. After a summer of waking up to new cuts and bruises, I had a very high pain tolerance.
           I wasn't sure how long I could keep what happened in the detentions a secret from George. Turns out I didn't have to wait long to find out.
          Harry and I left out last detention together. He didn't have detention anymore but I got sucked into another two days. In my defense though, she did insult my dad. Ron had found out a while ago and I found it a miracle he didn't tell the twins. I found it a miracle they didn't know yet!
Umbridge had kept us really late today. It was well past midnight. I didn't bother hiding my hand, everyone should be asleep. I really should have hid my hand.
Harry and I walked into the common room, and George was sitting at an armchair next to the fireplace. His attention though wasn't on the fire or homework. It was waiting for us to walk through the portrait hole. I froze as soon as his brown eyes fixed themselves on me.
"Uh... I'm going to go to bed... so..." Harry ran up the stairs to the boys dormitory. I was going to get him back later.
"Kay... why... what..." he didn't know what to say. And then he noticed my hand. "She... she... I'm going to kill her!"
"George, its fine, it's nothing-"
"Karly how can you call that nothing?! She's hurting you!" George exploded.
"Well I can't very well do anything about it when she's insulting the people I care about and threatening to put me in Azkaban with my dad-" I didn't mean for that part to come out.
George looked at me. His breathing became heavier, like he was trying to hold back another explosion. Which I'm sure he was.
"That awful woman... she... she threatened to throw you in Azkaban with Sirius?"
My eyes went to the ground, and I nodded. I heard him let out a small scream of frustration. Then he gently took my bleeding hand and took a better look.
           "'I will respect my teachers'" he read in a whisper.
My eyes filled with tears. I hadn't cried since a month before. But the pain was too much not to. I always screamed, but I had stopped crying.
George gently pulled me over to a chair. He sat down then pulled me onto his lap. I fought to stay awake as he grabbed a piece of cloth, sprayed it with aguamenti, and started cleaning the blood of my hand.
"Why was there," I stopped and grimaced in pain as it all stung, "a cloth really close by?"
He looked into my eyes, "your kidding me right? With all the times I see you come down to breakfast bleeding and I can't do anything about it, I stared carrying one around so I can help."
I was so touched by this, "George, you do help. Your the only reason I'm probably still alive."
          I turned around so I can look George in the eyes. His dark brown eyes were full of concern.
           "I'm sorry. I should have told you, but Harry thought it would be a better idea not to tell anyone and-"
George stopped me... by kissing me. Per usual. That's really the only way he can shut me up now a days, or else I go rambling on and I don't stop. Literally, I don't stop for hours. Fred went and dragged me over to George so he could get me to stop talking two days ago.
           I placed my hands on his chest and kissed him back. George starts toying with the chain of the locket that hasn't left my neck since the first time I put it on.
           There's no time. There's no space. There no Umbridge. There's no Zelena. There's no Voldemort. There's just me, and George. And like always I wish it would never end.
          But of course it does. We needed to breathe, because that's kinda essential to life.
          "Your wearing it," he whispered and pulled the locket out by its chain from where I hid it under my shirt.
          "I never take it off."
          I barely remember the rest of that night. All I do remember was falling asleep against George's chest and feeling like even if it was just for a moment, the world was alright.

Hello you amazing, wonderful people who have stuck with me so far and hopefully still stick with me through the rest of the series. Question: should I continue the series till Deathly Hallows or end it after book three? I think I should keep going but I'm not sure weather or not I should. Btw if I do do Deathly Hallows, Karly will be staying at Hogwarts. Do not ask why yet, you will have to wait and see😏😏. I already have half of book three planned out in my mind, I just need the end and I'm good. But I'm sure that will come to me.
Also I'm really curious on what you guys think about this series. Please please please tell me in the comments! I need feedback!!
I might get another chapter done tonight, probably not but I'll try.
Comment, vote, and enjoy!
