Blue Belle {Fred Weasley}

Chapter 39

Belle was wheezing as her lungs begged for her to stop running around the school and actually allow air to get to them. Her legs were aching as well but she didn't stop, she needed to find Enoch. Students that she passed must have thought she was crazier than usual, a little more deranged and much more but to be frank she couldn't care. She passed the twins and Lee, along with Angelina, Katie, Alicia and Wood who also looked at her as if she had an extra head but chose not to question anything. She found the boy in the end, with Victor and Millard sitting near one of the greenhouses. "E-Enoch." She coughed. "We need to talk. Alone."

Victor and Millard stood up and the latter said, "We have herbology first so we will not be far." They both sent her a slight smile and allowed her to take a seat beside the grumpy boy.

"What is it?"He demanded not looking at her.

"I just want to know why you like me in the way that you do? And to apologise for coming off as rude earlier I didn't mean for it to have done."

Enoch pressed his index and middle fingers to his temples. "It's okay. I guess it's because you are gorgeous, your eyes are so entrancing and you have a cute smile."

Belle blushed but nodded at the same time, "And what did you like about Guinevere?"

Enoch's head shot up, "What?"

"Just answer me."

"I like her looks, her smile and eyes." He mumbled. "What does it mean to you though?"

Belle smiled and pulled the boy into a hug, "Enoch you aren't over Guinevere, are you?"

He shook his head, "Not entirely, it's not great when at the time I wasn't ageing. I was stuck as a sixteen-year-old and then she left, had a baby, who eventually had a son too. She's dead now." Belle had to admit it sounded weird as she didn't really understand the whole 'loop' thing which was now non-existent anymore and it did make her feel uncomfortable to think that the boy that kissed her is in love with her dead great-grandmother. But then again, Emma is in love with her ex-lover's grandson aka, Jake.

"Enoch, do you see what I am trying to say?" The boy shook his head again. "Enoch you aren't in love with me, nor do you like me in that way. You like the same things about me that you liked about my great-grandmother, what you see in me, you are actually seeing what I have inherited from my dad's side of the family. And it sounds weird but it's true."

Enoch stared up at her. He took in her appearance, her smile, her eyes and realised that Belle was right. He needed to be sure, however, so he leaned forward and kissed her once more. He pulled away and he was sure, he didn't like Belle in the way he thought. "I'm sorry." He said and pulled her into a hug once more. "It feels peculiar when you said it out loud but it helped me realise what I should have realised beforehand. I hope this doesn't affect our friendship because I would like you to continue with what we have. To try and be the brother you don't have and you the sister I don't have."

"Don't be silly Enoch, of course, we can. What do siblings do?" Belle grinned.

"I don't have a bloody clue, but I have heard of many brothers teasing their sisters about their crushes, Victor does it all the time to Bronwyn," Enoch smirked.

"Crush? Who would I have a crush on?" Belle asked.

Enoch chuckled, "Oh please it is so obvious that you like one of those twins!"

"I do not!"

"Mmm, sure."

After explaining to her father and Madison everything that happened between Enoch and her, Belle finally felt a weight off of her shoulders. "So, that kid, who was stuck in a loop for like seventy years, was in love and still is with Remus' dead nan?" Madison cringed.

"Please do not ever mention that again!" Both Belle and Remus exclaimed throwing rolled up bits of paper at the woman who shrieked.

Madison laughed, and finally felt as if her life was returning back to normal, she hadn't laughed properly in years, truth be told nor had Remus, without his best friends the need to laugh felt foreign. Yes, not all of them were there anymore, but they knew four of them were still in their hearts-Peter, Marlene, James and Lily.

Or so they thought.

The door swung open and in sashayed Snape his cloak flowing behind him like he was a model struting down a catwalk, such as shame no one would want to buy his clothes that are covered in his hair grease. He scowled at both adults and turned his nose up at Belle before throwing a vial at Remus. "Thank you, Sn-Severus." Remus nodded causing Madison to snigger. Snape rolled his eyes not saying a word before swinging around dramatically and exiting the room. Madison flipped her middle finger at the other teacher who made Belle's curiosity levels rise.

She turned to her father, "One what is in that vial, two what were you going to call him, and three why did you, Miss Parker, flip the birdie at him, not that I care so much, I mean I have wanted too it several times, but I want your explanation."

"I'll answer first." Madison said, "First of all, when not in lessons, you can call me Madison or Maddie. Two, I did it because I cannot stand him, never have even at school."

Belle nodded and turned to her father, "I was going to call him Snivellus, and old school nickname, that I don't want you repeating for your own good, he'll probably try and get you expelled if you did. I do not like him either, and this is just a concoction to help my immune system."

The girl rolled her eyes, "Excuse my French, but that is bull-to-the shit. Tell me the real reason."

"Its best if I don't." Remus panicked.

"Dad, please. I couldn't care if it's because you are vampire, or have some sort of disease, Merlin's beard, you could be a werewolf for all I know and that is wolfsbane! It could even be a hair dying pot- WAIT IS THAT WOLFSBANE?!"Belle exclaimed as her eyes bulged out of her head at the sight of her fathers face when she mentioned being a werewolf. "Y-you're a werewolf?"

Madison placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, "Belle, he won't harm you. Remus folds his socks, he's harmless unless it's a full moon which he will never get to you on. He is nowhere near a monster."

"I wasn't thinking any of that." Belle replied, "I'm just shocked, I have always liked wolves."

"So you don't think anything bad about it?"

"No, I think it's pretty cool, I mean it's not great but still better having a dad who is a werewolf than a boring mundane human."

Madison snorted,"You're daughter is amazing."

"I know." Remus smiled proudly.
