Learning to Fly (Sequel to Clipped Wings George Weasley love story)

Chapter 16 ~ Back to School

*Phoenix's POV*

I seriously, can not be fucking asked to get up.

I don't wan't to go back to school, knowing that neither Fred or George'll ge there.

I know I need to be more independant but it's harder than you think.

''Come on Dragon, get up, we leave in 15 minuets, that does not mean you roll over and go to sleep for another 14 minuets''

I just groan into my pillow, trying to fall back asleep.

''Don't growl at me Dragon, get up, don't make me drag you out that bed because I will''

Ha! I'd like to see you try it.

''Challenge Accepted"

Shit, run, he's actually going to drag me out of bed.

''Okay! Okay! I'm up! I'm up!''

I say, sitting up sharply and holding my hands out in defence.

''Do not go back to sleep or I will not hessitate to drag you out of that bed next time''

''Yes boss''

I say giving him a salut as he walks out the room.

I've got 10 minuets left, best have the quickest shower in the history of quick showers.

I grab my towel from the end of the bed and make my way to the bathroom, someone's already in the shower.

It's only Jinx, I knock on the door and walk in, joining her in the shower, just as she gets out I get in and have like a 2 minuet shower.

After my shower I gather up my cloths and chuck them in the washing basket in George's room and quickly get dressed. Not bothering with make up or even doing anything with my hair, just dry it a chuck it up on a high messy bun.

''Phoenix you ready yet?''

George asks me upon entering the room. I've just finished shoving the last few things into my suit case before lugging it down the stairs and out the front door, Where all four of us apperate to King's Cross.

As we approach platform 9 3/4, I feel George's hand entwine with mine and pull me back gently, allowing Fred and Jinx to walk on ahead.

I look at George, he has a sence of a guilty look upon his face.

''Are you gonna be alright?''

He asks me as if I was a fragile little child, flying the nest, leaving for the big bad world.

''Yeah, I'll be fine, I've still got Jinx, Iris, Rhys, Lee and Angelina to stick by my side. Don't worry I'll be fine''

I say in a soft whisper, trying to reasure George I can survive on my own. Sometimes.

''I am really sorry, It's just me and Fred just couldn't stand Umbridge anymore, and our shop would be up and running any day, so we had to leave..''

''It's fine, I understand. I would never ask you to stay with me at school and let Fred fend for himself anyway, that's just selfish. You two do everything together anyway, I don't wan't to be the one to stand between you two''

I smile softly up at George. Either I've shrunk a few inches or he's got taller, couse there's a massive hight difference now. I think I'm just a miggit. Compared to him and Fred anyway.

We both lean in slowly, not taking our eye's off eachother, until we're rudely interrupted by the whistle of the train.

''Come on love birds, time to fly the nest''

Fred says with a fermillier cheesy grin on his face.

I turn back to look at George, and this time quickly close the gap between us.

We pull away slowly, both not wanting the moment to end, we each say our last goodbye's before me and Jinx head of towards the train and meet with everyone else.

***

''...Welcome, everyone, to another year at Hogwarts. I would like to introduce a new member of staff, Proffesor Slughorn will be taking over as Potions Master. And our new Defence against the Dark arts teacher...''

You say what now? Snape, DADA Teacher, yeah thats gonna end well.

''Oh dear lord no''

I hear Iris whisper from beside me. It feels weird not having Fred and George around. I'm not the only one who has noticed it, Angelina and Jinx miss them too.

Even Iris and Rhys started to like them both and now its like there's a massive gap in the group.

''I wonder what surprises this year holds then eey?''

We all nod in reply to Lee's remark.

''Hey Phoenix, why don't you try out for the Quidditch team this year, practice is this evening? why not give it a try, try out for a beater, give Fred and George a run for their money''

Sounds cool, Angelina suggests this to Jinx aswell. We're both pretty good, learnt from the best I spose.

''Yeah why not, tell Harry we'll be along this evening''

I say to Angelina as her and Lee leave the Great Hall and head back to the common room.

Me, Jinx, Iris and Rhys soon follow on behind them. Just as I walk round the corner I feel someone take my hand and visiously pull be behind one of the tapastrys.

I come face to face with a Slytherin by the name of Goile.

''Do you mind getting your fithy hands off me you freak!''

I protest trying to pull my hand from his grip, but he tightens his hand around my wrist.

''I hear lover boy has dissapered eey, that means you got no one to love here at school. What if I was to start a rumour that you and me had a, lets say, special night together and word got out to your little Weasle, how would you like that?''

I think I may have killed him in a million and one ways in my mind already, If he didn't have hold of my wrist I would have decked him so hard he would be six feet under the surface of the earth.

''What do you want from me?''

I say in a deadly whisper through gritted teeth as my blood boils to my brain.

He gives me an evil smirk, looking me up and down, tilting his head to the side in a curious way.

''I wan't you to go on a date with me, come back to my house, meet my parents, maybe spend the night in my room, alone...''

I free my wrist from his grip and lamp him straight in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.

I lean over him and stare him down as if he were nothing.

''I will never go on a date with you, you can tell anyone and everyone you wan't that we had a special night, you can even tell George directly if you really feel like it, because no one will believe you. You're a worthless Slythrin, no one will think that I got with a low life like you when I'm with someone like George.''

I walk away, like the boss. With my back turned I hear Goile curse me to obllivian as I walk away proudly, knowing no one would believe him no matter when he says.

Or I hope no one will anyway, even if he did say something, I hope no one does believe him.

Slyherin's are cunning, and will go to any means to get their way.
