One Wolf Changes So Many Lives - Book 2/10

Chapter 29 - Running Wolf

Sabrina's POV

I sit back down next to George on the sofa in the common room, giving him another answer for his Potions homework: 'Essay on Flobberworm Mucus and it's Uses in Potions'. I find myself getting lost in thought again about what Price said to me back in March. About going to see that Crazy man who owns the Hog's Head. I haven't had any more lessons with Price, as she has gotten ill again – I hope she's gonna be ok. She is the only connection I have with my mother, as least the only connection that will talk about it with me anyways.

My Dad, Andrew and Chris get all funny whenever I ask about her. But Price seems willing to talk, and the fact that she also knew my Great-Great Grandmother as well, means that Price must know more about the rest of my mother's family as well – Who knows – I might have some distant cousin I don't know about or something!

"Hello? Sabrina?"

"Huh? Oh sorry Georgie. I've been thinking about what Price told me about my mother again. I know I'm just being silly. Are you stuck with the homework?" I ask quickly trying to change the subject, and grabbing the text book from his lap.

"It's not silly. She told you she knew your mum and your Great-Great Grandmother! And then she went off sick again, so you can't find out anymore about them! Anyone would be freaking out by it all" George says wrapping his arm around my shoulders, sending a wave of shivers down my spine, making me suddenly feel very aware of how I'm sitting next to him – I'm crossed legged on the sofa! Why am I crossed legged I must look so thick right now!

"What else is going on? You don't cage up this much. What else is rolling inside that pretty little head of yours?" he asks – He thinks I have a pretty head? As I put my feet on the floor trying to make myself look less stupid, I watch him raise an eyebrow at me waiting for my answer. I take a deep breath...

"I......I....I've been thinking about going back to the Hog's Head" I say quickly without taking a breath. George just looks at me shocked, dropping his arm from around my shoulders and opening his mouth in shock. Before he is able to say anything though, another voice speaks.

"Ah there you are! I've been looking for you everywhere"

I look round quickly to see Oliver coming over, and sitting on the arm of the chair next to me, placing his arm over one of shoulders – Why do I only get shivers when George holds me? I don't get shivers when Oliver holds me.

"Thanks for looking after her for me" Oliver says smiling at George "I keep thinking that if no one is watching her for me, she might fall down a flight of stairs and break her leg or something" he says half laughing – Aww he worries about me "I mean we can't have her hurt right before a match can we?" he says laughing again – and we're back to Quidditch.

"Hello Oliver!" a giggling voice calls from the portrait. I look over to see a tall black haired girl, standing in front of her two blonde headed friends.

"Hi Anna. I'm on my way" Oliver calls back, before turning back to me "Gotta get off to the Astronomy tower for my next class" he finishes smiling down at me.

I lift my chin up in hopes for a kiss on the lips goodbye, to which he laughs at and plants a kiss on my forehead, before leaving with Anna and her friends.

I breath loudly through my nose – I'm getting a little tired of being seen as a child one minuet, and then a prized trophy the next – Why can't he just like me for being a girl saying I look pretty and stuff? Or better yet like me for me, like he used to?

"Trouble in paradise?" Fred calls, hopping down the last of the steps from the dormitories, with Lee close on his heels. I stay silent.

"Seems more like a hurricane to me" Lee jokes, making me glare at him "Sorry" he replies holding up his hands.
