Never Is Our Always

"I think you have an admirer" 4

(Minnie pov) (few days later)

Today I had a free day to study, it made my life easier and a living hell at the same time. I ran up the boys dormitory stairs and banged on Fred, George and Lee's dorm door.

"Decent?!" I shout.

"Yes!" They all shout as I open the door and then let myself in. I close it behind me, walking towards Lee and then bent down and opened his trunk.

"Hello to you too," Lee said sarcastically, watching over my shoulder. I used his knee as support as I fished out his blue hoodie and then pulled my wand out.

"Scourgify." I say and his trunk organised itself. "Thanks, Lee." I smile as I pulled the hoodie on. I hiss in pain slightly, but managed to put my cast through the sleeve.

"You all right?" Lee asks.

"Oh yes," I reply, "I'm going for a run," I told him, rolling the sleeve up and past my cast. I drag my wand over it and the cast split.

"What are you doing?" George asks, jumping up from his bed.

"It needs air, where's the bathroom?" They all point and I nod, I left them in the room and ducked into the bathroom.

-

"Bye, see you soon," I told the boys, leaving their dorm, my arm had a new cast after I washed it carefully but thoroughly.

I plugged earphones into my ears and then into the MP3 player I brought from the muggle store. It's the best thing I've ever brought.

-

"Miss Jordan?" I turn around to see Professor Dumbledore himself, he smiles kindly at me as I pulled my earphone out.

"Hello and good morning, sir," I bow my head slightly.

"Thank you. Where are you off too?" He asks.

"I have a free day, I thought I would go for a run before studying all day in the library," I answer honestly.

"In your condition?" Dumbledore eyes my bandaged leg, I look down at it as he looks at my cast.

"Erm... yeah, pain doesn't stop me, never has, never will, sir."

"Has madam Pomfrey had a look?" I nod my head.

"She told me that it'll be fine in a few days, she's been putting ointments on my leg." He hums at my answer.

"How's living with your cousin?"

"Brilliant," I answer with a smile, "I feel at home."

"Good," he answers, "go on. Go for your run." He shoos with a smile.

"Thank you, sir," he chuckles as I put my earphones back in and press play as I jogged off away from Dumbledore.

-

I peeled the hoodie off my body carefully as I entered the castle with a pant, I felt buzzed from my run as I slowed into a walk.

My leg throbbed in pain and I hiss slightly, "damn leg," I huff, placing my hand on top of the bandage. I sat down on one of the benches and breathed slowly in and out.

"Vhat is the matter?" I hear, I look up and smile at the Durmstrang student.

"Just an injured leg, sir," I reply and he furrowed his eyebrows at me, I look back up to see Viktor Krum. "Oh, I'm sorry, hello." I held my hand out, "I'm Alice Jordan." He takes it and then flipped it before kissing my knuckles.

"Viktor Krum, pleasure, красив," heat rose to my cheeks as he then helped me stand to my feet.

"You called me beautiful?" I ask and he grins, letting my hand go.
