They say that soulmates have this connection that only you and them have, that you can hear their thoughts and talk to them in a way. They hear the songs you sing and share the dreams you create. I never believed in this connection until one day I heard his voice, ever so softly in my mind, like a whisper, like the wind caressing my ear. It was one simple hello and I was taken with him, his accent, the sound of his voice and the gentleness in every word he says . We talk all the time now unless we're in school obviously. We both live in our schools, we basically go to a boarding school and are there September through May and obviously go home during holidays well he goes home from what I gather. I on the other hand stay at school. My parents died when I was little and I was taken in by a professor at my school who was close friends with my parents. Shes sweet and takes great care of me, she even showed me how to ride my first broom and cast my first spell. Oh I'm a witch and I go to the finest school of Witch craft and Wizardry, Hogwarts. Now I obviously can't tell my soulmate about this because that would risk the exposure of our world to the muggles and that is something we definitely don't want.
I'm a 5th year huffelpuff and I excel at charms class though I'm doing well in my other classes seeing as Minerva took me in I kind of have to be or else she would have me stuck in my dorm studying for hours just to make passing marks but luckily she has never had to worry about me not doing well. I run up to my best friends George and Fred, their back is turn and I pounce on them making them jump.
"Bloody hell Skylar you gave us a fright." Fred says. As I clutch my stomach laughing practically doubling over.
" I reckon that requires payback don't you Freddie?" I look up instantly knowing exactly what was going through their mind. I've been friends with them for years, I knew that look.
" I do believe your right George." They each smile.
"Now boys lets not overreact here I was just messing around.....Pleassseeeeee??" I give them the best puppy dog eyes I could muster up but it was too late.
Fred grabbed my arms as George came in and started tickling up my sides, I burst into laughter begging them to have mercy.
"George please, I'm gonna die if you keep going!" I scream between the laughter coming from my mouth. The assault stops finally and they are now the ones grabbing their stomachs laughing. "You two are the worst!" I say swatting at their arms.
" But you love us!" Freddie says putting his arm around me. I look over at George to see the slightest flicker of jealousy in his face quickly masked over by a smile as he mimics his brothers movements. "Exactly you cant get enough of us." He says.
"Fine Fine your right, what would I do without my two pranksters." I lean up and kiss both their cheeks something I have done since year one. Except this time felt different with George, i wanted to linger longer on his cheek, a shock running through my body when my lips made contact.
Pulling away I looked up at him, his cheeks red and eyes darting quickly away from mine. I pull away from them say my goodbyes and walk to my dorm, as I got older Minerva made sure I got my own private dorm to help with my studies. I walk through the door and plop down on my bed looking up to the ceiling. George...I've always fancied him but he never saw me as anymore than a little sister even though I was only a year younger but whenever he would introduce me to his friends it would be "Oi this is Skylar practically my little sister" and then laugh about it, and for a while I only saw him as a big brother figure until our 3rd year I was knocked off my broom during a quidditch game. He rushed to me and brought me to the medical wing, never leaving my side unless madam pompfre made him. I started seeing him in a different light then. From then on things that were so normal before became strange to me, giving me butterflies when he would hug me and kiss the top of my head or when we used to cuddle by the fireplace in my dorm with everyone it was so innocent up until then.
There are moments where I think he might feel the same but he just goes on about his soulmate, The connection they have and how much they get along. I wonder if he knows, knows that I am the one hes talking to, does he know that I am his soulmate.....I knew the moment he said hello, I knew that voice anywhere and I've considered telling him but I'm scared what if its not my voice he hears? I've heard that you could have a soulmate but they have someone else. Are we better off staying friends? Is he better off not knowing who it is? We said we wouldn't tell each other our names to make it more exciting but I can't help but wonder. I shake my head and decide to do some homework for the time being trying to get him out of my mind.
Georges POV
I tickled up her sides as she was squirming and laughing. She was always so joyful and full of life. I've always seen her as a little sister until lately, her 3rd year she was knocked off her broom and my heart stopped and I took care of her and slowly started to gain some feelings, her 4th year I watched her come down the staircase in her dress for the yull ball and I knew then how much more than a friend I liked her as my heart panged with jealousy as she took Malfoys arm to dance. They were friends and nothing more but still, I wanted to be the one to dance with her. I knew then, but then all of a sudden I could hear my soulmate as clear as day I was amazed and shocked because instantly I knew who it was. Skylars voice would ring through my ears even when she wasn't with me and her laugh which I would know anywhere. I told her we wouldn't tell each other our names because I didn't want to scare her off I knew she saw me as a brother and I knew she didn't really give much Merritt to this whole soulmate thing. But I am undeniably in love with my best friend.
I lay down debating if I should contact her going through the pros and cons of it. I decide I am still her best friend and I start to head to her dorm, how lucky to have a private dorm but then again thats the perks of having a professor as your guardian. I quietly knock on her door to let her know I'm coming in, she doesn't answer. I quietly open her door to find her asleep at her desk, I chuckle at the sight scooping her into my arms and taking her to her bed. Laying her down gently so I don't wake her, I go to pull away and pull her covers up when she grabs the sleeve of my jumper.
"Don't go, please. stay." She whispers out.
I crawl into bed with her something we have done for years but still I couldn't help but feel slightly nervous about it, my heart slightly racing as she cuddles up to me putting her head on my chest. I put my arm around her and play with her hair knowing it helps her sleep. I kiss the top of her head lingering for a moment embracing the scent of her shampoo, she always smells of orchids and roses. I rest my head on the pillow knowing I'll be here most the night so I get comfortable.
" I love you, goodnight soulmate." I whisper to her before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
