Rare Gem (G. Weasley)

Potter

Valentine's POV

The morning after the professors assured us the castle was once again secured, we were able to head back to the dorms.
"Why are you smiling so early in the morning?" Draco questioned, wrinkling his nose.
"Becauseee I'm in a really good mood"
He rolled his eyes nodding.

"Valentine, Draco you're needed in the headmaster's tower"
Professor McGonagall directed at the both of us.
She told us the password and left.
Why would Dumbledore be needing us?
We walked to the the other side of the Castle, up the stairs leading to the tower.
Soon as I entered I felt someone hug me, I smiled staring up at Aunt Narcissa. I inhaled her cinnamon scent feeling familiarity wash over me.
She went on to hug Draco and pull his cheeks, I giggled quietly.

Lucius came and put a hand on my shoulder and one on Draco's.
"I have a responsibility towards both of these children, so tell me Dumbledore what kind of headmaster allows their students to be threatened by that beast?" He asked angrily. That's why he's here, for Draco's incident.

"Yes Lucius we will have a meeting about it tomorrow, for now you can spend some time with the students" Dumbledore gestured towards us.

Lucius nodded walking out with Narcissa hand in hand, Draco and I trailing behind.
We sat in the courtyard talking.
Everyone was staring at us and I have no doubt that news would reach to George soon enough.
"So Valentine how's your stay so far?"
I smiled and went on to tell aunt Narcissa all about the classes and how I've managed to be doing well, while Draco and Uncle Lucius engaged in small talk as well.
"Aunt Narcissa can I talk to you in private?" Now is the right opportunity to ask her about my parents.

She nodded and we walked to a corridor with no lingering ears.
"You knew my parents right? So you knew if they were deatheaters or not?" I asked getting straight to the point.

"I think that's a question reserved to the person that raised you" Aunt Narcissa said looking everywhere but me.

I nodded. I will ask her soon.
"Now let's get back to the boys shall we, Merlin knows what they're up to" she laughed. I smiled nodding.
When we reached the bench where Uncle Lucius and Draco sat, they were now standing.
"Narcissa, we have to go now. But it was a pleasure seeing you as always Valentine. And remember we're always here whenever you need us"
I smiled at him. And people ask why I'm close with the Malfoy family, they treat me like their family.
"Actually I do have a favour to ask..." I trailed off.
"Yes? What is it?" Uncle lucius asked.
"I totally forgot to ask my aunt bit j have to get my permission slip to go on a trip to Hogsmeade, could you possibly sign it?" I said hopefully, pulling out the piece of paper from NY pocket.
"Very well" Uncle Lucius said then signed. J Smiled brightly Up At him.

We walked them to the entrance of Hogwarts, Lucius hand in mine this time. He was telling me how I must come for Christmas.
Then he bumped into Harry.
"Watch where you're going Potter"
He nasally snarled at him.

Harry glared at him,then at me? What did I do? I said my goodbyes to Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius then returned inside with Draco.

"Hey I've got to talk with Professor Sprout about my supposed dropping grades, I'll see you later?"
I nodded at Draco and continued walking straight ahead. I wanted to see George.
But as I walked I noticed people whispering, mostly Gryffindor members.
I rolled my eyes. "Traitor" someone shouted when I rounded the corner.

Traitor? For what?
A hand coiled around my wrist stopping me.
"I'm-m not afraid of you, you're a traitor, a disgrace to the wizard world" a small first year stated.
I opened my mouth to tell him off, when another hand came and ripped the first year's hand off mine.
"Do not touch her" George said angrily.
"And she's not a traitor, you don't know anything so why don't your run along to your friends before I hex you" George continued. The first year ran off making me smile up at him.

"Thank you, but I could've handled that myself"
"I know" he shrugged.
"So why were the Malfoy family really here for?"
"They came for Draco's incident with the hippogryff"

He grabbed my hand walking in tune with me. I smiled as Fred and lee walked up to us , the four of us walked to the Black lake and sat under a tree.

My hand was engulfed in George's firey red hair, his head on my lap.
"Georgie isn't their something you'd like to ask Val?" Fred winked at me.
He got up and sat besides me.

"Uhm I was wondering if you weren't busy for Christmas this year? Maybe you'd like to spend Christmas with me and my family? Or if it's too much of a bother that's okay. I mean you must already have pla-" George rambled on.

I giggled and pressed my lips to him. Effectively shutting him up.
"Of course I'll come with you silly"

"Yess we're going to have so much fun pranking people" Fred fist pumped in the air.
I laughed shaking my head.

"We can go to Hogsmeade first. There's the annual trip there" Lee said looking up from a book.
"Hogsmeade?" I asked questionably.

"Yea that'll be fun" I grinned at all three of them.

We talked and laughed for the rest of the afternoon. They're quite fun actually. And they weren't prejudice against me being a slytherin which is just amazing.

"George you know you don't have to walk me all the way down to my common room" I smiled at him.

He shrugged. "I want to"

I grew quite thinking about Molly Weasley. Am I just going to show up in someone's house that hates me?
I don't want to hurt George's feeling but I'm worried that she won't want me around for long. Percy and Ron has no issue giving their opinion of me.

"Hey you're unusually quiet" George nudged me.
I faked smiled and shook my head.
"Nothing to worry about, besides we're already here" I gestured to the door we were now walking to.

George wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into him. "This conversation is not over" he hugged me tightly kissing my forehead.
I looked down at the floor.
"Ok I'll see you later handsome" I pressed my lips against his cheek walking away.

Entering the common room I realized something, being with George made me more confident. Which I didn't mind at all.

"Val help me with Potions homework please? It's killing me" Draco said dramatically flopping on the couch.

"I'm coming" I giggled at his antics.

^^^^^^^^^^
I walked down the corridor with determination. Why was Harry avoiding me? Every since that day with the Malfoy's he's been avoiding me since. Whether suddenly 'being busy' when I walk in the library and just blatantly ignoring me when I ask him a question or even say Hi.

"Harry Potter" I said walking up to the trio.
"Yes?" He responded instinctively.
He opened his mouth probably to escape me yet again with another excuse but I beat him to it.
"Don't you dare use another excuse, come with me now" I turned and started walking to the Black lake. There was privacy there and I'm not to sure I'd want anyone to hear this conversation.

"Now tell me why the bloody hell are you avoiding?" I flipped my straight dark hair over my shoulder, glaring at him.

"I haven't been avoiding you Val" he said looking anywhere but at me.

"You liar, tell me Potter, is it because of my family, is it because of George? Are you one of the other morons who think we shouldn't be together. A bunch of codswallop I tell you"
I asked angrily, not even realizing I called the Malfoy's my family.

Once again he opened his mouth to say something but I'd about had enough of them.
"I thought we were friends Harry, I really did. But I guess that's just another meaningless word for you"
I said in a softer tone this time.

"You know what this was stupid. What am I even doing? Go back to ignoring me Harry" I rolled my eyes walking away from him.

"Ron fancies you"
