Beloved - F. Weasley

38.

{.38. The Slug Club}

Carina Bella Zabini was not looking forward to being back at Hogwarts. The only thing that could happen this year to make last year look even a slither of an amount better would be if a Troll became headmaster and destroyed the school. Carina just didn't want to go back, the more she thought about it the more she felt like she wanted to drop out.

Luckily for her she knew which electives she was taking. As she'd done pretty decently in all her subjects except Herbology she was just going to continue with them all. Making her do eight NEWTs which was probably a lot but she didn't care. She wanted to challenge herself. Prove that just because she had dyslexia it doesn't mean that she couldn't do well.

Kian Phillips was dropping the two off at the platform for what would be his final time. It was his last September first drop off and he was extremely emotional, but so was Orion and Carina.

After this year Carina wouldn't have Orion anymore, she knew it was only one year but he was her rock. How was she meant to do a year at Hogwarts without him?

Kian frowned and pulled out his camera.

"One picture, just to commemorate this because I'm going to have to come with Carina next year for good measure if you don't let me do this," Kian warned and Orion rolled his eyes

He threw his arm around carina and she placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled to the camera. She was aware they probably looked crazy but Orion had always said Kian was extremely sentimental, he even took a picture on Orion's first day at Hogwarts.

Carina thought it was endearing that his dad wanted to remember things like this though, she wished that she still had her dad for this.

Carina felt hands snake around her waist and a kiss pressed to her neck. She turned around and wrapped her arms around Fred tightly.

"I missed you amore," she whispered

"I missed you too my love," he said pressing a kiss to her forehead

George was engrossed in a conversation with Kian and Orion so Carina quickly gave Fred a proper kiss, one she knew they had both been craving.

"Have you seen your mum?" He asked and Carina shook her head

"It's still early for her, she'll apparate within a few minutes now," she explained

She wrapped her arms tightly around Fred, revelling in the moment. She would miss him dearly. She didn't realise how much she liked his touch and his affection until she didn't get it for a while. She loved Fred Weasley's presence. While he was the most chaotic person Carina knew the smell of vanilla and gunpowder almost calmed her. It was like when Carina could smell the citrus from when she would embrace Blaise or how calm she felt when she smelt Orion's lavender washing powder.
