CHAPTER ONE,
Heartbreak.
"RORY CAN I BORROW YOUR POTIONS BOOK? I have an essay due tomorrow but I can't find mine." Lily, Auroras roommate, asked from her side of the room.Aurora opened her eyes and sat up in bed, the blanket falling off of her in the process causing her to shiver slightly at the cold air hitting her skin. Fred's oversized jumper did little to protect her from the cold.
"Yea sure." She said as she made her way towards the chair, only to see her book wasn't there. "I think I left it in Fred's dorm earlier, I'll go get it."
"Are you sure? It's after hours, I don't want you getting in trouble." Lily said with concern in her tone. Rory sometimes wondered how the girl didn't get placed in Hufflepuff with her kind nature.
"No it's fine, I'll be back in a minute." Rory smiled before making her way down to the common room, she wanted to check there first so she wouldn't have to wake Fred or any of the other boys up for no reason.
Surprise washed over as she noticed Lee and George sitting in the common room having a hushed conversation. It was eleven at night, why were they up?
"What are you two up to?" She asked as she walked over to them.
George's eyes grew wide in alarm as he noticed who was speaking to him.
"Hey Rory, what are you doing up?" George asked as he shared an alarmed look with Lee.
"Just looking for my book, which is apparently isn't here." She sighed as she looked around for it. "It must be in your dorm, I'll go get it."
"Wait!" George said as he jumped up quickly causing her to stop on the stairs and raise her eyebrows at him. "I'll get it, you stay here!"
"I'm fine." She said as she made her way up the stairs.
George looked at Lee who stared at him with wide eyes.
"Why did you let her go?!" Lee whisper shouted.
"I didn't know what to do!" George said in the same tone. Both boys then turned to look at the steps, not looking forward to what was about to happen.
As she grew closer to Fred's dorm Rory heard moans and her eyebrows furrowed in concern, was he having a nightmare? She wondered to herself.
Placing her hand on the door she slowly pushed it open, not ready for what she was about to walk into.
The feeling of heartbreak was something Aurora Gray was not used to. Yes it hurt when her father left, yes it hurt when her grandmother died a few years ago. But nothing could measure to the amount of pain she felt when she realized what she had just walked in on.
Fred Weasley, the boy who she was convinced she was going to marry one day, in bed with Angelina Johnson, her best friend since first year.
She just stood there, her mouth hanging open and her heart breaking with each second that passed. It felt as if she was hit with a bludger and gotten the wind knocked out of her. She wanted to breath, to scream, to do anything. She just wanted them to stop, but it seemed as if they didn't notice the extra person in the room.
His face showed pure bliss, maybe that's what hurt her the most. The fact that he was slowly breaking her and he didn't seem to care. He never loved her, their whole relationship had been a lie and he just proved it.
"Fred." Her broken voice sounded throughout the room.
The ginger boys eyes grew wide as he realized who exactly had called his name, and it definitely wasn't the girl under him. He jumped up and grabbed his clothes from the floor, starting to hurriedly throw them on as Angelia covered herself up with his sheet.
"Darling I can explain." He said as he started to walk closer to her, his eyes starting to water as she stumbled back away from him.
"Don't." She squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed the sob that was about to come out. "Just don't."
"Rory I swear it's not what it looks like." Angelia said as she sat up in bed, sharing an alarmed look with Fred as she did so.
What had they done?
"Not what it- I'm not stupid Angelia!" Rory yelled as she finally let out a sob, the pain in her chest becoming to much. "I gotta go."
Rory turned around getting ready to run when Fred called her back.
"Rory! Darling please, it was a mistake." His voice broke as he watched her cry. He did that. He made his Rory cry and that broke him.
"I don't care Fred. You can't come back from this. We're done." Rory said slowly as she turned back around to look into his eyes as she said the last sentence.
Fred's eyes widened at her words. He got ready to deny her statement but she cut him off by taking off his jersey and throwing it at him.
"Don't." She said again before leaving him standing in shock.
She ran down the stairs, tears streaming down her face and her heart cracking even more with every step she took.
"Rory-" George started as he noticed her expression.
Aurora turned to look at him and Lee with disbelief in her eyes.
"You two knew, didn't you?" She asked, pain present in her voice as she internally prayed they didn't know.
They stayed silent and that told her everything she needed to know.
"Wow." She chuckled darkly. If her heart wasn't broken before, it definitely was now.
"Rory we can explain-" Lee started with a panic on his voice before she cut him off.
"How long?" She asked as she stared into the fire.
"What?" George asked in confusion.
"How long has this been going on?" She asked sternly.
They both stayed silent for a moment before Lee finally answered.
"Four months."
Rory shut her eyes tightly, more sobs building up in her throat as she tried to swallow them down.
It all made sense now. Fred being to busy to hang out, him skipping breakfast and sometimes even dinner. The whole time he was with Angelia.
"I gotta get out of here." Rory sobbed as she barged out of the common room, Ignoring the yells for her as she ran.
She didn't care if it was after curfew, she didn't care about the rules telling them not to exit the castle at night. She had to get out of there. The pain was to much, her whole chest hurt and she felt as if she couldn't breathe anymore.
She ran, and ran, and then ran some more until she reached her destination, the one place where she would be able to breath and hopefully calm down.
The quidditch pitch.
