George's Kindness

CHAPTER 8

Two days passed, Anna avoided George and her father Remus because she didn't want to talk to them, she didn't know how to explain to her father why was her Boggart like that, and with George, she realized that things wouldn't work out between them because he didn't do anything with Angelina, she didn't even talk to her friends, she just walked in the hallways alone and helpless, she wasn't that happy girl like before.

Anna sat on the floor of the hallway with a potions book in her hand, reading quietly and studying. She felt someone standing beside her, she didn't look up she just said, "I don't want to talk about it."

"What are you talking about? Get up from the floor moron, you'll catch a cold," It was Draco's voice, cheeky and harsh as always, though he didn't mean to say it in that way but still sounded rude.

She closed the book, looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Are you okay?" Her face was confused.

"Why do you ask?" He looked around and saw that no one was there, "Get up loser, before someone sees us," He held out his hand. She grabbed his arm then he pulled her to stood up but did it abruptly so their faces happened to be too close.

They looked at each other for a few seconds then moved reflexively and looked away.

"I heard some stories around, about your Boggart," He spun the ring on his finger and tapped his foot of the floor, fast.

Anna leaned the book against her body with her hands, moved her hair from face and asked him, "Do you think I don't know already?," She laughed sarcastically and looked at the ring on his hand.

"I don't care what they say about you, I don't care about you either! But it's rubbish to talk about it, I mean, everyone would feel humiliated in your place!" Draco said, he sounded ridiculous when he spoke insolently, no one could take him seriously.

"Then why did you come? To make fun of me? Anna sighed and started to take a step away but he stopped her by grabbing her shoulder.

She looked at his ocean blue eyes, the tips of his hair covered them, "Don't be childish," He whispered roughly and moved his hand. "I will be specific with you, but if it stays between us?"

She nodded and said, " I can keep secrets well," She shrugged.

He looked around again with raised eyebrows and approached her, he put his head to her ear and whispered, "You have to talk to your father, you don't know what it's like to have a strict father you can't even talk to, yours is at least understandable," His tone of voice changed, he sounded gentle.

When he said that, her heart was pounding less than before, she tilted her head back and looked at him in the eyes, his face was different, sadder in a way.

She said softly, "I will," And hugged him tightly around the neck as he slowly put his arms around her waist and in a second he melted in her hug, he needed this strong tight hug.

Draco just kept quiet and held her tight, she slowly lowered her hands, stepped back and looked at him once more, "Thank you, you're not bad after all," She smiled and pinched his cheek, she said goodbye to him and headed to her father's office.

Draco stood and blushed, he licked his lower lip and smiled the whole time until Goyle came and ruined his moment, "Malfoy, are you okay?" He giggled.

Draco winced, looked him sharply in the eyes, his face changed incredibly into a cheeky face and frowned.

"What the fuck do you want? Aren't you with Crabbe?" he approached Goyle and grabbed his uniform. "Let's go fool!" His voice was raised again, he pulled Goyle who giggled at him and they went to Slytherin common room.
