Heir of His Heart

Chapter 8

After Hagrid dropped me back at Hogwarts he helped me get all my stuff up to my common room  I was now sitting in the common room with my books on the table and my wand in a box next to me and Athena was already sleeping.

"Oh wicked you got all your school stuff" George said, flipping through one of my books. He looked over to my wand and asekd "Can I check it out?" I smiled and handed him the box. He held the wand in his hand gently. I turned my head watching him admire the wand.

"It's gorgeous" he said,  putting it back in the box and handing it to me.

"Almost as gorgeous as the owner" he winked, I could already tell my whole face was pink. I turned back around quickly and sat down placing the box on my lap.

"Do you need some assistance taking it up to your room?" he asked walking towards the rest of my stuff. I nodded my head yes. He then picked the four books up in one arm and Athena's cage in the other.

" Lead the way, princess" he said teasingly as I walked past him using my hair to cover my face which I knew for sure was as red as a strawberry.

But even with all the hair covering my face I could still see the smirk playing across his lips. I walked him over to where my room was, and opened it for him. He walked in first and set my things down on my bed.

"Gorge you are not allowed in here get out!" Hermione shrieked smacking him with the book she was reading.

"George, what in the world are you doing?" Now it was Ginny asking in a calm voice.

"Oh don't get your knickers in a twist I was just helping her" he said housing them up.He placed his big hand on top of my head when he said 'her'.

I tried pushing it off but he ruffled my hair and said his goodbyes. When I turned around a girl with a beautiful brown complexion and long straight balck hair was sitting on her bed. She smiled at me and said "Hey my name is Parviti Patil, and I hope you don't mind me asking but are you and Gorge..." she trailed off as she crossed her middle and index finger together. It took me a moment to realize what she meant  but when I did I shook my head no vigorously.

This time it was Ginny who spoke. "Well you might as well be. I've never seen him do something nice in his life. If I were you I would check all your stuff for one of their joke toys'' before I could even pull out my parchment Hermione chimed in closing her book she said, "Oh stop it you two she is new. He just wants to make her feel welcomed, that's all". She opened her book back and continued reading. I put my thumbs up, signaling my agreement with her.

"Well I warned you if anything explodes..." Ginny said putting her hands up, I laughed lightly at what she said and placed my books under my bed.

It has now been a week, I've been going to the library with Hermione to learn a few things. She makes a great teacher even when Harry and Ron tag along. They are still so sure I am going to curse her and whatnot. But Harry wasn't there as much. Because of quidditch practice, their captain Oliver Wood has been pushing them to their best for the game against Hufflepuff this week. Now, for the third time in an hour, Hermione is scolding Ron for glaring at me nonstop and that if he doesn't stop she'll have him wait outside.

"Okay let's get back to this," she pointed to the page, titled Draught of Peace.

To brew the Draught of Peace, follow these steps:
Add powdered moonstone until the potion turns green.
Stir until the potion turns blue.
Add powdered moonstone until the potion turns purple.
Allow to simmer until the potion turns pink.
Add syrup of hellebore until the potion turns turquoise.
"All you have to do is memorize the potion and I'll quiz you on these 10 potions next week" Hermione said smiling. We studied other subjects for another three hours and Ron was fast asleep. I got up to leave but asked the heroine if she was coming.

"Oh no I'm alright, I'm just going to wait for him to wake up and we'll be on our way" she smiled again.

I don't think either of them realize that one likes the other, but they are by far the cutest "couple" I've seen so far.

"Hey Nyla" I turned to my right seeing Neville waving and smiling as he walked towards me.

'Hey, what class did you come from?' I asked,he read it and looked up at me with his answer. "Herbology, I just learned about gillyweed. Did you know-" he continued talking, but I had zoned out when I saw George running with Fred. I haven't spoken to him since he helped me put my stuff away, which made me a bit sad. I don't want to admit it, but I think I missed him. Right behind Fred, I saw a girl with balck hair and brown skin running along with them.

"Hurry, Angelina!" Fred called out to her. She laughed, walking faster towards them. I know I shouldn't be jealous because he's not mine, but still, she's his age and I'm a year below him. We have no classes together, but I still couldn't help myself from being a little jealous.

"So isn't that neat,'' Neville finished talking. I looked at him, smiled and nodded my head.

"Well, I better get going before I'm late for potions, or Snape will have my head for it." I waved goodbye. He turned the corner and was out of my sight. I went to the common room still thinking about the stupid boy. When I entered the room, I saw a boy with dreads roasting marshmallows over the fire. He turned around, looked at me and widened his eyes.

"Ayee your Nyla right?" he exclaimed. He licked marshmallow drippings off his finger. I nodded my head yes. "Yea George won't shut up abo-" A hand cupped over his mouth quickly. That hand belonged to George.

He laughed awkwardly as he said "Lee doesn't know what he's talking about." Lee pulled his hand down and said, "Yes I do you li-" Lee was once again interrupted by George. "No you don't, Lee. He needs to take his meds. Don't you, Lee?" George said gritting his teeth. He grabbed  Lee and pushed him towards the boys' dormitory hallway.

"Fine, fine. I'll stay quiet." Lee said. George ran his hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.

"Don't say another word to her'', George whispered but not as well as he thought because I had heard him.  Lees eyes widened, he nodded in agreement, putting his hands up in surrender and said "understood" backing away. He looked like he was holding back a laugh and left.

Have a nice day :)mwahh
