Heir of His Heart

Chapter 11

We painted for maybe 30 minutes. He was now smiling and was surprisingly good at this. He looked at my painting which was a girl in a red fluffy ball gown and a boy in a suit floating in the sky slowly dancing with bright stars all over the balck night sky.

"Woah Nyla you're a really good painter" he exclaimed.

'Yours look great too' I worte down, after he read it he blushed and said thnks our hands were covered with color because I had suggested why not to paint with hands. Then a brilliant idea came to mind when I slowly brought my red and white paint covered hands and touched his cheek. He gasped and flicked paint at me. I then flicked some back and ran with the plate that had blue paint on it. He ran after me laughing.

We were now in the common room flicking paint at each other making the room a mess. I then ran out the room and to the left where all the boys' rooms were. It made me happy that I took his mind off Snape It made me happy that I made someone happy.

"What's going-" Dean and I collided as he was in the middle of asking a question. I got up quickly as Neville sprayed me with more paint and as we were paint fighting, Seamus laughed helping his friend up. The other door opened, I didnt see who it was but whoever it was grabbed me from behind and held my hands down.

"Get her face Neville'' I squealed knowing  it was George, this big buffoon, before I could get out of his grasp yellow paint was smooshed all over my face.

A laughing George dropped me on the ground, I couldn't see but I attempted to grab at him but only caught his robe. I used it to wipe my eyes and got up, picking up my blue paint and quickly putting it on both my hands than smooshing George's face. He then grabbed my wrists pulling my hand from his face.

"How dare you" he said smiling as he lifted me over his shoulder holding my school robe down so it wouldn't fly up. I kicked my legs trying to get off of him. He finally put me down as we entered the common and I realized Neville was gone. I pulled George towards me to whisper to him.
"Where's Neville?" I whispered. 

"He got really messy and went to go clean up,--- why are we whispering".He whispered back bending down to my height

I didn't whisper but I said a little lower than my normal voice. "I just don't feel comfortable talking to others yet so I'd prefer to just stay quiet". He ruffled my hair saying "will do" I smacked his hand patting my hair down.

"Sstop messing my hair up". After a couple minutes Hermione came in furious with the mess we made and got it cleaned up before Mcgonagall saw. She sent me to wash myself in the school's showers and scolded George and I for being so reckless. I was now in clean clothes wearing jeans and a sweater front the cloths those people gave me. I really wish I knew who it was. I suspect Mcgonagall but I guess I won't know until they choose to tell me.

It has been a couple days now and Ron and Harry are getting fond of me I think. My studying has gotten so much better. By Monday I should be able to take the test. George, Fred and I have been messing around alot together. I feel we have gotten a lot closer and I've really gotta know him. I found out he despises spicy food when Fred told me to watch this and handed George a candy and swore it wasn't one of their joke candies. He was right it wasnt it was just coated with spicy chilli powder.

And when I had laughed with my mouth open George stuck the candy in my mouth. In the end Fred was the only one laughing because Geaorge and I were chugging water down trying to cool our mouths down.

I have been eating alot more and I don't sit alone anymore, George always makes sure my plate is full even though I keep telling him I can't finish four full plates of food and secretly hand some to Lee. Currently I was sitting with Hermione watching the team practice for Quidditch. With lavender on the far end cheering for Ron.
