RIDDLES PROPERTY

chapter 28

Emelia would've felt so lonely the next few days if it weren't for Ginny keeping her company. Draco was still in the hospital wing recovering from his injuries which were still deep in his skin. Emelia made sure to visit him almost everyday, for the past two days, and keep him company. Their friendship was quite peculiar, but it was working. Ginny and her sat in their dorms listening to music on Emelia's airpods.

"You wanna hear something cool? Well, I wouldn't call it cool, but it's fascinating I guess.", Emelia said.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Remember on the train how you were saying Fred was seeing someone? That someone was me...for a quick second.", she said.

Ginny's mouth fell. She wasn't surprised, but she was. Ginny would never suspect them two fooling around because Emelia was a broody gal meanwhile Fred was loud and comical.

"A quick second?", she asked.

Emelia nodded, "He, erm, he went back to Olive. Caught them snogging when I was moving out of the dorm which I shared with her. It isn't much of a big deal, I guess. We weren't even really going out.", she tried to quickly cover up.

Ginny took out the airpod and walked over next to Emelia. She embraced her in a hug to which Emelia just sat there. It was a bit awkward, but after a few seconds she gave in and indulged the hug.

"I'm so sorry. I'll beat his bloody arse and make him wish he was never born."

Emelia didn't reply to that. What would she say? They were family and she was just a random girl.

"It's alright, it's no big deal."

"It kind of is...I'm not defending my brother, but when he came back after he was with you I hadn't smile in that way in awhile. He really messed up."

Emelia sighed and looked down at her legs. They were a bit bruised up. The song continued playing and she looked at Ginny.

"You know, we should stay i-", but before Emelia finished Ginny had interrupted.

"Hell no, we are going to attend the party in the common room after my quidditch game tonight! We have got to show Fred what he's missing.", she insisted.

It seemed as if Emelia had no choice and had to attend. She checked the time, it was 4:40. The game started at 6:00. Ginny went through her wardrobe and threw clothes on the bed.

"I'm not wearing that, sorry.", Emelia said, "You'd look great in it!"

Ginny laughed.

"You're funny! I mean I guess I could, but my brothers would kill me.", she tried saying.

"Fuck your brothers. They're getting mad that you get more of it than them."

Emelia looked up from the dress at Ginny and they both burst out.

"I wish that were true, but I'm just waiting for the right person. It's insane, the rumors which circulated about me last year! Someone even made up the rumor that Dean had knocked me up and I was pregnant. This school is absolute shit, but I love it."

Emelia cracked a smile. Ginny may've been 1 year younger than her, but she was better than most the girls in Emelia's sixth year.

"Alright, I'll get ready for quidditch practice meanwhile you can get ready or do whatever you'd like", Ginny said. Emelia nodded.

Ginny left the room and Emelia sat at the corner of the bed. Maybe she'd go visit Draco, but she had to attend to some business, at first.
