Heir of His Heart

Chapter 29

"Nyla, Nyla, Wake up!" Nyla was yet again ignoring Hermione and turning to her side to continue her rest.

"Ugh you're worse than Ron" Thud!. Nyla groaned rubbing her backside "Fine im up, so aggressive" Nyla said stretching and yawning. She finally got freshened up and put her robe on, and was still sleepy while walking with Ginny to breakfast. Transfiguration passed with a blur as did herbology. Potions were just as dreadful as any day and during lunch she didn't get a chance to spend time with George because she had last minute studying to do with Hermione.

She may like George but she surely didn't want to fail her classes. She was now watching her legs swing back and forth in class while Professor Lupin continued his lessons. Nyla wondered if George wanted to do some painting later, she could teach him. She was sure he'd be better at painting than she is at skipping rocks. The memory brought a warm feeling to her; she could feel it reach her cheeks when she remembered he kissed her on the cheek. They hadn't kissed since that night and she always wondered why but never asked.

Students started packing and Nyla cursed herself for not paying attention and made a mental note to ask Hermione for notes.

"Nyla could you come here?" Lupin asked kindly, Nyla panicked thinking he knew she didn't listen a bit to the lessons today or he was going to ask her something and she wouldn't know the answer.

"Yes, professor lupin" Nyla said, taking a seat in front of his desk.

"No need to sound so worried you're not in trouble" he laughed "I just had a few questions". Nyla relaxed "I just wanted to know how was your life in an orphanage". Nyla thought then spoke "well it always felt like I was the odd one out. I didn't get along with either boys or girls my age".

Luping listened quietly and nodded his head in understandmite "And I never spoke so everything would be blamed on me, I didn't really care but it took a toll on me sometimes'' Nyla finished.

"So you wouldn't want to go back to see if a muggle family were to adopt you?" Lupin asked. Nyla shook her head no "Most definitely not. I don't want to grow up there. If I could I would stay at the school until I'm eighteen instead of that place" Nyla said firmly then asked "Why?". Lupin smiling shook his head.

"No reason, have a good rest of your day and tell George I said hi". Nylas' face started heating up again, does he know that the two are together, it's not like they've done the best at hiding it.

Nyla awkwardly laughed "Uh yea will do, bye" Nyla left shutting the door behind her confused why the professor asked these questions out of the blue. Nyla dismissed it and went to go find George as she was walking to the common room she bumped into him.

"George!" Nyla smilied grabbing his arms and running towards her room, "I'm going to teach you how to paint!". Nyla said excitedly picking up her canvases and paint bottle and paintbrushes. With George holding a couple of things and Nyla holding their rest they made their way outside. It was a little chilly but it wasn't a face freezing cold, just a relaxing breeze.

"Okay what do you want to paint?" Nyla asked him, George thought for a moment and his answer just showed how much of a sweetheart he really is.

"My mum," he said excitedly. "Okay first you're going to have to trace her out. Do you have a picture of her you can copy?" He got up, ran to where his locker used for Quidditch and came back out with a small picture of baby Fred and George with his mom holding both of them on each side.

"Perfect," Nyla said, taking the picture, starting to trace it out onto the canvas while George watched her skills intently. After about 25 minutes she was done.

"Now you have to get the colors you need, and where are you going to start".

It has been an hour of Nyla instructing how to paint it and the both of them were having so much fun the time passed by faster than lighting.  And in the middle of him painting Nyla questioned. "George isn't her hair orange?" He looked back at the green he colored on his mothers hair area and face palmed himself and groaned.

"Hey it's okay we could always just do this" Nyla reassured him and waved her wand over the green blob of paint and it lifted off the canvas.

"Now do it like this since it hair it needs to look flowy" she said as she held his hand showing him how to do it. She let go and he did it just as she showed him.

After a few more hours they finished it completely and it looked gorgeous.

"Why don't you send it to her?" asked Nyla looking at the adorable painting.

"I would but Errol, my owl, would probably pass out, drop it, or put his claw through it on accident". Nyla started gathering all her things as she said "Not to worry we can use Athena once it dries we'll wrap it up make a handle for her to hold it and you can put a little letter for her too". George looked at her happy.

"Really?" Nyla nodded her head as George pulled her into his lap and hugged her tightly. Nyla laughed.

"George let's get everything in before it gets blown away" she said draggin is name out. He moved her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. Standing up and helping her clean up carefully holding the painting so it wouldn't get smudged.

"Aren't they adorable," Lavender said , walking with Parvati passing by the two who were painting together. Parvati nodded her head in agreement "I wish I had someone like George" Lavender said longingly, continuing to walk and continue with their day.

George and Nyla were now walking into the common room so George could write his letter for his mum. "What you got, Georgeie," Fred asked sitting on the common room sofa.

"Oh Nyla taught me how to paint she did most of it but still" George said happily looking at the painting. "I'm going to send it to mom" Fred looked at it amazed.

"Woah Nyla could you teach me so I could send my mum one too?" Fred asked, still looking at the painting.

"I could just say this was from the both of us" George said, Fred gave him a soft playful punch on the arm.

"You always were the nice one, thanks, I'm going to go find Winona," Fred said hopping off the couch and exiting the common room.

"Whos winona " Nyla asked George who was setting the painting down.

"Oh she's a new girl in our grade and Fred is set on bugging her, I'm pretty sure she hates him" Nyla nodded her head and watched over George's shoulder as he wrote down his letter.

"Just a small gift from me and Fred, my friend Nyla helped and the owl is hers too she says hi".

Nyla hadn't asked for him to add the last part. She was glad he did "Now by tomorrow it should be dry so we'll send it tomorrow sound good?" Nyla confirmed with George who was putting his letter in an envelope nodding his head yes. She bent over and gave him a kiss on the cheek which he usually does and bid her farewells "I'll see you during dinner" she smiled as George said okay and watched as she walked out his room.

Hope your having a nice day, afternoon or night mwahh:))
