Heir of His Heart

Chapter 35

The Yule Ball was now only days away and Nyla still didn't have a dress. It's not like she could buy one anyways. She was looking at the girls' dresses and each and every one of them was lovely. Hermione's was a beautiful shade of blue, prettier than the skies. Ginnys was just as she described it in class a few days ago.

Parvati's dress was a beautiful traditional dress. She told Nyla that  the top piece was called choli and it was a beautiful pink. The bottom piece was called lehenga or pavada which was a gorgeous shade of orange and it was all wrapped up with a dupatta scarf that was the same shade of orange as the lehenga. She also explained to Nyla that all together the ensemble is called a ghagra choli; or salwar kameez suits.  Nyla listened to everything she said intrigued by how interesting it all was.

They hung their dresses up and promised Nyla that they would figure out a way to make her a dress.

"I could send an owl to my parents for them to send one of my dresses if you'd like," Hermione suggested. Nyla didn't want to be needy and said she would be completely fine going in a casual dress she could just touch up her old orphanage uniform. She reassured them that she was really okay.

And she really was; she never had gotten anything fancy so she could go longer without wearing anything fancy. It wasn't any different anyways, they had taken their lunch break to look at the dresses and since they finished that they left the room and went to go sit down at the lunch table again.

When Nyla saw Athena fly to her and drop a letter in her hand that said Molly weasley on it. She got up and handed it over to George, maybe it was his mum Nyla thought to herself. He opened the letter and it worte

'Thank you boys I love you both and you better be getting good grades too. Tell your friend I said thank you as well and hi'.

He read the letter and turned it to Nyla so she could read it and she smiled.

"I think my mom would be really happy to see you, you know once the school year ends if you want uh no pressure- and if my mom says yes- only if you want uh" George stuttered multiple times.

"Dear lord, would you like to spend summer break at our house or not Nyla?" Ginny said abruptly, losing patience with her brother. She smacked his arm "Stop scratching your neck you monkey" she nagged. Nyla laughed and nodded her head yes.

"I'd love to, I can't wait to meet your mum and your other brothers" Nylaexpressed, George smiled at her, lovingly. Knowing she'll get along great with his Mum.

Once Lunch was over they headed to Potions and sat down already bored before the lesson started and like every time before class begins, Snape greeted them in a bored voice. He started the lesson telling them which page to turn to and what to and not to mix into thier cauldrons. They finally finished what they were doing and cleaned up, sat down, then waited for him to dismiss the class. Once they heard Snape's dismissal they left quickly and went to DADA.

Nyla had been doing really good in school and was proud of herself. She was also sad that after the Yule ball there would only be a month left of school she couldn't believe it this year had been nothing she'd expect but who would expect all this.

She was also awaiting the time when George and Fred graduated Once she's in her fifth year they'll be in their sixth then seventh and she couldn't wait. The twins planned on making a Joke shop for everyone to come and enjoy their days once they graduated. And Nyla wanted to be by his side for all of it . Even the hardships, she wanted to be there.

Class was now over and Nyla had stayed behind because she knew that Lupin would ask her to anyway. She pulled a chair out and sat in front of his desk.

"I have a gift for you Nyla my wife insisted you have it, It was hers for her first Yule Ball and said you would look fabulous in it. But i'll understand if you don't like it" He pulled out a beautiful silver dress that had jewels leading from the top and faded out as it came closer to the bottom half it was strapless and had glitter covering the whole dress.

Nyla had started tearing up, at how gorgeous it was.

"I can't- I can't accept that"   Nyla stutterd trying to hold back her tears at the kindness.

"Well my wife did insist you have it, if you didn't have a dress". Nyla cried tears of joy and ran and gave Professor Lupin a hug. He rubbed her back comforting her "No need to cry, i'll let her know you appreciate it" he said smiling.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Nyla breathed in wiping her tears.

"I had already told you I'll be there whenever. You don't need to thank me for what I promised," Professor Lupin stated smiling.

Nyla finally let go accepting the dress from him as she leaned the dress on top of her body.

"You look like a princess, don't let George see until the dance though it'll ruin the surprise now wouldn't it?" Professor Lupin said happily. Nyla nodded with a tear stained face and a big smile. She held the dress up and carried it bridal style so it wouldn't drag on the floor.

"Thank you again, you don't know how much this means to me, tell your wife I said thank you as well" Nyla said as she ran to her common room wanting to show her friends the magnificent dress she received.

"Hermione!" Nyla called out as she entered the room all three girls were already in there and looked at the dress.

"Oh my god Nyla it's gorgeous" Ginny exclaimed tracing the gems.

"It was a gift," Nyla told them, still having a big smile on her face.

"I can't wait to wear it" Nyla grinned.

"Well try it on" Parvati said happily, Nyla quickly changed into it and spun around. The girls squealed at how beautiful it was.

"And I could do your hair in a bun with a few of your curls sticking out," Ginny said excitedly.

"And with the necklace George got you, you'll look gorgeous," Parvati added, fluffing up Nylas dress. Their heads turned to the door when they heard a knock.

"I'm coming in" George voiced, the three ran to the door screaming no and smacking the door closed.

"What do you mean no me and Nyla had things planned for today" he whined.

"Not anymore, she's busy" Hermione said, He banged on the door.

"Are you guys keeping my girlfriend captive!" he bellowed. Ginny rolled her eyes as she sighed "No you idiot she's fine it's just a girl emergency". Nyla was laughing, staring at the girls that were holding the door shut and George pushing it with all his strength.

"Bogus!, Nyla are you still alive!" George screamed. Nyla laughed harder but still answered him "Yes i'm fine, no go, we can't have you seeing me right now" Nyla said still happy.

"Fine but if she gets hurt-, actually Hermione is there nevermind," George said as he stopped pushing on the door.

"Hey so you're calling me and Parvati unsafe" Ginny asked, dramatically scoffing. George then replied "Well you are the one who encouraged Fred that an umbrella would keep him floating in the air". Ginny smiled pushing herself off the door "his fault for believing a six year old".
