Forever, my love

5. The connection.

• Lilac's POV •

Last night was exhausting, i didn't sleep a wink, it's now 6:52am and i need to get ready for school.

I quickly get up and have a shower and chuck on my school clothes. Ugh why Slytherin. Out of every house i had to be in Slytherin.

I walk downstairs and don't see my mum anywhere.
"Mum?" I yell out. No response.

Where would she be this early in the morning?.

I try to push it to the back of my mind as i place my books in my bag and head out the door. The air felt cool against my face, i quickly felt my cheeks on nose. they were freezing.

As i walked at a slow pace through the early morning mist, i could barely see what lays ahead in-front of me. Before i knew it a heard of animals began charging towards me a full speed.

I begin running as i look behind me and see them rapidly catching up. I see a tall figure charge towards me at the speed of light.

Before i knew i was on the ground, i couldn't make out where exactly i was. All of a sudden i feel hands wrap around me.

"You alright, Love?" The raspy, deep voice said.

"Oh shit" i say as i jump off the guy that i was laying on.

"Oo jumpy today, are we darling?" the voice said.

I turn around and gasp.

"Not a big talker in the morning?" George says as i help him up.

"I'm sorry, i just have many things on my mind, are you okay?" I said looking concerned.

"I think the real question is, are you okay?" he said staring at me, up and down.

"I'm fine".

"Come on, let's head to school, i heard they are serving blueberry pancakes today" He says as he gently pulls my hand.

"Blueberry pancakes? hmm i've only had Strawberry pancakes" I say looking down.

"No way, i love strawberry pancakes" he says excitedly.

"Really? my mum makes them really good" i say as i chuckle.

"Well you'll have to introduce me to her so she can make her fancy pancakes for me too" he says as we begin to approach the school.

We walk into the great hall and people are already staring at us.

"Um i guess this is my queue to leave. Goodbye George." i say as i begin to walk away.

"Goodbye Lilac" he says.

I turn around and see him staring. i stare back.

I take a seat at the very end of the Slytherin table and grab a blueberry pancake. As i was about to eat i see Goyle storm my way. He looked furious.

"Hi" i say unbothered as i eat my pancake.

"Care to explain what exactly you were doing with Weasley over there" Goyle says as he points over to George.

"It's none of your business" I say, still eating my pancake.

"Yes it is, i care about you and don't want you falling into the wrong hands" he says while staring at me.

"Maybe you're the 'wrong hands'." i say as i mock him.

"Lilac, what is it that you see in him?"

"He reminds me of someone i used to know" i reply as i look away.

"Keyword: used to know, get over it" Draco says, butting into the conversation.

"Piss off Malfoy!" I yell as i get up and run out.

Goyle follows me.

•George's POV •

I stare over at the Slytherin table and watch as Lilac starts talking to Goyle. Gosh i absolutely loathe that guy.

"Georgie you okay?" Fred asked.

"Fine" i say, still staring over at Lilac. I was beyond pissed.

"George, you've barely touched your food, what's wrong mate" Harry asked.

"It's just Goyle he really just grinds my gears." i say, still staring at the Slytherin table.

"Piss off Malfoy" i hear Lilac scream.

Now, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and I are all staring at Lilac as she marches out of the great hall. Goyle following her shortly after.

"I'll be back" i say as i stand up.

"But Geor.." Fred begins to say something, but i'm too pissed off to go back.

I search around the empty halls for Lilac. But nothing. I search around the whole school until i began to hear voices. I carefully crept and stood near the wall to peak around the corner.

"Lilac i don't understand you, you are fraternising with the enemy!" Goyle says almost yelling at her.

What a idiot.

"They are not the enemy, i didn't even want to be in this stupid house anyway i don't belong here!" she says shouting at him.

"Yes you do, you belong here. Lilac please just here me out i want to protect you" Goyle says while grabbing her hand.

"Why do you even care man. What the hell. You don't get decide who i can and can't be friends with!" She shouts, almost crying.

"BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!" Goyle shout back.

"I-" Lilac begins to say something but the words aren't coming out.

I don't think this is the right time for me to go in.

"You don't even know me! WE MET YESTERDAY!" She shouts after a moment of silence.

"I don't care i like you and nothing is going to change that."

"Just leave me alone." She says as she tried to walk away.

"No!" He said as he firmly grabs her hand.

"Ouch man, what the hell?" She says as she tries to let go of him grip.

"She said leave her alone" I interrupt as i rush over to them.

"Oh great, is this the reason why you won't go out with me, because of him? Goyle said looking annoyed.

"What no, i'm not going out with you because i don't want to, now let go of me. NOW!" she says as Goyle loosened his grip.

*CLAP*

Before i knew it, Lilac had slapped Goyle right across the face.

"That's for simply not leaving me alone when i told you to." Lilac says as she starts to walk off.

I ran to catch up with her.

"Well, that was one impressive slap." I say as she turns around.

"Well what can i say, don't mess with me." She giggles.

We both laugh.

"I should be getting to class now" She says.

"Let's hang out sometime." I blurt out.

"Sure, with Fred as well?" She asks. 

"Yeah, with Fred too" I reply.

I watch as she turns back and waves before turning the corner.

"Shit, I'm late." I whisper as i look at the time.
