The events of the past few days had started to worry Castelia. Her parents had escaped. Pretty much everyone flinched when Castelia walked into a room, she could tell people were talking about her behind her back, and she didn't blame them. Due to recent events umbridge had implemented even more educational decrees, the latest of which had landed Lee in detention. Castelia wanted with all her heart to leave Hogwarts, she was sick of it, she wanted to do something. But she knew if she left her plan would probably backfire. The only thing that gave Castelia even the slightest bit of joy was the D.A meetings, which Harry had been holding quite frequently, Castelia suspected this was in retaliation of umbridges recent bitchyness. Castelia hadn't really seen the twins much just at the D.A meetings and occasionally in the corridors. She had mostly taken to spending most of her time with Lee Jordan.

Due to the mountain of homework her dear old professors had bestowed upon her the month of January ended rather quickly, and the day Castelia had been dreading approached. Valentine's Day. Castelia had told George she would only go with him if he let her plan the entire thing, and the truth was she had completely forgotten about it. And she was now laying in her bed on February 14 contemplating what in hell they were going to do.

After about ten minutes of staring at the ceiling Castelia still hadn't come up with anything that wasn't dumb and basic Valentine's Day stuff.

" Pansy!" Castelia yelled, chucking a pillow across the room at her sleeping roommate.

The dark haired girl sat up rubbing her eyes.

"What the hell Cas, I was having a good dream" whined Pansy.

Castelia and Pansy has been on good terms lately. And since they shared a dormitory this sort of encouraged them to be civil to each other.

" I need your help" said Castelia.

" why dont you ask Granger since you guys are Bffs now" Asked a voice from across the room.

They had apparently woken up their other roommate, Milecent Bulstrode.

" because she's a fucking idiot" shot Castelia.

" then why do you hang out with her?" Asked Millicent, crossing her arms.

" to get close to Potter," snapped Castelia " now that my parents are out of Azkaban, they'll want any information I can get on Potter And his friends."

" if that why your going out with George ?" Asked Pansy.

Castelia nodded.

" bitch! You know who is gonna give you a fucking trophy" said Pansy.

" George kind of cute though" mumbled Millicent.

" yeah, and he's kind of taken " laughed Castelia.

" good thing he has a twin" sang Millicent.

" okay, so speaking of George ," started Castelia, " I was supposed to think of something to do today... for Valentine's Day."

" C, if you ask me you are putting to much effort into this fake relationship" said Pansy, as she started dressing. " you should just crush his heart already."

" oh I know, but you never know what he might let something slip about that family of blood traitors." Replied Castelia, as she also slipped out of bed.

" you should take him to that little tea shop, they always decorate for Valentine's Day." Suggested Millicent.

" and have my brain explode from the overload of pink? No thanks." Said Castelia.

" just take him hiking or something." Shrugged Pansy, " I'm going down to breakfast"

" I'll come with" said Millicent, as she and Pansy started out of the dormitory.

" don't die today C."

Maybe they would go hiking thought Castelia once Pansy and Millicent had left. At this point Castelia had been standing in the middle of the room in her pajamas and she was supposed to be meeting George at the entrance hall in ten minutes, he could wait, she thought.

Castelia ended up punching herself in the nose trying to put a shirt on before she finally found herself in the entrance hall 20 minutes later.

" good morning" smiled Castelia, as she walked up beside George.

" well someone's in a good mood" smirked George putting his arm around Castelia, and for once she didn't protest.

Castelia shrugged.

The pair continued on past Filch and out into the snowy path leading to hogsmead.

" okay.. that's enough." Said Castelia, pulling George's arm off of her.

" oh come on it's Valentine's Day" complained George .

" boo fucking hoo "

" boo fucking hoo? Is that all you could come up with?" Laughed George .

Castelia glared at him.

" fine, sorry" said George , " what are we doing today anyway?"

" something not boring" replied Castelia.

" well that really narrows it down, doesn't it?"

" you agreed to let me plan this... date" shot Castelia.

" need I remind you, that was the only way to make you go with me."

" I'm really beginning to regret that decision"

" oh believe me, so am I." Said George , lacing his fingers through Castelias

" I could have asked someone a little more pleasant... like Alicia"

" oh please, she's boring"

" more fun than you"

" mhmm, that's why you're holding my hand instead of snogging Alicia."

George grinned at her.

" because I like you, and you're a fucking good kisser" he said bluntly and let go of her hand and continued walking.

The truth was Castelia really did like George , but given her recent predicament their relationship would be short lived. But Castelia really didn't want it to be. She was well aware of her constant bitchyness which made it almost impossible to be with her but George seemed to make an effort to be with her and no one ever made an effort for her, and Castelia really liked George but she had basically blown any chance of a future they ever had together by selling her soul to the devil, playing double agent between the death eaters and the Order. Her situation sucked, his safety... or him.

The pair continued in silence the rest of the way. Castelia was still trying to come up with something to do when they finally walked into the snow covered village of hogsmead.

" so where we going?" Asked George .

" this way" said Castelia gesturing in the direction of the shrieking shack.

" we're not going to the shrieking shack are we?" Complained George .

" I told you we aren't going to do anything boring" reassured Castelia.

Castelia started walking in the direction of the woods around the village when she saw the last person she wanted to see. Cormac Mcleagan. He didn't actually see them but she could see him and that was enough.

" fuck" breathed Castelia.

Cormac apparently heard her because he turned around and started towards them, a crooked grin on his face.

" kiss me" mumbled Castelia.

" what?" Asked George surprised, " you actually want me to kiss you because every time I actually try to do anything affectionate you always make me stop."

Cormac was getting closer, and Castelia was sure he was going to be extra perverted today.

" like today when I tried to put my arm around you, and that one time when..."

Cormac was getting closer. Castelia crushed her lips into George's , kissing him made her feel like she was floating, every time, without fail. George was kissing back, she could feel his hand on her cheek. This kiss was slow, and passionate and definitely enough to get Cormac to leave her alone. The pair pulled apart smiling.

Mcleagan was gone.

" What was that for?" Asked George , brushing Castelia dark hair out of her face.

" maybe I wanted to show a little affection" grinned Castelia.

" mmhm, sure. This wouldn't at all have to do with the fact that Cormac Mcleagan was making a bee line towards you?"

" why do you always have to be so negative?" Shot Castelia.

" you're asking me about my negativity?" Laughed George .

" okay fine. Kiss, good. Mcleagan, bad. Let's go" Castelia said, as she continued walking.

They reached the edge of the forest.

" so what are we actually doing" Asked George .

" walking"

" no shit"

" we're walking in the woods" said Castelia.

" I guess it beats whatever everyone else is doing" George shrugged.

They had walked for about an hour, when they reached a rocky hillsides which was dotted in caves.

" we should explore" said Castelia, starting up the hillside. The problem with Castelia was she never thought about cause and effect, for example if you go into a dark cave you could die.

"I'm sorry but I have no intention of dying today " said George .

" Fine then I'm going alone" replied Castelia, as she walked into the cave, and muttering lumos.

It was dark, except for the light of her wand and from the cave entrance. It smelt like mold and rain and she could hear a faint dripping coming from somewhere. Castelia could hear George walking up behind her.

" I though you said you didn't want to die" she said.

"Yeah but I Also didn't want to stand out there alone." George grinned, lighting his wand.

They continued through the cave, Castelia leading the way.

" how's you hand?" George Asked suddenly.

" my hand?"

" from Umbridge" he explained.

" there's a scar" said Castelia., " And why do you care?"

"Come on Cas, can't you just except the fact that I actually might have your best interests at heart?" George smirked.

" Weasley, we all know your just interested in my family secrets." Castelia said, turning to look at George , and then she walked into a huge fucking spider web.

Castelia stopped, the simple thought of spiders terrified her. The first time her and George had encountered spiders they had been gigantic, but Castelia had somehow managed to keep a somewhat calm mind. She assumed this was because the fucking bastards weren't touching her.

Castelia was absolutely petrified with fear. She could not move, she tried but her limbs would not go. She could hear George saying something behind her but she couldn't quite make out the words.

Castelia could feel a sizable creature slowly crawling up her arm, a tear slid down her cheek, she shut her eyes. The spider was now on her shoulder. And she could feel the sticky, white spiderweb cloaking her body.

Castelia was now silently crying. She still hadn't moved and the spawn of fucking satin was now on her neck.

" Cas, you ok?" George Asked. Castelia could feel him moving next to her.

The spider was now beginning her accent up to her face. Castelia wanted to scream but the sound just wouldn't come out.

This is what Castelia Carrow was reduced to a still, silent, crying girl in a cave with a spider on her face... pathetic.

Castelia could feel George in front of her. Then a soft brush on her cheeks and then the crawling stopped.

"Casi? Castelia, look at me."

Said George softly.

Castelia shook her head, her eyes where still shut and her cheeks where still wet.

" Casi, are You scared of spiders?" Asked George .

Castelia nodded her head. She could feel George pull her into his arms. She felt so fucking pathetic. Helpless.

" but that one time in the forbidden forest...Cas, look at me."

Castelia looked up at him. This is definitely what 'safe' felt like.

" you are the strongest person I know and a fear of spiders Isn't ever going to change that" said George wiping the tears off of her cheek.

" thank you" Castelia finally spoke.

" for what?"

" not letting that spider sit on my face."

George smiled.

"Anytime."

" don't tell anyone" Castelia said, finally letting go of George .

He nodded his head.

" you know I think that was the longest time you've ever gone without saying something insulting" George laughted.

Castelia smiled.

" let's get out of here."
