She loved her room and couldnt wait to show Fia. It was now dinner time and she saw Ron finish and wait for her to stand up to leave. She stood up and walked out of the great hall and smiled when Ron came right out with her. "How was my little angel this afternoon" she asked. "Well my foot kind of hurt because I stubbed my toe this morning" he laughed. "Your cat is so awesome, she actually likes me. Hermione hasnt spoken to me all night though. I think that she is jelous of you." he said extending his arm for her to grab.
She did wrap her arm with his and they walked back up towards Gryffindor tower. When they arrived she awaited his return with her baby. While she was waiting Fred and George showed up. they hardly even recognized her until she spoke up "I guess I'm not that important if you wont atleast say hello" They both then saw who it was and apolagized quickly. "We didnt see you Belle" Fred said. "I heard your looking for your own dorm in the school. Fred and I have been looking for a few years now and still havent found one, so good luck." George said. "Oh, I already found one" she said smiling. "No way, you've only been here a short time, how could you find one and not us?" She laughed "Well I had one of the best trackers to help me find it. I know he isnt one of your biggest supporters but Draco helped me find it." she said. The twins were about to speak up when Ron walked out of the common room with Sophie.
Belle's smile went from ear to ear "Fia!" she said and laughed as the cat jumped from Ron's hands straight into hers. "I was just telling the twins that I fond a place and I was wondering if you guys wanted to come and check it out with me. I've already approoved it but now I just need some pack mules to help me move" she said squinting. "Do you think you could perhaps help me?" The boys all agreed without a second thought. Then they all followe behind her as she led them to the Slytherin common room entrance. "Stay right here, I'll be back with my things" she said and she dashed into get them leaving Sophie with Ron.
She grabbed her trunk, her broom, and all of her books and things. She then ran to the bathroom and piled all of her things into the trunk. When she had gotten everything to the guys they started to follow her as she made her way to her new dorm. when they arrived she put Sophie down to explore her new home for the next year and a half. "Feel free to look around guys" she said while plopping onto the couch. The twins loved ran upstiars and were admiring her tub while Ron took a seat on the bay window bench and admired the view. She then walked over and shared the seat with him. She was still smiling and then her smile faded as she saw Ron was upset over something. "Ron, what is wrong? Do you not like this room?" she asked laying a hand on his knee.
"This room is perfect" Ron said "I'm sure you've heard that we Weasleys are poor. No matter which one of us you choose your still going to be miserable with." She then tilted his face up to look at her. She was still smiling at him. "Ron, I dont care if your rick or poor. I am looking for happiness, and it doesnt always mean with money. Sophie makes me happy everyday just by being there, and you do the same to me too." He then gazed into her smiling face. "You really are perfect ya know" he said hugging her. "Ron, I'm not perfect, I'm far from perfect." she said kissing his forehead.
The twins then came down and they all said they're goodnights, and they each got a kiss on the cheek. Today had been a long day and Belle was relieved to be spending her first night in her new place. She had stayed up by the fire doing her work then she climbed her stairs to her bedroom. She loved the idea of that nice big bed but first decided a bath would be the best. She filled the large tub with water and added in her favorite bubbles from America, she loved the scent of toasted vanilla and sugar. After a few minutes of soaking she washed her hair and then went to her large vanity. She got into her long silky light blue night dress and laid on her bed. She had used a drying charm on her hair so now all she needed was for sleep to come. She had laid there for almost four minutes before she drifted off to sleep.
When she awoke the next morning she got dressed into her school robes. When she got downstairs she was shocked to see Draco sitting on her couch. "Ready for breakfast?" he asked. "Why of course kind sir" she laughed and walked down her stairs to see him better. She then looped her arm in his and they headed off towards breakfast.
When they arrived downstairs she said that she needed to see Hermione real quick and told Draco she would be there soon. She entered the great hall and she headed straight for the Gryffindor table. She sat right beside Ron and Hermione was right in front of her. "Hermione, I just wanted to come over and offer a baby sitting service for you" she said "If Crookshanks wont let you get your work done then just drop him off by my dorm. He can keep Sophie company and that way you could have a lot of peace." Hermione smiled "awwww, thank you Belle. I need to start getting ready for exams, they are only a few months away"
Belle just laughed "Or if you need a quiet place to study just stop by. Ron can show you how to get there and how to get in. Alright, I need to go and get some breakfast. I will see you all in class" she waved and ran over to Draco. "So how was the weasel?" "Draco, are you always the jelous?" she asked smiling. "Why would I be jelous of the weasel?" She then turned to him. "Are you sure you want to know why?" he nodded so she explained "Your jelous of how his family is poor yet is closer than your rich family. You envy how his parents love him no matter what he does and how they would never hurt him on purpose" She then saw him stare at his plate.
"Draco, I remember the way your father was to you when we were little. I remember seeing your bruises and even healing a few. It was not my choice for you to stay there." Draco then poked a bit of egg around his plate. "It got worse after you left, I missed you and my father hated me showing pain. Any emtional pain I had he gave double in physical pain." Belle felt guilty "Draco, I'm so sorry. Your this way because of me" the thoughts were starting to sink in. "For years I also thought you were to blame. then I realised my father was just a bastard." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran off to get her books.
When she got back to her dorm Sophie was waiting for her. "You like your new home Fia?" she asked the cat. Sophie jumped on the couch and meowed "Does that mean this place is the cats meow?" she laughed and walked back out her door. Ron was about to feed Chloe when she walked out of her dorm. "Hey Ron, ready for class" she said. "Actually I just wanted to ask you something, but afterwards I'll go to class with ya" he said. She noticed that he was sweating a lot and that he was stuttering. "I know my brothers asked you out already and I was just wondering if you would go to the Yule Ball with me."
"Ron, of course I will. I have so many things to shop for this weekend with your brother and a dress will be on the top of my list now" she smiled. "What else do you need?" he asked. "Well top of my list now is a dress for the ball but I wanted to get some new clothes, and I also needed a few things for Sophie." She then laced her arm in his and they began walking to their first class. This class was out by Hagrids hut and she would have gotten lost if Ron hadnt showed her where it was. When she got there Hagrid looked to her "Ah, Ms. Oakes, I was just speaking ter da group 'bout animagi's." Belle then blushed as everybody looked at her. "Would ya care to demonstrate" Hagrid asked.
She then swallowed hard and looked to Ron. He gave her an odd look and stepped away as she closed her eyes and mumbled the spell. When she reopened her eyes the whole class was watching her as the pure white unicorn. Ron went up and started petting her when she turned her head and gave him an odd glance. Then she noticed Draco in the back of the crowd with two larger boys. She then noticed this was them 'He still is around with those boys who hated me' she thought. Hagrid then spoke up "Can anybody tell me what it is that signifies her being an animagi, and not just another unicorn?"
Isabel wasnt at all shocked when Hermiones hand was the first up to answer. "Her eye color hasnt changed to the normal blue of a unicorn." she answered. Hagrid then gave Belle a nod and she turned back into a witch. Ron gave her a smile and Hagrid continued the lesson on animagi forms. Belle knew all of this from her previous year Ms. Tiffany's. Her friends Aly and Chris all used hook off from this class and just take the notes from Aly's boyfriend Nick. I could never understand why she dated him, she said it was only because he gave her good notes.
When class was over Ron and Belle went back to the castle. "Are you coming to the Library to study before lunch?" he asked. "No, I'm somewhat tired from this morning's class" she laughed. "I think I'm going to go and lay down for a bit. Can you get me when its time for lunch please?" she asked. He agreed, then she gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked back to her dorm. She ran up to her bed and just plopped down. She had almost two hours to rest and she was going to relish it. Her dreams soon overtook her and she remembered her days back in America.
Dream: "Belle, get up" Chris yelled. "Yeah come on Belle, lunch starts in fifteen minutes and I want to leave before Nick gets here." she said shaking her. "Thats it" Chris yelled and yanked her cover sending her to the floor. Belle then woke up and started chasing Chris around the room. "I'm going to get you Chris" she yelled before jumping onto his back and knocking him onto and empty bed. Aly then ran over "Pile up!!!!!!" she screamed and jumped on them both. Belle laughed as Chris gasped for breath. The girls then both jumped off him. He dusted himself off and mumbled "figures....."
The girls then looked to each other then Belle spoke up "What are you whining about now Chris" she said as Aly laughed. "It figures that you think attacking me will get me down. Girls attack me all the time" he smirked. Now it was Belles turn to laugh "Turn down the ego stroke Casanova, plus we need to head to lunch" As the two girls waited for Chris to be presentable they started talking about certain things. Chris then ran up behind them and put an arm on each girls shoulders and they walked out of the dorm.
As they were walking down the hall Nick ran up from behind them "Aly can I talk to you" he said pulling her away from the group. Belle and Chris sat back and started talking off the gross things that lunch may be. "If its meatloaf, I'm not staying, last time I-" but he didnt finish as he overheard Aly "Nick its over, truth is I've met somebody else" she said trying to be easy on him. "Tell me who and I'll leave you alone" he said obviously not believe her. Chris then ran up beside her and placed hia arm around her. "She loves me" he said smiling. "You should hear some of our plans, so far we are moving to Switzerland and raise llamas. We are gonna be so happy, and Belle is going to come and visit us in her dingo dog sleds"
They all then laughed as Nick walked off obviously angry. "Chris, I never knew you felt that way" Aly said trying to keep the charade going. Chris then got down to his knees "Aly I love you and will yodel it from the largest sno-capped moutain top" he then laughed and got up as they headed into lunch.
She must have been smiling because when she awoke Ron was smiling at her as he gently woke her. She sat up and bed and smiled back "boy did that time go fast" she yawned. "You look beautiful when you sleep" he said. "awwwww, your too sweet Ron" she replied as she went to move back a piece of hair in her face. He then quickly moved it back and tucked it behind her ear and left his hand cupping her cheek. He then leaned in and kissed her. Belle closed her eyes and enjoyed this kiss. It was tender at first and small but soon grew as he deepend it and moved closer towards her making her lean back on her bed. She was soon laying back on her bed with him on op of her kissing her into passion. He soon broke the kiss and backed off of her and back into a sitting position. Belle too sat up and started to blush. She had no clue on what to say or do. "Um....." she started. "Just wanna go to lunch?" he asked smiling. "Yeah" she smiled and they both ran down the stairs. Sophie was there lying on the couch with Crookshanks "Hermione had me drop him off, you dont mind do you?" he asked. "Nope" she said as they strode out the door.
They walked together down to the Great Hall. When they entered she saig goodbye and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She heard Fred And George both yell "Come on!" so she ran over and gave them both one too. "Can I go have lunch now or do I need to start giving kisses to the whole table?" she laughed. Ron then looked down at the other Gryffindor boys "That was a rhetorical question" he said and all the boys sat down. She laughed again and headed back to her table.
"Belle I'm shocked at you, kissing a Weasley. You should be ashamed of yourself." Draco spat. "You know Draco, I know I've said this before Grow up" she said and sat down in front of him. They were having her favorite for lunch, sausage. Blaise sat down beside her and she had to appreciate that he didnt try and feel her up. "So Blaise, I havent seen you around in awhile. Where have ya been?" she asked putting on a fake smile.
Belle listened to Blaise talk about some 3rd year he shagged and finally had enough. "This really is a great story but I think Draco would like to hear it. He's very crabby so my suspicions are that he hasnt gotten any in awhile" she laughed as Draco's head shot up and gave her a confused look. She laughed again and got up to leave. She spotted Ron also stand up along with Ron and Hermione. Hermione ran up in front of Ron ans tried talking to him about something urgent. She thought she best stay out of it and left for her dorm room.
She loved her room and couldnt wait to show Fia. It was now dinner time and she saw Ron finish and wait for her to stand up to leave. She stood up and walked out of the great hall and smiled when Ron came right out with her. "How was my little angel this afternoon" she asked.
