Asdfghjkl; I got 5 reviews in 7 hours, you guys are fabulous :)

Aslinn's Point of View:

I'd heard James say that he loved me but I knew better than to think that he was in love with me. He was just being a good friend because I needed someone to be there for me, nothing more or nothing less. But then again I needed him more than I needed anything else in the entire world, I needed him to keep me safe. Speaking of keeping me safe…

"Jamie, how am I going to tell Jinx about this? What if he gets mad at me and decides to hurt me again?" I asked, holding onto his shirt collar tightly. "I don't want him to hurt me anymore."

"There's no danger in that happening, Miss Malfoy. I'm having him brought to me by Hagrid and I'm going to see that he gets the punishment that he deserves myself," Professor McGonagall said, nodding her head in James' direction. "Mr. Potter, take her back to the common room. I'm going to give you permission to stay in the boys' dormitory tonight, Miss Malfoy. I figure you'll sleep better if you're with Mr. Potter here."

I nodded before sliding my hand into his and walking towards the door. I figured Roxi was walking behind us and when I felt a hand on my lower back I knew it was her. I dropped James hand and turned around to pull her into a hug.

"I am so sorry for what I said to you earlier today, I feel so bad about it. I was so scared that you were going to figure out what was happening and you weren't going to talk to me anymore," I whispered into her hair. "Do you forgive me?" "It's okay, we all do things that we regret when we're scared," she said. Then she pulled back and held my shoulders at arms length, "The only way I'm going to forgive you is if you stop talking to Jinx completely."

I knew how stupid it sounded but I didn't know if I could do that. As much as he hurt me I still loved him, he'd showed me that I could love someone other than James. I mean I loved James way more but I was still a little bit on the fence about everything.

"Yeah, I can do that," I said, it took all I had to not cross my fingers. Then I turned to James, "Jamie, are you ready to go back to the dorm?"

He smiled and took my hand in his again. I had Roxi's in my other and we were off to the Common Room. On the way there we passed by Jinx and our eyes met across the hall; his were like frozen ice and I felt them chill my blood. James must have felt me shiver because he pulled me closer to him, tucking me into his side. Roxi came up on my other side and they effectively shielded me from Jinx's view.

Once we were in the dorm I felt my tears start to fall down my face. Roxi gave us a nod before slipping up to the girls' dorm. James sat down on the couch and I sat in his lap, crying into his neck. I felt his hands running up and down my back, it wasn't weird and pushy like it was when Jinx did it with James it was comforting and nice.

"Thank you for saving me, Jamie. I don't know what I would do without you," I whispered into his neck, kissing it lightly. "I take you for granted so much, I wouldn't blame you if you never talked to me again."

He pulled my face back and held it tightly in his grip. When I flinched he loosened the grip but kept my face in his hands. He ran his fingers along my cheekbones before saying, "I will never ever get tired of you. Everything about you is complete and total perfection and if anyone tells you different than they're wrong. What do I have to do to make you believe that?"

I just shook my head and looked down at my lap. "You're my best friend and I love you more than anything. I know that you have a girlfriend and I'm sure you're in love with her but I think you need to know that I'm in love with you."

I was too afraid to look up from my lap so I tried to judge his reaction based on his breathing. When it didn't change I looked up and saw that his eyes were trained on something behind me. I was about to turn around when I heard him say, "Please don't say that if you don't mean it. I don't want you to say that because you need someone to love you and figure that I'm the best option."

I sighed before continuing, "I've been in love with you since we were in fourth year. I'm not just saying that because you're close to me or anything I'm just tired of keeping it a secret."

I peeked up at him and all I saw was a blinding smile. "I've loved you since the very first time I laid eyes on you. I was always so scared to tell you because our friendship is so important to me. Poppy and I started 'dating' to make you jealous because you started dating that prick."

I didn't respond to that I just pulled him to me and kissed him. He pulled my hair elastic out of my hair and sent it tumbling down my shoulders. Then he knotted his fingers in it and used it to pull me closer to him.

I ended up straddling his waist and wrapping my arms tightly around his neck. We stayed locked together until someone whistled behind us and we broke apart. Roxi was standing there with her hands on her hips and a bag next to her feet.

"I was being a good roommate and bringing you clothes down and you repay me by face fucking each other? What is that about?" she asked, throwing the bag over to us and turning around to go up the stairs.

I laughed before turning back to face James; he had a look of wonder on it and he was staring straight at me. I smiled before leaning my forehead against his, "Where does this leave us now? Are we together or was this just a fluke?"

A smile that made my heart stop beating sprouted onto his face. "There is no way in Hell that I'm going to let you go now that I have you. You're going to be mine for the rest of my life and way after that."

I smiled before closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. I knew that I needed to get everything out in the open, "I have so much baggage; I'm fat and disgusting. Are you completely sure that you want to be with me?"

He pulled me away from him and made us both stand up. I thought he was going to walk away from me but he just twirled me around and said, "I don't see one thing wrong with you other than your own stupidity and that's even a little cute."

I sighed before pushing on his shoulders. "You're such a dick, why do I talk to you again? Oh yeah, you're absolutely gorgeous and you're pretty intelligent."

He raised his eyebrows as he moved closer to me. I felt him wrap his arms around my waist before his gaze softened and he whispered, "Does it hurt? Do you hurt?"

I nodded, afraid that if I said anything out loud that I would sound stupid. I just leaned my head against his chest and let his heartbeat calm my nerves. I swallowed before whispering, "Can you fix it, Jamie?"

James' Point of View:

Whatever joy I'd been feeling evaporated as she started to sob against my chest. I slid my hands under her thighs and lifted her up onto my hips. She locked her ankles behind my back and her arms around my neck. I picked up her bag from where Roxi left it and made my way up to my dorm.

When I got up there I saw Fred jump up from his bed and run to me, "What happened to her? Is she hurt? We heard Jinx throwing a fit out in the corridor about her being a liar."

Aslinn wormed her way out of my grip and turned to face Fred. He flinched and pulled her into a hug. I saw her flinch slightly but she barely hugged him back and the moment he let her go she ran back to me. I tucked her under my arm and walked her over to my bed.

I pulled the curtains tight around my bed and muttered a silencing charm before turning to her and saying, "Do you want me to leave and let you change or-"

She crossed her arms over her chest and tugged her sweater off. I cringed when I caught sight of the bruises along her ribcage, I clenched my teeth and fists to stop myself from doing something bad. Once she had her jeans off I gave her a questioning look and when she nodded I reached forward and ran a hand over her bruises.

"I swear to God that I'll never hurt you, I'll never lay a hand on you in any way," I whispered. "You've been able to trust me pretty much our entire lives and I don't want you to think that it's going to change because you're my girlfriend."

Her eyes lit up and she launched herself at me. I rubbed up and down her back before laying her down on my bed and slipping out to grab some pajamas. I pulled them on outside of the bed before getting another shirt and getting back into my bed. I tugged Aslinn back up and slid my shirt onto her body,.

She let out a content sigh before going under my covers and pulling me close to her. Her tiny frame fit perfectly against mine and I marveled at how we were made for each other. I'd never really believed in soulmates until this very moment.

Reviews are lovely :)
