I still don't own HP
I slowed my pace on my way u p to the tower, I knew I was going to be bombarded by the girls as to why I wasn't sitting with them, and why I was sitting with the Ravenclaw captain just hours after my break-up.
After slowly walking for about ten more minutes I reached the Fat Lady, "bogart" I muttered and she swung open. When I stepped through I saw the girls and the twins all sitting in the chairs and couches by the fire.
"Where's Lee?" I asked nonchalantly
"Trying to keep wood from killing your new pal Davis." Retorted Fred with a biting tone
"He has no right to care." I seethed "after all I was only having lunch with a friend who also happens to be a guy where as he fucked another girl"
There was an uncomfortable silence for about twenty seconds before Ali started talking.
"Rose you know we love you, it's just that it seems as if you rebounded a little too fast."
I stared open mouthed at them "you think that because I'm not crying on the outside that I'm not depressed, or a better word for it would be devastated!" I yelled not caring who heard me
"Rosie we didn't mean it like that" interjected George
"No you guys did." I started to feel tears on my cheeks "I found him in bed with another girl! Hours after I told him I loved him! How would you feel?"
"Well I would be up in my bed crying like a baby" responded Angelina
"I would be begging the house elves for ice cream," added Katie
"Well I hide my emotions, I don't want him to see me cry!" I exclaimed turning around so my back was facing them and I wiped the tears.
"Rose" started Fred
"We are soo sorry," continued George
"What can we do?" finished Fred
"Nothing" I responded coolly "I have to do this by myself"
I walked up to our dorm and fell onto my bed and wept for what felt like hours.
When I woke up the next morning I saw that it was 6:00 so I jumped in the shower hoping to wash the tears from last night off me.
Forty-five minutes later I was dressed and staring at myself I the mirror, I had red eyes from crying and I couldn't bring myself to cover them up so I went over and put a note on my bed saying I went down to breakfast, since it was Sunday I allowed my friends to sleep.
When I walked down into the common room I saw only one other person, the one I really did not want to see Wood.
He turned his head hearing the footsteps and when he saw me his expression turned into a pained one.
I went and sat on the couch opposite him and we just looked at each other. When looking at him I saw his eyes, they were red and puffy like mine, but his eyes had bags and dark circles. We were both silent for a few minutes before he started" Growing up in a muggle neighborhood I loved to watch Movies, and our next-door neighbor had a huge movie collection. Anyways we watched this movie, The Way We Were and two main characters broke up. But the girl asked him the guy who she had just broken up with, to come over and comfort her cause he was the best friend she's ever had, so he went over and they comforted one another. Like the friends they were" His voice started drifting off and I saw that his eyes were threatening to spill over.
"So I'm willing to be called a girl if you could just help me through this as my best friend" he pleaded.
I didn't verbally respond but I stood up and walked over to his couch and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped me around him.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I am so so sorry" as I felt a drop of wetness land on my thin shirt.
"It's ok," I whispered back "and Matt's only a friend" As I said the statement I felt his arms tighten around me.
We stayed like that for about ten minutes till I felt him drift to sleep. I laid him down on the couch and summoned a blanket and pillow. I tucked him in and kissed his cheek.
I went and sat in a chair next to the couch when Moonie came down the stairs and hopped onto Wood. He made a little grunt but didn't awake. Moonie curled up in the middle of his chest and fell a sleep.
Maybe there was hope that we could move past this.
About twenty minutes later the twins came barreling down the stairs but stopped dead when they saw Wood sleeping and me in a chair next to him.
"George does this look as weird to you as it does to me?" asked Fred
"Yes, I do believe our little Rose is in the same room as Woody and not killing him." George said with a smirk.
"Damn I lost the bet then" laughed Fred.
I looked up at them with a smirk "A bet on what exactly?"
"Ummm……."trailed off George
At that time Lee came running down the stairs "Hey anyone seen Wo-" he stopped when he saw him "never mind" he finished.
"Guys lets keep it down he just went to sleep like twenty minutes ago" I whispered
"Why don't we just go to breakfast?" suggest Fred
"All righty" I said putting down my book and skipping out of the common room the twins and Lee not far behind.
On our way down we saw Flint walking alone, we looked at one another, a chance like this didn't come up everyday.
"Oi Flint!" shouted Lee
"What do you Gryffs want?" he asked with a menacing tone
"You wound us Flint I thought we were best of friends" teased George
"Yeah well unless she" he pointed at me "wants another captain under her belt I don't really care what you have to say."
The twins lunged at him pressing him so he was against the wall, while Lee held me back.
"Watch what you say Flint" the seethed
"Hey its true, first Wood the Davis all that's left is Slytherin since the Puffs captain is a girl, unless she swings that way too" he taunted.
"Well something tells us that snogging a troll wouldn't really be on her to do list," mocked Lee while strengthening his grip on my arms.
"Well she snogged Wood," he laughed as he pushed the twins' hands off him and walked away.
"I really hate that guy." Muttered Lee
"You and me both" I said with a little laugh.
