And here it is, not 5 minutes later. Well, I'm beginning writing this chapter not 5 minutes later, but I'm sure it'll take more than 5 minutes to write... anywho...
Chapter 6: Confronting Parvati
The next month, two months, three months... Gabrielle lost track because it was utter bliss having someone like Seamus who seemed to just get her. You know? Someone to understand, to be the shoulder to cry on when she and Fleur got in yet another fight.
"Don't get me wrong, i love her... deep down..." Gabrielle explained one night when Seamus was over at her little house. They were sitting on the couch, her head nestled on his shoulder, his arm slug around her shoulders, drawing her into him.
"Well, all siblings are like that. Why does she bother you so much, again?" Seamus asked. Gabrielle sighed and replied, "She's just... Fleur. Never gets into trouble, never does anything wrong, perfect in every way..."
She trailed off as Seamus looked down at her, frowning. "But you're perfect in every way."
Gabrielle let a whispery laugh escape her lips. Seamus sighed. He loved her laugh.
"Not really," was her response.
"Yes really!" Seamus argued. Then, blushing, he looked at the ground. "You're perfect to me, anyways."
Gabrielle laughed again. Even at age 24, Seamus still got nervous like a little boy. Gabrielle snuggled closer to him. He now placed his head on top of hers. Suddenly a silver leopard leaped into the room. It opened it's mouth, and a voice issued from it. "Urgent call from the ministry, report at once," it said in a deep voice.
As the patronus disappeared, Seamus sighed and got up from the couch. Gabrielle stood with him, and he pulled her into a quick kiss before wishing her goodnight and leaving to go for his urgent call.
Gabrielle sighed with a smile. It was that easy now. Kiss goodbye, see you soon, peaceful dreams... her own perfect little world.
The bubble of serenity was popped, however, by the actual sound of a pop and the appearance of Parvati in her living room.
Gabrielle gaped at her, open mouthed and shocked. What was this girl doing in her house?!
"How do you know where I live...?" asked Gabrielle hesitantly as Parvati got her bearings and examined the small living room with a scrutinizing eye.
"Seamus talks in his sleep," she replied absentmindedly, tilting her head at a picture of Gabrielle and Seamus on the table beside the couch.
This girl was with him when he slept? Parvati... stayed with him? Gabrielle thought to herself.
"And what, may I ask, are you doing here, then?" Gabrielle continued, trying not to sound utterly shocked.
"I'm here to warn you again, my darling. Seamus can't be trusted. He's a greedy boy," she added with a snarky grin.
Gabrielle's eyes narrowed. "Well I trust Seamus. And it's time for you to leave."
Gabrielle ushered Parvati out the door as Parvati attempted vainly to convince Gabrielle that Seamus was anything but the boy she knew.
As Parvati walked away from the cottage, Gabrielle shouted after her, "You won't be missed!" before heading back inside.
Something was off with this girl's relationship with Seamus. And that boy had better have some explanations.
Woah, girl drama! R&R dudes, and I'll try and update ASAP!
