Chapter 5: Weird Feeling.
Deyanira fell on her knees, breathless and weak. She gasped to find air and fill her lungs again. Her legs got her body up, trembling and her eyes filled with tears. Fred and George were just coming up the stairs with their hands full of sweets and their mouths chew some inside. The door of the girls' bathroom opened, making them freeze and look to who else was wondering around. They saw Deyanira, closing the door behind her, in her pajamas, and rest on the door. Her nose was red and she sniffed a few times. George kept looking at her, wanting to go and he felt a push on his back by Fred's elbow.
"Go on", Fred said with a grin before walking away
George looked how his back kept going up and he took a deep breath when he looked at her again. She was looking down, still sniffing and with her body vended, looking weak. He gave a few steps into the corridor, making her look and stand straight, letting out a little gasp, thinking she was caught.
"It's just me", he said with a smile and got closer, "you alright?"
"…yeah. Just got a…really bad um…headache."
"Oh, well, see if this helps"
He stretched his free hand with a bag of chocolates inside and she gave a chuckled as she took it.
"Thanks"
"You seem…off? Something I can help you with?"
"…no. It's ok."
"You sure? It looked like it was more than a headache."
"Yeah, really…we should go if we don't wanna get caught."
"Like we're doing anything bad. Just hanging by the empty girls' bathroom at night", his smile turned into a devious smirk, making her laugh
"Exactly. We should go"
She gave the first step and he followed gladly. They entered the common room and she sat on the couch and opened the bag of chocolates. George headed to the stairs, but when he looked back, he saw her, all alone, looking at the fire as a piece of chocolate rested on her lips. The light of the fire lighted up her face, making her look calm and in peace. She looked better than when he found her in the bathroom. He looked to the path of stairs, thinking the guys were counting on him to get the rest of the sweets. 'They have enough with what Fred got' he thought as he went down the two stair cases he had gone up and walked to the couch. Deyanira's head looked at him as he placed all the sweets beside her and sat beside the bunch and took some jelly beans and looked at her.
"Maybe just some sweets is all you need", he said with a smile and she sent him a half one.
She was just waiting until he left so she could head to Harry's dorm, she felt too weak to apparate, but something about his company made her not say anything so he would stay.
"So", she said with a grin, "what do you do when you're not pranking?"
"Quidditch"
"Not surprised. What position?"
"Beater, with Fred"
"So you two are the unstoppable beaters?", she said with a raised eye brow and he chuckled
"Do you play?"
"I have. Just your usual…backyard game."
"Well, we should meet in the field one day and see what you really have"
"It is on, then"
Both chuckled before going onto the next subject. They talked about anything they could think of, from the most stupid stuff, to their dreams. George enjoyed watching her smile, how it turned down the flames with its shine. Her eyes twinkled in the dark and the shivers from her stare didn't stop. He felt his lips trembled every time he was about to speak. He never was ashamed of his jokes, but every time he did one around her, he would go over and over in his head how lame it was, but her laugh would fade those thoughts away. Deyanira felt her memories fading, the bad ones. She felt her anger going down and her laughs were real. She felt her eyes shined more than usual and the corner of her lips hurt from smiling so much. She just couldn't stop. After hours of talking, both agreed it was time to go to bed. Deyanira went up the girls' stairs first, but he stayed watching her path for a reason he couldn't understand. After he left, she went down again and walked up to her room. Harry was resting on his bed, with half of the cover on his body and half on the floor, and the Marauders' Map on his chest, opened and working. She just smiled with a shook of her head and went to bed.
"What happened?", Harry asked the next morning after both were dressed, "I woke up and didn't saw you. When I looked up on the map, you were coming in the common room with George", Harry couldn't help sending her a grin as she took a sip of the potion
"Nothing.", she said, putting the bottle down, "I got an attack in the middle of the night, went to the bathroom so I wouldn't wake anyone, and he saw me when I got out. I stayed in the common room to wait until he left so I could go up, but he stayed and we chatted."
"Hm", Harry raised his eyebrow and she shook her head with a sigh
"Shut it"
"I haven't said anything."
"You're thinking it", she said, turning around to leave
Harry chuckled as he started to walk, following her. When they got out of the room, Deyanira apparated, leaving him to go down alone and she went down the girls' stare cases.
"Are you alright, mate?", Ron asked as soon as he went down and Harry looked at him confused, "I mean…since school started, you haven't been sleeping in the dorm"
"He hasn't?", Hermione asked, arriving
"And your things are gone too."
"Oh, um…Dumbledore asked me to stay in Hagrid's hunt, to watch over Fang and some other stuff."
"What?", Hermione snapped, "isn't that kind of dangerous?"
"I don't think so. Kind of calm, actually. I have this huge bed to myself."
"Don't you want company?", Ron asked, worried for the same reasons
"I'm alright. Really"
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, not too convinced.
"And you?", Hermione looked at Deyanira, "if you're in fifth year, why aren't you in my same dorm?"
"Since I was kind of an out of nowhere addition, there was no room so he put me with the third years"
Hermione just gave a little nod, Deyanira's story was more believable. Harry was impressed on how well she came up with a story. Dean and Seamus were passing by, laughing and on their usual. When Seamus looked at Deyanira, making her turn to him, along with the trio. Dean noticed the sudden change in his friend, and he looked to Deyanira too, then back at him. Seamus just looked at her with fear as he walked slowly. Deyanira looked at Harry and back at Seamus again. He just turned around quick and kept walking. Dean followed, worried and curious of what had happened.
"What's his problem?", Ron said, looking at Deyanira, who wasn't too calm about it
"He is Irish, right?", she asked, kind of low
"Yeah, why?", Hermione said, and Deyanira realized it was a bad idea to have asked that out loud
"…I'm good when it comes to guessing people's heritage.", she said looking at the trio, "I'm hungry"
"Me too"
"Not surprised", Hermione said to Ron who chuckled
The three of them went down to have breakfast, forgetting what had just happened.
"You ok, Georgie?", Fred asked, sitting on the bed beside his sleepy brother, still in his pajamas, "you always get up before me"
"…I feel weird, Freddie"
"Weird how?"
"First of, I'm tired."
"Yeah, what were you doing that you didn't come to bed after me?"
"…talking with her."
"Oh", Fred grinned, "is that why you feel weird?"
"…I couldn't really sleep after. She kept showing up in my mind…stupid girl", he said with a chuckled, a tired chuckled, along with a smile
"Is my Georgie in love?"
"…no."
"Why don't you admit you fancy her?"
"…Because I don't."
"Get up of bed, you lying git!", Fred said as he got up and shook him while he groaned
"How can I fancy a girl I just met?"
"I don't know. Either way, you said you talked to her last night, you had a really good chance to meet her well"
"I did", a grin appeared on his face, "we talked about everything. We even shared our dream jobs."
"And…what's hers?"
"She wants to become a writer and travel"
"Hm. Not bad. She can make our book, one where will give away our secrets to success", George gave a chuckled as he saw his brother's eyes shining with the sight of their future, "why don't you ask her out?"
"No way. I can't just go trough with this."
"Georgie, I know why you do this…forget what happened in the past. She is someone else."
George stayed in silence, with his eyes avoiding contact with his twin, he didn't want Fred to know the reason behind his denial. Denial? Did he really liked Deyanira then?
"I'm over that, Freddie, plus is stupid", he said and covered his head with the sheets, "go, I'll be down in a few minutes", he groaned and Fred chuckled as he got up and left
