Hello chapter twenty-one guys!
Chapter twenty-one: Castor's POV
After much fussing and complaining she finally let me go, Madam Pomfrey finally allowed for me to walk away from my bed and through the doors into sweet sweet freedom. I gave a little smile as I left the hospital wing, Fred and George both slapped me on the back and I groaned slightly, my weak body wasn't able to take their strength. They just smiled at me while Neville grinned.
"So I guess we should all be getting to class right?" Neville smiled. Fred and George looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads, "You can go… we don't feel like it." They said together, I grinned at their antics, sometimes the twins were just too much to handle. Suddenly the corridors began to fill up with students and both Neville and I gawped while the twin's just fist bumped each other.
"Wait… its break already?" I asked confused.
"Don't sound so upset about it… for once Madam Pomfrey's insane fussing has actually paid off," Fred grinned.
"Ummm," I whispered burying my head in the floor of the corridor, now I wouldn't just have to deal with my class, I once again would have to take on the whole student body.
"Hey, don't worry you've got us now," George smiled.
"Yeah and those two are amazing beaters so I really wouldn't want to mess with them," Neville grinned.
Fred and George began to stride forward with Neville and I followed them, "SUSPECTED DEATH EATER COMING THROUGH! MOVE IT! BABY PHYSCO'S ON THE LOOSE!" Fred and George grinned together, I rolled my eyes and folded my arms over my chest. I had to admit though, them making fun of the whole situation did make me remember how ridiculous everyone was being and that made me feel better.
Lots of kids did move though and that made my smile fall, how could they see this tall awkward lanky thing as a threat? I pushed my glasses up as I saw a smiling blonde skipping towards us.
"You know… I missed pudding yesterday and I… I just don't feel right," she sighed as I took her hand and locked my arms around her, I was so happy to see her, she made everything okay.
"Well I'm sure you can get something today and all the balance will be restored to the world," I laughed, pecking her gently on the cheek. She frowned slightly.
"Did something happen… you weren't attacked by nargles were you?" I didn't like seeing her frown, seeing worry in her eyes, it made me worry because she was worried.
"I… I got into a fight, some older kids," I sighed hanging my head. Madam Pomfrey had wanted to use magic to remove any trace of injury but I saw no point, it would just mean even longer spent in the hospital wing and that was something that you could not pay me to do.
Luna lifted my head with her hands and cupped my cheeks in her palms, she smiled and kissed me before wrapping her arms around me and burying her head into my chest, "I'm glad you're okay. I love you."
"Love you too," I smiled, kissing her blonde head. She hugged me closer as I did the same.
"I'm glad you guys aren't idiots like everyone else," Luna growled thinking of all the other students, she could almost tell that I was getting anxious thinking of them so she squeezed my hand to reassure me and calm me down before I exploded and did something drastic like… well it was me so runaway and cry in a corner.
"Awww George, she called us and Neville non-idiots!" Fred grinned happily.
George smirked continuing for him, "I know… at least they managed to separate their faces for long enough it was getting… awkward," Neville burst out laughing at this, getting a few 'looks' from the other students. I could almost hear them whispering in the shadows about how Neville and the twins were talking to me… everyone was incredibly shocked about Neville but I mean… it was Neville. One of the nicest, forgiving people that I had the pleasure to know so they shouldn't have really been up in arms about it being Neville of all people who was talking to me.
"Castor and I are just very happy…," she stopped and looked at me with a wicked grin, "Cas I want to dance."
I raised an eyebrow while Fred and George looked at each other in amusement, Neville just giggled into his hand.
"Well then Luna, go for it!" I yelled with joy, although this time she didn't mean ballroom, she just began to twirl around with her hands above her head.
"Luna… what?" Neville grinned, I put my hand on his shoulder and smiled.
"Don't be alarmed, she does this all the time… it's pretty awesome actually… I don't have those kind of moves," I laughed as Luna continued to twirl around in her uniform, she ignored the mutters of Loony Lovegood. I wished that I could be like her… not let anything affect me.
She stopped and came to stand happily in front of me, "Well that was fun… I think I even managed to bat away a few nargles in the process," Luna smiled.
"Nargles aren't real," Fred laughed, I sighed, apparently my signals to not bring up this argument had failed and Luna gawped.
"Just because there isn't any evidence yet doesn't mean there not real!" She sighed.
"Did… did Luna Lovegood just get angry?" George asked.
Luna laughed and shook her head, "No, no… I only get angry on very rare occasions like… when someone's insulting Cas," she smiled.
"AWWWW… One second… no none of us wish to hear about yours and Castors romance," Fred sighed.
I shook my head as Luna did the same, "You did ask the question. You should only ask something if you're prepared to hear the truth," Luna finished. I smiled at her words of wisdom, she really was a true Ravenclaw.
"Smart words," Neville smiled, "Wish everyone else would just believe the truth about Castor." I folded my arms, that was a pretty big wish of mine. What was it about me, my devilish smirk? My glaring eyes… I shook my head, no it was just my bloody heritage.
"Don't we all… how can people be so blind and narrow minded? They have no proof that Castor's dark yet they go off some stupid idea that they built up in their heads!" Luna scowled, throwing up her hands. I saw Fred and George look at each other and I knew exactly what they were going to say.
"Sounds like the nargles," Fred laughed into his hand, George and even Neville gave out a little chuckle too, I smiled but said nothing.
"What?" Luna asked innocently, a broad smile on her beautiful face.
"Nothing nothing," George replied.
"I have to agree though, it's just stupid! We all know you're nothing like your mum and dad!" Neville nodded.
"Yeah… everyone else are just idiots… you can't help the fools can you Fred?" George grinned, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"No George you can't… but do you know what we could do?" Fred grinned. I knew that whatever the orange twin was thinking it couldn't be good, I sighed and shook my head but the enthusiasm on Fred's happy face was so infectious that I couldn't help but grin at whatever he and soon no doubt George were planning.
"Do pranks!" George yelled in excitement. Fred nodded and I buried my head in my hands… I should have known.
"No! No pranks guys… I'm sure that injuring people isn't going to help anything," I said, Fred and George immediately put on their 'this is unfair' faces.
"B-But… it wasn't going to injure anyone… seriously…," Fred sighed, his eyes were all sad and I had to admit I did feel slightly bad for ruining their excitement and being a buzz kill.
"Maybe just… you know… break their legs at most," George sighed.
"And that's not a serious injury to you two?" Neville laughed. The twins shrugged as I grinned, there certainly wouldn't be any pranks… at least not like that. I felt something hit my head and I groaned, I turned around to see that some fool had thrown a small rock at my head.
"GO BACK TO YOUR DARK MAGIC BOOKS FREAK! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE! NOT WHEN YOU'LL JUST LEAD YOUR EVIL PARENTS TO US!" A boy screamed at me, I noticed that he was backing away and was flanked by about six friends who were all in fits of laughter so he wasn't really that brave.
"Oh really? Last time I checked I'm not going mother and father come and kill all my fellow students… look here's a map to each ones house," I sighed folding my arms.
"I BET THAT'S EXCATLY WHAT YOUR DOING!" One of his friends growled and I had to shake my head at their idiocy… the fact that so much sarcasm had been in my voice made what they were saying just stupid. "HAVING YOU HERE IS A MISTAKE! A TOTAL CRYSIS!"
I laughed, "Yeah isn't it? Its right next to poverty and murder… oh why don't I see if some crappy pop groups written a song about me yet?"
"THAT'S JUST WHAT YOU WANT! TO MURDER US FREAK!" Another yelled.
"Get out of here you idiots!" Fred, George, Neville and Luna replied as I felt a slight sense of happiness flooding through me, the four of them cared for me and wanted to protect me. It was all okay, I had Luna by my side and I had… I had friends.
Then, then the bell rang… lessons. Students in a classroom… nowhere to run… no one to help me. Crap.
Okay thanks guys! I hope you like it, please remember to review it really helps me. I'm listening to Shrek music… I don't know why…
