Spawn of Azkaban

Chapter Twenty-Four

Song for the chapter: Secret Love Song-- Little Mix ft. Jason Derulo

Bianca spent the remainder of the day working on her homework. There wasn't much left because she'd already been dedicating most of her free time to getting it done. When she finished it, she decided to write in her journal. She still wrote in it occasionally, but lately, her therapy sessions had been about Cassie. Bianca decides to write a long entry about the boy who had been in the back of her mind for weeks.

All the things I wanted to say but never did

Bianca pours her heart out, she doesn't censor herself, she doesn't hold back. The only way to work through these feelings was to put them all out there. Maybe one day she could give it to him and he would understand like he always does. He would know that Bianca wasn't trying to be cruel and she missed him. She missed him more than anything in the world.

Bianca didn't regret kissing him though, as selfish as it was. When she kissed George she felt truly alive for the first time in a long time. Yes, she'd had several happy moments with her friends, but they were nothing compared to when her and George's lips connected. It felt like she was seeing color for the first time. Everything was perfect, everything finally made sense. Which made Bianca all the more frustrated, why couldn't it be like that all the time? Bianca rests her head on the journal in distress.

The door creaks open and Bianca looks up quickly. She had been crying so she quickly wipes her face. A familiar ginger-haired boy enters the room. He looks just as sad as Bianca, and he has deep purple rings under his eyes.

"Missed you today in Hogsmeade," George says coming to sit next to her on the bed. "I've missed you a lot since New Year's actually."

Bianca gives him a watery smile. "I've been trying to give you space," she admits hiding behind her hair.

"Well, Miss Lestrange, space is the last thing I want from you," George says reaching to tuck the piece of hair behind her ear. "No more hiding okay?"

Bianca nods slowly. Her eyes meet George's and she can't help but smile. She really has missed this boy. "George, I'm so sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. We're okay Bianca, we're like magnets, we'll just keep gravitating back to each other," George says moving his hand from the side of her face down her cheek gently. He stops under her chin, his eyes dart down to her lips for a second before looking back into her eyes.

"Oh come here," she says letting all of her inhibitions go. She closes the distance between their lips. They crash together in a mixture of passion and longing. His lips are as soft as last time but more aggressive. They move with hers in perfect harmony.

"Bianca!" a voice calls. Bianca opens her eyes to see that she is still laying in her bed. She lifts her head which had been stuck to a page of her journal due to her tears. Her heart sinks as she realized it was all a dream. Juniper is standing above her with her arms crossed. "Where were you today?"

"I had a lot of homework to get done," Bianca replies groggily grabbing her journal and holding it up to show Juniper. She sits up in her bed and stretches.

"Bullshit, all you've been doing is homework," Juniper says sounding angry. "What's going on?"

"Not right now Juni," Bianca says sadly leaning back against the wall. She was tired and sad from her dream. She didn't have the energy to get into a fight with another one of her best friends.

Juniper's face softened as she saw Bianca looking exhausted. She frowns as she comes to sit next to the girl. "Are you okay Bee?"

Bianca leans her head on Juniper's shoulder. Juniper's blond curls tickle Bianca's cheek but Bianca doesn't mind. She was just happy the girl was here to comfort her. "I'm fine."
