"Aah!" Ele's forehead was sweaty and she was breathing rapidly, she looked to her side but no one was there, she was alone, she left George's room to see where he was, there on the couch he slept so peacefully, she went and sat on the floor by George, He was asleep like an angel, his chest raised and dropped slowly, Ele kissed his hand and sat there for a bit. Back in his room, she slid down the door, tears rolled down her cheek and she closed her eyes holding herself.
———————————————
It was very silent in the apartment for the next couple days, Ele was stocking the shelves down in the shop, George was doing paperwork in the back and Fred was talking on the phone with someone.
"HELLO" came a shout from upstairs
Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry came down the stairs
Fred: "What are you four doing here, you're not supposed to be here till tomorrow afternoon"
Harry and Ron's cheeks both grew red and they exchanged looks
Hermione: "Ronald set the oven on fire trying to make a pizza"
Fred: "Of course he did"
Hermione: "Hey"
Ele: "Hi, what's up"
She replied as she continued to put exploding chocolates onto the front shelf, Hermione watched her for a bit
Hermione: "You seem off, is it something to do with George"
Ele: "Uhm, sort of, we've just been going through something I guess, he keeps leaving me alone at night, and he won't talk to me" she rambled on
Hermione: "Have you said anything to him"
Ele: "No"
Hermione pulled her into a hug
Hermione: "Things will get better, trust me" she smiled then walked off
Fred: "Okay well since you guys are here, would you please help with getting things organized"
"Sure" they all chimed together.
———————————————
After a couple hours of hard work the group started to get exhausted
Fred: "Uhm, so guys what do you think about going out for dinner"
Hermione: "That sounds good"
Ron: "I think we should change, you stink Harry" He said as he sniffed his best friend
Ginny: "You two are bloody weird"
The four of them walked upstairs
Fred: "Ele, Eleanore"
Fred came up to her and shook her shoulder
Ele: "Hm" She snapped out of her doze
Fred: "You're acting like a zombie, we're gonna go out for dinner, would you go get your boyfriend" Fred shoved her head and walked upstairs, she stood there in her place looking over to the office where the door was closed, she took a deep breathe in and exhaled.
*knock know*
Ele: "George"
George: "What is it"
he sat there at his desk, his shoulders were tense, his hair was flat and he was flipping through paperwork.
Ele: "We're going out for dinner"
George: "I'm not hungry"
Ele felt her blood starting to boil
Ele: "Are you okay"
This question seemed to catch his attention, He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her
Ele: "Go on, speak up" her voice now becoming pitched
Ele was not too sure why she was getting mad, George hasn't spoken to her much since the night Draco was brought up, he's left her alone at night which made her feel like she was getting pushed away.
George: "I- I don't know" he stood from his seat and walked up to her
He cupped Ele's face with his hand but she pushed away
Ele: "Don't, I want an explanation, you can't just touch me and make it all go away"
He turned away, sitting back at his desk
Ele: "Brilliant" She scoffed and rolled her eyes
George: "Fuck sakes Ele! Would you just SHUT UP" he shouted
She stepped back in shock
George: "I've been staying away from you because you've been killing me" his voice roared
Ele: "What are you talking about George!"
George: "I see the way you've been acting wit-"
Ele: "Are you fucking kidding me, bloody hell, don't tell me this is about Fred!" She shouted back at him
George: "IT IS! I know how you feel for him, I know you want him more"
Ele: "George THATS NOT TRUE, you mean the most to me! You're the one who pulled away, leaving me alone at night, and you think I want Fred more then I want you, I crave you every second of the day, yet you've left me alone to think you didn't want me anymore!"
George sat there, his mouth was partly open, his eyes softened to her words.
Ele: "This is so pathetic" her last words had left her lips, her ears rang, George said nothing but sat there looking at her
She was not going to listen anymore, she turned her heal and left the office and ran out the shop
George: "ELE"
———————————————
The night was freezing, all Ele wanted was to get as far away from the shop as possible, she did not pay attention to where she was going when she had faced knockturn alley, without a thought she entered the chilling pathway, knockturn alley wasn't a pleasant place to be for a young witch, especially one who was alone, It was disturbingly quiet, it was so silent that you could hear a pin dropping onto the ground, she slowed down her pace, her head felt dizzy and she felt sick to her stomach, she stood against a wall to catch her breath, Everything around her went blurry, it felt as though she was walking on a cloud, gripping her stomach as it ached in pain, she could see a faint light, she walked towards it when all of a sudden it started to fade and everything went dark.
?: "Eleanore"

?: "Eleanore can you hear me" a cold hand cupped her face
Ele: "W-what" her voice trembled
?: "Come on"
He helped her sit up and her eyesight cleared up, she was in a dark dusty shop
Ele: "Where am I"
?: "You're in borgin and burke" he spoke
Her eyes filled with worry
Ele: "What's going on!! Who are you" She yelped in panic
?: "Calm down Ele"
She couldn't believe who was by her side
Ele: "Draco"
Draco: "Let's get you out of here" his cold voice was so subtle, he picked her up bridal style and carried her out the shop, It didn't take long till the joke shop came in sight.
Ginny: "Oh my god! Eleanore!!" She came rushing towards them
Draco: "I found her in knockturn alley, passed out"
Ginny: "Here get her in the shop" She had opened the door and let him walk through
He set her down on the steps
Ele: "Where is everyone" She questioned
Ginny: "They went looking for you- I should go warn them you're back"
She walked out the shop and stood in the road, she mumbled a spell that shot red flares into the sky.
Draco: "I should go"
Ele: "Wait" She grabbed his wrist pulling him into a hug... "thank you" she whispered into his ear
George: "Malfoy?"
George was standing in the doorway, his cheeks were almost as red as his flaming hair, his eyes narrowed and his lip twitched
Draco: "Well look who it is"
George: "I'd like it if you'd get your hands off her"
Draco: "Why don't you calm down weasley, I was just bringing her back"
George: "Get the fuck out of my shop Malfoy before I hex you"
The Weasleys and Draco Malfoy were not, well how do you put it, friendly, they both absolutely hated each other, although Draco could not care for how he felt for them, it amused him when he got the weasleys in a fit.
Draco: "You know, dogs are meant to be fed, maybe you should treat yours better" He mumbled as he turned his head to glance at Ele
George: "Don't you fucking talk about her like that!" George's voice grew louder and he pointed his wand at Draco who also drew his wand.
Ele: "stop, please" she groaned as she tried to get up, They both went silent and looked at her in shock
George: "Eleanore" He rushed over to her.. "bloody hell, your face is burning" he placed the back of his hand to her forehead
Fred: "Where is sh- what are you doing here malfoy"
Draco glanced at Fred then back to me, and in a split second, he bolted out the door and apparated away.
