~Outbursts~

Bella walked along the dark corridor, her heels clicking on the tiles as she suddenly became aware of the second pair of footprints echoing behind her.

Glancing over her shoulder she saw a silhouette of a large man, walking considerably fast behind her.

Tightening her grip on her wand she turned the corner, waiting behind a suit of armour, she was a woman and was sadly used to these sorts of situations.

"I'm not a creep Malfoy, don't hex me."

"I hate you," Bella said, knowing their voice immediately as she approached him, her arms crosses and a frown etched deep into her features.

George cocked his head, a smirk playing on his lips, "Oh really? I hadn't figured," he chuckled, "I just wanted to thank you teach, our sessions are going to be really fun, assuming you've taken up the job because you're a total suck-up."

Fury coursed through Bella but she stayed calm, "Well at least I could actually pass my O.W.L.S," she said sweetly, "Oh and I'm not sure if Mcgonagall told you but our sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays from four until dinner."

Satisfaction coursed through her as he saw his dismayed look, "Wow, you really are a complete bitch, I really thought there was hope," he chuckled.

"And I thought there was hope that you weren't a complete idiot but-"

Her voice was muffled by George's large hand clamping over her mouth and pulling her back behind the suit of armour.

Shocked she stood there, not noticing the dim lantern light coming from down the corridor.

Wrenching herself away from his grip she exclaimed, "What the fuck! Don't touch me you-" "And what are you doing in the corridor after-hours missy?"

Fuck.

"I just had a chat with Professor Mcgonagall about school stuff so if you'd just let me off the hook-" "Confundo."

With a lazy flick of his wand, George struck Filch with a Confundus Charm making his eyes go glazed and glossy.

"I'll see you tomorrow Malfoy," he winked, heading towards the staircases, "You could have warned me!" she yelled after him, throwing her hands up in exasperation.

"I thought me grabbing you and pulling you away from the corridor was obvious enough smartass," he said sweetly, a fake smile plastered on his face.

"Oh I just thought you really liked me, Georgie," she snapped back, her voice laced with venom, "Not at all Bella boo," he cooed, stepping closer to her and lifting her chin with the tip of his finger.

"I mean you're hot but not my type," he grinned, looking down at her, "I prefer a girl who isn't a complete bitch."

Pulling away she scowled, "Well even if you did I have a boyfriend...so yeah," she exclaimed, sounding a little dazed, looking at her feet, a blush heating up her cheeks.

"Good for you love."

Bella woke up tangled between the sheets, Adrien's hands firmly wrapped around her waist and his head buried in the nook of her neck.

"Morning love," she whispered, wriggling out of his grip and stretching her arms in the air, arching her back like a cat.

She was in a short black singlet and a pair of grey sweatpants she had borrowed from her boyfriend who was whining for her to come back.

"Baby, just five more minutes," he groaned his eyes screwed shut as she gathered her things, "Nope, I have class and you do too, up."

After a few more minutes of complaining Bella finally managed to drag him out of bed and in that timespan she had already gotten her things together, gotten dressed and done her hair.

"You are too efficient for your own good," Adrien grumbled, pulling his cotton shirt over his head, "See you after school," he added, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Ooh, about that, I have a tutoring thing on this afternoon and I'm hanging out with Cho this afternoon but tomorrow's Saturday so I'm all yours," she grinned, fixing his tie.

"The tutoring thing with Weasley?" he asked, his brow arching, "Yes, sadly I have to see him twice a week now," she said, a look of dismay on her face, "But I will make time for you, I promise."
