Adrienne had gone back to Hogwarts after she and George had fought, and she hadnt heard from him since. It was almost a week later and he hadnt written, visited, or anything. Adrienne was sat on the outskirts of the forest, leaning against a tree. She had hardly done anything since she had been back at school. She had smiled at laughed at the appropriate moments, but her spark was gone. All she knew was that every morning she woke up and rolled over, and when she didnt see George the pain of not having him hit her again. It hurt her to know that it wasnt the same for him. But she couldnt be the one to go crawling back, not agian.

George had been on the brink of going back to Adrienne so many times that he felt like he was a walking bungee cord. It wasn't his pride keeping him from going to her, not this time. It was more than that. Something that not even he could understand. He didn't know what it was, or why it had come up, but George just didn't feel like he was what Adrienne needed. The pain of pushing her away had hurt more than she could ever know and, if he went back to her, George knew that it would only get worse for him. For the both of them.
He was on the edge of the castle grounds, not knowing what he was doing there exactly, but pretty sure about what had drawn him there. It was for a glimpse of Adrienne, if nothing else, that George had wandered so far from his home. He finally noticed her near the forest, after spending nearly all week coming to and leaving the school grounds as he did. Not sure if he should go over to her, but knowing that he couldn't put anything off any longer, George went to sit beside her, before he could change his mind. "We need to talk," he said quietly, by way of greeting.

Adrienne looked up as she heard someone approching, and was more relieved to see George then she ever had been before. "George," she said, turning to face him before he could even start. "Im sorry, Im sorry about everything." She fought tears as she thought she had come so close to loosing him. "I know I've said before that I would never hurt you again, or do anything like this again... and I have... Im sorry, I wont, not anymore... Ill stay in school, I wont fight, I wont say anything about it..." she didnt want to fight with him anymore, and she didnt want to loose him.

George let out a breath and shook his head. "Adrienne, you didn't do anything wrong. Really. I'm the one who kept starting all these little fights, and for what? It only made you mad at me, and I hate that. Almost more than I hate us not being us but....I don't want you to just sit around and 'be a good girl' just because I think that's what's right for you. I know you're not like that, and I wouldn't want you to change so much about yourself just to make me happy. I'm sorry for saying the things I did to you. I don't know what I was thinking and, even if you asked me, I can't give you a good reason for what I did. The last thing I want to do is push you away right now, as you're the most important thing I could ever want but...that's all I seem to be doing lately," he said, turning his face away as she looked like she was going to cry. It would only hurt George more to see what he'd truly done to her, the way he'd really hurt Adrienne, and he had enough trouble staying seated as it was.

Adrienne shook her head. "No, George, I always do this... you were right. And when you said that... that picking people up when I feel like it is more my thing... I know Ive messed up so much in the past and you've never..." he had taken her back every time... but sometimes it felt like he hadnt forgiven her. "And it upsets you that I want to fight... so I promise I wont..." she knew that what he had said hadnt come from no where, and he couldnt erase it in a few minutes. But she loved him and thought the world of him and could never loose him. If doing this meant that one day he would forgive her for everything, and think of her the way she thought of him... then she would do anything.

George shook his head again, but turned back to Adrienne. "I like that you want to fight, but I don't want you to. I know that I can't prevent you from doing what you want, ulitmately you'll have to fight, but I'd rather if you tried to stay out of trouble right now. I'm not really saying you go looking for it, but sometimes things are better left alone, you know?" he looked down at his hands, folded on his knees, and shrugged. "I don't have any control over you. When the time comes, I know you'll fight, but I'd just rather you not have to do any of it sooner than that," he said. Though he wasn't sure where he was going with this, or where he wanted to go even, George just knew that all he wanted right now was to love Adrienne. It hurt him sometimes, because he knew by the way she looked at him that she didn't think he loved her as much as she loved him. And vice versa. If he could only make Adrienne see what she really meant to him...but wasn't he doing that by trying to keep her safer longer? "I don't want to hinder you," he whispered.

"You dont." Adrienne said. She didnt know what to do anymore... she didnt want to loose him, but if she carried on the way she was, she knew she would. And he didnt want her to do the only thing she could think of to make it better. At least he was looking at her now. She didnt know what to say, she didnt want to say the wrong thing. Instead she said nothing, but she made a silent promise not to hurt George again, and to do whatever it took to do that. She couldnt just forget what he had said. At the end of the day, he wanted her not to fight, and not to talk about it or argue about it... so thats what she would do.

"Maybe not right now, but I might. Someday," he said, shrugging again. With everything happening as it was, the world falling apart around them, George sometimes wondered if Adrienne wouldn't be happier somewhere else, with someone else. He was being pessimistic, alright, but it was kind of difficult for anyone to be otherwise these days. However, he vowed to not be that way again with Adrienne. He knew that the time until the fight came might be their last chance to have each other, so he was going to take advantage of that. Very awkwardly, as if doing it for the first time ever, George put his hand slowly around Adrienne's waist. He decided that now was as good as a time as any to start showing her how she really meant to him, to let her know that he wouldn't start fights anymore, and that he wouldn't speak to her of anything negative.

Adrienne moved closer to George as he wrapped his arm around her, trying not to feel hurt as he was so hesitant. She wrapped her arm around him, resting her head on his shoulder, though once she had she thought that he might not want her to. She held back her tears as she realised that their relationship wasnt what it used to be. But she wouldnt mess up agian. She wouldnt do anything to upset him agian.

George sighed with relief, not sure why he'd expected her to shy away from him. He smiled slowly and kissed the top of her head, glad to finally feel her in his arms again. This is how it should always be, he thought. Just the two of them, holding each other and not worrying about anything. "I love you, Renne," he whispered, his free hand touching her cheek lightly, turning her to face him.

Adrienne looked up at George, her eyes shining with tears. "I love you too." she said, truthfully. She felt like she still had more to say to him, that their relationship still needed work... that sometimes he didnt treat her the way she treated him, and she thought it was because he never fully forgave her. But she remembered the promise she had just made and bit her tongue. It would just upset him... she could live with it and stay quiet. It was a million times better then loosing him. If it meant they could just stay like this...

George's smiled turned easy when he saw the tears in her eyes, and he wiped them away slowly, his hand soft on her face. He hated to see her in any kind of pain, and it was worse when he knew he had caused it. All because he was being stupid and stubborn. "It'll get better, I promise," he whispered, pulling Adrienne into a full hug as he wrapped both his arms around her.

Adrienne wrapped her arms around George and held him tightly. "I know..." she said, quietly. Tears came back to her eyes even as he wiped them away, just that gesture making her realise how much she loved him. She loved him so much it hurt. "Just... please dont leave me..." she didnt want him to ever leave her... even if he thought it was best.

"I wont. I promise....I wont," he whispered. If it would keep Adrienne from hurting, if it would help to make things right, George would do anything for that. Leaving her was the last thing he wanted to do, he realized that now, and he hoped that she knew it. He knew that they could work through this properly, until things were the way they used to be, even with the war going on around them.

Adrienne buried her face in Georges neck, and held back her tears. She was so overwhelmed by what she was feeling, but it was mixed with sadness, and the only way to get rid of it was to hold George tighter, and loose herself in him. She would never leave him, she could never leave him. She loved him more then her life... when he wasnt around she could hardly draw breath. And even though it hurt her to love that much, she had never been happier then when he was happy.
