HARRY'S INFATUATION
Harry Potter's infatuation on Michaela Wyndham had been around for two months now, and it seems that Harry had tried his very best to talk to her. But with all his efforts, all he ever received from her was a cold shoulder. Harry wasn't going to give up. He had felt something between them… not hostility, but chemistry. Ever since Harry laid eyes on her, he knew that they're meant to be together. Every time he sees her, his heart would give a leap of joy and chills would run down his spine.
It wasn't an ordinary feeling for Harry. He had never felt anything like this before ever since he was born, which was 17 years ago. Even though Michaela never paid any attention on him, he wasn't going to back out. Ginny Weasley, Michaela's best friend, had told Harry that his persistence is severely annoying that Michaela couldn't stand it any longer. Ginny also warned Harry that if he doesn't stop his attempts, Michaela would embarrass him in front of the whole school.
Hermione and Ron have given up helping him. "Maybe she's just not the one for you, Harry. She… she doesn't seem to like you," Hermione had said followed by a sympathetic apology. "You should just give it a rest and look for someone else," Ron had suggested. But Harry wouldn't hear of it. He just couldn't ignore his feelings.
One day, Hermione and Ron approached Harry with a bad news. "Rumor has it, Harry. They're saying that Michaela hates you and you just couldn't accept it that you made her miserable," Hermione informed
"It's just a rumor," Harry replied coolly.
Hermione and Ron wouldn't allow Harry to dismiss it that easily. "Look, Potter, you're making a fool of yourself. Everyone doesn't think that your persistence is romantic. They think, and we think, that your persistence is pathetic," Ron said angrily.
"Think what you want to think, all right? But I'm not turning my back on this," Harry said stubbornly.
Ron cursed under his breath. Hermione said, "Harry, we're just worried about you. We're your friends and we don't want to go against you, but…"
"This has gone so far… too far," Ron finished for her.
"Please, Harry, could you listen to us just for once? We're trying to help you. If you want to make her talk to you, you should think of some other way," Hermione suggested.
After a moment of silence, Harry gave in saying, "All right. I appreciate your concern about me. So for your sake…and perhaps my sake, I'll stop, BUT this isn't the end. I'll think of something else to get her to talk to me."
For the next couple of weeks, Harry had stopped his pursuits on Michaela, but he still couldn't stop thinking about her. When they passed by the halls, he couldn't help giving her a smile. As usual, Michaela ignored him.
One day, Harry went into the library to find a book for an assignment. He came up to a deserted section of the library and heard murmurs behind a big shelf stocked with books. He wouldn't have eavesdropped on the murmurs, but hearing his name being mentioned, he couldn't help himself. He leaned closer to the shelf, got a large book and peeked seeing Michaela and couple of her friends. Harry noticed Ginny wasn't with them. He listened and realized they were talking about Harry.
"I just don't appreciate him always following me or something," Michaela said.
"Michaela, that's the famous Harry Potter you're rejecting. He's a cute hunk, why don't you really like him?" One girl asked. Harry couldn't help smiling.
"I don't know. OK, I have this… I hate boys," Michaela replied hesitantly.
"Why?"
Harry frowned and waited for her to answer. He realized Michaela was irresolute. "Boys are animals that love to play us around. They date us and then they turn up to be jerks cheating behind our backs…"
"Harry?" someone called silently behind him. Harry turned around and saw Ginny looking at him suspiciously.
Harry swallowed a lump in his throat and said as casually as he could, "Ginny, nice to see you again." But Harry's voice betrayed him.
"What are you doing?" Ginny asked still full with doubt.
"I… I was just looking for a book…" Harry lied and looked around.
"Oh, really? Is that the book you're looking for?"
Harry looked down at his hand and saw the book he picked up from the shelf. "Yes!" He replied with relief.
"Can you move aside please?" Ginny asked. Harry tried to distract her, but Ginny was too serious to fall into his diversion. "Just as I thought!" Ginny exclaimed. "Looking and eavesdropping… again…"
"I can explain everything," Harry said.
"I can too, judging from what I've seen," Ginny replied.
"Ginny? Is that you?" Michaela asked from the other side.
"Please?" Harry begged kneeling down at Ginny. "Please? Please don't…"
Ginny pitied him disbelievingly and replied to Michaela, "Yes, it's just me."
"I thought I heard you talking to someone," Michaela said.
"Oh, that was nothing. I was just talking to… myself about choosing a book," Ginny said with disgust at the thought of her talking to herself.
"Oh, OK," was her reply. "Come here for a moment. I want to show you a book."
"OK, give me a second," Ginny said and stared at Harry who was still kneeling down. Harry stood up happily.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Harry said and without thinking, he gave Ginny and hug and kissed her lightly on her cheek before running away with a book.
