-1Secrets

There was just something about these two that made people shiver, they knew something was going on behind everyone's backs but no one could actually say because they thought they were always wrong.

It was the way these two acted around each other; they way that every time they were fighting and someone was watching them and then turned round they stopped and were talking as they normally did. Everyone thought this was really strange, when they started to fight they never stopped and it usually carried on weeks on end, but recently once they were fighting it was only for a few minutes.

What everyone thought it was it wasn't, it was something completely different.

Although when they fight they acted like they mean it, but when they stopped the atmosphere just wasn't the same.

Something is happening between Draco Malfoy and Amanda Dumbledore, and Harry Potter is determined to find out.

Chapter 1

Back To School

It was just another normal day for everyone. Getting on the train, getting off, putting their stuff down so it magically appeared at their beds, getting dressed and then going to the Great Hall. Everyone was chatting about what their summer was like, what they did and if anything exciting had happened, just the usual. But as always nothing exciting happened to Harry.

He still had that look, hair slightly long and scruffy; shirt untucked and tie done loosely, just the same old Harry really, but there was something that Harry didn't usually do. Whilst Ron and Hermione, his two best friends, were telling him about their summer like they always do, Harry wasn't concentrating. He was more interested in what Amanda was doing.

Amanda was one of those girls who was perfect in everyway and of course all the girls hated her, except her best friend Hermione. Amanda wasn't a normal student, she was Albus Dumbledore's daughter. So Amanda didn't just go to Hogwarts for the whole school year, she lived there and was really happy about it too.

Amanda is a very pretty girl, long brown hair, green eyes and a perfect smile that all the boys loved, some people would get her mixed up with a Veela because she was so beautiful, but she's always said how thankful she was not being one. All the boys love her, all the girls hate her, but as long as she had her real friends she was fine.

Of course Harry had a little crush on her but who didn't? Amanda was perfect because, along side her looks, she had the greatest personality as well. She's very kind and helpful to anyone who needed it, and always has a smile on her face. Ron had a crush on her too but didn't tell anyone, Harry kind of figured it out when Ron wouldn't stop staring at her all the time and Hermione would roll her eyes as always and go to talk to her when she got annoyed with him.

For some reason Harry was the one who couldn't stop staring at her, he felt very protective over her. There was something she was doing that was so interesting, but he couldn't figure it out. 'What is she doing?' Harry thought, 'What is so interesting that got my attention? Why do I feel this way?'. As Harry kept staring Hermione nudged him to get his attention.

"Stop being so rude Harry, she has enough people staring at her as it is, besides, the new students are here and the Sorting's about to begin!". Harry didn't hear her nor did he care, he just wanted to figure it out.

"Harry! Concentrate." Hermione whispered.

"I am Hermione." he retorted.

"Yeah on something, or should I say, someone else.". Harry gave Hermione a sarcastic look and watched the new students being sorted.

As the Sorting Hat called out House names Harry was trying to think how Amanda had caught his eye. Yes she was attractive and yes he had noticed it before, but why now was he staring at her? Why did he feel like running up to her and guarding her?

Without even noticing food had popped up in front of Harry, it looked like the House Elves had worked hard this year and surprisingly Hermione was eating.

"What?" Hermione answered to Ron's look.

"You're actually eating!" he said surprisingly.

"So what? Can't I eat?".

"Well yeah, you can, but what about the whole House Elf thing?".

"That's over and done with." Hermione said "I know the House Elf's are happy so why change them?".

"Now you get it!" said Ron giving her a funny look.

Ron had noticed that there was something wrong with Harry, he hadn't touched his food and that was very unlike him since he hardly had any food at the Dursley's.

"You alright mate?" Ron asked, Harry didn't answer. "Oi Harry, you awake?" and once Ron had waved his arm in front of Harry he looked away from Amanda.

"Harry what has gotten into you?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing." he replied.

"Yeah there is." Ron said, "You haven't stopped staring at Amanda since we came in, so come on, you fancy her or something?".

"Yeah I do but you can't talk Ron, you like her more than me. Besides, I still like Cho. And I'm not staring at her 'cause I fancy her, I'm staring 'cause she's doing something and I can't put my finger on it. There's something that's caught my eye but I don't know what!". Ron and Hermione looked at each other. concerned.

"Have some food Harry." Hermione demanded, "You're probably just hungry.".

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Harry agreed, he put some food on his plate and started to eat.

Monday morning and everyone is in the Great Hall for breakfast and finding out what lessons they have.

"DOUBLE POTIONS NEXT!" Ron shouted "How can this be!? I've been good haven't I? Why torture me?".

"Calm down Ron, it won't kill you." said Harry.

"A lot you know! Anyway, you're only saying that 'cause Amanda's in that class."

"Shut up Ron!" said Harry going red in the face.

"Admit it Harry, you like her." Hermione grinned.

"No I don't." he replied, "There's just something she was doing last night and it caught my eye, nothing dodgy Ron!". Harry saw Ron's face and immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Boys." Hermione mumbled and got up to go to class with Harry and Ron following her.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione wait up!" Amanda shouted as she ran past some first years, "I've been meaning to talk to you three but I haven't had the chance.".

"What about?" Ron asked.

"Nothing special really, just wondered how your summers went, because I haven't heard from any of you for a while and I thought we could talk on our way to class!".

"Okay" said Ron and Hermione.

"So... How did they go?" Amanda asked.

"Mine was okay, I went to France again which was nice" Hermione answered.

"Ooo la la! Very nice! What about you Ron?".

"Umm nothing really, just stayed in The Burrow mostly.".

"Oh. Well. That sounds nice. Harry how was your summer?", he didn't reply. "Harry?", still no reply. "What? Are you not talking to me or something Harry?" Amanda asked concerned. "Harry if you have a problem with me then tell me and I'll go.".

"No! No don't, sorry I... I was just thinking.".

"Oh, OK. That's good! Well I'll talk to you lot later then, bye.".

"See you in Muggle Studies Amanda!" Hermione shouted.

"See you Hermione".

"What on earth was that Harry?" Hermione asked angrily.

"What was what?".

"You! Totally ignoring her." Ron said.

"I have no idea, I just couldn't talk for some reason". Ron and Hermione looked at each other again and all three were quiet the rest of the walk there.

Once again Harry was staring at Amanda and not concentrating, Ron noticed straight away that he wasn't because Harry had put in the wrong potion and their cauldron had blown to bits. "Again, Mr. Potter, you seem to be in another world. Dreaming of fame and fortune ?" Snape said bitterly.

Amanda had turned round at that point and Harry was still staring at her, Ron could tell she felt uncomfortable.

"Harry, stop it now!", as Ron hit his arm Harry realized what he was doing and quickly looked away.

"Oh yeah, like she didn't notice that" Ron said sarcastically, then when Amanda had turned round he realised why he was staring, why he felt so protective over her, it was because she was staring at Draco. His enemy, her enemy, she was staring at Draco that whole time and by the looks of it he was staring at her too.
