Rules of Dating a Potter Boy

Rule #1: Don't be late to his first Quidditch Practice as Captain with an excuse you cant talk about.

I was late, again. Quidditch practice had started fifteen minutes ago, and I had promised Albie that I would be there to watch his first day as captain. He was the best seeker since his father, the famous Harry Potter, and he was also the most popular wizard at Hogwarts, and my boyfriend. He was perfect,outgoing, smart, devilishly good looking. He had these amazing green eyes and for some reason, he loved me. What I did know was that I had to create a story to explain why I was late, because he would never understand why I was.

One Week Later...

Albus, his cousins Lucy and Fred, and I were all sitting at the center of the Gryffindor table drinking pumpkin juice and eating our breakfast. I munched on some toast, then heard the sound that I was dreading. A group of owls swooped down to each student, at least half holding today's issue of the Daily Prophet.

"I have to go, I don't feel well." I quickly said.

"What's wrong, you've been acting strange all week Melanie." Lucy said, a little quiver in her voice. It was almost as if she knew something bad was going on. I had found out last Thursday, in a small roll of parchment from my mother. It informed me of what I knew was the inevitable. My parents used to work for the Ministry of Magic, but they were put on suspension for leaking information to a group of former death eaters in hiding. They had been working again for only two months, but I knew they couldn't resist the Malfoy's plethora of galleons that we so desperately needed. Now, they had decided to go in hiding, and of course the Prophet would be all over the mysterious disappearance of the Foloire couple. This also meant that they would assume that I knew something about it, and then Albus would hate me forever.

My parents were never very close to me, and I was ecstatic when the Potters gave me a home and family to spend time with. Albie's sister, Lily was probably closer to me, rather than James or Albus. They even took me on vacation last summer to India, and I always go to their home on Christmas holiday. Mr. and Mrs. Potter took me in, but how could people that do so much good the wizarding world, still respect me when my parents were encouraging what they had risked their lives to stop?

Right as Albie was about to open the fresh new pages of the newspaper, I snatched it out of his hands.

"Wait, I need to talk to you." I interrupted.

"Can't it wait? I wanted to nip to the library before my Herbology class, Professor Longbottom assigned us two rolls of parchment and I kind of fell asleep while working on it last night." He said guiltily.

"No, it's a important, and I don't think you're going to be very happy about it." I lead Albus up to the deserted common room, and sat down next to the fireplace. He held my hand and looked in to my eyes, with his deep green emerald eyes, as if gazing in to my heart.

"I have something to tell you about my parents. You know how they were suspended for leaking ministry information?"

"Yeah of course, did they do it again?" He said nonchalantly.

"Yes, and they've gone in to hiding. What am I supposed to do if the ministry comes after me? No one will treat me the same!" I cried.

"Everything will be fine, and if someone bothers you they can expect a good beating from me, I promise." He laughed, as if nothing was wrong.

"Albie! Don't you realize this is a big deal?" I stormed off into the dormitory to find Albus' sister smoothing out her sheets. She immediately ran over to me, and gave a comforting hug without needing any explanation. I blurted out all my problems to her told me that it would all be alright. If only I believed that was true.
