Chapter 1
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room with me?

I couldn't help but smile when I left the Room of Requirements. I'm absolutely shocked. This, this has happened to me. Me?! Wow, I mean, wow. Just the fact that I talked to Harry, touched Harry, kissed Harry, is completely mind blowing. It was like something inside me had turned on and I was back again. Good old Bekki Sherry, back to normal. Except I'm not back to normal, I'm better than normal. I'm extraordinary.

I got back to the dorm, and it was empty.

"I guess they are at dinner," I said to myself. So I threw my book on my bed and left. I went to walk into the Great Hall, when I walked right into someone. A very ... hot person. I was so close to Harry I could have kissed him, but I didn't. It took so much out of me not to jump all over him right now. But I didn't, he knew I couldn't. I stood there facing him, and he was smiling down at me while I was in some form or trance with him. The only problem was that I could feel myself blushing like mad.

"Um...Harry? Bekki?" I snapped out of my zone and looked towards Hermione and Ron standing a little to the side.

"Oh, sorry." I said quietly.

"Er, it's alright. So how's it going? You look good." I knew exactly what she was talking about. How I have been so grumpy and town down the last three weeks, and I've basically separated myself from everyone the last few weeks as well. The dark circles of restless sleeps were slowly disappearing and the frown that seemed to be plastered on my face had quickly vanished. I looked about ten times better than the last few weeks. I not quite sure why, but this made me laugh. Laugh with joy of being myself. I giggled and looked up to Harry, who looked as if he was on the verge of laughter.

"It's going great, but I'm starving-"

"Oh, we won't keep you then!" Ron cut in. Lord knows how he loves his food. I laughed again, and replied

"Well, I'll talk to you guys later." They walked through the giant door way to the Great Hall, and as Harry went to walk around me to get out, he ever so discreetly brushed his hand with mine. My heart skipped a beat, and my face went even redder, but I continued to walk towards the Slytherin table.

"Well well, look who decided to come back." Jade said, rearing her head around to look at me. I ignored her and took a seat beside Malfoy and Blaise. Although, my huge smile was still on my face, nothing could really make me angry.

"Oh, how are the mashed potatoes?" I asked no one in particular, as I scooped some onto my plate. No one answered me, and Jade stared at me open mouthed. Aw, I ruined their plans because I'm happy. Well they can cram it. "Are you OK Jade? You look a little pale." I said smirking. Then they all stared at me open mouthed. "What?!" I laughed. I grabbed my fork and began to eat, and the table remained silent as I ate.
Well, that's the most peculiar lunch I've had this year. No one has talked the entire time, and just to rub things in a little bit more, I looked at everyone again. "Are you sure there isn't a problem?" No one said anything, like I'm not used to that. Until Blaise piped in.

"Um, yeah, there's no problem." I smiled even more.

"Oh wonderful, I'm going back to the common room to do some work. Talk to you later." I got off the bench and walked out, while their eyes practically burned holes in the back of my head. Ha, eat your hearts out.

I was just down the hall when I heard someone call my name.

"Hey, Sherry, wait up!" I turned around and saw Malfoy, and to my surprise, he was by his self. "I was wondering what you're so happy about, because we all know you were furious after lunch, with those stupid Ravenclaw girls." Improvisation, wonderful.

"My mother sent me an owl, we moved back to England." I said trying to act happy. God knows I wasn't, but there could be a positive perspective to this. "I don't know exactly where I'm moving, but probably close to you and everyone else." I shrugged and continued walking. And before I could say anything, Draco pushed me into a broom closet. "What the hell?!"

"Shh! No one else can hear this. Does your father work for-"

Just as he was about to finish, the door flew open and Professor Sprout stood there, with her hands on her hips.

"What are you two doing in the closet!? Fooling around?!-" I was taken back.

"I don't believe you have any right going into our personal life, and no, we were having a private conversation!" I said, irritated.

"10 points from Slytherin for talking back, and another 10 points for being in restricted areas." she said, without losing eye contact with me.

"Fine!" I said, as I grabbed Draco's sleeve and dragged him out into the hall and towards the dungeons.

God knows what that was about, but at this point, I couldn't care less!

Nothing could ruin my mood now.
