Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter unfortunately or glee nor do I own ninja like reflexes :P
Previously: Padma is upset and runs out of the Great Hall during the Yule Ball. Harry finds her and tries to comfort her… they go for a walk round the lake.
Thank you SOOOOO much for all the favourites and alerts! In the first day I got 10 alerts/ faves and I was ecstatic ! But if you could leave a nice review… that would be great! ;)
All italics during it are mostly Harry's inner monologue
Part 2
"Ha-ha." Their laughs could be heard all around then. During their walk Harry and Padma had got to know each other quite well, Harry could definitely say that she was completely different to her sister. With him only knowing Parvati briefly from lessons and Padma barely at all because of her being in Ravenclaw and only sharing few lessons which were shared by her sister so they were always together. He seized the opportunity to talk to her. Harry had pondered why Padma had softly sighed once the laughter stopped.
"So… What do you think of the tournament so far?" Harry asked to avoid any awkwardness.
"It's alright, I think the dragons were a bit risky to have! What would have happened if one got loose and started attacking other people?"
"Well a dragon did get loose, and it did attack me!"
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot… Your doing really well though, flying on your broom, especially summoning it!"
"Thanks, I thought I'd play to my strengths… I doubt I'll be able to get out of the next tasks that easily, or will they get any easier and I just fought a dragon! Hermione said people have died in this tournament before!"
"I suppose not but you're the boy-who-lived not the boy-who-died, your not going to fail us!" wile Padma was talking Harry had been staring at her, taking in every detail. The rosey-ness of her blush, the curve of her lips when she smirked and the slight pout she had once she finished talking… Crap! She's finished, need something to diffuse the tension!
"I swear I've heard something like that before on a TV show, it was something like "Men are born to succe-""
"-eed not fail." Padma finished.
"Yeah, that." Harry looked like someone just confounded him, "How do you know, I thought you had magical parents."
"I have a few relatives who are Muggles and I spend time with them in the summer, it helps with Muggles studies as well!" Padma laughed at the last part as she said it, much to Harry's confusion, when she started to snort Harry looked at her strangely, Padma stopped and covered her mouth embarrassed and face-palmed. "Sorry about that."
"No, no. It's fine," Harry thought for a moment, "Your laughs nice, don't be so embarrassed!"
"Really? I hate it, it's a running joke in my family that I'm really a pig!"
"Well their just trying to wind you up. It happens to everyone, I know for experience."
"Yeah, but before I've got so angry that I've blown stuff up and other things." Tears were forming in her eyes, she was going to cry- again. But Harry tried to cheer her up, putting his arm around her shoulders for an awkward hug as he was still carrying his punch glass.
"I'm sure it's not as bad as inflating your Aunt Marge!"
"What?" she pulled bad from the embrace and looked at him, boring into his emerald eyes.
"I made my Aunt inflate, like a balloon, she did insult my mum to be fair!" they started to walk again.
"Oh, that's alright then… I think."
"Don't worry, I never liked her. I didn't even tell you that she floated half-way across the country before the Ministry could catch her and modify her memory!"
"Oh my wizard God! that's really bad, but so funny at the same time!" In fact she thought that it was so funny, that she started her insane laugh, snorts and all, but at least she's wiping tears of laughter than sadness Harry thought.
"Ummph!" With ninja- like reflexes Harry caught Padma from falling, when she tripped over a rock (like the many which situated near the lake they were walking around).
"You alright?" asked Harry looking into her eyes, his face looking panic-stricken.
"Yeah…" said Padma sounding a little winded, she stared back into emerald eyes, noting how close their faces were, their noses almost touching, their lips inches apart; the gap slowly closing, their breath mingling; the heat tingling and lingering on each others' faces. Inches, centimetres, millimetres. Then it happened…
Ohhhhhh a cliffy I'm so evil! mwahahaha
