This another ridicously short chapter, but i prefer making them nice and short more than long and not very good... Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as the others.
In this new episode of "Unexpected", Harry and the OC get to finally know each other and the action begins, maybe you think it hasn't happened enough stuff for the things to begin, but I think it's not so bad hahah.
As usually, THANK YOU for reading, I hope you like it and either if you do or not, please review :)
The Irish Admirer
The question seemed to have a strange effect on Maebh; her usual happy, even bordering on craziness sight became suddenly serious and dark. She raised her eyes to look into Harry's so he would believe every word she had to say and began her tale.
"My name is Maebh Ann Kennedy and I'm from the countryside, next to Dublin," she said with a voice that had a little, almost imperceptible, touch of sadness that Harry couldn't help noticing, but he let her continue "I've always lived there, with my father and brother, who is a Squib, I don't have any problem with him being… you know, different, but that's reason I haven't gone to Hogwarts or any other Wizardry school. My father didn't want him to feel left out when I came home knowing all those magic spells and stuff. Anyway, there's a boy that lives near our house that goes there and teaches me some easy things; you may know him, Seamus Finnigan." Harry's face got illuminated; Seamus had been his friend since he arrived to Hogwarts almost seven years ago. The girl saw it and smiled, she was also friends with Seamus since they were only kids. "Yeah, I know him" said shyly Harry as he remembered all the people that were at Hogwarts right now, including Ginny, and that were probably suffering the terrible consequences of Death Eaters running the school. A silence fell between them while they were both buried in their thoughts and memories.
After some minutes Maebh continued "so I don't know a lot of magic as you may have noticed, only the necessary to survive some days here in the woods before I finally found you…"
"You were looking for us?" cut Harry. "Yes, after all we heard about you on the news and from Seamus and people in general, my father and I have been supporting you all the time. I also heard that there were rumors of you and your two friends had been given a mission from Albus Dumbledore before his death. I thought that that had to have obviously something to do with destroying You-Know-Who… Oh I almost forgot it, He killed my mother and also tried with my brother and me, thanks God the Aurors just came and he had to flee.
"That was what made me hate him so much, I'd anything to destroy him, so I decided some months ago to look for you and help you in whatever I could to make it faster. I know I've been really stupid, I know no useful magic or have any knowledge that might help. I'm being even a burden for what you're doing." She was crying now, maybe because she thought Harry was going to make her leave or maybe, and that was the most likely to be, because she had just realized the foolish and childish her actions had been since she had the non-sense idea of leaving her family and look for someone who didn't need or want anyone to come with them and be in the way between their goal and them.
She was feeling really miserable right now, and Harry knew it, he somehow felt identified with her according to fight-for-your-family thing.
What happened next was so not planned that he didn't believe what he was just going to do was real, it was probably as a result of all the contained emotions of the past weeks, or only of the tiredness the Horcrux search provocated, but he moved his head forward, towards her, there was a moment their faces touched each other; hers was wet and with tears falling down her cheek, his was a bit bearded because he hadn't had time in two days for shaving.
They stayed just like that, their heads together for some minutes that seemed to be endless. It was more like comforting each other than any other feeling, just like a little touch of peace that filled the two of them with a heat that was really welcome in a cold night like that.
Then something more special happened, Harry separated his face from hers and looked into two green eyes that said a lot with no words and then moved towards her again, this time, probably not consciously, looking for her lips. She noticed that and followed his movements, looking for his lips too. Suddenly, when they were almost together, Harry stopped.
For half a second a brief thought of his first kiss with Ginny came to him making his heart convulse in a certain way that made him remember how much he missed her and that he couldn't do whatever he was thinking of right now, with a girl he barely knew.
He immediately pulled himself backwards and looked at her with a guilty look and said "S-Sorry" and quickly went outside, as far as he could from a Maebh that hardly knew what had just happened, but it was wrong; this shouldn't be going on.
He sat outside, under a sky full of stars. It was hard to decide where to start putting in order his thoughts and feelings.
