AN: Glad you guys are enjoying liking the story. Now I was planning on pushing the time that they become a couple until much later in the story. But with the number of reviews asking for it, I've decided to make them a couple now. It will still be quite some time before they are comfortable to do anything more than kiss though. Despite how mature they may be they are still only 11 year olds remember. This will be a short chapter. Will update maybe tonight or tomorrow a longer one. If anyone doesn't want this to happen strongly let me know in a review and I may redo it to just a talk between the 4 to remove Alyssa's insecurities rather than becoming couples. Let me know though.

AN2: Ladysavay: The way I'm doing Alyssa right now is partially on purpose. You have to remember that Sirius has remained in the Auror service so is out of the house a fair bit. Adriana leaves their kid's to their own devices most of the time and does her own thing. So Alyssa and Harry have spent 360 days of the year together since as far back as Alyssa can remember and Harry has done anything she's asked of him. Slowly it's become instinctual for him to do what she says as you saw earlier in the story. Now they are at Hogwarts Harry will be interacting with more people, making more friends and defending more people and becoming much more independent. Doing things she doesn't like on multiple occasions. Something that Alyssa won't like and be forced to adjust to the new Harry who won't bow down to her every whim.

As for her jealousy issues with Susan, she is the only girl that has consistent contact with Harry. As such Alyssa sees her as a threat to stealing her best friend, it has nothing to do with Susan potentially taking away Harry in a Romantic sense she just fears she will lose her place as his best female friend. Something that seems stupid but for an 11 year old I know. I was planning on having her witness Harry being friendly and affectionate around multiple girls as the year progresses so eventually she will accept Harry is just affectionate and only wants her in any sort of romantic way at a later date but now I'll make them a couple in this chapter to tone down her personality of jealousy now. The way she acts is just how I believe they would have grown up together without them thinking of each other in a brother/sister sense. Sorry if I have gone really over the top with the reactions but rest assured as the chapters go by from now Alyssa will become much more subdued. If it's really an issue I will go back and alter earlier chapters if I get a few reviews about doing just that as well.

As Susan and Neville had expected at around 2am had Alyssa awake making sure her dorm mates were still asleep and tiptoeing out of the room. She snuck her way to the first year dorm rooms and looking around for his trunk she went to that bed, pulled the curtain's back climbed under the covers, pulled the curtains shut again but before she could go back to sleep she heard Harry mumble in his sleep "Mmm Lyssa" which brought a bright smile to her face which stuck with her as she trailed off to sleep.

The next morning the two were awoken by a shout of "DAMNIT" by Harry's bed. "Nev mate, what's with the yelling this early in the morning?" He just glared at Harry "Alyssa just lost me a galleon, honestly sneaking into the boys dorm rooms in the middle of the night." Harry looked at him confused before looking over to his right and Alyssa there blinking innocently back at him. Sighing he said "Then you were betting poorly Nev, you should know she's done this since we were small" He just mumbled something about "Hogwarts, rules, losing to Susan" Causing Harry to chuckle a bit before ushering Alyssa out of the room and to her own dorm while he left to get showered and changed.

Alyssa walked back into the girl's first year dorms to the sight of Lavender and Parvarti giggling and whispering in hushed voices. While Susan just merely sniggered at her before stating "Did you sleep well Lyssa" Alyssa just blushed and mumbled something and got a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom, Susan just burst out laughing before gathering her own things and doing the same.

"You really should do something Lyssa, he is the boy-who-lived with fangirls of all years wanting a piece of him." Alyssa just huffed "I know that but Harry would never do anything with any of them" Susan smiled brightly "Exactly because he only wants you, the only reason I've been acting the way I have around Harry since his birthday is because you weren't doing anything, you were waiting for him. Lyssa he's a boy, boys are clueless to this sort of thing. You should know that I like Neville by now"

Alyssa looked down "I know all that, I wasn't jealous of you making a move on Harry, I was jealous that you would become as close as me to him, I'm jealous when girls look at him that they might be become even closer to him than me. I can't help it I'm scared he'll leave me to spend time with one of them, to replace me with you, that's all I think of when they look at him like they do. There was the daughter of the Weasley's glaring at me at the station, Daddy told me that Dumbledore tried to set up a contract between Harry and her."

Susan gasped "He didn't sign it did he?" Alyssa looked up and smiled brightly "No he just laughed in Dumbledore's face" Looking down again she continued "But that girl had a look of utter desperation and hunger to be the one holding Harry's hand, I couldn't help but think if other people have approached Daddy about marriage contracts with Harry and their daughters and they would be willing to do anything to get closer to Harry. Things I'm too afraid to do, so I just send glares at them hoping they'll back off."

Susan sighed "You know Harry is an affectionate person Lyssa, that's just in his nature. Unlike most boy's our age he's grown up with a very beautiful girl by his side, he won't be afraid to kiss cheeks, talk calmly with any girls in the school. He may very well become close to a number of girls, you need to accept that but remember that he only wants you in any potential romantic way in the future. Stop beating yourself up for something that will never happen."

Alyssa looked up with wide eyes "But how can you know he feels that way, how do you know he doesn't see me as just his best friend." Susan sighed loudly "Alright I'll play along, there's the fact he dishes your food for you before his own, he cares for your opinion above all others. He would protect you no matter what situation you were in." Alyssa cut back in hysterically "But you said it yourself Susan, he's an affectionate person, he would do that to anyone who became close to him, it's just I'm the closest person right now."

Susan looked at the girl like she was utterly stupid "Are you really that insecure Alyssa, listen to yourself for a moment, scrap that, you wouldn't listen to even yourself. Alright how about this then, we have girl talk's like this, Harry has boy talks with Neville, let's head down to the common room and I'll talk to him about Harry, I won't mention anything about what you said I swear" Alyssa looked anxious before reluctantly nodding accepting it. Susan smiled and they showered and got dressed before heading down to the common room.

Meanwhile Harry and Neville were changed already and sitting on their beds "Harry Alyssa is already your best friend, she will already be a target for others based just on that fact. Why are you holding yourself back so much?" Harry sighed "Why do you hold yourself back from going after Susan Nev?" Neville blushed and looked away "Exactly, not as easy when the roles are switched is it." Neville sighed "Maybe but it's harder on Alyssa then Susan, Harry you're the boy who lived, girls will practically be throwing themselves at you and Alyssa will witness this all. I know you well enough to know you are an affectionate bloke. How do you think Alyssa will handle you getting closer to other girls?"

Thinking about it Harry closed his eyes and sighed "She would think I'm pushing her away. That I'm possibly choosing them over her, that I want a new best friend at the very least." Neville smiled brightly "Exactly Harry, it's always just been you and her, now it's you and hundreds of horny girls." At Harry's glare and no doubt retort Neville held up his hands "Let me finish. Girls that would give more than any girls our age would, I assume Sirius gave you the talk?" Harry turned bright red remembering Padfoot's very explicit explanation of what boy's and girl's do when in love.

Flashback

"Alright Harry since you'll be intending Hogwarts soon and because of who you are I've decided to give you the talk now." A very excited looking Sirius Black stated to his godson with a stack of magazines and a few muggle VHS tapes next to him. "Umm alright Padfoot, so what are we talking about?" Sirius's grin got even wider before he stated excitingly "Sex" Harry looked up at his godfather curiously "Sex? What's that Padfoot?" The still smirking Sirius simply handed over a magazine "I've always found a more practical approach is more educational then just theory. But I'm not about to let you do that but this is just as good. These muggle inventions are simply ingenious, well then open her up"

Harry looked down curiously at the magazine with a very attractive woman on the cover. Flicking over the first few pages he blushed madly "That Prongslet are breasts, I'm sure you've noticed them on your Aunt and when we leave the house on older girls and woman. Keep going." Harry did so and if possible his blush got wider "And this Pronglet is where the fun begins, this right here is what makes men worldwide as happy as we are, confused? Not to worry this video here will help you understand."

30 minutes later a heavily blushing Harry was staring at the now blank screen wide eyed. Sirius was barking out in laughter at his godson's reaction, he was taking it remarkably well for an 11 year old. Harry looked at his Godfather slowly "You mean that's those things is what Alyssa and I have to do when we're older Padfoot?" Said man just choked on the air in shock "W-what?" Harry cocked his head to the side, "Well you said you do that to people my age who you love, I love Alyssa" Sirius sighed knowing a lost cause and managed to get out "Y-yes, m-maybe, not until you're much much older. Understand?" Harry nodded and returned to staring at the screen with wide eyes.

Flashback end

"Yeah I got it from Dad. Something tells me Padfoot's was worse though. Anyway mate, those girls would give you that, Alyssa may either feel like she has to do it to keep you or she will give up knowing it's a lost cause. You need to do something about it Harry." Harry rubbed his head in frustration, why can't it just be like it always was. At Hogwarts a day and already things are starting to get complicated. "Alright I'll talk to Alyssa downstairs but only if you talk to Susan" Neville looked like he just got slapped "But th-that's playing dirty Potter" Harry just burst out laughing "But it's fair Nev, embarrassing conversations for the both of us." Neville just glared at Harry "Fine let's go then"

Harry blanched "What, right now?" Neville smirked at him "Well I have to do it while I still have the courage too" Sighing he followed Neville out to the common room, Alyssa and Susan were already there, Susan looking smug, she ran over grabbed a very nervous looking Neville and pulled him away to an area away from the other two. Harry approached the equally nervous looking Alyssa. "Uh, hey Lyssa think we can talk for a minute?" Alyssa looked over at Harry curiously "Sure Harry"

Susan stopped in a corner out of earshot of anyone else in the room and said "Alright first up you owe me a galleon" Neville sighed before handing it over. Smiling brightly Susan continued "Alright so I decided to stop with the indirect approach with Alyssa and got it out by directly asking her. She's basically afraid she'll lose Harry to other little sluts giving him what she won't." Neville nodded "Yeah we figured as much, I just managed to convince Harry to talk to Alyssa about it to ensure her he would never do anything like that, maybe even make them a couple I'm not sure. But, uh, there was a condition to it"

Neville finished off nervously. Susan cocked her head to the side "Oh, what condition is that Nev?" Looking her in the eye gathering all the courage he could while blushing insanely and he said "Uh, well you see, umm I, uh oh the hell with it, will you be my girlfriend Susan Bones?" Susan's eyes went wide. She was never expecting that from Neville. She opened and closed her mouth a few times before meekly getting out "Y-yes" His face split into a massive grin and he gave her a tight hug and kiss on the cheek. He released her and took her hand to watch how the other conversation went.

Harry took Alyssa's hand and led her to an isolated area. Looking at her curious face he started "Well, uh, damn Nev. Alright here goes, Neville and I just had a serious conversation involving the two of us Lyssa and I've come to realize a few things." Her eyes went wide realizing that Susan was right about boy talks. "Nev made it obvious to me about my affectionate nature and the fact that girl's will be throwing themselves at me. I deduced how that would make you feel." Alyssa looked down feeling ashamed of how she knew she would react.

"Uh, you should know that I would never want to replace you, push you away or make you feel that you aren't as important to me anymore." She looked him in the eye and smiled when she saw no dishonesty there. "I also know that older girls would offer things to me that you wouldn't want to. I would never do those things Lyssa, at least never with anyone other than you." Alyssa's eyes went wide at that statement. "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to do such things until we're older but what I'm trying to say is Alyssa Black, will you be my girlfriend?"

Alyssa began crying, all her insecurities were thrown out of her mind, the boy she loved had just basically confessed his love back for her. She never had to worry about other girls winning him, he didn't want to rush into things, he just wanted to cement their relationship into what deep down she knew it was. Beaming she hugged him tightly and squealed "Yes Harry James Potter, of course I will" Even though he knew the answer already he still couldn't help but keep the sigh of relief and wide smile from reaching his face. She pulled back slightly and captured his lips in her own startling him for a moment before he returned it.

"Ahem" They broke apart to see Neville and Susan grinning broadly at them "Wow never thought I'd see the day" Susan chirped happily. Harry noticed their hands together "So I take it that you did your end of the bargain Nev?" Susan beamed "He sure did" before planting a kiss on his cheek causing him to turn bright red. "Well let's head down to breakfast then guys" Alyssa stated blissfully and the four walked in two sets of two out of the common room. Ignoring the disapproving glare sent by a certain Weasley off to the side of the room.
