Chapter 8: Friends Might Be in Danger. Confession?

It was so peaceful, when a loud bang for inside the school. I thought that it was Neville Longbottom, a Gryffindor first year like Harry. He was always screwing up spells. Pansy Parkinson ran up to me and said, "Have you seen anything weird?"

"I hear an explosion. Other than that no."

"Well the explosion was from the Gryffindor table at lunch."

"Was anyone hurt?" I said in a panicked tone of voice.

"No, but we saw someone running out of the Great Hall."

"I'll keep my eye out for any thing." "Professor Dumbledore, told us to go to our common rooms and stay there for further notice."

"Ok."

"Come on."

"Aright." We talked on the back too the school.

"So I saw that Malfoy forced you to dance with him."

"Yeah well I had no choice because he was holding my wrist to tight."

"Well Malfoy can be a jerk some times. But he is nice. Deep down in side."

"Really deep down. He just can't stand me and Harry together."

"I know but you need to see that Malfoy is like his father."

"But still he doesn't have to be mean like him. Just because he doesn't have a friend that's a girl doesn't mean he has to ruin it for us."

"He's just jealous. Maybe you and him could be come friends."

"Yeah right."

We got to the Slytherin common room. I went to the girl dorm and Pansy went over to Malfoy. I had a feeling that Malfoy had sent Pansy to see if I would be come his friend or girl friend or whatever back to the story. It did not work. He needs to take brake and think up a better plan that won't hurt me. I wish I could see the others. I was going crazy just sitting in the dorm. I bet every one thought it was my dad but my dad would not do something like that because he is Harry's godfather. I wanted to know what caused the explosion. Like was it in a letter or a spell. I thought that a spell might have been Malfoy's father or even Malfoy. I knew it had to be one of those two but which one. It bothered me all day and night. I wanted to take out my dairy but it was too risky. So I wrote a letter to Harry.

Dear Harry,

I heard that there was an explosion at your table and I just wanted to know if you are all right. Well please write back. I going crazy being stuck with the Slytherins.

I gave it to Angel my hawk. I was daydreaming about home and my family if my dad had not gone to Azkaban. I bet my life would be much happier. Harry would probably be living with us. It would be nice if he did. Who knows may be Harry and I could be more than friends if he lived with us. I just kept that idea in my head. I took out my magazine that my mom sent to me for my birthday. I cut out picture of Aaron Carter, a really cute singer, and put them in my scrapbook I was making. I needed pictures of Hermione, Ron, Sharon, and of course Harry. I thought of sending my mom an owl telling her to send me her camera. I couldn't send it because Angel hadn't come back. So wrote the letter instead. When I finished my letter it was time to go to bed. I didn't care. I was actually happy. That night I had a very real dream that Harry was living with us and so was my dad. It felt so real until I got a rude awakening by Malfoy. He was in the girls' dorm. "Malfoy! What are you doing in here?" I whispered in a low and deadly voice.

"We need to talk."

"Now?"

"Yes now."

"My God it is the middle of the night. This better be good."

"It is. I'm sorry for what I did at the dance. I don't know what came over me. It was really hard seeing you and Potter dancing and having fun."

"Well still, you had no right to hurt me." I said as we walked down to the common room. When we got down there, there was hot chocolate on the table.

"Hot chocolate?"

"Sure."

"As I was saying you could say I was jealous."

"You were and because of that my wrist is black and blue."

"Well the devil inside of me got the best of me."

"You can say that again. Well if you were nice once In a while may be you would had more friends."

"Like who?"

"I don't know. Um may be Harry, Ron, Sharon, Hermione, and me. If you were nice." I said as I sipped my hot chocolate. When I put down the cup Malfoy gave me an evil look. "What did you do to my hot chocolate?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me or you will be spending the rest of your life as a rat."

"I did nothing to your bloody drink I was just think what I would be like If you became my girl friend right now."

"Like that will happen."

"Ok, It was just a daydream."

"Well that's all it is a daydream. I hope." I said in a worried voice. "Anyways, why did you get me out bed?"

"I forgot."

"Well if you don't remember, I'm going to bed." I went back t bed but I couldn't go to sleep. Now that Malfoy has waken me up I could not go back to sleep. It is the same at home when my cat, Salem wakes me up In the middle of the night. So I thought about my dream of living Harry, my dad, my mom and I. It would be great. Then I got an idea. What if Harry can come with us at the end of the year? It would be wonderful. Angel came back with a note. It was from Harry.Dear Liz,

I'm ok. So is everyone else. Sorry to hear you're going crazy. There is something I need to tell you but I can't find the words to say it. I wish I could just tell you but I can't. I'm not making sense am I? Please see if you can get out of the Slytherin house and meet me in portrait room. Maybe I can explain this in person.

Love,HarryLove Harry? He said love Harry. It could just be friend love like I love my friends, maybe not. What if he wants to tell me he loves me? No I doubt it. It's just how he says goodbye. That's it. I thought about for a mille second then I left and made my way to the portrait room. Filch almost caught me. But I was in black so I blended in with the shadows. When I got there Harry was looking at the portraits holding a silvery cloak. "Harry?"

He spun around. "Liz hi."

"I got your note."

"Good well what I wanted to say is that is that I don't know how to say this."

"Take your time. We have all night."

With a deep breath he said, "I love you with all my heart. Never knew I could care about someone so much." Did he just say I love you to me? Oh my god. He did. Yes, Yes, Yes. This rocks. I was jumping around in my head. "You probably think I'm a loser."

"No I don't think you're a loser. You're a nice, sweet, really likeable guy-"

"But you don't want to date me."

"No I would love to date you-"

"Before you reject me, I just want to say that ever since we became friend I have always had feelings for you. I didn't know what they meant until the Valentine's dance. When we were dancing and you were in my arms, I realized that I love you. I know that you are the one for me." No wonder he was acting like he was.

"Harry I would never reject you. I love every moment we spend together just the two of us. I have been trying to build up the courage to tell you but I couldn't. I have had a crush on you since the first time I met you." The door started open. Harry grabbed me and threw the cloak around both us. We stood against the wall.

Flitch to came in. "Who's there?" He heard our voices. He walked round holding to light up the shadows.

Once he decided that no one was there he left. "He's gone." I leaned on the wall.

"That was close." The cloak was big but Harry and I stood close together anyways. Harry stood in front of me. We were so close that I could hear his breathing and I'm sure he could hear mine. Harry leaned in closer. He put his hand on the wall. I looked at his hand then at him. I think he's going to kiss me. I hope he kisses me. I wonder if he's a good kisser. He lowered his head. I watched his every movement. With his, other hand he placed it on my back and pulled me to him. Our lips met. It was like the forth of July fireworks. Damn. Harry pulled away and looked at me with a look of love. He was surprised by his actions. I was surprised by his actions.

"Come with me."

"Where are we going?"

"To the Gryffindor Common Room."

"Ok." Harry pulled me to the portrait that was the entrance to the Gryffindor tower. "Amotu" Harry whispered the door swung open. We went in. When we got to the common room, we sat on the couch.

"Why did you bring me here?"

He didn't say anything. I knew that he was going to kiss me again just by the look in his eye told me. I didn't know what to say or do. Harry moved a piece of hair off my face then kissed me again. I kissed him back. We parted and looked at each other licking our lips. We wanted each other so much.

"Harry you know this can't really work. The whole house rivalry thing."

"I don't care what any one says I love you no matter what." I smiled. "I'll make it official with a date. A great date."

"You don't have to."

Harry placed his hand on my face. "I want to." He kissed me softly.

"What is a Slytherin doing here?"

We looked at each other in shock. Harry and I turned to the speaker. I was Sharon with Fred standing next to her. "Hello Sharon, Fred."

"Your not suppose to be in here."

"Sorry. There wasn't a sign that said "no Slytherins welcomed" anywhere."

"Why are you here anyways?"

"We were just taking a walk. Yeah that's right a walk."

"Right."

"Well I be must go. Better get back to my house before any one notices I'm gone."

"I'll walk with you." Harry and I walked to Slytherin Dungeon.

"Goodnight my angel."

"Goodnight my love." I went inside the Slytherin house. I sat on the couch replaying the last hour in my head. I kept thinking this until I was tired. After I got really tired I went back to sleep even though it was five o'clock in morning. It was the weekend so I slept late.
