Chapter Ten – Reconciliation?

Two days later Harry was lying on his bed at the Dursleys brooding over his failed relationship with Amy, he had seen the look in her eyes. She didn't just think he was joking, she was scared of him. Harry squeezed his eyes shut. She was scared of him.

Harry hadn't seen Lee or anyone else since leaving their garden the other day, and was trying to decide whether to go to training later on. He was attempting to convince himself not to go, but he knew he would, he wasn't the sort of person who could take disappointing friends.

When it was time for training Harry lingered at the Dursleys for while longer, but then ended up sprinting out of the house, worried that he'd be late. As he jogged up towards the courts he berated himself for having such an annoyingly soft nature.

"Harry!" Lee shouted when he saw him approaching, "Didn't think you'd turn up for a moment then"

"Why wouldn't he turn up?" Greg asked, coming over to them.

"Had an argument with Amy the other day" Harry gasped, hoping Greg wouldn't ask too many questions. Luckily for him, Coach shouted them all over for a pre-training prep talk.

Near the end of training Harry noticed a group of familiar faces approaching, two of them seemed to be 'debating hotly', or arguing as others put it, over something. Good old Ron and Hermione, Harry thought to himself, smiling slightly.

"Hey guys" He said going up to them, "If you just wait a mo, I'll go get showered."

Ron and Hermione nodded then continued to argue, Sirius gave Harry a pointed look, which Harry returned, meaning 'tell you later'. Harry sprinted off, shaking his head at his two best friends whilst chewing his lip over how he was going to tell Sirius.

As he exited the changing rooms with Lee and Greg he saw Amy standing talking to Coach. Harry stopped in his tracks; Lee turned to him and saw him staring at Amy apprehensively. "Go and talk to her, idiot" He said, pushing Harry forwards.

"Errm" was all Harry could say.

"Go on man!" Lee exclaimed impatiently, he walked on ahead, "Dad" He gestured to Coach, who started to make his way over to Lee. Lee pointedly glared at Harry and jerked his head towards Amy.

"Fine" Harry muttered moodily. This could only get worse he thought. "Amy?"

Amy turned to look at him and frowned. Not good. Harry considered running away, but that would be the cowards' way out and he was a Gryffindor.

"Amy, can I talk to you?"

"Why?" she said angrily.

Harry licked his lips nervously, "Err, I wanted to apologise for the other day, I shouldn't have…" He trailed off miserably, watching himself scuff the ground with his shoe.

"What? Shouldn't have made up lies? Shouldn't have lead me on?" Amy accused, Harry just stood there, not really knowing what to say. "I thought you were different" She continued, "but you're just like all the others, once you get what you want you're out of there. Although I must admit yours was the best excuse to get out of a relationship I've ever heard!" she added with a bit of a sarcastic laugh.

Amy's careless laugh seemed to stab a hole in Harry's heart, he swallowed, "Amy I wasn't joking, and I don't want to get out of a relationship with you. I love you." Harry looked at Amy sincerely, but noticed that she wasn't having it.

She laughed again, "Really! I've had enough of your bullshit."

Harry winced, "Amy, please…" his voice cracked.

"No Harry! I don't know why I ever wanted to go out with you; I should've known what you'd be like after the tails I heard about in Primary School. Dudley was right about you, you are a freak. It's no wonder the Dursleys don't want you" with that she stalked away, missing the look of surprise and hurt on Harry's face.

Harry just stood there, until Sirius and Lee came up to him, "You all right?" Sirius asked softly. Whereas Lee hissed threateningly, "What have you done to my sister? Hey?"

"I didn't do anything" Harry said, still staring at where Amy had gone, "She said Dudley was right about me." He added to himself, so quietly the other two men almost missed it.

Lee relaxed a bit, "Look I don't know what's going on between you two, but I don't want to loose a mate over it." He clapped his hand on Harry's back. "You're not a bad bloke, better the usual guys Amy goes for anyway. I'll have a word with her, see if I can plead your case." Lee made as if to go, "And Harry, Amy didn't mean what she said."

Harry looked unconvinced but did turn round to send Lee a thankful smile. "Where did Ron and Hermione go?" He asked Sirius, not really wanting to talk about Amy anymore.

Luckily, Sirius got the message, "They're just waiting over there" he pointed just behind him. "Harry whenever you're ready, you can just send an owl and I'll come straight over" He added, cautiously.

"Thanks Sirius." Harry whispered dejectedly, before summing up his courage and grinning as he made his way over to his two friends, who had by now finished arguing and seemed to just be chatting. However, they stopped talking as soon as they spotted Harry coming towards them.

"Hey guys!" Harry said, ignoring the signs that they had been talking about him. "Do you want to go into town? I'll show you around"

"Sure." Hermione agreed, "It'll do Ron good to see a Muggle town."

Ron pulled a face, "What's going on between you and that chick?" he asked. Harry winced.

Hermione trod on Ron's foot, making him hop around for a bit, "Tactful as always!" she hissed in annoyance.

"Just leave it." Harry muttered, "Come on, if we're quick we can catch the next bus into town" He started walking away, leaving Hermione and Ron to glance at each other nervously and follow him.
