A/N: Hey everybody, short note this time. POV is the same as always. There is another very important matter I must bring up which will be in the authors note at the end. There's an important question there. And now the important matter, thank you all for the support. Follows, Favs and Reviews are always appreciated. Now without further ado, on with the story!


Harry's POV

She turned back to the door and opened it and left the room. Sitting back down on the couch, I just stared at the fire and thought about what she said.


A few hours later (around 9ish)

Leaving the room, I made my way back down to the hospital wing. Hermione was right, I had to try. And I had to stop lying to myself. I did like Daphne. But true love? Really? I know there are some insane things in this world but true love? Is that possible? Guess I'm about to find out.

Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't even realized how close to the hospital wing I got. Turning the final corner, I made my way to the entrance and walked in and over to Daphne's bed.

Nobody was here, perfect. Though the fact that Tracey hadn't stuck was a slight shock, I expected her to be here but still hoped she wouldn't be. Guess I got lucky.

Sitting in the chair beside Daphnes bed, I felt a bit foolish but I started talking.

"Look, I know you probably can't hear me but I don't know I've heard some pretty crazy things in my life so maybe you can. Either way it doesn't matter. I just want know that uh if this does work, then... then that I'm not going to force into anything you want. I get it if you don't like me, it's fine. Part of me is afraid that this will work because then I have to try and deal with this. I won't be able to just run away. And that's ha, that what I've been doing. I've been waiting for Wizengamot to come, to make my move but I've just been stalling." Pausing, I took a breath before continuing.

"I met your father today, I could've told him. I should've told him. Maybe if we told it wouldn't have happened. For that I'm, I'm sorry. I got you into this to begin with. If I just hadn't confronted you on the train, then we might not be here. I've been trying to get out Dumbledore's control, all he does is lie and keep secrets. But thinking about it, that's all I've done. Maybe if I was honest, then you would've trusted me, maybe if I was honest with myself I wouldn't have walked out earlier. Wizenmagot isn't going to be enough. I'm done waiting." Finishing my whole apology turned speech. I just went for. Leaning down, I placed my lips on hers and kissed her.

Pulling away, I sat back up in my chair waiting for something to happen. What was supposed to happen? It didn't work d-

I didn't even get to finish my thought when she just shot up into a sitting position. Eyes wide and frantic. Whipping her head left and right she looked she turned her head towards me, I could see her eyes were filled with panic.

"Daphne? You alright?" She whipped her head towards me, and when she did I could see her eyes were filled with panic.

"Where am I?" She was staring directly at me but it didn't seem to calm her down much.

"The hospital wing. Daphne, I'm Harry. You know that right?"

Her expression changed to a look that basically said 'what the hell?'. "I know who you are dumbass. What are I doing in the hospital wing?"

"Are you okay?" I all but ignored her question. She looked okay. Well better.

"What I'm I doing here?"

"Daphne, I-" She must've known I either going to lie or just ignore the question because interrupted me.

"No, tell me Harry, what am I doing here?"

"You called me Harry." My face must've represented my shocked.

"Of course I called you Harry. That's your name isn't it? Jeez I think I should be asking if you okay."

"Yeah that's my name but since when have you used it?"

"Since we became friends. Oh and just so you know, I'm sorry and I don't say that often." Friends? But she- Wait what's she sorry for?

"Woah hold up, what are sorry for?" That slap? Cuz I hope that's what she's apologizing for.

"For saying you didn't trust me, I know do. I just was mad. Why else would I be apologizing for?" WHAT?!

"Um, can you hold on, I need to check on something. I'll be right back." Getting up, I walked around the curtains and to Madam Pomfreys office. Not bothering to knock, I just opened the door and walked right in. Looking around, I spotted another closed door at the end of the office.

Choosing to knock on this one, I waited for some sort of sign that she was in there. I was about to turn away when the door opened.

"Mister Potter?" Madam Pomfrey questioned as she left the room she came out of and closed the door behind her. She must've been sleeping because was wearing a robe. What the hell was she doing sleeping at 10 o'clock?

"Sorry to ah wake you but um. Daphnes awake and I think you should check on her." As I finished, I looked down at the ground because we both knew what it meant if Daphne was awake.

"Oh well then, um I'll be right out." She didn't look any better then I did. Turning she went back into her room and came back out a couple minutes later dressed in her healer robes.

Walking past me she left the office. Following her, we both made our way back to the bed Daphne was in.

Only to find it empty.

When she turned to look at me all I raised my hands in the 'I surrender pose' and say "I swear I don't know."

She glared at me, but she it didn't last very long because we heard a door opening. Turning our heads, we saw Daphne exiting the bathroom and walking over.

Looking between us, me with my arms up and Madam Pomfrey looking none to pleased. She at least had the decency to look sorry. Coming over she sat back down on the bed.

"Miss Greengrass, can you tell me what day it is?" Madam Pomfrey asked Daphne.

"Why the hell are you asking me the day?"

"Just answer the question Miss Greengrass." Madam Pomfrey was not going to give in on that.

"Fine! October 31st! Why?" Once Daphne answered, Madam Pomfrey shifted her gaze from her to me.

"I take it that would be the last day everything was normal?" She looked me in the eye as she asked.

Lowering my eyes from hers, I glanced around before making eye contact with her and confirming. "Yeah."

"Hm, was she mad at you at the time?"

Thinking back, I replied. "Yeah, she was."

"Ah, and know we know why she didn't put up more of a fight."

"Excuse me! I'm right here!" Daphne butted into the two person conversation we were having. She was definitely not happy about being talked about and left out. She began again once she had our attention. "Well? What are you talking about?"

Madam Pomfrey turned her gaze to Daphne and then back to me raising an eyebrow. She was basically asking 'Do you want to do the honors or shall I?' I literally hear the sarcasm even though she didn't actually say the words.

"I'm good, I think I'll let you do it." No way did I want to try to explain that.

"You sure? I think she'll respond better coming from you."

"No no I don't think she will."

"Will somebody just tell me what the hell is going on?!" Good idea, looking at Madam Pomfrey I hoped she would just do it.

"Very well, Miss Greengrass. I shall explain."

Half Hour Later

Once Madam Pomfrey had finished explaining everything, she left and returned to her office and probably her bed.

We sat in silence until I felt someone's eyes on me. Looking up, I saw Daphne staring at me.

"Is it true?" She asked softly.

"That I woke you?" I paused and then began again at her nod. "Yeah."

"How'd you wake me?" She was curious. Not a good thing.

"I used a spell I found a while ago." I supplied hopping that satisfy her.

"Madam Pomfrey said that only a kiss from my true love would wake me and break the effects. Harry, did you kiss me?" Crap.

"Never ask a question you don't want to know the answer to."

"To late, I want the answer."

"Fine! Yes, I did. Look I'm sorry, she said it was me then I backed out and had people yelling at me to try and I-." I was interrupted from my ramblings by a pair of lips covering mine. I was stunned and didn't move. It took me a few seconds before I began to respond, kissing her back.

We pulled back a little bit later. "What was that?"

"That was me saying thank you. Finding your supposed true love doesn't happen everyday."

"So you, you believe it?"

"Well it doesn't matter either way. I like you but if we do this we go slow."

"Oka-." She interrupted me before I got to finish.

"And you keep me in the loop. No lying, I want to help." She stated firmly.

"Alright, fine." I agreed seeing no use in agruing. "That loss time, do yo-?"

"No, I don't want to know. Whatever happened doesn't matter."

"Okay. Well I'm gonna let you get your sleep and I'll see you in the morning." I stood and moved to leave but was stopped by the hand gripping mine. Turning back to Daphne, I sent her a questioning look.

"Uh Harry can you stay, please?" She wouldn't meet my eyes.

"Thought you said you wanted to take it slow?" I said playfully.

"You know what forget it was dumb." I backtracked as quick as I could.

"No I'm sorry, if you still want me to stay I will, no questions asked." She lifted her head and met my eyes before nodding slowly and shifted over in the bed.

Nodding in return, I went around to the other side of the bed and laid down. I was followed shortly by Daphne, who moved down the bed and rested her head over my heart snuggling into my side, in return I wrapped my arms around her tightly. We both drifted of to sleep shortly after.

A sound of a person clearing their throat, woke me up. Slowly opening my eyes I looked at the weight on my chest and a small smile came over my face. Hearing the throats clearing again, I looked away from Daphne and in the direction of the noise.

Spotting Tracey standing there with Lord and Lady Greengrass who all had questioning look on their faces I looked back down at our position and then back up. Okay so it was probably a pretty interesting sight considering the fact they had no idea what was going on.

"Um Harry what are you doing wrapped up in my daughter?" Cyrus asked.

Apparently the noise had woken Daphne because I felt her shift against me. Looking down, I saw her blinking her eyes waking up. She turned her head and froze when she saw Tracey and parents standing at the end of the bed. Then she repeated my earlier action and looked at our position before looking back up.

"Uh hey mum, dad. What brings you here?" She asked totally avoiding the elephant in the room.

"Well we were informed you were in a coma and weren't going to wake up unless a specific event happened. Once we got her we were sought out by Tracey who explained the whole thing and to be honest I think we're kinda shocked." Alexandra Greengrass supplied.

"And I wish I had been told of some of the events yesterday Mister Potter. That would've been nice of you." Cyrus stated not super happy at the turn of events.

"Yesterday?" Daphne questioned looking between her parents and Harry.

"I may have met with him yesterday?" I reached up and scratched the back of my neck.

She was about to reply when Dumbledore walked over. Great.


ATTENTION, IMPORTANT A/N!: Hey, so if you've read Left it All Behind then you know that it was written in third person and that I said that I was considering the idea of changing this story to third person. Right now it's just an idea but what do you guys think about it? Would you prefer I stick to first person for this story or change it to a third person story? Drop a comment if you want to weigh in on the decision. Right now I'm really leaning towards changing it to third person. I think the story would benefit from it. Also sorry for the below standard chapter but I had to end it there, I just wasn't really happy with this chapter. Thank you, enjoy and happy reading!
