Hey guys here the fourteenth chapter. Sorry it took so long. I had it typed out and everything before now but my computer kind of died and so yeah I had to wait a while for my parents to get a new one and then we went on vacation and we hadn't upload Word 2010 yet to the computer so I couldn't do anything. When we got back I had writer's block so yeah. Here it is and again so it took so long.
Everything in this chapter (except for of course Elizabeth) belongs to J.K. Rowling.
Harry woke up same as he always sweating and with his scar hurting profusely. His morning routine carried on with his trip to the bathroom down the corridor. Finally he made his way down to the Common Room to see Hermione fast asleep at the table they were occupying last night. He walked over and sat opposite of her. Her head rested on her journal and crumpled up in her hand was the letter. He reached over and grabbed her journal which just happened to be opened to an interesting page. Written at the top in Hermione's curly script was Notes on the letter. Harry began reading Hermione's notes each more interesting to him than the last.
-Letter could possibly be written by Death Eaters to trick Harry into believing in something that's not real and throw him off.
-Parents seem to know too much (mysterious)
-Could possibly not be parents' handwriting (ask Harry later)
-Elizabeth didn't say anything when she gave it to him (questionable)
-Harry seems to have a love for letter (subtle but there)
-could have various meanings behind the word hard
-could also have various meanings behind the words your safety
-sounds odd to say that they kept the secrets from Harry to keep him safe (what could it mean)
The list went on and on but Harry had stopped reading. They were such excellent points so why hadn't she mentioned them last night. He looked over at her. She was still fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up anytime soon. Harry took the letter from her hand and looked it over. He could see where Hermione was getting her ideas from. He put the letter down and shook Hermione awake. Her eyes flickered open and she raised her head.
"What's wrong?" she asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Harry pushed the letter and her notebook towards her. "You read my notes?" Harry nodded.
"Why didn't mention of this last night?" Harry asked. Hermione just stared at him for a while. She picked up the letter and looked at it.
"Harry I didn't mention it because I knew you would get angry. You seemed pretty set on Elizabeth being an ally you may not have said it but your face showed it. And these things are just my opinions it doesn't mean they need to be brought up." Hermione finally stated. Harry sighed. He knew she was right. She was always right when it came to the things Harry didn't want to talk about.
"I agree with you on several things though. It does sound odd that they kept the secrets from me for my safety. I mean come on what could that mean? And my parents seem to know a little too much if they were writing this before now." Harry said. Hermione nodded.
"That's what we all agreed on last night your parents seem to know too much which is why I think they're not the ones who wrote it. Speaking of which have you ever seen their hand writing?" Hermione agreed. Harry shook his head.
"Not even a letter but we could ask Lupin or Sirius." Harry said to the disappointment of Hermione. Hermione sighed.
"But Harry when's the next time we're going to see those two?" Hermione said resting her head on her hand. Harry sighed. Yet again Hermione had made an excellent point he couldn't argue with. There was a thumping on the Girls' Dormitories steps that alerted them both. Then Ginny appeared at the bottom of the steps. Harry and Hermione both breathed a sigh of relief. Ginny walked over to them and sat down beside Hermione.
"What's up with you two?" she asked. Hermione nodded towards the letter and her notebook. Ginny nodded like she understood. "May I see your notebook, Hermione?" Hermione slid it to her. There were a few minutes of silence while Ginny read. Finally she looked up.
"So what did you think?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded.
"They're brilliant points, Hermione. I'll give you that but this is only the top of the barrel. I was up all last night thinking about the letter and I think we should talk to Elizabeth." Ginny said. Hermione looked ready to protest but Ginny cut her off. "I'm just saying, Hermione. She had the letter she might know about it."
"Yes but do you realize what that means? She could have Malfoy or Pansy or someone worse." Hermione argued. Harry sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Always quick to judge, are we?" Harry said smirking. Hermione kicked him from under the table.
"I'm just pointing out something we need to be aware of." Hermione said. Harry rolled his eyes again and chuckled to himself.
"You just keep telling yourself that, Hermione. In the meantime I'm going to go change and head down to the Great Hall." Harry said getting up and walking over to the Boys' Dormitories. Hermione and Ginny waved good-bye and he walked up the steps to where his friends were just getting up from bed.
Harry got dressed quickly so as to now be questioned by Ron or any other Gryffindor when he went to talk to Elizabeth. He got in the Great Hall when not many people were there. He spotted Elizabeth and Pansy sitting at the Slytherin table. Pansy didn't seem too happy in fact it looked as though she was extremely upset about something. Harry looked around them to see Malfoy and Blaise not too far away. Malfoy was watching Elizabeth and Pansy. Harry had an eerie feeling that he knew what he was thinking about. Harry walked over to where Elizabeth and Pansy were sitting; the letter was clutched in his hand. He cleared his throat when he got there. Elizabeth and Pansy looked up. Pansy's eyes narrowed and Elizabeth stared at him blankly.
"Um… hello I know we just met yesterday but may talk to you?" Harry said addressing Elizabeth. She stared at him for a few moments and then she got out of her seat.
"Elizabeth, where are you going? Get back here!" Pansy demanded. Elizabeth threw her an evil look that shut her up. Harry motioned for the Entrance Hall and Elizabeth led the way. Out of the corner of his eye Harry saw Malfoy looking at them his hand was clutched tightly around his spoon. Harry had the urge to laugh but he decided not seeing as Elizabeth and Malfoy seemed to be friends. They stopped outside of the Great Hall and Elizabeth turned to Harry. Harry unfurled the letter and handed it to Elizabeth. She took and looked at it for a few moments then looked back up at Harry.
"I was wondering if you could tell about this. Since you had it I thought you might be able to tell me something." Harry said. Elizabeth sighed and shook her head then she handed the letter back to Harry. Harry took to mean that she couldn't tell him anything. He was depressed to hear this. She put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him farther away from the door to the Great Hall. He wondered what was going on.
Review if you like I really don't care and again sorry it took so long. I promise to upload the 15th chapter as soon as I can.
