1Hey! I'm glad to be typing the next chapter for you. I have it written, and am still writing, but not as much. I need reference and can never find the time to do so, and it's the end of the school year. So much to do and transferring schools. No more of my rambling, I'd better start typing the story. I own nothing. I only own the characters Tara, Andi, and Taylor. Enjoy!

Chapter Twenty-one

A Breaking Heart and a Realization

The day after breakfast they all, excluding Taylor, went to the hospital wing to see Ron and Hermione. To their delight Luna was also there.

"Is everyone okay?" she asked.

"Yeah," Neville answered.

"Hi guys. I have to take several different potions." Hermione said. "Just thought I'd let you know. Where's Taylor? Did you tell him?"

"I told him, and he's fine." Andi replied.

"Ron, are you okay?" Tara asked.

"Yeah, I'll be out of here soon. That's what Madam Promfrey said anyway."

"That's great," she smiled.

Andi wondered why she had talked to Ron first. Oh well, it's not my business.

They all sat in-between the beds Ron and Hermione occupied and talked over what had happened.

Andi caught Harry's eye and smiled warmly. He didn't smile back. There wasn't that twinkle in his eye. It was there last night. He had doubt in his eyes instead.

What? Why is he looking at me like that?

She slipped her hand into his. He took his hand out and turned away.

"See you later guys."Andi said, trying to sound cheerful.

She ignored their questions and comments. Harry didn't do either. She had been listening for his voice.

She tried not to run out of the Hospital Wing. However, when she was around where they couldn't see her she broke into a run.

Tears were brimming in her eyes. She took shortcut after shortcut to the common room. Harry had shown them all to her.

"Password," the Fat Lady said.

"Fizzing Whizbee," Andi managed to choke out.

The Fat Lady opened, but the common room was empty. So was the dormitory. Everyone was out enjoying the nice weather.

She threw herself on her bed and cried her eyes out. Why is Harry acting this way? I thought he understood! I thought we had a connection! I know he wasn't pretending last night. Why has he changed so suddenly? Maybe, just maybe, if Dumbledore hadn't interrupted us...

Her thoughts were interrupted by Ginny coming into the dormitory. She pretended to be asleep. Ginny must not have seen her.

Andi was turned toward Ginny and had her eyes slightly open. She saw a huge smile on Ginny's face.

"Any time now," Ginny mumbled, "Any time soon he'll ask. Oh, how come I feel so good? Why do I feel good being evil? That comment last night was perfect. It totally changed his mind. Soon he'll ask me out and we'll snog all over the place. Especially in front of Andi. She almost ruined it. No thanks to her. I'd already be dating him if it wasn't for her."

Ginny finished doing her hair and make-up, grabbed Harry's Firebolt, and hurried out of the dormitory.

So that was her game. She had to tell Harry immediately. How? Ginny had a head start.

She clambered out of bed, grabbed her broom, and raced down the dormitory stairs. Too fast. Ginny saw her. Her eyes flamed.

"How much did you hear?"

"Enough," Andi said satisfactorily.

"Obliviate!" Ginny screamed.

Andi ducked, rushed out of the common room, and entered a shortcut.

Ginny was too fast for her.

"Pertificus Totalus!"

The spell hit Andi and she dropped.

"I will NOT let you spoil it. Harry's mine. He doesn't want you and he never will. Once I'm through telling him how you only want him because he's The Boy Who Lived he'll never listen to you when you tell him you love him. He'll think you just want him because he's the oly one to have survived the Killing Curse. Bye!"

Ginny left, leaving Andi in darkness.

NO! No! I can't let her do it. I can't! At least my wand's in my hand. Expecto Patronum.

A wisp of feeble smoke.

Expecto Patronum!

Another feeble wisp, but stronger than the last.

Her dream burst into her mind.

Expecto Patronum!

A bear-sized dog erupted from the end of her wand and sped out of the corridor. Once again, she was left in darkness.

I hope you liked the chapter!! Sorry it took so long for me to post, but I've been really busy.

Hope to get next chap up soon!! Already have it written. Just need to type! See ya!!

Okay. This is a song that just jumped into my head sometime and it pertained to both this chapter and the next chapter. Mostly this chapter though. I decided to share it with you since it pertained to this chapter and story. Here it is!!

Hello. How are you my love?

I can hardly forget

How I felt last night.

What's wrong?

Why do you mot smile?

Where's that twinkle in your eye?

Why's there doubt there instead?

CHORUS

What have I done wrong?

What have I done to deserve this look from you?

Tell me what's wrong.

I can fix it.

Love, tell me what's wrong.

Do you not remember what went on last night?

Do you remember how you felt?

Do you remember

What you said in the office?

I remember everything.

CHORUS

With that look you give me

My heart is breaking slowly.

Why do you look at me with such doubt?

Tell me why.

CHORUS 3X (fade out)

Well, there's the song that jumped to my head. I don't remember when it did, but it sure jumped into my head and tied in with this chapter!! Hope you enjoyed!!
