21 Jealousy
(Riley's Home: Riley's pov)
"I'm am really hesitant about this Joy."
"Oh come on Fear, what could happen by accepting a friend's help?"
"A lot. You know how crazy Katie's plans can be. Remember when she try to make cookies by herself and dragged Riley in it?"
"That was different Fear. I'm sure nothings gonna happen this time."
After Harry checked out of the hospital, Riley went back home while Harry went back to his house. With permission from her parents, Katie went to Riley's house and right now, the two of them are in her room to plan on how to get Harry's heart. And in Riley's head, Fear and Joy are arguing about the pros and cons about accepting Katie's help while the others are watching the argument.
"How can you be so sure Joy?" Fear asked. "You know you can't put your full confidence on everything. Otherwise, it'll go bad." Joy flinch a little at that. She's sure Fear didn't meant it, but he implied the time she tried to get Riley to be happy about San Francisco when they first moved their.
Joy thought about a compromise before snapping her finger. "Okay, how about this? You, me, Disgust, and Affection can be at the console. You can have Riley be cautious about any plans that you think is too crazy. Deal?" Fear thought about it for a bit before nodding. At least it's better than accepting any plan Katie will make, even the most outrageous ones.
So with that, all of the emotions went to the console, with Anger and Sadness as support. Disgust, Joy, Fear, and Affection are the main emotions controlling the console now, so they can help Riley plan to get Harry.
"So, let's start operation dating." Katie said, the two of them sitting indian style on Riley's bed. "The first order of the operation is to discuss the progress you make while in the friend zone."
"Shouldn't we have Allie in the conversation?" Riley asked nervously. While a part of her wants the help, the other part wants to delay this as long as possible.
Katie, however, was stubborn. "Don't worry, we'll update her on your crush when we go to school. Right now, I want to hear every detail." Riley groan before talking. She told her everything she does with Harry, as well as the fight they had.
"Hmmm." Katie said, processing the information before speaking. "You made some progress with the occasional kisses on the cheeks and the cuddling, but the argument and you calling him a freak set that back a bit."
Riley slumped a little at that. "So what do you suggest we do?" She soon regreted asking that when she saw the light in Katie's eyes.
"We'll need to set up something big." Katie said, with an eager grin. "Something dramatic. Something that will have you two as boyfriend and girlfriend in no-"
"No, no, no, no, no!" Fear exclaimed, freaking out. He drastically started pressing buttons. "Gotta stop this, gotta stop this!" That cause Riley to react.
"No, no, Katie! Nothing big!" Riley said, a bit of panic in her voice. "Let just try to do this subtly. We don't want to scare Harry away." She saw Katie pout, but nod anyway, making Riley sigh in relief. Whenever Katie tries to plan something big, or plan anything at all really, she gets a bit too carried away.
In her head, Fear slumped on the console in relief. "Thank goodness we avoided a catastrophe." Fear said in relief.
"Okay, so how about this?" Katie said, after a moment. "You should look for any opportunity to get closer to Harry. When you see it, seize it before anyone else can. I know at least a few girls at our school is interested in Harry, as well as that Selene look from the worried look on her face when Harry got knocked out. It nearly matched yours."
In her head, Anger slammed his fist on the console. "Oh hell no! No other girl is going to steal Riley's crush!"
"Agreed." Disgust said curtly, both of them having their hands on the console. That cause Riley to scowl and clench her fist. She is not going to let anyone take Harry away from her.
Katie saw the look on her face and smirked. "Oh? You're the jealous type of girl? Or possessive?" Katie smirked even more while Riley blushed.
"I-uh-maybe?" Riley stammered out, not looking at her. Okay, maybe she was feeling a bit possessive/jealous at the thought of another girl liking Harry.
"Don't worry, Riley. I'm sure that your the only girl for Harry." Katie said in comfort. "You two practically stick to each other like glue. No one else is closer to Harry than you."
Riley smile at that, but it didn't reach her face. There are times Harry talks about his friends back in England and it sound likes someone else is closer to Harry than she is.
Well, she is going to try her best to become closer to him. After all, she isn't one to give up.
(A couple of days later)
It's been days since the quidditch game. Ever since then Riley, Katie, and Allie, along with his quidditch team and his guardians, were doing all they can to cheer him up.
The second encounter with the dementors affected him greatly, to the point that he could barely sleep without having nightmares. He tried to hide the fact that he could barely get any sleep, but his friends and family aren't fooled.
In his head, the emotions are worried for the boy as well. Whenever any of them are on dream watching duty, they all had to wake him up from the nightmare before it gets too bad. Fear suggested getting a dreamless potion, but Anger vehemently disagreed with that idea. He doesn't want Harry to be forced into sleep.
They kept arguing until Sadness decided to wait. If the nightmares get worse instead of better, they'll tell Sirius about it and get the potion. The two of reluctantly agree with that idea.
Meanwhile, Riley is worried for Harry. She can see, like anyone else, that Harry isn't getting much sleep. She wants to help him so badly, but doesn't know how.
The emotions in her head are also at a loss at how to comfort Harry. Whenever Sadness or Affection try to get him to talk about it, he close himself off. It's hard to help him when he does that.
Right now, Riley and her friends are watching Harry playing quidditch. Her hockey practice was finished early, so she, Katie, and Allie decided to wait for him while he finish practice. Today, the four of them are going to the arcade.
"Whenever Harry is on the field, he seemed completely relaxed, but focused." Allie commented, as he started chasing down the snitch. "If we didn't see him before this, we wouldn't have thought that he was still troubled."
Katie nodded in agreement. "Not really surprising, considering his love for flying." Katie said. "It's probably even stronger than Riley's love for hockey, no offense there girl."
"None taken." Riley responded back with a smile. "I agree with you on that." There are times that not even hockey would clear her mind.
After a couple more minutes, practice was over for the quidditch players. Riley, Katie, and Allie quickly got off the benches and go to the team to get Harry. As they got closer to to the team, Riley frown when she saw that Selene girl was approaching Harry.
As she walked towards them, he pace quicken when she heard Selene grab one of his arms and started speaking to him. "So, Harry, I was wondering if we can hang out?"
In Riley's head, Disgust scowl at the black hair girl. "Oh no, you are not taking Harry away from Riley." Affection nodded in agreement with a cute scowl of her's and the two got on to the console to get Riley to stop her.
Before Harry could answer Selene, Riley grabbed onto Harry's other arm. "I'm sorry, but Harry already agreed to go to the arcade with us." Riley said politely to Selene, careful not to show any venom in her tone.
Selene had a quick scowl for a second before smiling sweetly. "Well, it's Harry's choice whether or not to go with you. I just want to spend some time with him since we don't get to hang out much." At that, she tugged at Harry's arm.
In Riley's head, Disgust's eyes narrowed. "So that's how you want to play it huh? Anger, we'll need your help."
"On it." The red emotion said, joining the other two. Him being on the console causing Riley to get a bit more aggressive.
"Well, he already promised so he'll have to decline." Riley said, tugging on Harry's other arm. The boy looked confused and a bit panicky as the two keep pulling his arms while the others look at them in amusement.
In his head, his emotions are also confused and a bit worried for the boy. "Um, what the heck is happening here Sadness?" Anger asked in confusion.
"I don't know. What do you think Affection?" Sadness asked, turning to the pink emotion. Out of all of them, Affection has the most experience with these things.
He shrugged in response. "Your guess is as good as mine. Possibly jealousy?" Even though he's more of an expert in the boyfriend and girlfriend kind of love, even he doesn't know what a girl is thinking.
"He's coming with me."
"No, he coming with me."
"Back off."
"No, you back off."
The girls are all stifling their laughter or giggles at the scene before them while the guys are all grinning. Allie, feeling a bit bad for the black haired wizard, decided to negotiate between the two.
"How about we all go together?" Allie reasoned between the two of them. "That way, nobody will end up disappointed." Harry quickly agreed to that idea, wanting his arms back from the girls' grips.
Riley and Selene stare at each other, before the both of them saying, "Fine." In Riley's head, Disgust and Affection had fire in their eyes while glaring at the Selene girl.
If it was a war she wants, it's a war they are willing to give.
(Arcade)
Harry has never been to an arcade before. It wasn't because his uncle forbid him to go there, but he never had the money to play any of those games. Plus, Dudley and his gang hang out there sometimes, giving him another reason not to go.
When he told Riley, Allie, and Katie, they decided to take him to an arcade. He was a bit worried that going there would trigger a flashback, but shut down that worry, not wanting to disappoint his friends.
He was glad though, because when he went in the arcade, he was in awe. The room looks dark, but that was made up for the many lights from the games here. And there were so many games that Harry couldn't count them.
In his head, the emotions are in awe of the games here as well. They've never saw anything like this, seeing an arcade for the first, is amazing, though not as amazing as seeing Hogwarts.
"This. Is. Awesome." Joy excitedly, slamming her hands on the console in excitement. "What do you think we should play first guys? The shooting games, the sports one, the laser tag, which one?"
Most of the emotions look at Joy in amusement, deciding to let her handle this. After all, this place look like a place of joy, so that will fit perfectly with this emotion.
"So, what game do you want to play Harry?" Riley asked him, standing by his side. With them is Allie and Katie, along with Selene, Madison, and Chad. The rest of the quidditch players decided to go back home.
Harry looked around the place, trying to decide which game to choose. "I don't know." He admitted. "They all look so fun and I want to try them all."
Riley smiled widely from seeing the excitement in Harry's eyes and, due to influence from Affection, grab his hand. "Then how about he we go to the laser tag?"
Harry nodded to that, but was a bit startled when Selene grab his arms and hold it between her own arms. "I agree, let's go. Maybe we can be on the same team together." Riley silently glare at Selene while the black hair girl smirk back at her.
Behind them, the chasers, Katie, and Allie either chuckled or giggled at the sparks coming from the girl's forehead. Something tells them that this rivalry is only the beginning.
Harry looked at Selene and Riley with confusion and nervousness. Why does it feel like he's between two bombs?
And that's the end. I hope you guys like the chapter. Sorry I took so long to update, but I've been busy with schoolwork, chores, and taking care of siblings. I might have to do short chapters if this keeps up. So what do you think about this? And with the talk Riley and Katie had, along with the rivalry between Riley and Selene? And also, what do you think I should do with it now that I set it up? Please let me know on the reviews. And don't be cruel or mean about it, just give me your honest opinion.
Part of the reason it took so long to update is because I was hesitant on making a jealousy scene for Riley. I really hope I didn't mess up in it. If I do, then sorry. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you guys later.
