I just have a lot of Feelings
"Kazuha, guess what guess what?" Heiji asked his best friend excitedly as she came out of her house one morning.
"Ahou! Do you have to be so loud? And since when were you such a morning person?" Kazuha asked Heiji crossly as they began to walk to school. She hadn't slept properly the night before, and Heiji's extra chirpiness wasn't helping at all.
"Guess what I was doing last night?" Heiji asked Kazuha, ignoring her question and waving a piece of paper in her face. Kazuha grabbed the paper off Heiji's hand and read it through, before looking at Heiji in confusion.
"Tickets to the new Harry Potter movie?" She asked. "Since when were you such a Harry Potter fan? I thought you liked crime and thriller novels, not fantasy."
"Not just tickets, I got us tickets to the midnight screening of the latest Harry Potter movie!" Heiji said enthusiastically. "And I dunno, I figured watching the movie might help me learn more about KID, since he's a magician, and Harry Potter…"
"… is a wizard! There is a difference, you know." Kazuha said in amusement. "I'm not sure what they have in common; even their magic is different types!"
"Oh don't be such a spoilsport!" Heiji said with a huff, disappointed at Kazuha's lack of enthusiasm. "And you have to admit, the Harry Potter movies are pretty good; we've basically grown up watching them!"
"That I have to agree. But Heiji, how on earth are you going to stay awake until midnight? You know your eyes start drooping after 11, how are you going to sit through a two and a half hour movie that starts at midnight?" Kazuha said teasingly. Sure, the Harry Potter movies were good, but she had no idea why Heiji was getting so excited about this particular movie.
"I've got it all sorted out," Heiji said proudly. "I'll just ask the doctor to prescribe me some pills to prevent me from falling asleep until after the movie, then I won't have to worry about falling asleep during it!"
"If you're sure then," Kazuha said doubtfully. She had a bad feeling about pills that could supposedly keep Heiji awake past eleven. There were bound to be some side effects, weren't there?
November 19th
Midnight Screening
"Did you take the pills?" Kazuha asked as they made their way into the cinema. She didn't know why they had to come for the midnight screening; now they were surrounding by Harry Potter diehard fans who had even dressed up as wizards and witches themselves for the special occasion.
"Yup, just before we met up," Heiji said excitedly. "Wow, can you believe we'll be the first people in Japan to see Harry Potter? Do you think we should've dressed up too?"
"No Heiji, I am not playing dress ups with you. Why are you so chirpy anyway?" Kazuha asked as they sat down in their seats, the bad feeling she had increasing as Heiji seemed to get more and more excited every minute.
"Shhhh!" Heiji said to Kazuha loudly. "The movie's about to start! And I don't know, I just am!"
"Obliviate" Hermione whispered, her voice shaking as she pointed her wand at her parents. Slowly, the photos of herself on the mantle above the fireplace disappeared, leaving nothing but an empty frame, or photos of her parents, smiling. It was hard, but it was for the best, and she looked at her parents one more time before walking out the door.
Kazuha hastily wiped the tear away; if Heiji saw her crying within five minutes of the movie, he was bound to tease her about it, and a hyper Heiji annoying her was something she didn't want to deal. Glancing to her left, Kazuha was startled to see Heiji using his sleeves as tissues as the tears poured down his face. The last time she had seen him cry was when he was five. "Are you okay?" she whispered, wondering why on earth he was getting so emotional. Sure, the scene was sad, but not that sad, was it?
"Fine," Heiji grumbled back. "I yawned and my eyes got watery."
"Sure you did," Kazuha said with a grin, as she turned back to face the screen. Ah, boys. Never liked to admit they were tearing.
Hedwig swooped in and attacked the Death Eater's face, only to be hit by a jet of green light at the next moment. Her last screech rang loudly in the night as she fell to the ground below.
"No. NO!" Harry shouted as he watched his beloved pet fall; the death eater that had attacked her now flew away, and Harry just stared until he could no longer see the man.
"I always thought it was stupid how they killed off Hedwig. That was completely unnecessary, don't you think?" Kazuha asked Heiji as Voldemort came flying towards Harry on the screen.
"I know! It's …. so… just so… SAD!" Heiji wailed as he got out a tissue and blew his nose noisily. "She never did anything WRONG!"
Kazuha was now completely terrified at this slightly hysterical Heiji and attempted to comfort him by patting him gently on the shoulder. "No, she didn't, did she? It's okay Heiji, she died saving Harry." A small part of Kazuha was secretly laughing in delight at this completely abnormal behaviour of the Osakan detective, and thought she should really record this down for future blackmailing purposes. However, she pushed that thought firmly to the back of her mind as she handed Heiji another tissue.
The next day
Maths Class
"…And so, you take the log of this one…" the maths teacher droned on, and Kazuha felt herself drifting off to sleep. The movie was good, and it had been worth getting three hours of sleep only, but now she had to pay the price.
"HATTORI!" The maths teacher barked, jerking Kazuha out of her nap. "What's the matter?" The whole class turned to look at Heiji who was actually hysterical, his sobs coming in bursts as his whole body shook.
"DOBBY DIED!" Heiji said loudly, before completely breaking down and yet again blowing his nose noisily on a tissue. Kazuha hadn't noticed before, but Heiji actually had a box of tissues out on his desk, from which he was pulling out tissue after tissue in a very unmanly manner.
The maths teacher sighed and said to Kazuha, "I don't think he's going to be concentrating very much today, why don't you take him home."
"Yes sir!" Kazuha said with a small smile as she packed up Heiji's bag and pulled his arm to make him get out of his seat. Heiji was such a softie at heart. That, and she vowed to never go near those pills that Heiji took. Ever.
A/N: Cookie if you can guess where the title comes from! And I'll admit, I teared up in that Hermione bit too. Just like to thank all the people who've still put this story on alert/ favourited it even though it's been so long since I last updated. Review please? :)
