The sunlight was just creeping onto where Cooper sat in the dorm, stroking Tambre. She was just sitting with the cat on her lap, wondering how she could keep having these memories even in her dreams. 'They're becoming more frequent. I just wish they'd disappear!' She had tears brimming in her eyes as images began to flash into her mind, of her running into the wall, of being hit, of…
Tap…
"What the?"
Tap… tap…
"Who is it?" Cooper walked over and called through the door.
"It's Ron. I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me before breakfast." Cooper's eyes darted down to what she was wearing.
"Um yeah, be out in just a sec."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cooper and Ron had been walking quietly for a couple of minutes when he finally broke the silence.
"I like Hermione." Cooper just laughed as she listened to him say it in one breath.
"I know Ron, it's not a big deal."
"No, you don't get it Cooper, I mean I like Hermione Granger, the know-it- all. The smartest girl in Gryffindor, if not the entire bloody school!"
"What does it matter if she's smart!? That will have no effect whatsoever on how she feels about you."
"But what if she realizes that I'm not who she thinks I am?"
Cooper stopped and looked at Ron carefully. "Ron, what do you mean?"
"What if she sees me as a poor wizard who has ugly red hair, freckles, is lanky, and not smart, and even worse, poor?"
"And what if she sees you as the caring, sensitive, funny, interesting, brilliant red-headed Weasley that you are? Would that be so bad?" Ron looked at Cooper with amazement. He couldn't believe she had just said all of those things about him, when they didn't really even know one another. Cooper reached over and gave Ron a friendly hug. "You have nothing to worry about Ron, trust me."
He smiled his thanks and then changed the subject. "So how are things with you and Wood?"
Cooper just looked at him, feigning ignorance.
"Oh come off it! He likes you, you know. He really does. I don't see why you don't know that. Bloody hell, even Malfoy knows it. Or, he would if he stopped being such an up-righteous and stuck up bloke."
"I know he likes me, I just, you wouldn't understand." Cooper shrugged off his inquiring eyes and started back towards the castle.
"Try me." Ron reached out and stopped her, turning her to face me.
"Maybe some other time. We're gonna be late for breakfast. C'mon."
They both wandered back into the castle, Ron with more reassurance, and Cooper longing for something she could never have again.
