Disclaimer: Same as before.
A/N: I'm soooo stupid. I uploaded the wrong chapter to this story. Opps! Well, here's the right chapter.
Once everyone was asleep, I grabbed my invisibility cloak and headed down the stairs. I was reaching the portrait when I bumped into...well, I bumped into thin air. "Who's there?" I asked as I pulled off the hood. At the same moment, another voice asked the same question. Of course, I'd forgotten that Harry had an invisibility cloak.
"Hi," he said a little shyly. "Are you headed to the kitchen?"
"Uh, yeah. I got a little hungry." Harry turned his dazzling smile on me and I felt my knees go weak. I wish my body would react to the decision I already made.
"Great, there was where I was headed. It'd be nice to have some company?" His statement sounded like a question. I only nodded my head and we covered of heads back up. Exiting out of the portrait, we headed out of our journey.
When we finally reached the kitchens, we took off our cloaks. Much to my surprise, I saw Dobby. What was he doing here? The Malfoys' would never let him go, he knew too much.
"Mister Potter, sir, Dobby glad to see you. Come, come. What can we do for you?"
"It's good to see you too, Dobby. Can Lorene and I just have some sandwiches?"
"Mister Potter has brought another friend?" Dobby began to look around and he finally saw me. I felt a smile fill my face. Dobby had been my best friend whenever I was forced to visit Malfoy Manor. "Mistress Snape, is that you?"
"Of course Dobby, and how many time do I have to tell you to call me Lorene?" I bent down until I was level with him. I quickly gather him into a hug.
"Dobby heard that you were here, but thought that it wasn't true."
"It's true, but why aren't you at Malfoy Manor?"
"Mistress Snape don't know?" Dobby eyes filled with tears of adoration. "Mister Potter saved Dobby from such evil wizards. Dumbledore gave Dobby and job, and even pays Dobby." Dobby began to get really excited. I laughed as he went on to tell me everything that had happen to him since I last saw him.
Our conversation was interrupted when another house-elf brought up a basket full of food. Taking the basket, we left and I promised Dobby that I would come and see him again. Deciding that it was best to get out the castle for a while, we headed towards the lake. Making sure we stayed under the cover of our cloaks, we began to eat. We sat in silence until we couldn't stand it anymore.
"How do you know Dobby?" Harry asked in hopes to start a conversation.
"My mother would have to attend parties at Malfoy Manor, so she dragged me with her. I remember the first time I went. My mother said there would be a little boy that I could play with, so I was all excited. The moment I stepped into the house, Draco did nothing but teased me. Finally, I hid and that was where I found Dobby. We began to talk and after that I always talked to him when I was forced to attend the parties."
We sat in silence for some more. I couldn't help but notice the romantic atmosphere we were in. I started to daydream. All the sudden, we took off our cloaks. They had gotten too hot and heavy. I could hear music being played and watched as Harry stood up. Slowly, he offered me his hand and I stood up. Encircling my waist, he pulled me closer and we began to dance. It all felt so real, so good. I leaned in closer and placed my head on his shoulder. I knew he'd keep me safe. I tilted my head up slightly and he lowered his head. I was pulled into the most romantic kiss there was. I never wanted it to stop, but I knew this was a dream.
Dumbledore's POV
"I don't agree with what you are doing!" Severus yelled into my ear for the millionth time. We were in my office watching the scene below us unfold. Sometimes people just needed a nudge, and thanks to the house-elves that was easily accomplished.
I turned and flashed Severus a smile. "You know they need each other, especially after what will happen tomorrow."
"But that," Severus said as he pointed at the lake, "is not real. A potion made them do that. And pray tell," Snape asked, "how will this help them tomorrow?"
I couldn't help but laugh. He knew exactly what I was trying to do, but was too thick-headed to admit it. He didn't want them together because Harry was James' son and Lorene was all the family he had left. He didn't want her hurt and was afraid that Harry would become is father.
"Severus, Severus, Severus. If they continue to treat each other the way they've been doing, I afraid that one or both will not survive. They are focused more on controlling they're feeling than on defeating Voldemort. This will just help get things on the right path."
Severus still looked mad enough to spit nails, but couldn't get the words out. Instead he threw another "I do not agree with what you are doing!" and stormed out of my office. I looked back at the lake and turned back around. This would be much better.
Original POV
The stars overhead were nothing compared to the stars I saw as Harry continued to kiss me. Finally, we broke the kiss. "This has got to be a dream," I whispered. Harry smiled and whispered, "I hope we never wake up."
In the back of my head, I could hear myself say "Cheesy", but I melted anyways. Keeping up the whispering, I leaned closer to his ear. I couldn't look him in the face when I said my next news. "I love you."
I felt Harry tense up, and I scramble out of his arms. I was right. Harry didn't feel the same way towards me. Tears filled my eyes and I began to run towards the castle. Suddenly I felt my feet leave the air and I was in Harry's arms. "Why are you running?" he asked.
I couldn't speak and let the tears rin down my face, I knew I was making a bigger fool of myself, but I couldn't control and didn't want to control it anymore. "Shush," he whispered as he sank to the ground. Slowly, he wiped tears from my face. "Lorene," he said as I moved my face away from him, "look at me." I tried to ignore him, but finally my curiosity took over. "I love you too."
Things started to go black and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed. Damn, I knew it was just a dream!
