A/N: Thank you to everyone who told me the name of that song! And I have written a short story and I really think you should read it. It's about what I have found out so far about life. People seem to like it so far. I would like to thank Mystery Girl for reviewing all of my original stuff. And thank you to all of the people who have reviewed all of my Harry Potter series. I appreciate it.
Part Six:
Graduation
Harry sat directly in front of the fire in the common room. Most everyone had gone home for Christmas except for Harry and the rest and a couple of people in different years, but the room was basically quiet. He saw Alex out of the corner of his eye sitting in a nearby chair sipping a cup of hot chocolate. He loved the way her hair fell over her face just perfect. He also loved the way she could wear jeans and an Alabama sweat shirt and still look beautiful. She took another sip. He went back to looking at the fire. It was so boring. He went to his dorm, and got his jacket, and headed outside. When he reached the steps, he saw Alex sitting at the very bottom.
" Hey." he said, walking down to sit by her.
" Oh, Uh..Hi." she said.
" You want to go for a walk with me?" he asked.
" Yeah." she said. They began to walk around the castle. There was snow everywhere, but the wind wasn't blowing hard so it didn't feel as cold. They had made it around to the back of the castle when he noticed her shiver slightly. He put his arm around her.
" Better?" he asked.
"Harry, I'm not your girlfriend anymore. You don't have to do stuff like this." she said.
" I know I don't have to........I want to." he said. She pulled away from him.
" Don't do this." she said.
" Do what?" he asked.
" This! You - you make me feel all guilty about what happened like it was my fault!" she said.
" Well, you are the one who said it was over." he said.
" What?! So - so now you're trying to blame it on me?!" she said." I've heard enough!" she said.
There was an open door on the side of the wall, and Alex walked into it. He followed.
" Look! I never wanted to hurt you! I would rather face Voldemort fifteen BILLION times before hurting you! You mean everything to me Alex! Can't you see that?" he asked.
" Well ya did hurt me!" she said. They suddenly heard a bang. They whirled around and saw that the door had slammed shut. Harry ran up to it and turned the handle. It was locked. He slowly turned around and looked at her.
" Well?" she asked.
" Locked." he said.
" Oooooooh Noooooo!" she said." The last thing I want is to be stuck in here with you!"
" Same here." he said. They stood there for a minute.
" Do you think she's pretty?" Alex asked.
" Who? Alyssa? Well, she's not ugly or anything, but she can never come close to you." he said.
" D - Did you like it w-when she kissed you?" she said, trying to act dignified while asking such questions.
" No, I didn't. I hated it." he said.
Five Minutes Later...........
They were sitting next to each other on the floor.
" Have you gone on any dates since......" he asked.
" I was hit on by a couple of people. I couldn't bring myself to do it though. I also knew that the only reason they were asking me was because they wanted to steal Harry Potters girlfriend." she said. They got quiet again.
" Have you........" she asked.
" No. I didn't want to." he said.
Another Five Minutes Later.............
Alex was now standing up and walking around.
" Harry, WHY did you have to go meet her? If you hadn't done that then this never would've happened." she said.
" I was going to tell her to leave me alone, but then she started telling me that thing about Malfoy." he said.
" And you believed her?" she said.
" Yeah, but I wish I hadn't." he said." Why did you give up so easily anyway? It wasn't all my fault." he said.
" You're still trying to blame me? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to do that? Do you know how hard it was to see you the night of the Yule Ball, and see how wonderful you looked, and to be so afraid that you had found a date? You don't know how hard that was!" she said.
" Hard for you?! You don't know how hard it was to see how YOU looked that night! How your hair looked just right, and I just wanted to touch you, you know? You take my breath away, Alex!" he said.
" Well, you take mine away!" she said.
Three Minutes Later.....
Harry was leaning against the wall and Alex was still walking around.
" Brrrrrr, It's cold in here." she said, shivering.
" What do you suggest we do?" he asked.
" Well, we need to be moving." she said." How 'bout this!"
She ran over to him and started tickling him. He squirmed and giggled like he was five.
" Alex! Alex! Hehehehe......" He pulled her around and threw her against the wall, then started tickling her.
" Okay! Okay! Harry!" she said. He put his arms on either side of her, and propped himself up on the wall while trying to catch his breath. She had her arms lying gently on his shoulders. When he raised his head he was looking right into her eyes. He stood up straight, and ran his fingertips along her cheek, and then across her lips. He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back. It was slow and sweet. When they stopped he said-
" I love you Alexandra."
" I love you t-" but he was already kissing her again. Harry all of a sudden felt a rush of cold air. They both turned and saw that the door was opened again. Smiling, they left, happier than they had been all year.
When they had turned the corner, and were out of sight, a tall man with blue eyes and demples came out from behind a nearby bush, swinging his wand. He pointed it at the door, and it slammed shut. He flicked it again, and the door opened. Blowing on the tip of his wand like it was the barrel of a gun he had just shot, Reese congratulated himself on the success of his plan to get his daughter back with the one she loved.
~@#%$!#^%&#%^@%!%^&#%^&#^
The quidditch field was full. There was a raised stage in the middle of it. All around the stage were chairs for the students.The stands were filled with proud parents. Every student on the field wore dress robes the color of their houses with little graduation hats the same color. Professor Dumbledore was calling people up to get their diplomas. Hermioine was next, then Ron, Harry, Alex, and Brendon. When they were called up they shook hands with the whole faculty and then sat back down. Reese gave Alex a kiss on the cheek instead of shaking hands. When everyone had gotten their diplomas, Professor Dumbledore stood and spoke.
" May I present to you, the graduating class of 2003!(A/N: I think!)" he said.
The field exploded with sound and everyone hugged evryone else. They all went into the Great Hall for the party, where Ron did something nobody expected. He nealed down beside Hermione's chair, and got a box out of his pocket. She went pale.
" Hermione Granger, I have been in love with you from the moment I first laid eyes on you. It would make me so happy if you would be my wife." he said. She started crying and smiled.
" Yes." she said. She threw her arms around him, and cried. Harry and the rest laughed and patted them on the back. Mrs.Weasley was saying-
" I have another daughter!"
!#^%@$&%^@%$!^%%^%!
They partied all night. By the time they went home they were very tired. Harry started thinking, as he looked at Alex, maybe Ron had the right idea.
