Harry Potter and the Cruel Joke

Chapter 4/ Confused

Harry awoke very early next day feeling miserable and he didn't know why. He sat up and then he remembered.

"Oh why!" Harry whispered sadly. "Why me?"

"It's okay, you'll be fine," a soft voice whispered. A candle lit and Evainnah appeared out of the shadows of night.

Do it! No it now! She screamed to herself in her head. Tell himself that he has friends, a-- and a place where everybody knows him and loves him! Tell him now before Voldemort awakes! You know you love him and if you loved him enough, then you would have the courage to help save his life. But then a nasty little voice spoke in her head, But if you tell him then he would leave and you don't want that, do you? Evainnah choked on a sob that she was holding back. She was so confused!

Harry put his glasses on and sat up, "Evainnah? Is that you? And why are you crying?"

"I can't tell you," she said quietly.

"Come here," Harry said soothingly. Evainnah walked over to Harry's couch he was sleeping on. Harry looked into her big brown eyes and saw that she had a worried look in her eyes, as if she was occupied and confused. By Golly! Harry thought, she reminds me so much of somebody I once knew and loved. Maybe it was her that he loved before he forgot about life he was living. Whoever it was, the love was strong and all he wanted was to hold her, and Evainnah the same.

Evainnah felt butterflies in her stomach and wondered if she really did love the boy. They both were, after all, the same age. Evainnah let the tears burst, knowing that he would soothe her. Oh, just say you love me, so this curse will be over with! Just tell me how much you love, how much you want to be with me, and I'll be free! A tear fell onto Harry's face and Harry hugged her. He wiped her tears off and then they caught each other's eye. Harry's mouth opened a bit as they moved closer. Evainnah took that as an invitation. She moved up closer and kissed him. But it didn't stop there. They kissed and they both fell on the couch, still making-out. He ran his fingers through her long bushy brown hair, harry feeling quite self-satisfied.

Ohmygod, Evainnah thought as she was kissing him, am I actually kissing Harry Potter? Her hopes grew high and she knew that she had finally found the true one she loved.

After a while, they pulled apart and they got off the couch.

"I--er-- don't think we were supposed to do that," Evainnah admitted.

"I know, but I feel so much better now," harry said.

You do? She thought excitedly.

"We're just both confused," she explained.

"I see," Harry replied. "Er-- wanna do it again?"

They leaned forward but then they heard an evil laughter echo in the room. They both looked up to see Lord Voldemort standing in the doorway.

"I should have known," Voldemort muttered, still grinning malevolently, "to leave two people the same age in a house together. But Harry, dear boy, I've got news for you: You can't love nobody, remember? Especially Evainnah. Confused indeed."

Evainnah's heart broke. She found somebody she loved that actually liked her back, but Voldemort knew her hopes and dreams of being free so he stopped her.

"Confused indeed," Voldemort muttered again, "Because Evainnah is your sister."
