The Entrance Hall

Michaela was waiting for Tristan in the entrance hall when uncle Albus came up to her and said:

"Well my dear you look absolutely radiant!"

"Well thank you Uncle Albus! Merry Christmas!" said Michaela as she leaned up and kissed professor Dumbledore on the cheek.

"Ahh my dear I recognize those infamous slippers! How I remember them!"

Finally Tristan appeared. Michaela being polite said to her uncle

"Uncle Albus you know Tristan Miller, the Ravenclaw seeker?"

"Yes, yes how are you my boy? I trust you'll take good care of my niece?"

"Well yes sir, I'm fine and I will take good care of her sir."

They then proceeded into the hall.

They met up with Hermione and Ron and Harry and his date that was some Ravenclaw girl. They all were dancing and enjoying themselves when the doors to the Great Hall opened and in walked………….

Ryan, Michaela's ex. She was dancing with Tristan at the time and he walked up to her and roughly grabbed her arm and glared at Tristan.

"Michaela can we talk?!"

Michaela just stared at him and said, " What are you doing here?"

"Well I heard that my girlfriend's school was having a ball and just figured that I was her escort you know 'cause I am her boyfriend!"

"No you're not! You sent me that letter! The one saying we needed a 'break'!"

"Yea but that didn't mean we were breaking up!"

"Well it sure did seem like it to me!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Can we go somewhere private?"

Their conversation had become very loud and people were staring.

"Hold on"

Michaela walked over to her uncle and asked to use his office. When he said yes she turned on her heel and walked over to Ryan and pulled him away from his fans. It was an uncomfortable and silent trip up to Dumbledore's office. The fist word spoken was by Michaela and was the password.

"Caramel Unicorn Horns"

The door opened and Michaela sat behind her uncle's desk. Fawkes the phoenix flew over and sat on her knee.

"Tell me, Ryan, what you are really doing here?"

"God Chae! You make it so damn difficult!"

"How do I make it difficult Rye? How?!?" She said assertively.

"Well I walk in here and you are more beautiful then ever and so self assured and confident, and I see you looking at this guy the way you used to look at me and I fall into a wave of jealousy! Chae I love you I want you back!"

"As touching as that is I don't want you back!" she said as she stood up and turned to exit.

"Michaela! I know you aren't that cold talk to me now!"

"Fine! You want me to tell you what I am feeling?"

"Yes!"

"Ryan when I got that letter I was heartbroken! I felt like the little bit of my old world I still had left was suddenly shattered in 4 words! You hurt me more then you will ever know!"

"I'm sorry and I am begging you to take me back!"

"No Ryan you had your chance and I am not going to waste my tears on you when the next flavor of the week comes along and I am history again." After the words came out of her mouth she apparated to the ballroom, something she had been practicing with the help of Dumbledore, after all she needed something to do while wallowing. Soon Ryan found his way to the Great Hall. He walked over to where she was sitting telling Hermione, Ron and Harry what happened.

"Don't lecture me about having a 'flavor of the week' as you put it. I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't done all the guys in the hall especially pretty boy over there! Whore!"

That was it Ron and Harry were not going to stand and let this guy say stuff like that about their friend. They both jumped up and immediately pulled out their wands shouting different curses at him. Ryan may have been able to sing well but he wasn't a very good wizard. Where a simple Expelling Charm would have done the trick he just not fast enough for Harry or Ron. He was hit with a Furnunculus curse and a Tarantallegra curse, which caused him to explode in boils and uncontrollable movement. Michaela had disappeared during all of this. Harry decided to go look for her. He found her in the fairy garden. She was sitting on a bench looking very angry.

*In Harry's thoughts *

"God she is hot when she is mad!"

"Harry what are you talking about she doesn't like you and never will!"

"Yea but she is so great!"

"I can't believe that guy was so cruel"
*End*

Michaela noticed Harry and said:
"Thanks Harry for sticking up for me in there"

"You're welcome," said Harry sitting down next to her.

All of a sudden Michaela was getting hot. She was beginning to feel drawn to Harry.

She lent in slightly and Harry leaned to meet her lips. Then their lips touched briefly and Michaela opened her mouth to deepen their kiss. Her hand flew to the back of Harry's neck. Before Harry knew what he was doing his hand was on her thigh and her arms around his waist. Suddenly they heard footsteps and they broke apart flustered. Michaela jumped up and ran when she recognized her uncle's voice.

* In the Hospital Wing*

*Ryan's thoughts*

She thinks she got rid of me with a couple of rude words and a goodbye! Well I'll show her she hasn't seen the end of me I'll be back and even more irresistible then ever!

*End*

*The next Morning before Breakfast*

Prof. Dumbledore stopped Michaela to find out what had happened the night before. She told him then asked what had happened to Ryan. Professor Dumbledore said he went to Madame Pomfrey. Michaela had a strange feeling Ryan hadn't left. She was now worried things between her and Harry would be uncomfortable after last night. But oh well what is done is done. But every time she thought of Harry she got the chills; she was beginning to like him, a lot.

Gryffindor common room

Michaela was sitting with Hermione when Harry came in. He kind of looked uncertain about whether he should sit down with them or not. Michaela noticed this and said " Harry come sit down" so he did.

Suddenly the common room door opened and in walked Ryan!

* Michaela's Thoughts *

How the hell did he get the password!

Shit oh my god what am I gonna say

Oh my god Oh my god!

* end*

He walked in with a cocky attitude and sat down next to her and said" Hey baby" and kissed her cheek.

"LEAVE" she bellowed

"Aw honey I know you didn't mean that" he said his hand sliding his hand up around her shoulders. But Michaela was tough she didn't put up with that she quickly shrugged is arm off from her shoulders. He ignored it and introduced himself:

"Hello I don't think we've been introduced properly I'm Ryan Dunn Michaela's boyfriend"

"Oh I'm Hermione Granger" she said stuttering a little, slightly starstruck

"Oh And this is Harry Potter who chose to be rude!"

"Hi" said Ryan

Michaela was so angry she just got up and was about to leave but Ryan caught her around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. She couldn't take any more of this! She turned around and said:

"Ryan get out of here"

"Honey I love you I am not leaving until you are in love with me again!"

"You arrogant, pompous, annoying pain in my ass ! I will never love you I HATE you!" with that she slapped him as hard as she could.

"Fine I'll leave but you still love me I know you do and you will want me back!"

"Don't you get it!? I don't want you back and NEVER will."

"You don't love me? Then prove it!"

'Fine!"

She pulled Harry up and kissed him right on the mouth with tongue and all. Ryan was astonished.

"Now I don't love Harry either but if I loved you I would not have been able to kiss anyone but you!"

Ryan just walked out shoulders slumped in defeat. And Hermione said: Good for you Chae as hot as that guy is he is a little selfish!" And Harry said" That guy gets to me!" Michaela suddenly remembered what she said to Ryan about Harry " Oh Harry I am so sorry about doing that to you!" "Its okay.

* Hogsmeade Hotel *

Ryan had now taken up residence in the Hogsmeade Hotel. He was not giving up that easy, so she hated his guts that could change. He was a powerful person and she could be persuaded. It was Saturday so he decided to go down to the shops of the town. He noticed the local pub and walked in. Hermione and Michaela were sitting in the back talking.

*Ryan's Thoughts*

Yea her defense team isn't with her now! Maybe I'll be able to get her!

* End*

He walked over to her and said " Hi hunny miss me much?"

"OH MY GOD YOU FRICKING STALKER!" She said then tossed her steaming hot mug of butterbeer in his face and walked out then to Ryan's surprise walked back in and kissed him. He kissed her back and Hermione just stared. "See I knew you wanted me!" "Um no!" She began to laugh uncontrollably as she walked out. When she reached the end of the road she turned to Hermione and said: "He won't know what hit him!"

"What?"

" I put a pepper –burn- peanut butter- jaw-sticker in my mouth and they take a few minutes to activate so his mouth should be stuck and hot by now!" The two girls laughed all the way back to Hogwarts.

February 14

It was Valentine's day and Michaela and Hermione both received many valentines. Ever since Michaela had given Hermione a makeover she had been a very sought after date. Not that she wasn't pretty before but something that Michaela had done had given her much more confidence about her looks and that seemed to shine through. At breakfast a gigantic chocolate heart was dropped at Michaela's place. Engraved in it:

"Take me back darling"

A shrewd look came over her face and she dragged the massive thing out of the hall and down to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and burned it.

*A/N I am going to skip because this is getting drawn out! But Ryan isn't gone he'll be back*
