Harry sat down and watched Draco furiously for the whole Potions class. He saw Draco flirting with Emily. She laughed and then looked back at Harry with a look of desperation. She mouthed, "I love you, Harry," blew him a kiss, and turned back to Draco.

In the hallway, Harry tried to catch up with Emily and Draco. He saw her stop and face Draco. He shrugged innocently and Emily slapped him. She ran to the Gryffindor common room crying. Harry ran after her but Draco tripped him. Harry grabbed his books and glared at Draco. Then he followed Emily to the Gryffindor common room.

"Emily! What's wrong?"

She ignored him and ran right past Hermione into the girls' dormitories. Harry saw a paper she had dropped on the stairs. He picked it up and read it. It said:

"Hello Emily. I was just wondering, what does Harry have that I don't? He is the worst guy to hang out with. Besides, he has that hideous scar on his forehead, and you'll never get to meet his parents, they're dead.

Love,

Draco XOXOXO

"That scumbag!" Harry yelled, probably much louder than intended. He didn't care if it was the girls' dorm rooms, he went to find Emily. He found her crying on her four-poster. He led her down to the common room. He gave her the note.

"I found this on the floor," he said, "I'm sorry you had to meet him." He wiped a tear away from her eye and held her face in his hands. He brushed her hair out of her face. He looked deep into her eyes, with concern. She smiled at him and leaned forward and kissed him. He held her close and she leaned against him. She put her head on his chest. She could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest and his heart beats.

Late that night Harry and Emily were studying for their Potions test. She told him to read a few pages. She was sitting in a chair next to the couch Harry was sitting in. He had lain down to read and he fell asleep with the book open on his chest. Emily looked up from her book. She saw the book steadily rising, and then falling as Harry slept on. The way the light hit him made him seem more handsome than she had ever seen him; his beautiful green eyes and his brown hair all tousled and flying out in every which way. His face had a certain beauty about it that she could not resist. She got up and sat at the foot of the couch. Harry stirred but she remained. She leaned over and ran her finger along his lips. He awoke and she smiled down at him.

"Hey Harry," she said. He slid up and returned the smile. They both leaned forward and kissed for the second time that night.

Harry woke up the next morning on the couch in the Gryffindor common room. Emily was asleep next to him.

He got up, making sure he didn't wake Emily. He went to his room and dressed in his Quidditch robes. He left for the Quidditch field. Today was Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. The Gryffindor captain, Oliver Wood, had graduated and Harry hadn't seen the new captain yet, she supposedly was a new student. He was looking forward to seeing her. When he walked onto the field, Emily walked up next to him.

"Surprise!" she said, "I hoped you wouldn't find out."
