AUTHOR"S NOTE: I want to say thank you to Elizabeth Choi! I know she is a far better writer than I'm but she is very supportive! I LOVE YOU (as a friend of course)! EWWWW! Don't even think about it!
CHAPTER FOUR: FORBBIDEN LOVE
Claire was confused. Should she join or not? She knew that in order for her to fit in and not look suspicious she had to join Pansy's smug little group, but something was tugging at her, screaming at her," DON"T JOIN THE GROUP!" She was dreadfully confused. She had started classes three weeks ago, but still had not made up her mind. She was presently at the library looking for a book.
" Did you hear about the Slytherin Quidditch Seeker Try-outs?" a voice whispered.
" Yeah! I can't even believe it, no one can beat the famous Harry Potter!" another voice answered.
" Sheesh! Must they make a big deal out of all this?" Claire mumbled stressfully. She went to the 'R' section, which was her special spot where she met special characters… Oh no! Harry Potter was strolling about around HER section, amiably looking for a book. Well, she didn't want to ruin all her efforts of trying to avoid him and his friends these three weeks. She needed to just turn and…NO! This was her section after all, and she needed counseling. Claire took a deep breath and calmly walked toward the shelves looking for what she was searching for. Claire was not aware of the glances Harry gave toward her direction. " Darn it! They don't have it," Claire spat in spite of herself.
" SHHHHH!" was the response she got from angry students trying to study. Harry chuckled.
" I don't find anything so funny!" Claire hissed.
" I'm dreadfully sorry, your highness! Must I scurry away from your holy presence?" Harry asked with an amused smile while his eyes twinkled with laughter.
" Must you make it sound as if I'm an overly grown baby?"
" Oh, I'm going easy on you. You should just hear what Fred and George says to Ron." Harry said with a small smile. The black haired girl could just imagine such a sight. She remembered the first time she had made their acquaintance.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Fred and George Weasley!"
" Yes, Professor McGonagall?" They grinned mischievously.
" I want you in my office! NOW!" While the two prisoners passed the pretty gray-eyed girl they winked at her at exactly the same time. It was a humorous sight but what they said made it even funnier," Hey, Baby! We're checkin you out!"
" WEASLEY!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Claire smiled at the funny remembrance.
" So, what is it that the poor damsel is looking for?"
" A book," Claire said with a sarcastic tone.
" Of course, we have a multiple selection here…"
" Ah HA! Found it!" Claire said with a victorious air. She gallantly got up the ladder that was supplied for shorter students to get up to the higher shelves. Her hand grasped the treasure in which she found, but lost her balance in the process and fell…into Harry Potter's waiting arms. A warm feeling swept over her. It felt like this was where she belonged no other place could fulfill her as in these strong arms could. " Man! I'm not supposed to feel such a feeling! I have to…"
" Are you all right princess?" The deep voice interrupted her thoughts. Harry's eyes were so very close to hers. All she wanted was to stay in that position and look into the depths of his evergreen eyes.
" Y-Yeah, I'll be okay." Claire shook her head while she slid down against the wall of books.
" Well what kind of book was worth a fall as big as that?" Harry asked inquiringly sitting next to her.
" You'd laugh at me, I'm sure," Claire said turning red from embarrassment.
" I promise that I won't laugh, alright?" Harry said gently.
" Promise?" Claire felt like a two year old but dismissed the thought.
" Alright, are you going to tell me?"
" It's a ro…romance novel." Claire turned redder.
" A romance novel?"
" You promised you wouldn't laugh," Claire warned.
" I'm not." But his eyes were laughing.
" Why must you read ROMANCE novels? I mean people your age, OUR age are experiencing the love that Katherine and Heathcliffe share," Harry said looking at the cover of Whuthering Heights.
" It seems you have read this book," Claire said slyly.
" Yeah, I'll admit I happened to come across this book and I read it." He answered while he in turn turned red as well.
" That's funny! A strong Qudditch Seeker on the outside, but a softy love-sick puppy inside," Claire said punching him playfully on the arm.
" Hey, don't make fun of me!" Harry said an a somewhat injured tone.
" I like the combination," Claire said looking into his face with the warmth of her gray eyes.
" You do?'
" Yeah, I do!"
" But I have a question," Harry said a mischievous glint coming into his eyes.
" What could that be?" Claire asked unaware of the trap being set for her.
" Why don't you go out and experience this new thing yourself and stop fantasizing?"
" Then I wonder, how about you, Mr. Big shot, have you experienced such love?" Claire said, trying to lead the conversation to something else.
" I have tried…" Harry began.
" Ooh! I see you have failed to find any suitors," Claire said with a charming smile.
" Noo…I didn't have trouble finding suitors it's just that they don't fit me."
" Oh." Claire sighed.
" What kind of love do you want to experience?" Harry asked, amused by where the conversation was leading. Claire smiled.
" The love of Elijah and Professor Higgins." Claire sighed once more.
" So…the big hit My Fair Lady agrees with you the most."
" Yeah, also the animated Anastasia," Claire said.
" Really?"
" Yeah. Damitri and Anastasia's love was so powerful and so so …I don't know…clear," Claire said. There was a shadow of a smile.
" Why must you dream so? Go and experience it!" Harry said enthusiastically.
" You just don't understand," Claire whispered looking away.
" What do you mean by that?"
" I mean, that I'm forbidden into this subject," Claire said getting more uncomfortable.
" Forbidden? No one could be forbidden to love," Harry said, trying to encourage her.
" Well, Harry Potter, you're wrong for I, Claire Voliesia is forbidden to true love," Claire said, standing up.
" But…" Harry stood in front of her blocking her way.
" If you will please move," Claire said curtly.
" Oh, come on! I never meant it like that!" Harry said getting more irritated.
" I'm sorry, it's just like…"
" You can't be forbidden to love," Harry said taking a step forward. Claire was against the wall of books just inches away from Harry's lips.
"Why do I feel like I want to kiss him? No, I came here on a mission and it does not include Harry Potter. But why do I feel like I need him for some reason?"
" You know what?"
" What?" Claire breathed.
" No one's here," Harry said with a smile.
" Oh really?"
" Yeah." The smile was getting bigger.
" So," Claire said, trying to act casual, but the feeling of him near her gave a tingle in her spine. Claire now clearly understood what Harry was up to…Harry's lips were inching forward toward hers…
