MEMORIES

Claire slowly, gently closed her eyes waiting for her lips to touch his. "NOOOO! I can't do this," Claire thought to herself." I'm going to hurt him in the end." Oh, but the tingling sensation he gave her down her spine! Well, she needed to resist. At the last possible moment, she stepped out of his way. He opened his eyes wide out of astonishment and confusion. Harry fell toward the bookshelves and banged himself accidently on a shelf. "OW!" Harry hissed out of pain.

" I-I'm sorr-" Claire began, but was interrupted by a group of Gryffindor girls.

" Harry, THERE you are," a girl said coyly.

" Yeah, uh, hey Parvati," Harry said nonchalantly, rubbing his neck.

" Hey, handsome," another girl said while she gently poked him in the chest.

" Yeah, hey to yourself too, Lavendar," Harry said, trying to be polite.

" I never knew you had such strong muscles," Lavendar replied clinging herself to his arm.

" Oh, Harry, I heard that you might play for England as a Professional Seeker," Parvati cooed, taking his other arm. The other girls giggled.

" Harry, the view is great outside. So-what do you say?" Lavendar said clinging tighter.

" Well- I was –um…"

" Great! Let's go!" Parvati said with fake excitement. The force of the girl bunch was too much for Harry and was carried away.

He took one last glance of Claire before he was swept out of the room. Before all of the girls disappeared, one girl pushed Claire out of the way and she heard," Out of the way, Slytherin!" She just stood there, stunned by the events that had happened. She knew this feeling between him and her was certainly not meant to be, and unreasonably impossible. But what was this tingling feeling she felt in her heart? After a few minutes, she recovered from the shock and took the book to Madam Pince. She gave the book back after all the necessary checks were done. Claire mumbled a quick," Thank you," and left the library. While she walked along the corridor of the humungous castle, she started thinking… "You can't be forbidden to love…" Harry had said…

Flashback

" You are forbidden to love," a shadow said.

" What is love?"

" The less you know the better."

" Why must I be forbidden to it? It just sounds so delicious and sweet, Love," Claire hugged her knees closer to her chest.

" Don't talk such foolishness! When I say you are forbidden, that's the end of the conversation!"

End of Flashback

Was the feeling she had for Harry love? She didn't know what love truly meant, until she stumbled upon the book My Fair Lady but she still didn't fully understand. Ever since then she questioned the word love. She knew her father forbid her to love, but all the stories she had read and the movies she had seen made love so innocent and true. All she wanted to do was take Harry's advice and experience it. But she knew she couldn't. If her father said no, it was no. She remembered one blurry dream. It was cold and dark. It was rainy and one mysterious cloaked figure loomed toward her." Come, Come to me." It had said. She had woken with a start and could feel cold sweat all around her forehead. Claire shook her head. It was just a dream! Was it though? She felt that this happened to her before, but…Claire sighed and shook her head viciously again. " Stop thinking like this," Claire whispered to herself," The kiss must have intoxicated me but then again I didn't really kiss him…URGH!" Claire stopped in front of a particular wall in the dungeons and said," Voldemort reigns," and the door concealed in the wall slid open. Claire walked across the room.

" Hey! Claire!" a familiar voice rang out. Claire jumped but turned slowly.

" Hey, um…Malfoy? Yeah, well, I was going to my room…so…." Claire turned back around. Draco stared, puzzled at the retreating figure.

" Don't worry about her, Draco," a voice said who startled him," She's just thinking if she should join my group or not." Draco stared at Pansy Parkinson.

" Oh, really? Am I invited?" Draco moved one step closer while Pansy laughed.

(A.N. Hmmm…I wonder what happened. I'll let you decide.)

Claire slowly opened her dorm door. When she closed the door behind her, she sighed out of deep relief. She walked slowly to her mirror. Claire plumped down on her cushioned chair. She revealed the rose locket, which was concealed from view in her robes for a couple of weeks. She barely opened it but now she cautiously opened it. The locket sang a song for her, Fur Elise. On one side of the locket was a black and white picture of her great grandmother, Elise, and on the other side a mirror. (A.N. I know this might sound a little like Anastasia, but, hey, I have my reasons! As you will see in later chapters…especially the second to last chapter.) Claire abruptly snapped the locket shut and put the locket under her robes so that, once more, the necklace was hidden from plain view. She sadly stood up from her chair.

" My great grandmother was so beautiful…if only I'd have known her…" Claire stopped suddenly at the foot of the bed. There, in the middle was a tin full of cookies. Yes, she knew what to do…

Flashback

" You need to eat these cookies."

" Why Father?"

" Because these special cookies have medicine in it that will help you become more healthy."

" But…Dad…"

" EAT!"

End of Flashback

Ever since then it was the cookies and nothing but these cookies. If she didn't eat them for more then three weeks she started questioning herself. Like right now…she was unsure who she was. Was she Claire Voliesia? Was she…enough of this! Claire took the package and set if before her. She ever so slowly took the lid off. Something wasn't right! She took the cookie and put it up to her mouth. In her mind the feeling of the 'treat' on her lips made it feel like acid. She quickly took a bite. She closed her eyes…everything was being put back into its place. She was Claire Voliesia. She had one mission to accomplish. Claire slowly swallowed. She opened her eyelids but they fell back down immediately and she collapsed onto the floor…
