Chapter12: The First I Love You and The Mysterious Redhead
Diana held her broom in her hands and watched Harry fly over head. Diana was still amazed by his technique. After about an hour he landed right in front of her. "I could watch you fly forever." Diana sighed. Harry smiled, then grabbed her by the waist and kissed her.
"Let's go inside. It's getting cold out here." Harry stared into her eyes.
"It's March, the birds are singing. Let's stay outside." Diana touched Harry's face.
"But, it's sooo, cold." Harry moaned.
"But we can keep each other warm." Diana smiled.
"Ok, that sounds nice." Harry kissed her. She then pulled out of his arms.
"Your right, it's getting a little chilli. I think it's time to go inside." Diana walked off playfully.
"Diana, don't do this to me." Harry groaned. He preceded to follow her. He finally caught up with her and put his arms around her. Diana reached into his robes and grabbed his wand. "Hey! Give that back!" Harry laughed.
"I'm not giving it back. I'm not giving it back." Diana teased, kissed him, and then hopped off.
"Diana, I'm going to get back!" Harry yelled after her. He ran up behind her and tickled her. Diana fell to the ground in laughter. Harry laid down next to her. "Diana, this has to be one of the best days."
"Nothing could ruin it." Diana smiled.
Harry felt chills go down his back, he felt different. He didn't know what it was either. Suddenly, emotions flooded over him. He felt happy, sad, scared, and wonderful at the same time. Then he looked deep into Diana's eyes, and a new feeling hit. Something he never felt before. He put his hand on Diana's side. He thought about what it would be like to be with Diana forever, to have kids with her, to love her for the rest of his life.
Love! What was he thinking? He was crazy. Or was he? Is that what he was feeling? Did he love her? Did he love Diana Snape? "Are you ok? You look sick." Diana asked.
"I'm fine." Harry sighed.
Diana looked into Harry's eyes. He looked lost. "You look confused. Are you sure your alright?" Diana asked. She had a look of concern on her face.
"Yeah, I couldn't be better." Harry said. He then went back into his train of thought. It was amazing how she could read him.
He was lost. Was this what he wanted, to love her forever? Then he thought about this not being his choice. What if he was suppose to love her? Then, he stared into her eyes again. Everything fell into place.
He wanted to be like this forever. Just Diana and him. He wanted to get married to her and have kids with her. He loved her!
But doubt fell upon him. What if she didn't love him? What if he told her and she broke his heart? He didn't know what to say. He needed to tell her. He wanted to tell her. But how? He wanted to scream it out loud. "Are you sure your fine?" Diana looked even more concerned. She ran her hands though his hair. That didn't help.
"I'm fine." Harry got weak. Then, he knew he needed to tell her. He stared into her eyes. "Diana," Harry said.
"Yes, Harry." Diana answered.
"I need to tell you something." His stomach turned.
"Well spit it out!" She smiled.
"I... I love you." Harry felt relief hit him.
Diana sat up and looked around. She looked deep in thought. Her eyes seemed lost, almost as if her soul had left her. Diana then looked back down at Harry. He sat up quickly. "I ..." Diana looked around some more.
"You don't have to say anything. Just listen to what I have to say." Diana stared into Harry's eyes as he spoke. "I was watching you, and something fell upon me. I felt weird. Then, I thought about what it would be like if we were married, with kids. I knew then that... I loved you. And not just I love you. I'm in love with you."Harry stared at her.
Diana continued to stare into his eyes. Suddenly she kissed him. "I love you, too. And not just I love you. I'm in love with you." Diana smiled. Harry kissed her. It was perfect. Diana's head fell to the ground. Harry played with her hair.
Harry smiled at her. "Let's go inside." Harry whispered. Diana rolled her eyes.
"If you want." Diana sighed.
Harry helped her up, and they walked into the castle.
***
It was late at night, and Diana was still up. She laid in her bed staring at the ceiling. She sighed with a huge smile. Then, from downstairs came a noise. A crack, like nothing Diana had ever heard. She got out of bed to investigate.
She walked down the stairs, wand in hand. But when she got into the common room no one was there. Then, another crack came from the hall. She walked out of the portrait hole, but once again nothing. But this didn't stop her. She walked down the halls looking for what made the noise.
The next thing she knew she was standing in a hall that she had never seen before. Dust covered everything. "You know you shouldn't travel to far from the tower. It dangerous." A cold voice came from behind her. She stopped dead in her tracks. "Nice to see you again, Diana." Diana turned around. There stood him, the one person she feared the most. Voldemort!
"Yes, well, it maybe nice for you." She said calmly, but she was no where near calm.
"I know that you fear me. That your not as brave as you think. You don't have to be afraid. You're a strong one Diana, and I can help you. You can be great. I'll help you. If you want that help." Voldemort grinned at her.
She stared at him for a moment. What was he trying to pull? "I don't need help." Diana said coldly.
He pointed his wand at her. Her heart began to race. "Aren't you going to fight me?" He asked, in a shill voice. Diana pointed her wand at him. "On the count of 10." He stopped for a couple minutes.
She wondered what he was trying to do, stalling like that. 'He's playing with me. He's trying to phase me. Don't let it happen!' Diana screamed in her mind. "Well, get on with!" She yelled.
"Very well." He laughed. "One..." He began.
Now, anyone ready to duel wouldn't get distracted, but Diana did. Her attention strayed to the corner. There a man in dark, black Death Eater robes stood. His face was covered by the shadow of the hood, and she couldn't see much. But what she could was a hunk of bright red hair, and the man's nose. "Ron?" She whispered. That was the first thing that crossed her mind, but the next thing was realization that it couldn't be him. Ron has a very distinct nose, and that wasn't it.
"...Ten!" She looked over just in time to see a bright light shoot at her.
A/n: Well, here's chapter 12. It's a little mushy and it's a cliffe, but it's all good. I hope I'll have chapter 13 up soon. *crosses fingers in hope* I've been having trouble with it.
