Lies in the Middle By: Princess Ashley

Glad ya'll are enjoying the story! And my friend Usagi Princess thought nobody liked Harry/usa fics. Beat that girl!!!! Anywho, I'll get to the story just for your entertainment. And mine of course. Hehe.

Chapter 5: Care of Magical Creatures, and maybe some more...^_^

"Well, now dat we're all here, we're goin ter be studyin nymphs. The fairest and most beautiful of all creatures in the muggle and magic world. Now den, op'n up your books to page 344." As everyone did so, Usagi had just arrived. Harry saw her, and Usagi sat on a chair on the other side of Hermione, who was sitting next to Harry, and Ron was on his other side. Behind Harry, Draco Malfoy sat with Crabbe and Goyle. He looked at Harry when Usagi arrived, but Harry couldn't see him.

Malfoy got a smirk on his face and moved a few seats over so he was directly behind Usagi. She was definatly the one who was following Harry around, and kept saving him from Hotaru. And right now, he thought Usagi was much prettier than Hotaru, though she was kinder and didn't have the demonic nature as Hotaru did.

"Hey, ghost girl." He whispered to her. He had crept up behind her and had his hands on the seat, keeping himself forward to allow him to talk to the girl without being noticed by the others around him, considering she was invisable, people would ask questions if he was caught talking to the empty seat in front of him.

Usagi was startled that someone other than Harry was talking to her. But this was Draco Malfoy, the one Hotaru was so sure that was Milliardo. But no matter how much it made sense, she knew they weren't them. She would be able to sense Heero's soul in one of the people at this school, but Hotaru could sense Milliardo's soul in this boy. But Milliardo was so graceful with everything. And this man was rough, with no morals. Milliardo had morals, that was why he sparred Heero after he selfdestructed himself in their first battle against Tall Geese.

Usagi shook out of her thought as decided to answer the boy. "What, mortal man?" She teased him. Good payback for calling her a ghost girl. She every once in a while would take that to an insult. It was just plain rude.

"What's your name? I know you are a friend of Hotaru's from the way you're always able to get her off Pansy whenever she comes near me. So? What's your story? Helping Potter make it through 5th year? He'll need it." Draco hissed in her ear. He had a smooth smirk on his face.

What? How dare he! Talk about Harry like that! Harry was her best friend right now, why was he insulting him?

"How dare you, enemy of Harry Potter. I'm not helping him, I just like hanging around and seeing what this school has to offer him and his friends. But it seemed like you needed the help, you couldn't pick up the book from the desk, you had to have Hotaru help you. As for my name, it's Usagi, but I prefer you don't use it, for I wish not to talk to you any longer." Usagi turned her head from Draco, and faced the front, then smirked as she saw everyone was looking at Draco when he cursed her a loud.

Hagrid, however, was pissed. "Draco Malfoy! You do not swere in this class. Proffessor Snape's goin ter hear abou' dis, as will Dumbledore. 25 points from Slytherin. 'N your lucky it wus only dat." He turned and then moved on discussing why the nymphs were always beautiful, what most of the boys were interested in.

* * *

Harry snickered as Draco lost 25 points for his house, and then he grinned even more as he realized that is was Usagi that he was cursing at. Draco had leaned back in his chair, and Usagi looked very proud of herself. Harry winked at her and mouthed a thank you to her under his breath. Usagi nodded and was glad to be of service.

Harry smiled to himself. If she kept this up, Gryffindor would win the house cup for sure this year, unless Hotaru helped out Draco as much as she did. But then agian, she was very self consious. She did trip Draco in the hall for ingnoring her the whole week. And that was pretty funny.

* * *

Later that day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went down to Hagrid's hut after dinner. Usagi followed silently behind, so as not to be noticed. Harry knew she was coming of course, she just wanted to suprise him when he wasn't looking.

All three of them went inside the hut, but the door slammed behind them, and Usagi was outside. She didn't want to go in just yet.

"Bark!!!"

Usagi turned swiftly, there was a big dog standing, and sniffing around, as if it had caught her scent. "Uh oh." She whispered to herself. But the dog heard it.

"BARK!!!" His bark echoed through the forest that happened to be right next to the hut, and the garden was right beside the hut. The dog was getting closer. Usagi was sure she would sneeze if the dog happened to go right through her. And if she took another step backward, she would be half in the hut and half outside, and Harry could see her. She didn't want to scare him at all.

"Fang!!! Be quiet out der!" A voice called from the house. It sounded like Hagrid. Usagi was getting a bit nervous.

"Why am I hesistating with a dog!" She screamed at herself. She flew at the dog, and then went right through him.

Fang, as he was called, must have felt her, because he started barking like a mad dog. "Bark bark BARK!!!!!!!!" He barked at the top of his doggy lungs. Usagi covered his ears, having ear that heard things ten times better than the over average blood hound was a pain when something was this loud and this close.

"FANG!!!" The door to the hut opened, and the large man came out with Harry, Hermione, and Ron behind him. Hagrid tried to calm Fang down. Usagi went behind Harry. "That thing is evil." Usagi whispered to him.

Harry blushed with the cold breath on his neck and ear. Usagi was right behind, and so close, she had her ghostly hands on his shoulders and he could swere she was shaking with fright of the massive dog. He put his hands over hers on his shoulders and tried to calm her down without looking suspisious to Ron and Hermione, who were at the moment helping Hagird.

Usagi calmed down a bit when she suddenly started to feel something warm shooting through her body, and started on her hands. She looked and found Harry's flesh on her mists created through not having any skin. She leaned her head down to lay on Harry's hand, and his shoulder. This was a moment she had had before. With Heero. She could feel the same thing with Harry. What was it that reminded her of Heero so much when she was around Harry? The appearanced were almost the same sure, even though Heero had been a bit more muscular. Harry had the same features, though his eyes were a bit different. But somehow, Usagi could sense it. She felt like she was with Heero again. But then, some of it was just...Harry. She could feel some of the liking of Harry blending with her love for Heero. What was going on?

Harry felt her head on his shoulder and hand. He turned to see her beautiful silvery hair falling over her shoulders and down to her ankles as she rested on him. He smiled a bit, then turned a bit, so that he was facing her, but she was still on his shoulder, as though she had not moved at all. He put an arm on her waist, and he could feel her body where her soul was. He patted her back and massaged her waist while she seemed to be in a slumber of thoughts on him. She opened her eyes to look into his, as he was above her. She smiled at him, and he blushed a bit, but she didn't seem to notice. They stayed like this for quite some time, just drowning in each other's eyes. Unconsiously, Usagi started to lean forward, and her eyes begged him to come to her. And he did, and for a second, nothing else seemed to matter for either of them. Usagi was so close to him, and he was loving it. He decided that he couldn't wait, and then closed the distance between them, with a soft kiss.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

They pulled apart quickly, Harry and Usagi saw Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and a frantic Fang trying to get at them. But they were starring right where Usagi was. Usagi then realized that she had let her guard down, and they could all see her now.

"Uh oh."
