Chapter 28 – Courage
Harry knew he had to act and soon. He wasn't stupid he knew very well that many boys at Hogwarts like Olivia and thought her extremely pretty. He couldn't remember when he began to see her as more then a friend but he didn't care because the feelings were there and that was all he needed to know. He just hoped that he could get up the courage to ask her before someone else did.
Olivia sat in the far corner of the Gryffindor common room surrounded by people happily chatting about the dance. She had tried to avoid this inevitable gathering so that she could relax and get some work done but she had failed. She scanned the common room for an escape from the gossip but found none. With a final sigh Olivia got up and decided to pay her father and Godfather a visit. Besides she had to make sure she could go to the dance for her and Constanza were still helping Remus in the classroom at nights whenever he asked or required. So she slipped out of the common room as quickly and quietly as possible.
* * *
"Papí!…Uncle Si!…either of you here?" Eve called out as she walked through the living room and kitchen of her father's flat.
When no reply came Eve gave a victorious smile as she slumped down into one of the chairs. Finally peace and quite to get some work done. Eve took some parchment, a quill, and ink for the desk in the corner of the room and curled up in her chair to work on her Charms essay. Eve was finishing her essay when Remus and Sirius came bursting into her relaxed and serene atmosphere.
"Eve…what are you doing here?" Remus questioned catching sight of his daughter.
"I came here to ask about the dance and since neither of you were here I decided to work on my Charms essay since the common room is packed with gossiping Gryffindors." Eve replied.
"Ok so what'd you want to ask about the dance?" Remus inquired taking a seat in the other chair across from Eve.
"I wanted to make sure that Constanza and I could attend the dance, because I know how random your requests to have us help you are."
"Oh…yea you two will be able to attend I promise I won't keep you from something like this."
"Thanks dad!" Eve exclaimed getting up to give her father a hug of appreciation.
Eve stayed with her father and Godfather talking and doing some more work before deciding to head back to the Gryffindor tower.
"Well I think I'll head back now so that everyone doesn't send out a search party looking for me." Eve joked as she stood up and gathered her papers.
"Alright have fun." Sirius retorted as he hugged his goddaughter.
"Oh you know I will."
"That's my girl."
"No that's my girl Sirius." Remus interrupted giving Eve a hug
"No this one's mine you can have the other one." Sirius remarked
"Yea dad when are you gonna tell her?"
"…Soon…" Remus sheepishly replied
"You'd better you have no idea how hard it is for me not to tell her myself. I can't even count how many times that I've almost let it slip."
"Yea come on Remmy Eve needs her partner in crime you need some one else to discipline and I need someone else to corrupt." Sirius added.
"Alright…Alright I get the point…I'll try to tell her the next time you guys are helping me in the classroom that way you can help back me up." Remus declared looking directly at Eve.
"YEA! I get my sister!…Oh wait she's been my sister for the past four years it'll just be official."
"I thought you were heading back now." Remus pointed out in a false demanding tone.
"Oh don't take my corruption subject away!" Sirius cried out
"Uncle Si chill you'll have a new subject soon."
"Goodnight Evelyn."
"Alright point taken…night dad, night Uncle Si."
With that Eve left her father's flat and made her way back to Gryffindor tower in a much better mood then when she had arrived. She would finally be able to talk to Elizabeth and tell her everything and best of all she would be able to communicate with her sister telepathically which would work to their advantage.

Olivia sat in Defense Against the Dark Arts, patiently waiting for the class to end as Professor Lupin went over the topics that would be on their finals yet again. Many of the students in her class were more then a little slow so often things had to be repeated two if not three times. Constanza was sitting on one side of her and Harry on the other, both were as bored as she was but neither were as impatient for the class to end.
"Olivia what's got you so worked up?" Constanza whispered trying not to attract the attention of the professor
"I just want the class to end." Olivia simply responded
"But why you love this class." Harry commented joining their conversation
"I need to speak with Professor Lupin about something and then I need to finish something."
"Like what?" Constanza asked
"You'll find out soon enough Stanzie."
"Harry, Olivia, and Constanza I know that you feel you don't need this review again but would you be so kind as to refrain from talking while I'm talking." Professor Lupin commented effectively shutting all three of them up.
Olivia silently thanked Remus for saving her from the barrage of questions she knew was coming from Constanza and Harry. She loved her friends dearly but some times they were a little too nosy for her liking. The rest of the class was spent in a silent revive for Olivia while the others tried to remember what they had learned throughout the year so that they could pass and continue on to the next year. Finally the class was over and the masses of the students shot out of the classroom faster then you could say 'magic'. But as the others left Olivia made her way up to the teachers' desk in the front of the room.
"Olivia where are you going?" Harry asked, "I thought you wanted to get out of here?"
"I need to ask Professor Lupin something. Don't worry I'll be right there."
Harry just nodded and followed Hermione and Ron out of the classroom and back towards Gryffindor tower.
"Olivia how may I help you?" Professor Lupin questioned as there were still a few straggling students in the classroom.
"I just wanted to know if you needed Constanza and I tonight to help reorganize the storage room of defense items that we never finished last week?"
"Sure I'll see both of you at let's say seven thirty?"
"That's fine thank you professor I'll be sure to let Constanza know."
"Very well Ms. Stanton I will see you later tonight."
Olivia left the Defense Against the Dark Arts room to find Constanza and let her know of their plans that night smiling the biggest smile she could. She knew that tonight they were going to be cleaning no such storage room but instead helping to piece their family back together.
* * *
"Well you sure are in a good mood for having to speak to a Professor." Hermione commented as Olivia joined them in the common room.
"I know." Olivia simply stated
"So what did you have to ask Professor Lupin about?" Ron inquired
"I wanted to know if he needed us tonight to help with anything."
"You know you never did tell us how and what exactly you did to receive all that punishment from Professor Lupin and Professor Snape." Harry quipped
"I know and like I said before it's for another place at another time."
"So what's the verdict for tonight?" Ron asked
"Constanza and I need to finish organizing the storage closet we started on last week. Moving on Hermione have you decided who you're going to the dance with yet?"
"No."
"Why not girl you need to get a list ready if your going to get a good date."
"Unlike you I wish to follow tradition and wait for the guys to ask because I'm to busy to go around asking a bunch of people. Have you decided who you're gonna ask yet?"
"Constanza and I are right now fighting over that 6th year Ravenclaw Jordan, he's hot and he really sweet." Olivia commented not seeing the look of panic wash over Harry's features.
"Oh good choice." Ginny added as she joined the group
"I know but if he doesn't work out I was thinking of asking that 7th year Skylar, I believe that he's in Slytherin."
"What's with you and Slytherins?" Ron quipped
"I dunno I guess I don't really get all that house rivalry and besides looks wise he's a hottie. Sorry guys."
"What would you do if someone asked you to the dance?" Harry wondered aloud
"It depends on who it is if I accept or not." Olivia replied "Oh well I've gotta meet up with Stanzie for our study session catch you guys later."
"I have to ask her and like now." Harry thought to himself as he watched Olivia leave the common room.
"Earth to Harry." Ron called waving his hand in front of his friends face. "Oh man you've got it bad."
"Got what bad?" Harry asked finally realizing that Ron was attempting to talk to him.
"You know…although you may what to act soon a lot of guys are after her." Ron commented
"You shouldn't be talking, I believe you've got it bad for a certain Slytherin friend of hers." Harry remarked.
"Oh sod off Harry."
* * *
Constanza and Olivia sat in the library for the next hour and a half studying around the gossip that they needed to get in. Olivia had informed Constanza of their meeting with Professor Lupin later that night before divulging into more gossip about who was going with who to the dance the following Saturday. After a while they gave up on studying altogether. As it got closer to dinner Olivia decided that she needed to gather up a few things before dinner so that she would be ready for the meeting with Remus.
"I gotta do some stuff back at the tower so I'll see you at dinner alright?"
"Alright see ya later."
Olivia grabbed the rest of her stuff and headed out of the library. Halfway back to Gryffindor tower Olivia ran into Ron and Harry.
"Hey guys." Olivia greeted
"Hey Olivia." Harry replied
"Where's Constanza?" Ron inquired
"Oh I left her back in the library."
"Really that's where we were headed, right Harry."
"Unfortunately…we left to get away from 'Mione's pestering." Harry responded
"Well I'm headed back to the tower care to join me?" Olivia asked Harry knowing what Ron was headed to do
"Sure…see ya later mate." Ron called to Harry as he continued on toward the library.
Harry and Olivia walked for a few minutes in silence before Harry couldn't take it anymore, the silence was really playing with his nerves.
"So Olivia how much studying did you really get done?" Harry inquired
"Not much at all we were a little to interested in the gossip that's floating around right now. Some of it is quite ridiculous."
Harry and Olivia spent the rest of the trip back to the tower talking about the dance and the surrounding gossip. Once they reached the tower both headed up to Olivia's room still making small talk. Once they were in the confines of Olivia's room Harry felt the pressure increase. He knew what he was about to do but it didn't make it any easier. So when the conversation hit a lull Harry knew it was time to act.
"So are you going with anyone yet?" Harry tried to casually ask
"Nope…you?"
"No but I know who I'd like to go with."
"Oh yea and who would that lucky lady be?"
"…Um…you."
"Harry what exactly do you mean?" Olivia asked purposefully playing stupid
"Um….Olivia will you go to the dance with me?" Harry blurted out but not to rushed so that Olivia wouldn't be able to understand him.
"Sure I'll go with you Harry."
With that Harry's face lit up like a Charismas tree and a content smile played across his lips. "That wasn't that hard at all." Harry commented to himself happy that he had finally gotten the courage up to ask her.
* * *
Ron slowly made his way to the library buying himself as much time as possible so that he could figure out how to approach this whole situation. Unfortunately for him the library appeared all to soon. He cautiously entered the Library but it took some time for him to find the person he was looking for. Ron finally found her in a remote corner of the library with her face blocked by the book she was reading, Witch Owl by Nopun Ian Tended. With one final burst of courage and energy Ron cleared his throat to get her attention.
"Oh hello Ron I didn't see you there." Constanza greeted
"Hey…can I ask you something…it's about the dance?" Ron began
"Sure but only if I can ask you a question first?" Constanza replied
"Go ahead."
"Do you know if Harry's going to the dance with anyone yet?"
Constanza gave a slightly evil smirk as she watched Ron's facial expression drop.
"Um…not that I know of why?" Ron asked a little unsure of what the answer might be.
"Good I wanted to make sure that Olivia still had the chance to ask him."
"Oh"
"So what did you want Ron?"
"Well I…um…well I was wondering…."
"If you would go to the dance with me." Constanza finished for Ron
"Well yea…but…"
"So will
you?"
"Will I what?"
"Go with me?"
"Yea, but I was…oh never mind yes I'll go to the dance with you Constanza."
"Hey Ron can you do me a favor."
"What's that?"
"Call me Stanzie"
"Ok"
* * *
Olivia didn't see Constanza again, to tell her the news she had, until they were headed to the Defense Against the dark Arts classroom.
"So how was the rest of your afternoon?" Questioned Olivia
"Oh it was pretty uneventful compared to me normal standards." Constanza nonchalantly replied.
"Really? …How so?"
"Well you know all I really did was read for a while and then I headed back to the common room."
"No one came by to talk to you?"
"Oh yea…Ron came in and talked to me for a while."
"What'd he want?" Olivia inquired trying to sound distant
"To ask me to the dance."
"What'd you say?"
"Nothing since I was the one who ended up asking him…and yes he did say yes."
"Awww how cute."
"Shut it…anyway are you still single for the dance because if you are I believe I know someone who wants to go with you and I doubt that you'll decline."
"Actually I do have a date for the dance."
"Who?...When?"
"This afternoon after I left you in the library Harry asked me to go to the dance with him and I agreed."
"I knew it!" Constanza exclaimed slightly shocking Olivia
"Knew what?"
"That you liked him."
"Who? …Harry?" Olivia asked slightly confused. Constanza only nodded and smiled and evil looking smile in return. "Stanzie, there's nothing going on between Harry and I, we're just friends!"
"Sure whatever you say Olivia."
Olivia sighed in defeat knowing that she wouldn't be able to change Constanza's mind, well for now anyways. They spent the next few minutes in silence that was only broken when they reached the classroom.
"We're here!" Constanza exclaimed
"I can see that." Olivia sarcastically replied as she entered the classroom
"So where's Lupin?" Constanza asked looking around the room for their professor.
"I don't know…what's so funny?"
Constanza had suddenly burst into a fit of giggles.
"Nothing really it's just that…oh never mind."
"No what is it?"
"Lupin…"
"What about him?"
"Not so much him as the name."
"Ya lost me there."
"Lupin is a funny name. It's cool but it kind of has a funny sound to it though. But either way it's a cool name."
"Ok." Olivia replied trying not to laugh
"I know it's stupid but…oh well."
"It's not stupid it's just funny how you explained it."
"Good evening girls." Remus Lupin greeted as he entered the classroom from the side door.
Both girls had to keep from laughing at the sight of their professor because of their conversation. Olivia was the first to regain herself. She took one look into her father's eyes and knew that he was nervous and worried.
"Good evening Professor Lupin." Constanza replied with a slight giggle in her voice.
"I've changed my mind instead of having you work on that storeroom I'm gonna have you help me with something else. So if you'd both follow me please."
Both girls nodded their heads in agreement and followed their professor through the same door as he had just emerged from. Once they were in the 'Defense common room', as Olivia had dubbed it, Remus explained to them where they were and what they were to do that night.
"The classroom is pretty organized but I need help with filing and organizing my stuff for lessons so you'll both be working in my private study. I'll warn you now that I have a friend staying with me and he likes to wander around a lot so please try not to scream if you happen to run into him. I'd also greatly appreciate it if you didn't tell any of the other students how to get in here. This is Professor Fireoza's and my private quarters."
With that Remus led the girls into his flat and to his study. Olivia knew that Remus was buying time. She just hoped that he wouldn't wait for to long.
The three of them worked in relative silence for about forty five minutes when Constanza couldn't bear it any longer.
"So Olivia have you decided what color dress robes you're going to get yet?"
"Nah…I haven't really thought about that yet. Do you know what color you're gonna get?"
"Not really but I know that it won't be red or green."
"Why not?"
"First I don't look that good in green, second I don't feel like wearing house colors. I can't wear red because it'll clash with Ron's hair and I don't fell like clashing." Constanza explained.
"Good point…I think that you should go with a light or pastel blue color."
"Oh I like…humm…I think that you should go with a forest green or blue-green color like your eyes. Harry should go with a midnight blue."
"What's this I hear about Harry and midnight blue?" Sirius asked as he entered the study.
"Olivia's going to the spring dance with Harry." Constanza announced.
"Aww how cute my godson and one goddaughter are going steady. Never thought this day would come did ya Remmy? The day James Potter's son and Remus Lupin's daughter would get together." Sirius kidded with both his best friend and goddaughter.
"Except we're not going steady uncle Si. We're just going to the dance together as friends."
"Not if you're the same girl that he's been talking to me about for the last few weeks. I have a feeling that it is you he's been talking about and he's done nothing but talk none stop about you."
Eve no real comeback so could do nothing but blush in return. Unfortunately for her this action did not go unnoticed by anyone in the room.
"Well as much as I love to rag on my best friend I'd really like to know what's going on around here first. What's all this talk of goddaughters and fathers?" Constanza voiced.
Remus gave Sirius a hard look before turning to the two girls sitting side by side on the floor.
"Well I guess now's as good a time as ever." Remus muttered under his breath
Constanza had looked between the three others in the room with confusion written all over her face. Finally she turned her eyes to her best friends and silently pleaded with her for an answer.
"Olivia please help…what exactly is going on here?" Constanza silently begged.
Olivia jumped at the sudden voice in her mind, especially since she had never heard the voice before. She took one more look at Constanza before placing it all together. Olivia surprised everyone in the room by running up to Constanza and gathering her in a celebratory hug.
"What was that for?" Constanza asked surprised as she pulled away from Olivia.
"You communicated with me!"
"She what?" Sirius and Remus questioned a little confused.
"Papí, Uncle Si…she communicated with me!" Olivia stressed pointing a finger to her head.
"Oh…but that means…" Remus Began
"Yes she's getting all her powers back which means that you…well we need to explain everything to her. You don't want her finding out the same way I did do you?"
"No Eve I don't want Elizabeth to find out the way you did. That was just bad, I was so out of it but I still can't believe that I told you so bluntly."
"It's alright Papí but I think we'd better tell her before we confuse her too much." Eve replied looking at the other girl in the room. Her facial expression gave away the fact that she was totally clueless.
"E…er Constanza you might want to sit down for this." Sirius cautioned knowing that this was going to be quite a shock for her.
Constanza obediently sat down in the nearest chair wondering how Sirius even knew he name, but decided that she would ask later if she even remembered. She had a feeling that whatever they were going to tell her was going to be a lot more important.
Remus took a deep breath and Eve gave him a reassuring smile before diving into the story about how Constanza was his other daughter. At first Constanza looked confused and in denial of the situation. But as the story progressed with help from Sirius and Eve, Constanza began to believe it more and more. Eve did everything she could think of to help convince Constanza that this story was real, and it was obviously working. Constanza no longer thought of Remus as an insane professor as Eve had done, but as a man trying to piece his family back together. Halfway through the story Constanza was convinced but she let them keep going and watched them interact with each other.
"So yea that's it." Remus sheepishly finished.
"Don't forget that I'm her godfather." Sirius stated remembering the last time Remus told this story.
"Don't worry Sirius I believe that you've already told her five times since I started the story."
"Oh…right."
"So let me get this straight. My real name is Elizabeth Rose Lupin, you're my father, you're my twin sister and you're my on the run godfather."
"Yea that's right." Eve answered
"Cool."
"Wait that's it…no yelling, or denial…ore anything?" Remus stuttered in surprise at Elizabeth's reaction.
"Yea that's it…unless you want me to react that way?"
"No…I was just…shocked."
"I believe that she had a better explanation the first time around then I did." Eve elaborated.
The rest of the evening was spent with the small family getting to know each other better and building better relationships and bonds.
* * *
The next week went by as slow as it possibly could. The teachers kept on lecturing about lat minute topics that they needed for the O.W.L.'s. But as it always does the day of the dance arrived and it was promising to be a day that no one would forget.
The girls' dorms in Gryffindor tower were buzzing with who Harry and Ron were going to the dance because no one had seen either one ask any one to the dance. Hermione and Ginny were especially curious as to whom they were going with but they'd never admit it. Harry and Ron had decided to keep it quite about who they were going to the dance with because they knew the girls would get hate mail and they wanted to limit it as much as possible.
Harry, Ron, Olivia, Constanza, Hermione, and Ginny spent the first part of the day playing relay races that were set up all around Hogwarts. After a few hours of playing around Hermione and Ginny excused themselves from the group to go get ready for the dance. Constanza, Harry, Olivia, and Ron decided to roam the castle searching for new passageways and whatnot to kill some more time. At around four Olivia and Constanza announced that they were going to get ready and would see the boys later. Once Harry and Ron were far enough away Olivia and Constanza changed directions and headed to the defense Against the Dark Arts room. They had arranged with Professor Fireoza to get ready in her quarters since they were from different houses.
"Eve…Elizabeth good I was wondering when you two were going to get here." Megan greeted as she opened her door.
"We still have plenty of time Professor." Elizabeth stated entering the professors flat.
"It's Megan girls; outside of class you have permission to call me Megan. Now let's get on with the makeup and hair."
The three girls spent the next three hours perfecting makeup, hair, nails, and their outfits. In actuality though it only took close to two hours but with all the joking around the three of them did it took a lot longer. When they were done each girl did a twirl in front of the mirror for its approval and then left for the great hall. Along the way they picked up Remus and 'Snuffles'. Elizabeth and Eve showed off their outfits for their father and godfather before running off to find their dates and shock the entire student body of Hogwarts.
Eve and Elizabeth got to the Entrance Hall to see Harry and Ron waiting for them and a sea of girls surrounding them. Harry was wearing dress robes of a dark midnight blue and Ron was wearing the new charcoal grey dress robes that Fred and George had bought him. Eve and Elizabeth stood on the other side of the hall talking to each other and soon they were surrounded by a gaggle of guys. Eve was wearing dress robes of a teal blue with a hint of silver in them, with her hair up in a messy bun with soft tendrils cascading down in random spots. Elizabeth wore pastel periwinkle colored robes and her hair was done up in a French twist with some of her natural curls escaping.
"This is going perfectly." Eve exclaimed
"I know all the guys think we're single and the girls think Harry and Ron are single. Aren't they all in for a huge shock."
"I can't wait to see the Hermione and Ginny's faces."
"Why?"
"They have to be the most interested in who Harry and Ron are going with. Plus the fact that they don't like us already for hanging out with the guys."
"True."
The girl's telepathic conversation was cut short by the commotion that came from across the hall. One look told them that most of the girls had given up and entered the Great Hall. Only steps behind the retreating girls were the guys that had previously surrounded Eve and Elizabeth. Once everyone was out Harry and Ron headed over to the two remaining girls.
"You two wouldn't happen to have dates for this little dance would you?" Harry asked playfully
"Oh why kind sir if I knew you were to ask I wouldn't have agreed to go with my date but alas I did agree so I'm taken." Olivia replied playing along
"And who may be this boy who has reserved you for this dance?"
"Why Mr. Malfoy of course."
"Well then I think that I can steal you away from him."
With that Harry hooked arms with Olivia and headed towards the doors of the Great Hall with Constanza and Ron not far behind them.
"Here goes nothing." Eve said as Harry reached to open the doors.
"You can say that again." Elizabeth replied.
The Great Hall was bustling with students chatting to each other waiting for the dance to begin when suddenly the doors opened and a hushed silence fell over the vast room. As the students caught sight of who was entering collective gasps left this lips.
"Well this is going well." Olivia muttered under her breath as her and Harry headed to the table off to the right side with the rest of their friends.
"About as good as it'll ever be." Harry replied.
The foursome finally reached the table, sat down and began to chat among themselves ignoring the rest of the student body. The masses gathered the hint and sat down to discuss the pairings they had just seen.
"Now that we're all here." Dumbledore began drawing everyone's attention to the front of the hall. "Let's feast and dance."
"The buffet tables along the back wall instantly filled with many delicious looking foods and the music began to pulse throughout the hall.
"Would you rather eat or dance first?" Harry asked Olivia
"I think I'd rather dance since I'm not very hungry at the moment."
"Ok."
Harry stood up and took Olivia's arm and led her out onto the already crowded dance floor. The dizzily danced to the up beat tempo of the songs that played for a half hour before getting a chance to slow down. Harry was a little unsure of the slow dances but Olivia guided him and they went along without a hitch. As they danced they chatted about little things while observing the others around them. Olivia saw that Constnaza and Ron were out on the floor as well enjoying each others company. When the beat began to pick back up Harry's stomach decided that it was time to eat. So Olivia followed him over to the buffet to pile their plates full of food and then back to their table to eat it all.
The music kept playing on but Olivia and Harry had yet to hit the dance floor again. They were more then done with the food they had gotten but were now content to just sit and talk for a while. Their discussion was ended when Ginny sat down at their table on the other side of Harry.
"Oh hello Ginny." Olivia greeted
"Hello." Ginny responded with the minimal amount of coldness in her voice as possible.
"Hi Gin" Harry greeted before turning back to Olivia "I'm telling you Olivia that's not how I remember it."
"When was the last time you saw it Harry?"
"Um…two or three years ago."
"Exactly I think I'd know better since I saw it this past summer. Now if you'll excuse me I believe I own Ron a dance and I believe that Mrs. Weasley would like to dance with you."
With that said Olivia went off to find Ron and Harry led Ginny to the dance floor still muttering about what they were arguing about.
"She seams to upset you a lot." Ginny observed as they danced along to the beat.
"Nah she just has a way of somehow always ending up being right and I can't figure out how."
"Oh."
The rest of their dance was spent in silence. Ginny was realizing just how much she disliked Olivia and Harry was discovering just how much he liked her. After their one dance Harry went off in search of Olivia hoping that he had the courage to ask her the question that was itching to be asked.
The dance slowly wore on and Harry had yet to ask Olivia the question. She could tell that he had something on his mind but decided that if he wanted to talk about it then he would bring it up. The beat to the next song brought Olivia out of her revive as she pulled Harry further onto the floor to dance to it little did she know that the song was reflecting Harry's feelings.
"Where are we going?" Harry shouted over the beginning notes of the song.
"Further onto the floor I love this song!"
"In the car I just can't wait
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold you hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm just scared of what you think
You made me nervous so I really can't eat
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever,
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever. Let's make this last forever
When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you.
I'm jealous of everybody in the room.
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever.
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever.
Forever and ever. Let's make this last forever
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever.
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever.
Forever and ever. Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever. Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever. Let's make this last forever"
When the song was over Harry pulled Olivia toward the side of the hall as a slower song began to float to their ears.
"Olivia I need to ask you something." Harry began
Olivia could hear the nervousness in his voice but decided against pointing it out. Instead she opted for a smile.
"Sure Harry what is it?"
"Olivia I was wondering if you…" Harry lost his entire train of thought with the sudden jolt of pain the scare on his head had caused.
"Harry what's wrong?" Olivia asked concerned for her friend
"My scar's burning."
Olivia was about to respond when she felt a icy chill slide down her spine she looked over at Constanza and realized that she had felt it as well. Olivia took one more look at Harry before realizing what she had to do. She was about to get Elizabeth when she felt her next to her.
"Is it a calling?" Elizabeth questioned
"Yes, bastard had to pick now…oh well we've gotta met him out there or he'll come in here."
With that the two girls swiftly left the Great Hall.
