A/N: Here it is, the 5th chapter. This chapter is dedicated to my accomplice in the fan fic industry, Wajma a.k.a. Claudia Chase. Hey, it's her birthday.

Chapter 5: "What Studying Leads To"

Last Time: Draco and Jamie met in the library, as did Harry and Claudia. All was going well (as well as well could get between a Gryffindor and Slytherin) until Jamie and Draco started trading insults between each other. Jamie called Draco a bastard and Draco called Jamie a mudblood. In conclusion, Jamie punched him in the face.

"Oh my god." Claudia whispered.

The whole crowd gasped as Draco faltered at the force of the blow. Madam Pince, the librarian, was in total shock.

Jamie tried as hard as she could to fight back tears. Why was she crying to begin with? Wasn't the punch good enough to cancel out what Draco had called her? Guess not, and Jamie wasn't the kind to cry. As Draco grabbed his jaw in pain, he saw tears well in Jamie's eyes. She then just looked at him then walked out the library.

"She seemed pretty calm for someone who just punched Malfoy in the face." Harry said, trying to get over the trauma. Claudia gave him one of those looks, like after all that's happened, that's best thing he can come up with.

"Maybe you should go after her. You know… girl talk." Claudia rolled her eyes. She got up and started to walk but suddenly stopped. Draco had finally realized what happened and ran out the library to catch up with Jamie.

"I think he's going to be doing all the talking. That's bloody git had no right to call Jamie a…. a mudblood!" Claudia told Harry. "The nerve of that… that total bastard!" People were starting to look at Claudia now.

"Umm, Claudia?" Harry was trying to get her attention.

"I'm going to kick his ass!"

"Claudia?" he said a little bit louder.

"Just wait, he's going to get what's coming to him!"

"Claudia?" louder still.

"That prat! I hope Jamie rips off his arms and-

"Claudia!"

"What!?"

"I think you have the whole libraries' attention, please do continue." Harry said with sarcasm. Claudia looked around and everyone turned their heads to go back to what they were doing.

"Oh, sorry Harry. Got carried away."

"It's ok, just save that energy for something else." Harry smirked. Claudia started to blush.

Meanwhile, people had more important things to attend to, like Jamie and Draco.

Jamie walked down the hall, trying really hard not to cry. She decided to stop. She leaned on the wall and slid down. She pulled her knees up to her and put her head down on her arms. Things were racing through her mind, like 'Did I just punch Draco? What do I do now? It doesn't matter, I never liked that prick anyway, at least I think I never liked him. Oh no Jamie what are you thinking?'

Draco was running down the halls. You think he would have caught up with her by now, considering she was walking and he was running. One thing was on his mind right now. He was desperately wishing that what had just happened really didn't. As Jamie sat down in the hallway she heard footsteps coming. She lifted her head. The footsteps stopped. She turned around and Draco was standing right in front of her.

In the library, everyone decided to clear out except Harry and Claudia.

"You know, I hope Jamie is alright. I want to go see if she is alright, but the person who caused all this must have better reasons." Claudia said, running her hands through her hair. "We barely got any work done." Claudia also said. Harry didn't respond.

"Harry?"

"Umm, Claudia, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now." Claudia froze. Was Harry about to say what she thinks he was going to say? She has been waiting a while for this; this is all she wanted to hear.

"Yes Harry, come on say it." Claudia was irking to hear it.

"Your chair leg is on my foot." Harry said. Claudia sighed loudly.

"Oh, sorry." She got up and moved her chair of his foot.

"Thanks, I thought I was going to have permanent damage." Claudia looked insulated.

"Now come on, I don't weigh that much." Harry just smiled. They soon got back to work.

Claudia was writing ingredients to the potion while Harry did measurements. While she was writing, Claudia almost jerked as she felt something on her finger. She looked down and to her surprise saw Harry's pinky caressing her ring finger. She started to blush horribly, and then looked at Harry. He was still working and seem to not notice what he was doing at all. She tried to twitch her finger to make him notice what he was doing. He soon looked down and noticed what he was doing. He looked at Claudia and blushed. (A/N: There has GOT to be limit to how many times a person can blush:) She just smiled in response. Harry looked at her and tried to say something but nothing would come out.

Back in the hall Jamie and Draco were just staring at each other for a while. Jamie's eyes were red from crying. The silence was to much to bare so Jamie got up and walked off.

"Jamie, wait." Draco said, her first name slipping out his mouth. Jamie froze where she stood and slowly turned around. She had noticed he said her first name.

"I'm…I'm sorry." Jamie just looked at him. 'Did he just say he was sorry? Well, just because he is Draco Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy doesn't say sorry, doesn't mean that when he does say it, it actually means that he really IS sorry… right? He's not getting away with it that easy.' Jamie thought. She couldn't think of anything to say, so she turned right back around and kept walking. Draco ran up to her and grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Don't touch me!" Jamie yelled as she quickly pulled her wrist from his grasp, as if his arms were poison.

"I said I was sorry!"

"I don't care! Sorry is not enough!"

"Well, it's all I can offer!" Silence engulfed them again, giving them a chance to calm down before they talked again. Draco broke the silence.

"I shouldn't of called you a-

"Then why did you call me it then? Did you run out of insults? Did you feel the need jump down lower then you already are? Did it make you all warm and fuzzy inside when you saw me crying?" Draco smirked.

"What the hell is so funny!?"

"It made me all warm and fuzzy inside when you punched me."

"Ahh!" Jamie stormed off.

"Wait, that's not what I meant!"

"I have nothing to say to you Malfoy! Leave me alone!" Draco just standed there, depressed.

Meanwhile, in the library, Claudia and Harry have important things to get out the way.

"Harry Potter, I believe you are blushing." Claudia smirked. Harry was thinking, 'Oh no this is going all wrong. I'm not supposed to be blushing. I'm supposed to come straight out with it. I can still do that, can't I?' He then realized that neither one of them moved their hands out the way.

"Um, Claudia."

"Yes Harry?" Harry then took a deep breath.

"Yeah, um, I wanted you to know that I like-

Claudia started to laugh. "Don't worry about it Harry, I already know what your going to say."

"You… you do?"

"Yup, you're going to say something like 'Your chair is on my other foot now.' And them I'm just going-

Claudia was cut off when soft lips touched hers. Harry had no idea why he did what he just did. Maybe this was the reason 'Here this will shut her up.' He was happy when Claudia started to respond the kiss. (A/N: Here comes the 'R' part, lol) She then parted her lips and Harry slipped his tongue in. Their tongues started wrestling, both trying to win control. (A/N: Lord forgive me, for I have sinned, lol.) They begin to kiss each other passionately. Claudia put her arms around his neck bringing him closer, and Harry put his arms around her waist. (A/N: Mmmmm, Starburst! Lol. Ok I'll stop the author notes) They then parted. Claudia was the first to speak.

"Wow."
