Chapter 22

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"

In the mean time Rachel and Harry had met several times, and they became friends.

A few days later, it was a very nice and sunny day at Hogwarts, when Harry saw Rachel.

"Harry, what are you doing here?" Rachel asked him.

"I? I'm visiting Anne at Hogwarts. And you?" answered Harry.

"I just wanted to see Hogwarts again," lied Rachel. Only Harry noticed se wasn't speaking the entire truth.

"Seeing Hogwarts again?" he asked.

"Well… actually I was looking for you, because I… er… I… er… well, you se, I like you, you know that, don't you?" asked Rachel hesitating.

"Yes, I already thought you did," answered Harry. He didn't know what to tell her. He liked her very much too… more than very much actually… probably Rachel had her 'gift' to 'see' what people really feel and think from her father, because she saw the conflict in Harry.

"Just say it," she encouraged him.

"Well… I… er… actually like you much too… more than really much like you, even… to be quite honest," said Harry.

Rachel didn't know how to react, she decided to be very interested in the plants growing on the Hogwarts grounds, they were outside after all…

At first Harry didn't understand her reaction. He thought she tried to reject him this way, but she turned around and gestured him to come over to her.

"Harry, I… er… I want you to think about what you just said to me… about what you think of me.' Harry looked at her, he was disappointed. Was she rejecting him?

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Harry! I just think it would all be a bit… I don't know… quickly, I guess. I mean, we know each other barely, you see. Yes, our parents were good friends, but… I don't know…"

"Rachel, what are you trying to tell me?"

"That I… that I…" began Rachel, but her attention was drawn to something else. Harry was standing next to her, and he had put his arm around her.

"you can say it," he encouraged her.

"I am… in love with you, Harry," she managed to say, hoarsely. Harry reacted in a way he never expected from himself. He found himself standing in front of her, looking deeply into her eyes. They smiled at each other, Rachel started when she saw Harry's face come closer to hers. Their noses almost touched, and Harry began kissing Rachel. At first cautious, but it quickly became a more intimate and deeper kiss. Rachel was embracing Harry now too, she had expected much from her visit to Harry, when he was alone, but she couldn't have expected this. She found it wonderful.

Anne sat in her office at Hogwarts behind her desk, checking the exams. Even if it was cool inside the castle, she saw it had to be warm outside.

Anne stood up and went to the window to take a look outside. Her eyes were dwelling over the Hogwarts grounds, when her gaze fell upon a familiar looking person… when she took a closer look, she saw it was Harry. He was talking to someone… no he was kissing a girl… and that girl looked familiar too…

"Rachel?"

Anne took her Omnioculars, which were standing standard on her windowsill, and aimed on those two persons.

"Rachel and Harry… I could have expected something like this to happen!" murmured Anne to herself. She walked back o her desk to fetch a piece of parchment and a quill to tell Sirius about what she just saw. But at the moment she dipped her quill in her inkbottle, she realised she could tell him that evening about it.

A/N: I think you already expected something like this to happen? But in bout a few chapters there's a huge plot-twist coming up… I won't tell you what it's about!
