Chapter 7

Love is in the air

Harry went and got Emily's wheelchair and Fi helped her up.

"Here you go Emily," Harry brought the wheelchair over to her.

"No, will you just take my arm, I have to use my legs," she reached out her arm and Harry took her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist.

With her other hand she held his hand that was around her waist. They walked out of the portrait door together side by side.

"Do you think it's a little obvious he likes her as much as she likes him," Hermione said to Ron and Fi.

Fi sat on Ron's lap and said, "He's taking my best friend away from me."

"No he's not, he's just in love with her, you'll always be her best friend," Ron said with a smile.

Harry and Emily walked outside towards the lake. As they were walking they saw Hagrid outside his cabin.

"Let's go say hello to Hagrid," Harry suggested.

So the two lovebirds walked over to Hagrid.

"Why hello there Harry, and Miss Emily," Hagrid said with a big smile.

"Hello Hagrid and how are you?" Harry asked thoughtfully.

"I'm doing just fine, Emily you're looking better," Hagrid answered.

"I feel much better too," Emily replied.

After they spoke to Hagrid they went to the bench by the lake. Harry sat Emily down and then himself down.

"Emily can I ask you a question?" Harry asked.

Emily looked at him and said, "Shoot."

"Well, I've been thinking, I like you a lot. And with the whole glowing scar thing I really think we're meant for each other. So, will you be my girlfriend?" Harry blushed after he asked this.

"Harry, I would be honored to be your girlfriend," Emily answered and she leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips.

They sat by the lake for awhile and talked about their parents. Harry told her that he was just a baby when they died and he couldn't remember much about his parents. She told him that she was 3 when her parents were killed. She started to cry, just thinking about how he murdered her parents brought back terrible memories. Harry held her and silent tears ran down her cheeks.

"I miss them so much, some mornings I wake up looking for them and then I remember that they are gone," she said and Harry held her tightly.

"You have me now and nothing will ever happen to you," he told her and kissed the top of her head.

Harry and Emily sat in each others arms and watched the sunset. It was beautiful; colors of pink and gold filled then sky. Harry helped Emily up and they walked back to the common room.

When they got into the common room there were three large birds sitting on the table.

"What are you three doing here it's way past your bedtimes," Emily said and Harry looked at her strangely.

He walked her to the table and she sat down at one of the red squishy chairs. The large red bird flew to her and landed on her arm.

"Harry I would like you to meet Wolfgang, he is a red macaw, this is Amadeus, he is an African grey , and this is Mozart, he is a Moluccan cockatoo," Emily introduced her birds.

Harry sat next to her and Amadeus flew onto his arm.

"Hello," the bird said. Harry laughed he had never seen birds like these.

Out of the corner of Harry's eye he saw Ron and Fi come downstairs. Ron saw the birds and stopped in his tracks.

"Who and what are those?" He asked a little frightened.

"These are Emily's birds, they are parrots," Harry said.

Fi came over to Emily and started to pet Mozart on his head.

"How did they get here," she asked.

"We missed you guys, so we flew here," Amadeus replied.

Ron jumped, "They can talk!?"

Fi and Emily nodded, "They are highly intelligent birds," Fi told him.

Emily told the birds that they had to get home because Jenkins might start to worry.

"Who is Jenkins," Harry asked.

"He is our butler and he also takes care of all the animals when we go away," Emily replied.

The birds said goodbye and flew out the window. Fi got up and sat on Ron's lap. Then Fi started to kiss Ron on the lips. Ron returned the kiss and before they knew it they were making out. Harry started to laugh and Ron stopped for a minute and said, "Shut up Harry."

Then he started kissing Fi again. Emily got up and sat next to Harry. She stared into his eyes and started kissing him. Hermione walked into the common room, she just came back from the library.

"Oh my god you guys, get a room," she said in a disgusted tone.

Ron looked up and said, "Not a bad idea."

Hermione huffed and went up to the girls' dorm. Ron looked over at Harry, he was still kissing Emily.

"When do they come up for air," Ron laughed.

They heard Ron and stopped kissing, "Ron you were kissing Fi just as much," Harry said.

Harry took off his robe; he forgot to take it off after he got back to the common room.

"I need to change into my sweats, Fi will you help me up to our room?" Emily asked softly.

Fi helped Emily up and they went up to their room. Harry and Ron started talking, and they heard the Mexican hat dance.

"Isn't that Emily's cell phone?" Ron asked looking around the room.

Harry found it and the caller id said 'Zack'.

"Ron, it's Zack, should I pick it up?" Harry asked and Ron just shrugged his shoulders.

So, Harry picked up the cell phone, "Hello?" Harry said quietly.

The voice on the phone sounded angry and confused, "Who is this?" Zack asked.

"This Harry Potter, I'm Emily's boyfriend," Harry replied.

"You're the who and the what now?" Zack was really mad now.

"I'm Emily's boyfriend," Harry repeated.

"I can't believe this, we've been going out for two years and she thinks she can just dump me!" Zack yelled into the phone.

Harry told Zack never to call again and if he came anywhere near her he would be in big trouble. Zack hung up and so did Harry, then Emily and Fi came back down. Harry decided not to tell her about the phone call, he didn't want to upset her anymore.

"That's better, I'm much more comfortable now," she said as she snuggled next to Harry.

He wrapped his arms around her and looked at the fire. Fi snuggled with Ron, but they couldn't contain themselves and they started making out again. Emily looked up into Harry's eyes; they flickered from the light of the fire.

"Harry, promise me that when it comes time to fight the horrible thing that is coming, you'll help me and Fi," she stared into his eyes and Harry said he would do anything to keep her safe.

She kissed his lips gently and he returned it. They all finally went up to their separate rooms to go to bed.
