That evening, all the students, well, mainly the first-years, climbed into bed, full and exhausted, still talking softly about the night's activities late into the night.
Every so often a prefect would open the dormitory door and look in, checking to see that all the students were asleep, or at least silent. During that time everyone would shut their mouths and close their eyes, pretending to be sound asleep. As soon as they heard the click of the door, the talking started up again.
One of the prefects had come in while they were talking, and had transfigured an alarm clock into a small radio. The students soon fell asleep, the quiet music relaxing them and sending them into slumber. Megan fell asleep quickly after everyone else had started breathing deeply, her thoughts fixed on one particular person. A boy with black hair, green eyes, and glasses.

Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Oh, thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now, nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me coming back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Now, nothing can change
What you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times
And the bad
I'll be standing there by you
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see (to see)
We're in heaven
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
We're in heaven

When Megan woke up the next morning, her thoughts were still set on Harry Potter. She thought of him as a friend, if they were even that close anymore. She didn't really know, she hadn't talked to him since they met up at Diagon Alley. He had looked happy to see her that day, but his friends had persuaded him easily to follow them. Megan didn't know what to think anymore.
She slipped out of bed and onto the cold floor of the dormitory. "Cold! Cold! Cold. Cold! Cold! Cold," she chanted quietly as she rummaged around under her bed for her slippers. She slid them on her feet and padded quickly out of the dormitory, silently shutting the heavy door behind her.
Harry looked up, hearing someone on the cold marble steps. Megan was coming down from her dorm, not noticing him. She sat down in a large overstuffed leather chair a few feet away from Harry; that was when she noticed him. Harry was staring at her, his eyes glowing a brighter green than she ever could have imagined. Megan had always wondered about the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, but she had never asked him about it. Until now.
"Harry?" she asked, her voice coming out in something that sounded like the squeak of a rodent that has just been stepped on.
He answered her in a quiet voice. "Yes?" She glanced down at her firefly-print pajama pants before looking up at him again. "How did you get that scar?"
Harry looked her straight in the eye and a sad smile appeared on his face. "An evil wizard killed my parents when I was only one years old. He tried to kill me with that same powerful curse… but he couldn't. To this day no one knows why. The only thing that curse did to me was give me this." He pointed at his scar.
"Harry? Can I ask you one more question?" He nodded.
"Tell me the truth. Did you forget about me when you moved?"
Without hesitation, he answered the simple question. "No, not even for a day." She smiled and leaned her head back against the chair, closing her eyes. She heard movement. Harry was getting up out of his chair. "I have to go to breakfast, I'll see you down there in a little while." He leaned down and softly brushed his lips across her cheek, then turned and headed out of the common room.
