Aftermath.
Harry sat in his favorite armchair by the fireplace in the common room trying to take everything in: He was officially going out with Cho Chang, Hermione and Ron haven't showed any signs of liking each other when they both secretly did, and Sabrina was with the person he hated most in his life. She's out of control. He thought. Who would ever want to be with him; Malfoy. "What are you doing up?" A familiar voice asked. Harry perked up and turned to the entrance to Gryffindor tower.
"I thought you were with Malfoy?"
"I was." Sabrina said briskly.
"Oh so you two did it already?" He interrogated. She walked over to him and collapsed in the armchair adjacent to him.
"No, we didn't do anything at all. We walked around the school a little bit and I was thinking about what you said. You're right I've only known him for two weeks. That's just pathetic of me to even contemplate having sex with him. When we were done walking, he asked me if I wanted to go to his dormitory, I told him I wasn't ready. I kinda lied to him and told him I was a virgin." She said playing with her fingers. "Which reminds me, you're the only person in this school who knows about my sexual status. Please, don't tell anyone."
"I won't. Does Hermione and Ron count?" He said. She let out a small laugh.
"You told them already didn't you?" She said raising her eyebrows with annoyance.
"Yeah." He replied. He wasn't going to lie. She rolled her eyes.
"You never answered me, what are you doing up this late in the common room? Usually there's no one in here at this hour."
"Just thinking about.things."
"Things? What type of things?"
"Just you know, normal stuff." Sabrina was extremely easy to talk to, Harry thought. "Cho and I are going steady now."
"Yay! That's what you wanted right?" Questioned Sabrina sweetly.
"I don't know. I mean two seconds after we said we were steady, we got into a fight."
"That's not a good sign. But still, every couple has their arguments." She stated trying to make him feel better.
"I guess. She kinda joked around afterwards saying how we got our first fight out of the way." Harry said. Sabrina laughed.
"See? There you go! Always look at the positive side of things or else you'll wind up a sad mother fucker like Snape." She said firmly upholding her bluntness and witty personality. Harry smiled. She yawned.
"Ugh, I'm bushed. See you tomorrow Harry."
"'Night!" Shouted Harry as she headed up to her dormitory where Hermione was waiting to interrogate her. Harry stood up and walked upstairs to his dormitory. He changed in silence as his roommates were all asleep and slipped into bed unnoticed. He fell asleep quickly. No sooner did he close his eyes that a dream came to him. It was more of a memory. He saw again what he saw in Snape's pensieve last school year. He witnessed Snape being tortured by his father. He watched as his mother Lily told James off for doing so and to let him down.
"Only if you'll go out with me." His father said. Harry was always shocked at the rest. Everyone that had known his parents always said great things about them and with those thoughts in his mind, he watched as his future parents quarreled and argued. It seemed almost unreal. How could two people wind up together if they're acting like this? Then his dream changed suddenly. He was with Sabrina, Ron, and Hermione on the day Sabrina had showed them her tarot cards.
"My best friend back in New York was wiccan and practiced all of this stuff. She taught be everything she knew.Her family was a big believer in stuff like tarot cards and séances." She said.
Harry woke up that morning and completely discarded the dream. The weekend flew by as Harry and his three friends spent all of their time in the library catching up on homework. Needless to say, on Sunday night they all were extremely exhausted. Harry didn't even get a chance to talk with Cho only some small talk on the way to the bathroom Saturday evening. Monday came with the usual routine of getting up and going to class. Nothing spectacular was happening at Hogwarts for the first time in Harry's six years there. A week passed, then another. Before anyone knew it, it was October and the crisp fall air was upon them once again. The trees in the Forbidden Forest started loosing their leaves as the weather became cooler and cooler. Harry talked to Cho about trivial things when they were together, which wasn't very often. Cho was in her last year at Hogwarts, her N.E.W.T.s year, which meant plenty of homework and very little lesure time.
Draco and Sabrina on the other hand were spending just as much time together as they did before the dance if not more. Harry, Hermione, and Ron took notice at her usual absence at the Gryffindor table during meal times. The only couple that was at a complete stop was Ron and Hermione. The two of them often argued when they were in the same room together without Harry to mediate. One day in mid October, Harry confronted Ron in the common room when Hermione was in the library doing homework.
"Hi Ron." Said Harry casually.
"Hi Harry." Said Ron. Harry didn't know how to bring the subject up so he just went for it.
"What's happening with you and Hermione?" Ron looked at Harry. Harry gulped loudly. Ron looked furious, embarrassed, and confused at the same time.
"Nothing." Said Ron trying to act as casual as Harry had did. Harry looked at him.
"Nothing?" He asked. "Nothing at all?"
"Nothing at all." Ron repeated. Harry rolled his eyes.
"What happened at the dance? I thought things between you two were going great?" Harry asked. Ron shook his head.
"I thought so too. While we were dancing I leaned over to try to kiss her and she stopped me."
"She stopped you?" Ron nodded.
"And that's not the worst part. She said she just wanted us to be friends." Said Ron disappointed.
"You're kidding me!" Harry exclaimed.
"Nope. I still don't understand what happened. I thought you said she liked me."
"That's what she told me. I'm gonna go ask her what's going on."
"Shouldn't you be dealing with your girlfriend at the moment?" Ron asked with a smirk. Harry shrugged.
"No. She doesn't have anytime for me." Harry said showing his disappointment.
"That's a shame. Too bad you and Sabrina aren't going out. She's always off somewhere with Malfoy." Ron stated. Harry glared at him.
"Please don't mention her in front of me." Harry said furiously. Ron cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh, jealousy am I sensing? Not the famous Harry Potter!"
"Shut up! I am jealous at the fact that Malfoy gets to spend time with his girlfriend but I'm not jealous that he's going out with her. Anyway Sabrina tells me that its just a fling."
"Sabrina said that?"
"Well, no, but I can sense it. I have a six sense for these type of things." Harry reassured himself. Ron grinned.
"Sure you do mate. Now can you please go and talk to Hermione for me?" Harry nodded and walked out of the common room. He started heading down to the library where he knew Hermione probably was. As he was walking down the corridor, he heard two familiar voices.
"Why do you hang out with Potter?" Asked a cold, drawling voice.
"What do you mean why do I hang out with him? He's nice." Said a female voice sounding annoyed. Harry knew who the couple was.
"He's an idiot." Malfoy said.
"I don't see what you have against him! Harry's a great guy! Everyone thinks so." Harry smiled to himself. She thinks I'm great--WAIT, you have a girlfriend. Remember that Harry! He reminded himself.
"Some girlfriend you are Sabrina. Siding with the enemy." Said Malfoy briskly. Harry knew that Sabrina wasn't going to take easy to this.
"What the hell are you talking about? You know as well as I do that I'm a great girlfriend. I sit with you in all of the classes we have together, I'm with you during meal times. God I even ditch my friends to be with you! How can you insult me like that?" She exclaimed. Malfoy put his arms around her and held her tight. She turned her head into Malfoy's robes and wept silently. Was Malfoy showing compassion? It seemed that way. Sabrina was very emotional. Harry had a feeling she wasn't crying about what Malfoy had said but something else that she wasn't telling him or anyone else for that matter.
"I'm sorry." He said sincerely. "I didn't want you to cry."
"Yeah, well you should of thought about that before you opened your mouth." Said Sabrina.
"Come on, we'll go outside by the lake. I know you like it there." He said trying to cheer her up. She nodded and they began walking in the opposite direction of Harry. Harry shrugged to himself and continued to the library. Sure enough, Hermione was there scribbling something from a book on to her parchment. Harry sat in the seat across from her and she didn't notice him doing so. Harry coughed and Hermione looked up.
"Oh hey Harry. What's up?" Harry didn't answer. He was still thinking about what he witnessed between Sabrina and Malfoy. "Harry?"
"Do you think Malfoy loves her?" Hermione cocked an eyebrow.
"Who?"
"Sabrina. I saw them in the corridor and he said something that upset her and he made her cry. I saw the look on his face and he looked like he felt bad and he put his arm around her then offered to do something nice to her." Harry said rather quickly. Hermione looked at him and shrugged.
"I think he might. I know Sabrina talks about him all the time and from what she tells me and what you just saw he just might." Hermione said honestly. Harry sighed.
"Do you think she loves him?"
"I don't know. I'm not too sure about her." Harry's spirits lifted a little bit. He then suddenly remembered why he had come down to see her in the first place.
"Why did stop Ron from kissing you at the dance?" Hermione dropped her quill and stared at him.
"He told you about that!"
"Of course he did! I'm his best friend!"
"Ugh, I could kill the little bugger!"
"But why didn't you want to him to kiss you? I thought you liked him! And how come you gave him the whole 'I just want to be friends' thing?" Harry shouted. A few people surrounding them hushed him. Hermione looked annoyed.
"Because he's my best friend next to you and Sabrina! It'd just be weird if I kissed him. Besides, what if we did start dating and broke up? Then our years of friendship would be down the drain forever! I can't risk that." She said looking directly at Harry.
"He really likes you Hermione. Why don't you just give it a chance?" Asked Harry. Hermione looked down at her feet for a moment then looked back at Harry.
"I can't. Viktor's coming to visit me the day before Halloween in Hogsmade and--"
"Wait a minute, so Ron was right all that time? You like Krum?"
"Well, yeah. And I'm going to meet him at the Three Broomsticks and we're just going to talk. We're not even calling it a date."
"But you want it to be a date, don't you?"
"Harry, do you have to talk about this? Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?"
"Why does everyone bring that up? Cho's busy studying!"
"Harry?" Questioned a light voice from Harry's back. Harry turned around abruptly.
"Cho! What are you doing here?" He asked slightly nervous.
"Studying. I was about to ask you the same." Harry looked at Cho and back at Hermione for a minute. He knew Cho would hate him if he hadn't come down to see her.
"He was asking me if I knew where you were in the library." Hermione interjected. Cho looked at Hermione then at Harry.
"Really? Harry that's so sweet!" She hugged him tightly then kissed him tenderly. Madam Pince walked over to the couple and shooed them out of the library. Harry looked back at Hermione just as he was walking out of the library and mouthed "thank you!" She replied "Don't worry about it!" Cho grabbed his hand and smiled.
"So, what have you been up to?" She questioned.
"Nothing really, just--"
"Do you want to go somewhere that we can be alone?" Asked Cho eagerly quickly scanning the hallway to make sure no one was coming.
"But we are alone." Harry said. Cho looked at him.
"No, I mean be alone." She said seriously. It took Harry about a half a minute to figure out what she was talking about.
"Oh!" He exclaimed. "That! Well, I, er, what I mean to say is that I, er, have never."
"Don't worry Harry, we're not going to anything like that, not today anyway. How about the Room of Requirement? No one should be in there this time of the day." Harry blinked. He could not believe her forwardness.
"Yeah, okay." He said wearily. Cho smiled.
"Great." She grabbed his hand and dragged him in the direction of the Room of Requirement. He shook his head in disbelief. No, this cannot be happening. Said a little voice in his head. Then another voice appeared. This one was excited and happy as apposed to the nervous more timid voice that usually occupied his mind.
About an hour later, Harry was heading back to the Gryffindor Common Room hand in hand with Cho. They were both beaming at each other. "That was good." Cho said. "Real good. A lot better than last time."
"Well what did you expect last time? You were crying and it was my first kiss!" Harry exclaimed. He couldn't help smiling. Their snog session lasted long and was a lot more passionate than last December. Cho smiled.
"I guess you're right." She said and giving Harry's hand a squeeze. They stopped walking for a moment. "I'm going this way." She said pointing in the direction Harry assumed where the Ravenclaw common room was located. Harry sighed.
"When am I going to see you again?" He asked. He knew she was just making up for lost time this evening.
"Soon, I promise." She leaned in towards Harry and pressed her lips against his. He put his hands around her waist and Cho gripped his forearm for support. She broke away first. He smiled and hugged her. Cho walked away and kept looking back at Harry trying to get a glimpse of him as he headed to Gryffindor Tower. He uttered the password and entered the common room looking at a very angry Ron. He was steaming.
"What the hell happened? I doubt it took two hours for you to ask Hermione a couple of questions for me!" Snapped Ron.
"Sorry, I got side tracked." Ron looked at Harry. "I saw Sabrina. She was talking to Malfoy in the hallway."
"Oh." Said Ron looking at the floor. "What were they talking about?"
"Me."
"You?"
"Yeah, he asked her why she hung out with me and he said she was siding with the enemy." Said Harry sitting down in a squishy armchair near the roaring fire. Ron sat across from him.
"You? The enemy? He's the one who's father is a Death Eater!" Shouted Ron. "What did Sabrina say? Knowing her she wouldn't take to the easy."
"She didn't. She yelled at him in the middle of the hallway then started to cry."
"She cried?"
"Yeah, but that's not the weird part. Malfoy looked like he actually cared about her. Hermione reckons he might be in love with her." Stated Harry. The thought sent shivers through his body. Ron stared at him.
"You're kidding me! Malfoy in love? Ha! I'd love to see the day. Then maybe Mum and Dad would become millionaires." Laughed Ron.
"No I'm serious. I saw him, I never thought I'd see him like that." Harry said.
"Well now we know his weakness. If he ever crosses the line with us we can use her against him." Ron grinned. Harry had to too. "So did you ever talk to Hermione?"
"Yeah."
"So what did she say?" Ron was on the edge of his seat.
"She said she didn't want anything to happen between you and her because she if something happened between you two and you guys broke up she didn't want to ruin the friendship." Ron looked disappointed and furious.
"That's crap!" He shouted. Harry laughed.
"I know. That's what I thought." Ron hung his head low. "I'll tell you something else that might cheer you up though." Harry said thinking of Cho. Ron looked up.
"Really what?" Asked Ron inquisitively.
"Well, it might not cheer you up exactly but you'll laugh. Cho and I snogged for an hour in the Room of Requirement." Said Harry beaming. Ron blinked.
"I don't understand you two! You barely talk to each other then all of a sudden you're in a room all alone together snogging.Lucky bugger." Said Ron. Suddenly, somebody entered the portrait.
"Hey guys." Said Sabrina causally. "What's up?"
"Nothing. How was your day?" Harry asked. Ron looked at him and gave him a what-are-you-doing sort of look. Sabrina shifted her weight from one leg to another then concentrated on her shoes.
"Oh it was, okay. Spent the day with Draco." She said with a gulp.
"Did you two have fuuuuun?" Harry asked sounding like a two year old. She walked over to Harry's armchair.
"We kept our cloths on if that's what you mean." She stated sweetly putting her hands on Harry's shoulders.
"That's exactly what I meant. You are free to go." Harry smirked. Sabrina laughed.
"Oh well now that I have your permission." Sabrina hit Harry playfully on the head and walked up the stone steps to the girl's dormitory. Harry smiled.
"What the hell was that?" He asked.
"What?" Harry replied knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"Oh come on, you were so flirting with her! And after just snogging your girlfriend, Harry I must say that I am disappointed in you." He said sarcastically. Harry laughed.
"I wasn't flirting with her. I was just fooling around. Is it bad that I don't want to be the famous, timid Harry Potter that you all know and love?"
"Hey don't talk to me about loving you. That's what Cho's for." Said Ron with a wink. Harry yawned.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed. 'Night!" Harry called out to his best friend as he decended up the stairs to his dormitory.
"I'll be up later. I want to wait for Hermione and see if she'll talk to me." Shouted Ron. Harry shook his head.
He dressed quickly into his pajamas and laid in bed. He closed his eyes and feel into a peaceful sleep. He started dreaming. He had the same dream he had the night of the dance when he and Cho got back together. Everything was the same as the last dream. He saw his parents again, and even the part about with Sabrina. He still couldn't understand it. He woke up the next morning trying to put two and two together. Then suddenly, it clicked. It all made sense. Harry realized that he was the only one left in the dormitory and dressed quickly and ran down the stairs to the common room. There, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Sabrina were all sitting in the big squishy armchairs. They all looked up at his presence.
"Hey Harry. We've been waiting for you. What took you so long?" Asked Ginny moving a stray hair from her ponytail from her face.
"Nothing." Harry turned to Sabrina. "Sabrina, I need you to help me talk to my parents." Harry said suddenly. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny turned to Sabrina who was ghostly pale.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sry it took me so long to update. I've been doing so much shit and have been on vacation and I did have a bit of writer's block but I've got so many ideas for this fan fict right now. By the way there will most likely be a sequel to this fanfict even though I'm not even close to being done with this. I might post it before I end this one kinda like how Angelxd14 is doing hers. (Check her's out! They're the shiznit. I normally never use that word but that's the only word I can think of to describe Forgotten Dreams and The Things We'll Never Say.)
Go Starr for being the first to figure out where my opening quotes are from! I love that CD and it's the funniest shit in the world! Keep updating! It's such boost!

"That's not a good sign. But still, every couple has their arguments." She stated trying to make him feel better.

Then another voice appeared. This one was excited and happy as apposed to the nervous more timid voice that usually occupied his mind.
About an hour later, Harry was heading back to the Gryffindor Common Room hand in hand with Cho. They were both beaming at each other. "That was good." Cho said. "Real good. A lot better than last time."
"Well what did you expect last time? You were crying and it was my first kiss!" Harry exclaimed. He couldn't help smiling. Their snog session lasted long and was a lot more passionate than last December. Cho smiled.
"I guess you're right." She said and giving Harry's hand a squeeze. They stopped walking for a moment. "I'm going this way." She said pointing in the direction Harry assumed where the Ravenclaw common room was located. Harry sighed.
"When am I going to see you again?" He asked. He knew she was just making up for lost time this evening.
"Soon, I promise." She leaned in towards Harry and pressed her lips against his. He put his hands around her waist and Cho gripped his forearm for support. She broke away first. He smiled and hugged her. Cho walked away and kept looking back at Harry trying to get a glimpse of him as he headed to Gryffindor Tower. He uttered the password and entered the common room looking at a very angry Ron. He was steaming.
"What the hell happened? I doubt it took two hours for you to ask Hermione a couple of questions for me!" Snapped Ron.
"Sorry, I got side tracked." Ron looked at Harry. "I saw Sabrina. She was talking to Malfoy in the hallway."
"Oh." Said Ron looking at the floor. "What were they talking about?"
"Me."
"You?"
"Yeah, he asked her why she hung out with me and he said she was siding with the enemy." Said Harry sitting down in a squishy armchair near the roaring fire. Ron sat across from him.
"You? The enemy? He's the one who's father is a Death Eater!" Shouted Ron. "What did Sabrina say? Knowing her she wouldn't take to the easy."
"She didn't. She yelled at him in the middle of the hallway then started to cry."
"She cried?"
"Yeah, but that's not the weird part. Malfoy looked like he actually cared about her. Hermione reckons he might be in love with her." Stated Harry. The thought sent shivers through his body. Ron stared at him.
"You're kidding me! Malfoy in love? Ha! I'd love to see the day. Then maybe Mum and Dad would become millionaires." Laughed Ron.
"No I'm serious. I saw him, I never thought I'd see him like that." Harry said.
"Well now we know his weakness. If he ever crosses the line with us we can use her against him." Ron grinned. Harry had to too. "So did you ever talk to Hermione?"
"Yeah."
"So what did she say?" Ron was on the edge of his seat.
"She said she didn't want anything to happen between you and her because she if something happened between you two and you guys broke up she didn't want to ruin the friendship." Ron looked disappointed and furious.
"That's crap!" He shouted. Harry laughed.
"I know. That's what I thought." Ron hung his head low. "I'll tell you something else that might cheer you up though." Harry said thinking of Cho. Ron looked up.
"Really what?" Asked Ron inquisitively.
"Well, it might not cheer you up exactly but you'll laugh. Cho and I snogged for an hour in the Room of Requirement." Said Harry beaming. Ron blinked.
"I don't understand you two! You barely talk to each other then all of a sudden you're in a room all alone together snogging.Lucky bugger." Said Ron. Suddenly, somebody entered the portrait.
"Hey guys." Said Sabrina causally. "What's up?"
"Nothing. How was your day?" Harry asked. Ron looked at him and gave him a what-are-you-doing sort of look. Sabrina shifted her weight from one leg to another then concentrated on her shoes.
"Oh it was, okay. Spent the day with Draco." She said with a gulp.
"Did you two have fuuuuun?" Harry asked sounding like a two year old. She walked over to Harry's armchair.
"We kept our cloths on if that's what you mean." She stated sweetly putting her hands on Harry's shoulders.
"That's exactly what I meant. You are free to go." Harry smirked. Sabrina laughed.
"Oh well now that I have your permission." Sabrina hit Harry playfully on the head and walked up the stone steps to the girl's dormitory. Harry smiled.
"What the hell was that?" He asked.
"What?" Harry replied knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"Oh come on, you were so flirting with her! And after just snogging your girlfriend, Harry I must say that I am disappointed in you." He said sarcastically. Harry laughed.
"I wasn't flirting with her. I was just fooling around. Is it bad that I don't want to be the famous, timid Harry Potter that you all know and love?"
"Hey don't talk to me about loving you. That's what Cho's for." Said Ron with a wink. Harry yawned.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed. 'Night!" Harry called out to his best friend as he decended up the stairs to his dormitory.
"I'll be up later. I want to wait for Hermione and see if she'll talk to me." Shouted Ron. Harry shook his head.
He dressed quickly into his pajamas and laid in bed. He closed his eyes and feel into a peaceful sleep. He started dreaming. He had the same dream he had the night of the dance when he and Cho got back together. Everything was the same as the last dream. He saw his parents again, and even the part about with Sabrina. He still couldn't understand it. He woke up the next morning trying to put two and two together. Then suddenly, it clicked. It all made sense. Harry realized that he was the only one left in the dormitory and dressed quickly and ran down the stairs to the common room. There, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Sabrina were all sitting in the big squishy armchairs. They all looked up at his presence.
"Hey Harry. We've been waiting for you. What took you so long?" Asked Ginny moving a stray hair from her ponytail from her face.
"Nothing." Harry turned to Sabrina. "Sabrina, I need you to help me talk to my parents." Harry said suddenly. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny turned to Sabrina who was ghostly pale.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sry it took me so long to update. I've been doing so much shit and have been on vacation and I did have a bit of writer's block but I've got so many ideas for this fan fict right now. By the way there will most likely be a sequel to this fanfict even though I'm not even close to being done with this. I might post it before I end this one kinda like how Angelxd14 is doing hers. (Check her's out! They're the shiznit. I normally never use that word but that's the only word I can think of to describe Forgotten Dreams and The Things We'll Never Say.)
Go Starr for being the first to figure out where my opening quotes are from! I love that CD and it's the funniest shit in the world! Keep updating! It's such boost!
