Author's Note: Yah no note. I'm embarrassed to write after like 10 million days haha.
Sweet Destiny
**Remember**
That was a wrong move. With the mean look that Ron
shot at Harry, it was obvious that Ron did not want to be reminded that such a
girl existed without him.
Harry began walking around and around the 7th floor until he entered the Room of Requirement. Inside he saw a girl with shiny black hair sitting with her back to the door, looking through the window. It looked like she was crying. It was odd to Harry that he was just thinking of the 2 most important girls in his life, and he thought he hurt both of them, but neither of them showed it with tears. This girl didn't notice Harry come in. She looked so peaceful, but hurt. Walking toward her, he soothingly asked
"Are you alright?"
The girl flinched and gasped, then she brushed her hair out of her face and wiped her tears away.
"Oh, this? Y-ya. Of course. I'm f-fine."
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
She turned to see who it was and jumped.
"H-Harry Potter!! Hehe..it's you!! Oh my God."
"Oh...you know me?"
"Well I think your story is facinating. Ever since I was 3 I knew wanted to meet you. But this is the first time I've actually talked to you! Maybe because I'm a 4th year and your a 6th. I've seen you at the Tri-Wiz Tourny and I've talked about you with my friends. Not gossip or bad things of course!"
"Oh..um, thank you. So, what's your name?"
"Oh. My name is Taryn."
She smiled and tilted her head to the side. She was pretty. Not like Cho who was the typical asian girl. No Taryn was pretty and different. No one would ever see the world through her eyes. Her world was magical. Something beyond what Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade could bring. It seemed lke she was the kind of girl, who always smiled and always tried to help and reassure people when they are troubled. Her face was light but her skin was a tannish color. She was petite and short. Her hair was silky smooth and thick. She didn't wear makeup gunk on her face and her eyebrows were naturally shaped nicely. And her voice sounded real and sweet.
"Hello Taryn. :] So tell me, what's up. Its 2 days until the Masqurade."
"Actually, it's about the Masqurade. I'm torn in 2."
"Oh, you've been charming boys and can't decide who to pick? :]"
"No! I didn't charm either hehe. Anyway, I've saved my first kiss for a guy who I feel like is my best friend but he doesn't know that. I've been in love with him for like 6 years and he knows I think. Now I gave up on him and have a huge crush on Daryl who I met this year and he has so many of the same interests as me. For a while I didn't even notice him, but he was all like 'I saw you at the library last night', and I didn't even know his name. And that was in like the 1st week of school. He's not the type of guy you would expect to like me, a girl who doesn't show any sign of sexiness, all just kute and happy, whereas he is uber hott. But now, Cristian, the boy I've loved since forever is aw, 'Can you help me with my potions', making excuses to spend time with me. When he's in 6th year and I'm not even advanced enough. Daryl is in 5th year by the way."
"Oh. Wow, they seem like 2 lucky boys. You've saved your first kiss because he was special. I wish I'd have done that...And Daryl must be kewl..."
"Oh, I'm making things seem specialer than it is. But I guess it's just how I see things. They both are special to me. But they both asked me to the ball. I can't believe it?"
"I can. You're a wonderful person. I can see why they both would like you. See. You're pretty, smart, sweet, and helpful. I can imagine you in any house and making friends in all. You have the special touch that makes you connect with everyone."
This made Taryn blush.
"What makes you think that Harry? You just met me like today. You seem that way though--"
"Oh I'm really not."
"Well, it's nice to hear those things and think that someone in the world can see things like that."
"You are like that. I can feel it. You do have that special touch. You connected with me and helped me realize my own situation without even trying. We're in the same type of pit. Except mine's almost the opposite."
"Oh what's your pit about?"
"I think I'm in love with Hermione, but I also have Ginny, who I love also. I'm not sure how I love either of them, as a sister or a girl."
"Oh I see. Ginny is really nice. ^__^ Anyways, go on."
"Hermione is with my bestfriend, Ron, but is going to the Masquerade with Malfoy. One night Hermione was feeling down, so I kissed her. And I'm not sure if I meant to. But it felt right to me. But she doesn't feel that way about me. And Ginny and I have been having problems that I'm not sure about. We're not going to the ball together. And I think she's noticed something going on between me and Hermione. I don't see how, but we've been distant."
"I don't exactly know what to say. It seems like you love both of them, but you don't have either. But what I think is that Ginny loves you, whether she shows it or not, there's always been a connection between you two. We talked about you guys a few times. I think that deep down, she's just running away waiting for you to catch her. That's what I did for Cris, but Daryl caught me first. ^__^ Except I didn't run, I slipped. =P"
Harry closed his eyes and meditated for a while. Taryn really helped him see from other angles of his problem. Deep down inside of him, he loved them all, but the girl he really wanted, fell and now he needs to dive in and bring her ashore. This girl had been drowning for a while and his eyes just slid past it. While bubbles formed from her air, he chased the girl who didn't shred the tear.
"Listen I have to go. You've been great! Thanks alot! I need to catch my girl before the Masqurade!!"
"Luck! Talk to ya later then! Thankies!"
Harry left the room with a last wave and a smile. Taryn said to herself, "I just realized who I love most too."
