Chapter 6
False Smiles
Draco led Harry away from everyone else.
"Potter, I know I don't exactly like you but I thought I'd give you some advice in my area of expertise."
Harry raised his eyebrows.
"And what would that be?"
"Girls, Potter, obviously something you struggle with." Harry's face went red and he turned away.
"I think you know exactly what I'm talking about don't you. You don't realize it but I've seen you with that Harrington girl and the way you act around her makes me feel sorry for her having to put up with your blushing. I know her type, pretty, intelligent, confident girls and I know that they aren't interested in shy boys. Be forward, make a move Potter. I know you've seen other boys gawping at her."
Harry thought about this. He remembered seeing Ernie and Justin ogling her and it made him feel sick.
"Just keep that in mind, won't you." With that Malfoy sauntered off, with his words still ringing in Harry's ears.
"I feel sorry for her having to put up with your blushing. Be forward Potter. I know you've seen other boys gawping at her."

Ron and Hermione took Olivia into Hogsmeade that day. After emptying their money bags considerably in Honeydukes and Zonko's they escaped the winter chill by entering the Three Broomsticks. Ron went to get the drinks and the two girls found a table and sat down. They talked for a while, mainly about Quidditch, Ron was talking about the day's match.
"Did you see Montague knock Angelina off her broom and Pucey elbow George? I'm glad you're okay though, but you can't expect civilisation from the Slytherins." Olivia laughed along but it was forced laughter. They left and Ron went ahead with Seamus. As they walked they bumped into Pansy Parkinson.
"Well if it isn't Mudblood Granger and Harrington," she spat. "You don't think you're that clever do you Harrington I've seen you around with Draco Malfoy."
"So, what do you want?"
"Even if other boys find you somewhat decent, do you think he does? Why would a Slytherin be interested in a Gryffindor? I've got one warning for you, stay away from him."
"And what if I don't? What's ickle Pansy going to do about it." Olivia had, had enough. Pansy pulled out her wand.
"Incendio!" Olivia ducked and the spell hit the bush behind her setting it ablaze. Olivia sent a hex flying back at Pansy.
"Furnunculus!" Her aim was better then her opponent's and it hit Pansy squarely on the chest causing her face and arms to erupt in boils.
"MISS PARKINSON, MISS GRANGER, MISS HARRINGTON!" Professor McGonnagall came running out of the Three Broomsticks. She drw her own wand and extinguished the flaming bush. "Honestly I cannot believe you three. Duelling in public! Someone could have been seriously hurt. That's 20 points from both Gryffindor and Slytherin plus a detention each. Now Miss Parkinson you'll follow me back to school and find Madam Pomfrey and you all will meet me at 8pm this evening for your detentions. No don't do that you silly girl you'll pop them."
She looked at Pansy who had been trying to cover her swelling face unsuccessfully with her robe and McGonnagall departed with Pansy in tow. Hermione and Olivia feeling seriously disheartened walked slowly back to the castle.
*** The detention went by slowly with Pansy and Olivia throwing deadly glances at each other. They were eventually dismissed and made they separate ways; Pansy down into the dungeons and Olivia and Hermione up to Gryffindor Tower.
Hermione finally got round to asking Olivia about Draco.
"Olivia, you know Draco." Olivia nodded. "Well, how do you feel about him?" She didn't know what to say how did she feel?
"He makes me feel warm and when he looks at me and kisses me it's like we the only people in the world."
"I thought so, but promise me if he hurts you or does anything you'll leave him."
"I promise." Hermione sighed and started on her Charms homework until she remembered something.
"Olivia,"
"Yeah,"
"Has Harry said anything, well unusual to you? He really likes you."
"I like him too, so?" Olivia asked.
"No, he likes you likes you, ever since he saw you at breakfast on the first morning." Olivia couldn't help giggling.
"Harry, Harry likes ME. I always wondered why he blushed."
"Promise you won't tell him I told you, he'd be so embarrassed."
"I promise not to tell him, but I'll talk to him a bit on Friday after practise.
*** Teachers started to pile more homework on the fifth years as the term carried on. Hermione and Olivia were found more often in the morning slumped over piles of books fast asleep. All that Olivia looked forward to was Quidditch. Harry had been thinking about what Malfoy had said again he would "make his move" when he spoke to Olivia after practise. He was unsure but then remembered the look Ernie Macmillan had given her as well as a few other boys since then and became determined.
Friday came and the team played hard even though the wind lashed out at them and the rain blinded the vision. Harry and Olivia sat in the Quidditch changing rooms to talk and Olivia remembered being in there with Draco.
Olivia spoke to him about their lessons and Snape and Hogsmeade. She was going to ask him about his feelings for her, tricky topic for boys who are very particular about that topic.
"Harry," Olivia began.
"Wait," he placed him arm around her shoulder.
"How do you feel about "us" and our relationship together?" Now was Harry's chance he turned towards her placed his hand on her knee and began to kiss her. It wasn't as he had expected probably due to the fact she hadn't returned it. Olivia shrieked and ran out. As she left he heard her crying.
What had he done? Why had he listened to Malfoy? He had ruined his chance and there was nothing he could do about it.
