The Love in the Darkness
Chapter 5 Tournaments and moments
By Kitty Tasuki
Playing the odds is what I do best
No one ever takes a rest
Holding a ball in one hand
And candy in the other
Only I know what to do
So if you care to join me
Take you best shot
And take the chance
You might win
Or you might lose
But that's what you get
When you take a chance with luck
So don't complain if you never get you way
For no one is ever listing
For playing the odds is what I do best
Only one can play my game
And win the chance of a lifetime
Arriving back at Hogwarts was such a relief. Seeing the people and walking the endless hallways, sounded like a great plan this year. Everything was still the same. The library still filled with dusty aged old books. The walls still adorned the interesting moving pictures. The great hall still stunning as always. The great hall slowly started to fill up with students arriving back from their summer vacation. Each sitting at their house tables. Among these students were the troublemakers as we all know as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Accalia. Each seated around the table. Their topic of choice for the night was still the Quidditch World Cup. Hermione interrupted the boy's conversation……
" I wonder what we're going to do in potions."
" Oh we are not starting on anything relating to school, already." Harry mentioned.
" Yeh, I totally agree." Ron motioned.
" They have a point, Hermione. We only just arrived." Accalia noted.
" Humph." Hermione said as she flopped down on her chair.
Getting back to the cup, Dumbledore then stood up and started to address the mass of students. He begins to talk about the necessary rules and the normal stuff that's said at the beginning of the year. He then mentioned that there was going to be no more Quidditch for the year. Everyone gasp and started to yell on how ridiculous it was to not have Quidditch this year. Dumbledore motioned for them not to worry for something better was going to happen this year.
The Triwizard Tournament
He briefly explained the basics and what not. He then told them to enjoy a goodnights sleep and shooed them out of the Great Hall.
~~After hearing about the tournament and the rules and what not.~~
" Oh I'm so going to try to get in once Fred and George find a way to become older." Ron said to everyone.
" Yeh I bet you will." Harry said smirking
"I can't believe you have to be 17 or older to enter" Accalia said.
" Yes, but it's for everyone's safety." Hermione reminded them.
Harry and Hermione were walking in front of the group discussing the rules. Ron and Accalia were walking behind them, hand in hand, listening to the two argue.
Approaching the picture, Fred stands and holds the door for them. All stepping in, they grabbed chairs around the fire.
" Geez, I can't believe we're in school already." Accalia remarked.
" I know. I wish summer vacation was longer." Harry commented.
" You know we should be getting to bed soon." Hermione noted.
" Oh Hermione, does it really matter what time we go to bed?" Ron noted.
" Well yes it does because if you don't get a proper nights sleep you don't wake up in the morning on time. Unlike some people I know."
" Well I, hey I'm not a morning person ok?"
"I think we've all figured that out be now, Ron." Harry said.
Standing up, they all headed to their bedrooms.
Tomorrow was going to be a busy day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Accalia awoke to the sound of someone opening the curtains around her bed. She didn't open her eyes because she had a feeling it was Ron. Rolling over, she heard a girl laugh. It was Hermione.
" Haha your so stupid." she said
" And why is that?" Accalia getting off her bed and heading for the dresser.
" Because you thought I was Ron."
" So, one could hope."
" Oh Shut up!"
Accalia laughs and finishes buttoning her robes. Grabbing her bags she heads down the stairs and off to breakfast.
~~~~~~~~~~ Ron's Awakening~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Throwing his robes on, Ron looks over to Harry and laughs. Harry is having some difficult finding his tie.
" Need some help there, chap?" Ron asked.
" Well yes, I seem to have lost my tie." Harry said looking under his pillow.
" You know, I think Accalia said something about it getting mixed up with her laundry and she just left it in her trunk. So you might want to ask her when we're at breakfast."
" Ok ,thanks man"
Holding the door open for Harry. They both head down to the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~ Great Hall~~~~~~~~~
Addie is eating breakfast with Accalia today because Raine is nowhere to be found. Turning to look for Harry and Ron, she sees them enter the great hall. Addie stands up and waves her arms towards them. Laughing, Ron grabs a seat across from Accalia and Harry sits on her right.
" Geez, what took you guys so long?" she asked
" Sorry, Harry couldn't find his tie."
" Speaking of ties…." Harry glances over to Accalia.
" Ah yes, here it is." reaching into her bag.
" Thanks"
Harry having some trouble getting the tie to tie (lol) looks over to Accalia for help. Grabbing the tie, she fixes it for him. Professor Mcgonagall reaches over their heads and places everyone's class lists near the juice. As she is walking away, she looks over to Addie and nods her head.
" What was that all about?" Accalia looked at her.
" Umm, I have no freaking clue, maybe she heard something about Snape and I."
" What I still don't get is how you and him got together." Harry asked.
" They got together because they couldn't get anything from people their own ages. So therefore, they decided to do each other." Ron remarked.
" Ronald Weasly, don't be surprised when you don't wake up tomorrow morning."
At that moment, Snape walked by ever so slowly. He leaned over Addie and whispered in her ear.
" Don't forget the meeting tonight and remember don't pay attention in class. I need an excuse to give you detention." he said.
Accalia hearing every word of that, cringed and then slightly got up from the table. Motioning to Ron and Harry to follow, Addie didn't even noticed them leaving. Accalia walked quickly to find a huge suit of armor. Sitting at the base, Harry and Ron sit on either side of her.
" What did he say to her?"
Accalia then fills them in. After finishing, they both started to shiver. Laughing to herself, Accalia gets up and then heads to class.
~~~~~~~~~~ Ron and Harry's conversation during class. ~~~~~~
" So Harry, do you have a crush on someone?" Ron asked him.
" Well, ummm, yes."
" What? Really? Who?"
" I can't tell you."
" Oh chap, you can tell me anything"
" No, I can't"
" Fine be that way."
~~~~~~~~~~ Harry's Pov~~~~~~~~~~~
God, he would kill me if he found out I have a crush on his girlfriend. I didn't mean to start but after what she did during the years. She has helped everyone out so much. I was thinking about telling him early but I knew he was going to ask her and God. This is driving me crazy. I have to stop thinking about her. Agggggggggggg!
~~~~~~~~~~`Potions- last class of the day~~~~~~~~
" Ms. Mitsuki, you have detention for talking out of turn." Snape said staring at Addie.
" But sir."
"No buts about it, Ms. Mitsuki. You will stay after classes to arrange your detention."
Accalia looked over to Addie and gave her a thumbs up. Harry laughing, pushes a note towards Accalia. Ron looks up from the potion and turns to her. Stuffing the note in her pocket quickly, turns to look at Ron.
" Yes "
" Did I tell you how lovely you are looking today?"
" Yeah, plenty of times." Accalia said, giggling.
" Well I'm just making sure because I don't want you to go unnoticed."
" Oh Ron, will you shut up and quit kissing up so you will get something" Hermione said.
Laughing, Accalia gives Hermione a high five. Heading over to the sink to clean up her cauldron, Accalia reaches into her pocket. Turning her back so no one could come over and read the note, she begins to read it.
Brrring brrrring
Accalia not noticing the bell, keeps on reading the note. Everyone was gone, even Ron. The only people that were there was Addie and Harry. Addie was leaning over Snape's desk discussing detention. Harry was sitting on his desk looking over at Accalia.
This is the note
Dear Accalia,
I need to talk to you alone. It had something to do with you and me. Ummmmm well since tonight is Friday meet me in the common room at 1:30 tonight.
Harry
Flipping around, she saw that Harry was still in the room. Accalia had a pretty good idea what he needed to talk about. She grabbed her bag, stuffed the note in her robes, and walked quickly pasted Harry. Looking concerned, Harry followed her. When he headed around a corner, she was gone. Still looking around, he headed to the tower.
Accalia was on her way to the library. Hoping that Hermione was there to give her advice on this chaos.
So much can happen in one day
Moods can change ever so suddenly
My mind isn't functioning properly
So many different images span across my eyes
You're the only one that keeps my attention
The way your body moves
The sound of your voice
Everything about you is perfect
Maybe it's just me thinking that
But like anyone is noticing
I want to think about something else
But it all keeps coming back to you
These emotions are starting to hurt
My heart it starting to collapse
And my brain is shriveling up
I want to say I love you
But it would never work
For you're with another
And will never be mine
" Gees where the hell is Hermione?" Accalia mumbled herself.
Peering over the rows of books, she spotted Hermione hovering over a book. As she neared her, Accalia heard her clicking her heels together.
" Hiya!"
" Oh god, Accalia. You scared me"
Grabbing a seat, Accalia looked at Hermione with concern. Hermione noticing that something was up.
" Accalia, what's wrong? Ron didn't do anything, did he?
" No, it's not Ron. Its someone else."
" Someone else?"
" Harry."
" Wait, what do you mean? Is Harry hurt, in trouble, dead?"
" Let me explain…."
Accalia filled Hermione in about the letter and how she was going to talk to him tonight about it. She also asked for advice on what to do.
Hermione listened and didn't move at all. They spent at least a couple of hours in the library. Accalia was taking forever getting back to the tower, Harry was starting to wonder if she wasn't planning on coming back………
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the tower~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry was starting to wonder where Accalia was. Pacing the room, Ron walked in on him. Ron noticing that Harry was in deep thought, slowly backed out of the room. Heading down the stairs, Ron was also starting to wonder where Accalia was. Plus Harry was pacing in his room. Did something happen or was he losing his mind. So heading out of the tower, he figured she was probably in the library.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Accalia was walking out of the library when Ron ran into her.
" Hey you dolt. Watch where your going….." Accalia said.
" Sorry I can't help it. It's so beautiful." starts to walk towards Accalia.
Accalia starts to laugh, as Ron walks towards her like a zombie. Ron then runs up to her, picks her up and carries her to the stairs. Accalia shocked he could pick her up, giggled, and start to tell him giddy up horsy. Laughing and starting to lose their balance, Ron puts Accalia down.
" I have a question for you." Ron asked.
" Ok, shoot."
" Do you happen to know why Harry is pacing his room?"
" Nope, why would I? I've been in the library with Hermione."
" You've been in the library since class ended?"
" Yep."
Ron then starting taping on Accalia's head, screaming random nonsense about where the real Accalia had gone. Pushing him off of her head, she opened the door and walked in. Ron laughing hysterically, followed her.
Accalia headed straight to her room. It was at least 6:00 at night and she needed to think some things over.
Lying on her bed, with the curtains closed, she started to ponder things. Harry liked her but she is dating Ron. If Ron finds out about this, it could end things between them and Harry and Ron. But its crazy, but she always had a feeling deep down inside her always liked Harry. Come on he's famous, hot, smart, and he breaks rules. What more can you want. But yet again Ron was funny, nice, cute, and he makes a bad day go away. Maybe she should let this blow over for a while.
Yeh let this blow over……….
Accalia rolled over and went to sleep. Peacefully, she kept muttering,
" Yeh let this blow over."
Time comes in the darkest forms
Hiding behind the everyday clock
Hidden lies and fairy tales
Hearts break and blood pools
Making every day seem like forever
Days drown out the typical activity
The hands on a clock stretch outwards
Counting the time wasting away
Every time the clock ticks
We slowly die
From the moment we are born
We slowly start to fade from this world
It may take years
Maybe days
But there is always time involved
Time hides in the darkest forms
Ticking on by
