Chapter 4- Betrayed, But I Will Always Love You
Disclaimer- I do not own HP. In my dreams I do.. well.. I own Blaze. And ya, have fun peeps.
Harry Potter stirred in his sleep, an uneven, restless sleep. He hadn't been getting any sleep these past few nights after this girl.. Blaze had started to talk.
She had tried out to be a Chaser in his Quidditch Team. Ron had stood there mystified that she hadn't tried out before this. She was bloody brilliant.
He could remember the first thing she had said to him. They had been at breakfast the other morning when she had leaned over to him and asked him to pass the Strawberry Jam with a smirk on her face.
He had been taken aback.
" Did you just..?"
She had nodded and had taken the Jam from his shaking hand.
She had been sitting next to him, and for the first time in his life he had felt.. Right.
She had sighed and laughed.
He had grinned at her.
He had heard her story from Dumbledore at the beginning of this year. She had attracted Voldemort with her powerful magic and beauty. He could see why, she WAS beautiful. Voldemort had killed all of her immediate family, and her Aunts, Uncles, and cousins.. Then he had forced himself on her, hoping she would turn to him in her time of need. But she had been to strong and to smart for his antics to work. She had laughed and apparated at Hogwarts, running straight for Dumbledore. She had stayed with the Weasley's over the summer.. But had not spoken a word.
Harry had met her there, but mostly dismissed her behavior. Until he realized that, she was a lot like him. They had passed notes a couple times and had become friends. Hermione liked her, and so did Ron. Everyone seemed to like her, she was one of those people that you felt comfortable with. But.. Now. He couldn't stop thinking of the Crimson Red Haired girl..
He beauty had captured him too, her Emerald eyes bright with laughter yet dark with hidden emotions. Her long wavy hair seemed to always be perfectly placed as she smiled slightly.
His flash back ended as he heard his alarm go off for him to get ready for Quidditch Practice.
He flashed a grin as he got up and did he daily routine.
He walked out and down the stairs to see a flush Blaze waiting for him.
" Come on slow poke! Well.. You really can't be late because you're the captain and all, but I heard that it's going to be rainy today." She said grabbing his hand as she led him outside into the corridor on the way to the locker room.
" What about Ron..?"
She looked back at him, " He already left."
Harry looked baffled at the idea of Ron being early to Quidditch Practice.
She smiled at him, hell, he loved it when she smiled.
They walked outside into the Quidditch Pitch with their hands still interlocked.
He stopped, stopping her.
She turned to him and cocked her head to the side in confusion.
He glanced down at their hands and smiled.
She blushed.
" Sorry Harry.. We aren't that close yet.."
She tried to pull her hand away but he grasped it tightly.
" Wait, I like it there." Harry said stepping up to her.
She held her breath as he came inches away from her lips.. When had Harry become this forceful? He had always been the kind of guy to be laid back, and let the girls make all the moves.. But now? Harry seemed to be hinting big time about something..
" Harry, are you high or something?" She said, worried about something.
" No, it's just.. Now that I'm getting to know you better.. It's just.. I like you." Harry said kissing her gently, more gently than Draco had ever kissed her. Draco's had always been passionate and over taking, but Harry's were.. Sweet and loving.
They heard someone clear their throat from ahead of them.
Harry broke the kiss and glared at the person who had interrupted them.
" I thought I smelled something rotten.." Harry said with complete honesty.
" Then learn to where Deodorant Potty.." The person snarled.
She had her back to him, wondering if Voldemort could just strike her down right then.
He had caught them kissing..
Of course, she hadn't told anyone about Draco and her. It would be kind of weird a Gryffindor suddenly saying, " Oh.. And Draco and I love each other very much.."
She inaudibly mouthed to Harry, " Is it Malfoy?"
He nodded.
She gave a loud sigh and turned around.
Draco froze in place but added, " Oh.. Snogging your Girlfriend before practice, is this another Gryffindor tradition?"
She looked at him confused.
" Hey asshole, I need to talk to you about the Potions test tomorrow.. See you in a bit, Harry?"
Harry glanced between the two and passionately kissed Blaze before stalking off, this was going to be a good practice.
Blaze wiped off her mouth and turned to Draco.
" I don't know what to say.." She started hidden tears forming in her eyes.
" I have nothing to say, it's just, Blaze- How could you?" Draco asked moving forward to hold her.
That was really the question, how could she? But.. It's not like she acted on Harry, but how could she? Was she starting to have feelings for the black haired seeker? She had had feelings for him during the summer, but they had quickly gone away when she had met Draco. Were they resurfacing? It was possible.
" I didn't. He kissed me." She weakly mumbled into his embrace.
" Do you.." He paused, " Like him?"
She pushed away from her love.
" I don't know Draco, I think.. Maybe, we should take a break for awhile.. Everything is getting to serious." She said averting her crying face from his.
" Blaze, you can't be serious! The other night was so, beautiful and now.. You are just afraid of fucking commitment! That's your problem!" Draco said backing away slightly.
She put her face in her hands.
" I'm not afraid, I just have never had something this serious.. Draco, please, calm down."
He froze at the gentle nature of her words.. This was the part where she would retort at him, but no. He felt like begging, his heart ached for her touch. But he was to proud, he was going to have to end this. He loved her with all of his heart. He could never love another.
Maybe a break from him would make her realize that she needed him as much as he needed her.
Yes, he would make sure of this.
" You had your chance with me Blaze. I just hope you make someone at least half as happy as you made me, for they would be the happiest man in the world. So have fun with your little Potty Boy, sleep with him, kiss him.. But don't try to come back to me when it all comes crashing down on you. I love you and always will but this.. (He pauses) Has become to much… You don't understand love, at 10 people who would do anything to see you happy. You are so nieve. You don't understand that I love you, and because of this I am willing to let you go.." He smiled and kissed her cheek.
She let tears fall down her cheeks.
" I will not, ever, change the password to the back entrance of my room.. If you ever wanted to talk." He whispered as he turned on his heal and left.
She watched his retreating figure walk up the stairs into Hogwarts.
Bringing a hand up to her face, she wiped away her tears.
-The last time she had cried was when her parents had died.
She trudged into the locker room to see Harry and Ron talking in front of her locker.
They stopped their conversation when they saw her and slowly moved away from the locker.
She tapped her wand on her lock to open in, it sprung open revealing her uniform.
She sighed in relief as she starts to undress, not caring about Harry and Ron. She loved Quidditch as much as Harry, they got the same thrill out of it. She loved feeling the Quaffle under her arm, then wind blowing in her hair, the fresh moisture spraying in her face as she flew to the opponent's rings.. Throwing in the Quaffle easily as the roar of the crowd screamed your name in delight.
She pulled her shirt up to see Harry and Ron's eyes bulge.
Harry's throat clamped up causing him to lose his breath, her body was beautiful. She had said during her try out's that she had loved to play Quidditch when she was a kid. Her body showed the results of this workout. Her flat toned abdomen gave way to her formed, round breasts. Her matching silk sheer red bra and thong gave way into his daydreams of her. The front of her thong showed a butterfly gracing her skin. She must be the most beautiful creature on this Earth.
She pulled over her undershirt and started to get her uniform on, blushing slightly from all the attention. Her crimson hair sprawled about her making her even more exotic and attractive.
She looked over at Harry, as Emerald eyes met.
He really wanted her. He loved her personality. He loved her.
He remembered their kiss and smiled.
She finished getting her uniform on, and the boys snapped out of their trance on her.
She shut her locker and made her way to the entry way grabbing her already put out Firebolt02.
Newer model, much faster. Ron walked out in front of her, fanning himself, trying to get under control of his reactions. Harry walked out behind him but her hand found his before he could fully get out of the locker room.
" Harry, I like you to." She said planting a kiss on his cheek.
She threw him a lopsided smile and tossed him his Firebolt.
His insides burst with that act of pure innocence. She liked him, this Goddess liked him.
He grabbed her hand again and led her outside into the rainy weather. Everyone on the team noticed the two's actions and many of the girls sighed with romance and the guys, disappointed that they couldn't talk about her when Harry wasn't around.
" Now guys, we start off the year with the annual 'Slytherin vs. Gryffindor', so we are going to practice long and hard (Many of the guys chuckled) until that day.. So everyone, into the air!"
