The ride back from London was cheerful. Harry was thrilled to find out that Madison was a seeker for her Quidditch team. She was already appointed captain for her team and had scouts observing her. Madison's eyes became misty and dreamlike when she talked about Quidditch. The idea that they were both seekers put a new light into Harry's heart. He was feeling something he hadn't felt for a very long time. He liked Madison a lot.
When they arrived back at Mrs. Figgs, they sat on the porch for a while longer. Harry's heart was pounding everytime Madison brushed slightly against him. The sky was clear and the stars seemed to reflect Harry's bright mood.
" So...do you have a girlfriend?" Madison asked suddenly.
The question took Harry by surprise.
" Well...no. There was a girl I liked but...it didn't work out. " he replied.
" Sorry to hear that. " An awkward silence fell between the two of them. Harry squirmed slightly and Madison's hand reached to his. He looked to her and smiled, his heart picking up it's pace. She looked so beautiful, the moon was shining on her aubrun hair and the light was dancing in her eyes. Harry's face turned red as he gathered up his courage. Taking a deep breath he leaned forward and kissed Madison gently. He was relieved when she returned the kiss. When it ended, Madison's cheeks had turned a brilliant shade of pink.
" I'm sorry I don't know what came over me. " Harry said quickly.
Madison pressed a light finger to his lips.
" No need to apologize. " she smiled before pulling Harry in for another kiss. This time the kiss was more passionate. Harry shivered as their tongues danced lightly against eachother, exploring. He was disappointed when they had to stop for air. Both of them were flushed, hearts beating rapidly.
" I should probably get in for the night. " Madison spoke quietly.
Harry nodded. " Probably. "
The two of them stoor up, there gazes locked on eachother. After one last kiss, Madison disappeared behind the door. His heart on wings, Harry broke into a run. Kissing Madison was much better then the first kiss he had ever recieved from Cho Chang, who had been crying at the time. Harry knew that Madison had kissed him again because she liked him. Cho only tried to get close in hopes for sympathy and information on her boyfriend's, Cedric Diggory, death. After releasing his pent up energy, he returned home. Just as he went to open the door, it was flung open and behind it stood Dudley, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.
" You're in trouble now. Mum and dad saw you kissing that girl. " he chided.
" Yeah, so? " Harry replied. " They never made any rule about kissing girls. "
Before Dudley could respond, Uncle Vernon's voice boomed through the house, calling him into the den. Harry sighed as he made his way to stand before the Dursleys'.
" Who is she? " Vernon demanded.
" A friend. " Harry answered simply.
" A friend? Is she one of your kind? " Petunia interjected, a sour look on her face.
Harry hesitated for a moment. If he told them the truth then he was sure they would forbid him from seeing Madison again. He was not about to let that happen.
" No, " he lied. " She's Mrs. Figgs neice alright. She's on holiday with her parents from France and we met on the street. "
" And where were you all day? " Vernon's gaze studied Harry skeptically.
" London. " Harry said plainly. That wasn't a complete lie.
Vernon and Petunia exchanged looks. They looked to Harry reproachfully.
" You be careful boy. " Vernon warned. " You don't need to poison anyone else with your nonsense. "
Harry gave a slight, disgusted nod and walked over of the room. He threw Dudley a nasty smile, pleased to see the foreboding shock on his cousin's face. Harry went to bed happy that night. Happier then he had been in months.
