Invisibility Capes
It was dark out now and Harry and Cora were up in his dormitory talking. Harry had his invisibility cape out on the bed.
"Malfoy can't see me with this on, it's an i-n-v-i-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-y cape," he said slowly.
"But how comes it turns you invisible. It looks like I would just see a cloak," she said not understanding.
"Just...you'll see," he told her laughing.
"What?"
"Nothing," he said looking down.
They got up and Harry put the cape on.
"You know, I don't know how I ever could have gotten along with out you. It's so weird how I met you two years ago and now we're at the same school and everything..." Cora said and turned around to find no one.
"Harry?"
She looked around.
"Harry!" she yelled.
"Shh Cora, before we get out there. We cannot let Malfoy see that I'm coming with you," he told her from no where.
"Where are you?" she asked reaching her hand out at thin air.
Harry rolled his eyes under his cloak and took it off his head so that the only thing you could see is his head floating. She gasped.
"Oh!" she smiled.
He shook his head and they continued out of the common room to the hall. They went down to the grand staircase. Draco was already there, twiddling his thumbs. He saw Cora and looked at her with a apologetic face.
"Cora, you came," he said.
"Yeah, I did," she told him.
"Look, I'm really sorry about earlier. I was just really mad," he said.
"Don't worry about it."
"Look, I was wondering if you'd give me another chance and such," he asked her.
"What?"
"Let me make it up to you, since I was just horrible today," he told her.
"Um, okay."
He put his hand on her arm.
"How about first Hogsmeade weekend, you go with me and we'll go wherever you want. I'll get you whatever too," he said.
"That sounds great!" she said suddenly excited.
He smiled. Harry groaned from underneath. Malfoy turned to look at him.
"Did you hear that?" he asked.
"Hear what?"
"That groan."
"Um, no. Are you imagining things?"
"I don't imagine things," he said objectively.
"Erm, right, um so I'll see you later," Cora said starting to go up the steps.
"Wait, Cora," he yelled going up after her.
She spun around to face Draco. He took her hand and looked at her, grey-blue eyes shining up to her green ones.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Nothing," he told her smiling.
He then kissed her lightly on the cheek and walked away. Cora turned and went up the steps next to Harry, or she thought was. He took the cloak off.
"Ew, what a git," he said.
"Git? Yeah, but he's at least nice. Way to go with that groan and everything," she said.
They reached the Fat Lady's Portrait and before Cora could say the password Harry grabbed her.
"Wait! Let's go down and see Hagrid. Do you know who he is?" he asked her.
"Of course I know who he is, old friend," she smiled.
"Right. Here get under here with me," he said.
"What?"
"Just get under the cloak, it can fit both of us," Harry told her.
She got under the dark, cape and they went out down to Hagrid's house. The moon was out but under the cloak with Harry, she was sort of scared. She grasped his hand and they proceeded to his doorstep. Inside you could hear Hagrid rustling around. They knocked on the door. He opened it with a lantern in hand.
"Who's there?" he asked looking around.
"We are," Harry told him taking the cape off.
Cora let go of Harry's hand but now her hand was cold. Harry looked at her and back at Hagrid.
"You two know yeh ain't sposta be 'round here at night," he said letting them in.
"I know Hagrid but I was thinking, Cora should tell you something," Harry said slowly.
"Oh yeh did? What's it then?"
"Um well I'm not exactly sure?" she said confused.
"You know about your father..."
"Oh, well um you knew him right?" she asked Hagrid.
"Oh yes, very nice man, really nice," he said smiling.
"Oh, very nice? He's a death eater now," she informed him.
"A what?"
"A death eater."
"Well how'd that come?"
"I don't know, but he left us. You know I don't really want to talk about it, I'm leaving," she said and got up.
"Wait Cora," Harry yelled getting up.
Cora was running back up to the Castle. Harry ran to catch up. He put his arms around her in a almost hug.
"Get off! I'm sick of having to talk about it!" she yelled at him, pushing him away.
"I'm sorry but Hagrid should know," he told her softly.
"No! He has no right. I'm sick of this. I'm done telling people that my dad is a complete disgrace okay!" she yelled.
"Cora..."
"No!"
She continued up the path and Harry ran up to her again. "Cora, please. I'm sorry," he said. "I just want to go to sleep," she told him feeling the tears well up.
He looked at her and nodded. He then grabbed her and kissed her. Surprisingly she kissed back.
"Are you still going to be mad at me?" he asked after he pulled away. "No, I 'spose not," she said taking his hand. "Good, because if you would have went in without this cape, you would have been dead," he told her throwing the cape over them.
She laughed and walked with him, not knowing what to feel, how to feel. She didn't like him... Did she?
