Warning Harry
Cora trudged back upstairs to Gryffindor tower. Her eyes were shot from crying and she was so tired. It was dark and the light from her wand wasn't helping either. She reached the Fat Lady's painting, said the password and entered. The room was quiet. No one seemed to be around. Trunks were down in the common room for the kids who were leaving in the morning for Christmas. She went to sit down in a chair by the fireplace. She didn't bother to light it up. She heard someone coming down the stairs.
"Lumos," she said quietly.
Her wand lit up to reveal Harry. She looked at her not saying anything. She looked away and swallowed hard. She knew she had to tell him about her father coming, but she didn't know how to talk to him.
"Harry, I need to tell you something, important," she said quietly. "I don't want to hear it," he snapped at her. "No, it's about... my father and um V-V-Voldemort," she said.
He turned around and looked at her.
"What?" he said. "Um, well, my father came to see me today," she told him. "Impossible, he can't apparate here," he hissed. "He's an antimagus, he turns into an owl," she explained. "Oh, so why did he come?" he asked. "To tell me that he's coming back with someone? I don't know, he asked if I was friends with you," she told him. "What did you tell him?" "I said what is it your business and he warned me to stay away from you," she told him. "Well, you won't have to worry about staying away from me," he said getting up. "Wait, Harry," she said reaching her hand out to grab his arm. "What?" "I didn't choose to kiss Malfoy. He kissed me right at the moment you walked up to us. In fact, I turned him down completely. You have to believe me Harry," she pleaded.
He looked at her sternly and then softened his eyes.
"I wanted to kill myself that day," he told her. "Don't be stupid," she said. "Seriously. I thought you were just playing around with me," he explained. "Harry, I didn't want to hurt you," she told him.
He smiled and took her hand in his. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Don't cry," he said softly. "I missed you." "I missed you too," he told her. "I missed your friendship." "I missed everything about you," he said leaning in and kissing her.
She kissed back passionately before pulling away. They didn't speak. Cora stared into his blue eyes and bit her lip, looking down. He lifted her chin and kissed her once more, their bodies glued together. She put her arms around his neck. She leaned into him and he fell back into a chair. She sat on top, facing him, kissing him again. She pulled back and smiled.
"Glad you're back," he said. "I've always been here," she smiled. "Oh! That reminds me, I need to go see something," he told her. "No! Harry!" "What?" he asked. "You can't wander, please just stay here. I'm afraid that my father and Voldemort are going to show up," she cried out. "Why?" "Because he said he won't be alone next time. Ah! We need to go to Dumbledore," she said getting up off him. "Wait, I don't understand?" he said confused. "Look, we need to go to Dumbledore now," she said. "We can't go now it's too late. We'll go in the morning, okay?" he told her grabbing her hand again. "I guess..." she said sinking onto the couch. "Ugh, I'm tired, I've been crying my eyes out all night," she told him. "Because of me?" "Well yes, and because Hermione like yelled at me. She told me I should be in Slytherin with all the kids with Death Eater parents." "Are you serious?" he choked. "Yeah. I was almost going to call her a Mudblood but, those things don't solve anything," she told him. "Yeah, right," he laughed.
He came and sat next to her.
"it's late, I think I'm going to go to bed," she said. "Right," he replied. "Or, I could sleep out here... with you too," she said.
She gave him a mischievous smile. He smirked and leaned in to kiss her. She kissed back allowing him to slip his tongue in. He pushed her back so that he was on top of her. He proceeded to kiss down her neck. She leaned her head back in ecstasy. He stopped and looked at her impishly.
"What?" she asked smirking. "I um... uh... well I love you," he said.
He looked away. She pushed his face back to look at her.
"I love you too," she smiled. "Really?" "Yeah, funny huh?"
He laughed and then kissed her again. He turned onto his side and she faced him. She rested her head against the arm of the couch and fell asleep in the arms of Harry.
