New Resolutions Chapter Six- World Hates

Leah was sitting in the Great Hall between Harry and Snape on the day she was due to take her O.W.Ls. Harry had stayed up with her to study last night as well.

"Leah, stop worrying. You know everything." Harry said looking at her.

"I can still be nervous, can't I?" she said.

"Leah you'll do fine." Snape said.

"After the tests are over for today, I'm relaxing with Quidditch. Joining me?" she asked Harry.

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute you two. Check with Poppy before your two go off flying. You might not be able to." Snape said.

"When have I ever listened to what someone has told me?" asked Harry with a smirk.

"Never so if you don't listen, I'll give you both detention until you leave this school in your seventh year." Said Snape.

"You would give a Slytherin detention?" asked Leah.

"Yes."

"Well, doesn't that just bit." She said.

"Welcome to the life of a Gryffindor." Harry said.

Leah laughed as Snape glared at him.

"Leah, are you ready to take your O.W.Ls?" asked Dumbledore from the doorway.

"Yes sir." She replied.

"I'll meet you after you do the first test." Harry said.

"Can you go and see Pomfrey rather or not we can fly?" she said standing up.

"Yeah, see you later." He said.

"Wish me luck! See you later Uncle Sev." Leah said.

"Bye. Good luck!" he said.

Leah walked with Dumbledore up to the Transfiguration classroom.

"Miss Malfoy, I take it?" asked a Lady.

"Yes ma'am." Leah said.

"I'm Jade Miller. I'll be giving you your entire tests. I give you three subjects a day. First written then the practical one. We will start today with Charms. Then after lunch I will give you Transfiguration. Then lastly I give you Potions about an hour later. Any questions?"

"No ma'am."

"I'll leave you two. Good luck Miss Malfoy." Dumbledore said.

"Sir, could you tell Harry where I am at?" asked Leah.

"Of course." He said and left.

"Now, Miss Malfoy..."

"Call me Leah please." She said looking at her.

"Okay, Leah, call me Jade."

"Yes ma'am."

"One more thing. Don't call me ma'am. It makes me fell old." She said with a smile.

"Okay." Leah said with a smile.

"Well, if you will seat down Leah we can begin." Jade said.

Jade laid her test in front of her. She looked straight in her eyes.

Leah started to see something. She was sitting in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom beside Harry.

"Welcome. I am your new professor this year, Jade Miller."

The image faded and she saw Jade trying to get her attention.

"Leah?" she asked.

"Oh, sorry, just thinking." she said with a smile. She knew who her new professor was going to be.

"Well, you have two hours to finish." Jade said.

00000000000

"Done already?" Jade asked an hour later.

"Yeah."

"Well, you can stay here if you would like until the next test."

"I'll stay. Harry won't be here until lunch."

"Harry Potter?"

"Yes."

"He did a good job on his test. I graded his," Jade said sitting down.

"Can you tell me what he got?" asked Leah.

"No, not really, but I can tell you he did excellent. He did best in Defense and Potions."

"Potions? Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"He'll be happy." Leah said.

"So you are skipping a year?" asked Jade.

"Yes. I'll be in my brother's year now."

"Draco, right?"

"Yeah, how do you know?" asked Leah.

"I know your parents."

Leah head shot up at her with a bit a fear in her face.

"I was friends with your mother at school but I disagree completely on how the raised the both of you." Said Jade watching her closely.

Leah became uncomfortable and Jade could tell.

"What are you going to be doing the rest of the summer? I heard that you were staying with Sev." She said.

"Yeah, I am staying here with Harry and Draco. Most likely play quidditch and wait until Draco wakes up." She said wondering why she called Snape Sev. Hardly anyone calls him that.

Jade nodded and looked down at the floor.

"So are you the new Defense professor?" asked Leah.

"How do you know? I only agreed this morning." She said.

"I saw you." She said with a smile.

"Saw?"

"I am a seer."

"You should be good in Divination then." Jade said.

"No, that is why I didn't take it. She is such a fraud."

"That would be why most failed then."

"So are you up to teaching? We have had a new professor each year. The only one that was worth anything was Professor Lupin."

"Sounds jinks." Jade said a bit scared.

"We say it is."

"Oh thanks. That really boosted my confidence."

Leah gave a smile.

"Ready for your test?"

"Changing the subject?" asked Leah.

"Yes, before you talk me out of it."

0000000000

"That should do it. I'll see you after lunch." Said Jade.

"Are you going to go down to the Great Hall?" asked Leah.

"Sure."

"You can come with me and Harry."

Jade nodded. The both went out the door and saw Harry waiting for her. He smiled at seeing her.

"Hey Leah." He said.

"Hey. Harry this is Jade Miller."

"Good afternoon ma'am."

"Call me Jade. Ma'am makes me feel old."

"Let's get something to eat. I am starving," said Leah.

They walked down to the Great Hall. Leah liked her new professor. She had light brown hair with a natural blonde highlights, sparkling sea green eyes, and was beautiful all around. She could pass to be in her twenties but if she knew her parents she had to be older. The walked into see Snape and Dumbledore. Snape looked up and smiled at the three of them.

"Hey Leah, Harry, Jade." He said.

"Uncle Sev," said Leah.

"Severus," said Jade.

Snape and Jade keep eye contact for a minute before Jade sat down. Harry and Leah looked at each other before sitting down and eating.

"How did it go this morning?" asked Snape.

"Good, I think." She said.

"I am glad."

"Did you see Pomfrey Harry?" asked Leah.

"Yes and she said yes but would like to give you a check up before you did. Me as well." Harry said.

"Yes, I need to fly."

"Are you trying out for the team?" asked Snape.

"No, girls never make the Slytherin team." She said.

"But you are good."

"Doesn't matter. Where there any girls on the team with you?"

"Yes, actually there was." Jade said.

"You?" asked Harry.

"Yes, chaser."

"And you did Severus?" asked Harry.

"Yes, seeker."

"You played together right?" asked Leah.

"Yes, we were in the same year." Snape said.

"Well, are you done Leah? We got more test to do." Jade said.

"Yeah, I'll see you all later." Leah said.

"I'll meet you after again." Harry said.

"Alright. Give me about five hours. You can read up on you know what." She said.

"Okay."

"Take notes." She called over her shoulder as she left the hall.

"You've been getting along with Leah I see." Dumbledore said.

"Yeah. Being the only two kids here...awake, and been though the same things, you kind of just get along." Harry said.

"Good, I am glad you can get along." He said.

"Is that the only reason?" asked Snape with a smirk.

Harry glared at him. Dumbledore looked between them. Harry was beginning to look like Snape. Maybe a little bit too much.

"I am going to my room. I'll see you later sirs." Harry said.

Snape and Dumbledore nodded as Harry left.

"Severus, can I ask you something?" asked Dumbledore.

"What's that?" asked Severus.

"Don't you think that you should tell him?"

"He'll find out."

"It would be better that you tell him."

"I don't want to tell him. I want to earn his trust first as I said before."

"Okay. Telling him of you and Lily might make it easier when he finds out."

"I don't know..."

"Severus, I know you finding out is hard. All you ever wanted was a son. Having a son and not being told is hard. Now, though, you have him. Don't waste more time without him. Even if he doesn't know that you are his father, send time with him. It's the best way to get trust."

Snape just nodded. "I've got Potions to make for start of term."

"Remember what I told you." Dumbledore said.

Snape left the Great Hall with out replying. He walked past Harry's room but stopped. He stared at the door for a moment.

"Lily."

The door opened and he walked in.

"Hello sir." Harry said looking up from his book.

"Harry, I was wondering if you would like to help me?" asked Snape.

"With what?"

"Some potions for the Hospital Wing."

"Are you sure you want me to help?"

"Harry, you aren't bad in Potions. I just never gave you a chance." Snape said cautiously.

Harry looked down at the floor.

"Sir, why didn't you. Was it because I was a Gryffindor? James' son?" asked Harry looking up at him.

Snape didn't like the hurt look in his eyes. He couldn't tell him he acted like he did was because he thought that he was James' son and not his own. Even though he knew that it wasn't true now, he couldn't change the past.

"Harry, I can't tell you."

"What is so hard that you can't tell me?" snapped Harry.

"There are things that you don't know and won't understand." Snape said trying to keep his voice calm and cover up his surprised face by how much he was starting to act like himself.

"Why can't you tell me?" asked Harry laying down his book.

"You don't need to know. Not yet at least."

"I HATE that. Everyone is telling me that since I could remember. I am too young or don't think I need to know. Sometimes not telling is worse than telling. Last year not telling me about the Prophecy almost killed Sirius if you didn't stop me from going after him. None of that would have happened if someone would have told me about that damn thing and why he was trying to get me to go there." Harry yelled jumping up.

"Alright, Harry, you want to know, I'll tell you. I acted the way I did because you reminded me of something I lost." Snape said.

Harry didn't want look him in the eyes. He didn't like that Snape. Green eyes meet black ones and kept contact until Harry looked away.

"What do I remind you of?" whispered Harry.

"Lily." Snape said quietly.

Harry's head turned to him. Harry opened his mouth but nothing came out. Millions of things were running though his mind. He watched Snape leave the room. He laid down on the couch, confused.

"What does my mother have to do with anything." He asked him aloud.

000000000

"Well, Leah, you are done." Jade said.

"Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow Jade." Leah said.

"Tomorrow."

Leah stepped out of the room to find Harry nowhere. She looked around but didn't see him. She walked down to the dungeons, into her room, and though to Harry's.

"There you are. You didn't come up." She said.

"I lost track of time." Harry said not even looking at her.

"Harry? What's wrong?"

"Its nothing. You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

"Why do you even care?" shot Harry. His temper was short after his talk with Snape. "You don't give a damn about me."

He looked up to see Leah hurt face. He just realized what he had said. For some reason, he hated seeing her like that.

"Leah..."

"Save it Harry. Why I care? Why I give a damn? I thought we were friends and friends care for each other. I care about you more than a friend would Harry. I have ever since my first year here. I knew that you weren't just the boy-who-lived." Leah said with tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"Leah..."

"I am not done yet. I watched you in the Triwizard Tournament. You were the youngest one in it and won among other things you had to deal with. You didn't know me then but I started to give a damn about you long before you knew me. Not because you were famous but because you were Harry, just Harry and that you've been though all parts of hell. And if you haven't realized it yet, I have a crush on you. So know all the facts before you assume what you don't know." She said with tons of emotion.

She looked up at Harry and met his eyes and got a powerful vision.

"I might give a damn about you but you don't me so why should I even give you time?" she asked standing in the pouring rain.

"Because I do care about you Leah...I love you." Harry said.

"Don't lie."

"If I was lying, would I do this." He said.

She saw him pull her into a deep, passionate kiss.

Leah opened her eyes to see Harry looking at her. She was leaning against the wall so she wouldn't fall.

"Leah, are you okay?" Harry asked walking toward her.

"Leave me alone Harry. Just leave me alone." She said and went though the door.

"Great, I've done missed up two things all in one day! Does the world just hate me or what?" Harry said as he fell back on the couch.
