Chapter 2
Last night with Harry had been wonderful. After he had given me the present we had gone to the Astronomy tower where we had fun hugging and kissing. (Nothing nasty). Thinking about it made me happy but I felt terrible because I had forgotten our anniversary ; I had decided to get Harry something to make up for him. I was walking down the Main Alley in Hogsmeade looking for a present but until the moment it had been a very difficult task. If only Natalie had come but nooooo, she had to study with Colin. Yeah right. Since when was studying a synonym for making out.
As I came out of a shop I came across a group of slytherins I recognized as the one of Draco Malfoy. He was, of course, leading the group hand in hand with a pretty girl I recognized as Catherine Nogara. I figured Pansy was history.
Well, well, well, What have we here? -he said setting his gray eyes on me-Potter's girl on her own. Did he dump you weasel?
His friends laughed
No ferret boy he didn't dump me I looked at him determined to show that I was not scared of him.
You are in my way-I continued-Move along
Or else?-he asked with a defiant look
I haven't practiced my boogie-bat hex in ages. Want to try it once more?
He blushed, well he didn't turn exactly red but at least a shade of light pink covered his cheeks. He didn't say anything but walked past me. His girlfriend brushing hardly against me.
Ten points for Ginny. Not every day you got to shut Malfoy up in front of his friends. I smiled as I made it across the crowd to meet Harry at Madam Puddifoot's.
I really like it-he said.
We were sitting at the coffee shop looking at the gift I had gotten for him. It was a magical picture of myself. I had, like in muggle comics, a bubble speech coming out from my mouth. I was saying: Harry, u r my everything.
You look very pretty-he said as he putted the picture away-So, what's been up?
Nothing much, mom wrote. Things at the Order are calm. You-know-who has been very quiet
He was silent for a moment, then he said: That's something to worry about
I could see in his eyes a look of fear but at the same time full of bravery. I think that the thing I like most about Harry was the courage and the determination he had when he had to face those who had hurt his dear ones.
I tried to change the subject because I knew that talking about the Order reminded him of Sirius. So I started talking about quidditch. Now when it gets to quidditch we always argue. He's fan of the Wimbourne Wasp and I support the Appleby Arrows. Anybody who has read Quidditch through the ages knows that these two teams are big rivals, so me an Harry get into big discussions and we don't stop until we get tired or we get angry and do not talk to each other for the next 20 minutes. Apart from this is loads of fun, trust me.
After talking and walking around Hogsemeade we went up to the castle to have dinner with Ron and Hermione. I wasn't feeling hungry at all so I went to the common room, sat on my favorite chair and began reading the latest edition of witch weekly. The article was called House-elfs, our fellow creatures. Its author was anonymous but I had the weird feeling that Hermione was behind it. To tell you the truth, the article was very long and boring. Soon my eyelids began to droop and I began to feel very tired. I went up to my bedroom, without changing flopped on my bed and immediately feel asleep.
It was 3:00 a.m. when I woke up. I tried to fall asleep again but I couldn't. My stomach was growling and I felt very hungry. I think it was time to pay a visit to the house-elfs down at the kitchens. I knew it was very risky but I thought that no one in their right mind would be up at this hour. I had my jeans and sweater on so I just putted on my sneakers and went out of the common room. The castle was very silent and dark. If it weren't for the moonlight passing through the windows I wouldn't have been able to find my way.
I was passing the statue of Nigel, the weirdo, when I heard something move quietly behind me. I turned around and caught a glimpse of Miss Norris disappearing behind a corner. I didn't feel hungry anymore. I felt the need to get to the common room before Filch found me. I walked down the corridor but as soon as I heard Filch footsteps coming my way I turned around and trotted quietly trough the passage that was at my right. I could hear Filch getting closer. I saw a broom-closet. He was getting closer. I didn't have to think twice. I opened the door, got in, and made sure it was safely closed. I turned around, bumped into somebody who grabbed me by the arms. I suppressed as scream. I looked up at the silhouette in the dark. Even in the darkness I recognized the person who I least expected or rather wished not to see at the moment.
A/n: Thanks to the wonderful people who reviwed. Hoped you liked chapter 2. Chapter 3 will be here soon.
