As If By Magic
She could hear the birds chirping outside her window. She opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through the curtains of her 4 poster. She blinked a few times and let her eyes adjust to the light. She began a yawn but cut it off halfway through. This was not her bed, these weren't her curtains and that wasn't her window! Where was she? Then she heard someone breathing on the other side of the bed.
She turned slowly, afraid of what she might see. Black hair and a lightning bolt scar. It was only Harry. He looked so peaceful, oh well. She needed to talk to him. She nudged him with her elbow. "Harry, Harry wake up." He groaned and turned on his other side. She was now shaking him. "Harry you oaf! Wake up!"
When he still did not respond she hit him with her pillow. He rolled off the edge of the bed and landed on the floor with a "Thud." She laughed and waited for him to get up. But when he didn't re emerge after a couple of minutes she got worried. She crawled to the edge of the bed and peered over. "AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!" Harry leaped to the bed and began pelting Emily over the head with his pillow.
It turned into a full fledged pillow fight, then, as if by magic, the pillow's burst open. Feathers were everywhere. It was like snow. She held out her hand, looked to the ceiling and closed her eyes. Harry looked at her. She really was beautiful. Slowly, very slowly he inched closer to her.
She was in her own world. It was winter and she was playing in the snow with her brother. Her brother came towards her with a mug of hot chocolate. He handed it to her and she brought it to her mouth. The warm liquid felt good on her chapped lips. She opened her eyes. And at that moment Harry broke the kiss.
The warmth she had imagined from the hot chocolate was actually Harry's lips on hers. A kiss, her first kiss and it had been wonderful. He opened his eyes and they looked at each other. Harry was so happy, he was walking on air. But then Emily began to cry. He pulled her into a hug and asked her what was wrong "Was it the kiss because if it was I won't do it again" he said as she sobbed.
"No Harry it wasn't the kiss, not really. It's just that my family is so awful to me and they never cared for me. Now I have someone who loves me and wants to protect me and it's all just so amazing. Being with you is the most fun I've had in my life. I've also never been happier. You're just wonderful Harry." She resumed her tears and he held her even tighter.
A couple minutes later she wiped her eyes. "We should get ready to go to Hogsmeade." she stood up and was about to leave when "BANG!" The door slammed open. "Harry?" It was Ron. "Hide!" He whispered to her. But there wasn't anyplace for her to hide. He dug between his mattresses and pulled out a large cloak. He threw it over her just as Ron flung open his curtains.
"Woah, what happened here?" He said indicating the feathers. Harry acted as if he had just woken up. "Oh, must have happened when I was sleeping." He added a fake yawn for effect. "Well your up now so let's go to Hogsmeade!" he said. "Let me take a shower first, I reek. I'll meet you at Fortescue's." He said.
"Alright, see you there." Harry watched as Ron left the room and shut the door behind him.
"Phew" He heard her say. But it didn't come from the other side of the bed where she had been. She took off the cloak and it ended up that she had been standing right next to Ron the whole time. " I need to shower" he said. An evil grin spread across her face. She put the cloak back on. "Ha ha very funny now give me back my cloak and my privacy." She sighed from somewhere behind him. She handed him the cloak and left the dorm.
