I lay on my bed, my drapes drawn, tracing the cracks in the ceiling with
tired eyes. I was thinking about Malfoy. His reaction to Parvati. The look
of disgust etched on his face as he coolly glanced at her. Why had he
looked at her like that, and then glanced at me, with what I can only
imagine as sympathy. I could feel the same burning irritation irrupt in the
pit of my stomach, at his smug, know-it-all expression. Who did he think he
was?
A loud creak as someone pushed the door open, failing his or her obviously
subtle approach with a whispered curse. Woke me from my deep musings.
Irritated I ripped my drapes open, glaring at Parvati's startled face.
However, annoyed I was I could feel my features melt in to a weak smile, at
her look of vulnerability, from my scorching glare.
"Sorry Parvati you startled me" I mumbled feebly.
"Hey, don't worry! So much for my sneaky, attempt at surprising you, I
though you'd be pleased to see me!" I could see a flicker of hurt cross her
face.
"Anyway I'm here now...." She smiled cheekily at me her eyes twinkled with
mischief. She climbed up on to my bed next door to me. Smiling she moved
closer, I could feel her hot breath tickling my face, she leaned over and
brushed her succulent lips across my mouth. I watched her eyelids flutter
closed. She pulled me in deeply, her hands, crawled up to my hair, I could
feel her tangling her fingers through my already dishevelled appearance.
I felt her gently, teasingly push her tongue against my closed lips.
Willing me to allow her to explore my mouth. I resisted, and pulled away.
Her eyelids opened. Avoiding her gaze I kept my eyes lowered watching my
hands writhe.
"Harry, Harry come on... Is there something wrong?" she placed her hand
under my chin, forcing me to tilt my head up to meet her inquiring, gaze.
"..No, I'm sorry Parvati, I really am, I just don't..." I muttered under my
breath.
"Don't worry Harry, I'm sure we can find something that will interest you."
She smiled at me saucily. Her fingers slowly traced down to my Gryffindor
tie. Clutching on to she slowly pulled me towards her, biting her lip
kinkily. With skilled dainty fingers she undid my tie throwing it to the
floor, ignoring my subtle movements, to edge from her firm grip. Moving on
to my shirt she excitedly, began undoing my buttons, I could feel her hands
trembling. I could tell she was having difficulty, sensing that any minute
she was going to loose patience and end up ripping my shirt off me. Gently
I tried to push Parvati off my now naked torso.
"Parvati...Par...STOP!" I yelped as her searching gaze lowered to my
trousers, as her fingers started to grope at my belt. Shocked by my sudden
outburst, she glanced up. One look at my blazing eyes, Parvati crawled from
straddling me.
""Parvati I'm sorry, I'm just not in the mood."
"Not in the mood...the mood? Harry since when has there ever needed to be a
mood for a girlfriend to show her boyfriend how much she loves him?
Hmmm...Does she?" Her voice was rising "Answer me Harry. I want to know
where this relationship is going? Where...where? How can we call this a
relationship?" She added as an after thought almost to herself. Before I
knew it, tears began to stream down her face, causing her to look almost
angelic.
"Parvati...come on you think our relationship could be affected by one
night? Parvati, I would have thought it would run deeper than that...For
God's sake..." I didn't have time to finish my sentence. Parvati had left,
slamming the door behind her. Her stricken, hurt face carved itself in to
my mind.
Realising I should go after her, I leapt down the stairs, two at a time,
wondering where she would have gone. The Gryffindor common room was empty;
I glanced at my muggle watch. It was nearly dinner, everyone would be
assembling in the great hall. Running from the common room, I sprinted down
to the great hall, not stopping to pause for breath. Drawing up outside the
grand hall, I leaned against one of the walls, catching my breath. I could
feel myself visibly trembling.
Why, why? I thought to myself, did I have to be such an insensitive idiot.
Breathing in deeply, I turned and hurried in to the great hall. It didn't
take long to scan the Gryffindor table, laughter and jokes, reverberated,
echoing around the hall.
Panicking, I stumbled over to the Gryffindor table, finding, Seamus and
Neville, I casually asked if either of them had seen Parvati, looking at me
slyly, they commented crudely, on how surely, my heart would be able to
seek her. They collapsed with laughter. Fighting the urge to hex them, I
took their answer for a no. One more I scanned the table, no sign of her,
and come to think of it there was no sign of Lavender either. Ignoring,
Neville and Seamus' cackling I exited the hall; where would she be? Think
Harry for God's sake.
Of course that's where she's sure to be. I mused to myself, what a fool. I
quickly, took off sprinting from the dying laughter of the hall. I hurried
to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. On coming closer to the haunted residence, I
slowed to a walk, listening out for any signs of Parvati. Creeping closer,
I slowly turned the door handle, the door whined nosily as it opened.
Blinking through the gloom I uttered an incantation quietly under my
breath, immediately, the hazy gloom was illuminated. I blinked, the
brightness, temporarily blinding me.
Opening my eyes, I wasn't prepared for the shock that hit me,
"..Parvati...L....Lav....Lavender?"
The two girls were stood in the centre of the bathroom, sharing a passionate embrace, while Myrtle sat on top of a cubicle dumbfounded at what she was seeing.
I turned and ran. I ran until my chest hurt with a numbing pain, until I thought my lungs would burst from the lack of oxygen. All I concentrated on was putting as much distance between me and that moaning myrtle's bathroom as possible. Only stopping when I knew I couldn't be any farther from Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, I collapsed outside, heaving in deep breaths of air, feeling as if I had just been plunged in to a whirl pool of emotions.
