Chapter 36-Steady Bliss at Hogwarts

"Would you mind giving this to Harry" Alana said as she walked into McGonagall's office on Monday morning.

"Sure" Ron said taking a piece of parchment from her. "Have a fun detention," Ron said.

"I want to be at breakfast, I'm starving" Alana said as she started grading first year exams.

"You'll live" Ron said walking into the great hall.

"Morning" Hermonine said as Harry started to eat.

"Alana told me to give this to you" Ron said handing him the rolled up parchment.

"Thanks" Harry said smiling.

"Are you guys dating?" Ginny asked knowing the answer.

"I asked her out at Hogsmade a week ago" Harry said as the table cheered.

"Well open the letter," Seamus said jokingly.

"That's why you don't have a girlfriend" Dean said.

"It's obviously private" Ginny said as Harry laughed.

"Good Morning all" Professor Dumbledore said as the room was silent.

"I wanted to remind everyone that the first Quidditch match will be on Sunday, October 29th. Good luck Gryffindor and Slytherin" Professor McGonagall said.

"Well captain when do we practice?" Ron asked.

"I scheduled, a small one tonight, tomorrow night, Thursday night, and Saturday night," Harry said trying to read Alana's letter.

"Let him read the letter" Hermonine said hitting on Ron his shoulder.

Harry opened the letter and started to read:

" Dear Harry

How are you? I'm just here thinking about you. The thought of you in my arms right now sounds so good to me. Other wise, I'm fine. Just four more days and I can eat breakfast at the great hall again. I heard the first Quidditch match is going to be on Sunday. I'm so excited; I never was interested in the game in the states. I guess I have some inspiration. Seamus asked me if I wanted to paint my face with the Gryffindor colors (no way). I think a sign that says, "Let's go Gryffindor" is enough, and my boyfriend has enough to worry about than seeing his girl make a fool of herself. Are you nervous, since this is your first game as captain? You shouldn't be, I think we're going to win  I should get back to grading McGonagall's first year exams. But I wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. See you in lunch.

Alana xo"

Harry smiled as the bell rang for the first class. "I'll let Alana know you got her note" Hermonine said as she walked upstairs.

"What did it say?" Ron asked.

"She was talking about the Quidditch match on Sunday, and just telling me that she was thinking of me" Harry said slightly blushing as they entered History of magic.

"How cute" Ron said sarcastically as Harry hit up on the back of his head.

"You wouldn't say that if Hermonine did that for you" Harry said taking out a piece of parchment.

"Your boyfriend got your letter" Hermonine said as she hit Alana. "Why didn't you tell me?" she said faking to be hurt.

"It just happened last week, Hermonine these past few days have been incredible. I mean sometimes we just sit in the common room when everyone is asleep and just talk. We hold hands" Alana started to say.

"Hold each other, make out" Hermonine finished.

"Hermonine!" Alana said slightly blushing.

"Well it would be weird if you guys didn't" Hermonine said as Cho walked in. "Does Cho know you guys are dating?" Hermonine asked.

"Who cares" Alana said raising her eyebrow. "I'll be civil towards her since she's dating a good friend of mine and Harry asked me too in a very nice way" Alana said smiling.

"Oh should I even ask, how Harry convinced you not to get into more catfights with her?" Hermonine said as Alana started to remember.

"How was dance rehearsal?" Harry asked as Alana walked out of the girl's dormitory and into the common room.

"Wasn't bad, I didn't feel like I did last week, there was a debate though about whether or not Michael should do a part with me in Padma's dance." Alana said sitting on Harry's lap.

"Why?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.

"Well because of Cho, and he seems to like that girl for some reason, I have no clue" Alana said as Harry kissed her cheek.

"Hey your better than that" Harry said as Alana turned around to face him still on his lap.

"But, Harry, you don't understand cause your not a girl" Alana said as she felt Harry's hands slowly go under her shirt.

"She's jealous of you, part of that is because we're together, your popular, the girls admire you, and your not a snob" Harry said as Alana smiled.

"I was trying to be nice to her for Mike's sake. Girls like that make me so mad there's only one way to deal with them" Alana said as Harry kissed her.

"What makes you say that" Harry asked.

"Well when I moved in with the Deerr's my first few years of school was tough. Girls hated me. I really thought there was something wrong with me. But it was everything you said. It made me really insecure and well you know that I used to take that potion to escape feeling that way" Alana said sadly looking down.

"I know, Alana you just have to ignore her, the more she tries to bother you the more other people take notice, including Michael. Try to be civil, for real this time" Harry said, as Alana was about to protest.

"Do it for me" he added as he started to kiss her.

"Harry, that girl" Alana began to say through a kiss.

"Ignore that girl" Harry said as he kissed her cheek and kissed her neck.

"Whoa" Alana said as she gasped.

"Your better than she is" Harry said as he kissed her again.

"Hmm, ok I'll be good" Alana said as Harry smiled.

"That's my girl" Harry said as Alana kissed him.

"Ms.Deerr, would you like to come back to the class" McGonagall said as a few students laughed.

"I'm sorry" Alana said.

"Well I think we all deserve a break" Professor Binns said.

"That's for sure," Ron said as Harry folded a piece of parchment.

"Is that a response note?" Ron asked as they were walking in the hallway.

"Yes" Harry said noticing that McGonagall's transfiguration class was leaving.

"Your going to notice that McGonagall let's student's out early from class or doesn't give an assignment when there is a Quidditch game in a few days" Hermonine said.

"They're should be one every week" Alana joked as she spotted Ron and Harry.

Alana smiled at Harry and walked faster. "Hey" Alana said giving Harry a quick kiss.

"Thank you for the letter" Harry said giving her his letter.

"Your welcome" Alana said as Ron and Hermonine watched.

"Got out of class early" Harry said.

"Yea I'll probably head to the common room to get my workout gear for Lupin's class" Alana said.

"I'm heading to the library," Hermonine said while Ron watched her walk away. Ron walked back into the classroom.

"I'll walk you half way," Harry said taking Alana's hand. "That was very sweet of you to do, writing that note," he said.

"Well, I wasn't going to actually talk to you till lunch because of detention" Alana began to say as Harry led her near a corner.

"You're seeing me now" Harry said as Alana put her arms around his neck. Alana looked around the hallway and kissed him.

"I missed you," she said leaning against the wall. Harry nodded as he pushed her chin up and kissed her.

"I can't stop thinking about you" Harry said as they took a break from kissing.

Alana nodded and said, "I know what you mean, you make me lose focus" She hit Harry's shoulder.

"That's a boyfriends job," Harry said pulling her closer.

"How long is your break" Alana said.

"Probably over by now" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"Get back to class" she said about to walk away.

"Ok, wait no good bye kiss" Harry said.

"Oh lord I'm seeing you in two classes today" Alana said as she pulled his face towards hers.

"I need energy to deal with the rest of that class" Harry said she laughed. Alana smiled as they kissed passionately.

"Are you energized" Alana asked as Harry broke the kiss.

"Um, not quite I think I may need to hold you as well," Harry said pulling Alana closer as they held each other.

"Now I wish you didn't have to go back," Alana moaned as she laid her head on Harry's chest.

"I know" Harry said as they rocked back and forth.

Alana leaned against the wall and said, "Ok for real, maybe you should get back". Harry smiled as his right index finger started to stroke Alana's cheek.

"Harry don't come on, you could get in trouble" Alana said as Harry put his arms around her waist.

"Is shortie getting mad at me?" Harry laughed as Alana tried to pull away.

"Ha ha" Alana said as Harry pulled her closer.

"Don't be mad at me shortie," Harry said faking innocence. Alana sighed and kissed him.

"Excuse me" Lupin said as Harry and Alana turned around. Harry and Alana moved away from each other.

"I think your break was over and I believe that class was over for you" Lupin said annoyed. Alana looked at Harry and then at Lupin and walked away.

"We'll talk about this later" Lupin said to Harry as he walked back into the classroom.

"How embarrassing" Alana thought as she ran into the common room. "We're in for it today" Alana said remembering the look Lupin had on his face. "He looked disappointed" she thought as she sat down. "Harry's note" Alana said out loud as she started to open it.

"Hi there, I was surprised and happy to get that note from you. I'm in history of magic and wishing I could be in a class with you right now. Well not in class exactly, I just want to be in the common room, holding you, kissing you. Being around you is intoxicating, Alana. Thank you for not joining Seamus, I can't imagine my girlfriend in Gryffindor colors on her pretty face. I am nervous about the game on Sunday, I just hope I'm a good captain. I'm glad I inspire you to like Quidditch; we can play after the game if you want (Don't worry I'll teach you how to play). I'm thinking about you too, see you in charms.

Harry xo

Alana smiled as she folded the letter up and put it in her bag.

"Lupin caught you" Ron said as him and Harry left class an hour later.

"Yea, I know we're in for it" Harry said as Professsor Binns floated by.

"Your lucky you were able to sneak back into class." Ron said as he watched Binns. "It is funny, just don't make out with your girlfriend in charms?" Ron added.

"We won't" Harry said sarcastically as they entered the classroom.

"We have a problem, Padma and Pavarti got into an argument" Justin said as Alana walked towards the classroom.

"About what?" Alana asked.

"The dance, Padma wants to show the dance Thursday night, Pavarti wants to do it next week" Justin said.

"Well there's a dueling club meeting, choir club is doing a performance. It is better to do it this week" Alana said.

"You know Pavarti is stubborn, but I think it's just sibling rivalry. The people who are in Padma's part know their part. Pavarti's is a little rusty" Justin said as Alana nodded.

"Oh I see, well I'll talk to her" Alana said as the bell rang.

"Dammit" Justin said as they ran into the classroom.

"Good" Professor Flitwick began to say as Alana and Justin ran to desk near Seamus and Dean. "Morning class" Flitwick finished. The class laughed as Alana and Justin pretended not to notice.

Harry turned around and smiled at Alana. Alana waved as Harry turned around.

"I heard you guys are dating, it's about time" Justin said.

"Thanks" Alana said. "I was about to place a bet with Michael on how many more weeks will it take Harry to ask you out. You guys look good together" Justin added.

"Thank you, I feel good" Alana said as classed started.

Alana passed a note to Pavarti who was sitting opposite from her.

"Read it" Alana said. Pavarti nodded and took the note.

"Let's cross our fingers" Justin said.

"Well let's get into group of four to practice what we learned this semester" Flitwick said as Alana looked up and nodded.

"You'll see your boyfriend at lunch" Seamus said as Alana and Justin took a seat next to them.

"I know that, I have to talk to Pavarti for a sec" Alana said walking away.

"Alana I know your trying to be neutral, but you don't know my sister. She's trying to show off" Pavarti said.

"Ok so what if she is, I'll help you teach your part we'll review it tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday. It's not worth it to be mad at your sis, well not over this" Alana said giving her a pat on the shoulder.

"I don't know" Pavarti began to say.

"Me and Justin we'll help you. Just tell the girls in your part to be there not Padma's part. That might help them learn better" Alana said.

"Ok, how about after dinner" Padma said.

"Sounds good, don't worry we'll make progress" Alana said walking back to her group.

"Focus please Neville" Hermonine said rolling her eyes.

"I'm trying I did the charm" Neville said as Harry watched Alana talking to Dean.

"Focus man" Ron said as Harry looked at him.

"I am focused" Harry said opening his textbook.

"Yea on your girlfriend across the room" Ron said with a laugh.

"Ok, let's practice the Hoover charm" Harry said realizing Ron was right. The class continued to practice with Professor Flitwick walking over to Alana's group to ask Seamus if he would like to tell the class what was so humorous.

"How can you forget that charm" Ron said to Hermonine.

"It's possible for people to forget" Hermonine said annoyed.

"But not you" Ron said as wizard wireless started to play out the window.

"Alana" Pavarti said realizing it was the song she was using for her dance.

"I know" Alana said as she saw Pavarti dancing to the music.

Alana started to laugh as she danced over to Pavarti's direction.

"The both of you are crazy" Justin said as a few students turned around. Seamus and Dean started to laugh.

"Ah, I forgot" Alana said trying to finish a step. Harry turned around and saw his girlfriend and Pavarti reviewing a dance step.

"Ladies" Flitwick said.

"Sorry" Alana said as she rushed over to her group. Harry laughed as Alana turned around.

"It's not funny" Alana whispered smiling. Harry nodded and turned around to his group.

"Next week review chapter 30, I might give a quiz on it" Flitwick said as the bell rang. "Ms.Deerr, Mr.Finchey, when is the dance club going to perform again" Flitwick asked. "Oh we're not exactly sure, it might be next week, or this Thursday depending on how the next two rehearsals go" Justin said as Alana nodded.

"I always look forward to them, best of luck" Flitwick said happily as he walked back to his desk.

"I didn't know he was a fan," Alana said as she felt two hands slide on her waist.

"Everyone is a fan," Harry said coming behind her. Justin smiled as Alana started to blush.

"Hey Harry" Justin said.

"What's up" Harry said.

"I'll see you at rehearsal "Justin said as he walked away.

"You have rehearsal tonight" Harry asked.

"Yea, I'm sorry, there's a crisis with Padma and Pavarti and I told her I'll help her" Alana began to say.

"Why are you sorry" Harry said as they started to walk.

"I'm not spending time with you, well not till later. The rehearsal is right after dinner" Alana said.

"I have Quidditch practice anyway, you don't have to be sorry. I know you want to spend every waken moment with the greatest kisser in the world. But in reality that can't be" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"Oh lord, the conceitedness" Alana said as Harry kissed her hungrily.

"Ok you are the greatest kisser in the world" Alana said as Harry laughed.

"Your busy and I'm busy, I respect that you have a life of your own" Harry said as they headed downstairs to the great hall.

"I just want to be a good girlfriend" Alana said. "

"And you are" Harry said as they watched Lupin and Hagrid take their seats.

"We're in for it" Harry said.

"I know, I wonder what he's going to do. I felt bad, he looked at me like he was a disappointed father" Alana said as Harry laughed.

"That's a little dramatic, he just didn't want us kissing in the hallway" Harry said.

"I hope this doesn't affect the dance club." Alana said.

"I doubt it, I like to see you dance" Harry said looking at Alana's figure as she took off her robe.

"I wonder why" Alana said noticing Harry looking at her body.

"That's not it your talented, you're a leader" Harry begin to say. Alana grinned as she sat down and crossed her leg.

"Soft, curvy" Harry said with a laugh.

"That's more like it. A little more honest" Alana said as Harry sat next to her.

"Ginny would you mind moving over" Hermonine said glaring at Ron. Harry and Alana looked at each other.

"Sure I guess" Ginny said moving closer to Ron's direction.

"Something happened?" Alana asked Hermonine.

"Ronald, thinks I'm stupid" Hermonine said.

"That's rubbish, I just asked if you knew a charm," Ron said to Harry.

"You didn't asked Luna that" Hermonine said as the table looked at each other.

"Keep thinking that" Ron said as Harry took Alana's hand.

"Would you like to go outside before class starts" Harry asked as they watched Ron and Hermonine glare at each other.

"Sure" Alana said as she finished eating.

"Look you made, them leave" Ron said to Hermonine as Harry and Alana left 20 minutes later.

"They want to be alone" Ginny said as her and Dean started to leave.

"There's too many couples" Neville said shaking his head.

"Are Ron and Hermonine going to be ok?" Alana asked as her and Harry walked outside.

"They'll be talking by dinner, they're been doing this since first year" Harry said holding Alana's hand.

"They liked each other for that long" Alana said surprised.

"Yea, I'm glad I didn't have to wait five years to tell you" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"I bet" Alana said as Harry sat down and Alana sat on his lap. Harry smiled as he kissed her.

"Ooo look at this" Seamus said as him, Wayne, and Ernie walked over to them.

Alana and Harry looked down blushing.

"We think it's great, a cool guy a cool girl together. I want to be apart of the wedding" Wayne started to say.

"The both of you should be practicing, there's rehearsal tonight" Alana said as Harry wrapped his arms around her.

"We know, Alana let's be honest they're both so disorganized, when are you going to start your dance?" Wayne asked.

"I'll show it on Thursday after we perform" Alana said.

"If we perform" Ernie said.

"We will, Justin and I are going to help them," she said.

"You should put me in there, I can show them some moves' Seamus said pretending to move like a robot.

"Oh lord" Alana said as everyone laughed.

"Seriously Alana" Wayne said as he joined Seamus. Lupin and Hagrid were walking by as they saw the students outside.

"Filch is going to kill us" Ernie said looking around.

"Yea we should lower it" Harry said as Alana started to sit up.

"Ernie, I need you to come to my class so you can get last weeks assignment" Hagrid said as Lupin saw Alana sitting on Harry's lap.

"Off his lap Ms.Deerr" Lupin said to Alana. Alana quickly got up and sat next to Harry.

"Afternoon class is starting" Filch said as the students rolled their eyes. "We're so in for it now" Alana said to Harry as they slowed their pace behind Lupin. "He didn't have to do that in front of everyone" Harry said as they entered the classroom. Alana took a seat in the front as Harry took one across the room. "I want to speak to the both of you after class" Lupin said as students started to arrive.

"Good Afternoon class. today's class we'll be mostly physical" Lupin said.

"A obstacle course has been set up in the back, you'll be combining spells and physical combat to fight off, well you all we'll see" Professor Little said. "Everyone please get into workout gear if you haven't done so already so we can begin" Little said as he opened the door to the back room.

Alana grabbed her book bag and walked to the bathroom.

"Whoa" Ron said as him and Harry walked in. The room was in a spell that looked similar to a London street. On every corner of the classroom was a trunk that was moving.

"I wonder what's in it" Hermonine said as Alana entered the room.

"I assume that everyone warmed up, you guys should know that by now" Little said as Alana looked at Hermonine.

"He could never be nice can't he" Alana whispered as Lupin heard her comment. Alana looked over at him and looked at Professor Little.

"Based on your quizzes next week, some of you will be in groups, in pair of two, some of you will face this course alone" Lupin said looking at Alana.

"Oh the scenery will change, there are four scenery's in all" Professor Little said.

"What kinds" Neville asked.

"Mr.Longbottom if I said that it will defeat the purpose of this lesson" Professor Little said.

"How would saying what the scenery is change the purpose of the lesson?" Alana asked.

"Ms.Deerr, why don't you go first" Little said angrily.

"Fine by me" Alana said stretching glaring at Little.

"He's going to try something" Harry whispered to Ron.

"Well I'm going to so something special for you, a whole new scenery out of the four everyone else will get" Little said as he waved his wand. The scenery change to a warehouse, that consisted of three wizards. They gave a evil smile to Alana.

"Who's my partner?" Alana asked looking at them.

"Your score on the quiz last week was outstanding and your so tough you can do this alone" Little said with a sarcastic tone.

"He's doing this on purpose" Seamus said as some students whispered their fears.

"If something goes wrong we'll stop it," Lupin said as he motioned the other students to move back.

"Here's the situation, those three men in front of you have stolen muggle artifacts from the ministry of magic. The wizard in the middle has the key to where the stolen artifacts are. To make this more interesting. The wizard to the left has your wand" Little said as he waved his wand which took Alana's wand out of her pocket.

"This isn't fair" Alana began to say.

"Let's start" Little said as he moved away.

"You want this" the wizard in the middle said putting the keys in his pocket.

"Don't lose those, I'll be taking them back in a few seconds" Alana said looking at small rod on the floor.

"Is that so" The wizard on the right said.

Alana nodded as she kicked the rod, which knocked out the lights.

"Stupefacio" the wizards yelled as Alana dogged the spell by flipping over them.

"Lights" the wizard in the middle yelled as the lights came back on.

"Whoa" some students said as Lupin looked at Little who was impressed.

"You know I always like it with the light on" one wizard said.

"Uh!" Alana yelled as she kicked one wizard on his back. The wizard fell as Alana realized that he didn't have her wand. Alana started to run towards the other two wizards as the wizard on the right grabbed her by her hair. Alana screamed as Harry tried to jump in.

"She can handle it" Lupin said holding Harry back. Alana grabbed the wizards robe and threw him down. She jumped on top of a box as the remaining wizards charged at her.

Alana jumped ducked as the wizard who took her wand fell to the other side of the year.

"She needs help" Harry began to say.

"Harry, like I said she can do this, let her" Lupin said sternly trying not to show his concern. Alana jumped down and punched the wizard.

The wizard caught her punch as Alana stomped his foot and gave him an upper cut. The wizard fell as Alana grabbed the keys from his pocket. The wizard with Alana's wand struggled to walk as him and Alana started to circle each other. "Your pretty good, are you Godric Gryffindor?" the wizard said as Lupin raised his head.

"No" Alana said just wanting her wand back. "Right, you move like him" the wizard said as Alana grabbed her wand from his pocket. "Experillamus!" she yelled as the wizard's wand left his hand. She pointed the wand at him, then shook her head. "What the heck" Alana said as she punch him. "Yeah!" Seamus said as the class clapped. "Do you want to throw anything else at me for making a point" Alana said to Professor Little.

"Alana, just sit down" Harry said trying to lead her to a seat.

"Well done Ms.Deerr" Lupin said.

"I want to see if someone else is going to get three dark wizards with out a wand" Alana said.

"Ms.Deerr, it was based on your quiz" Little said.

"Right not because you have something against me since day one" Alana said angrily.

"Ms.Deerr, Professor Little is right" Lupin said.

"I don't believe this" she thought.

"Fine" Alana said as she walked to the back of the room glaring at Lupin. Lupin sighed as he looked at Harry.

"Let's start the next course" Little said as Lupin felt guilty.

"Alana stop starting at Little" Seamus said trying not to laugh as Ron, Dean, and Luna were doing an obstacle course in the forest.

"I just want a swing just one swing at that monk," Alana said as Lupin heard her.

"Calm down, you proved him wrong. You can take on three wizards, three dark wizards" Seamus said as the course finished.

"I guess" Alana said.

"Your almost as good has Harry" he added as Alana looked at Harry standing in the front.

"Why do we need to do this?" Alana said.

"Well the both of you did good, you, Harry, Hermonine, and Malfoy were the only ones that went alone" Seamus said.

"Well this lesson has been very fulfilling for us as hopefully it was for you, all you got experience today and I hope it helps you in the future. See you all next week" Lupin said as students started to leave.

Alana got up and saw Little packing up. "What's next? Next week I have to fend off two dementors and two death eaters with my hands tied behind my back" Alana said sarcastically.

"Ms.Deerr that's quite enough" Little said.

"Why do you hate me?" Alana asked as Harry and Lupin watched.

"Your cocky since day one" Little said.

"Not everyone is as gifted in magical combat as you are, that's why I stood up for Neville. Your arrogance is your weakness" Alana said coldly.

"And your cockiness like shown today in punching that wizard instead of using your wand when you possessed it is yours" Little said as he walked away.

"Maybe we should have a one on one session we can teach each other" Alana said as Harry held her back.

"Five points from Gryffindor" Little said slamming the door.

"I hate him," Alana said.

"Alana that was uncalled for" Lupin began to say.

"Him trying to embarrass me that was uncalled for" Alana said.

"We wanted to see your potential" Lupin said trying to control his temper.

"Well I don't know why I can do the stuff that I do. Why? Alana asked looking frustrated.

"Well I cannot tell you right now. But the both of you today, well done" Lupin said as Harry and Alana sat down.

"About this morning professor" Harry began to say.

"Yes this morning, and before this class. It's nice that the both of you are dating but kissing in the hallway when one is supposed to be in class is unacceptable, your lucky I caught you and not Professor Snape especially this afternoon, one could of jumped to the wrong conclusion." Lupin said.

"That's true" Alana said.

"The both of you are truly remarkable wizards and I am honored to lead the both of you to your full potential, but your also teenagers and I feel that it is my duty to also give you guidance when necessary" Lupin said as the couple nodded.

"Well that's all I wanted to say to the both of you, you probably want to kiss, in the common room and such, enjoy the rest of the day" Lupin said smiling.

"Thank you professor" Harry said as Alana and him started to leave.

"Ms.Deerr, I just need to have a word with you" Lupin said.

"I'll be outside" Harry said taking her books.

"I'm sorry about earlier professor" Alana said.

"I am to Ms.Deerr, I should of stopped Little" Lupin said.

"No I meant for kissing Harry in the hallway during class time. You looked disappointed." Alana said.

"I'm not disappointed, Alana. I'm surprised that you care if I was, I'm only your professor" Lupin said jokingly.

"No, your not I mean you helped me and my friend. Your closer to a father figure if anything" Alana said. Lupin smiled and sat down.

"Alana you have a father, a brilliant healer at St. Mungo's" Lupin said.

"I know but, well I can't really talk to him about what I want to do. If he saw me fighting dark wizards in class he would have a heart attack. He was angry that my older brother became an auror. I want to be one too after I leave Hogwarts. He would probably want me to model or work at JLD" Alana said.

"What's JLD?" Lupin asked.

"John Lewis Deerr, my grandfather's company in the states. The Deerr's main source of income" Alana said. "You encourage me, notice my accomplishments even outside of defense class" Alana began to say. Lupin looked at her as she sat down.

I'm sorry I must sound like I feel sorry for myself, I do love my father, he adopted me" Alana said.

"I understand, it doesn't sound like you feel sorry for yourself. You just want your father to take interest in what you want to do" Lupin said.

"Yes, I doubt that would happen, he's like that with my brothers, that's probably why they act the way they do. Grandfather is like that, which is probably why father is like that" Alana said with a laugh.

"A family pattern, that's hard to break." Lupin said.

Alana nodded and said "My family is very dysfunctional, they love each other but they blackmail and stab each other in the back. I love them all but I hope I'm not like them. I told Harry a few of the schemes my family has done and it gave him run for his money".

"Name a few, I'm sure your exaggerating" Lupin said.

"Well my older brother William well is he the weasel, jealous of my brother Steven, a puppet for grandfather. In order to be head of JLD my grandfather said he had to marry his son's mother. My grandfather just wanted to make sure his great grandson was raised in the mansion." Alana said.

"Wait your nephew's mother and him are not together." Lupin said astounded.

"No that's a whole other story Carly is Steven's best friend and well her and Will got drunk and well you know the rest. Will didn't know that Shawn was his till a few years ago. It's better that Shawn is with Carly and not with my brother" Alana said sadly looking down.

"Why is that?" Lupin said concern.

"Will just cares for Will mainly, he used to be a drunk, he loves Shawn but he's better with Carly and he's jealous that Steven is Shawn's godfather. Shawn sees Steve as a father figure more than Will and he's only 3. Will can be cold, he's angry with me for taking Steve's side about Shawn. I mean trading a baby for a spot in a company and to win points with grandfather is low" Alana said angrily.

"Well hopefully he'll get over that Alana. It's unfortunate that he's angry with you. Don't waste your time returning that anger," Lupin said touching her shoulder.

"He helped me with my addiction since he went through it. My family is just screwed up," Alana said as she realized Harry was outside. "I have to go" Alana said getting up.

"Bye Alana" Lupin said.

"Thank you for listening to me" Alana said leaving the classroom.

"Sorry that took so long" Alana said as she took Harry's hand.

"No problem" Harry said noticing Alana looked down. "What's wrong?" Harry said picking her chin up.

"I was apologizing to Lupin about well what happened in the hallway. Then I tell him that I see him as a father figure. Then I talked about a few of the Deerr's schemes, the one with William and Steven" Alana said.

"Oh" Harry said. "William sounds like a jerk but it's not your problem to fix. None of your family's problems is yours to fix you have a life of your own" Harry said putting his arm around her.

"That's what Lupin said. Harry I felt so stupid telling him that he's a father figure to me" Alana said.

"He was probably touched that you did, Lupin doesn't really come in contact with many people besides Hogwarts because of his condition" Harry said.

"It's sad" Alana said.

"Hey don't be sad, he isn't, you see it doesn't slow him down" Harry said as they walked to a bench outside.

"I can have a conversation with him, Harry. Father would come in I would come home from school, he would just say hi and head to the dining room for dinner to have brandy with grandfather" Alana said.

"Remember what I was telling you, you have your family. I would give anything just to be in the same room as my parents. You have that, it might not be the best but you have it" Harry said as Alana leaned on his shoulder.

"When did you become so wise" Alana said as Harry grinned.

"You rubbed off on me," Harry said stroking her neck with his left hand.

"Your hands are soft" Alana said as she closed her eyes.

"You have a soft neck," Harry said feeling Alana's rapid heartbeat.

"Your right about my family" Alana said.

"Just appreciate that their there, that's all shortie," Harry said as he felt Alana moan as he kissed her cheek.

"That's not fair, I don't have a nick name for you. And I take the abuse of being called shortie" Alana said.

"I wonder why" Harry whispered to her ear.

"God I wish there wasn't rehearsal tonight!" Alana said as Harry laughed.

"I know if I can cancel Quidditch I would" Harry said as Alana stood up trying to fix her skirt.

"This skirt looks too tight on me, that serves me right trying to wearing a skirt that belongs to a skeleton" Alana said.

"No it doesn't, it looks really nice actually" Harry said referring to below the torso.

"Right, Padma and Pavarti look like twigs so they can wear anything. Me on the other hand" Alana said.

"Yea, I think it's better you look healthy, I like that you have curves" Harry said as Alana leaned over to him.

"Ok so the boys like curves" Alana said as Harry held the sides of her waist.

"Well I do, so I can hold you like this" Harry said giving her a kiss.

"If there is a break in rehearsal I'll come by and visit," Alana said sitting on top of Harry.

"There's no break from Quidditch. I'm making sure of that," Harry said with a laugh.

"Your going to work them raged aren't you" Alana said shaking her head.

"Yea it's the first game we're going to win. Practice makes perfect" Harry said resting his hands around Alana.

"Your going to be so sore, make sure that the team warms up before practice," Alana said.

"I will, I already had my warm up," Harry said as Alana looked confused.

"Right, the thing we did in defense wasn't warm up for Quidditch" Alana said looking around for Filch.

"No, Shortie, not that" Harry said as Alana wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Ok when?" Alana said.

"I'm having it right now" Harry said.

"Oh that's gross Harry" Alana said pretending to be disgusted as Harry laughed.

"Right so why are you still sitting on my lap" Harry said as Alana narrowed her eyes at him.

"I'm sitting down," Alana said

"There's space right next to me," Harry said.

"Oh whatever Harry" Alana said as Harry laughed pulling her closer to him. Alana grinned and kissed him.

"I'll warm up I promise, I want to continue being a good boyfriend" Harry said as Alana looked and saw a member from the dance club. Alana waved and turned back to Harry.

"She's in the dance club," Alana said.

"Of course every girl is" Harry joked.

"She's a fourth year too, the fourth years are funny" Alana said.

"Your awesome" Harry said shaking his head.

"What makes you say that?" Alana asked as she waved to another fourth year.

"Not a lot of six years are friends, much less nice to fourth years," Harry said.

"That's too bad, Harry we should get inside" Alana said looking at her watch.

"I know, I know. I need to go upstairs to get my Quidditch uniform." Harry said.

"Me too, I want to start actually making up my dance before Pavarti starts her rehearsal" Alana said getting up.

"Lead the way shortie" Harry said as they walked back into the castle.

An half hour into dinner,

"Today is going to be non stop drills, do a few plays will be Hawkshead Attacking Formation, Porskoff Ploy, Sloth Grip Roll " Harry started to say to Ron opening his playbook.

Alana looked over at Hermonine and shrugged. "I have no clue what he is talking about" Alana said as Hermonine laughed.

"I'll show you tomorrow during lunch" Hermonine said as Harry put his arm around his girlfriend and continued to talk to Ron.

"I don't want to worry about if they are fouling or not until Wednesday's practice. They just need to practice these maneuvers so it can be as simple as walking by Sunday" Harry said as Alana looked at him.

"We're going to win the cup this year" Seamus said grinning.

"You got your paint ready" Alana joked. "

As a matter of fact we all do" Dean said as Neville nodded.

"I'm heading to the Defense room to practice before people come in. I have a good hour," Alana said gathering her things.

"Maybe we should head to the Quidditch field," Ron suggested.

"Yea, we can start setting up," Harry said as the group started to get up.

"I will see you all later, I'll be in the common room" Hermonine said touching Ron's arm as she left.

Harry and Alana looked at each other and grinned at Ron.

"What?" He said as they left the great hall.

"Seamus I'll let you watch Quidditch practice but you have to tone it down" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"McGonagall said we can use the defense room to practice," Alana said as Harry and her stood outside the room.

"I want to see this new dance," Harry said putting his arms around Alana.

Alana put her head on Harry's chest as they continued to hold each other.

"How long do they do this" Seamus asked Ron as Harry waved his right hand at him.

"We can hear you" Harry said quietly not wanted to let go.

"I have to make it up first, hopefully I can" Alana said looking up at Harry.

"Your might be one of the tallest girls but your really short compared to me" Harry said with a laugh when Alana looked up at him.

"Oh lord, I'm going" Alana joked pretending to go inside.

"Wait shortie" Harry said pulling her closer and kissed her.

"Have a good rehearsal," Harry said touching her lips.

"Have a good practice, don't kill them" Alana said as Harry laughed.

"I won't" Harry said as Seamus, Ron, and him walked away.

"That's it I'm going to America" Seamus said as Ron laughed.

"Don't loose your focus red man" Ron said referring to the color on Harry's face.

"I'm not" Harry lied thinking about walking back to the Defense room to steal another kiss.

"Focus Alana, the sooner you do this, the sooner you can walk to that Quidditch field" Alana said to herself as music started to play. "It's different, I hope they like it" Alana said as she started to make up moves.

"Why don't we start with the Sloth Grip Roll" Harry said adjusting his jersey. "I learned it recently last year. It's basically rolling upside down to avoid a bludger," Harry said as the team nodded. "The way we'll practice this" Harry began to say as Dobby appeared holding a bludger. "Thanks Dobby" Harry said.

"Anything for Mr. Potter" Dobby said.

"Everyone form a line," Harry said as the team started to practice.

"Where's Alana?" Dobby asked.

"She's at a dance club rehearsal," Harry said watching the team.

"Alana Deerr and Harry Potter dating?" Dobby asked.

"Yes we are" Harry said smiling.

"Well half of it is done" Alana said to herself not noticing a few fourth years walking in.

"Is that your dance Alana?" a girl asked.

"Oh I didn't know you guys were there, well I'm trying to make it my dance before rehearsal starts" Alana said.

"Well it looks nice," the girl said as a young fourth year boy was standing outside the hallway.

"Inna is that your boyfriend?" Alana asked.

"Yea, I heard Pavarti didn't want boyfriends at rehearsals so he's going to stay outside" Inna said.

"No way, he can come in. I'm one of the heads so it's my say" Alana said.

"Todd come in," Inna yelled.

"Hey" Alana said with a smile as she turned wizard wireless off.

"Hey" Todd said shyly as he opened a book.

"He's shy" Alana said to Inna as she giggled.

"He doesn't want to get me into trouble" Inna said as they sat down.

"Rehearsal didn't start yet?" Luna asked walking in.

"No, a few of us got here earlier" Alana said as Inna was starting to walk away.

"Stay here" Alana said as the girls started to talk.

"I hope we make progress," Luna said as girls started to walk in.

"We will, she's going to review everything, I'm going to help you guys." Alana said as she noticed Inna looking over at Todd.

"How long have you guys been dating?" Alana asked.

"Two months" Inna said dreamily.

"Aww" Luna said.

"That's nice" Alana said with a smile.

"How long have you been with your boyfriend" Inna asked.

"What you and Harry are dating?" Luna exclaimed.

"It's only been about a week and a half." Alana said. "Were we that obvious?" Alana asked. "

Yea when you waved today," Inna said grinning.

"I was sitting on this lap, we were talking" Alana to Luna.

"Oh I see" Luna said.

"I can have the longest conversations with my boyfriend" Inna said.

"Me too last week we stayed up till 2 am talking in the common room. We were talking about everything" Alana began to say.

"Kissed probably," Luna said.

"Well that too" Alana said blushing.

"I love it when Todd gives me soft kisses. The first time he kissed me was my first kiss ever," Inna said.

"That is so cute. I remember the first time Harry and I kissed, we were both really emotional" Alana said as Inna and Luna nodded. "Now that I think about it, I kissed him two times after that so we were dating before we knew we were" Alana said.

"I want a boyfriend," Luna said faking a pout.

"Neville?" Alana said. "He never looks up at me," Luna said.

"Harry did that after we had our first kiss, I did too," Alana said trying to give her a hint. "Hopefully this rehearsal will be over on time, I want to see him practice" Alana said.

"Aww your thinking about him" Luna said.

"My boyfriend loves Quidditch he can't play it. He was happy to hear the Harry made captain" Inna said.

"If he wanted to watch a practice I'm sure he could I'll ask Harry later" Alana said.

"I saw him looking at some old plays, he helped a girl earlier in history of magic she's a new chaser in Ravenclaw. He told her the best books to prepare for it" Luna said.

"Not a lot of people wouldn't do that," Inna said.

"That's my baby and I'm his shortie" Alana said.

"Your not short" Inna said.

"Compared to Harry, yea I am that's why he calls me that" Alana said.

"Todd calls me Inn" Inna said shaking her head.

"Why do the boyfriends make up the strangest nicknames?" Alana said.

"Because they are usually holding or kissing us when they do" Inna said.

"Yes! And I think Harry knows that. He can be telling me that Professor Snape gave me five months detention and I wouldn't care because he's holding me," Alana said as the girls laughed.

"Did everyone warm up?" Pavarti said walking in with Justin. The girls nodded.

"Ok let's review from the top" she said looking around.

"This should be interesting" Luna whispered to Alana.

An hour later, "Why don't we actually start playing the game?" Harry said as the team cheered.

"Use the maneuvers taught today, don't worry so much about winning. We're working on plays and technique tonight" Harry said as he got on his broomstick.

"Carrie your seeker for the right side, Jack your seeker for the left. I'll be referee and we'll rotate it" Harry said as the game started.

"Pavarti can be such a" Luna began to say as her and Alana were walking outside during a twenty minute break.

"I know, I don't know what her problem is. But we are done. We do it three more times then they can combine it tomorrow" Alana said.

"Thanks to Justin" Inna said. "That girl is a snob, what's her deal?" Todd asked.

"I know, I didn't feel like helping her today. Girls can be so crazy at times" Alana said looking over at the Quidditch field.

"Why don't we pay them a visit" Luna said as Alana happily nodded.

"Not bad at all" Harry said as the first game ended in team b winning.

"You're a good seeker" Harry said to Carrie who smiled.

"Does anyone want to take a break" Harry asked.

"Just one quick game" A team member yelled as the rest of the team agreed.

"Ok, well Carrie here's the whistle. I'll be the seeker" Harry said handing her the whistle.

"Oh we're going to win" Ron said to Jack.

"Why is that?" Jack said.

"Because Harry's girlfriend is walking over" Ron said with a grin pointing to Alana, Luna, Inna, and Todd walking towards the field.

"Nice" Jack said as the game started.

"Shh, I don't want to disturb them" Alana said trying not to be seen by any of the team members.

"They're doing practice games" Todd said.

"I have to learn the rules, I have no clue what Harry talks about when he talks about Quidditch" Alana said with a laugh.

"That's how we feel about you girls and dance" Todd said. "Do they have jerseys for girls?" Alana asked.

"No only if you play" Luna said.

"I want to get one to wear on Sunday. If I can get one to say Potter 09 that would be cool" Alana said as a chaser flew by.

"Dobby missed Alana" Dobby said appearing next to her.

"Hi Dobby" Alana said watching the game.

"Alana supposed to be at rehearsal" Dobby asked.

"Unfortunately, we're on break" Alana said faking a pout.

"Dobby happy to see Harry Potter and Alana Deerr together" Dobby said happily.

"Thank you Dobby" Alana said happily continuing to watch the game.

"Watch out!" Harry yelled to a chaser as a bludger was heading in his direction. The chaser ducked and nodded at Harry. Harry saw the snitch and started flying towards it.

"That's his job to catch the snitch" Alana said as Luna nodded.

"Harry's one of the best at it" Luna said as Alana watched. The snitched reversed its direction and was flying towards the bleachers a few feet away from Alana and Luna.

Harry whirled around chasing the snitch.

"There he is" Luna said. "

Wow" he thought as he noticed Alana sitting in the bleachers. "Fight it Potter" Harry said as he spotted the snitch. He extended his hand and lowered the broomstick.

"Team B wins again" Carrie said as Harry was holding the snitch.

"Yay!" Alana yelled and started clapping.

"Ok everyone break for 20, your welcome to practice if you want, doesn't really matter" Harry said as part of the team started walking to get some water. Harry looked up at Alana from the bleachers and motioned her and the group to come down.

"I really thought you were going to lose focus" Ron said to Harry as they watched Alana walk down.

"It's Quidditch" Harry said raising his eyebrow.

"But there's also Alana" Ron said grinning.

"Hey" Alana said walking up to Harry.

"Hey" Harry said.

"This is Inna and her boyfriend Todd they're in Gryffindor" Alana said.

"Hey fellow Griffs." Harry said shaking their hands.

"That was a good game, the game on Sunday is going to be good" Todd said.

"You play Todd" Harry asked.

"No, I'm the spectator" Todd answered.

"Well we always need help with little things like getting water, supplies, helping out at practices." Harry said.

"Really?" Todd asked.

"Yea if you want to stay when the team comes back from break that would be cool" Harry said as Alana looked at him.

"Yea I'll do it" Todd said happily.

"There's a robe and broom in the closet you can use for now. There practices for the next two days" Harry said.

"Thanks man" Todd said as Inna followed him.

"I have to use the bathroom I'll meet you back in rehearsal" Luna said and walked away.

"See you in a few" Alana said as she noticed Harry looking at her.

"That was a good game" Alana said happily putting her arms around Harry.

"You're starting to get it, that's my girl" Harry said as they sat down and watched a few team members practicing.

"How is rehearsal going?" Harry asked.

"We made a lot of progress, but Pavarti's attitude is really ticking people off. She made up a rule that boyfriends couldn't come to rehearsal." Alana said.

"Wait, I went to her rehearsal last week just to watch you" Harry said.

"I know, she meant it towards the younger years, so messed up. I know she's annoyed because I told Todd he can come to the rehearsal. But she won't say anything since me and Justin is the heads. All I kept thinking about it break and Quidditch field" Alana said as Harry put his arm around her. Harry lifted her chin and kissed her.

Alana returned the kiss as her hands grabbed Harry's ears.

"Just one more hour shortie. And for you just one more hour for dance right no more than that" Harry asked.

"I'm leaving regardless, I have homework to do, write letters" Alana began to say.

"Stay with boyfriend in common room when everyone is asleep" Harry said. "Yes" Alana said as Harry happily smiled.

"Good I like that time I spend with you." Harry said wrapping his arms around Alan's waist and nuzzling his head on her bare shoulder. "I love it too" Alana said letting out a deep sigh. "Did you start your dance?" Harry asked. "Yea, I'm thinking about teaching it to a few people first, Luna, Justin, Mike, and Inna. There are a lot of parts and I can't show them by myself" Alana said. "Boyfriends can come to practices right?" Harry joked. "I wouldn't have it any other way. I guess she's just stressed. I want to show the twins' dance on Thursday after dinner so we won't have to deal with it anymore." Alana said looking at her watch. "I should start heading back," she said sadly.

"Harry can you show us that maneuver again before the older years come back" Carrie asked as a couple of fourth years walked up to Harry.

"Sure, Ron and I will" Harry said as Alana stepped back.

"Alana I think you made him nervous" Ron said fixing his robe.

"Right" Harry said hitting Ron's shoulder as Alana laughed.

"He doesn't show it" Alana said as she gave Harry a kiss.

"Thank you for coming" Harry said as Inna ran up to catch Alana. Alana smiled and waved back at him.

"You and Harry are so cute" Inna said as they walked back into the school.

"Aww" Alana said as they walked passed Madam Pomfrey.

"Ms. Deerr how are you feeling" she asked.

"I feel physically great Madam Promfrey" Alana said.

"I know that potion is out of your system how about otherwise," Pomfrey asked. Inna and Alana looked at each other.

"Otherwise I'm fine" Alana said. "Oh I see" Pomfrey said.

"You were at St.Mungo's how are my parents doing?" Alana asked.

"Your parents!" Pomfrey exclaimed.

"Yea my mom and dad, is something wrong?" Alana said frustrated on the way the nurse was acting.

"Your parents are great, very happy married couple," Pomfrey said quickly. "Goodnight" she said rushing off.

"Ok what was that?" Inna said laughing.

"Maybe she's tired" Alana said as they walked back into the defense room.

"Ok, a lot of you guys took 25 minute breaks" Pavarti said as girls rolled their eyes.

"I wonder who she is talking about" Luna whispered to Alana.

"That doesn't really matter we should take it from the top then we can end this rehearsal" Justin said. "Thank God" Ernie said as Alana snickered.

"Can people make an effort this time we want to show this on Thursday night so it has to be perfect" Pavarti said as the first group started to dance.

"Please do so she can be quiet" Michael whispered in Alana's ear.

"Just let her be, it's almost over," Alana said, as they got ready to dance.

"Can you guys pick up your feet" Pavarti yelled as the club began to dance again.

"Ok she needs to stop" Alana said noticing a few younger years looking frustrated. "You guys don't let her get to you, I really don't know why she's acting like this" Alana said as she noticed a third year girl tearing up. "Cindy don't cry" Alana said kneeling down as Justin walked over to her.

"Your doing fine" Justin said looking at Alana.

"Why don't we go outside" Alana said as the club started to stare.

"Go on without us" Justin said as they walked out into the hallway.

"That girl is such a bitch!" Cindy said through her tears as the Seamus, Ron, Ginny, Todd, and Harry were walking towards the room.

"What's going on?" Seamus said as the group rushed over.

"Calm down" Alana said.

"During the break she said most of the third years are doing bad" Cindy said.

"Really" Justin said as Alana rolled her eyes and noticed Harry standing there.

"No she is a bitch you and Justin know it. I mean if you want respect you earn it, you don't demand it" Cindy yelled.

"She's just stressed, the way she's acting isn't necessary. Why don't you go back to the Hufflepuff dorm and get some rest" Justin said touching her arm.

"No than I can't be in the dance" Cindy began to say.

"Your in because it's our say" Alana said pointing to her and Justin.

"Thanks, see you guys tomorrow night" Cindy said as she walked away.

Alana looked at Justin "Pavarti" the both said realizing the Quidditch team was there.

"What happened" Ginny asked as Dean walked over to her.

"We're almost done" Pavarti said coming out.

"Rehearsal's over" Justin yelled as he took his wand out and turned off wizard wireless.

"We have a good half hour" Pavarti said.

"Yea we need to talk" Alana said trying to control her temper.

"Why are you giving crap to the younger years" Justin said.

"What does that supposed to mean?" Pavarti said.

"The no boyfriend or girlfriend rule, you didn't say that to me or Dean. Or telling third years that they suck" Alana said.

"It was true, Alana" Pavarti said.

"Have you seen me or Justin tell anyone whatever year they are in, that they suck" Alana asked.

"No, maybe you should of the dance could of come out a little better" Pavarti said.

"Ooo" A few students said.

"Pavarti I'm going to let that slide because your stressed out about your dance, maybe you should learn from your sister, her part is done, it was organized, people liked it and it wasn't recycled moves from me or Justin's previous dances. Get some sleep" Alana said giving her a fake smile.

"Oh whatever" Pavarti said getting her things and pushing passed Alana and Justin.

"Wow" Justin said looking over at Alana.

"It took every once of self control not to lunge at her. I want an apology tomorrow" Alana said realizing that the club saw this.

"There's rehearsal tomorrow night, but Padma will be here with her people. We're not going to talk about what happened just now, till we figure it out. Have a good night" Alana said as the club laughed.

"That was awesome" Michael said as him, Ernie and Wayne walked out.

"Is Cindy going to be ok?" Inna asked as Todd took her hand.

"She just needs some rest" Justin said as Alana nodded.

"That was the coolest thing I seen all year and the year didn't really start" Todd said as Alana laughed.

"Thanks I think" Alana said as Harry walked up to her. Alana flopped into his arms.

Harry started to laugh and asked; "Had a good rehearsal?"

"No" Alana said quietly.

"Forget about her" he said kissing the top of her forehead.

"I'm tired" Alana said.

"You're just pissed off" Harry said as they walked back to Gryffindor tower.

"What happened at the rehearsal, Pavarti's pissed" Hermonine said.

"She's acting like a brat making third years cry so me and Justin told her about herself" Alana said.

"Well if she did that, then she got what she deserved" Hermonine said.

"I have to get my notebook" Alana said to Harry taking a deep break before walking into the dormitory.

"I'll have to do some homework anyway" Harry said walking into the boy's dormitory.

"Hey Alana" Lavender said as Alana smiled.

"Hey" Alana said as Pavarti glared at her.

"It's stuffy in here" Pavarti said and left for the common room. Alana rolled her eyes and looked for the rest of her textbooks.

"Lavender you're her best friend, what is her deal today?" Alana asked.

"I don't know, I think she feels that she needs to be better than Padma. I know she feels her parents do that" Lavender said.

"And I just did it in the hallway. She needs to work on how she wants people to see her. People today saw her as a bitch" Alana whispered. "

She'll cool down" Lavender said as Alana left.

Alana walked back into the common room and saw Pavarti standing outside the door. "We need to talk" Pavarti said.

"Ok, talk" Alana said. "I didn't mean to bother the younger years. I'll apologize to them tomorrow. But your comment downstairs really hurt my feelings. We're not as perfect as you are, Alana" Pavarti said tearing up.

"Pavarti, I don't act like I'm perfect. You of all people know that in class and in rehearsals. I apologize for comparing you to Padma, I was just pissed of about what you said since, we all were trying to help you" Alana said.

"I accept your apology but I won't forget it. I'm sorry too, I'll apologize to Justin tomorrow" Pavarti said coldly.

"Apology accepted I wont forget either." Alana said raising her eyebrow as Hermonine and Ron looked at each other. Pavarti started to walk away as Alana touched her shoulder.

"Maybe you should get some rest it's been a very long day, and tomorrow is the fun part, picking stuff to wear" Alana said trying to lighten things up.

"Cool" Pavarti said as a smile crept up on her face.

"Nite P" Alana said.

"Nite A" Pavarti said as Dean and Seamus walked into the common room.

"No catfight" Seamus said as Alana shocked her head.

"No" Alana said with a laugh.

"Harry said he has to work on that assignment for Potions since Snape gave him an extra part to do. He'll be down later" Dean said.

"Ok" Alana said opening her advance transfiguration book.

"Wait he told me to give you this" Seamus said handing her a parchment. Alana took the parchment and opened it.

"Aww" she said smiling.

"What is it" Dean said as Alana showed him the parchment saying feel better shortie with animated flowers blooming.

Harry opened the daily prophet for the first time today "Oh no" he said looking at the headline. "Three muggles dead, he who must not be named sighted in the Americas". Harry clenched his fist and felt his temper rise. "Damn him" Harry thought as he heard Alana's laugh downstairs. "Calm down Potter, you'll scare her" he thought as he remembered the look on Alana's face when fighting with Malfoy in Hogsmade. Harry sighed and finished his potions assignment.

"Nite" Ginny said as Dean gave her a kiss as Harry walked in the common room an hour later.

"Where is she" Harry said in sweatpants and a white shirt.

"She went upstairs to get a book" Ginny said walking to the girl's dormitory.

"You'll live without her for 10 minutes, we do" Dean said with a laugh as the guys went into the dormitory. Harry sat down and noticed a few of Alana's textbooks on the table.

"Ancient swordplay" Harry read as Alana walked in wearing black boy shorts and a tank top.

"I had to wash my face and get my notebook" Alana said as Harry smiled at her.

"You're doing some light reading" Harry said pointing at the sword book.

"This is my third time renewing it from the library, after that night at the duel club, I wanted to know more about it since it looked like I did. I thought reading the book can tell me why my body knew how to fight, but it hasn't I just like practicing" Alana said.

"Practicing with what" Harry said surprised.

"You promise you won't laugh" Alana said.

"I don't know" Harry said trying not to laugh.

"Oh, whatever, I have an old baton from my old school that I use" Alana said. Harry started to laugh.

"Wait maybe I should stop before you cut me" Harry said as Alana picked up the book and saw the front page of the Daily Prophet.

"Oh" Alana said sadly reading the headline as Harry looked down.

"I saw it already" Harry said trying to control his anger as Alana saw his right hand turn into a fist. Alana took his right fist and started stroking her left thumb on it.

"This really is a war" Harry said.

"I know" Alana said. "I could have stopped it months ago" Harry said angrily.

"Don't say things like that, Harry" Alana began to say.

"Alana I could of, people are dying because of me" Harry said. Alana saw a tear run down the right side of his face.

"Shh" Alana said kissing the side of his face where the tear ran. Harry took a deep breath as Alana touched his face. He pulled her in for an embrace and buried his face on her shoulder.

"Harry, I want you to tell me these things, you can't keep everything inside" Alana said as they held each other.

"I don't want to scare you" Harry said.

"So what if you, look just because I dance doesn't mean I'm high mainteince" Alana said with a smile as Harry chuckled.

"I wouldn't say that" Harry said pulling Alana on top of him.

"You know what I can just go right on to sleep if I'm high mait" Alana began to say as Harry kissed her. Alana broke the kiss as Harry sat up. "Don't worry about scaring me" Alana said seriously.

"I don't want you to see me well how I was a few seconds ago. I'll try to be more open about this." Harry said as Alana gave him a peck on the cheek.

"I know it's going to take time, baby" Alana said as Harry nodded.

"Thank you for understanding that" Harry said as he noticed Alana rubbing her neck.

"Your neck is sore?" Harry asked.

Alana nodded and said "Pavarti gave the worse warm up".

"Turn around" Harry said as Alana moved her hair to her left shoulder.

Harry pulled her closer behind him and said "What part of your neck is bothering you" Alana pointed to the back of her neck.

"Relax' Harry said softly as he started to massage the right side of her neck. Alana closed her eyes and leaned back. Harry smiled as he felt his girlfriend relax and moved to the left side of her neck.

"That feels so nice" Alana thought as she move her face towards Harry's. "Hmm" Alana said as Harry kissed the top of her nose.

"Does that feel better" Harry said holding her.

"Yes, very much" Alana said as she felt Harry's hold get tighter as he kissed her cheek.

"I need you" Harry whispered in her ear. Alana leaned back and touched Harry's face.

"I need you" Alana said as both of them started to feel the heat between them. With his left hand, Harry pulled Alana's chin up for a kiss, the kiss started to become more passionate. Alana turned around and sat on top of Harry not breaking the kiss.

Harry wrapped his arms around her as she broke the kiss. Harry, catching his breath touched Alana's lips looking at her eyes with desire. He brought his face towards hers as their foreheads touched; he gave her soft kiss on her cheek.

Harry looked up at his girlfriend who was still catching her breath. He smiled as he started to kiss her neck.

"Ooh" Alana moaned softly wrapping her arms around Harry's neck and leaning back slightly. Harry pulled Alana closer on top of him still giving her neck soft kisses. Alana started to stroke the back of Harry's neck as she felt Harry's hands wrapped under her shirt. "Harry" Alana moaned trying to speak as Harry gave her a kiss.

Alana returned the kiss hungrily as Harry laid her down on the sofa. Harry smiled and gave Alana a kiss as he went on top of her.

"Hmm" Harry moaned feeling Alana's heartbeat. "God you're beautiful" Harry said looking at Alana. Alana pulled him down for a kiss as Harry's hand lifted her right leg.

"Harry wait" Alana said through a kiss. Harry kissed her neck again as Alana moaned.

"Harry" Alana said starting to get up as the couple kissed.

"What's wrong?" Harry said touching her face.

"I think we should stop before we both do something" Alana tried to say.

"Oh" Harry said getting the idea.

"I'm sorry" Harry began to say.

"No don't be, I wasn't" Alana said starting to blush.

"I couldn't stop" Harry said holding Alana's hand.

"I know, it took a lot for me to stop" Alana said leaning on Harry.

Harry grinned as he put his arm around his girlfriend. "I'm sleepy" Alana said tiredly as Harry yarned as well.

"You need your rest for that fun class called history of magic" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"That fun class" Alana said as they got up from the sofa. Harry smiled as Alana wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Have a goodnight" Harry said as Alana nodded.

"Sweet dreams" Alana said as they kiss.

"Only of you" Harry said walking back to his dormitory.

Chapter 37-Deerr vs. Deerr

"Morning" Alana said to a few fourth years as she walked to McGonagall's office.

"Morning" they said.

"Are you guys ready for tonight's performance?" Alana said.

"Yea, for it to be over" A boy said as Alana laughed.

"We're going to be nice, right. Just a few more hours to go and we'll all have a break for a while" Alana said as she noticed their faces lighting up.

"Thanks Alana" the boy said as Alana walked into the office.

"Mails here" Hermonine said as owls entered the great hall.

"I'll get Alana's mail" she added as Bowen flew over and dropped a few letters.

"Aww that's right you won't see her till lunch time" Ginny said as Harry sadly nodded.

"No, I probably won't see her till after the performance cause she's helping out" Harry said. "Ginny he'll live" Dean said sarcastically putting her arm around her.

"Morning Madam Pomfrey" Lupin said as she sat in the professor's table.

"Morning" Pomfrey said sadly looking at the Gryffindor table.

"Is something wrong?" Lupin asked.

"I noticed Alana Deerr's owl dropping off all that mail I have a feeling of what's going to be in those letters." Pomfrey said as Alana walked in holding exams. Alana smiled at Harry as she walked to the professor's table.

"Professor McGonagall is there anything else you would like for me to do, I finished the first year exams and noticed these" Alana said referring to what she was holding.

"Oh those are the exams for next weeks class, I haven't finished putting them together. But you can write a list of what topics I am missing" McGonagall said as Alana nodded as she noticed Madam Pomfrey looking at her.

"Is something wrong Madam Pomfrey" Alana said concerned.

"No, I'm sorry" Pomfrey answered as Alana walked away.

"Her family is about to be divided into two, When I visited St. Mungo's a couple of nurses were discussing a rumor about Alana's mother and father. I didn't believe it till I witnessed an argument between them myself" Pomfrey said to Lupin .

"Your letters" Hermonine said to Alana as they entered herbology.

"Thank you" Alana said as she looked through the addresses.

"Grandfather, and William. I guess it's a family day I don't know about" Alana joked as she stuffed the letters into her bag.

"Oh add this, you'll probably open this now" Hermonine joked.

"Of course" Alana said recognizing Harry's handwriting.

"You make him happy, this is the happiest I've seen Harry" Hermonine said seriously.

"I try, I care about him too much" Alana said starting to read the letter.

"He's mad about you" Hermonine said softly as Alana smiled.

"He wished me luck today, he told me not to kill Pavarti." Alana said with a laugh as class started.

"You saw the quibbler today" Ron said handing it to Harry.

"Should I?" Harry said sarcastically.

"Nothing too exciting, they're talking about a woman named Eden Scott, she's sort of a nut. A pretty little nut that supports killing mugbloods, father said her mother Kendall is the same way" Ron said showing Harry the article.

"She's not that pretty" Harry said reading the article.

"We forgot that Alana was the most beautiful woman in the world" Ron said sarcastically.

"Well I know Hermonine is for you, but yes Alana is very beautiful to me" Harry said reading the article.

"What did I tell you mate?" Ron said looking at the expression on Harry's face.

"She is a nut, she can be a threat especially now with this article. Voldemont can read it" Harry began to say.

"And they can join forces" Ron said as Harry nodded.

"Her mother was a healer, that's ironic. Went to Sacred Heart healer school in the states" Harry said.

"Alana said that her father went there" Ron asked.

"Yea" Harry said.

"You think her mother ever crossed path's with Alana's father?" Ron asked as Harry's headshot up.

"That's a good question" Harry said knowing Alana would worry.

"Eden is an expert swordsman, the family itself descend from Taddius Finch, he was a dark wizard and Godric Gryffindor's long time rival, Eden carries Finch's sword with her wherever she goes" Ron said pointing to Eden's holster.

"The woman sounds ruthless" Harry said.

"You and Harry with your letters, next trip to Hogsmade I'll gladly buy the both of you two rolls of parchment so the both of you can talk to each other in classes" Hermonine said as Alana handed her a letter.

"See you at lunch" Alana said walking to the common room. Alana smiled to herself remembering what she wrote in her letter to Harry.

"Now let me open these letters" Alana said about to take them out from her bag. "Grandfather" she read the return address.

"Alana, I hope all is well at Hogwarts, I really don't know where to begin with this letter but just know that your grandmother and I love you very much. I don't know if you had been hearing rumors going around about your parents. If you don't I suggest you talk to them face to face. I am disappointed with your father who I sadly call my son. I am disappointed in your mother as well I thought she had more class. As you see, I am angry with your parents for what they done to each other and what they will try to do to you. Your godmother's wedding is coming up in England and I know for a fact your parents will use that as a battleground. Just know your grandmother and I are here for you and the Deerr resources are at your disposable. Your cousins and I will be there as soon as I can.

Love Grandfather"

"What in the world" Alana thought putting the letter down. She took a deep breath and put the letter back in her bag. "What did mom and dad do?" Alana said out loud opening another letter.

"Hello Alana, I assume all is well with you since you didn't bother on writing me goodbye. I guess I should be the first one to tell you that there is a new edition to the family. And I found her! She's not exactly a new edition yet, she's kind of like me the outcast. We have the golden boy Steven and you the golden girl. Then we have the drunk me, and the illigimate daughter Eden. Mother and father were very surprised when I walked into St. Mungo's with Eden and her mother. This revealed that father had an affair during his first year of marriage with Eden's mother while in school. Mother was so furious that she started to have a relationship with a healer in the hospital. Father retaliated by having a liaison with Eden's mother. Grandfather is furious because Eden wants her inheritance and she won't leave till I get mines also, since I was disinherited. I just wanted to let the golden girl what was going on. Life isn't perfect after all isn't it.

Your brother William"

"That bastard" Alana thought as she felt tears come down her cheeks. "He has to be lying about this. It can't be true it's too cruel" she said as she ran into the girl's dormitory.

"How was my girlfriend" Harry asked Hermonine as they entered Divination.

"Fine, she got two notes from her grandfather and her brother William. She got your note. That was the only one she opened in class" Hermonine said as Harry smiled.

"Thank you" Harry said as she handed him Alana's note.

"Lynn I know I just wrote you recently but this is an emergency, do you know what's going on at the mansion? Did has anyone unusual come to speak with grandfather? I heard what's supposedly been going on with my parents and it can't be true. It has to be another Deerr scheme. Can you ask your father for me? Maybe he can make sense of this mess. I can't wait for you to meet Harry either, and I agree from the picture I sent you of him and me from a month ago he is very cute. See you at Susan's wedding

Your cuz Alana"

Alana sighed and handed the note to Bowen. "Send it to Hogsmade for the states" Alana said looking at the time. "Oh no! I was supposed to meet Padma" Alana exclaimed.

"Where is your girlfriend" Pavarti said to Harry as lunch was underway.

"She's probably doing some school work it's only 12:15" Harry said trying to follow the advice he was giving Alana.

"Yea and we were supposed to meet at noon" Pavarti said.

"Just calm down, I'm sure she'll be here" Padma said as she spotted Alana. "I'm sorry I was late" Alana said.

"Your late" Pavarti said.

"I know that, that's why I said I'm sorry I'm late" Alana said angrily.

"It's not problem at all" Padma said getting between the two girls.

"Ooo" Seamus said as they walked out of the hall.

"She was fine in herbology" Hermonine said as Harry looked at her.

"Something was bothering her" Harry said about to get up.

"Let her be for now" Hermonine said stopping him.

"She's right" Ginny said as Harry reluctantly nodded.

"This is a dress run rehearsal whatever happens, happens" Padma said as her sister glared at her.

"Alana are you ok?" Inna asked noticing Alana's arms crossed.

"I'm ok" Alana said as the group started to warm up.

"Alana your owl is here" Justin said a few minutes later as the group started to dance.

"father" Alana read the returning address and walked off to the side.

"I was quite disappointed to hear from Madam Pomfrey about your adventure with Paul Crane, it could of gotten you killed. We have asked you repeatedly not to associate yourself with him and now I hear that you and Harry Potter are dating? I thought I raised you better than this. The boy is doomed I don't care how good of a person he is, stay away from Harry Potter is the bottom line. Hopefully doing that will bring you're B average up to where it's supposed to be. I do this because I love you. I will see you soon.

Love Father"

Alana felt tears swell up in her eyes. "Everyone looks really good. I guess we'll see everyone at Showtime tonight at 7" Pavarti said as she noticed Alana. The group nodded and started going their separate ways.

"Alana I'm sorry about earlier" Pavarti began to say as a few younger years surrounded the girls.

"Don't worry about it" Alana said trying not cry.

"What's wrong?" A second year girl asked.

"I" Alana began to say as she shook her head. "It's a very long day" Alana said running back into the castle.

"Alana probably woke up on the wrong side this morning" Seamus said to Harry.

"I guess" Harry said as they walked out of the great hall.

"Alana was crying" A first year said walking up to Harry.

"What?" Harry said surprised.

"She was at rehearsal crying, no one knows why" Inna said as Harry looked over at Pavarti.

"It wasn't because of her" Padma said.

"Her owl flew in with a note then moments later she gets upset. Luna said she was running into Myrtle's bathroom" Padma added.

"She looked upset?" Harry said.

"Yea, it was weird she was fine this morning excited about tonight" Padma said.

"I'll look for her" Harry said walking to the girl's bathroom.

"Stop crying Alana" Alana thought to herself as she noticed Myrtle floating in the ceiling.

"Alana please come out of there" Hermonine said trying to open the door.

"She locked herself in" Hermonine said as Harry walked towards her. Harry knocked on the door.

"Leave me alone just for a few minutes" Alana said through her tears.

"Alana" Harry said as Alana recognized the voice.

"Harry, please just let me be" Alana began to say. "

What happened" Harry said softly as he heard Alana crying. Harry took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Can I come in, please" Harry said as Alana sat up. "Alana?" Harry said concerned. "Alana" Harry said again not getting a response as the door unlocked.

Harry walked into the girl's bathroom. "So upset that girl is" Myrtle said happily as Harry rolled his eyes.

"Alana" Harry said as he saw Alana trying to wash her face.

"What happened?" Harry asked as Alana sat down shaking her head. "Tell me what happened" Harry said trying to calm his girlfriend.

"This" Alana said in tears handing Harry the letters. "I can't believe what my family is capable of" Alana said wiping a few tears.

Harry shook his head as he started to read. "Hopefully this is about your parents isn't true" Harry began to say.

I have a feeling it is true that they're doing this and it hurts my heart Harry it hurts my heart" Alana said as Harry started to hold her. "I know it does" Harry said softly stroking her right arm. "And my father, a person who was at least honorable isn't and he as the nerve to tell me to stay away from you. Harry I'm not like him I don't think like that" Alana said hysterically as she punched the wall.

"Shh, Alana stop, I know that. Your not like your father, blood or personality wise" Harry said wiping her tears.

"And for William for bring these women into our home and causing chaos. And why did grandfather write to me, he only would if he wanted something" Alana said as Harry nodded.

"They're all trying to get you on their side" Harry said sadly.

"I hate all three of them" Alana said angrily as Harry continued to hold her.

"No you don't" Harry began to say.

"Harry yes I do! I just said that I do!" Alana said crying.

"Shh ok, I'm sorry" Harry said realized how fragile Alana was about this a she started to sob.

"I didn't mean to do that" Alana said tiredly.

"I know that" Harry said feeling Alana's body get less tense.

"I'm not giving you up, your more honorable than grandfather, father, and William combined." Alana said as Harry kissed the top of her forehead.

"I know your not" Harry whispered in her ear.

"What?" Alana said looking at Harry.

"There's an article in the Quibbler about Eden Scott and her mother. They are death eater supporters. Eden's mother went to Healer school with your father" Harry said.

"Why is my family hurting each other" Alana said starting to cry again as Harry held her tighter. Harry did not say anything but felt a knife through his heart as Alana continued to sob.

"Maybe we should get out of here" Alana said twenty minutes later as Harry loosed his hold around her.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked.

Alana nodded and said "Yea I have to get to a class that I'm very late too and get ready for tonight".

"Don't push yourself" Harry said as they kissed.

"I'll try" Alana said quietly.

"Try not to think about all of this" Harry said holding the letters.

"Well not right now at least" he added as they started to get up. Alana gave a weak smile to Harry. "Come here" Harry said as he pulled her for an embrace.

"Can you walk me to class" Alana said.

"Of course" Harry said as they opened and found Hermonine and Seamus sitting outside.

"Are you feeling better" Hermonine asked.

"A little" Alana said as she hugged her friend.

"Good" Seamus said as he hugged her. "

We all need to get to class, I lied to Filch and said we were doing an assignment" Hermonine said as the group laughed.

"I'll see you at dinner, you didn't eat today" Harry said as they were a few feet from the classroom.

"I know" Alana said.

"Do you want something now I'll have dobby cook you something" Harry began to say.

"I'm fine, well for hunger at least" Alana said. "Thank you" Alana said giving Harry a hug.

"I would do anything for you" Harry said squeezing her hand before she entered the classroom.

"Madam Promfrey" Harry said as he tried to catch up with her.

"What is it Potter?" Promfrey asked.

"You were visiting St. Mungo's a few weeks ago. How did Alana's parents look to you?" Harry asked.

"Why is that your concerned?" Promfrey asked as Lupin walked towards them.

"I need to know if the rumors are true. And I noticed you been looking at Alana funny for the past few days" Harry said angrily.

"When her parents come here for her godmother's wedding you'll already know the answer" Pomfrey said sadly as Harry understood what she meant.

"Thank you" Harry said.

"Dammit" Harry thought as Lupin saw him make a fist with his right hand.

"The best thing to do is to be there for her" Lupin said.

"This woman Eden is a sadist" Harry said angrily.

"Harry that anger isn't going to help" Lupin said as they entered his office.

"Professor I just spent the last half hour trying to physically calm Alana down. It felt like somebody putting a knife in my heart the pain she was in" Harry said.

"She'll need you now more than ever, they are arriving next week. Half of Alana's family will be in England" Lupin said as Harry rolled his eyes.

"I know" he replied.

"Are you feeling better" Inna asked Alana when they entered the great hall for dinner.

"I rather not talk about it, we're dancing in another hour" Alana said forcing a smile as they walked to the Gryffindor table.

"Your right" Inna said taking a few dinner rolls.

"I didn't realize how hungry I actually was" Alana said as Inna laughed looking at her plate.

"Don't let this fool you, she's always hungry" Harry said holding flowers behind his back. "

Hey" Alana said softly as he gave her a quick kiss.

"This is for you, I changed it up a little" Harry said holding a half of dozen yellow and white roses. "It's beautiful" Alana said looking at them. Harry smiled noticing Alana cheering up.

"What are you wearing for this dance" Harry asked.

"I have to change into it, I'm not wearing it now" Alana grinned.

"As a matter of fact everyone should change now so we can meet outside" Pavarti said.

"I guess you'll see it" Alana said as she started to walk away.

"Wait" Alana said motioning Harry to come toward her. Alana pulled her boyfriend for a kiss that turned more passionate.

"Goodluck" Harry said as Alana smiled and walked away.

"She looks better" Seamus said to Harry.

"I don't think she's thinking about her family's problems well not now" Harry said.

"All that money and they act like that" Ginny said sadly. "I rather be poor than to deal with all of that" she added. "

Well Alana said in the states your considered an adult in the wizard world at sixteen so she is out of there after the holidays she's living in her brother house in the summer" Harry said as Dumbledore walked up to the podium.

"Good evening all, we have a little treat tonight. Padma and Pavarti have some entertainment for us" Dumbledore said as the left the podium and took a seat in the audience.

The lights flickered on and off as members of the dance club appear on stage wearing nightclub clothes. The background had graffiti lettering spelling out "Outrageous" as the music started to play.

"The girls look hot" Seamus said as Neville nodded. Harry looked at him.

"Alana isn't in this part, I wouldn't refer to her" Seamus said as Neville grinned.

"It looks ok, I remember seeing those same moves the first time the club performed" Hermonine shrugged.

"Because they are Alana's and Justin's" Ginny said as Alana, Luna, and Lisa walked on pretending to challenge the fellow dancers and ushering them off.

"Aww look at his face" Ginny teased. Harry didn't pay attention to her, his eyes were focused on Alana.

"It wasn't that bad" Ron said to Hermonine as the group posed.

"I guess not, I mean all that drama with Pavarti I was expecting more" she replied. Ginny started to laugh as Dean nodded in agreement.

"The outfits were cute" Seamus said referring to the way the girls looked in the outfits.

"That was very entertaining as always from the dance club, I'm looking forward to seeing Alana's in a few weeks" Dumbledore said as music started to play.

"Thank you Alana for helping us out, it turned out really good" Pavarti said as Alana smiled.

"Anytime" Alana replied.

"When does your rehearsal start" Michael said. "

Not till a few weeks, we all need a break" Alana said as Michael touched her shoulder.

"Especially you, are you feeling better" he asked.

"I don't know, I really appreciate you asking me though" Alana said as Cho saw them talking.

"Unbelievable" she said to Marietta.

"They're just talking, Cho. My girlfriend and your boyfriend are good friends" Harry said Alana spotted him.

"I heard about that, your girlfriend" Cho said.

"Hey" Alana said as Michael and her walked up to Harry and Cho. Alana walked up to Harry and gave him a kiss.

"Hey Cho" Alana said forcing a smile.

"Hi" Cho said coldly. "I'll see you during break tomorrow, Mike" Alana said as Harry took her hand.

"Alana" Harry began to say.

"I know that was wrong" Alana said.

"You had a rough day I'll won't say anything this time" Harry said referring to Alana and Cho.

"It's a nice night" Alana said looking outside the window.

"I know" Harry said looking at the stars.

"What?" Alana said looking at Harry. "I want to show you something. Meet me in the common room in thirty minutes, everyone will be in the common room or asleep" Harry said as he gave her a kiss goodbye.

"Harry wait" Alana tried to say before he rushed off.

"What is he up to" Alana thought as Hermonine rushed her to a seat.

"How are you really feeling?" Hermonine asked.

"I feel everything up to this point. Happy that I have Harry to lean on, sad about my parent's marriage, angry with my brother William. It's like I'm a living soup" Alana joked.

"Anyone would be" Hermonine said as Alana looked at the time.

"Do you want to start heading up we can review transfiguration together before heading to bed" Hermonine said.

"Yea that sounds good" Alana said. "Also kills time" she thought.

Forty-five minutes later, "Alana I'm heading to bed" Hermonine said tiredly on her bed.

"I'm going to get a glass of water" Alana said wearing plaid pajama shorts and a black tank top.

"Ok" Hermonine yarned as Alana closed the door.

"Well everyone is asleep" Alana said sitting down on the sofa. "Where is he" she thought.

"You ready" Harry said coming out of his invisibility cloak.

"Yes, just do that less" Alana said as Harry laughed.

"What's the blanket for" Alana asked.

"You'll see" Harry said motioning her to come closer as he wrapped themselves around his cloak.

"Are we still in the school" Alana whispered.

"Of course, ok here we are" Harry said taking off the cloak.

"Welcome to the astronomy tower" Harry said.

"It's high" Alana said looking down from it.

"Look up shortie" Harry said as he looked at the expression on Alana's face.

"Wow" Alana said looking at the stars.

"Nice right" Harry said wrapping the spare blanket around her.

"Yes, thank you" Alana said as they sat down. Harry sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"It's quiet here, I came here sometimes to think, no one knows that" Harry said.

"You have a lot of think about" Alana said.

"I know, but if you want to come here" Harry said as Alana turned to look at him.

"I know you need to be alone at times." Harry said seriously.

"Thank you" Alana said fighting back tears.

"Remember I said I do anything for you. I mean that. I would never hurt you" Harry said as the couple rocked from side to side.

"I know" Alana said as they kissed. "My family on the other hand" Alana said shaking her head.

Harry turned her around. "All of them don't do it deliberately" Harry said.

"I don't even want to get into that" Alana said. She kisses him jamming her tongue down his throat. She broke the kiss and looked at Harry.

They wrapped their arms around one another and started kissing passionately. Alana took a long deep breath as she felt Harry's hands on her back. "Make me forget for just a little while" Alana moaned as they couple kissed.

Harry kissed Alana's neck as Alana took off Harry's shirt. Alana looked at Harry's bare chest.

"Harry, make me forget" Alana said as Harry looked at her oddly.

Alana smiled and directed Harry's hands on how to take off her shirt. Harry looked at her with desire. His finger stoked her stomach. Alana took a deep breath as Harry slowly took off her shirt revealing a black bra. Harry leaned Alana back looking at her torso.

Alana pulled him and as the couple wrapped their arms around one another. Harry continued to kiss her neck, Alana moan at the simple pleasure. Trying to control himself, Harry started to kiss her stomach. Harry looked at his girlfriend and kissed her heavily.

"Harry" Alana said softly.

"Yes" He said in a husky voice.

"I want to forget" Alana said.

"Why do you keep saying that" Harry asked.

"Just take away all the pain" Alana said kissing Harry. Harry frowned through the kiss.

"You know I can't do that" Harry said.

"You're doing that now" Alana said kissing his neck. Harry took a deep breath as Alana put her hands on his chest as she saw Harry looking at her chest. '

"You want me" Alana whispered putting Harry's arms on the sides of her waist. Alana wrapped her arms around Harry's neck as they kissed. The kiss turned more passionate as Alana sat on Harry's lap.

"That feels so nice" Alana said as they broke the kiss.

Harry nodded and said "You know I can't take away what happened today"

"You already are" Alana said as she started to move up and down on Harry's lap.

"Shh, don't do that" Harry said trying not to give in.

"I want you" Alana said as Harry took her off his lap.

"It can't be like this" Harry said holding her hand.

"You don't want me" Alana said looking devastated.

"Of course I do, I'm not going to take advantage of you just because there's a family crisis. When I do make love to you it will be a bigger reason, a more happier reason because of that" Harry said handing Alana her shirt.

"You're right" Alana said as he put on his shirt.

"It would have been good though" Harry said as Alana laughed.

"Having you in my arms is enough" Harry said holding Alana as they looked at the stars.
