The night of the dance came. I sat alone in the common room, trying
desperately to finish up my homework, while watching everyone head out
towards the dance. "Hey Harry." I looked up and my jaw dropped.
"You look...amazing."
Chelsie smiled at me as she blushed. "Thanks. Don't forget what I told you the other day."
"Don't worry I'll be there. You better get going, Draco can be very impatient." She exited through the portrait hole and I sat there stunned. How can one person be so beautiful?
"You're not serious about meeting her later are you?"
"Hermione, you're just jealous."
"I am not!"
"You are too." Ron chimed in. She elbowed Ron and vowed to never speak to him again. "Is that a promise?" Apparently that wasn't the most appropriate thing to say at the moment. Hermione just turned away and walked huffily out of the room.
"Do you think we pissed her off much?"
"Harry, be careful. "
"Come on it's Chelsie."
"Good point. I want details when you get back."
"Details?" He just winked back at me and left. The room was nice and quiet, just the way I liked it. Time rolled by faster than I expected. Before I knew it, it was 10 o'clock, time to go and meet Chelsie. I took a deep breath and headed outside. I found Chelsie waiting for me. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. "H...Hi." I couldn't believe how I was acting. Why was I so nervous all of a sudden? "You sure Draco's not going to see us?"
"Draco's back in the common room. It gives me just enough time to talk to you."
"Well? What is it?"
She took a deep breath. "Close your eyes."
"Chelsie..." She told me not to speak and just do as she said, so I did. She leaned in closer, I could feel her lips close to mine, I could almost taste them...but then suddenly a bright light hit my eyes causing her to back away. I opened my eyes and stared at the person holding the lantern.
"Professor Dumbledore? I swear we didn't do anything."
He smirked. "Both of you follow me."
I rolled my eyes. "Here we go again. You know this is all your fault?"
Chelsie gasped as she raced to keep up with my quick strides. "My fault? You didn't have to meet me you know."
"I was expecting you to tell me some deep dark secret."
"I don't have any deep dark secrets. I just told you that so you wouldn't talk to me anymore. I didn't want Malfoy to hurt you."
"I can take care of myself thank you. God I can't believe you, I mean you could have just told me you wanted to kiss me."
"I tried to kiss you last time and you turned away. Besides, i'm not the kind of girl who tells a guy to meet her outside so she can makeout with him."
I smiled. "You...you wanted to makeout with me?" She nodded. I had to have been one of the happiest guys alive at that moment. I looked around at my surroundings, something wasn't quite right. "Professor where are we going?"
We found ourselves standing right next to the Hogwarts Express. "What's up with the train?"
"Sorry i'm late. Alright you lot. Get on." I looked up at Hagrid who was hovering over me.
"Where are we going?" Chelsie asked a very good question.
"Eh...just get on the train."
"No seriously, where are we going?"
"Just get on the train."
"Can't you just give me a hint?" Hagrid glared at her. "Right, getting on the train now." Chelsie and I boarded the train without a clue about what was going on. I had a feeling something was wrong. I watched as the train shifted and began to move. I tried to keep the school in view as long as I could, but before long, it was gone. I slumped back in my seat. What was going on?
