Disclaimer: Refer back to previous chapters for disclaimer (I'm starting to
like writing this!)
I SUGGEST ALL PEOPLE GO BACK IF THEY WANT TO READ THE DIFFERENT LULLABY IN CHAPTER 11. THIS WILL BE USED IN FURTHER CHAPTERS SO IT WILL BE NICE TO BE FAMILIAR WITH AT LEAST A PART OF IT.
Just for all the people who don't know, they are still in first year. They have known each other 4 days in this chapter.
Review replies:
Hainyyah: I'm glad you honest, but what is wrong with him asking her out the first time they met?
Manny2003: Glad you reviewed again, I love it when people review more than once, it what encourages me to keep going. As for your question, the answer is as follows: UNDER CONSTRUCTION. I'm going to post as soon as I am online again (Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday.)
Athenakitty: I appreciate the reviews, but am I supposed to answer every one of your questions?
Anna: Whoops, but I needed them to be attacked by him, else how exciting would it be?
ILOVETOWRITE456: Ok, I'm writing as fast as I can, it will take about say, 3 hours to write the chapter, check it and then wait to be able to go online.
Simsgirl626: I know, I hate to end a chapter, but I have to end it somewhere, hell, I could all 7 years in one chapter, but it would be waaay too long!! And you would probably take me much longer than if it is split into chapters. This is going to be one long story! I can see it now!
Arctic$saber: Yeah! Snuffles! Whoo hoo!
Harrysbaby: I'm sure you get it now...
Catherine: Thanks; I love how you reviewed all my stories. It wasn't meant to be a romance when I started writing it, Lilac didn't even exist when I started it, but it's fun to put all my unused love (I have no one to give it to) into a story.
I'm proud that a picky person likes it. . Who knew when I wrote it to cure writers block for my other story, it would become even longer than that story! I hope more of those thousands review it!!!
Raven Potter Weasley: Thanks; I'm glad I know someone planned to review it.
Dweem-angel: The answers are all in this chapter!!
Titanic-harrypotter-lvr-2: I love reviews like this, short and simple!!
Sorry to anyone I missed, I think this all who reviewed since the last time I did thank yous, finally, here is the chapter.............

Chapter 14: Battle of the best friends
"Well, professor, it's like this..." Seamus said and gulped.
"We went outside last night, and didn't realize it was a full moon." Romulus continued nervously.
"And we were walking around the edge of the forest when Romulus suddenly froze and then transformed into a werewolf, and Harry bravely took it on himself, but got knocked into a tree." Lilac said and Harry continued for her.
"While Lilac distracted him Seamus woke me up and got Romulus off Lilac before he could bite her. Romulus then ran off and we got out the forest, the next thing I remember is Seamus running off for help and then falling asleep." They sighed, held Their breath and waited for the punishment.
"Well, you all were very brave last night, and bravery is not a sin." He said and everyone breathed again. "But you were out of bed after curfew so you all will serve detention tonight, Lilac, Harry, you both go with professor Mcgonagall. Seamus, Romulus, you go with professor Flitwick. And naturally, the staff will be informed off your condition Romulus, we don't have to tell professor Snape!" He said smiling at Romulus.
After all the years Harry, had seen Dumbledore at their house, it still never failed to surprise him about how he knew everything.
"Sir, one more question, what happened to the shrieking shack last night?" Lilac asked.
"Unfortunately, it seems there was an attack on it, good thing no one was in there, the ministry officials in there this morning detected dark magic." He said.
"Thank you professor!" They said and left the office after Dumbledore dismissed them.
"At least that was easy enough!" Seamus said when they got out the entrance and the gargoyle jumped back in place.
"Yeah, I wonder who our detentions are with..." Lilac said but something grabbed her arm and pulled.
She looked around and saw it was Robin. "Enough chatting, you are spending sometime with us today, or rather, what's left of the day!" she said and Lilac stopped fighting her but walked behind her and when Robin let go of her arm, moved next to her and Aimee.
"Bye Lilac! See you at dinner!" Harry called after her and she looked back and smiled at him.
"He is so polite, and to think, this morning he kissed me!!!" She thought to herself but robin turned around suddenly and interrupted her thoughts.
"You're coming with us!" She said and pulled Harry along with them.
"Oh no, he's not!" Seamus protested and pulled his other arm.
"You have had HER for 4 days and have HIM for 10 years. One afternoon isn't going to kill you!" She growled and pulled his arm back.
"Why do you want him?" Seamus said to her.
"None of your business!" She said and gave another tug.
"Fine, but let us then take Aimee!" He replied.
"Fine!" Robin smirked.
"Why me?" Aimee asked quietly as Seamus let go of Harry and pulled Aimee with him.
"Because Lilac is going with us and I have the deal to make." Robin said.
While Romulus, Seamus and Aimee walked one way; Robin, Harry and Lilac walked the other.
"Where are we going?" Lilac whispered in Harry's ear after a while.
"I don't know, I'm following Robin!" he whispered back and she giggled.
"Would you two lovebirds please whisper sweet nothings in each other's ear's when I'm not here!" Robin sighed.
"Shut up Robin, we were just wondering, where you are taking us?" Lilac asked.
"We have to pick up a potion Madam Pomfrey made for Aimee." Robin said and they walked in silence till they got inside the hospital wing.
"Hello Miss Catalina! Have these two hurt themselves already?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she hurried out from the closed curtains again.
"No madam Pomfrey, we have to pick up the potion for Aimee!" Robin said and smiled at her.
"Wait here dears, it will be ready in a few minutes; it is still simmering." She said and bustled back into her office.
"What did you want to make a deal about Robin?" Harry asked.
"You are Seamus are close right?"
"Yeah, always have been!"
"How long would it take you to get some information out of him for me?"
"Depends on what it is about and what for!"
"I will make a deal with you, I give you something that I know he would like, and you give me certain Info form him, and of course, some from yourself."
"What do you have and what info is it?" Harry asked cautiously.
"I have pictures of him before you found him, here is a little piece of it!" She said and pulled out a photo of a very beautiful woman with long brown hair and turquoise eyes holding a little baby with black hair and blue eyes.
"This was the last photo take no of him and his mother, she died the next day, I have a whole lot of photos of him I got from our attic. Is it a fair trade that I give you this for a few pieces of info?" She asked.
"Depends what info you want." He replied.
"For one, where were you last night and why were you here earlier?" She asked.
"Can't tell you that, it would be betraying Romulus!" He said.
"Ok, well I need you to find out if Seamus like me!" She said and blushed.
"Ok, I will find out that without letting him know you wanted to know, what else?"
"There will be another after you find out that one, but for now, what is going on with you two?"
"I'm saying nothing here, it is too risky, and we need somewhere more private!" Lilac answered.
"Fine, tonight I have detention with professor Mcgonagall, can we meet somewhere afterwards?"
"We also have detention tonight with her, we will tell you afterwards." Harry said.
"Great, but don't worry, I won't tell anything I hear, and you don't tell anyone that you got these pictures from me!"
"Why not?" Lilac asked curiously.
"Because I'm already going to get killed if my parents find out I'm in Gryffindor, never mind took the pictures without asking, they never check the attic, but if anyone tells, I won't survive the holidays!"
"What's wrong with being in Gryffindor?" Lilac asked.
"Nothing to me, but you see, my parents and family have all been in Slytherin, so I was also supposed to be one, but I don't want to!" Robin said.
"Ok, I get it, sort of!" Lilac replied.
"Harry will explain it to you later, if you need help just think of this, all the Potter's from the very first to your dad have been in Gryffindor, right?"
"Yeah, not that I know who was first!" He said.
"That isn't important right now, what would you dad do if you were in Slytherin?"
'Not a pleasant thought!" He replied in a horrified voice.
"I guess this is different but the same situation as my parents are going to take it. What if you became friends with, let's say, Snape and Malfoy?"
"Stop it Robin, you are going to give me nightmares! All I know is that I wouldn't live to tell the story, that's basically all I want to know!" He shuddered.
"That's how my parents think of me being friends with Lilac and Aimee, a muggleborn and a half-blood!" She said.
"Poor you!" Lilac replied.
Just then, Madam Pomfrey bustled back out of her office and handed Robin the potion.
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey!" Robin called as they walked out the class.
"Now we need to figure a way to sneak you two back into the dorms without being seen!"
"Why is that?" Harry asked.
"Are you kidding? When I left, there were already rumours of you two having left school to get married!"
"This is crazy! Why would we leave to get married?"
"I don't know how people's minds work!" Robin replied.
"Cause a distraction of some sort, then we will sneak in!" Lilac told Robin.
"Ok, I hope this works..."
$
"We are here! Now can you two please tell me the truth?" Robin sighed. They had got into the common room and up to their own dorms when Robin had planted an estimated 12 dungbombs in various places around the room.
They had just thought they would get away without answering questions but were almost attacked when they sat down for dinner. They had managed to lie and say that they had had an accident with fireworks, dungbombs and some socks. This had made people all go sit down and let their imaginations answer the questions instead.
So here they were, just having finished a detention with Mcgonagall. (Write 'I will not break the rules or disgrace my house again' 200 times!) Sitting in the room of requirement on soft cushions, waiting to tell Robin the truth.
"I don't think it is explainable, but I think we have another way instead..." Harry said nervously.
"Well go on, don't be shy!" Robin said with an eager smile on her face.
Without warning, Harry grabbed Lilac, who was next to him, tipped her over and kissed her, which she returned eagerly and wrapped her arms round his neck.
They broke the kiss too see Robin with wide eyes and a huge grin on her face.

Not technically a cliffy, but close enough.
