Chapter 7

Lera and Hermione were sitting in the library. Hermione was finishing a runes essay, wile Lera was explaining, in an essay, how light bulbs work for muggle studies.

Lera was just about on her last sentence, when she looked at her watch.

'Oh my god!' she exclaimed looking at her watch. It is already 2pm. I have to meet James.' (A/n James had owled her back saying that they would meet at 2:15)

And with that she grabbed her books and dashed out of the library with madam Pince yelling, 'oi, no running in the library.'

Hermione looked up, shook her head and looked back down at her work.

It was at that moment that Ginny decided to walk up. 'Hey Mione. What's up?'

'Not a lot Ginny. Lera just ran off to meet James.'

'I thought she was going out with Harry?'

'She is. She is just meeting him.'

'She is cheating on Harry!'

'Not really. They are just friends,' said Hermione as she checked a fact in her book.

The little red head said nothing. Secretly Ginny still liked Harry. It wasn't right what Lera was doing to him.

'Does Harry know that they are meeting?'

'No. And you can't tell him either,' said Hermione, looking squarely at Ginny.

'Fine. But I want you to know that I don't think it is right.'

Ginny turned around and stalked out of the library. She wouldn't tell Harry. Telling would imply vocals. She would owl him.

Don't get me wrong, Ginny is a very nice person but she still had feelings for Harry. She wasn't out to ruin their relationship; she just didn't think it was fair how Lera was treating him.

The red head walked up to the owlery. Everything was planned.

Lera ran down to the green house. Bag under her arm and hair flying everywhere.

'Sorry I am late,' she panted.

'Its fine.' He said. 'What do you want to do?'

Hermione meanwhile was still in the library.

She finished her last piece of work and glanced at her watch. It was now 2:30.

'Well, it is that time again,' she said to herself. She picked up her books and walked out of the library.

Ron, on the other side of the castle did the same thing.

They met at the same place they always did.

'Hey Mione,' Ron said.

'Hey Ron,' she replied.

And they took each other's hands and walked to the same spot they always did.

Harry was sitting in his dormitory, sulking. It wasn't fair. Lera was his. James had no right to take her. And that letter. It wasn't from her aunt. He thought it was from James but he didn't know for sure. He sat there in a fit of jealousy. She was HIS.

A tapping interrupted his thoughts. An owl he didn't recognise was tapping at his window.

He walked over to the window and led it in. he opened the letter.

Harry,

Lera is meeting James. I thought you should know.

Harry was almost knocked over with the surge of jealousy that hit him. THIS WAS NOT FAIR. He would not stand around while a guy he didn't know or like seduced his girlfriend. He didn't even realise how unreasonable he was being.

Harry ran around furiously around the castle trying to find them. He burst out into the garden and saw Lera and James walking around the great lake, laughing.

He stormed down to them. He reached James and punched him square in the face. He jumped on him and punched him repeatedly.

He could hear Lera screaming and he felt her hands grab at him and he was pulled off him.

'Stop it. Stop it!' she screamed.

Harry launched himself back at James. Lera grabbed him and slapped him across the face.

Harry was taken a back. He stopped his attack.

'He is a bastard. He is stealing you,' he said frantically.

'It is my choice what I do!' she replied calmly.

'I am not stealing her,' said a voice from behind. James had recovered and was standing up.

Harry glared at him.

'You are min!' he yelled.

' I don not belong to you! I never have. How dare you claim ownership of me!' she yelled. 'You don't know what it is like for me. I want to have a life besides you. Everything I do has to be with you. I hate it. You are to possessive!'

Harry was stunned.

'Don't talk to me like that!' he said dangerously.

'I can talk to you anyway way I want! How dare you assume you can control me!'

He took out his wand at that point, but Lera was faster. 'Expelleramus.'

Harry went flying backwards. He lay there in a daze.

Lera felt sorry for him and lent over to help him up. 'Sorry,' she said.

' It doesn't matter. Lets go Lera. Leave this bastard alone.'

'No. It is over Harry.'

'NO. I won't accept it!' he yelled. He went to grab Lera.

'Fuck off you bastard. It is over.'

Harry sat there in a daze.

'OK,' he said quietly. 'I am sorry Lera. I don't know what came over me,'

'Just leave Harry. I'll see you later.'

Harry got up and walked slowly away.

Lera started shaking uncontrollably. James came up and held her for a few minutes.

'I am so sorry James,' she sobbed

'It is Ok,'

'I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow.' She turned and ran up to the castle. Sobbing uncontrollably.
