Jamie's POV
Harry just stared at me for a moment. I stared back as if he'd just declared Drake his best friend.
"I think I'm starting to like you… as more than a friend." Harry said. I looked him in the eye.
"Really?" I asked.
"I think." He said.
Sara's POV
"Aww, this is a 'Dear Diary' moment!" I said, trying to listen to the conversation in the common room with some extra Extendable Ears Hermione got from the Weasley twins.
"I know! Maybe if they get together, it'll help Ginny get over her crush for Harry." Hermione said. I nodded, and listened when Harry started talking again.
"So…" Harry trailed off.
"So…" Jamie trailed off also.
"I have to go." Harry said. I opened the door, and Hermione and I stood at the top of the staircase, watching what would happen next.
Jamie's POV
"Wait!" I yelled, watching Harry walk up his dormitory staircase. I followed him.
"We can't avoid this subject forever!" I shouted as I walked into the dorm. It was empty, but I quickly saw Harry's trunk close. I reached out toward thin air. I felt something solid, and closed my fingers around the material. I pulled the invisibility cloak off of him. He ran out of the dorm and into the common room. I ran after him, and pulled out my wand.
"Immobilus!" I shouted, and Harry suddenly stopped.
"Sorry to have to use extreme measures, but your being immature about this!" I said.
"You don't understand," Harry said, able to move again, taking a deep breath, "Liz, I like you. A lot. The only other person I liked this way was Cho, and you know how that ended. I think, if you agree, this might go go somewhere. But our friendship is too strong. If we were to break up, look at what we'd lose." Harry finished, looking me in the eye. I think I started to cry.
"But that's an if. If we got together, look at what we'd gain." I said.
"Are you sure about that?" Harry asked me.
"Pretty sure." I said. He held his arms out, and I hugged him.
"So, will you be my girlfriend?" Harry asked. I nodded.
"Yes." I said.
"Aww!" I heard two voices chorus together. I turned around and saw Hermione and Sara at the top of the girls dormitory staircase.
"Mione, Sar… how long have you been there?" I asked them.
"Just enough time to hear Harry's speech." Sara said. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"You're both annoying eavesdroppers!" I said. Sara nodded.
"Why, thank you!" Hermione said. Harry stared at her.
"Since when have you been sarcastic, Mione?" Harry asked her.
"When I met these two." Hermione said. Sara and I nodded.
Dinner~~
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sara, Ginny, and I all walked down to the Great Hall together. Harry and I were hand in hand.
"So, how did you find out that you liked my cousin, Harry?" Sara asked Harry.
"Well, actually, Malfoy helped a bit." Harry said.
"Right you are, Potter. I did help. Congratulations, you two." A voice behind us said.
"Oh, my god, Drake! Don't do that! You scared the living hell out of me." I said.
"Weasley, Weasley-ette, Granger, James… er, Sara." Draco said.
"Call me Maci again. You care again." Sara said. We walked into the Great Hall and ate dinner. Then, the six of us went back to the common room.
"Wizards' Chess?" Ron asked Harry. He looked at me.
"Go on, I'm going to bed." I said. Harry kissed my cheek and helped Ron set up the chess board.
"Night everyone." I said, and walked up to my dorm.
