Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own any of the Harry Potter characters except (for now) Beatriz.

The outburst and only playing quidditch...

Harry woke up the next day, saw Ron had already got up, quickly got dressed and went down to breakfast.

All the Weasleys, Hermione, Remus, Sirius and Beatriz were already seated around the table, eating breakfast. He noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley weren't at the table and before he could say anything Remus said,

"Molly and Arthur had to go to do some work for the Order of the Phoenix."

Harry nodded and sat down in between Bill and Ron. Beatriz was sat in front of him.
And the twins were at either side of her.
He was halfway through his second sausage, when Fred and George started talking to Beatriz.

"Hey Beatrix, your name is really useful you know. You can change it a lot. My personal favourite is actually beetwax, what do you think George?"

"Well my favourite is Beetroot personally, it's very original AND it's a vegetable!"

Harry quickly looked at Beatriz. It seemed that they had done this before, and now she was absolutely tired with it. Her face was growing very red and she was clutching her knife and fork so tightly that her knuckles had turned white. The bad thing was that they were carrying on.

"Of course, there is that muggle author, Beatrix Potter; hey she could be married to Harry!"

"Na," replied Fred. "Harry has much better taste – "

They had struck a nerve. Beatriz stood up and slammed her knife and fork down. Everybody else, who hadn't been really paying attention to what Fred and George had been saying to her, quickly looked at her. She started shouting at Fred and George,

"OH YOU THINK IT'S SO FUNNY DON'T YOU??!! COME ON, LET'S ALL CALL BEATRIZ NAMES; BEATRAX, BIATRIX, BEETROOT, THE WHOLE LOT!"

A tear streamed down her face.

"AS IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, I HATE PEOPLE CALLING ME NAMES! BUT NOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO CARRY ON AND ON!
I'VE ALREADY HAD ENOUGH TAUNTS AND BULLYING FROM THE PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL AND MY FUKING FOSTER FAMILY, SO I DON'T NEED IT FORM YOU!!"

And with that she ran out of the kitchen, up to her room.

Nobody said anything for a few minutes.
Hermione and Ginny made a move to go after her, but Lupin shook his head and said,

"Leave her be. Fred, George, you shouldn't have done that."

The twins looked up at him angrily, but he said,

"I know that you were just joking, but just remember that she had a difficult life, especially with that stupid foster family."

The twins hung their heads in shame.

After a few more minutes of awkward silence, Sirius said,

"I have some good advice for all of the guys in her. Never and I mean never tease a Spanish girl. Believe me, I've been through worst then what just happened."

They all looked at him curiously, but laughed at the same time.

After breakfast, they decided to go and play quidditch. Harry was still a bit worried about Beatriz, so he pretended to go to the toilet, saying he would join them later.

He went up the stairs and to the room she shared with Ginny and knocked softly on the door. A voice called out,

"Who is it?"

"Harry," he answered.

"Oh. Well, come in."

He opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed. Her face streamed with dry tears.

He went to sit next to her and said,

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah," she said wiping her face. "It's just I've ahd a hard time at home and I just really want to find my real parents...."

A tear fell down her face and she buried her head in her hands.

Harry suddenly felt such a surge of sympathy for her that he pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back tightly. They had been like this for a few minutes, when she lifted her head and their eyes made contact.

Her eye shape was so beautiful. The colour...so brilliantly green....the door burst open and in came Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins.

Beatriz and Harry both blushed deeply and sprang apart. They both walked quickly out of the room, feeling the stares on the back of their necks.

Harry went upstairs while Beatriz went downstairs. Hermione and Ginny followed Beatriz, while Ron, Fred and George followed Harry into Ron's room.

They surrounded him and (all at the same time) started asking him questions,

"So what's with you and Beatriz, eh?"

"Did you kiss?"

"Really Harry, trust you to make a move on the first day..."

"There's love in the air..."

"Harry and Beatriz, sitting in a tree, K – I – S – S – I –N – "

"SHUTUP" Shouted Harry.

He grinned at them and said,

"I DO NOT fancy Beatriz. I was just giving her a friendly hug because..."but he stopped at the look of disbelief on their faces. He said,

"What – IT'S TRUE!"

But they just looked at him and said,

"Yep, alright mate..."

"If that's all you've got to say.."

"Of course, we're so stupid, a 'friendly hug' only."

And with that they walked out of the room, leaving a frustrated and slightly bemused Harry.

Later on, Harry went downstairs, to find Geroge and Fred apologising to Beatriz. George was saying,

"We really didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"Will you ever find it in your hearts to forgive us?"said Fred kneeling dramtically.

Beatriz laughed and gave them both a kiss on the cheek.Harry felt a pang of jealously.

But then grinned at the dark red flush that was creeping up Fred and George's faces.

George then said timidly,

"I guess that's a yes then?"

Beatriz grinned and said,

"Come on, then let's play Quidditch."

They were about to go outside when Ron spotted Harry and said,

"Harry, didn't see ya there mate. Do'you wanna play quidditch with us?"

Harry grinned and said,

"What do you think?"

As they were getting the brooms from the broom shed, Beatrix caught Harry's eye and smiled at him. He grinned back.

Ginny didn't want to play and started playing with Crookshanks. Hermione didn't want to play either, so she sat and read a book ( surprise,surprise!)

There were only 5 playing, so Fred and George decided to play against Harry, Ron and Beatriz.

They had been playing for a while, and Beatriz was speeding towards the goal, when she suddenly slipped off the ground and started falling to the ground.
