Disclaimer: I own nothing…

A/N: Well, thank you guys so much for all the reviews! You all deserve cookies and a hug! I apologize for nearly giving you guys heart attacks last chapter… I just re-read it and realized how incredibly evil I was! Lol! Do you still love me? I'm SO sorry I made you wait so long between updates! It's not that I was waiting for more reviews, I just simply didn't even have time or energy to do everything I needed to do, much less update! I'm sorry! Lol! Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter, here it is!

Upon apparating into his cubicle/office, Harry found Lexi sitting in her usual chair across from his desk. She looked as though she had slept about as much as he had—which wasn't much. Her knees were pulled up to her chest as she bit her lower lip and stared at the wall with a dazed look on her face. When Harry got there, she gave no visible sign that she even knew he was there, just continued to stare at the gray wall behind the desk.

Harry didn't really want to knock her out of her stupor. He was scared of what would happen when they finally exchanged words.

"Hello," Harry said quietly as he stood in the doorway, looking at her. She was so peaceful. He knew the peace would probably stop once they finally spoke, but he knew that what must be done simply must be done.

Lexi jumped at the sound of his voice and immediately darted her head towards him.

"Harry—hi," She said with a small, but sad and worried smile. "I was hoping you would be here soon, we need to talk about—"

"I know we need to talk, but I'd like to get some coffee first," He said quickly. A little too quickly. He didn't really need coffee all that badly—he was used to hardly sleeping at night because of dreadful dreams, but he did need to leave the room.

Lexi looked for a moment as though she wanted for him to stay, but just gave a halfhearted nod.

Harry walked as slowly to and from the office kitchen as he possible could, but eventually he came to the point where it was just irrational to not go back to the office.

"How's Hermione?" Lexi asked in a worried voice as she pushed her long light-blonde hair behind her ears as Harry came back into the cubicle and sat behind his desk as he stirred his coffee.

"She's not doing to great," Harry said with a sigh. Where was Lexi going with this? Letting him down easy?

"Long night?" Lexi asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, a bit," Harry said, looking at her and trying to read her facial expression. It gave away no hints as to how she felt other than tired. "You?"

"Yeah," Lexi said quietly as she looked around the office, obviously avoiding Harry's gaze.

"So are we going to discuss—" Harry began in slight annoyance. If she wanted to talk about it, why didn't she just talk about it?

"What happened last night?" Lexi finished with a perfectly plucked eyebrow raised, finally looking him in the eyes.

"Or, better yet, what didn't happen," Harry corrected her feeling for a moment that things were almost back to normal, then realizing that things would never be normal again.

"What would've happened," Lexi said in a tone of finality. She looked at him with sadness in her eyes. "Look, Harry, you're a really great guy and everything—"

"I'm sorry," Harry began in a slightly sarcastic tone, "But are you breaking up with me? Because I don't think you can do that when we're not in a relationship."

"But I'm not sure what last night was," Lexi said, ignoring him. "I mean, was it just an attempt at some stupid rebound fling or something?" Lexi asked with a guarded look in her eyes.

Harry was trying and failing miserably at not looking into her eyes though. That was how he got into this in the first place.

"No," Harry said flatly, insulted that she would think he would do that. He would never—not with her. Not with anyone. Especially not with Lexi.

"Do you have feelings for me?" Lexi asked quietly in a squeaky voice as she looked at him with worry and confusion written on her face.

"I don't know—maybe," Harry said as he avoided her gaze and busied himself with arranging the papers on his always messy desk. In all truth, he thought he did, but he didn't know.

"Maybe," Lexi repeated quietly with a deep breath.

"I'm a little confused," Harry admitted quietly, more to himself that to her.

"You're not the only one," Lexi said with a sigh as she crossed her arms over her chest and looked around.

Harry propped his elbows on the desk and rested his face in his hands. It had, indeed, been a long night.

"I don't know," Lexi began, "I mean, on the one hand—I don't know. Do you—do you want to give this a go?" Lexi asked quietly with confusion painted across her face.

"I don't know," Harry said with confusion. Did he want to try a relationship with Lexi? The problem was, he didn't know. He had just started to have an inkling of feelings for her under twenty-four hours ago.

"Do you—" Lexi began before taking a deep breath, "Do you have feelings for me?" She asked again.

"Quite possibly—I don't really know. Everything is kind of confusing right now," Harry said with frustration. He had just broken up with his girlfriend barely two days ago! How could he be sure if his feeling were real?

"Tell me about it," Lexi said with a weak attempt at a smile.

"Do—" Harry began nervously with a huge lump in his throat. He gulped, "Do—do—you have feelings for me?" He asked as he felt his face turn red.

"I think I might," Lexi said as she looked him square in the eyes.

Of course, her doing this was how they got into this mess in the first place.

"I—I—" Harry stuttered at a loss for words. "See."

"So I'll ask you again—do you have feelings for me?" Lexi asked in a shaky voice.

"I—I," Harry stuttered, wishing he could just tell her the truth that he did have feelings for her, but knowing that it wouldn't change anything. Their relationship would never work.

"Hello," Hermione said disheartened as Harry apparated into his flat.

She was sitting on his couch with her knees drawn up to her chest and puffy eyes wearing the same thing she'd been wearing since the previous night.

"Hi," Harry said distractedly. "How are you doing?" He asked as he walked over to he couch and sat beside her, slouching back and staring at the wall.

"All right," Hermione said in a voice that suggested she was anything but all right, "You?"

"All right," Harry mumbled.

"Harry, I've been wondering," Hermione began quietly after a moment of silence.

"About?" Harry asked.

"When I got here last night, you and Lexi were about to—" Hermione began.

"Yes," Harry said sullenly.

"I'm sorry," Hermione said sincerely.

"It's fine," Harry said, leaning forward and looking at her, "Some things are more important." Harry said as he thought wishfully of what would have happened if she hadn't shown up.
