Chapter 6- The Promise

I didn't attend anymore of my classes that day. People kept knocking on my door begging me to come out but I simply couldn't. I had an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach of hunger and pain. I couldn't bear it any longer. I knew that sooner or later, I was gonna crack. I cried myself to sleep that night, dreaming about Fred the whole time.

I woke up in the middle of the night wrapped up in my blanket and sweating all over. There was nothing I could do to forget him. It would be him and only him for the rest of my life. I had one shot at love but I lost it. I just let go of it. away it floated like a balloon happily released into the air. I decided to take a night stroll. I needed some fresh air. I didn't care anymore if the prefects caught me. I put on my fluffy pink rabbit slippers and made my to the door.

I opened the door to my dorm. Cool air rushed in. I quietly scuttled down the steps leading to the common room. The fire was still blazing when I got there but luckily, everyone had gone to bed early that night, or so I thought.

I could hear the Pink Fat Lady snoring from inside. It was going to be hard to get by her. I slowly pulled the portrait to the side. The snoring stopped................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ I held still and I held my breath in. the snoring began once again. I my breath out in a long puff. I continued to open the portrait door ever so slowly, until a hole was revealed. I stepped through it, not even bothering to close it again. I went hallway after hallway.................. Sprinting up and down the long flights of stairs but at last I had gotten to the main doors that lead to the field. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.

How unlucky! But wait! I had remembered a spell that Hermione Granger was teaching Harry. What was it? Amohara? No that's not right. Aharaloca? Not that either. I racked my brain for the spell searching the deepest corners of my memories. I desperately needed that spell. ALOHAMORA! That was it!

I took my wand out and pointed it to the lock.

"Alohamora!" I cried out softly.

The locked obeyed me and fell to the floor making a loud clanging noise. Oh no.

Mrs. Norris appeared moving towards me. Her yellow eyes sunk into my brown guilty ones. She purred softly. In any minute Filch would be here. He was always attached to his cat. I quickly opened the doors and rushed outside just as Filch came stalking in.

"What is it my sweet?" he asked bending down to rub the cat's filthy back.

I didn't hear anymore. I didn't want to. It was too disgusting. I ran off in a jog. I could feel the air rush against my cheeks. I regretted not bringing my coat. I decided to go to the lake. I wanted to wade my feet in the water. I didn't mind the giant squid, at least I had some company.

You wouldn't believe who I saw there, his shoes and socks off, wading his feet in the shallow part off the lake. I guess you know... Fred!

"What are you doing here?" I asked glaring angrily at him.

Why did he always have to be where I was?

He turned his head around and stared at me blankly.

"Are you following me or something?" I demanded an answer. I put my hands on my hips.

"For what its worth... yeah," he told me. Turning his head back to the lake.

"Yeah? Well why?" I asked sitting beside him.

"I just felt like going on a stroll, that's all. I somehow knew you would too," he explained.

I began taking my slippers off. I dipped my feet in the icy cool depths of the lake.

"I needed to think, if what I did a while ago was right you know," he continued.

Where was this conversation going? I swayed my feet in the water curiously.

"I came to the conclusion that I was stupid a while ago, and..." he stopped.

"And?" I asked.

"Well, I hoped you would forgive me and forget it happened," he said looking at me hopefully.

"I couldn't sleep. And I couldn't stop thinking about you because you meant so much to me," he said.

"Me too," I muttered.

"So will you forgive me then?" he asked eyeing me.

"I don't know," I answered. What was I doing? Of course I forgave him but something inside me said he isn't worth it.

"You hurt me Fred, and it was hard to accept that," I continued.

"But I promise that I would never hurt you again. This experience has shown me that you mean more to me than anything in this world," he tried to say.

That was sweet. And romantic too.

"Do you promise?" I asked him.

I didn't even wait for an answer. I knew what he would say. I leaned forward and pecked him on the cheek as a sign to say that I forgave him. He was stunned. When he finally got out of his trance, he hugged me as tight as he could.

"I just never want to let go of you ever again," he told me.

"I will keep my promise, I promise,"

I was so happy. I felt so relieved. Now that we were ok, I felt how tired and sleepy I was as well as hungry. I laid my head on Fred's lap and slept. I see he didn't mind, because he let me continue. I fell asleep so peacefully. As Fred put his arms around me and kissed my on the forehead, I was so glad to once again be in the arms of my love.
