Chapter 12 ~ Confrontations
The Christmas Holidays were apon Hogwarts before its students knew it. Harry had definitely decided to stay for the holidays, not wanting to go back to the Dursleys house, however, Caprice had been invited back home for the Christmas Break.
On their secret midnight meeting, this time was a Thursday night, the friends were discussing a few important matters.
'So you're really going home?'
'Yes Harry, I'm very sorry, but my parents really want to see me, and they want me to tell them all about Hogwarts and how its changed since they were here.'
'I don't want you to go.'
'I know you don't, but it's only five weeks Harry, I'm sure you'll be fine.'
'But I've never been away from you for that long before! I'll die!'
'No you won't!' Caprice cried playfully, and crash tackled him to the ground, where they rolled around laughing.
~***~
'Shhh, I know that's Harry, and that looks very much like Caprice Jenkins in Slytherin.'
'But what would Harry be doing with a Slytherin? Especially that one!'
'She did save your life practically,' Ron said.
'You and Harry saved my life.' Hermione said stubbornly.
'No way! If Caprice hadn't shown up, who knows what would have happened.' The two Gryffindors turned back to the window where they saw Caprice and Harry rolling around on the grass play fighting.
'You and Harry would have finished off that Troll, she interfered.'
'I think she had good intentions because she did come after you,' Ron said. 'Give the girl a chance.'
'No! She is a Slytherin, she has Slytherin "pride", and she is the Right- Hand-Girl of none other than Draco Malfoy!' Hermione responded.
'You saw how she helped Harry,'
'You saw how she threw the Remembrall away from Harry when we had Flying lessons, and you see her tormenting Harry and us all the time.' Hermione protested. 'What are they doing?' She looked past Ron and out the window. Harry and Caprice appeared to be playing tag.
'Man, they look like they're having fun.' Ron mused.
'I'm confronting Harry about this as soon as he comes back inside!' Hermione complained, and folded her arms.
~***~
Harry and Caprice finished their game of tag, Caprice winning four games to three. The two best friends hugged goodbye.
'Thanks Harry, I always feel like such a little kid when I'm with you. I don't have to face reality, and I can just kick back and have fun!'
'Likewise.' Harry said, then he got very serious, 'Caprice, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, you've always been my best friend, helping me through tough times, and through happy times, but I don't think I ever really told you just how much I appreciate it.' Caprice smiled, and enveloped Harry in another hug.
'I know Harry, don't worry. Together we will get through the rest of the year.'
'We'd better get going, it's two in the morning, and I need to get some sleep.' Harry said after a few blissful minutes had passed.
'Okay,' Caprice said, almost sadly. 'Look, if I don't see you tomorrow, or get to say goodbye, you know that I'll miss you heaps.'
'I know Caprice. I'll miss you heaps more!'
'Nuh huh, I'll miss you more!'
'I'll miss you times infinity!'
'Okay, you win, but I'll only miss you by a teensy bit less!' Caprice grinned, and they walked back to the castle, holding hands.
~***~
Harry walked straight through the Gryffindor Portrait into a steaming mad Ron and Hermione.
'Uh oh.' He said meekly.
'That's right "uh oh"! Explain yourself Harry James Potter!' Hermione practically screeched. Ron folded his arms over his chest trying to look big and important.
'Explain what exactly?' Harry asked timidly, not wanting to aggrivate Hermione any further.
'Why you and Caprice Jenkins were outside in plain view rolling around, play fighting, hugging, laughing and having fun!' Hermione shrieked. Harry put his hands over his face.
'She's my best friend Hermione, and it's none of your business what I was doing with her! You shouldn't have been spying on me in the first place! You are the most untrustworthy people I have ever met! How could you sit there and spy on me and my best friend in the world?' Harry yelled back. Before either Ron or Hermione could answer, Harry stormed out of the Gryffindor Common Room and slammed the portrait behind him.
~***~
Caprice entered the Slytherin Common Room, only to find Draco Malfoy waiting for her. He was lounging on one of the many Slytherin seats, waiting patiently for her return. When he heard the wall click back into place, Malfoy jerked up.
'Where have you been this time, Jenkins?' He asked, jeering. 'I bet you weren't out stalking lonesome Gryffindors like you said last week, or trying to drown a doxie like the week before. The truth is long overdue, Jenkins.'
'I haven't been doing anything worthy of a confession to you, Malfoy.' She said coldly, looking directly into his silver-grey eyes. Malfoy seemed satisfied.
'Spoken like a true Slytherin.' He said before heading down the stairs to the boys dormatories.
Caprice sighed as soon as he was out of earshot. That was a close one, she thought, and went to bed.
