Arora::Jumps up and heads upstairs:
Ron::Points his wand at Harry's ankle,healing it::Learned THAT from Hermione...::throws his clothes to him::You'd better change in the bathroom down here.
Harry:Why?
Ron:Because...Fred and George are about to tick Hermione and Arora off...they aren't going to be happy and will probably trample anybody who tries to stop their
angry rampage.
Harry:Point taken...::grins as he heads into the bathroom,stopping for a second to remember the feel of her lips against his own.He goes in and changes and reamerges
in dry clothes 10 minutes later to shouts and crashes upstairs::Aren't your parents here?
Ron:Nope,they just "happened" to go to Romania...leaving us here by ourselves for the rest of the summer!
Harry:Great!::"Now maybe I can sort out my true feelings for Arora:
::The next night:
Arora::Runs silently outside in her pj's and falls down beside a tree crying and clutching a letter in one hand::No...mum.
Harry::Was awake when he heard someone pad down the hallway and open the back door.He went outside and immeadiatly ran to Arora's side when he saw her on
her knees::What's wrong?
Arora:Nothing...just...go away.
Harry::Kneels down beside her and lifts her face up to look at him::Why're you crying?
Arora:It's nothing...Harry,i'm fine...go back inside.
Harry:Does it have something to do with that letter?
Arora::Puts the letter behind her back,but not quick enough and Harry grabs it from her:
Harry::Reads down and as he finishes he puts the letter down and looks at her::Arora...i'm so sorry.
Arora:Don't be...I don't need anyone's sympathy...my mum's dead...so be it...i'll live...::wipes the tears roughly from her face:
Harry:Arora...don't be that way.
Arora:I can be anyway I want to be thanks.
Harry:Arora...I know exactly what you're feeling right now.
Arora:Really?You were too young to remember your parents...I on the otherhand grew up with mine!You have no idea how I feel!::stands up:
Harry::Stands back up and looks at her angrily::Well,sorry if I tried to be your friend and understand...::starts walking off:
Arora::Grabs his hand and looks at the ground::I'm sorry...I didn't mean that.
Harry::Turns around and looks at her.He walks in front of her and holds her::I know Arora.
Arora::Cries into his chest silently:
Harry::Strokes her hair with one hand while the other holds her tightly::Shhh...it's ok.
Arora:I miss her so much...I didn't get to say goodbye.
Harry:I know...and I know it hurts too...but,I promise it'll be ok.
Arora::Looks up at him::You think so?
Harry:I know so...i'm living proof...just last year I lost my godfather...and I watched him,like it was in slow motion.
Arora:Fall through the veil.
Harry:How'd you know?
Arora:I was there...that was my last assignment,to stop you and your friends from getting that prophocey.
Harry:I never saw a young girl though.
Arora:That's because I didn't do my job...I stood back and watched the whole thing happen...and when I saw you hit the floor in front of Voldemort,I decided I
was following the wrong side and I quit.
Harry:Oh.
Arora:I'm sorry.
Harry:Don't be...everything happens for a reason...and I suppose there's a reason for me meeting you too huh?
Arora:Suppose so...::pulls away from him gently and sits down underneath the tree:
Harry::Sits down beside her and looks up at the sky:
Arora::Looks at him::I guess I can turn to you whenever I have a problem then huh?::smiles:
Harry::Looks at her and smiles::Always.
Arora::Looks up at the stars and sighs:
Harry:Something else bothering you?
Arora:Not really...I just haven't been able to get yesterday off of my mind oddly enough.
Harry:Me either...it was quite interesting...and the way we topped the day off was even more interesting.
Arora:You talkin about us in the rain or that kiss?
Harry:Both I suppose.
Arora::Breathes in deeply and coughs::Do you smell smoke?
Harry::Sniffs::Yeah,acually I do...that can't be good!::they both get up quickly and bolt inside and upstairs to see smoke coming from Fred and George's room:
Arora::Opens the door and backs up coughing as smoke billows out::What in the world?!Fred!George!
George::Him and Fred sit in front of a broken cauldron,their hair singed in places and their faces black with sut from the explosion:
Harry:What were you 2 trying to do?Built the next atomic bomb!
Arora::Helps Fred up while Harry helps up George.She waves her hand over the mess and it disappears,as well as the smoke:
George::Coughs and a smoke ring issues from his mouth:
Arora::Giggles::Scrougify...::cleans both boys up::There...now,tell us what you 2 were up to.
Fred:We were just working on a new invention for the shop and George put his bloody head too close,got hair in it,and it exploded...wait a minute...what're you 2
doing up?
Harry:We heard the explosion of course!
George:Sure you did...I bet you 2 were off snogging somewhere.
Arora and Harry:WE WERE NOT!
Fred and George:Sure...that's what they all say.
Hermione::Her,Ron,and Ginny all come running into the room::What's all the yelling about?People are trying to sleep!
Arora:Sorry guys...we smelled smoke and-
Fred:Ahha!So,you DIDN'T hear an explosion!You smelled smoke!Which means you 2 had to have been somewhere else besides in bed!
Harry:Yeah,but we weren't off snogging mind you.
Ron:Then,what WERE you doing?
Arora:Talking...::walks out of the room and into her,Hermione,and Ginny's room:
::The next morning:
::Hermione,Ginny,and Arora are down in the kitchen making breakfast,music blaring,with a silence barrier around them and the stereo:
Arora::Turns the eggs over as she and the other 2 sing to what was playing on the stereo::Cause i've fallen,head over heels.
Hermione:I've fallen,in love with you.
Ginny:I've fallen,and I can't get up,don't wanna get up,because of love.
Harry::Him and Ron walk downstairs,but instantly hide behind the stairs when they see the girls cooking and he puts up a silence barrier around him and Ron too:
They must have their own silence charm...are they...singing?
Ron:Probably...ever since Arora brought that new stereo here,they've done it every morning that they can get up before the guys...they're pretty good...wanna hear?
Harry:Definately!
Ron::Points his wand at their barrier and shatters it,unknowingly to them of course::There.
Harry:Whoa.
Arora:Cause i've fallen,head over heels,i've fallen,in love with you,i've fallen,and I can't get up,don't wanna get up,because of love.
Ginny::They're working on making some dough for biscuts now and before long,the flour starts flying:
Hermione::Throws some at Arora:
Arora::Throws some at Ginny:
Ginny::Picks up a whole bag and magically dumps it on both Hermione and Arora:
Arora::They all laugh::Ginny!Did you have to use the WHOLE bag?
Hermione:Yeah!Now me and Arora look like ghosts!
Ginny::Is laughing so hard she didn't see Arora float a whole bag on top of her and drop it::Hey!
Hermione and Arora:Got cha back Ginny!
Harry:I think i'm starting to like this!
Ron:Well,this is the first time they fought with flour...usually,it's cold water.
Harry:That'd be nice too.
Ron:Harry!::elbows him::You dirty dog!
Harry::Laughs::Like you wouldn't like to see that happen!
Ron:Well,I don't voice my opinion!::grins:
Harry::Laughs::You just did!
Ron:Well,you made me!
Harry:Sure I did!
Ron::Reaches behind him while they're arguing and grabs a jar of honey::You did!::pours it all over him and runs for it:
Harry::HEY!!!!!::breaks the silence barrier and runs after him::This is sticky Ron!
Ron::Laughs:
Arora::Her and the girls just watch the guys chase each other out of the door,Harry covered in honey.Once the chase ends up in the backyard,they go to the
backdoor to watch::Did you see them earlier?
Ginny and Hermione:Nope.
Arora:Hmmm...::floats a bucket of cold water out into the yard and waits on Ron to run under it:
Ron::Finally runs under it and it comes pouring down on him::COLD!
Arora::Her and the girls crack up in laughter:
Harry::Laughs hysterically::Now,that's what I call payback!!!!::looks over and sees Arora:
Arora::Their eyes meet and she smirks::You can thank me later!!!!Until then,go get washed off!Honey messes up your hair really bad!
Harry:Alright then!::walks back over to them and is about to go into the house,when he wipes a bit off of his neck and smears it all over Arora's face::And you can
thank me later too!::runs off:
Arora:Guess i've gotta get a shower now too!
Ginny:I'd go get even if I was you...worry about a shower later.
Arora:I think that's a great idea!::runs back inside and upstairs where she jumps on Harry's back::Whoohoo!
Harry::Grabs her legs and spins her around::Hey,who said you could have a piggyback ride?
Arora:Nobody!I just thought you could use the exercise!
Harry:You're getting flour all over me!
Arora:Good!::tries to pull back from him,but discovers a problem::Uh oh.
Harry::Stops::What now?
Arora:We're stuck together!That honey's too sticky!
Harry:Well,that ISN'T good,now is it?
Arora:NOW what're we gonna do?
Ron:I always reccomend the cold water bath!::dumps a bucket of ice cold water on them:
Arora and Harry:RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS COLD!
Arora::Jumps off of Harry::Well,it DID unstick us...but,now we go Ron killing!
Ron:Uh oh!::runs for it again:
::That afternoon,after everyone was cleaned up and after breakfast:
Arora:And praytell Ron,where are Gred and Forge?
Ron:THEY will be staying at their shop for 3 days to finish up a secret product of theirs.....meaning,once we get rid of Ginny,we can have some REAL fun!
Ginny:WHAT?!?!::whacks Ron over the head::You ain't gettin' rid of me!!!!!!And besides,if I left you 4 alone,there's no telling what might happen!
Harry and Ron:What's THAT supposed to mean!
Ginny:I think you both know EXACTLY what I mean.
Hermione and Arora:They would NOT do anything of the sort!
Ginny::Laughs:
::A black owl pecks at the window:
Arora:Trinity!::jumps up and opens the window,the owl flies onto her shoulder and puts its leg out::What's this?::gets it off of Trinity's leg,he flies off,she shuts
the window,opens the letter,surprizingly,she reaches in to get a letter and she pulls out a single blood red rose::Wow...I wonder who sent this?::reaches back in and
gets the letter out and reads it:
Hermione::Her and Ginny run over to read it over her shoulder and squeal in happiness::You've got a secret admirerer!Wonder who he is?
Ginny:Perhaps somebody from her past?
Hermione:No,I doubt that...usually it's somebody that the person either just met or met sometime recently.
Harry::Gets up and goes upstairs:
Ron::They all watch him curiously::What was THAT about?
Arora:I...have no idea...but,i'm going to find out...hold this...::hands the stuff to Hermione and Ginny and walks upstairs,knocking lightly on Harry and Ron's bedroom
door::Harry?Can I come in?
Harry::Is laying with his face in his pillow,and doesn't say anything:
Arora::Goes in and shuts the door behind her,leaning against it as she does so::Harry?What's wrong?
Harry::Still doesn't say anything:
Arora:Harry...::walks over and sits beside him::Talk to me...please?
Harry::His reply is muffled,but she heard it::No.
Arora:Why not?Is this about that letter?
Harry:No...can't a guy go into his room without getting hounded with questions?
Arora::Stands up,shocked at the tone he took with her::Fine...I won't bother you anymore!::storms out,slamming the door behind her:
Harry::Turns over and sighs frustratedly::Why do I care what that letter said?Why do I care that someone else likes her?
Ron::Had came up after Arora came back down in a bad mood and heard what he said.He walks in and shuts the door::Well,I suppose that's your real question...why
do you care at all?
Harry::Sits up and runs his fingers through his hair::I don't know Ron!If I knew that,i'd already have the answers I want!
Ron:Calm down mate...if it's any consolation,I think she's having the same problem as you...take a look in the backyard.
Harry::Looks over his shoulder and out the window at Arora,who's sitting in a tree,in a heavy thinking session::That doesn't prove her problem is the same as mine.
::looks back at Ron::Tell me something...how'd you feel before you 2 got together?
Ron:How'd you know that?
Harry:She told me,now,you tell me that.
Ron:I suppose I felt...kinda helpless...because I didn't know if she'd accept or not...and maybe a bit jealous when other guys went around her...and like my world
would end if she rejected me.
Harry::"That's almost what I feel...except...i'm all blurry......."::Oh.
Ron:Why do you ask?
Harry:Just wondering...can I...be alone for awhile?
Ron:Sure...see you in a bit....::leaves the room and shuts the door behind him:
Harry::Lays back on the bed and sighs::
