Chapter two
Christa woke up with the sunlight in her eyes. The warmth felt so good after the storm. To Christa's surprise the sun faded away, the gray clouds had come back again. Then the sky began to rain once again. Christa sat on the edge of her bed, dropped her muscular legs, and let the cold hard wood floor touch her feet. She walked over to her dresser and dressed herself for breakfast.
Harry had already bear Christa to the Great Hall. "Good morning, Harry." "Morning Christa." "Professor Dumbledore, the other students are supposed to arrive today. Right?" Christa asked. "Yes they are, but they might be late though due to the storm." " But, Professor, has it been really that bad?" "Yes it has in fact, the trains were closed yesterday."
Harry and Christa finished breakfast and ran around the corridors of Hogwarts." They opened on door and tens of snakes came out, crawling on the floor. Harry's eyes narrowed, he was being pulled into a trance. Christa whispered something that cut straight through Harry's concentration. Slowly the snakes began to slither they're way back into the room. Christa's eyes darkened then the door closed. Harry was completely awestruck, his jaw dropped entirely. Christa blinked and turned to Harry, "Did I just do that?" "Yeah, I think so." He answered.
"Harry, please go back to the Gryffindor rooms. I'll be there soon." Christa said with worry. "But, why?"
"Because Harry I need to do something by myself. I'll be there in a few minutes, I guarantee it won't take long." "O.K," At that Harry walked to their rooms.
Christa took off running down the exact hallway to Professor Mcgonagall's room. She was sitting at her desk, "Professor, it happened again." " Christa breath, it's good you came to me though." "Well, what happened, did Harry see it?" She questioned. "Yes, Professor he did, well we were running down the hallways." "From my own curiosity, I opened a door." The Professor shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Honestly." "Then snakes and lot's of 'em came out of the room." "Christa said after noticing the reaction." "I said something I can't recall, and they went back into the room and the door closed." "Is that it?" "Yes, but will they find out?" "No, it wasn't that much." "Go back to the dorms, find something to do there." "Don't perform any magic, and please keep Harry with you." "Yes, professor." Then Christa took off sprinting back to the Griffindor Headquarters.
Harry was sitting on the couch and turned his head to see Christa's deep, dark, blue eyes. "Harry, Professor McGonagall told us to stay in here the rest of the day, she'll probly have someone send food for us." Harry nodded. Christa walked over and sat on the other end of the couch. "Oh, and we aren't to do ANY (emphinzing the word) magic." He nodded in response.
Harry moved to the center of the couch and Christa felt a blush creep upon her cheeks. Christa began breathing very heavy. "What did you back there?" "Harry, honestly I really don't know, either." He nodded again. She looked over to him and glanced a small smile. "Christa thinking Why do I get so happy when I'm around him………. There's something else about him………something that lets me forget my past and I just want to be around him." Harry chuckled at the silence. "What?" Christa whispered. "Oh, nothing at all, Christa."
Christa heard Harry's stomach growl, it was already 7:00, and they usually get their food by now. " Hungry, a little?" Christa sarcastically remarked. "Yeah." Harry responded with a node. There was a knock on the door and a servant with food and professor magonagal came through the doorway.
"The other students should not arrive today… the trains closed again, the lake around the perimeter is flooded completely… so you'll be alone once again and most of tomorrow." "Please leave the food on the table there, and we shall be on our way." The servant set the food down and they left.
Both ate in silence, when until they were done. "Harry I'll be back, I'm going to brush my teeth." She headed up the stairs and closed the door. Harry suddenly sprinted up the stairs to the boy's rooms and brushed his teeth and quietly dressed up. "Oh, why am I doing this I'm going to change into my pajama's later…there's something about Christa that sets herself different from Cho…I can actually talk to Christa and relate to her…maybe…I don't know I'll see if she feels the same way about me as I do her." Harry thought to himself.
Little did he know Christa was in her room doing the same things and thinking the same things? Harry ran down the stairs and sat on the couch while Christa didn't hear a thing. Christa put on the last bit of lip-gloss and walked out and down the stairs. "I feel like such a idiot." Christa thought to herself as Harry just stared at her. "Oh, my god, I don't know I'm doing, I thought I only felt this way with Cho, but this is something more that just a crush that broke my heart… Christa is different, or at least what I know…wait…I don't know too much about Christa… I shouldn't do anything…but…she… is just so…much like me. She understands everything..." Christa finished coming down the stairs, she was breathing heavy again. "I need to stop… this is insane… I bet he doesn't feel the same… no one else ever cared… but Harry is different, I feel like I can trust him… unlike to many others." " I'm only 16 am I'm thinking about kissing him all time or at least the time I've been around him." " Oh, no…I'm boy crazy…something I never wanted to be!" Christa thought as she walked across the room and sat in the opposite side of the room. Harry was sitting on the couch and she on the giant armchair. "See Harry, she doesn't feel the same way." He thought in his mind. As if Christa had read his mind she walked over and sat on the other end of the couch. "Um, is there anyone in Gryffindor I should look out for, like a bully?" "No, no one I can think of."
There was a pounding on the door. No one was supposed to be here! "Who is it?" Christa announced a strong tone while getting up. " Oh, me, no one, in particular." Christa didn't recognize the voice. "Answer the question, who are you?!" She said again. But, the person just stood there in the darkened doorway.
