Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Natalie Torres and any other character not seen in the original Harry Potter series.

A/N: I have two things to say; One is that if you can speak and read Spanish and my Spanish sounds strange is because it's a Colombian accent and if it's spelled wrong is because I can't spell all that good in Spanish and two when I write Spanish if I don't translate it or tell what the conversation was about it's not important, but if you want to know what it says by all means go to some website or review and tell me if you want me to translate. Now on to the story. Enjoy!

Oh and I haven't told you yet. That means that Harry is going to the flashback and this with a place or date next it means I have skipped days or that they are now at that location. Sorry for not telling earlier I just forget to say things. Now for real on to the story. Enjoy!

Lovely Confessions

Harry couldn't help but smile. That kiss meant a lot to him. It didn't matter to him if it wasn't the same cliché romantic kiss that other people have and he tries to forget the little incident after the kiss, but other than that it was a special moment. Even now Harry couldn't believe he did that. It wasn't like him to be so brave and do something like that but he just couldn't take it anymore. As a matter of fact with Natalie( Harry had a hard time saying Natalia so she told him to call her Natalie) he did things he never would have imagined he would have done with Cho no matter how much he thought she was pretty or how much he liked her. No matter how much Harry liked ( and he still did not as much as before though) Cho loved Natalie and that would never change. He would never exchange Natalie for Cho or cheat on Natalie even if his life was in danger. He couldn't imagine being with another girl that wasn't Natalie, he loved Natalie more than anything in the world.

Loved her. Harry's told her he loves her more than a human can count, but when was the very first time? Harry sat their thinking until he whispered,

"Of course!"

After the famous and unforgettable kiss Harry and Natalie have gone on dates without actually admitting they were dates. They went as "friends." During their encounters Harry found out a lot about Natalie both big things to small things like what she likes. One of the big things was that she didn't have biological parents with her. She was adopted when she was a baby. She was told and it was the truth that her mother had her at a very young age because her mom whether Natalie liked to hear it or not was easy. Her mom had her when she was about 14 and then sent her to an adoption center with no second thoughts. Natalie fortunately was adopted by people in her own home Colombia and they treated her as if she was their own. Along with two loving parents she got a loving older sister just five years older. Another big thing was why she was in England.

Natalie was adopted at a very young age she wasn't even a toddler. Her biological mother was from Colombia so naturally her adoptive parents were Colombian. Natalie was dropped on their door step completely naked and she looked very sick, she almost died, but after her adoptive parents knew she would be alright they adopted her. Natalie's adoptive parents didn't have the life of the rich. Quite the contrary. Her parents had to work really hard just to take care of Maria Luisa her sister but now that they have her, her adoptive name being Maria Natalia Torres they have to work twice as much as they originally did, but Natalie wasn't a disturbance either. Anyway they didn't live good and Natalie's adoptive father was in the army and that didn't really give them that much money. Her adoptive mother was a tailor, but was only a tailor when somebody asked her to sew something but that wasn't very often so when she wasn't sewing clothes she was out working in a restaurant with low wage. Her sister at only 13 was working and not studying with her mother at the restaurant also with low wage and Natalie only 8 worked also at the restaurant and she worked hard cleaning houses nearby working at the restaurant and she was just a child who should be studying and playing. Her adoptive fathers cousin was a general of an army in England. He found out about their suffering so he sent them to England to live a better life and they definitely do. Her father wins much more money at the army in England and her mother is now a professional tailor with her and her sister now being home schooled and they are learning at the same pace both of them starting at a 5th grade level and putting some important things in from all the other grades. Harry was really impressed with her how she suffered and still had a smile on her face.

Harry's birthday was tomorrow and Natalie was taking him somewhere where he would have the time of his life. Harry had declined Ron's offer to go to his house just so that he could spend time with Natalie if only for a little while more, he would besides have a lot of time with Ron when he went to school.

The plan for tomorrow was that he just wore something comfortable yet some what dressy and wait. He didn't know what she was planning but he kind of trusted her. She was strange by the way, but until tomorrow he would just have to wait.

Tomorrow

It was the afternoon and Harry decided to get changed. He got into regular blue jeans which were very big on him so he put on a black belt then he put on a white wife beater then a button dark blue dress shirt. He waited for 30 minutes checking his wand feeding his owl looking out the window then he laid on the bed until he heard the bell ring. He shot his head up and he raced down the stairs. He answered the door and it was Natalie. She looked amazing. She had her hair in a ponytail for one, with two strands that framed her face. She was wearing a red tank top that was tight on her stomach and showed off her chest. She was wearing tight dark blue jeans that complimented her already nice curves and red high heeled sandals . She was wearing make-up but in Harry's opinion she really didn't need it at all. When Harry answered the door Natalie had a big smile on her face and that put him in a better mood than he was in before but as always something always has to interrupt his good mood.

"Who is it Potter?," said Dudley who had just come out of the kitchen the sides of his mouth had crumbs on them. When Dudley looked at Natalie he said,

"Well, Well, Well what is a beautiful lady as yourself doing talking to the likes of him, come in come in!"

Natalie did as told and said with a disgusted look in her eyes,

"I'm not here for a visit I just came to pick Harry up"

Dudley nodded his head and went back to the kitchen. As Natalie and Harry were about to step out the door Uncle Vernon came in with Dudley and Aunt Petunia close behind.

"Potter you come back in here!, you're not going anywhere you've disobeyed me enough times this summer and were all dieing of hunger!," said Uncle Vernon with a deep and eerie tone of voice. Just as Harry was about to open his mouth to say something Natalie spoke up and said,

"Sir not to interrupt in family matters, but I think Harry is old enough to go out and your whole family is old enough to cook for themselves!"

"Girl this is none of your business so just leave Potter alone and go to wherever you came from," snapped Uncle Vernon. He noticed the thick accent in Natalie's voice so he figured she was definitely not from England. Harry was tired of it tired of it all. They never let him do whatever he wants NEVER, but worst of all his uncle just insulted the women he loves. He was again about to speak but Natalie spoke first,

"Look sir his first name is not Potter it's Harry so learn it and second of all Harry's coming with me whether you like it or not so suck it up." Aunt Petunia looked shocked but was still quiet until she shocked everyone and said,

" You dirty little girl you watch your mouth, now why would anyone ever want to go anywhere with you?" Natalie looked as if she was just slapped on the face. She was so mad she didn't even know what she was saying so she said,

"Grandma your not even half the women I am so you watch your little old mouth!" Everyone was shocked at what she said even Natalie, but that didn't stop Natalie from grabbing Harry's arm and taking him out side while shutting the door hard. Harry was still being pulled by Natalie and he looked in front of him only to see a limo. Natalie pulled him all the way to the limo and turned around still grabbing his hand. She put a smile on her face and said really loud,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!" She let go of his hand and instead hugged him really tightly. Harry couldn't breath but smiled and managed to choke out,

"Thanks, but if you want to give me a gift please let go!" Despite Harry wanting to be hugged he wanted to live to see her.

"Oh sorry, well come on in," she said kind of embarrassed. She opened the door to the limo and gestured for him to go in. Harry instead grabbed her hand and held the door for her to go in. She smiled and went in. Harry followed her in. As soon as the driver knew they were both in he drove off.

"So where are you taking me?" Harry had been asking that question for a long time and Natalie had always answered "you'll see" and right now was no different. Harry just sighed and laid back in the beautiful limo and just started to think about what he was going to do later that day while Natalie just stared out the window.

During the time Harry and Natalie had gone on their friendly dates Harry had grown more fond of Natalie to the point that he couldn't stand being without her and every single day he grew to love her even more. He always tried to tell her but it would never come out of his mouth. He knew if he didn't tell her now he probably wouldn't do it ever. So he decided to tell her tonight even if she rejected him because he couldn't take it anymore.

Natalie was staring out the window. The sun was setting and the light was making her usually dark eyes look lighter. She was thinking about two things. The first thing was about Harry. She had never felt like this about any other boy. Only him. She liked him a lot but didn't know if she actually loved him. She had never felt love before so she really wouldn't know. She never had a boyfriend before. Many boys asked her out but there were two reasons of why she never had a boyfriend. One was that she never had time for a boyfriend with trying to make money and trying so hard to study and two many of the men were only interested in her because of the way she looked, but Harry was different it look as if he were only interested in her figure or face. Then again she didn't even know if he was interested.

Before they knew it they had arrived at their destination. Natalie immediately turned around and smiled at Harry who smiled back. Natalie grabbed his hand once again and took him out of the limo. Harry looked at where they were and they were in a place called

El Ritmo Latino

Natalie went straight in with Harry. Once they were in Harry looked around and the music was pounding in his ears and a lot of people were dancing and a few were eating and drinking.

"Umm… Natalie what is this place?" Natalie didn't respond instead she sat at a table for two and Harry followed her and sat. Natalie ordered food and they just sat their. Natalie said as soon as she ordered the food,

"This is a club, a Spanish club and I brought you here because I don't think your ever going to have a better time than you are going to have here!"

Harry smiled and said,

"Well are you going to teach me how to dance to this music?"

Harry had noticed that he didn't recognize this music and that he didn't know how to dance either. One song people were dancing very fast and moving their legs and hips and Natalie said they were dancing salsa. Another girls were grinding on the guys and Natalie said it was called reggae ton. She also mentioned others like merengue, bachata and punta. She said she would teach him all of them as soon as they ate and went onto the dance floor. The food came and it tasted great. First it was soup then rice and beans with meat and Harry had never tasted something so good. Harry knew that as soon as they were done eating they were going to dance and Harry wasn't much of a dancer.

"Ok now lets go and dance gringo!" Natalie pulled Harry from his chair and pushed him to the dance floor were many people were dancing. They tried to make space on the dance floor and Natalie started teaching him bachata. It was fairly easy but then a thing call salsa came on and it was really hard. He had to move a lot and Natalie had to lead him through the whole thing and he got the hang of it and as soon as he did some music that he remembered as reggae ton came on. Natalie taught him how to dance that to and the guy had a fairly easy job in that. Harry was amazed at how Natalie danced reggae ton. Then some punta came on. Natalie went on the tips of her toes and started to move really fast. Natalie taught him how to dance that to. He got the hang of it although he felt rather silly. Both of them danced the night away until Natalie told them to go back to the table. They both went to the table and Natalie told him to wait there. Harry waited for a while until he heard the music go off and the DJ started talking,

"Oye today we have a very special guest. Give it up for Harry Potter who's turning 17 today!"

A red light went directly onto him and people started clapping and the Spanish version of Happy Birthday came on. Natalie appeared at the table. She had a cake in her hand that said,

Feliz Cumpleanos Harry! (Happy Birthday Harry!)

"Happy Birthday Harry"

Harry was really touched by what she was doing and it was all for him. Nobody had ever done something for him like that. He fell more in love with her at that second.

Harry and Natalie ate cake danced and before they knew it they were in the limo driving to Harry's house. Harry didn't know if that was the perfect moment or not. He kept thinking about it until they had arrived at his house.

"Ok were here Harry!"

Harry didn't know what to do except to tell her,

"Actually Natalie I have to tell you something"

"Ok"

Harry gulped. This had been the hardest thing he's ever had to done. Even harder than fighting off Voldemort who incidentally still wasn't dead.

"Are you gonna tell me Harry?"

"Yea" Harry gulped and looked straight into Natalie's beautiful eyes and began,

"Well Natalie how do I say it, the first time I saw you I really didn't like you, you were annoying and whiny and-"

"I get it"

"Oh sorry, well you get the point, but I wanted to see you again and I did and since then we've been going out as friends, but I haven't exactly seen you as a friend no not at all, well see what I'm trying to say is…is…"

Natalie got really impatient and said,

"Would you just say it already I'm getting impatient, don't leave me hanging!"

Harry got mad at how impatient his new found love is and screamed,

"Ok you impatient little muggle you want to know what it is, well here it is I LOVE YOU, I LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME THERE GO THERE IT WAS YOU HAPPY NOW?"

Natalie was shocked. You could see it in her facial expression. Luckily she didn't catch the muggle thing. She didn't know what to say. Nobody had ever said that to her except when obsessed men were drunk but this time Harry really means it. Usually Natalie always knew what to say but now she was completely blank.

Harry stared back at her and said in a softer tone,

"I'm sorry but I've been in love with you for a long time and I couldn't take it anymore." Natalie was still wordless. Nevertheless Harry gave Natalie a kiss and Natalie didn't respond to the kiss. Harry had to feel her lips on his one more time because he feared this would have been the last time. Harry climbed out of the car and said,

"I had to tell you even if you rejected me although I tried not to think of that but everything bad happens to me so why should this be any different?" Harry closed the door and went up to his house looked at the limo and went inside. He went up to his room ignoring rude remarks from his half asleep uncle. He closed the door to his room and a single tear slipped from his eyes. He climbed into bed without changing and went to sleep sorrow filling him.

Natalie had just told the driver to go to her house which wasn't that far away at all. She was still shocked and her eyes were still wide open her jaw still wide open.

"Did he just say that, did he really just say he loved me?" she thought. They had arrived at Natalie's house and Natalie paid the limo driver and went inside. She said good-night to her mom and dad and went into her room. She heard wings from outside her room and went inside. She looked out the window and saw an owl far away. She quickly went to close the window because she was scared of birds although she doesn't like to say it. She turned around and saw a single white rose in the middle of her bed and then all over her bed were red rose pedals. It looked absolutely beautiful. She walked over to it and saw a white box next to the white rose. She opened it and saw a beautiful golden locket she took it out of the box and opened it. There was a white-ish light coming from it and saw that it projected an image of a very gold flower and coming from the necklace was beautiful music.

"Who's this all from?"

She looked down at the box and saw a note. It said,

Natalie,

I saw this and immediately thought of you. It projects a beautiful golden rose but not nearly as beautiful as you. By now you probably already know how I feel for you. I love you and whether you rejected me or accepted me I want you to wear this. It probably looks beautiful on you.

Love always,

Harry

P.S: Please don't ask how I did this it doesn't matter.

Natalie closed the locket and started to cry. She was thinking about what she did. She was going over her feelings for Harry and realized she loved him too. He's been there to listen to her and he's not only interested in her body. Somebody who's looking at her might think she only just found out she fell in love with Harry because he bought he a golden necklace. That's not true. Natalie had been thinking about it for some time now but she didn't know if he actually meant it. This proved that he felt strongly for her. Natalie cried so much that her make-up came off. She let her hair down and put a black ECKO RED jacket on and put on her black PHAT FARM sneakers on and ran out the door. She ran down the street and then started to walk fast. Then she ran again. The whole time she was thinking that she had to tell Harry how she felt. She had to tell him that she loved him too with all her heart. She couldn't wait for later today( It was two in the morning).

She arrived at Harry's house and paused. She then rung the doorbell while she was out of breath. Nobody came to the door so she started knocking really hard. She heard somebody come down so she waited and knocked one more time. Harry's Uncle Vernon opened the door and said,

"Silly girl do you know what time it is, OUT GET OUT!"

Harry was sleeping when he heard his uncle scream. He shot up and put his ears to the door. Then he heard angels sing,

"Sir I know what time it is and I'm really sorry, but I need to talk to Harry"

"Girl you will never see that boy again I'll never let you see each other again GET OUT"

"NO I won't get out, HARRY HARRY I HAVE TO TALK YOU!"

Natalie started to scream Harry's name and Harry ran out his door to see what she wanted. He was shocked to see Uncle Vernon grabbing Natalie by the hair and pulling her out but Natalie didn't give up and still called Harry's name.

Harry went down the stairs and knocked Uncle Vernon's hand off of Natalie's hair. Uncle Vernon looked at Harry as if he were just punched. Harry started yelling at Uncle Vernon,

"Don't you ever touch her ever again I want to talk to her and you have no right to say those things to her"

"You boy I've kept you in this house for so long and taken all these insults but that's it I want you out!"

"You know damn well that you have to keep me here or else you know what"

Uncle Vernon looked very offended and went back inside. Harry turned to look at Natalie with her beautiful hair down and her natural beauty showing. Natalie gave him a weak smile and said,

"Harry I'm so sorry I didn't respond earlier I was so taken aback and I wasn't sure if you actually meant what you said but this proves it" She shook the necklace she had in her hand.

"I can't believe you didn't know I meant it, but so you can make sure I'll say it again and a million times more I love you with all my heart."

"Harry I didn't say this before and I never had said this before but, Harry I love you too and with all my heart I just wasn't sure if I really was in love, but now I know that I love you more than imaginable."

Harry smiled the widest smile he's ever given. Natalie smiled while tears started coming out. Harry came closer to her and kissed her very passionately. Even though she was crying she still looked as beautiful as ever. After the kiss they hugged and Harry put the necklace on Natalie's neck then walked her home. They had a good night kiss and Natalie said,

"Now how am I going to go to sleep with all those flowers on my bed?" They both laughed and Harry went home with joy that couldn't be brought down by anything.

Ok I'm done! Muchos besos Chao!

And to all you ppl who don't know what Harry was talking about when he said you know what he was talking about the ppl from the so called "Order". They threatened Vernon to make Harry stay there. And how those flowers got there? Harry made his owl put all that there as to say his owl made a lot of trips.

Pues Chao! R&R
