Bells from a near by tower rang as the Entrance Hall began to fill with the students coming back from their short Christmas Holiday break. Cindy and Harry waited for their friends to come up to the Gryffindor Common Room. Sitting on the couch, Harry held Cindy's hand, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. People started to come through the porthole, Cindy started out to where the mass of students were trying to spot Nikki and Hermione. She finally did they were at the end. She walked over to them.

"Nikki! Hermione!" Cindy yelled in joy

"Whoa, slow down now..." Nikki said

"Yeah you don't wanna jump too high with joy or you'll break something." Hermione laughed

"Very funny guys. Me and Harry have something to tell you both." Cindy said

"What is it?" They both asked

"Well you see..."Harry said

"Shut up Harry it's not like we got married or anything, you don't explain things well just be quiet and let me talk." Cindy said

"You know what that hurt." Harry said sadly

"Oh shut up you loser." She said slapping his arm playfully "Well anyway me and Harry are going out now."

"I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!" Hermione yelled

"Cool, that's awesome you guys!" Nikki said

They talked for a bit and Cindy went up to her dorm to go and write down the things that happened today. She got her diary from under her pillow. She began to write.

Dear Diary,
This is the happiest day of my life, I am not going out with Harry. Dimitri is old news now, I thought that I would have never forgotten about him. But I did and I am glad otherwise I would have never has this with Harry for once I am truly happy. Even if my parents are alive out there somewhere, I wish that they were here with me but they can't be. Harry makes me so happy. I wonder what it will be like going out with THE Harry Potter, okay now I am sounding like a fan girl...God no...anyway I better go Harry is taking me somewhere tonight. More later.
Love Always,
Cindy Richardson

She closed her diary and heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said

"Ready to go?" Harry asked

"Yeah just let me put this away." She replied

Cindy put her diary back under her pillow, and then went out the door holding Harry's hand. They went out the Entrance Hall door, Harry leading the way he took Cindy back to the tree.


"Dimitri, I really need you to go after her now, she needs her heartbroken more. She can't be happy." He said

"Yes Sir. But why?" Dimitri asked

"Her being happy, makes me SICK." He replied

"Now stop asking questions and GO, make her upset make her break."

"Yes sir." Dimitri said and left for Cindy.


They sat under the tree from Cindy's dream, she wondered why he'd taken her to this spot of all places.

"Harry, why'd you take me here?" She asked putting her head on his shoulder

"Because I saw this in my dream. I was under this tree when I was little. I was here with a girl. I donno what happened all that I know was that I was little and I was here with a girl. I didn't see her face, and I think this was a childhood memory. I have been having this dream for about two weeks now.

"It sounds like my dreams I have been having since I was about 14. But I already know who made the promise to me was, it was Dimitri, but I don't care about him anymore now that I have you, here by my side." She said happily.

Harry hugged her and gave her a small kiss. I still don't get it, maybe he say me. The dream is very similar. Same tree, and with another person. Nah, it can't be I already know it was with Dimitri I made that promise with. Harry didn't even say if he made a promise to a girl in HIS dream or whatever. He just said it was with someone, still I am having second thoughts about all this. Cindy looked at her watch, she told Harry that they should head off to dinner. They both got up from under the tree and walked to the Entrance Hall, then to the Great Hall for dinner. Cindy sat next to Harry and Nikki, still holding his hand. Dinner appeared at the table, and they stared to eat. After their plates were cleaned, Cindy told Harry she was going out for a walk alone, and that she'd meet him later in the common room. She walked out to the lake and sat down on a rock. This is nice, the stars are really pretty today, I am so happy. She thought. Just then she saw a figure coming towards her. It was Dimitri. She was stunned.

"Dimitri...what are you." She said

"It's alright I am here now." He said

He looked at her neck, he didn't see the locket, and then he looked at her finger not ring. He found the bracelet though.

"I have to tell you something, and something has happened." She said

"Where's our locket, and the ring?" He asked sadly

"That's what I am trying to tell you...I am not in love with you any more. I am tried of waiting for you to come back to me. I picked Harry. He is going to be here and protect me. He loves-" She was cut off because he'd slapped her in the face. She held the spot with her hand it was warm, and red.

"You said you'd love me forever. Now you broke our promise. Now you go off with that POTTER! You bitch you betrayed me. How dare you, I gave you my heart and all you do is throw it and rip it apart!" He yelled

Cindy just sat there trying to hold in her tears, she couldn't speak, and she thought this was a good day until he came. Everything was fine until he came.

"Who need this I am out of here, I'll just leave you to your misery."

Cindy was left alone to cry at the edge of the lake. She could have jumped and end all her suffering. She didn't just them someone grabbed her shoulder. It was...Harry. He kneeled to the ground with Cindy still crying. He embraced her. She held his hand. She had to tell him now, before she was going to regret it later.

"Harry...this is too hard for me. I need to break up with you. I can't find happiness in love or anything. I am so sorry, maybe one day when things are less stressful for me, we can be together but not now." She said crying

"Alright I will be waiting, but what happened to you?" He asked

"Dimitri came back...he smacked me, and told me I broke our promise."

"I see, let me take you back to the common room."

Harry took Cindy's hand, and took her back to the Gryffindor common room. She kissed him a final goodnight kiss and went to her dorm room. She took off her bracelet and put it in her trunk with her locket and ring.
