Harry tried to protest but Hermione held firm and he slowly made his way up to the Gryffindor common room. He sulked his way out of the Great Hall receiving very few looks, since they were all preoccupied with whatever they were doing. When he got to the Gryffindor Common Room, Calleigh was the only one there.
"Go away!" she sputtered, her cheeks glistening. "I-I know Hermione sent you up here. And I don't want to listen to something that you didn't think of!"
"Listen, I… er was a little harsh. Alright very harsh. But I am sorry," Harry muttered.
"Harry, I know you. You aren't sorry, not truly. You have no idea what I go through every summer. School is my escape, much like yours. When I am miserable at school, the whole year is basiclly miserable. I don't expect you to understand it completely, and truthfully – I don't want you too," Calleigh snapped.
"How am I supposed to know? You never tell me. It seems that Hermione knows more bout you then me!" he bellowed.
"I don't want you to know Harry. I just expect you to trust me, or at the very least let me explain the things I am willing to," she replied sobbing again.
Harry looked at Calleigh and felt terrible. "Explain then. But, I also want to know why you said yes to me and no one else."
About ten minutes passed before she was able to finishing the story of what had happened, bursting into tears at random intervals. He couldn't believe that Malfoy would go that low, and he suddenly felt very bad at how he had treated her.
"I'm sorry, Calleigh. I didn't know. I would have never expected him too – But are you going to tell me why you said yes to me, and no one else?"
At that moment Calleigh got up, and swept Harry up in a long, slow kiss. When they released Harry looked stunned, which made Calleigh laugh a little.
"That is why, Harry Potter," she giggled. "I better go to bed. See you tomorrow!"
Harry sat in the common room, for awhile until he heard people coming and decided that he should go to bed then to avoid any questions about what he was doing here. It took him awhile to get to sleep as he thought over what had happened. He didn't know if it would change anything, but he hoped not. As he drifted off to sleep she was the last thing he thought of.
The days went by, and Calleigh paid little attention to what was happening. She had so much to worry about she hardly noticed that Hagrid had been gone, which only furthered the tension between her and Ron. She just hoped that he wouldn't tell Harry.
Harry, of course, passed his next Tri-wizard tournament test and the next didn't come for a long time. They all had to wait for the twenty-fourth of June to come before the champion would be decided. The time passed slowly but it still kept them all very busy.
It had turned out that the third task was a maze and you had to be the first one to touch the cup. It was Harry and Cedric. After a series of screams erupting from the maze, Calleigh fainted and fell backward. People rushed to her side, not knowing what was going on.
Her spirit was taken far away. Calleigh went someplace dark, a graveyard. Wherever she had taken herself too, had been far away from Hogwarts. In the distance she saw Harry, and at her feet laid a Cedric Diggory, his body cold and lifeless. She felt a strange pull towards Harry.
The two seemed to be in the midst of a duel and Harry didn't seem to be going to well. In only a few moments a beautiful golden light erupted from the two wands when their spells had met in midair. Calleigh walked over as they became surrounded in a golden dome. She faintly heard Voldemort telling the surrounding death eaters to stay put.
When she got closer to Harry did she realize what was going on. Priori Incantatem. She couldn't believe that is was happening, it was so rare, very few wizards had even seen it, let alone heard of it.
She moved over to him urgently and whispered in his ear, "Don't break the connection!"
She didn't reckon he heard her, but she didn't care. But his movements made it seem like he had. There were large beads of light going from Harry to Voldemort's wand. The closer they came the harder it became to control. Slowly, how Calleigh didn't know, he started to move the beads closer to Voldemort. Once Harry had got one of the beads of light to make contact with Harry's wand, figures begin to appear.
First, came Cedric Diggory, an old man with a walking stick. They all gave Harry advice and comfort. Bertha Jorkins came next, and then a person that Calleigh had expected. Harry's father. No sooner had he came then Harry's mother appeared. She looked so beautiful that it took Calleigh's breath away.
"When the connection is broken, we will linger for only a few moments. But it will give you time. You must run and take Cedric's body back to his parents. But I out of respect to a visitor amongst us that you let one more person come," Lily smiled, looking right at Calleigh.
As she passed Harry, she brushed upon her arm and Calleigh felt a strange warmth that made her feel so happy. No sooner had Lily said it, then another person starting to come out of Voldemort's wand. Calleigh knew who it would be. She stared as a tall and slender figure of her mother came around. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.
"You have done well, Harry. You have grown so much from the little boy that used to play with my daughter. I wish you well," Emily said before drifting away.
When Harry had severed the connection and made it safely back through the Portkey, Calleigh was once again taken away. Back to a cold body, cold as death. But warmth started to fill her as she gasped for breath waking up in the Hospital Wing.
