Chapter 6: The Red Ribbon..

Inside the Gryffindor common room, Harry was doing his mountains of Potions homework that Professor Snape had assigned to him. He was given extra. He looked at his watch and wondered where was Emily. She was supposed to be back by now. He knows that she didn't have classes after one o'clock. He thought about his newfound sister. He thought about her dating Malfoy. His enemy, since his first year in Hogwarts. How could she possibly date him? Didn't she know that Malfoy is a mean mean cockroach? Ron was probably right. Maybe she had gone mad. It's not like he wanted to have full control of his sister's life, but dating Malfoy was something beyond his comprehension. Why can't she date someone else? Someone like Lee Jordan, perhaps? He knew that, Lee has been nursing a crush on her since forever. Harry loves her so much, he can't bear seeing her sad or crying. Suddenly he heard footsteps. Somebody's coming and that somebody was Emily. She was singing happily and look extremely cheerful. She saw Harry and went up to him. She hugged him tightly and gave him a peck on the cheek. "How are you, precious?" she asked. Harry felt strange. This morning, she didn't even want to look at him, because of last night, and now she acted like nothing had happened. He looked at her. Her smile unfurling, revealing her dimple. "I'm fine.." said Harry. Emily sat at her favourite place and started to do her homework. She wanted every single thing to be done before night falls. Harry noticed something strange. This morning, Emily had her hair pulled into a ponytail with a red ribbon. Now, her hair's no longer tied up, they fell loosely on her shoulder. "Emily, where's your ribbon?" he asked. Emily paused. She'd forgotten about her ribbon. Draco had it. "Err…uhm.. someone accidentally burned it. During Flitwick's class " she said. What a lame excuse, she thought, but that was the first thing that came into her mind. Harry was unconvinced, but he didn't want to spoil Emily's good mood. So, he decided to drop the subject. He's happy as long as Emily's happy. And, he would kill, if anyone crushed his baby sister's heart.

At Slytherine's, Draco was on his bed playing with Emily's ribbon. He smelled the ribbon. It smell just like Emily. Like roses. Thinking of her made his chest thumped faster. At that very moment, he vowed not to let her go. Even if her stupid brother got in their way, they will always be together. He smiled at the very thought.

A/N: I know this is very short… I'm sorry! But I'm really sleepy right now, and I can't think or write anymore. I'll try to update as soon as I can, before I have to go back to college next week.. sorry…
