: The Blessed: A Harry Potter Love Story –Chapter 7 – Pillow Fights/Wishing Something Would Happen/Truth Potions
3rd November, Friday
-Hannah's POV-
You awoke to Hermione's shrill singing... "Haaaannnah, tiiiime to waaake uuup," she sang. "HERMIONE," you shrieked and threw something at her. You threw your indestructible alarm clock. "Ouch, Hannah, it's 8.55 am! Lessons start in 5 minutes," she says. "WHAT!" you scream as you scramble out of bed. "Hannah, calm down. It's 7.00 am," she says, giggling. "You woke me up at 7.00 am just to sing in my ear? Hermione Jane Granger, you are so dead!" you screamed. You grabbed a pillow and began to whack her with it. "Ouch! Ouch! Hannah!" Hermione shrieked. You grinned evilly at her and continued your whacking spree.
-Harry's POV-
You woke to the muffled shrieks of Hannah, Hermione and the rest of 'The Pack'. "What is that?" said Ron. You listened close and heard something like, "You woke me up at 7.00 am just to sing in my ear? Hermione Jane Granger, you are so dead!" You snicker, Hannah wasn't really a morning person, you think. You get an idea and get your Firebolt. "Eh, mate. Where ya going?" says Ron. "I'm going to go stop Hannah from her rampaging. You should go save Hermione. Hannah seems to be directing her anger at her," you say.
You swing your leg over the broom and zoom to the Girls' Dormitory. Ron is on your tail on his Cleansweep 12. As you arrive, you survey the scene of the crime.
There are feathers everywhere. Remnants of faithful pillows lay scattered on the ground. Me: wow, I'm making it sound like a battle scene Hermione cowered in the corner as Hannah hit her repeatedly with her pillow.
Ron rushes over. He grabs Hermione and gets on the broom. "Herms, come," he said. Me: Ron, Improve your romance skills dude you grab Hannah from behind. "Hannah, I'm not going to let you go, unless you agree to not to whack Hermione," you say. "Who says I want to be let go?" she replies. "Ha-ha. I'm going to go shower. See you downstairs in 20 minutes," you say. "Okay, see you, lover-boy" she says. You blush.
-Hannah's POV-
You grab your school uniform as you go into the shower. After a quick shower, you put on your school uniform. Ugh, I hate this uniform. It's so restricting you think. "I wish this uniform looked more to my style," you say to yourself. Immediately the skirt is 4 inches above your knees, the shirtsleeves are rolled up and you have knee high white socks. Okay...that's weird you think.
You walked down to find Harry waiting for you. He tried to flatten his hair. Moreover, he failed. You walked over to him and shook your head. You messed up his hair. You unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt and loosened his tie. "You look great now" you say. He blushes...as usual. Sophie comes down. "Whoa, slow down there, kitten. Looking good now, as do you Harry," she says, winking at you as she walks through the portrait hole.
Dude, what was that? Moreover, your uniform altered, why? Says Sophie. Just making a few changes to Harry's uniform. Mine is altered, because well, I wished for it in the dorm and it happened, you say. Go see Dumbledore...Now! She screams. "Harry, I'm going to see Dumbledore. Go down to breakfast. If I'm not there in 10 minutes, come looking for me," you say.
You walk out of the common room and go up the winding way to his office. When you arrived at the stone gargoyle, you racked your brain for the password. "Um...sherbet lemon? Blood lollipops? Oh, damn it! Cockroach Cluster?" you yell. The gargoyle jumps aside at Cockroach Cluster. "Yuck...I was just kidding," you say as you get on the revolving staircase.
You walk to the oak door and knock. "Come in Ms. Sanchez," you hear him say. How does he do that? You ask yourself. "Well, Professor. You know about my Blessed powers right?" you say. "Of course," he replies. "Well...something weird happened today. I wished for my uniform to be altered, and it did," "Hmm... This is most confusing. I will call for you when I find any information," he says. You nod and go out.
You are almost at the Hall when Draco comes up to you. "My sweet, come with me and leave Scarhead behind," he says as he begins kissing you. He gives you some tongue and you close your eyes and push him away. "Draco Malfoy, you are so dead!" you scream. There is a blinding golden light and you glow slightly. He shouts "Hey! What is happening?" "Draco Malfoy, you got on the wrong side of me today," you say. Golden jets of light fly at him and he's on the ground writhing in pain.
You walk into the Hall, eerily aware of the silence and the gazes following you. Even the teachers were staring at you. "I can't eat under these circumstances," you say, storming out of the Hall, not bothering to walk over Malfoy but stepping on him. He makes a sound like a broken squeaky toy.
-Harry's POV-
You, as well as the whole Hall heard the screams coming from outside the Hall. Then they saw the golden light. Hannah storms into the Hall, she's still glowing a strong golden light. You stare at her. "I can't eat under these circumstances," she says. She storms out, now emitting an angry red light.
You rush after her and see Malfoy, half-dead on the floor. "Uh-oh. Hurricane Hannah was on the rampage," you say. You run after Hannah into the grounds.
"Hey Hannah," you say. She's sitting under the tree near the lake. "Hey," she replies. "Did I kill Malfoy back there? ' Because I don't want to be held responsible for his death," she says. "No, he's not dead. But he will be out of commission for awhile," you say.
You try to calm her down. "Hannah, it will be okay. Actually, everyone's happy you did that. I know I am," you say. "Harry…how do you do this to me?" she says. "Do what?" "Make me feel…I don't know safe and wanted. In my old school, I was never wanted by anyone," she says. "But I want you," you say. She puts her head on your shoulder. You shift slightly and pick her up, bridal style. "Back to the dorm for us," you say.
You carry her into the castle. Everyone is looking at you. "This is the second time you've carried me," she says. You can practically feel the glares of all the boys as you went up. Moreover, why wouldn't they? She's beautiful you think.
Fast Forwarding
-Hannah's POV-
You ran down to the dungeons. "Oh, damn it!" you said. You fall down and graze your knee. "Ow," you say. As you arrive, you sit down next to Harry and Hermione a split second before Snape comes in. "Sit down class, before I'm forced to deduct points," he says.
"We will be making a Truth Potion. It is milder than the normal Veritaserum potion but please, do be careful. You might find that this might just – he shakes the bottle – slip into your evening Pumpkin Juice," he says. He gives a particularly venomous glare at Harry who glares back.
I shall be separating you into pairs. "Ms. Granger, with Mr. Malfoy, come and sit here. Ms. Sanchez with Mr. Potter sit across from them. Ms. Mendez with Mr. Jacobs and …." He goes on. You move your stuff next to Harry's stuff. "So, you read the instructions and I'll get the ingredients," you say. You go off to get the ingredients. You turn around and you see Harry arguing with Malfoy. "Why would she ever want you, when she could have me?" says Malfoy. "Why would she ever want a piece of pond scum like you?" retorts Harry. "Enough!" you say. "Malfoy, shut up before I make you the Giant Squid's squeaky toy," you say. "Oh, I'm SO scared," he scoffs. Your eyes begin to glow slightly and your hands ball up into fists. "You should be scared," you whisper, pushing him away.
You sit back at your place and begin chopping some Ginseng Root. "Thank you for stopping me, I needed that," says Harry. You smile at him and continue with the rest of your ingredients.
After you finish, Snape comes up. "Now, you will test your potions on each other. It is very weak, so it should wear off after 30 minutes," he says. "Well here goes," says Harry. You and he drink down the potions. It tastes vaguely sweet. "So…ask away," you say.
"Well, how much do you love me?" he says. "So much. I couldn't bear to lose you. If I did, it would break my heart and tear me up inside. I would probably die for you," you gabble out. You clap a hand on your mouth and your eyes go wide. In addition, you blush. "That's alright. Your turn," he says.
"Um…What would you do if I died?" you ask.
-Sarah's POV-
You sat there behind and listened to Harry and Hannah who had to tell the truth to each other. Then you heard Hannah ask Harry, "Um…What would you do if I died?". You were shocked, you knew that Hannah had contemplated suicide once or twice, but you never knew that she cared about what Harry thought. She always said that Harry was the reason that she never jumped out the window.
You heard him say, "I would be devastated. Remember, I need you as much as the Earth needs the Sun. I would probably hit myself with the Killing Curse, just so that I'd be with you," You stared in shock. They weren't just two teenagers pretending that they understood love. They were serious.
They were like your two best friends. You couldn't bear to lose either of them. Therefore, if one went, the other did as well. "Oh damn," you say. You ultimately needed to keep them together and alive…
Sarah's Thoughts
I had better make sure that she does not jump out that window.
Yeah, you'd better. Otherwise, the world will end in chaos.
Who are you?
A random voice. Like a conscious. I've also been in Harry and Hannah's heads as well.
Oh. Okay. Shut up now.
Fine. ,but you're gonna start wishing I annoy you more.
You looked at them. They were nicely talking while they both were blushing. You leaned back. "Legilmens," you whispered.
Hannah and Sarah's conversation
Well, I think you shouldn't consider suicide anymore,
Sazz, what did I say about going into people's minds? Only I can do that.
Ha. Don't consider that possible.
I'm just kidding. Harry is so sweet.
I know. I listened in to your conversation.
Agh! Bitch. Not really, but you get my drift.
You got out of her mind and gave her a look. "Don't be dumb, Sanchez. You're not the only one with mind powers," you say. She glares back and says "Mendez, don't. Push. It. Remember Malfoy, or should I say, Ferret Boy," Malfoy hears this and glares at you both. "Whoa there, don't start a war, I don't want one between my one and only girlfriend – pulls Hannah closer to him and kisses the top of her head – and my one of my best friends – taps you on the shoulder." says Harry.
You snort and look at him. "Yeah, but if it was between me and her? Who'd you choose?" you ask, knowing that he still had traces of the truth potion. "Um…Ah…I'd choose Hannah, because I love her way more," he said, clapping a hand over his mouth. Hannah cheered while you gave him the raised eyebrow look.
Who'd know that one of the most powerful witches ever could steal the heart of the Boy-Who-Lived? No one suspected that would happen
