Chapter Three
Recap:
I opened the door…
End recap
I walked out of my cubicle to find Harry leaning against the wall, waiting for me. Somewhat, I took in every detail of him. From the way, his shaggy black hair would be messy, to his brilliant emerald eyes, dulled by Dad's passing, to the way he stood, to the way he would be absolutely breath taking, if he smiled. Then – he is already hot. WAIT JUST A PLUM SUCKIN' SECOND – why am I thinking about Harry's incredible hotness? OH MY GOD, my own thoughts have betrayed me. Why did I just think that? I can't possibly be crushing on him. I mean, Yeah, he's hot – but will he ever like me for the freak that I am
He looked at me as if to say Shall we? I nodded and we walked down the corridor. He suddenly stopped and pulled me into an alcove. "Ooh – being forward aren't we Harry," I say, making him blush. "No... Well, it is just, well. I want to apologize for being such a jerk just now. I just needed to sort out my emotions," he said. "Ah, well that's fine then. Went through the same thing," I said. He quickly kissed me on the cheek, leaving me there one hand on my cheek and the other holding my clothes.
I slowly made my way back to the compartment. I had a VERY silly smile on my face. "Ooh, what's this? Two people, of the opposite gender, both having smiles on their faces, one who NEVER smiles and the other who hasn't smiled since the beginning of summer," said Chloe. "Something happened," said Ron. "SPILL," yelled all four of them. "No. I am not spilling, besides um...uh...n-nothing h-happened," I stammer. This is bad. I only stammer when something happened and I am hiding it.
"Ooh, Roxanne is stammering. Roxanne NEVER stammers unless she's HIDING something," said Chloe. I turned away, so my sister would not see my face. "Roxxi is hiding something. TELL US," said Benji. "Well, since Roxxi won't tell, why don't we interrogate Harry?" said Chloe. Harry looks scared. "So...Harry, what happened?" asked Ron. Harry shook his head. "Seriously, Harry. Tell or we'll get Benji to interrogate you and Benji's a Beater and has those exceptional powers," Harry cowers in the corner.
I stand up, my hands crackling with not fire, but energy. "Don't threaten him, especially with your powers. I know we're blood relatives but still...You threaten when I say so," I growl. Everyone backs away when this happens. "Ah – Roxxi, if you haven't noticed, your eyes are pure black and you have energy globes in your hands," said Chloe. "Oh right – oops – sorry," I said, sitting down.
"What was that all about?" asked Ron. "You never told me you could do that," said Chloe. "How are you doing that?" asked Benji. "Seriously, I don't know. Mum was the source of most of our powers, and I know not much about Dad, except that he was a kind man. I just don't know," I said shaking my head. "All I know is that it happens when I'm angry or feeling STRONG emotions,"
After that, Hermione, Ron, Chloe and Benji went to change. "Don't do anything frivolous," said Benji. "Hah, like you haven't? Leave 'em alone," said Chloe grabbing his collar.
"So...We're in here...alone," stammered Harry. "Yeah, I can see that," I said, leaning back. He was still stammering. "Well Harry, please don't be scared of me. I don't bite, unless provoked," I say. He relaxed slightly. I turn and look at him. We just stare at each other for a good 10 minutes before the train lurched and I flew forward, crashing into Harry.
"Being forward, aren't we?" said Harry. "Oh shut up," I say standing up. We are in a heap on the floor and the four others come in. "Ooh, what happened here," says Chloe. "The frickin' train stopped, so I landed on top of him," I say. "Well, anyway. We should be on or way to the castle now," said Hermione.
