The
next day I was taken home, as much as a home should feel when you
dont really remember it. When I entered to see the room I had to
admit I had good taste.
"This is my room?" Stacie
nodded.
"I like it"
"Of course, you were, after
all, the one who decorated it" I smiled as Draco put my stuff
away with his wand. He then picked me up and carried me to the
bed.
"I dont want to be in bed anymore" I complained
childishly as I held on to his neck.
"Alright where would you
like to go?" He was smiling.
"uh, dinner, how about I
get ready and we go to dinner?" I asked and kissed his
cheek.
"You convinced me, Ill be back in a few hours,
alright?" I nodded.
"Ill get ready" I said. "When
you put me down" I said and smiled.
"Oh sorry I jus like
having you close" I smiled. He put me down gave me a quick peck
and disappeared.
"Im going to get ready for our date" I
said smiling at Stacie.
"Okay then Ill be downstairs watching
the quidditch game" I smiled and hurried into the bathroom. I
dont think I had ever been so happy to see a bathroom with a bad tub
and colored towels. I took a long bath, soaking my skin in different
types of soaps and shampoos. I picked out a black dress with a little
of pink and nice high heels, I left my hair down and smiled. I liked
the way I look. It was the first time in almost two weeks that I was
wearing something besides those ugly hospital robes.
"Wow"
Draco said when he looked at me as I walked down the stairs, I
seriously felt like a princess. Of course he looked like a handsome
prince in a tux.
"Wow, back at you" I said smiling and
taking his hand. We walked out into the cold night and hurried into
the car.
"So where are we going?" I asked as he backed
up the car. He smiled.
"Youll see" I sat back and smiled
as we drove.
We arrived at a restaurant that looked familiar
somehow. I didnt say anything. I was still trying to remember the
place.
"Ill be right back" I said standing up and
heading for the bathroom. It was there that I remembered this place
and the walk in the park, talking to Oliver and the stars shining in
his eyes. His beautiful eyes. I walked out trying to keep my
breathing as steady as possible but I could feel my heart beating
quickly as I remembered the feel of Olivers leg brushing against mine
under the table.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah,
yeah, did you order yet?" He shook his head.
"I was
waiting for you "I smiled. We ordered and the waiter offered us
champagne as we waited.
"To us"
"To us" I
said and smiled.
We had a pretty mellow dinner, Draco was talking
mostly about me, telling me some things that happened during those 3
years and holding my hand on the table.
"I did tell you about
Oliver, right?" I asked, I didnt even mean to say that it just
slipped, I was wondering if I had told him about Oliver, back
then.
"Yeah, of course, wait, you remember that?" Oh
boy.
"Well yeah, some of it" His face sort of darkened
for a few seconds and then he squeezed my hand.
"Have you
seen him?" I swallowed.
"Well yeah, he-"
"He,
he went to see you didnt he?" I nodded and looked away.
"Ally,
what did you talk about?" I looked back at him and then down at
the floor.
"About things, you-"
"What things?"
"I, he makes me remember things, I feel, I dont know, but-"
"I cannot believe this, he said he would stay away from you"
"He did?"
"Yeah after this fight we had, you
were there,-"
"Draco, you know I dont remember this"
"Im sorry, I just, I get carried away when you mentioned
him, I get jealous" I squeezed his hand.
"I dont know
what happened but-"
"Lets just have dinner" I
sighed and nodded.
"Im sorry I ruined the dinner"
"You
didnt, I love you, you know that" I smiled and returned to my
food.
The rest of the night we talked and joked around and I
found myself falling for him again. I could finally see why I had
fallen for him. He was, indeed, a great guy and friend.
"Ill
see you tomorrow then" He said smiling and letting go of my
hand.
"Okay "I said smiling back and leaning in to kiss
him.
"Good night" I said and closed the door. When I
looked back I found Stacie crying, like never before, while watching
TV, tears seemed to be streaming down her face
"Stacie,
whats wrong?" She shook her head and tried covering her face but
the tears were falling down already.
"Whats wrong?"
"Its Harry"
"What happened with Harry, didnt
you talk to him?" She looked up, I stopped and smiled, I
remembered Harry but it wasnt the time to celebrate.
"What
happened, Stacie?" That when she broke down. She broke down,
crying.
"Hes well, hes hurt, something happened, he was
playing the game and he got knocked out and now they are saying hes
in danger of dying" I stopped.
"We have to go see him"
I said pulling her off the couch.
"Right now?" She asked
wiping her tears.
"Yes right now" I said and grabbed
her," We have to apperate, where is he?" She told me and we
both apparated to the hospital in London where Harry was.
We
arrived seconds later, I by the way felt sick. "They are not
going to let us in unless we are family" I shushed her and
walked toward a guy with red hair.
"Excuse me," The guy
turned and smiled.
"Ally, how are you, its so nice to see
you" I smiled figuring that I must somehow know him and the girl
with brown hair as well. Stacie came up beside me and smiled.
"How
is Harry?"
"They wont let us see him, only family"
"But we are" I said not really sure if we were or
not.
"Ally-" But before they could say anything I was
already walking towards the nurse.
"Hello Ms, Can I help
you?"
"Im here to see my cousin Harry" The nurse
smiled.
"Harry Potter, yes hes in room 65, you may see him
but it will have to be quickly" I smiled and walked back to
them.
"Im in, but I think Stacie should see him, if you dont
mind?" The all shook their heads and nodded.
"Go" I
said to Stacie, she smiled, gave me a hug, and literally ran to the
room
"Its
so good to see you again, how are your plans with Draco going?"
Hermione asked.
Something about her look when she said his name
made me get the idea that maybe they didnt get along or hadnt before.
"They are okay" I replied oddly.
I didnt know who they
were, and I sure as hell didnt remember them.
"Thats good to
hear" I stayed in silence, I observed them. Every detail of
them, trying to see if I could remember anything but nothing came to
mind. When Stacie finally came back I saw the tears that she had
tried so hard to clean up.
"How is he?"
"Hes
going to be okay" She said as I hugged her. I didnt know what
else to do, I felt so helpless because I knew that no words could
really help her.
"He will be, so stop crying, okay?" I
said trying to cheer her up.
"I know, Im trying its just that
he told me that he still loves me, that he missed me so much and that
hes so sorry for everything." I smiled.
"Im glad I said.
Lets go get some coffee you look like you could use some" She
nodded and followed me as we hurried to the cafeteria. After drinking
3 cups of coffee I felt more than awake.
"I should call
Draco to let him know, Ill be right back" I parted from
Hermione, Ron and Stacie, making my way outside and dialing his
number. When he didnt pick up on the third ring I gave up. But I
didnt feel like going back inside, I had just gotten out of the
hospital I didnt really want to be in there, so I leaned against the
wall and closed my eyes. I was trying to picture my life in a couple
of years with Draco, somehow I didnt see anything wrong with the
picture and still I feltIt wasnt actually what I felt, it was what I
wasnt feeling.
