Chapter 10

Sadie felt everything around her stop, except for her heartbeat. He grew louder and faster every second. She leaned in and kissed Harry. It was all she could do, she was unable to speak. It was different from when she had kissed Draco, yet she couldn't explain why. It felt right when she had kissed Draco, but kissing Harry felt completely different. It seemed to be forever until they broke apart, neither really wanting to.

"I love you too" she was finally able to say. He kissed her again. Everything ceased to exist. Nothing was real. The only sound was the beat of their hearts. Harry held her in his arms for hours, until they had finally fallen asleep.

"Oi!" someone yelled. Sadie woke up and saw Ron, staring at her shocked. Then she had realized that her and Harry had fallen asleep in the chair together. They both jumped up.

"Morning Ron. What time is it?" Sadie asked, as non-chalantly as she could.

"What were you two doing down here?" he asked.

"Nothing, we just fell asleep" Harry said. Ron looked at him disbelieving.

"Seriously Ron, we were talking and we fell asleep" Sadie reassured him. "Um, could you not mention this? It might give people the wrong idea".

"No problem. I don't think anyone's been down yet. Ah, good thing I came along then, right?" he said nervously. Sadie couldn't help but think it was funny.

"I'm going to go up and change, I'll see you in a bit" she said. She gave Harry a quick kiss, and ran upstairs. She was so embarrased she thought she was going to pass out.

"Where have you been?" Hermione asked. Sadie jumped. Hermione was already fully dressed, and looked as if she were about to have an early breakfast.

"I um, fell asleep in the common room" she replied, which wasn't exactly a lie. Sadie hurried up and changed, and went downstairs with Hermione. There were very few people in the Great Hall, it must still be quite early. They sat down, and Sadie opened up her copy of Daily Prophet.

"Is it just me, or is Malfoy looking angrier than ever?" Harry said. Sadie looked over the top of her paper. It was true, Draco looked as if he were going to jynx the next person that walked by him.

"Wonder if things have gotten back to him that we're together" Harry said. Sadie shrugged.

"So what? He wanted to act like a prat, so why should I care?" she said. Ron laughed.

"What's with Neville? He looks freaked out" Hermione said. It was true, Neville looked like he had seen something that had greatly disturbed him.

"Hello, Neville" Harry said.

"Oh, hello Harry. Sadie. Nice day, I've got to get going" he said hastily.

"Oh no" Sadie said. Neville must have seen Sadie and Harry asleep in the chair together.

"What? Is there something going on that I don't know about?" Hermione said.

"Nothing. He just...might have seen something and thought more into it than there was" Harry said. Ron laughed.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"He might have seen Harry and I asleep together in the common room" Sadie said softly, turning pink. Hermione gasped.

"It's not what you think. We were talking, and we fell asleep. That's it" Harry said. He too, was turning a bit red. Hermione laughed.

"No wonder he looks freaked. Who knows what he thought" Hermione said, still laughing.

"Well, there's nothing to be thought about" Sadie grumbled. "I just hope he's the only other person that saw anything. You know how rumors can get spread around here." Ginny and Blaine showed up a couple minutes later, and nothing else was said on the subject. Someone else must have seen them, because Harry and Sadie both kept getting strange looks from people as they all headed outside.

"It's probably nothing" Harry said quietly to Sadie. They took their usual spot under a large shade tree.

"Don't forget your dare Hermione" Blaine said.

"I know, I just don't want to do it just yet" she said.

"Don't forget Ginny, you have to kiss Neville" Ron said.

"If Neville isn't too freaked out over...something" Harry said. Sadie laughed. She leaned over and kissed Harry. They had been doing this a lot lately, not really caring who was around.

"POTTER! I want a word!" Harry and Sadie both jumped up. Standing above them, fuming with pure anger, was Draco Malfoy.
