Chapter 5
Falling For You



"Oh, I guess you can come in and see her," said a sweet, motherly voice.

"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey," said another voice, this time a male's voice.

"Madam Pomfrey?" muttered Jamie, opening her eyes. She looked around and saw curtains all around her. She then realized she was laying in a bed, "Oh, Merlin. What happened? Oh... my head."

"I must say that she is still asleep though," said Madam Pomfrey's voice.

"No... I am awake now," muttered Jamie.

"Okay, I guess she is awake," said Madam Pomfrey.

The curtain opened and Madam Pomfrey was standing there. Romeo Malfoy was standing beside her.

"I will just let you two talk," said Madam Pomfrey, "Don't be long though, Potter's friends were going to come up too. I don't want a bunch of you in the room at the same time. It is the Hospital Wing, you know!"

"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey," Romeo said, sitting down.

"I wasn't expecting to see you, Malfoy," said Jamie, as Madam Pomfrey walked away.

"Hello to you too," Romeo said to her, "How do you feel?"

"I feel like I walked into a brick wall," said Jamie.

"Oh, close enough," said Romeo, "What's the last thing you remember?"

"Well," said Jamie, pausing, "I remember flying in the air... and then... seeing someone. It was you, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, I was going to do some flying myself," said Romeo, "But you were in the air, so I just watched you."

"The last thing I remember was falling toward the ground," said Jamie, "But that might have been a dream."

"No, it wasn't a dream," said Romeo, "I witnessed it. I actually saved you, I guess you could say. You crashed and I brought you up here."

"Heh, guess I was falling for you," Jamie said before she could stop her self. She then realized what she had said. "Oh, I mean..."

"Nice joke, Potter," said Malfoy, "Didn't know you had it in you."

"That's me," said Jamie, "Hilarious Jamie Potter. So... why did you... as you called it... save me?"

"You were unconscious, Potter," said Romeo, "I couldn't just leave you."

"My hero," said Jamie, rolling her eyes.

Romeo blushed at this. This time, it was Jamie who smirked.

"Well, well, Malfoy," said Jamie, "I didn't know Slytherins could blush."

"Well, we can," said Romeo, "Why do you think I saved you?"

"Well, let's see, this is Malfoy I am talking to," said Jamie, "So... I would say that you thought if you ever wanted to do something stupid like ask me out, that I would do something stupid and say yes!"

"Really?" Romeo asked her, "And why would you say that?"

"Oh come on," said Jamie, "I know Jasmine broke up with you."

"I don't really care about her right now," said Romeo, "Anyway... what would you actually say if I asked you out on a date?"

"Well," Jamie said, smirking, "You did technically 'save me' so it would be wrong to not say yes."

"Really?" Romeo said.

"Really," said Jamie, "So are you asking me out?"

Romeo blushed again. "Yeah, I guess I am," he said.

"Then I guess I will say yes," said Jamie, "So when are we going to have this date, Malfoy?"

"We don't go to Hogsmeade for another month," said Romeo.

"You want to wait a month?" said Jamie.

"You are that eager to go on a date with me?" Romeo said, smirking, "Fine... next Friday. Both of us don't have classes that day, right? So we could have a nice lunch in the Come and Go Room."

"You mean the Room of Requirement?" Jamie asked, "Wow, romantic."

"I am saying that no one would find us," said Romeo, "It may be a date, Potter, but I do have a reputation to protect. Malfoys and Potters aren't supposed to like each other, remember?"

"Fine," said Jamie, "I won't tell my friends if you don't tell any of your friends... or anyone else."

"Deal," said Romeo.

"You know... you can be sweet sometimes," said Jamie. Jamie leaned over to Romeo and kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay, easy, Potter," said Romeo, turning red, "Well, I better go. Your friends might want to check up on you soon. Remember... Friday around noon."

"I will be there and you better be there too," said Jamie.

"I was the one who asked you out, Potter," said Malfoy, standing up and walking toward the door. As Malfoy reached for the door handle, the door opened. Jamie couldn't see who had opened the door.

"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" said a voice that sounded a lot like James.

"I was seeing how your sister was, Potter," said Romeo, "I was the one that brought her up here if you didn't know."

Jamie heard a "hmmph" sound and watched Romeo walk out of the room. A second later, James walked into the Hospital Wing, followed by Jane, Joseph, Richie, and Alice.

"Oh thank Merlin, you are okay," said Jane walking quicker than the others and sitting next to Jamie's bed, "What do you think you were doing?"

"It was an accident," said Jamie, "I was practicing chasing the Snitch and... I lost control of the broom, I guess."

"Malfoy said he was the one that brought you up here?" James said, "What was he doing down there?"

"He was going to do some practicing too and saw me," said Jamie, "So he waited... and he saw me crash."

"Great," said James, "I am sure it is going to be all over the school that the Captain of the Gryffindor team crashed."

"It won't be all over the school," said Jamie.

"This is Malfoy we are talking about," said James, "He witnessed what happened. Of course he is going to talk about it."

"If he does, he does," said Jamie.

Jamie decided that the conversation was getting to close to the "danger point" and knew she could blurt out something about what just went on between her and Romeo, so she decided to change the subject.

"So what has been going on the past few hours," said Jamie.

"We had a big party, welcoming in the new team members," said Joseph, "We were hoping you would be there..."

"Sorry, guys," said Jamie.

"All right, all right," said Madam Pomfrey, walking over to Jamie's bed, "Miss Potter needs to get something to eat. So, you can all come back later. Miss Potter will have to stay the night so I can make sure nothing serious happened."

After a series of "awws" and complaints, Jamie's friends, cousins, and brother had all left the room. Madam Pomfrey gave Jamie some soup and said it had some special vitamins in it that could cure headaches. Hoping these vitamins didn't come from the Orange Jawstone plants, Jamie at her soup.

The good thing about being alone in bed in the Hospital Wing was that it gave you time to think. Jamie thought a lot about what had happened earlier with Romeo and decided in the end it was Romeo who was doing the flirting... not her. She would go on that date, as promised... and hopefully, she privately thought, she would have some fun.

-------------------------------------------------------

THAT was a fun chapter to write! Yeah, that was sort of a small chapter, but I had it in my head, so it went fast... hoped you liked it. In Romeo's mind, he did "save" Jamie, even though she had crashed, so technically... he did save her life.

This is the chapter I know some of you couldn't wait for... would love some feedback
