Memories of the Past
Chapter 4
by Hikaru
A week had passed since the first time they worked on the project in the library. They were now on much better terms and while Ron was still complaining about "the ferret", he had pretty much accepted it. Surprisingly, Draco had not complained nor had he acted like his snot-nosed self from a year ago. And also, more importantly, they were ¾ through their research while most of the other groups, minus Hermoine's, hadn't started yet. They were going to start working on making the potion next week.
As they continued to work in silence, Harry started to wonder why Draco had not said anything rude nor insulting to him for the entire week they worked together. The blonde boy was entirely too silent. Harry's eyes unconsciously wandered over to study the blonde.
He blinked. So he wasn't imagining things, he though. The blonde's hair had more prominent streaks of red in it, although…'is that a streak of brown?' It was a pale brown, similar to a chestnut color. These weren't as noticeable as the red, but one could see it if they paid attention.
"What are you staring at?" Draco had an eyebrow raised elegantly at him.
Harry blinked. He didn't realize he had been staring. "Sorry, I zoned out for a while there."
"Whatever." The blonde went back to doing his work.
'Hmm…that reminds me…I should start on my own homework…' Harry mused. For the rest few days, they started to do their homework in the presence of each other instead of doing research like they were supposed to. It was quite useful too. They just asked each other for help, and in this case, Harry's grades in potions were rising, much to Snape's displeasure.
When they left that day to return to their dormitories, Harry realized that he had seen a slight tint of blue in the blonde's eyes. Vaguely he thought that the mix of blue and gray made an interesting combination: lilac.
Harry shook his head as he fell into bed, 'Nah…I'm just dreaming things up.'
Dream Sequence
"Hee-chan!' a voice echoed. "Wanna go with me to that new club that just opened downtown?" A boy with a surprisingly long braid bounced into the room.
"Hn." A boy with short, messy, chocolate brown hair sat in front of his laptop typing. He wore a forest green tank top and spandex shorts of all things. His piercing Prussian blue eyes had a slight slant to it that identified him as half-asian.
"C'mon, please…?" The boy in black whined and wheedled.
"No."
"Fine! I'll go by myself then! Hmph!" The braided boy left the room in a huff. The other boy continued typing.
After a while, he got up and left.
End Dream Sequence
Harry woke up, startled. 'What in the world?' he usually had dreams of Voldemort and murders by the Death Eater's, not random dreams of people's lives. But the two in his dream were familiar, especially the blue-eyed one. For some reason, Harry just knew that the boy was part-Japanese.
"Bloody hell! Why are we always almost late?" Ron shouted as he and Harry ran down the empty corridors.
"Because you wanted to finish eating!' Harry panted as they ran to DADA.
When they arrived, the professor had his back to the class and was writing down some dates onto the board. They tried to sneak in quietly but froze as the professor called them.
"Weasley. Potter." The professor's cold voice cut thorough the classroom. "Would you care to explain why you are late?"
"Umm…" Ron stuttered. Harry kept silent.
'No, I see?" The professor just raised his eyebrow and returned to the lesson. Ron and Harry looked at each other before hurrying over to their seats.
"So you didn't get detention or anything?" Hermione asked them later that night.
"No." Ron sounded exasperated.
Hermione still looked skeptical. "Somehow that's hard to believe."
"Look, if you want, we could just go find him and ask him to see if we weren't hearing things, alright?" Ron was angry.
"Fine!" Hermione huffed.
Harry, meanwhile, stared at them helplessly as he went to get the marauderer's map. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." He muttered. Harry scanned the parchment for the professor's dot and found it at the edge of the forbidden forest. Harry stared. 'What was he doing there?'
"Hey guys," Harry called to Ron and Hermione. "Come and take a look at this." The two came over and Harry pointed out the dot to them.
"What's he doing there?" Ron asked, bewildered.
"Let's go check it out." Harry said, rummaging around in his trunk for his invisibility cloak.
"Wait! What if he's just checking out something suspicious?"
"I'd say he's suspicious." Ron snorted.
"Just a while ago you were defending him!" Hermione grew pink from anger.
"Then don't come." Ron said.
"Grrr! Fine then! I'm going back to my room! Hmph!" She growled before turning on her heel and heading up the stairs.
"C'mon, let's go Harry." Ron said angrily.
"Actually, Ron, why don't you go on to sleep first? I don't think we'll both fit under it anymore." Harry suggested.
Ron frowned. "What if--"
"Ron, nothing's going to happen to me." Harry interrupted before leaving.
"Alright." Ron went up to the dormitory as Harry left the common room.
-------------------------------------------------
Harry easily made his way out of the Great Hall and out of the castle. Since Mrs. Norris was patrolling one other side of the castle at that time. The moonlight lit up the lake beautifully as Harry made his way towards where the professor was. He quietly snuck up to a rock near enough to the professor to see what he was doing and still stay hidden.
Professor Chang had crouched down and was petting something. As he moved to the right, he found himself staring at a delta work: a light chestnut brown one. It looked like the professor was conversing with the wolf. Harry had to wonder at that.
Sorry its out so late! Just to tell you all though, I'm never giving up on this fic, and I WILL finish this fic...even if it takes me until 50 years later...but just keep hoping summer comes soon because that's when i have the most time...I'll try to get out at least 1 chapter per week in the summer...unless something unexpected comes up...anyways...
I'd answer everyone's reviews, but I don't really want to chance myaccound tbeing deleted...leave an email address if you want me to tell you about things or something...and about the question about how they can have 2 potions classes in the same day...that was a typo...I meant the first "week" not day...and I'm very happy that there are still readers out there!
This chapter WOULD have been posted up at the end of last month...but my friend wanted to type it up for me because she wanted to read it...so I let her type it...--'...figures that it'd take her over half a month to finish typing it though...BUT THANKS ANYWAYS CHICHI!
PS: I think this is the entire chapter...even though it seems pretty short...frown I coulda sworn it was a LOT longer though...I mean, I DID write 9 or 10 pages...oh wells...if there's anything missing, I'll repost this chapter along with the next one and leave a notice in the next one about the repost...
