ChapterTwo Heading out
"You're going to do what?" Asked Harry perplexed.
"I told you Shauna, Aly, and myself are going to go on a replica if the titanic to stop this pscycho who wants to repeat history." Carla explained.
Harry couldn't believe it. Even though he was dating Ginny Weasley he still couldn't help but love the woman he could never tame. He also knew the dangers associated with trying to keep history from repeating itself, he had done so in his second year.
" I'll go with you!"
" No Harry. Besides Lena didn't say that you could come with us."
" To hell with Lena, and since when did that matter if I could come with you on your missions?"
" It's not up to you to save me Harry." Carla said quietly after a moments silence.
" What's that supposed to mean?"
" There was once a time when it was your place to be concerned with me."
Harry couldn't help it he could feel the heat of anger boiling up inside him. He had been observing a few things about Carla that he didn't like. He knew she hadn't been the same since she didn't get to Harrison, the second father figure in her life, and watcher, in order to save him just weeks before. Then, suddenly, the words came pouring out of his mouth.
" Look just because I'm not your boyfriend anymore doesn't mean I can't care about you. I know that since Harrison was killed you haven't been the same: you've had temporary insanity, at least I hope, because you're dating Draco Malfoy, who I think is a death eater."
Carla just started to walk towards the door to leave the room.
"Oh no, I'm not through with you let. Damn it, Carla, why can't you let someone love you?"
Carla just stared coldly into his eyes.
" Can you look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me anymore?" Harry asked.
" I don't love you anymore." Carla replied coldly.
" Liar."
" Well, I see that Lucius was right about one thing when it comes to you."
" What would that be?"
" You do have a weakness for heroics."
Then Carla left the room after Harry let her. She wasn't acting like herself, Harry thought to himself. Was being with Malfoy changing her? Or was trying to change him only changing her? He wasn't sure which but he did know that he had to do something to protect her. If he couldn't go he would send somebody else to go. He tried to think of who, then the right person came into his head.
" Josh!"
Out of nowhere a young man came in orbs of white light. Josh was a whitelighter, a guardian angel for good witches, and a student in Ravenclaw. Not to mention Shauna's ex-boyfriend and his closest friend, besides Ron and Hermione.
" Harry you know you could have came looking for me in the library?"
" I know but calling for you is so much easier." Harry said, almost laughing. Josh just glared at him
" Being around the girls is just making you lazy Harry."
" Actually I have a favor to ask you." said Harry.
" Okay, depends on what it is."
" Well you know the mission that Lena gave the girls right?"
"Yeah. And?"
" Well we know a certain witches powers aren't up to scratch, and I was wondering if- You'dwatchCarlafor me."
" What?"
"Would you watch over Carla for me?"
" Harry she hates me."
" Good she won't suspect a thing then."
" Of course I will. I'll be going to check on Shauna anyways."
" Don't let Carla know okay. I know she'd yell at me if she found out."
Meanwhile Carla went to find Draco. She hadn't told him yet about how the mission could be life threatening. She found Draco in the all- house common room.
" Ah, love there you are, did you enjoy your shopping?"
" Yeah. There's something I have to tell you."
" What is it?"
" This could be the last time you see me alive."
" What?" asked Draco shocked.
" Well I told you about the mission, but the one thing we're trying to avoid is the life lost on the original."
" Don't go."
" I have to , I already accepted the mission."
Draco had spent the last three years in trying to get Carla and he didn't want to lose her. It was Lena who was always putting her in these situations, a voice said in his head. It was true too. It was a kick in the abdomenfrom a vampire that had caused Carla to miscarry their what would have been first child, and it could have gotten them married sooner. Although he knew that he was married to her during the last summer and Carla had gotten him to sign the papers to have the marriage annuled. That and her feelings for Harry Potter had gotten in the way. She was his now and he wasn't going to let her go.
" Carla would you promise me something?"
" What?"
" If you live I want you to say you wont accept any more missions for Lena."
" Draco, I-"
" Please. If you stay with me I can give you what you always have wanted. You won't have to fight and be super witch anymore, you could be free from all the fighting. You could have everything you want, plus a normal life."
" Draco you're asking me to give up saving people. I'll think about it."
Then the sound of a car horn came from outside. The girls ride had come that would take them to Southhampton.
" That's our ride, I have to go. Love you."
Then Carla had to go and join her friends.
" Love you too." Draco said aloud in an empty room.
He went out to watch, as the other students had gathered to watch, as Shauna, Carla, and Aly left to have the adventure of their lifetime.
