Chapter 4 – Making up

"What is your problem?" Noelle was shouting

"My problem?" astounded, Harry sounded like a parrot, repeating Noelle's words.

"You know what my problem is?" Harry said loudly.

"Noelle opened her mouth to reply, but Harry got there first, he grabbed, and kissed her. Smack on the mouth.

At first, Noelle kissed back... but then she remembered how furious she had been only seconds before. As she pulled back, her mouth was still open in astonishment. Harry looked just as amazed, as if he couldn't quite believe what he had just done. Almost simultaneously they ran away from each other, and up to their respective dorms.

Neville, Ginny and Luna had witnessed the whole thing, and now they walked over to Ron and Hermione, mouths open in amazement.

"What on EARTH happened there?" asked Ginny, then she groaned, "They'll be ignoring each other for weeks now"

"They've been arguing since Transfiguration," Ron said glumly, although he still seemed surprised at his friends' behaviour.

"Yeah, Noelle gets grumpy when she's tired, and Harry... erm, I actually have no idea why he was so annoyed actually!" Hermione mused.

"I think he was annoyed because the girl that he fancies the PANTS off is in a huge mood with him!" Ginny laughed

"Probably!" Neville grinned.

Luna smiled,

"Just like Crumple Horned Snorkacks!" she said dreamily, she looked around, bemused, as they all laughed.

Harry and Noelle had been ignoring each other, blushing furiously whenever they made eye contact, fro almost three weeks. This meant that Ron and Hermione could no longer work together in class, as one of them had to partner Noelle, and the other had to partner Harry.

One Charms lesson, Ron was working with Noelle, and Hermione with Harry. Noelle was laughing at Ron's attempt at a trembling charm, but kept sneaking furtive glances at Harry when she thought no-one was looking.

Hermione, who had of course mastered the trembling charm in a matter of moments, was having an exasperated conversation with Harry.

"Harry, why can't you just apologise to her?"

"No! How can I...?" Harry muttered, glancing at Noelle, her face radiant with laughter. Her eye caught his and he looked away, blushing "I dunno what I was thinking when I..."

"When you kissed her?" Hermione suggested

Harry nodded miserably, "She'll never forgive me... the whole school was already talking about 'us', then I went and did that... people are still talking about it now..."

"Of course she'll forgive you!" Hermione chided, "You just need to ask her to"

"Ask her to?" Harry looked horrified at the very thought. "How can I ask her to?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, in that ever irritating way, although the solution was perfectly obvious.

"Just say that you're sorry for losing your temper, and that you want to be friends again"

Harry opened his mouth, as if to object, but he caught himself and shut it again

"OK" he said grimly, as if resigning himself to a terrible fate.

Hermione smiled at him encouragingly.

When they left Charms Ron had finally managed the trembling charm, but the only thin ghe had managed it on, was Noelle's nose, giving her the air of a bizarre rodent. Ron and Hermione darted off, leaving Harry and Noelle alone in the corridor.

They stood in an embarrassed silence for a minute or two. Noelle's lip had started to tremble too, although Harry didn't think it had anything to do with Ron's charm. He could see her eyes becoming glassy with tears, despite the fact that she avoided his gaze.

"I'm sorry..." he muttered "I'm sorry for everything"

"I'm sorry too" Noelle's voice cracked "I... I did this for you..." she reached into her pocket and pulled out a wad of parchment "It's your notes... wel, my version of the," she smiled a teary smile.

Harry took them from her and put them in his bag,

"Thanks" he said quietly.

Noelle let out a sob, and before he had a chance to think about it, Harry had his arms around her.

"I've missed you so much" he whispered

"I've missed you too" she whispered back, tightening her arms around him.

"Friends?" Harry asked, warily

"Friends" Noelle agreed.

And they walked together, not talking much, but content, back to the common room.

Hey! Hope you all enjoyed that!
