Chapter 5 – Autumn walks at the Burrow

Just about everyone in Gryffindor was glad that Harry and Noelle had made up, although some of them were disappointed that the pair had still not revealed their feelings for each other. No-one dared mention the article in Witch Weekly.

The atmosphere in the common room was now considerably lighter now that the Gryffindor Seeker and Quidditch Captain was back on friendly terms with his best Chaser. Noelle had only been on the team since September, and tryouts had been been a little difficult considering her and Harry hadn't been speaking at the time. However, Noelle had proven herself so brilliantly that Harry had had no choice but to put her on the team.

Practices were no longer sullen affairs in which Harry and Noelle wouldn't look at each other, but became fun, loud, and very promising. Harry was delighted with his team, Ron as keeper, Noelle, Katie Bell, and a fourth year, Adrian Barker, as Chasers, two third years, Michael Ashworth and Matthew Wackett as Beaters and himself as Seeker.

In classes, Ron and Hermione worked together again. There were still embarrassing silences or blushes if 'the kiss' was brought up by any amused classmates.

Half term was swiftly approaching, and all the 6th and 7th years were looking forward to the break from their NEWT studies. Ron said, on many occasions, that the holiday couldn't come quickly enough, although it was only a week long.

Harry was up in his dorm, getting his Herbology textbook, when Colin Creevey burst in, waving something in his hand.

"Harry, Harry, look! I thought you might like this!"

"Can you leave whatever it is on the bed Colin?" came Harry's muffled voice. He was half under his bed, trying to find his book. Colin put the thing he had been holding on the bed, and left the room.

Harry gave up the search for his book, he would share Ron's. He turned to his bed and picked up Colin's gift. It was photo of his and Noelle's kiss. Harry watched his photographic self grab Noelle, kiss her, recoil in amazement, and run out of the photo, only to run back in a second later and do it again.

Harry scowled.

"What a great first kiss" he muttered sourly.

"Not everything's perfect dear" consoled the mirror on the opposite wall.

Harry scowled harder

"How would you know? You're a mirror!" he spat

The mirror spluttered indignantly.

Harry folded the photograph and put it in his bag.

Very quickly, the autumn half term was upon them, and they were all packing their bags to go and stay at the Weasleys' for a week.

When they arrived at Kings' Cross, in the rain, Mrs Weasley almost suffocated them all with tight hugs. She then chivvied them to a fireplace in the station wall, gave them a pinch of floo powder and sent them all spinning off to the Burrow.

Ginny, it seemed, had decided to stay at school for the short holiday, and without Fred and George in the house either, they had the run of the place.

Ron grinned as he fell out of the fireplace.

"It's good to be home!" he said happily.

They went upstairs to put away their bags.

"Can we go for a walk?" asked Harry, looking out of the window to the woody paths, which glittered wetly, although the rain had now stopped.

Ron and Hermione groaned.

"Do we have to?"

Harry looked disappointed.

"I'll go with you!" Noelle chirped, "Just let me get changed!" she ran up the stairs.

Ron clapped Harry one the shoulder.

"Great, we'll stay here and you and Noelle can go for a walk!"

Harry gulped and pulled a black polo-necked jumper over his t-shirt.

Noelle ran back down the stairs in blue skinny jeans, a scarlet fitted polo-neck in very soft wool, and suede knee books. She had left her curls down.

Harry stared.

"L-let's, erm, go..." he stammered.

She smiled and walked out of the door ahead of him.

As soon as the Burrow was out of sight, around a corner, Harry felt more comfortable. Nowadays he felt that everyone was watching his every move.

He moved closer to her, so that their hands brushed as they walked. About the third time this happened, Noelle took his hand, threading her fingers through his. Only loosely though, as if he might pull away. Instead he tightened his grip. Noelle smiled up at him. Harry smiled back, entranced by her beauty. They walked slowly, close together, not talking, just enjoying the other's presence.

Only when dusk was creeping in did they start to walk back.

"This year's been hard so far... and we've only been back for a few months..." Noelle said quitely.

Harry nodded slowly.

"Mmmm, it has. People are a nightmare sometimes."

They were standing in the front yard of the Burrow, now bathed in silvery moonlight. Noelle looked up at the house and smiled.

"Ron and Hermione are so happy aren't they?" she said "They're perfect for each other"

Little did they know that the subjects of this statement were watching them through the kitchen window.

"Yeah" agreed Harry, "I've never met any two people as truly in love"

"I wish I could be like that" Noelle sighed

Harry looked at her sharply

"You will, when you find the right guy"

Noelle looked up at him,

"I – I already have... I just keep saying stupid stuff and... oh... I just am stupid"

Harry pulled her into a hug, and looked down into her beautiful brown eyes,

"You're not stupid... you're perfect"

He hesitated, then lowered his head and kissed her. It was nothing like the last time however. He felt her respond immediately, kissing him back, hard. Her lips were as soft as he remembered, from their first, angry kiss.

How long they stood there, kissing in the moonlight, Harry and Noelle didn't know. But just a few metres away, in the warm kitchen, Ron and Hermione high-fived.

Well.

It's finished!

Awww, I'm quite sad actually, I really enjoyed writing this fic and I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Please review! I really want to know what you think of this ending.

I know it's cheesy, and it's clichéd but I love it!
