Natsu sat on the cold ground, staring at the almost thawed lake. He had his hands to his lips, obviously in deep thought. It had been a couple of months since he and Harry fought, and they haven't talked since. Ever since then, Harry had avoided him at all costs. He gave a sigh, the snow on the tree behind him dropping with a soft and crunchy thud.

"There you are…." Natsu turned behind him, Lucy approaching him. Natsu said nothing and faced forward again. "We gotta go soon. Come on we gotta go." She said. But Natsu still did nothing. "...You know, I haven't seen you talk to Harry in months ever since Hogsmeade…. What happened?" She sat down next to Natsu, looking at him. He stayed silent still, and looked down. "He…. he found out…." He mumbled under his breath. "What?! He found out! Why didn't you tell us right away?!" Lucy exclaimed as she stood up, shocked at his decisions. "This could jeopardize everything! Do you realise how serious this is?!" She rantend, grabbing her hair and stressfully ruffling through it. "What if he figures out where we're from?! What if EVERYONE finds out?! What if we've put everyone in danger and-!"

Natsu grabbed Lucy's wrist and pulled her in for a kiss to calm and quiet her down. She began to resist at first, so angry at Natsu, but his strong grip wrapped around her lower and upper back, limiting her from her squirming. After about ten seconds, she began to relax and accept the kiss and unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and head. Natsu stayed there a bit longer then he intended, but didn't regret it. When the two separated, Lucy had calmed down giving Natsu time to give time to talk. "Lucy, calm down. He only found out about him being Harry's Godfather. That's all." He whispered. Lucy stared at his chest, and leaned her forehead lightly on his shoulder. "Say that sooner you idiot…." She whispered back. "I know I know… I just didn't want to cause a major panic is all…." He said, which was a little white lie. It was true he didn't want to cause a major panic, but he also didn't want to show his pain towards everyone.

"...There's something more isn't there…"

Lucy saw right through his emotions. He gave a silent smirk. Nothing less of his fiance…. "It's nothing…." He smiled, pushing Lucy slightly away, looking into her eyes with a smile. "I'm just happy you're here with me Lucy…." He smiled. Lucy's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks went rouge. "W-Well… it was your doing in the first place that got us here….." She mumbled, avoiding her gaze. He chuckled, guiding her chin to look at him. "Thank you for coming here with me. You always cheer me up in an instant." He smiled. She looked at him, then turned away swiftly to hide her red face, and gave a light cough. "A-Anyway, the others are waiting. Let's get going." She said, and began to walk towards the school, Natsu following. He watched Lucy's hair sway as he continued to follow.

As he continued to stare at Lucy, his mind began to wander about her. She's always had that smile that warmed everyone's hearts, and no matter how things grim had gotten, she always got through no matter what. He had never thought about it before, but during this mission and throughout the years he's known her he had finally noticed.

He was in love with her.

Harry groaned in his sleep, tossing and turning. His brow was sweating despite the nippy Spring English air. He finally woke up, gasping for air. He panted and cupped his face and brought his knees up. He looked up, looking around the dark room, everyone still asleep. But something wasn't right… it was quiet…. Too quiet. Normally Natsu would be snoring like a loud dragon. Even though they weren't talking, Natsu still shared the room with them. He looked at the Wall Clock ticking away in the room. It was 1:30 in the morning. Where would he be at this time of night? He grabbed the Marauders Map from his side drawer and the Invisibility Cloak just in case and slipped out to the Lobby of the Common Room.

He sat on the couch, only the fire illuminating the paper. He sighed and grabbed out his wand. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." He chanted and lightly tapped the map, the ink slowly revealing itself to Harry. He opened it up and looked around wondering where is room mate had gotten too….

Ah, there he was. In the….. Slytherin Common Room? Why would a Gryffindor be there? With Lucy, Gray, and Gajeel? And that wasn't the only odd thing… Professor Scarlet was there as well. Why would they be there, unless someone would try sneak in…. He gave a groan and ran out the door, his cloak in hand.

The one thing he hated about the cloak was that it was always hard to breath. It always made him think he was breathing so loudly that others could hear. As he inched closer and closer to the entrance, he leaned his ear on the door and heard muffled voices beyond the door.

"You sure about this?"

"Yeah, that's all he knows. He doesn't know anything else…"

"Hang on why are we all meeting here?! This seems like the worst place to discuss this!"

"Well Master Mavis did say to meet here. And she is never wrong."

"Master Mavis?" Harry thought to himself. He had never heard of someone named Mavis before….

"Where are the others anyway?"

"They said they'd meet us at the room."

"Then why are we here…."

"I think it's because she saw a prediction. One that will benefit us."

"Like what?"

"Maybe….. She wanted someone to find us here…."

There was silence, then the door jolted open. Harry gasped and ran to hide. But he didn't need to if he were invisible. Force of habit maybe. But before he could see who stepped out, he felt a cold rush run over him. He looked behind, and saw a ghostly figure float down the hall. He stood still, he couldn't move a muscle. It couldn't be…..

A Dementor in the hallways!

Harry held his breath, hoping the Dementor would pass by. His heart pounded in his chest, and closed his eyes as the Dementor flew by. Harry thought he was safe, but boy was he wrong. The Dementor came back, flying straight into his face. He gasped, jumping back, his back hitting the wall. As his mouth dropped, the Dementor began to suck his soul out from his body. Harry felt cold, his mind went blank, not knowing what to do. Then everything went black.

"Mmmmm….. What….?" Harry woke, feeling sluggish. When his hearing senses kicked in, he could hear the crackling of the fire, the warm water on a damp cloth on his forehead, and a blanket warming his legs. He looked to the side, someone hunched over the fire, thinking.

Harry blinked a few times, before seeing the figure more clearly. "Nat….su….?" Harry stuttered. Natsu turned around at the mention of his name, and smiled. "You came to." He smiled, turning back around and prodding the fire with an iron rod. "W-What happened…?" Harry asked, sitting up and holding his head.

"Professor Scarlet found you passed out and asked Professor Marvel to help bring you back to the Common Room." Natsu explained. "She said you were attacked by a Dementor. You're lucky she was there. You shouldn't be out this late you know…." Natsu said, controlling himself not to eat the fire in front of Harry.

"...I could say the same to you…." Harry whispered. "What?" Natsu said, looking at Harry. "You heard me. You shouldn't be out this late either. I know you were in the Slytherin Common Room with Lucy, Gray, and Gajeel. I know Erza was there too. And yet she didn't mind you were there! Even though she's strict just with uniform! Why is that…. Are you all hiding something from us?!" Harry interrogated. He didn't care that his head was pounding. He didn't care if people would wake up. He wanted to know what the hell was going on!

Natsu looked at Harry, then looked down. "I…. I don't know what you're talking about." Natsu muttered, looking down. Harry's eyes snapped. The next thing he knew, he sprinted at Natsu and grabbed him by the collar. "Don't screw with me…." He growled. "Why are you protecting yourself?! Why did you defend Sirius?! Are you protecting him?! Are you allies with Voldemort?!" Harry yelled, Natsu still not saying anything. "ARE YOU?! ANSWER ME! WE'RE FRIENDS! WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME?!" Harry screamed. It was a miracle no one had come and investigated what was going on.

Natsu looked down, his hair darkening his eyes. He softly grabbed Harry's wrist, not looking him in the eye. "I'm sorry…." And with that Natsu swiftly walked past Harry still not looking him in the eye. Harry was left confused and angry. Does that mean he's not who he says he is? Was he actually working with Voldemort? Was he actually protecting Sirius somehow? But there was nothing that showed his devotion to Voldemort or Sirius…. But could he trust Natsu now? He stared at the fire, his head muddled with questions…

"What the hell is going on…?"
