Chapter 14: Harry's Confession
In the Gryffindor Sixth Year's Girls Dormitory, the moon light was illuminating a navy blue book that lay open on one of the beds. The initials G.M.W. were the only indication as to whom the book belong. It was opened on the current date. Small teardrops could be seen smudging some of the writing.
Dear Diary,
I don't know what to do. I'm so confused. I don't want to prolong this so I'll cut to the chase. I was on my way towards the Gryffindor Common Room when I saw Harry standing at the bottom of the stairs. I know he was waiting. It made me feel guilty seeing the look on his face. He seemed worried. Really worried. You see… I just got back to the broom ride with Malfoy. I approached him. As soon as I was close enough, he wrapped his arms around me in a hug. This is what happened.
"Is everything alright, Gin?" he muttered.
"Yes, I'm fine," I told him.
"Did he do anything? What happened?" he asked as he released me from the hug.
"Nothing happened. We were just talking."
"Talking?" he gave me this incredulous look. "You've been with the guy for three hours. Are you sure you were only talking?"
"Harry!" I yelled appalled. How could he insinuate such a thing! Okay, the three hours was too long for a conversation between me and Malfoy but I swear we were only talking!
"Gin, seriously. Did something happen? Every time you're in proximity with the Malfoy, something happens. Tell me." He was looking somber now. As I look into those green orbs, I found worry and something else.
"Nothing happened. We were just talking. Talking! Now can we please go? I'm wet and dirty. I need to change." I brushed pass him but he caught my arm just in time. He turned me around so I would be facing him.
"Are you starting to have feelings for him, Gin?" he asked in a low voice. I became silent upon hearing his words. I was shocked with his question. He was looking at me intently. I didn't know what to say. We were like that for a good minute or two. No one was speaking. After sensing my discomfort, he let go of my arm and said, "Never mind. Come on. Let's go!"
He was making his way up the stairs when I was now the one reaching out to grab his arm. We stopped in the middle of the stairs. I told him, "I don't know."
I could feel his mood changing from worry to depression. It was now the second time that he extended his arms and enveloped me in a hug. I have no idea what was happening to him. He pulled away for a moment and then slowly descended into sitting on the stairs. This was all rather confusing to me.
I sat down next to him and asked, "Harry, what's the matter?"
"You do, Gin. You do." He kept on mumbling.
"I do what?"
"Have feelings for him."
"You still didn't answer my question, Harry." I tried switching the topic. Yes, I have to agree with him. There have been certain feelings developing for the Seiryuu wielder. Apparently, changing the topic of the conversation is something I would soon regret. His next words came as a shock to me.
"What the matter with me!" he laughed. "I can't fight destiny," with those words spoken, he broke down and cried. He buried his face in his hands.
"Harry," I stood up to walk in front of him. Then, I kneeled down and placed my hands on his shoulders. "I don't understand. What are you trying to say?"
"Don't you get it, Gin?" he looked up with his tearstained face. "I love you."
I remained still and silent, shocked. He was looking away now avoiding my eyes. He continued, "I think I have for a long time now. I didn't know when it started. You have no idea how I felt when I first saw you being possessed. You were looking for Malfoy. For MALFOY! Of all people!
"I felt worse when I heard of the story your father told us. How could I beat that when destiny is forcing you and him to be together?" he sobbed.
I could only stare at him. Five years ago, this would be like a dream come true; Harry Potter proclaiming his love for me. I felt my own tears falling. Something happened along the way. The feelings that I had for him diminished into sisterly affection. Now, he was the one that was having those emotions. I guess he did give me some sort of indication that he felt like being more than friends. I disregarded them thinking that it was too good to be true. I did what I think would be the best way to comfort him. I hugged him. He returned my hug. I could still feel him shaking with all the crying that he did.
What happened next came to me as more than a shock. It didn't even occur to me that we were already kissing! We were both taken by the moment. I felt his soft lips on mine moving ever so lightly. It appeared as though he was trying to relish every part of me with that one single kiss. ARGH! I feel so confused because, dear diary, I liked it! I liked savoring the sensation that his kiss gave me.
That was when all the chaos started. Someone punched Harry breaking the kiss we were sharing. He landed on the ground with a loud thud. I saw him cradling his jaw that appeared to be broken. I looked at the offender. Guess who I saw. I give you two chances. If you're thinking it was Ron. Nope, it's not him. Yep, it's the Seiryuu weilder himself. Draco Malfoy.
He was standing almost beside me. His right hand was still clenched in a fist. His blue eyes were blazing with anger. Blue eyes? I know what you're thinking. Draco has grey eyes but, dear diary, he was currently being possessed by the bracelet for its eyes were also glowing.
"Do not touch her, ever!" he yelled as he walked closer. Draco grabbed Harry by the front of his robes and lifted him as if he weighed nothing. I immediately ran towards them attempting to urge Draco to let go of him.
"Draco, stop! Let go of him!" I screamed hoping that he would release him and that the real Draco Malfoy would resurface. He didn't. He threw Harry's body to the wall.
"Harry!" I looked towards his direction. He was laying there, unconscious. I gave in to instinct and slapped Draco more forcefully than intended. The sounding slap seemed to have awoken him from the trance.
"Fuck, Weasley! Why the hell did you do that for!" he yelled at me.
"Serves you right! Now, help me so we could bring Harry to the infirmary!" I yelled back. I rushed to where Harry was and placed one of his arms on my shoulders. Draco, on the other hand, was still glued to where he was. "Malfoy! Give me a hand! This is your fucking fault!"
"I am not helping your pathetic excuse for a boyfriend, Weasley. Once I figure out to harness the power of my bracelet, I would love to do that again." He turned on his heel and left me there with Harry. If Ron and Hermione didn't come minutes later, I would probably be dragging Harry to the Hospital Wing. Ron kept on asking what happened but I made up some story to cover the whole incident. Hermione seemed to think otherwise. Hermione, she's too damn smart and sometimes it annoyed me.
I still couldn't keep my mind off Harry. His confession. His kiss. Do I still like him? I don't know. I'm so confused. The fact that I enjoyed that kiss made matters even worse. There's one thing I know for sure. I think I'm falling for Malfoy which will make things more awful for Harry. ARGH! I feel like jumping off a cliff right now so I could end my misery.
I'm not sure but I think Malfoy's developing feelings for me too. I know it's hopeful thinking. Can't help a girl from dreaming! I think that was a display of jealousy. I know he saw us kissing. He was probably really upset when he saw us and awoken the Seiryuu. I wish! I don't know if I ever told you, dear diary. I have a theory about, you know, the feelings I'm having for Malfoy. It's just a theory. I'm hoping that is not the case. I'm thinking that the bracelets are forcing us to have these feelings especially when we're supposed to be the reincarnation of the former wielders. It was them who love each other and the feeling is slowly transferring to us. If our mission in this lifetime has been completed and the bracelets were all gone, are we still going to have these feelings with each other? Or will it be gone along with the bracelets?
Well… I'm off to
The writing was cut from there. Something must have happened to cause the writer to abandon something important like her diary. The room was empty so hopefully she would be back in time before someone would invade her privacy.
The next day…
Ginny groggily woke up after hearing the reckless tapping on her window. She was too tired. Michele came in last night while she was writing in her diary. She told her that her brother was in a fight with Draco near the library. Ron probably found out that Draco was the one that punched Harry. They both immediately left and Ginny forgot to keep the diary in her hiding place.
She looked out the window and saw the familiar owl that delivered Draco's message a week ago. She jumped out of bed and opened the window to let the owl in. Ginny was searching frantically for an owl treat to give but the owl merely dropped the letter and flew away. She opened the letter only to be greeted with the familiar neat writing.
Weasley,
Saturday at 3. Near the lake.
D. Malfoy
'What does he want now?' she thought. She will be there, of course. She still hasn't given him the piece of her mind about the recent stunt he pulled with Harry. 'Bloody hell! The guy is still out cold in the infirmary!"
