Summary: When shy and intelligent Ariella Potter and Quidditch hotshot Lucas Malfoy get paired together for a school project, Ariella knows that she shouldn't feel anything but hatred towards him.

Chapter Six – Another Warning.

The next day, Ariella and Lucas met up in the library after a lot of persuasion on Boo's part. Lucas was sure that he'd messed everything up with Ariella and Ariella was sure that Lucas didn't like her anymore. They sat down at a table and looked at each other. Lucas was the first to smile and as he did so he marveled at Ariella's beauty. Ariella noticed that he was staring at her and didn't know how to respond. Instead she just watched him stare at her. After a few minutes Lucas coughed to get her attention and began to talk.

"So. I take it Boo spoke to you yesterday?" he said slowly.

"Yes. How do you know?" Ariella replied.

"She told me last night. She was trying to make me meet you here and I wasn't having any of it so she told me that she came to speak to you."

Ariella nodded her head and smiled at him.

"Ari, I'm really glad that we got paired together. Even though it was at the beginning of the week and I've only known you a short time but you've shown me that there's more to life than Quidditch. I really needed that wake up call."

"I'm glad we got paired together too. I don't know why but when I'm around you I can be me. I don't have to live up to my surname or how intelligent I am. It's like I'm normal, like I'm just a girl."

Lucas laughed softly then said, "You even look like one too!"

Ariella smiled at his comment and sighed. Lucas noticed and grabbed hold of Ariella's hand.

"What's wrong?" he asked with worry etched all over his face.

"Nothing. This feels really awkward. Why does it feel that way?"

"I don't know. Ari I have to tell you something. It's quite personal too."

Ariella nodded and told him to continue.

"I well… Um… I kind of have feelings for you."

"I know that. Why else would you be my friend? You have to feel something for me to be my friend."

Lucas shook his head.

"No, not those kind of feelings. Feelings as in I like you feelings. Ari, I like you in a romantic way."

"Oh."

"Why does that sound like a bad oh? Oh no I did the wrong thing in telling you!" Lucas fretted.

"Lucas, calm down. It's not a bad oh. It was a good oh. Lucas I have to tell you something. Something that I've never told anyone before."

"Okay."

"I have feelings for you too. I hated you at the beginning of the week and now all of a sudden I have feelings for you. It's confused me Lucas."

"It's confused me as well," Lucas replied.

Lucas and Ariella kept on talking and though that they were alone so they kept holding each others hands but what they didn't know was that Ember had walked into the library and seen them holding hands. Ember wasn't happy at all because Ariella had broken the promise that she had given to Harry. Ember sat down at a table near by and listened to their conversation.

"Ari, tell me about your family," Lucas said.

"Okay. Well you know who my parents are. The famous Harry and Ginny Potter. Sometimes it's not very nice having famous parents but we didn't know that they were famous until we were in Diagon Alley when I was 5 and some reporters took out picture. Ember asked why they were taking the pictures and mum told us that she and dad were famous. Then there's Ember, my older sister. A typical Gryffindor. She's very popular unlike me and half the boys fawn over her. My younger sister Fliss is ten so she'll be here next year and you'll be able to meet her. She's lovely but very naïve. I have a cousin called Dessy and she's also in Gryffindor and her parents are my Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione. She lives with Ron though because Hermione died just after Dessy was born. She's never known her mother just like me, Ember and Fliss have never known our aunt. I have another five uncles but we don't see them much because they live all over the world. Bill lives in France with his wife, Charlie lives in Romania and his first love is dragons, Percy apparently got disowned so we never see him and Fred and George live in America where they're trying to set up some joke shops. They own Weasley Wizard Wheezes. Tell me about you about your family."

"Well my mum and dad are Pansy and Draco Malfoy but of course you know that. Then there's me and then my sister Boo. That's it. Both of my parents were only children so they didn't have any brothers or sisters."

"I never knew what your mum was called. What's Boo short for? She must have a name?" Ari replied.

"Brittney. I thought that Boo was cuter though so I called her that and it's stuck."

Ariella laughed and hugged Lucas.

"I have to go. Sometimes I really hate homework," she told him.

Lucas nodded and smiled then kissed her on her cheek and said good-bye. Ariella did the same and started to walk out of the library but was stopped by Ember.

"Ari, I saw that. If it carries on then I'll have to tell dad. He did ask me to keep an eye on you after all."

Ariella glared at Ember and pushed past her. She thought about her second warning on the way back to Gryffindor tower and by the time she reached her destination, Ariella had decided to ignore it.
