The next morning Brooklyn woke to someone shaking her roughly from her bed, instantly she knew it was Rose as Cassie was the gentle one out of the three of them.
"Brooke...Brooklyn get your arse up it's time to get up!"
Annoyed Brooklyn grumbled "Rose if you don't piss off I'll throw you off the highest tower."
Rose sighing hard huffed and raised her hand bringing it down hard on Brooklyn behind.
"Get up Brooklyn don't make me have to hit you again!"
Brooklyn threw her blankets off revealing her over sized black t-shirt that had ridden up showing her white short shorts and glared at her friend.
"Nobody said I have to get up anyway, its a Sunday for crying out loud!"
"Yes and we have to start revising our exams are so close get up." Rose ordered.
With a roll of her eyes Brooklyn crawled from her bed brushing back her messy hair from her face to stare at her friend.
"Don't look at me like that," Rose started, her hands placed on her hips "You know how important our exams are and I'm sure you don't want to miss breakfast."
With a roll of her eyes Brooklyn grabbed her large blue towel from her trunk and disappeared into the bathroom.
"Honestly Rose you need to keep your anger in check" Cassie sighed happily, her evening with Seamus had gone off without a hitch apart from Brooklyn and Pansy she felt as if she was walking on cloud nine.
"Oh shut up" Rose pushed her smart, and sophisticated glasses -that's what her aunt called them when she presented them to her- up her nose and went about making Brooklyn's bed. "Why are you so preppy anyway?"
"Well I know its a bit fast but Seamus asked me to be his girlfriend and...I said yes." Cassie gushed happily.
Rose's black eyes widened "Cassandra Marie Wilson you hardly know the boy how can you even think about going out with him?" She demanded, instantly reminding Cassandra of her mum.
"He's really funny and sweet...plus he'll get my mum off my back about finding a boy to settle down with. I'm only 17."
"Cassie he's a Gryffindor." Rose sighed "You can do so much better and you know this. I'm not happy about Brooklyn's constant and unnecessary flirting with Harry Potter but there not going out."
"Yet" Brooklyn breezed into the room wrapped in her towel, her hair was pulled into a messy bun on top her head "We kissed last night."
"What!!" Rose screeched
"Really," Cassie's blue eyes shone in excitement "How was it?"
"Brilliant and by the way Rose I don't appreciate you bringing up my wild summer." Brooklyn said bending down infront of her trunk looking for underwear.
"Oh you mean your French lover who had a taste for...well you." Rose scoffed.
"Exactly." Brooklyn grinned pulling on her underwear underneath her towel then slipped on her bra over her towel before letting it drop.
"Why are you embarrassed you came back for our forth year going on about your french lover with an appetite for your lady bug" Brooklyn snorted at Rose's words pulling on her favourite black denim skirt that annoyed her aunt Annabeth greatly as its length was a few centimetres shorts than her other skirts.
"I'm not embarrassed but you never had to make everyone know that I've been given oral sex I mean the entire seventh year group knows I've had something between my legs" Brooklyn slipped into her knee length black leggings underneath her skirt.
"The entire seventh year group can't judge you they still think your innocent that your the only Seventh year Ravenclaw Virgin." Rose pointed out.
"Hmm," Brooklyn shook out her hair running her fingers through its tangles "Ready."
"Yea I'm starving." Cassie groaned leading the way out "I never ate anything last night."
Rose frowned "I believe that's your fault nobody told you to spend the night sticking your tongue down Seamus's throat."
"Actually I did." Brooklyn admitted with a meek smile "I told her to have some fun for once and keep her distance from your bitter self."
"I'm not bitter." Rose protested.
"Then why are you always snapping at people, you snapped at poor Harry when he asked Brooklyn to the ball." Cassie pointed out swinging her arms.
"He just annoys me," She frowned "You know my aunt says that I should stick by him and such so she can print her articles about him."
"Well sorry to say this Rose but your aunt pisses me off royally" Brooklyn confessed with a easy shug "She hears one little thing and runs off if she was in front of me I would punch her in the nose."
"Punch who in the nose?" Somebody asked tugging on the back of Brooklyn hood halting her steps.
"Punch you in the nose Potter." Rose scowled.
Harry frowned at her releasing Brooklyn's hood "Can I ask what your problem with me is, if anybody should have a problem between us it should be me with you."
"Why would you have a problem with me." With her arms folded Rose stood straight "There's nothing wrong with me."
Ron scoffed "Your a bloody Skeeter your related to that twat Rita Skeeter who loves making Harry's life miserable."
"Don't call my aunt a twat and she wouldn't make his life miserable if he wasn't such a miserable sod."
"He wouldn't be such a miserable sod if your aunt just pissed off." Ron seethed.
"Ouch Ron." Harry frowned "I didn't know I was such a miserable sod and here I was thinking that I'd brightened up this year."
"You have Harry." Cassie earnestly "Don't mind Rose none of you just ignore her."
"Already done." Harry shrugged grinning as he tugged Brooklyn's sleeve so she followed him into the hall "Your friends are nuts." He pointed out.
"Who you telling." She muttered trying to tug her arm free but he tightened his grip "Let go please."
"Have breakfast with me...you promised."
She frowned "Did I?"
"Not with words but I do believe your lips agreed." He saw her eyes narrow and grinned "Come on."
The hall was mostly empty as most students had disappeared back upstairs to sleep some more, there was only a handful scattered sitting at their respectable tables.
"You sit here." He forced her into a seat on the empty Gryffindor table then sat beside her "I'll sit here and everyone else can sit wherever they please." Harry grinned at her pleased with himself.
"This won't be a regular thing Harry." she smiled "I have to eat with my house mates."
"No you don't." He lifted his hand to her chin and turned her face to his "By the way you look really sexy today."
"I'm in my lazy clothes."
"If this is lazy then I'd hate to see you dressed up...like last night for instance" He let go of her face and began helping himself to breakfast as both his and her friends eventually entered the hall and sat down around them.
"Can I ask why we're sitting at the Gryffindor table?" Rose asked with distaste.
"I don't know why your sitting here but I only invited Brooklyn." Harry said pointedly "And Cassandra can stay she doesn't piss me off like you do."
"Whatever."
"Rose just sit down and eat your damn apple." Cassie snapped tossing her an apple before helping herself to oatmeal "Always starting with people."
"I do not."
"Oh yes you do, you bought up my amazing summer." Brooklyn pointed her fork at her "I call that starting."
"So that really happened then," Hermione sat up straight in her seat "I mean your friend-"
"He's not my friend." Brooklyn shook her head quickly "He was just a...admirer."
"You let an admirer do that" Ron shuddered "I'd hate to see what you'd let Harry do and he's a bit more than a admirer."
Harry flicked a piece of scrambled egg towards Ron, it landed in his bowl of soggy cereal.
"Eww" Ron's lips turned up in disgust "I can't eat that Harry its got your germs on it now here Brooklyn you eat it since you swapped spit last night."
Rose coughed back up her orange juice into her glass and turned to glare at Brooklyn who was staring determinedly at her scrambled eggs on toast.
"You...two kissed!! Last night even!! I thought you were joking you actually kissed...Potter!!!" She exclaimed outraged.
Cassie squealed "You both look so good together."
"No!" They both answered eyeing each other briefly then turning away "No we're not!"
"Well good." Rose clucked "You don't need to be going out with the likes of him Brooklyn."
Harry rose in his seat, ready to lay into Rose but Brooklyn placed her hands over his shaking her head. "Harry just leave it she's not worth it just ignore her believe me she'll move onto something else soon enough."
"Don't be so sure," Rose sneered hearing Brooklyn's words "I'll always have something to say when it comes to the attention seeking prat you've developed a crush on."
"Rose just shut up" Cassie exclaimed slamming her hands on the table "Just shut the hell up, your jealous we get it I have Seamus, she has Harry and you have nobody but your stupid notebook. Nobody cares I don't care I've stopped caring for a long time I don't know why we still hang out with your bitter arse but I've had enough I'm officially through with you."
Cassie picked up a bran muffin from the basket then stalked out the hall, everybody remained silent but continued to stare at Rose.
"I think you should leave, it would be best." Ron advised with a whispered.
"I don't have to do anything." Rose hissed, her black eyes were swimming with tears and they all saw.
"Rose save yourself the embarrassment and leave." Brooklyn sighed "Please I'll see you later."
"Don't bother just stay with your precious Potter I don't need your friendship." Brooklyn flinched slightly at Rose harsh words closing her eyes "But just remember when he finally opens his eyes and sees your sluttish ways do not come crying back for me."
Rose stood to her feet and stormed from the table her blonde curls bouncing with her furious stomps.
"Don't worry about her Brooklyn" Hermione whispered reaching over to rub her hand "I'm sure once she's calm down she'll-"
"Stay the hell away from me" Brooklyn suddenly cut in rising to her feet.
"Brooklyn," Harry started "You honestly can't believe Rose can you."
"No I can't but she is right when you find out how I really am you'll loose interest fast...look I have to go."
Brooklyn pulled her hand away from Hermione's and left the table pulling her hood over her head just before she exited the hall.
"Harry go after her." Hermione hissed.
"No I say leave her. Storming off like that...girls are fickle." Ron objected.
"No Harry if you really like her go after her or if your just trying to piss of Malfoy stay here but she is hurt Harry, Rose was meant to be her friend." Hermione said glaring at Ron.
"I know Hermione I know." standing up Harry left the hall and made his way to the one place a Ravenclaw would seek solace; the library.
When he entered he saw the librarian Madame Pince peer at him over the top of the book she was reading her eyes narrowed before rising the book higher. Walking further into the quiet library he found Brooklyn browsing the shelf, her hood was still drawn.
"Brooklyn." He stood close behind her and laid a hand on her shoulder feeling her freeze.
"How did you know where I'd be?"
"Your a Ravenclaw where else would you be." He stated obviously.
"Touche," She shrugged off his hand and walked on looking at the titles she had passed "Can I help you with something?"
"I just wanted to know-"
"What Rose meant when she said my smutty ways right?" She shook her head lowering her hood "I'm not innocent Harry?"
"I didn't expect you to be especially in a place like-"
"No you don't understand" she looked him right in the eyes "I'm not innocent I've...done things that I wish I hadn't."
Realisation dawned on Harry's face. Brooklyn stuffed her hands into the pockets of her skirt drawing Harry's gaze to the silver charm bracelet hanging from it.
"You mean you..." He trailed off his eyes speaking a thousand words a minute.
"Yea and I'm not proud of it." she whispered "I was going through some things I'd just found out that my mum killed herself and my dad...well my dad nobody ever wishes to talk about him like he never existed, my aunt was engaged to be married but when she took over my care her fiancé jilted her and she threw herself into her work to fill the void I thought I was filling."
"How-how old were yo?u"
"13. I met this boy well he's a man now his name is Jase he's a muggle, he lived next door to us with his sister. Every morning he used to clean his motorbike in nothing but shorts showing his chest and I guess I developed a crush. Every time I went to take out the trash or bring in the milk I would always make sure I was in my most revealing clothes hoping he would notice me and eventually he did. He took me for a ride of his motorbike around the town he just showed me attention and affection which I was seeking. One day well night my aunt was late home I found myself in her room pulling on her tightest dress it was blood red with little blacks hearts all over and I put on her heels and put on her make-up I looked like a prostitute." She chuckled lightly at the memory "Anyway Jase said we'd go riding again and we did he took me to the highest hill behind the village and we did it we had sex. It was the best feeling in the world all 5 minutes of it but after I felt disgusting and used I felt like scum. When I got home I had a bath that was so hot it turned my skin red and I scrubbed until I was raw and bleeding and that's where my aunt found me. She could immediately tell what I'd done and called me a stupid selfish girl before hugging me and crying herself." Brooklyn explained feeling all the emotions from those years ago come back.
"You don't have to explain yourself to me Brooklyn." Harry mumbled.
"See Harry that's the thing I do, all the years I've been here I never paid you no attention sure you were the boy who lived. All the girls fancied you but I didn't to me you had problems I did not need to be dealing with so I ignored you I paid you no mind I only spoke to you unless I had too or if you spoke to me which you did and it was generally about Quidditch. But yesterday hell before yesterday you didn't treat me how the other boys around here treated me and I found myself starting to like you just a little bit more and more." She took a deep breath tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and continued. "I started to think you actually liked me I started to believe it but then Rose opened her mouth about something I regret with every fibre in my body and..." she shrugged trailing off.
"Wow" Harry said he didn't know what to do with himself. Brooklyn was clearly in pain at having to relieve her past but his feet were glued to the floor. Shouldn't he console her let her know that he doesn't care about her past and that he does like her a lot more than she realises. Shouldn't he be moving.
"Brooklyn" Harry reached out taking hold of the front of her hoodie and pulled her close. "I'm sorry about what happened to you."
"I did it to myself Harry." Her steely grey eyes were swimming with unshed tears. Harry hated girls crying he always felt guilty even when he had nothing to do with it.
"You were seeking solace I can understand that, your not the same as you were back then. Was he the only-"
"Yes." She nodded "Yes the only one and probably the last until I'm married." He nodded.
"I still like you Brooklyn. I still like you alot and what you told me I understand how you were feeling believe me I've felt that lonely before but not enough to go out and do something that drastic"
"You shouldn't like me Harry I'm not-"
"Brooklyn go out with me!" He rushed out.
Her eyes widened "What"
"Go out with me, be my girlfriend or whatever just go out with me I don't care about your past I have one although its not as colourful as yours but its there and I like you too much to care." She smiled "Will you go out with me Brooklyn Stronghold? Will you be my girlfriend?"
"I don't see why not." She whispered shyly.
He groaned rolling his eyes heavenwards "Why can't you just say yes like normal girls and squeal a little." Her arms came up around his neck pulling him closer and he murmured. "Why do you have to be difficult."
"I don't know I just am."
With a roll of his eyes Harry lowered his lips to Brooklyn. Out of her heels she was shorter than him not so much but he had to lower his head in order to feel her lips dance across his once again.
Brooklyn couldn't help smiling mentally to herself, Harry Potter was an excellent kisser and with her experience in the kissing department she could admit he was by far the best she had come across in her 17 years of existence.
There you go guys their together. As Troy and Gabriella sang its the start on something new...and blah blah blah I don't know the rest nor do I care. HSM is just not my thing...too cookies and milk for me. I need grit and lust and anger not jelly and ice cream.
