Chapter 2: Falling for your best friend

The four of them were all in good moods, and nothing could ruin it. Just then Ginny and her friends came to say congratulations to Ron and Hermione, and a bunch of other people came, which really delayed them all to eat dinner. But the last person that came to them, was Draco Malfoy.

"Ah, I see Weasel and the Mudblood finally got together." sneered Malfoy

"Shut up, Malfoy." said Evelyn.

"Aren't you two together?" he said, pointing at Evelyn and Harry. "That way you can all go on double dates, and its SO obvious she likes you, and you like her."

"I don't like her, and she doesn't like me." said Harry. When he saw Evelyn's hurt face, he gave her a look that said "I don't mean that". But Evelyn, nor Harry had ever thought about each other that way. But little did they know, they were falling for each other.

"Oh, defending your girlfriend, are you?" smirked Malfoy

"He is NOT my boyfriend!" yelled Evelyn at Malfoy.

"He will be. Don't you worry about that." said Malfoy, grinning maliciously. And with that, he walked off to the Slytherin table.

Harry's POV:

Harry was sitting in his dormitory, thinking about what Malfoy had said. Normally, he wouldn't have given a damn about what Malfoy said, but this time......... He did'nt like her that way, right? She had silky brown hair, sky blue eyes, fair skin, and she was beautiful. But he couldn't think of her that way. She was his best friend! And then it hit him. Malfoy was right. He was falling for his best friend.

Evelyn's POV:

Evelyn was lying down on her bed, also thinking whether, or whether not she liked Harry. He was very handsome, had emerald green eyes, had fair skin, and untidy black hair. What about him wasn't there to like? But he was her friend. She couldn't think of him that way, right? Then it dawned on her. She was in love with her best friend.

The next day at breakfast, Ron and Hermione noticed that Harry and Evelyn were acting very strange towards each other. They both looked at each other a lot, and seemed nervous. Harry was looking at Evelyn, and Evelyn turned around. That was the 5th time this morning.

"What?"asked Evelyn curiously.

"Nothing." mumbled Harry. Ron and Hermione looked at the pair with raised eyebrows.

"OK, whatever you say." said Evelyn, still curious.

The same behavior continued for 2 weeks, until Harry, Evelyn, and Ron and Hermione could take it no more.

In Potions, Harry and Evelyn were paired to make an extremely difficult potion. The polyjuice potion. They got it right in the end, thanks to the half-blood prince. Harry's potions book had been very helpful. At the end of class, Harry and Evelyn, and Ron and Hermione, were the only pairs who got the potion right. Harry grinned at Evelyn, and Evelyn grinned back. Since Harry was in The Slug Club, he was invited to his winter dance, and was allowed to bring a date. So he asked his best friend.

"Umm...Evelyn?"he asked.

"Yes?"she answered

"I was wondering........douwannagottothedancewithme?"he said in a rush.

"Excuse me?"asked Evelyn.

"I was saying.....do you want to go to slughorn's dance with me?" he said slowly and clearly.

"Oh, Harry!"she said."I would love to go to the dance with you!"

Harry grinned. Evelyn just gave him that gorgeous, graceful smile that she reserved just for him. Ron and Hermione just looked at them, grinning.

When they left for class, Ron and Hermione nodded at each other, grabbed Harry and Evelyn's arm, and steered them into and empty classroom. They crossed their arms, and raised their eye-brows at them.

"So?"asked Hermione

"So........what?"said Harry.

"So, are you two finally going to admit that you like each other?"she asked.

"I dont like him!"yelled Evelyn at the same time Harry yelled: "I dont like her!"

"Oh, shut up and just admit it."said Ron. After a few moments of silence, the first outburst came.

"I LOVE YOU!"shouted Evelyn at Harry. After realizing what she had just done, Evelyn slapped her hand over her mouth, wide-eyed. She looked at Ron and Hermione's grinning faces, and Harry's blank stare. Then, Harry through himself on Evelyn, and started snogging her. Hermione and Ron grinned broader than ever. Eventually Harry helped Evelyn up from the ground, and the couple made their way to Transfiguration.
Hermione and Ron were reliving what had just happened, and snickering.
