Sorry I have been really busy with this stupid assessment on Of mice and men in English so I have been busy revising with that to update but here we are a new chapter.
It was a couple of weeks after Harry had spoken to Maisie she kept replaying when they both departed to their tables in the Great hall "I guess this were we leave each other." Maisie said quietly.
"Yeah I guess so." Harry replied and before Maisie could stop her stop herself she kissed him on the cheeks and said "Thanks." Before Harry could contemplate what he had just endured, Maisie was already sitting at the Ravenclaw table dishing up the main course, while talking to Luna Lovegood, Harry heard Ron yelling for him to come over to their table before the food had gone, so he started to walk thinking and rubbing his cheek were Maisie had kissed him.
Thinking about it Harry hadn't seen Maisie since then but it was in Potions that Harry saw the unmistakable sight of red auburn gingery hair and standing next to her was Luna Lovegood, Kate Nehamee and Hermione Granger all talking in whispers. When Slughorn came out and asked them all to come in. Harry loved the fact that Professor Slughorn put him behind Maisie, but next to Ron and Neville, who luckily never noticed him looking at the back of Maisie's head until today when he was to busy staring at her, that he didn't notice Slughorn asking what potion was in phial he was holding everyone sniggered, "Urhmm." Harry said confused. but someones hand shot up and the pretty, airy, well-spoken voice that relaxed him completely said "It is Love potion sir."
"Well done Miss. Novis is not."
"Yes sir."
"Ten points to Ravenclaw."
When the bell rang Harry hung behind to try and talk to Maisie but realized that she wasn't there, so headed up to the Gryffindor tower but one his way he bumped into Hermione as usual on her way to the library, "Hey watch out Hermione your going to crash into someone."
"I need to get to library Harry, Luna, Kate and Maisie are there waiting for me."
"Did you say Maisie was there."
"Yes, she is one of my best friends anyway, why do you care."
"No reasons I just thought that I could join you that's all I need to start my Charms homework."
"Well by all means join us, Cho will be excited."
"Who else will." Hermione didn't reply because Cho had just come out of the library, but Harry had pushed her up against the wall and started kissing her, Cho muttered something under her breath and flounced away angrily, he had just pulled away when he heard a loud thunk of books and a crash of an ink bottle hit the floor looked away from Hermione's shocked face into Maisie's sad one, she had tears streaming down her face and onto the already ink soaked paper, she then sprinted round the corner Harry hot on her heels until she ran straight into Peeves the poltergeist "Maisie lazy sitting on a daisy had a little baby ." Then at that moment Maisie collapsed in a heap on the floor Peeves zoomed away cackling , she poured her eyes out crying when she heard footsteps and looked up once again into those dazzling emerald green eyes, he held out an hand but Maisie just looked away and folded her arms but she couldn't stop the tears that now where staining her face Harry spoke softly "It was only because Cho was there, and besides we aren't going out so-" But he had soon realized when said it this was a idea because Maisie turned around her face contorted with rage she shot back "Oh so just because we aren't going out you think you can just kiss my best friends even though you know I like you, and I thought you liked me, Hermione told me you kept staring at me in Potions but obviously she was wrong you were looking at her instead, I don't care what you do just don't go kissing my friends in front of me, oh and I just remembered I have to clean up my ink stains before Filch comes." She got up and went to walk back to the library but Harry grabbed her arm "I don't like Hermione in that way."
"Well thanks for taking your tongue out of one my best friends just to tell me that, get off me." Her voice was thick with sarcasm as she yanked her arm from her grip
"You know what I don't need you I am the chosen one I can get any girl I like."
"I can't believe I ever feel for you, you are a selfish and you know what I hate you don't come near me again, I-HATE-YOU." She stormed up the corridor looking positively livid with Harry muttering under her breath. Harry eyes started to prickle with tears he only wanted to make her understand that he was only kissing Hermione for Cho, when Harry thought life couldn't get any worse Kate came storming up at him Luna, Hermione and to his surprise Maisie running along in her wake trying to stop her "How dare you HARRY JAMES BLOODY POTTER, you have broken my best friends heart."
Hermione was pleading behind her saying "It was an accident Kate listen."
Kate stopped screaming at Harry at turned on Hermione "What did you just say-"
But Maisie stood in front of Hermione and and stated calmly "Don't worry it was an accident I can take from here don't worry." They all left hurrying along to Gryffindor tower and Ravenclaw common room for Luna, Harry said quietly "Thanks Maisie, I thought-"
But before he could finish Maisie turned around so that she was face to face with him and snarled "Don't thank me I was protecting Hermione and I didn't want to see anyone hurt, I never want to see you again and this is the last time we will ever speak." Harry made to grab her but the hurt in her eyes flashed she wasn't angry she was just very upset, he took on last look at him and turned away running down the corridor pouring her eyes out crying, Harry watched her till she finally rounded the corner and the flash of her red auburn ginger hair was out of sight, he traipsed back to the Gryffindor common room to find Kate full on locked like glue to Neville in the love seats in the corner, she saw Harry walk through portrait hole apologized to Neville who understood when he saw Harry and sulked off to the boy's dominatrices, Kate was fuming but when she saw his face glistening with tears and new ones now swimming in his emerald ones, she ran and hugged him before he fell she stroked his back and he cried onto her shoulder and whispered in her ear "I love her, and she has never noticed." Kate looked at him questioningly and replied "What."
