Chapter 9

We found a table at the back which gave us some sort of privacy, and I took the oportunity to have a little talk with Casandra, one of the many we would be having in the future, I was sure of it. "Casandra, snap out of it! Can you stop acting like a crazy fan? I mean, yes he's famous and yes he's a hero but he is also human."

"I know he's human Amanda, duh, but I don't know what you are talking about."

"fine, act that way if you want but ask yourself one question and when you answer it right, everything will be much easier for all of us, especially in the future. Can you tell the difference between the-Boy-Who-Lived and Harry Potter?"

"of course-"

"don't answer me, think about it first and tell me what your answer is only when you are really sure." That's all I said before letting silence settle in. A few minutes later Harry joined us and handed out the butterbeers.

"so Amanda, what do you want to talk about? It's your turn, remember?"

"what do you want to know?"

"how about we start with your birthday?"

"august 8, my parents were in a Hotel when the contractions started, I was two weeks early, they thought they had plenty of time and were visiting a relative. My mom loved to tell that story." Silence settled between them for a few minutes, before she continued "I'm not allergic to any kind of food, so there's nothing to worry about that, I hate pink, don't like to wear tons of make up, oh! And skirts annoy me, jeans are much more comfortable. So what about you?"

But before he could answer lots of camera flashes went off, and when I looked up I saw... reporters trying to get closer to us and Madam Rosmerta was trying to stop them. Harry didn't look happy.

He turned to us and said "we should go, I'll walk you two back to school, stay close." He stood up and walked around the table, waiting for us to get up. We started walking towards the exit, in a sort of single file, Harry in front and me bringing up the rear, but the reporters attempting to get closer outnumbered us. Since they were blocking our way out, Harry stepped to the side, and tried to create a passage for us with his right arm, Casandra walked in front of us, and he kept his left arm on my back to make sure we stayed together. When the reporters surrounded us we saw the flaw in our plan, Harry's plan. Even though it helped us move toward our goal, the entrance door, our progress was very slow until a guy unknown to us at Hogwarts came up and tried to pave a way for us on my other side.

With his help we got out in five minutes, and we were on our way back to school. "thanks Colin"

"no problem Harry" He said with a grin.

The guy went on his way, we continued walking through the small town to make our way to the school grounds. We didn't talk during our walk, Casandra and Harry were lost in their own thoughts and I wasn't sure what to say.

"lets go to the lake" It was Harry who broke the silence and started walking in that direction, we followed him without saying a word. He headed towards the trees that sorounded part of the lake, where people liked to sit in their shade and continued walking without so much as a second glance. As we walked the number of trees increased considerably until we came to a clearing that was amazing, I couldn't believe that this place was so close to where everyone liked to hang out and none of us had found it. There were big rocks on the shore of the lake, some were half in the water and half on the ground, some roots were big enough to provide benches, that looked perfect for relaxing and reading, and most of the clearing was covered in shades from the big trees. Harry had stopped and had been watching us, he didn't talk until my eyes landed on him.

"I found this place back in six year, it always had a calming efect on me and provided the perfect place to relax and talk in private, I only showed it to three people before you two, it hasn't changed in all this years" he sat down on a root while he was talking "you should sit down, theres' something you should know". He waited until we had done so before he continued.

"I don't know how to tell you this but I'm just going to say it, I have to marry someone else besides you two, I'm also engaged to Ginny Weasley"

I was speachless, I wasn't expecting this, I don't know what I was expecting. But Casandra on the other hand, wasn't. She stood up and started screaming.

"what!!!!! You can't do that!! you have to do what the law says, your engagement with her doesn't count anymore!! The law only said I had to share you with Amanda! It only allows two wives!"

Harry was shocked by her reaction, he didn't know what to do, his eyes jumped from her to me in case I started screaming too. Casandra had tears in her eyes, and I guess that made me react, I went to her and put my arms around her. I tried to calm her while I gathered my thoughts. When she finaly quieted a little, I turned to Harry.

"could you explain what you mean?"

"here, this will explain everything" and he handed me his ministry letter.

I took it and read it, then I handed it to Casandra, when she finished reading it she let it fall to the ground, turned around and ran, leaving us alone.

"is she alright?" he asked.

"not riht now but she will be"

"how do you know?"

"she needs time, she'll go to her room, and then someone will talk to her"

"you sure?"

"yeah, don't worry. Maybe I should be going too"

"Amanda, wait, I think we should talk"

"about what?"

"everything, take a seat" after a pause "where should we start?" asked Harry.

"I don't know, what do you want to talk about?"

"how about we start with what do you think of this whole situation?"
