Decided to set Dey off on this search to have something interesting :)

You'll see more about it on the next chapter.

Chapter 17

The next morning, Deyanira left even before Harry woke up to the great hall. She felt someone was coming her way and she looked to find Luna, skipping to her.

"Morning, Dey", Luna said, sitting beside her.

"Hey, any luck with your book?", Dey asked after she wiped her mouth.

"Sadly, no."

"Well I have mine, here.", Deyanira slid it over the table to her and Luna took it in her hands, hugging it.

"Thanks, I'm behind on that essay. I'm going to the library after I eat something."

"Do you need help?"

"It'll be helpful.", Dey let out a little laugh, with Luna's ironic tone.

Luna served herself a plate and joined Dey in the meal. When they were done, they headed to the library. Deyanira was relief she didn't pump with Harry or George, they would just attack her with questions.

"Have you seen Dey?", George asked about an hour later when he was done eating and saw Harry entering the great hall with Ron and Hermione.

"I thought she was with you. I woke up and she was gone."

"How do you know she was gone?", Hermione asked, curious.

"Ah…I asked a girl from third year, she said she wasn't in the room."

"Wait a minute…did Hagrid returned?", Ron asked, something didn't make sense.

"N-No-"

"Harry has been sleeping with Fred and I and the others of 7th year.", George was ahead of Ron and Hermione's questioning, "N.E. are this year and we thought Harry can give us an extra tutoring."

"But, why can't he tutor you during the day?", Hermione was still very curious, so was Ron.

"C'mon, Hermione. Owls, Umbridge, D.A. meeting, I need a little break during the day. I give them a little tutoring before bed, get some rest and while we get up I…review them. They have done a really good job so far, by the way."

"Aw, thank you", George gave him a cocky grin, "Um, back to Dey, though-"

"But-"

"She might be in the girls' bathroom.", Harry interrupted Hermione and George nodded.

"I'll check and let you know. Thanks."

George stormed off before anything else. Ron and Hermione looked at Harry, asking what was going on. Harry just gave them a smile and quickly found a place beside Neville. George went running to the girls' bathroom, but she wasn't there. He ran back to her room and nothing. He started to ask around, but no one had seen her, only a few people saw her go down to breakfast. Dey and Luna were now reviewing the History of Hogwarts and Dey would say some things to help her. On the way, they would take breaks and have their nice chats. Dey was starting to feel very comfortable around her and liked how Luna treated her like a girl, just a girl, not even another witch. Dey took a book they had use and placed it on a shelf, but something called her attention, 'Creatures in Danger'. She took it and flipped trough it until she found what she was looking for, 'Banshees'. Luna saw she was taking long and walked to her to have a look into it.

"Banshee's are terrifying looking creatures who have no control over themselves and can kill anyone who crosses their paths.", Luna read and then took a thought, "that's not true…you're quite pretty.", Deyanira laughed, seeing how Luna took away the less important detail.

"I appreciate it, but…this is what I might become one day."

"I don't believe that, Dey. You don't really either. You're just consume by all that has happened to you.", Luna spoke while Dey kept flipping trough the pages, "if you want, we can look for the answers you need. I have nothing else to do."

"Would you really help me?"

"Yes, I owe you. Plus I might find more about Wrackspurts."

Dey just gave her a faint smile, wanting to ask what it was, but at the same time not really wanting too. Luna gathered her belongings so they would have more space, but in time it wasn't needed. They only found about 6 books that talked about Banshee's and it was mostly the same old stories of people who have faced them. None really gave Dey any answers.

"Dey?", a voice called her, "Harry and George have been looking everywhere for you?", Hermione said, walking to them and passing her eyes trough the open pages, Dey noticed and got kind of annoyed of Hermione's nosey attitude; she stood in the way so Hermione wouldn't get any more peaks, but she noticed too.

"Why doesn't Harry just looks for me in the map?", Dey asked with arms crossed.

"He has been too stressed…looking for you.", Hermione didn't trust Dey, and she could feel it, "banshees…interesting creatures if you ask me."

"They are, aren't they?", Luna spoke, "I was just telling Dey about the time my uncle faced one…it was actually…nice."

"Nice?", Hermione said with a chuckle.

"Well compare to how nasty people make them look…she didn't scream at him. She was just curious, but he lived.", Hermione looked back at Dey, who was glaring at her.

"Well…I'm guessing you've had heard enough. Maybe a break is needed for both."

"Thanks"

Dey turned around, closing the books and making a pile to grab them all.

"See you around."

Both sent each other a sarcastic smile before Dey walked away to place the books where they belonged. Dey and Luna left to get ready for dinner.

"Harry, I have a bad feeling about Dey", Hermione said when he caught him and Ron going down to dinner, "first off when I found her at the library, it looked like she had been all day there and didn't seem to care you and George were nuts looking for her."

"So? She just takes things more calmly than you, Hermione.", Harry said, making Ron chuckled.

"Plus, she had a couple of books…all in the subjects of Banshee. Harry, you do know they are dangerous?"

"Yes, so?"

Hermione just sighed and rolled her eyes, picking up her pace. Ron looked at Harry and he didn't look worried at all, but he could tell Harry was hiding something. During dinner, Dey spent it at the Ravenclaw table, beside Luna, something George didn't noticed since he didn't think about that idea. When she reached the common room, his arms surrounded her.

"I finally see you", he said after he got apart and smiled at her, she had to smile back, "where have you been?"

"At the library."

"Really?", he asked, pulling her to the couch.

"Yeah, trying to find some info I needed."

"Any luck?"

"Yeah, yeah, homework done, so, nothing for last minute.", he chuckled and she just smiled.

She didn't know why, she just didn't feel like having him helping her on this, she wanted to do it on her own. She knew he would tell Harry and Harry would tell Dumbledore. She just rested from him as he hugged her and talk to her in this calming voice that could put her to sleep easily, especially with the warmth of the fire right beside them. It was the next day, Monday after school; Harry and George had Quidditch practice since a game was on the way. Dey, Luna, Ron and Hermione went to make company and watch from the towers. Every time George needed the boost, he would look down to see Dey and she would wave at him. If he got too distracted, Angelina would yell at him and snap him right back. He noticed a bludger was passing close to the tower Dey and the others were and he took the chance to hit it and stop in front of Dey, floating. He grabbed her chin to pull her closer for a kiss. Harry and Fred grinned to each other when they saw, but Angelina wasn't so happy for them.

"This is practice, Weasley! You can get in her skirt after!", she yelled, making Dey stop and laugh.

George just laughed too before going back to the field. Dey sat back down beside Luna who had her eyes on the practice. Dey suddenly felt the scene went on mute and she felt cold. She heard her mother's screams and her father's yells at her to run away from her house. Then she remembered how she saw Harry dead, Luna and George too. She looked at Luna, making sure she was fine and she noticed something was wrong. She looked up and saw Harry and George were fine too, but that didn't keep the scenes away. She got up and ran out with Luna behind just a second after. George just hit a bludger at Fred before he looked down and didn't see Dey, which worried him. He saw Harry flying behind the snitch and he flew to him until they were side by side.

"Where's Dey?"

"What?", Harry asked, slowly stopping and looking to the towers, she wasn't around.

"Weasley! Potter! Don't make go there!", Angelina yelled, but they took a few seconds to process it.

"Dey…", Luna saw Dey, sitting on the stairs. She had collided there, feeling weak, "just breathe deep, what you saw it's in the past."

"N-No! H-Harry and George! They were-they were-", a gasp cut her off and she got her head between her knees. Luna sat beside her and got closer.

"Illusions. Nothing will happen to them. Please, just breathe in, slow and deep. Erase them, think of something happy. Think hard."

Dey started to look into her memories, good ones with her parents and Harry. When she met George, even when Fred pretended to be him. When they first kiss and he help her against Mike Court at the library. What he just did, kiss her in the middle of practice and then came Luna. When they met at the first D.A. meeting and every time they pair up to practice spells and how they have helped each other. She felt two thin arms around her neck, making her jump and open her eyes, but she felt her heart slowing down when she noticed it was Luna, hugging her tenderly. Dey started to breathe in, slow and deep.

"Thanks…", she whispered and Luna smiled.

"No problem", Luna answered, still hugging her.

Both heard stumps going up the stairs, making the girls look. It was Harry and George with their brooms in hand.

"Dey, you alright?", George asked as Dey got up.

"Y-yeah-", George pulled her for a hug before she could finish completely.

"Really?"

"Y-yeah…don't worry, false alarm.", Dey smiled at him and he smiled back.

"I'll um…tell Angelina you're in a bathroom break.", Harry said, with a grin, before he went back down.

"I'll see you later, Dey", Luna said before walking away.

"Let's go somewhere else.", George smiled at her.

"What about practice?"

"Angelina won't mind.", Dey had to laugh, "I don't, so that's enough…I just want to be with you at the moment."

Dey looked to his eyes and she knew she needed the time with him too, now more than ever. Both went down to the locker room and Dey waited until he changed to his school robes and both walked out, just holding hands and having small talks as they walked trough the grounds and the castle. They didn't go to dinner. While everyone was down there, both were eating sweets in Dey's room. Even if Dey was smiling, she couldn't help feeling bother by something, more like someone.

"Harry, can I ask you something?", Dey asked Harry, a week later, while they sat on the great ring.

"Sure."

"Um…it is possible if a guy likes a guy, right?"

"Yeah", Harry said, in a weird tone, surprised of her question.

"So if the case is with girls, right?"

"Yeah, it's normal."

"So…any cases in Hogwarts?"

"Not that I know off, al though…Seamus and Dean might be on the rumors.", Harry joked and she laughed, "but why you asked?"

Dey took a paused, thinking if to answer him or not. She needed to get this out, she has been spending too much time with Luna and she feels really confused.

"I…I think I like someone else."

"What about George?", he was surprised to hear that after seeing how much time they spend together.

"I…I like him…still, yeah…but I just think I like someone else too…"

"Well…have you thought about it-I mean, what do you like about George and the other?"

"…with George…he makes me laugh and when we do pranks, I have fun…he makes me feel special and he protects me…now with Luna…-"

"Luna?", Harry said surprised.

"Yeah"

"Oh…um…continue."

"…With Luna…she makes me smile and laugh too…I have fun with her…and she doesn't make me feel special, and that's kind of good…to just feel normal…and…she makes me want to protect her…that feels good to…to feel that you're needed."

"Wow…contradictions, don't you think?"

"I know…I feel I'm hurting George…he treats me so well…like every girl wants to be treated…but it's nice to get a break."

"…why don't you tell him? I'm sure that if you explain you're confuse he will understand."

"I don't know…I think I should find out for myself first and then tell him…if it is something, if not, then let it go."

"I'm here just in case.", he smiled at her and she gave him a nod, accepting his help.

Preview of next chapter:

"Hey, Fred…", George turned to his brother, "wanna know something funny about our friend, Deyanira?"

"George!", Dey said, giving a step forward and her eyes were shining with tears.

George looked back at her and his heart shattered when he saw the first tear peak out.

"I'll tell you upstairs.", he said before walking away.
