Chapter 3 Lock the door
Rule #3 When sneaking around always lock the door
Giggling shadows of a young couple ran across the stone wall of the castle. Even in a time of war and death, love still flourished. But sadly in a school full of hundreds of students and staffers. Each constantly stepping on one another left very little room for romance.
Especially if you had a reputation like one, Harry James Potter. Known for his dangerous heroics called by many names. A celebrated wizard at the age of one year.
"I can't believe, I forgot my examination prep sheets!" said a Rvenclaw 7th year to her elated friend.
"I can, Mirada. You would forget your head and wear a boulder if it wasn't attached!" Miranda just shrugged.
"Speaking of attached and rocks. You will never believe who's on the rocks now!" Miranda squealed.
"Who?" her friend asked excited about a bit of fresh gossip. "Hannah and Ernie? Roger and Allis?
"Cho and Micheal!" Her friend spat out, they never liked the girl. Always thought she was a little too uppity for a Ravenclaw.
"Oh, please, those two should've never gotten together to begin with." Her friend sighed, knowing her friend always had the scoop. Even before everyone else.
"I know what you mean!" Miranda snorted, "After the fiasco with the Potter boy, She should not have even tried to date for a little while."
"HA! Fiasco is right! I heard he made her cry on their date!" She scathed.
"Not TRUE!" Miranda countered, "and I wouldn't count that mockery a date." She huffed out.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm missing something? Cho said-
"She lied!" Miranda snapped out, "I overheard Harry's best friend, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Loony Lovegood talking in the girls' bathroom few days after it happened. They were discussing what had really happened that day. I even asked Roger Davis, too. He was there!"
"But Cho-
"Ooohhh, I know what she said," Miranda seethed, "But thats nowhere near the truth!" She snapped, "apparently not even halfway through their 'date', she started talking about Cedric. Then she started interigating Harry. The nut even tried to make him jealous. Through the whole mockery, she never asked Harry how he was handling Cedric's death. But kept on about how she felt. Roger said, when she started ripping into Harry, he just sat there with a cold blank expression. Not bothering to defend himself. Roger even said, it looked as if Harry had shut down. Then she dismissed him, Harry got up and paid the bill and ordered her a pot of herbal tea before leaving!" She retorted.
"Wow, umm... what were we doing up here, again?" Her friend asked realizing they had stopped walking.
"Oh! Right! My exam sheets." Miranda said turning back down the Charms corridor. "It will only take a second." She said pausing at the door to the 7th years Charms classroom. "How odd, he said the door would be open?"
"He probably closed it by accident."
Miranda through open the door hard enough that it CRACKED loudly as it struck the wall. Causing the couple, who had moments before been locked in a heated embrace oblivious of the two Ravenclaws, to jump a part startled out of their reveler. They gave a shriek and tore out of the classroom. Both wore the signature colors of Gryffindor house. But what really caught their attention wasn't their disheveled appearance. But the boy!
"WAS THAT!" Her friend shrieked as the pair nearly fell as they turned the corner at break-neck speed.
They heard the girl shout, "You forgot to lock the door!"
Chuckling they heard Harry reply, "Sorry, Gin!"
"Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley snogging!" Miranda grinned, "Now, that's news!"
Giggling the pair grabbed the Exam sheets and headed for the great hall for dinner.
There they ran a searching gaze over the Gryffindor table. Ginny Weasley was easy to spot. Her flaming red hair was a beacon. She was sitting with a group of 5th years. Her face still held a light blush. Her head kept turning towards the far end of the table. Taking the hint they spotted Harry returning her smile.
"A secrete romance?" Her friend asked as Harry's best friend and Quidditch Keeper, Ron Weasley saw this and with a shake of his head. A roar of laughter tore through the Gryffindor table.
"Only to those who aren't Gryffindors," Miranda surmised, watching the two turn red, "Maybe next time they'll lock the door."
Giggling the pair sat together, discussing the newest revelation of Harry Potter. As the couple tried not to draw too much attention.
