As fast as she fell asleep, as fast the morning came.

Today they would clean but when Paige said that she would help, Mrs. Weasley gave her a scarf to cover her mouth and nose and was ordered not to help and sit on the couch. Paige could do one thing and that was keeping an eye on the antidote and stand ready if one of them got hurt.

'It's Doxycide.' Mrs. Weasley said to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George. 'I've never seen an infestation this bad, what that house-elf 's been doing for the last ten years...'

Hermione's face was half concealed by a tea towel but Harry distinctly saw her throw a reproachful look at Mrs. Weasley at these words.

'Kreacher's really old, he probably couldn't manage -.' Hermione tried to say.

'You'd be surprised what Kreacher can manage when he wants to, Hermione.' Said Sirius, who had just entered the room carrying a bloodstained bag of what appeared to be dead rats. 'I've just been feeding Buckbeak.' He added, in reply to Harry's and Paige's inquiring look. 'I keep him upstairs in my mother's bedroom. Anyway . . . this writing desk . . .'

After a while of talking they started working as Paige watched them, or at least Harry. Every time he would look her way she looked away. She couldn't get last night out of her head. She had never slept so peacefully.

She could see him smile every time he noticed she was looking at him. It made her smile even more, she liked seeing him smile. It became sort of her mission to make him smile more. Definitely now, at the time of trouble.

Paige turned her head again towards Harry.

She thought about how it would be to kiss him, how his lips would taste. Letting her imagination play.

Now when Harry looked Paige didn't look away, she stared at him in a bit of a dreamy way. Then she blinked a few times coming back to earth, blushed and looked away again.

She jumped up a bit when the doorbell rang and Mrs. Weasley went downstairs as the rest of them went to the door to listen.

'Mundungus is talking to Sirius and Kingsley.' Fred muttered, frowning with concentration. 'Can't hear properly... Do you reckon we can risk the Extendable Ears?'

'Might be worth it.' Said George. 'I could sneak upstairs and get a pair-.'

But at that precise moment there was an explosion of sound from downstairs that rendered Extendable Ears quite unnecessary. All of them could hear exactly what Mrs. Weasley was shouting at the top of her voice.

'WE ARE NOT RUNNING A HIDEOUT FOR STOLEN GOODS!'

'I love hearing Mum shouting at someone else.' Said Fred, with a satisfied smile on his face as he opened the door an inch or so to allow Mrs. Weasley's voice to permeate the room better. 'It makes such a nice change.'

'— COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE, AS IF WE HAVEN'T GOT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITHOUT YOU DRAGGING STOLEN CAULDRONS INTO THE HOUSE-.'

'The idiots are letting her get into her stride.' said George, shaking his head. 'You've got to head her off early, otherwise she builds up a head of steam and goes on for hours. And she's been dying to have a go at Mundungus ever since he sneaked off when he was supposed to be following you, Harry and there goes Sirius's mum again-.'

Harry turned towards Paige. 'Are you okay?' He mumbled, Paige nodded. She was holding her hand to her head, but it felt just fine. They heard Mrs. Weasley walk back upstairs, everybody went back to work. Paige jumped on the couch when Mrs. Weasley walked into the room. She nodded and went back to work like the others, without saying a word.

The rest of the day they kept cleaning up the house for a bit. Finding all strange things that Sirius would just throw away.

Later on the day, Paige was sitting on the couch reading a book. Tomorrow would be the day that Harry needed to go to the ministry of magic because he had used magic. She tapped her hand on her book. She felt nervous.. Paige sighed looking at her watch, closed her book and walked to the hallway. Paige walked past an open door seeing Harry. She stopped and took a few steps back.

'What are you doing?' She asked, making Harry jump up and turn around towards Paige.

'Nothing, I was just thinking.' Harry answered.

'Just thinking...' Paige said with a small smile.

Harry laughed. 'Yeah.' His laugh faded. 'Thinking about tomorrow. I guess I'm nervous.'

'Don't worry.' Paige walked towards him, putting her hand on his shoulder. 'There's no reason for them to kick you out of school. It was self-defense, they can't kick you out of school for that.'

'I know but I have a feeling that something will go wrong.' Harry mumbled.

'Okay, then if they kick you out everyone would still be here to help you. Harry nobody is going to leave you here alone. You're never alone.'

Harry just stood there looking at her with his green eyes.

'Why are you so nice to me?' He asked, taking hold of her hands.

'I should be the one asking that to you.' Paige smiled, feeling butterflies flying in her stomach.

'Paige, can I ask you something?' Harry seemed nervous for a reason.

Paige nodded, still looking in his eyes.

'Would you... uhh, I mean. What I like to ask you is if...' Harry stumbled. Paige raised her eyebrows trying not to giggle.

'What is it you want to ask?'

'Well you know that I like you, I, like, think about you all the time.. and the warm feeling I feel when I see you. I just… Well…' His face couldn't be redder. 'And I hope you feel the same way about me.' He stumbled on, avoiding her gaze a bit.

'I do.' Paige said feeling very warm. Did Harry just say he liked her, thought about her all the time…

'You do?' He almost looked surprised.

'Well I hoped you noticed a bit.' Paige felt slightly embarrassed. Maybe she hadn't shown enough how much she was into him.

'Yes, I have but you know maybe I was wrong…' Harry gaf a small laugh like he was relieved. Then Harry looked around, making sure nobody else was near. He pulled Paige a bit closer towards him. 'This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time..'

Before Paige knew it she felt Harry's lips gently brushing on her own. When Paige didn't pull back, Harry pressed his lips fully on hers. She took a step towards him, getting closer still.. Paige felt a weave of happiness inside her body explode. It tasted greater than she had ever imagined.

Harry was longing to do that for such a long time. He took her hands in his, squeezing softly. He didn't want this to stop, it felt like he was in heaven. For the first time in his life he felt no emptiness inside of him; he felt somewhat happy. Her soft lips on his, her hand touching his skin. He didn't worry about anything, not even about tomorrow. Nothing.

Paige let go of his lips but stayed close to him, a big smile formed on her face. She looked done a bit and giggled, 'I can't believe nobody interrupted us.'

Harry let out a laugh. 'Yeah.' He blushed as he started playing with Paige's fingers. 'What I actually wanted to ask if you wanted to be with me?' He asked looking back at her.

'Like a couple?' Paige's smile got bigger as Harry nodded.

'I get it if you don-.' Harry started but Paige stopped him with another kiss, putting her arms around his neck. She could get used to this, just kissing him when she wanted. Not having to just daydream about it. This was real… She felt his arms wrap around her waist.

Still with her eyes closed she moved her mouth to his ears.

'I would love to.' She whispered, giving Harry goosebumps.

'Are you sure, I mean what your mother did just 'cause we were sending each other letters...' Harry started, Paige put a finger on his mouth.

'Well I don't care what she thinks. At Hogwarts we will be holding hands, kissing in public and all the other stuff couples do.' Paige said, watching Harry trying to hide a smile.

'But if I never go back to Hogwarts.'

'Of course you will. And if you don't I will just stay with you.'

'You shouldn't.' Harry said.

'I know that but I still will do it.' She said smiling. 'I'm not leaving you alone, whether you like it or not.'

Harry hugged her.. She wanted to be with him! He almost couldn't believe it. He also couldn't believe he just asked her and that he just kissed her. He could still feel her lips on his even though there was no kissing happening right now. His grin got bigger, butterflies in his stomach. He could kiss her now, whenever he wanted!

Paige was lying in bed, she looked at her watch. She was awake the whole night, nervous for Harry. As much as she believed they wouldn't kick him off school just like that, she had a feeling they wouldn't believe him either. After Harry said Voldemort was back the ministry hasn't been that good to him or anyone for that matter.

She heard footsteps in the hallway, Paige stood up and still in her pajamas opened the door. She saw a boy with black hair walking down stairs. Slowly and quietly she walked down stairs as well.

Paige heard Mr. Weasley talking to Harry, she waited until they were done talking and walked in. Everyone looked at her, but Paige only saw Harry. 'Can I speak with you before you go?'

Harry nodded and walked with Paige to the hallway.

'Something wrong?' He asked.

'Well, nothing is really wrong.' said Paige, coming a bit closer towards Harry. 'I just wanted to see you.'

Harry laughed softly. 'You're adorable.' He said holding her hands in his.

'I'm so not.' Paige said. 'I'm super cool.'

Harry laughed louder.

Paige smiled, feeling happy she made him laugh.

'You will be okay,' She said, squeezing his hand.

He looked down, shaking his head. 'What if I won't be okay.'

Paige shook her head and kissed Harry softly on his mouth. 'It will be, it has to be.' Paige mumbled and walked away backwards before turning and leaving Harry standing in the hallway with his finger touching his lips.
