Paige was standing in the hallway, she was waiting and waiting.
Then she saw Pansy walking, alone. Just what she wanted.
Paige smiled walking towards her. Without a word Paige dragged Pansy to an empty classroom.
'Paige what are you doing?' Pansy said eager to get out.
'I wanna know answers.' Paige said, closing the door.
'Answers to what?'
'Why NOBODY is talking to me, from the Slytherins.'
Silence.
'Well?' Paige pushed.
'I will show you later.' Pansy said fast passing Paige and opening the door. 'I am really sorry, Paige.'
She walked out of the room leaving Paige standing alone, more confused than she was before.
'Thanks, Pansy!' She yelled but no answer.
'Paige?' Draco said when he walked into the room.
'Wow, somebody is talking to me!' Paige said sarcastically.
Draco looked a bit shocked, sighed and closed the door behind him. 'I really need to talk to you.'
'Now do you?' Paige said, sitting down on a chair.
'I have to warn yo-.'
'Draco I'm not going to have this conversation with you.' Paige said looking into his eyes. 'I will not leave Harry. Not if only I will get hurt. I don't care about that. If Harry is happy and smiling, I don't care about what will happen to me.'
Draco closed his eyes, he sighed.
'But I care about you, isn't that something.' He said frustrated. 'You are my best friend, I don't like to see you hurt.'
'But don't you see that Harry and the others make me happy.'
'Yes but I do think about what your mother will do if she gets her hands on you. I mean look at what she did to Hope-.'
'Shut up!' Paige said, strongly standing up. 'We do not speak about that, Draco. Not EVER!'
Draco looked to the ground. 'Fine, then stay with them, but I am not going to help you!' He said irritatedly storming out.
'Like you ever helped me!' Paige said, watching him walk away. She dropped back down on her chair, her head in her hands.
Paige, Harry, Hermione and Ron were standing before a wall with the other students behind them.
'This is the place?' Paige asked Harry, looking at the wall. There weren't even paintings, there was nothing. 'A hallway?'
'No, it's behind the wall.' Harry said smiling.
'And how are we going to get behind the wall?' Paige asked, slightly moving her head to the left.
Harry started walking three times past the wall. With almost everybody's surprise a door appeared.
'Well, yeah that's a way.' Paige said, kissing Harry on the mouth quickly before walking to the door and opening it.
It was big, with a fireplace and training dolls.
'It's the Room of Requirement.' Hermione said. 'It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back.'
'That's awesome.' Ron said, looking around the room.
'So with what are we going to start?' Paige asked Harry when they all entered the room.
'Well I think the best thing is to go for Expelliarmus.' Harry said.
'O come on, we know that one!' Some kid yelled.
'Well it saved me a lot so I think it's very good to learn it.' Harry explained.
'Fine, then we will.' Paige said, smiling patting Harry on the shoulder.
Everybody stood in a row, waiting for their turn. Neville pointed his wand at one of the dolls. 'Expelliarmus!' Instead of making the doll move the wand of Neville flew right out of his hand. The people behind him bent down to avoid the wand.
'I'm hopeless.' Neville groaned.
'You just need to swing your wand less.' Harry said, raising his wand. 'Expelliarmus.' The wand from the doll flew out of his hand. 'Just keep practicing. Okay next.'
When it was Paige's turn, she looked at Harry who was standing next to her. He smiled, making her heart skip a beat.
Paige lifted up her wand, pointing it to the doll's wand. Closing her eyes for a second. 'Expelliarmus!' Paige said, opening her eyes. The wand flew out of his hand.
A bigger smile placed on Harry's face. 'That was brilliant.' He said putting his hand on her shoulder.
'Thank you.' Paige said happy, letting the one behind her go take a shot at it.
At the end of the class, everybody packed to leave. Paige grabbed her bag smiling to herself. 'You were pretty good today.' She heard a voice behind her.
'Thank you, Professor Potter.' She replied, turning around putting her bag on her back.
Harry laughed.
finally a real laugh from Harry. Paige thought.
In just one second his smile changed to the most serious face that she has ever seen.
'What's wrong?' Paige asked, panicking, feeling like she did something wrong.
'I just overthinking stuff I guess.' Harry sighed.
'About what?' She said almost too scared to ask.
'About your supposed sister.' Harry said, locking his eyes on hers. 'The one Crouch Jr. mentioned.'
'I already told you, I didn't know I had-.'
'Paige please, I just don't believe that.'
Paige felt her stomach turn still looking at each other.
'And I will not make you talk if you don't want to, but I am not going to let this rest either. It's not that I want to hurt you, Paige. But I want you to trust me, I want you to know that you can tell me everything and I will never let you go.' Harry added.
Paige didn't know what to say; she swallowed trying to get the lump she felt in her throat out.
'Paige,' Harry said gently. 'I won't push you okay, I just want you to know that you can trust me.. Whatever happened I won't leave you..' He leaned forwards kissing her quickly on her lips..
Harry turned around and walked out of the room leaving Paige standing frozen in the room with her hand over her mouth.
Paige was sitting on her bed. Thinking about what Harry had said to her. She couldn't help but feel a tear running over her cheek.
But it was all my fault.
I should never have done that.. If I had just taken it…
Paige shut her eyes, feeling extremely upset.
She heard people coming upstairs. With a speed she wiped her tears away and placed herself under her blankets. Paige heard her Slytherin roommates laughing about boys and what they did today. They got ready for bed. But before they were done Paige felt her eyes get heavy. falling in a deep sleep.
Paige woke up. Looking around the room, seeing that everybody already left. Today was the Quidditch game. Slytherin VS Gryffindor.
She kicked off her blackest and stooped up. Today was Sunday so no class. She walked to her trunk and opened it, looking for something nice to wear.
Paige trembled, a window was left open. A cold wind flew through the room.
She closed it, walking to her (now open) trunk and grabbed a salmon colored sweater out of it, throwing it on her bed. She stripped, looking in the mirror. She saw that she gained some weight. Not that it bothered her, it actually looked good on her. Then her eyes rested on her scar on her shoulder.
This will be a reminder of what you have done. Paige could hear her mother say.
Sighing she put on her clothes and walked to the Great hall and sat next to Harry.
'Good morning!' He said cheerfully.
'Good morning.' Paige said back slowly, looking at a black owl flying towards her.
He landed before Paige. She slowly grabbed the letter he was holding. When she had it the owl flew away.
'Weird, owls don't usually bring mail on this day.' Hermione said who was sitting opposite of Harry.
'Open it.' Ron said excitedly.
Paige opened it, there were two letters. The first one was short and in the handwriting of Pansy.
Dear Paige,
I am sending you this letter to let you know the reason.
I'm sorry.
Paige noticed that there was no sender on the letter but she was hundred percent sure it was Pansy's handwriting.
She grabbed the second letter and gave the first one to Harry.
'Reason to what?' Harry asked but Paige didn't respond.
Pansy my dear,
I have spoken to Ashley Prince, which has made things really clear about the situation at Hogwarts. I would advise against hanging out or even speaking with Paige this year. Hopefully she will learn what's good for her.
Much love,
Your mother and father
Paige gave the letter to Harry.
'I can't believe she actually went this far.' Paige muttered.
Harry's face got more discussed with every sentence he read. When he was finished he gave it to Hermione and Ron.
'Bloody hell.' Ron said, looking at the letter closely. 'Your mom is crazy.'
'RON!' Hermione said, kicking him under the table.
'Right, sorry.' He said to Paige giving the letter back.
'No he's right.' She said, looking at the letter again.
'Harry,' Hermione said after a moment of silence. 'You have to go to Quidditch.' She said looking at the time.
'Yeah,' He said, turning to Paige. 'Are you going to be okay?'
'Of course, I will stay with Ron and Hermione and I am going to be A –OK.' She said smiling but Harry knew she was lying.
Harry kissed her quickly and walked away.
'So you are cheering for Gryffindor?' Ron asked, eating the last pieces of his breakfast.
'Yeah totally.' Paige answered, smiling vaguely.
At the Quidditch match Paige was looking up to see Harry but she didn't see him or Draco. The Quidditch games were painful, like always.
Slytherin was ten points for. Then Gryffindor scored, Paige cheered as hard as she could, not knowing Draco was looking at her.
Moments later the commentator yelled, 'Potter and Malfoy have seen the snitch!'
Paige, Ron and Hermione looked up seeing the boys fly hard towards the ground.
Paige bit her lip leaning forwards to see it better.
'POTTER CAUGHT THE SNITCH!'
The Gryffindor's and Paige started to cheer.
After a moment Hermione pointed her finger down towards Harry. 'What's going on?'
'What do you mean?' Paige asked, looking at what was happening.
She saw Harry, Fred, George and Draco saying stuff at each other.
'That's not good.' Paige mumbled and started to make her way down onto the field, Hermione and Ron followed her.
When she was close she saw Harry throw a punch at Draco thereafter Fred got his hands on him. George was stopped by Katie.
Paige grabbed Harry when he stepped towards Draco again.
'Harry!' Paige yelled, holding him back. 'Look at me.' He didn't. His eyes were frozen on Draco.
'HARRY JAMES POTTER, LOOK AT ME!' She screamed, this time Harry did look at her. 'He is not worth it!'
Harry calmed down, looking into Paige's blue eyes.
'What on earth is going on!' A pitch high voice yelled. 'Potter and Weasley leave mister Malfoy alone!' It was Umbridge.
'He started it!' George yelled. 'He was insulting our family!'
'That's no reason to get violent!' She said, sounding even higher. 'You three are given a lifetime ban from Quidditch!'
'WHAT?!' Harry, Fred and George said at once.
'But Profess-' Paige tried.
'NO! Now go to your dorms, and I will see Mister Potter tonight!' Umbridge said and walked away.
Paige turned her head towards Draco, who was lying on the ground holding his nose. 'Thanks, Draco. You've gotten it your way.' She said coldly.
Then she walked to the castle with Harry.
Thank you for reading!
