Thanks for the commands and stuff.
It's late so I am going to sleep xD
Have fun!
It was cold, snow was falling calmly towards the ground.
The next DA would be the last before the holidays.
Paige was standing outside, when exhaling she could see her own breath. The sight was beautiful, everything was covered in a thin layer of white.
Next to her stood Harry. He was holding her hand, looking up to the sky. He looked sad but calm, he squeezed her hand softly.
'Paige.' Harry started slowly, tearing his eyes away from the sky.
'Yeah?' Paige replied, still looking at the snowfall.
'Don't ever leave me.' He slightly begged.
Paige turned her face towards him. 'Why would you think...'
'I don't know. I just want to hear you say it.' They looked each other in the eyes, Paige knew he was death serious.
'I will never leave you.' She said smiling.
'Thank you.' He said, squeezing her hand again.
'Harry!' Paige said fast. 'I…. I lo-. I love..' She stumbled, '...Love to fly with you again.' She finished, smiling a bit too big.
'Great, me too!' Harry said, smiling as well. 'I will teach you how to fly on your own.'
'I don't.. know if that's a good idea..' Paige stuttered a bit scared of the thought of flying alone.
Harry put his other hand over his mouth holding in his laugh. 'I'm sure you'll do fine.' He pulled her close into a hug. 'I wish you would trust yourself more.'
Paige buried her face in his chest. 'Well if your parents keep telling you that you fail at everything you kind of start to believe it.'
Harry was quiet for a moment, then she felt him kiss her on the top of her head. Hugging her more tightly. 'They don't know what they are talking about. I have been your teacher for a while now.. I can confidently tell you that you are better than you think.'
Paige couldn't help but smile. 'Thanks.' Keeping her face buried.
Harry looked at his watch, 'We have to go, the meeting is about to start.' He said. They started to walk to the castle, holding hands.
When they got to the room of Requirement, there were already people in the room waiting for the lesson to start.
'Today,' Harry started. 'We are going to practice Stupefy.'
'Yes, sir.' Paige said walking passed him, towards the group.
Paige was standing opposite of the practice doll. She looked into his fake eyes. 'You're going down.' She spoke.
'Really now.' Harry said standing behind her. Paige shook up, turning around.
'Great now I am out of the game.' She said, fakely irritated.
'I'm so sorry.' Harry said, taking her hand in his.
'Well I don't know if I can ever forgive you.' Paige responded looking away.
'Please forgive me.' He said, kissing her hand gently. Goosebumps on her arm, she giggled a bit.
'Guys, get a room.' Ron said, walking past them.
Paige turned to the doll again. 'I can't seem to get this spell right, Harry.' She told him.
'Then I will help, that is what I'm here for.' He said, placing himself behind Paige, now taking her wandhand in his.
He placed it up, pointing at the doll. 'Just swing it calmly and say the words.' Harry whispered in her ears, giving Paige shivers down her spine.
'Stupefy!' She said, the doll flew to the wall and fell to pieces.
'Very good.' Harry said, stepping away from Paige.
'I have a good teacher.' Paige explained, smiling.
Harry chuckled. 'Keep practicing.' He said walking away still looking at Paige, almost bumping into people.
With a smile on Paige's face she walked towards the doll to put it back in place.
'Okay, how about a duel!' Harry said, people cheered.
'Good idea, Harry.' Fred said, slamming his hand on his shoulder.
'Ron, Hermione, why don't you two start.' Harry said pointing at his friends.
'Fine.' Hermione said, determined looking at Ron.
'Okay...' Ron said a bit doubtful.
People made place for them.
'Ten Sickle on Ron.' Fred said to George.
'Deal.' George said back.
'Don't worry Hermione, I will go easy on you.' Ron said to her.
'Thanks Ronald.' Hermione answered smiling.
They stood opposite from each other.
Ron raised his wand but he was too slow. Hermione's was already raised.
'Expelliarmus!' Hermione said fast.
Ron flew, making some weird noise. Paige made a painful face, seeing him land pretty hard.
'Pay off.' George said, holding his hand up.
'Fine.' Fred said, giving ten Sickles.
Ron walked towards them.
'I did that on purpose.' Ron said, rubbing his button gently.
'Sure.' Paige said, nodding.
After a few more duels Harry called it quit.
'Thank you for coming and I will see you all after the holidays.' Harry said.
Harry watched everybody leave, when he turned around he saw Paige standing alone, looking into the mirror.
'We will see you upstairs.' Hermione said to Harry that she and Ron were the last ones to leave.
Harry walked towards Paige standing behind her.
'Paige.' He spoke gently.
'Harry, listen. I have thought about what you said about my sister….'
'You don't have to tell.' He said.
'I know but I want to.' Paige said, turning around. 'You must understand that I never told anyone this. The people who know about it were there.'
Harry looked at Paige seeing the sorrow in her eyes.
'Remember I told you the story about how I got my scar?'
'Yes, I do.' Harry said, stroking her cheek.
'Well…' Paige felt silence feeling her eyes tear up. 'When they were.. tortured me, my… My sister.' Tears started to run down her face already. 'My little sister jumped between me and my mother.' Paige's voice was shaking, she licked her lips finding the courage to keep on telling.
'My mother got so mad.. That my little sister was protecting me.' Paige said, grabbing onto Harry's shirt. 'So she began to torture my little sister.' Paige looked down, her body now shaking uncontrollably. 'She was just five.' She sobbed. 'She couldn't handle them like I could.'
'Paige..' Harry whispered.
'She was laying on the ground, her arms stretched towards me. The look in her eyes, screaming to me. And then the light in her eyes just went out. She just laid there, no life in her. And I couldn't do anything, I couldn't protect my little sister. I am the big sister and I couldn't protect her!' Paige cried, looking up into Harry's eyes. 'I couldn't protect-.' She started to cry harder.
Harry closed her into a tight hug, trying to calm her.
'It's all my fault.' Paige sobbed into Harry's shirt.
'No it's not, it's not your fault.'
Paige pushed him off.
'How can it not be! If I wasn't so stupid!' Cried Paige, turning around. 'If only I'd been a good girl, this would have never had happened!'
'Paige.'
'No Harry.' Paige turned around again. 'I should have been the one who died. Not her, not something that innocent. I was the rebel, she was so good all of the time!'
Paige stopped crying, she felt numb.
'Paige, it's your mother's fault. She is the one that killed her.' He said, wiping the tears off her cheeks. 'You were so young, you can't blame yourself.'
Paige waited a second before saying, 'You will just always believe in me, won't you?' A weak smile appeared on her face.
'Yeah I will.' Harry said.
Paige leaned forwards, pressing her lips onto his. A few more tears fell from her eyes. Harry was holding her tight, it felt like they melted into each other. Paige was holding him by his shirt squeezing it hard. She felt his tongue pressing against her lips. She opened her mouth letting him in. He tasted like strawberries; sweet, delicious strawberries.
Paige was taken away by his kiss, feeling out of breath. Her grip on his shirt softened. Letting him take over.
Paige was laying in her bed, she was dreaming about Harry.
She saw him before her; smiling, Laughing.
Then he disappeared like smoke in the air. The dream changed to a dark hallway. The light was green, the atmosphere was thick.
Paige looked to her right, and weird enough she saw Mr. Weasley. He was walking slowly.
Then she looked to her left and saw a big, long snake.
Paige saw the snake going towards Mister Weasley. She tried to scream but her voice was gone. She couldn't move, she couldn't warn him.
The snake moved closer to Mr. Weasley and attacked.
Paige woke up, sweating.
Her heart was pounding heavily. She had this feeling that Harry was in panic.
Paige jumped out of her bed and ran down the stairs, she ran through the hallways on her bare feet. She ran towards Gryffindor's common room when she (to her surprise) saw Professor McGonagall, Harry and Ron.
'Miss Prince, what are you doing out of bed?!' McGonagall asked, seeing the young student catching her breath.
'I felt like there was something wrong with Harry.' Paige wheezed looking at him.
He looked terrible. He was sweating heavily and he was white as the snow.
Paige moved towards him, placing her hand on his face. He felt warm.
'Harry?' She asked gently, stroking his cheek.
'Paige.' He said husk. 'I had a dream, Mr. Weasley is in danger.'
'I had a dream about that too.' Paige said. Harry looked at her in unbelief.
'We have to go to Professor Dumbledore.' McGonagall said and started walking again.
The students followed. Paige looked at Ron, he was also pale. Not to her surprise of course.
Harry was holding her tight, looking at the ground.
'What is happening to me?' She could hear him mumble.
