Thanks for all the comments and favorites!
Love you!
Paige, Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Ginny were sitting in the office of Dumbledore.
Harry was holding Paige's hand. He was trying to get his breathing under control. Every time he closed his eyes he could see himself as the snake again and attacking Mr. Weasley.
Dumbledore walked into the room again and he just asked some people to go and check on mr. Weasley. He looked at Paige who was looking down. 'Miss Prince.'
Paige looked up, not sure what to expect. 'What is it, sir.'
'How did you know that Harry was in panic?' The headmaster asked calmly, ignoring Harry who looked up as well.
'For one, I had the same dream and two, when I woke up I had this weird feeling of panic but knowing (somewhere inside) it wasn't me... Does that make any sense?'
'Did something happen to you when you were little?' Dumbledore asked suddenly.
'I don't really know.' Paige said finding it a very odd question to ask at this time.
She stood up looking outside the window.
'I think I do remember something… A scream.' Paige mumbled mostly to herself.
'Could it be that someone died?' Dumbledore asked, still looking firmly at Paige.
'I don't know, maybe.' She said, turning towards Dumbledore.
'Hard question.' He said sitting in his chair. 'Do you maybe know the date or the season this scream happened?'
'Well, when I think about the scream and stuff I feel cold. But not a winter cold, more an autumn cold. So maybe early November.'
'Or late October.' Dumbledore started.
'October 31st.' Harry mumbled, Paige knew what happened to Harry that day.
'It could be, why is this important?' Paige asked. She didn't understand why they were talking about this. It didn't matter. Mr. Weasley mattered.
'Because, how you are able to feel Harry's feelings, I think that you and Harry have a connection somehow.' Dumbledore said calmly, still not looking at Harry.
'A connection?' Paige said in unbelief.
'So did anyone die that you cared about,' Harry and Paige exchanged looks. 'Around that time?' Dumbledore asked, still sitting in his chair.
'No.' Paige said. 'At least not that I remember. My parents are both still here... I... don't know.'
'Dumbledore.' McGonagall said. 'It's true, Arthur was attacked.'
It was quiet in the room, Paige looked at Ron's pale face.
McGonagall continued. 'They found him just in time, he has been taken to the hospital.'
'Professor,' Harry tried, but Dumbledore wasn't listening.
'The Weasleys should go to Sirius Black, we will inform Mrs. Weasley.' Dumbledore said.
'Sir,' Harry tried again.
He didn't even look at him as he passed in his room.
'Sir.' Harry tried once again, still Dumbledore didn't pay him any attention.
'LOOK AT ME!' Harry screamed, everybody froze. Paige looked at Harry worried. Dumbledore looked at him. 'What's happening to me?' Harry asked weakly.
'Harry should go to Sirius as well.' Dumbledore said, still looking at Harry. 'Paige you should stay here.'
'Why?!' Paige demanded not wanting to leave Harry's side.
'Because Umbridge won't be happy when she hears Harry and the Weasley's have left before winter break. But I can excuse that, for you I can't. You can go to Sirius as soon as as winter break starts.' Dumbledore explained.
'I understand.' Paige said eyes locked on Harry.
'Good.' Dumbledore said, taking something from McGonagall. 'Come on.' He said looking at the Weasleys and Harry. 'Grab on.'
'I don't want you to stay,' Harry mumbled. 'I need you.'
Harry looked at Paige, she smiled weakly. 'I will see you soon.' She said, stroking his cheek shortly before Harry grabbed the portkey and they were gone.
'Paige you should go back to your dorm.' Dumbledore said.
Paige nodded and started to walk back to the common room. She said down on the chair by the fireplace. Her head was hurting.
She kept on thinking, Dumbledore had to be right. A connection with Harry? How else could you explain it?
'Something happened when I was young. How do people expect me to remember that?' Paige said to herself.
She sighed standing up slowly and walking to her bed. but knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. Paige was going to keep on thinking about it. What happened, who was it. and why did it happen? She wanted to know what happened on the 31st of October.
The next morning Paige sat down next to Hermione at the Gryffindor table.
'Where are Ron and Harry?' Hermione asked, 'I couldn't find them anywhere.'
'They are with Sirius,' Paige began, she was tired. She has been thinking about their connection the whole night.
'Why?!' Hermione asked, confused.
Paige cleared her throat. 'Mr. Weasley got attacked last night, Harry had a dream about it.'
'What!' Hermione said a bit too loud.
'Calm down, they found him. He's at the hospital, I bet he will be just fine.'
Hermione's mouth was open trying to say something.
'How was Ron?' she asked.
'Aww, Hermione cares about Ron.' Paige said smiling.
Hermione became red. 'Just tell me.'
'Well not that good, but it will be okay. I do think he will need you to comfort him when we go to Sirius.'
'Shut it.' Hermione muttered. 'Which class do you have first?'
'I have potions with the Slytherins.' Paige stated.
'You always have class with the Slytherins.' Hermione smirked.
'O right, I totally forgot. I have sat on this table almost every meal now.' Paige laughed.
'But I have potions as well.' Hermione said standing up. 'You wanna be my partner?'
'Sure.' Paige responded standing up also.
Together they walked to Snape's classroom.
'Where is scar-head?' Draco smirked, 'I heard he got a panic attack last night.'
'How does he know that?' Paige asked Hermione. She shrugged as they entered the room. They sat down next to each other ready for whatever may come.
Hermione and Paige were working on a potion, when Hermione notices that Paige wasn't paying attention at all and almost put the wrong ingredient in the cauldron, 'Paige!' Hermione gulped, grabbing her hand so she wouldn't let go.
'What?' Paige said, snapping out of thought, she realized what she was doing and pulled her hand back. 'Sorry..' She muttered.
'It's okay. I understand it.' Hermione said calmly.
'You understand what?' Paige asked, confused.
'You worried about Harry ofcourse.' Hermione said cutting some carrots. 'Because you love him.'
'Love him?!' Paige said, shocked. Hermione didn't say anything so finally she stated, 'Yeah I love him..'
'Yeah and he knows that, right?' Hermione asked, putting the carrots in the cauldron.
'Sure he knows it.' Paige stuttered. 'He knows.' her voice got a pitch higher.
'Yeah 'cause you told him that, right?' Hermione said, looking at Paige curiously.
Paige didn't speak for a moment.
'Yeah…no.' She said, shaking her head.
'Why haven't you told him yet!' Hermione hissed.
'Well.. I, you know. I tried! and w-why should I be the one who says it first.' Paige stammered.
The bell rang. Paige quickly grabbed her books and started walking. Hermione followed her.
'Well I know Harry loves you.' Hermione said pacing after Paige who suddenly stood still.
'How do you know?' She asked, looking at the girl with waving brown hair.
'He told me.' She said,
'Why didn't he tell me?' Paige asked who started to walk again.
'He is afraid..' Hermione started.
Paige stopped again. 'Afraid of what?'
'That you aren't.. ready to hear it..' She answered, taking a step back.
Scratching her head Paige looked around like she was looking for something to say.
'Look Paige, he is trying to not… scare you.'
'What?!' Paige felt terrible, Harry could never scare her. She got worried about him.. but never scared. Paige looked down. Harry shouldn't think that.
'Alright, those weren't the right words.' Hermione said, trying to make things better.
'I'm not scared of loving him.' Paige snapped.
'But you do find it hard to admit you love him.' Hermione snapped back.
Paige looked kind of in shock.
It took a while before she spoke again.
'I feel like, if I say it out loud it makes it real. I mean that it makes it real how bad I behaved in the view of my parents.' Paige let out in a breath. Hermione looked worried with her mouth slightly open.
'I did try…' Paige said again, looking at the ground. 'But I just ended up saying something about, that I loved flying with him… Now he wants to teach me how to fly!'
'Paige..' Hermione whispered
'But I will tell him.' Paige said, determined. 'As soon as possible.'
'Harry didn't tell you because he didn't want to rush you about it. That you will be able to tell him without stress.' Hermione looked embarrassed. 'I guess Harry could see that, but Ron and I couldn't see how much you struggle with it. I'm sorry.'
Paige looked at Hermione with a soft smile. 'You don't have to apologize,' She said. 'I'm glad I can tell someone how I feel.'
Hermione smiled, she hugged Paige.
'I am glad I have a female friend.' She said letting go of Paige. 'I always had Ron and Harry, I can't really talk about girl stuff with them.'
Paige laughed. 'True.'
Hermione and Paige sat together at Gryffindor's table.
'So about the girl talk.' Paige started taking a bite from her sandwich.
Hermione looked up.
'Let's talk about Ron.' Paige continued.
'No, no.' Hermione sneered.
Paige looked at her smirking. 'No!' Hermione hissed.
'Okay.' Paige said calmly.
It was quiet for some time. 'But you are worried about him right?' Paige asked.
Hermione looked irritated. 'Yeah, he is a friend.' She spoke.
'Right, yeah of course.' Paige said, waving it off. 'You know he was kind of jealous of Victor Krum last year-.'
'Yes that he didn't get attention from him.'
'Of who?'
'Victor Krum.' She hissed.
'Right, keep telling yourself that.' Paige mumbled. She saw Hermione blush a bit.
Paige smiles looking at her plate.
Professor McGonagall suddenly stood by them. 'Granger, Prince. I had to tell you that Mr. Weasley is stable at this moment.'
Paige and Hermione sighed in relief. 'Thank Merlin's beard.' Paige said as McGonagall walked away.
'I'm so glad.' Hermione said, letting out a long breath.
As the classes ended for the day, Paige got back to the common room. Walking straight to her dorm she began to pack her stuff.
Tomorrow Hermione and Paige would go to Sirius to celebrate Christmas there.
Paige really liked Sirius, he was friendly to her and kind of knew what she was going through with being pure blood with a family who didn't support their decision.
She smiled as she laid down her clothes for tomorrow. She would see Harry tomorrow.
Paige was really worried about him, he looked so sad and scared the last time she saw him.
Putting the last things in her trunk she closed it and changed into her pajamas. She looked into the mirror when she brushed her light brown hair when she noticed her roots were showing black. Paige almost forgot she had black hair instead of brown.
Her mother had black hair so Paige dyed it to look less like her. Paige's mother wasn't happy about that but it was hard to get it out.
Paige grabbed her wand, pointed at her hair roots and mumbled a spell. Her roots turned the same brown color it was with the rest.
She smiled, putting her wand down and laid in bed. She thought about how she was going to tell him. Out of the blue, on a date or before they went to bed? She felt her head get red. He loved her. He told Hermione so. Paige rolled around on her bed a bit hiding her face with her hands. She felt butterflies in her stomach.
Closing her eyes. Excited about the next day. Excited to see Harry.
