Thank you so much for the reviews, see it made me write more :D
Everyone was quiet as they walked into the train and looked for a compartment. Paige was walking a bit behind, she was thinking hard about what Moody had said. It was a very awkward moment when they got back from Mr. Weasley and no one had said a word, thank goodness they didn't notice.
Lupin, Tonks and Moody were already in another compartment. When the line of Weasleys and everybody else took a turn to the left, walking into a compartment. When Paige walked in at last she stood still for a second. The Weasleys and Hermione did not dare to sit next to Harry. The only one sitting next to him was Mrs. Weasley.
Paige gave the other a nasty look and sat next to Harry. Paige wasn't afraid of what they said, she was worried. She felt tired, laying her head on Harry's shoulder. He just sat there, with a blank expression on his face.
When they got back to Sirius, Harry went directly to bed without saying a word. The mood felt fearful.
'What's with Harry?' Mrs. Weasley asked Paige.
'He is not feeling so well.' Paige said with sadness in her voice.
'Why don't you go check on him, dear.' She said, Paige nodded and walked up stairs.
'Harry?' Paige spoke as she opened his door.
'Go away.' Muttered Harry.
Paige went into his room, 'I don't feel like going away.' She said closing the door.
'Just go!' Harry said a bit louder, he was laying on his bed with his head under the covers.
'No!' Paige said also a bit louder.
'Paige!' He said irritated.
'Harry!' She snapped back. Harry got from beneath his covers, he looked pale and tired.
'Why won't you just go away!' He sneered.
'Well I don't know, maybe because I care about you!' She snapped at him.
'Yes and I care about you. So you must understand that I want you to leave, it's not safe being around me.' Harry said weakly, looking down.
Paige closed her eyes, for once she just wished that he would do something selfish. 'I am sorry, but I will not leave you alone.'
'Pai-.'
'No, Harry. You're maybe not selfish but I am!' She simply spoke. 'And I really want to be with you.' She stopped like she made her final point.
Harry looked at her, giving her a weak smile. 'You won't change your mind, will you?'
'I won't change my mind indeed.' Paige smirked, placing herself next to Harry.
'What if I am possessed?' Harry asked avoiding eye contact with Paige.
She looked at him in a sad kind of way. 'Then we will stay with you and help you.' She spoke, Paige didn't want to deny that there was a possibility that he could be possessed.
Harry didn't say anything, he just stared at his fingers.
'You should eat something, Harry.' Paige said wanting to touch him but he moved away, she pulled her hand back slowly.
'I'm not hungry.' He mumbled, still not looking at Paige.
It became very quiet, Paige was lost for words.
'I really do,' She spoke finally. 'You know..' Paige felt mad at herself, why couldn't she just say it. Why was it so hard to say…
'What?' Harry asked, turning his head a bit towards Paige.
She felt blood rushing to her head. 'You know.'
'I really don't know what you are talking about.' Harry mumbled.
'The L word.' Paige muttered, feeling like she could sink into the ground.
Harry finally looked into her blue eyes but he didn't say anything. Paige really wanted to be in the ground now. 'You know what, forget it.' Paige said standing up. 'It was stupid.' She added when she walked to the door but Harry stopped her. She turned around facing him.
'We really have mood swings, don't we?" Harry smirked kindly. 'One minute we have so much fun, then it gets awkward or we have a fight, which is mostly my fault.' Harry said.
'Well I help with the awkward part.' She mumbled. 'I am sorry that I can't say it yet.'
Harry smiled. 'I know that you feel it, that's enough.'
'You're awesome, you know that?' Paige said, smiling like an idiot.
Harry got into a better mood, he even came down to eat with the rest. Harry got more cheerful when Ginny asked him some question about being possessed, being the one who actually was possessed by him. Harry got a good idea that it was rubbish, him being possessed by you-know-who. He even laughed about it a bit.
Paige woke up. While standing up she heard loud noises outside her room. She changed into her clothes and opened the door. She saw Fred and George running downstairs. Screaming something about presents. Ron also opened his door opposite of Paige.
'Merry Christmas.' He yawned, still half asleep.
'You too.' Paige said, tired.
'PEOPLE, COME DOWN SO WE CAN OPEN THE GIFTS!' They heard Fred and George scream.
'I think they want us to come down.' Paige said, nodding.
'Yeah.' Ron said, closing his door again.
Paige walked down stairs to the living room. Fred and George were sitting like dogs waiting for a treat. They looked up when Paige walked in.
'You got us a gift, right?' They said together.
'Yes.' Paige said, placing herself on the couch. Fred and George stood up and began sitting next to Paige.
'Are you excited about this Christmas?' George asked.
'I am!' Paige cheered.
'We see.' Fred said, wiping his arm around Paige. The rest came into the living room. Fred didn't know how fast he let go of Paige when he saw Harry's face. 'Your boyfriend is dangerous.' He whispered in her ears.
'I know.' Paige whispered back. 'So I would be careful, if I were you.'
Fred shuffled away a bit when Harry came towards them and sat down next to Paige.
Ron was sitting by the tree, and when everybody had a place he started throwing presents to people. Paige caught a big one saying "For Paige."
She smiled widely, ripping the paper of the gift. It was a box full of Boeing crystals.
'That's from us!' Fred and George cheered, opening their own present.
'Thanks guys.' Paige smiled. Another present, it was small and pretty. She opened it. Her mouth went open. Harry looked at her with a big grin on his face. It was a necklace, a beautiful necklace. It was dark red and when you moved it you saw a lion. She glanced over to Harry who looked away fast, opening one of his presents.
'It's beautiful.' Paige whispered, holding the necklace.
'I'm glad you liked it.' Harry whispered back.
It was an amazing day, with lots of joy and food. For the rest of the vacation it was the same, just as great. They visited Mr. Weasley a few times and Sirius was happier as never before.
Paige got a sad feeling when they soon had to go back to school again.
Harry, Paige, Hermione and Ron were sitting in a compartment going to Hogwarts.
'I'm not looking forward to Umbridge.' Ron grunted.
'Who would be?' Hermione asked.
'Nobody.' Paige laughed. 'But I do look forward to the DA.' She added looking at Harry.
'Yes, I was planning to teach you all the expecto patronum.' Harry told them.
'Great!' Hermione and Ron said. Paige was quiet just showing a smile.
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to summon a patronus. Did she have a happy enough memory in her life to do so? The moments with Harry were really happy but was it happy enough? It really bothered Paige, Harry saw it.. and slightly felt it.
Their door opened. A boy with blond hair and a pale face was standing in the doorway. 'Well look who we have here.' Draco said. 'Weasel, Mudblood and scarhead. You all had a poor Christmas I hope.' He said grinning.
'What do you want, Malfoy?' Hermione snapped.
'If you really want to know, I'm not here to make life more pathetic. I need to speak with Paige.' He said looking at her.
Paige stood up but Harry grabbed her hand. 'It's fine.' Paige said. 'I will be right back.' Harry let go of her hand, she walked with Draco out of the compartment. 'What's up, bro.' she said like nothing was wrong.
'Really?' Draco hissed.
Paige now really looked at him, he looked paler than normal and he had huge bags under his eyes.
'Are you okay?' She asked, now worried about his health.
'I'm fine.' He answered quickly. He grabbed something out of his pocket. He handed her a small box.
'What's this?' Paige asked, holding up her hand taking the box from him.
'Your Christmas gift.' He mumbled looking at his hands.
Paige opened the box. 'A necklace.' Paige muttered holding it in her hand. It was a snake with green little diamonds on it. 'Wow, it's really beautiful, Draco.'
'I'm glad you liked it.' He said smiling. Paige looked up, that's what Harry said when he gave her a necklace too. That she was wearing right at this every moment. 'You two are maybe more alike than you think.' She whispered to herself.
'What?' He asked, confused.
'Nothing, nothing.' Paige said, waving it away with her hand. 'Really Draco, thank you.'
'Well you're welcome.' Draco said.
'See you can be nice.' She laughed, pushing Draco gently on his shoulder.
'Shut it.' Draco hissed. 'I still don't like it.. they're filthy people.'
Paige didn't say anything, she was just holding the necklace from Draco.
'I will go.' Draco said. 'I don't want to be seen around people like that.' He walked away not looking back.
Paige felt hurt but let it go over her, she took a deep breath and opened the compartment door again, walking in and sat next to Harry.
'What did he want?' Ron asked, anxious to know.
'Nothing much.' Paige said, holding the necklace tight in her hand. 'Just complaining about you guys.'
She didn't feel like showing them the necklace. They would probably say something like, it's was cursed or something.
It wasn't long when the train stopped because they arrived at Hogwarts. When they got into the carriages, Harry thought about something. He turned his head at Paige, bringing his mouth to her ears. 'So you can see them, right?' He whispered.
Paige knew precisely what he meant. The horses that were pulling the carriages.
'Why did you lie?' he asked quietly.
Paige turned her face towards Harry's. 'Because then you would ask how I saw dying.' Paige whispered.
Harry didn't say anything. Then smiled a little and looked away. Understanding that Paige wouldn't have wanted to tell about her sister.
When the carriages stopped everybody stepped out, and went into the castle. The last Christmas decorations were being removed.
Paige and Harry were walking in the castle together, holding hands like a normal couple. People were glancing at them. Even some Gryffindors that weren't in Dumbledore's army.
'Some still don't believe me.' Harry sighed seeing their looks.
'Don't worry Harry,' said Paige. 'More people are starting to.'
'That's true and DA is great.' He said. 'I just hope Umbridge won't screw more up for me.'
'Come on, Harry. Everything will be okay.' She said, a little boy stood before Harry and Paige all the sudden.
'Miss Prince, Umbridge wants to speak with you.' He said and walked away.
'Or maybe not.' Paige said worried. She let go of Harry's hand and walked towards the office of Umbridge. Not knowing how much trouble she really was.
