I'm really sorry, SORRY.
Here you go...
Thanks to everyone for reading my fanfiction.
Paige was sitting in the common room, she was doing some homework. It has already been three weeks since Harry and her spoke before she went to Umbridge. She felt lonely but it didn't cover the feeling of guilt that was hanging over her.
She beat herself up every day about how much of a coward she was, but the thought of going home for the summer and getting herself, not to mention getting her friends expelled would be so much worse.
Paige really did miss Harry, he always made her smile. But it wouldn't stop her from doing her homework… Or well maybe it would. She sighed, closing her defense against the dark art book. People started to call her a coward and giving her dirty looks. Saying they always knew she belonged in Slytherin and that she only tricked Harry.. Paige didn't stop them.. They were quite right.. except the tricking part…
She looked at her watch, it was three o'clock in the morning.. Paige didn't feel like sleeping, she just wanted to do something useful. Get her mind clear.
She jumped off the couch and walked out of the common room. It was dark and quiet. The hallways were empty. Paige wasn't afraid of being outside; she was a Prefect; she could just say she had to be in the hallways. Even though it would be hard to believe that at this hour. She kept on walking when she suddenly heard noises coming from a classroom.
'Harry we shouldn't be out this late.' She heard Hermione say.
'I just had to walk…' Said Harry he sounded tired.
'Dude what's on your mind?' Ron asked, he sounded calmer than Hermione. Paige came closer towards the door listening quietly.
'Well Cho,' Harry mumbled, sounding a bit embarrassed.
'Cho Chang?' Hermione and Ron were shocked.
'She asked me to go to hogsmeade with her on Valentines Day…'
'You should go.' Ron said immediately without thinking.
'No he shouldn't!' Hermione said irritatedly.
'Why shouldn't he go? I mean he has to forget about Paige, how better then to date another girl. And she aint bad looking.'
'Ron! It's not that easy to forget about someone!' Hermione hissed back.
'Ron is right, I should go.' Harry said, Paige felt her heart stop for a second. 'And Cho Chang is a very nice girl…'
'Harry!' Hermione said more irritatedly.
'What?' Harry sneered. 'What should I do, letting them see how weak I am. Hoping for her to come back, we all know she is so afraid of her parents that she would never again disobey them!'
Paige took a step making some noise. She held her breath. 'Harry quick get under the invisibility-cloak.' She heard Ron say.
Paige walked away fast to the corner. She heard the door open. But when she turned around Hermione and Ron were in front of her.
'Paige!' Hermione said, shocked. 'What are you doing here?'
'Prefect duty.' Paige said fast.. 'So are you, right?'
Ron and Hermione nodded their heads. 'Good.' Paige said, walking past them. She felt something slip by her side... she knew it was Harry standing there. 'I am so sorry.' She muttered. As she passed him walking back to her common room.
Paige felt sleepy as she walked to the great hall to get something to eat. She didn't feel like talking to anyone. But still a lot of Slytherins talked to her, gossiping about other students. Even though Paige wasn't really listening she smiled and laughed just to fit in.
'Did you hear?' A girl with black hair said looking at Paige, 'I heard Blaise wants to invite you to go on a date on Valentine's day!' She said excitedly. Paige now opening her ears finally just letting out a weird. 'Huh?'
'Yes, he was talking about it yesterday in the common room with Draco.. He said now that you are not with Potter anymore, that you would have some better taste.'
Paige felt a bit angry, Harry was very good taste! Blaise was the one without taste! She thought to herself. She looked over at the Gryffindor's table, Harry was eating some cereal. Paige smiled, she was totally right, Harry was very handsome. He had strong cheekbones and his body became more and more muscled. But he was still slime not too muscular. He was tall, but not as tall as Ron.
'Paige!?'
Paige turned her head back, 'Are you going to say yes?' The Slytherin girl asked.
'Sure.' Paige said thinking about Harry going with Cho. 'But who are you?' She asked without thinking. The girl looked extremely hurt, then Draco came and sat next to Paige.
'Good morning,' He said, getting himself soothing to drink. 'Do you want something to drink?
'Tea would be nice.' Paige mumbled looking at Harry. 'His ass is great too.'
'What?'
'Nothing.' Paige said, shocking up, 'Tea please!'
'Right.' Draco mumbled, grabbing a cup with tea already in it and gave it to Paige.
'But did you hear that Blaise wants to ask out Paige?' Paige asked, taking a sip from her tea.
'Y-you are Paige…' Draco said, confused.
'Well I know that but for once I want to gossip about someone…' Paige mumbled. 'And I can't help that all they talk about is me.' She looked proud in some way.
'But yes, so I have heard...' Draco said looking at Paige's confused face. 'Blaise and Paige.'
'Right!' Paige said, taking another sip from her tea.
'So what are you going to do?' He asked, looking interested to know.
'I'm going to say yes…' She said, doubting herself a bit.
'Really?' Draco sounded extremely surprised.
'Really.' Paige answered looking at Harry, Cho was talking to him. They were laughing and smiling. Jealousy exploded inside of her.
'There he is.' Draco said. Paige looked at the door, Blaise walked in. He was looking around. Paige looked at him and a jealous impulse came upon her.
She stood up and walked towards Blaise, out of the corner of her eyes she was still looking at Harry and Cho.
'Paige, you are just the one I was looking for.' Blaise said when he saw her.
'Right back gotya.' Paige said. 'Blaise,' She began to talk real loud so that everyone could hear. 'Would you like to go to hogsmeade on Valentine's Day with me?'
Silence fell in the great hall. She didn't look at the people who were apparently extremely surprised and she heard a glass break and a soft voice saying, 'Harry.'
Blaise looked shocked for a moment but smirked softly. 'Sure.' He said.
'Great.' Paige turned to the door and walked away leaving the silent great hall behind her.
She instantly regraded what she did, she just felt so angry and jealous. Then the angry turned on herself, she ruined everything. And the worst of all, now she had to go on a date with Blaise on freaking Valentines day.
Paige was looking in the mirror, she was wearing special clothing for valentine. It was originally for Harry, planning to wear it for their first valentine together.
She looked outside, the rain was pouring.
'Well that has to be a bad sign.' She mumbled putting her hair in a ponytail.
Paige walked down stairs where Draco, Pansy and Blaise were waiting.
As they went to Hogsmeade, a very awkward silence fell upon them. Nobody really spoke.
'Shall we go to Madam Puddifoot's tea shop?' Blaise suggested.
'Yeah, okay.' Said Paige, not really caring where they were going.
'Hey look,' Pansy said pointing at two people. 'There is Harry with… Cho Chang.'
Paige looked up; she felt her heart beat faster. Harry's and Paige's eyes met.
'Wow Cho Chang, I thought you had better taste.' Pansy sneered.
Draco and Blaise laughed loudly. Paige kept quiet. She wanted to be with him so badly.
'Lets go, Harry.' Cho said, pulling him away from them.
'Paige come on.' Blaise said, grabbing her hand and leading her to madam puddifoot's tea shop.
When they arrived they stopped for a moment. Paige could see a lot of couples inside already.
'Paige,' Draco said slowly. 'Pansy and I are going somewhere else.'
'What why?' Paige asked not really wanting Draco nor Pansy to leave her alone with Blaise.
'Because, Pansy doesn't want to go to the tea shop.' He said sadly, knowing what his best friend was thinking. 'Sorry.'
'Okay, then we will meet you guys later.' Said Blaise. He opened the door and let Paige go first.
It was worse than she thought. Not only were there a lot of couples, they were all making out.
Feeling extremely awkward she sat down on a table of two. Blaise ordered some drinks and sat down opposite of her.
'There you go.' He said giving her a cup of tea, he tried to smile kindly but kind of failed.
'Thank you…' said Paige, taking a sip.
The door opened, Paige looked and felt her heart sink. Harry and Cho walked in. They sat down a few tables away from them.
'So Paige.' Blaise started.
Paige looked at him with a questioning look. 'Yeah?'
'Well…'
Suddenly they heard someone let out a small scream. It was Cho, she stood up and let her chair fall over.
'Harry this was a new dress.' She said angrily.
'I'm really sorry!' Harry said standing up as well. It appeared Harry had spilled some drink over Cho's dress.
'Damn it.' Cho hissed trying to rub the stain off. 'You're such an idiot.'
Without thinking Paige said, 'Jeez Cho it's just a dress.'
Everyone stopped kissing each other and looking at what was going on.
'Well for you maybe, Prince.' She said and walked away. Out of the shop into the rain.
It was quiet for a moment then Harry went after her.
Paige felt sad seeing Harry walking away.
She turned towards Blaise when everyone started to go back to their business.
'Look Blaise,' she started, standing up. 'I'm not into you, I will never be into you, okay. I feel flattered that you keep on trying but really, dude. We are not meant to be. We have nothing in common, so please stop. Just… let's be friends.' When Paige finished she walked out of the shop also into the rain.
She started to run trying to find Harry. She needed to talk to him. She needed to be with him. She had to explain why she did what she did.
Paige felt herself getting soaking wet. 'Harry!' She yelled.
No response. Paige kept on running.
Then she saw someone, standing in the rain. 'Harry?'
The figure turned around.
Paige ran a bit harder. It was Harry, he was –just like her- soaking wet.
'What?!' He said irritated.
'I wanted to talk to you.' Paige said standing still in front of him.
'Now you want to talk, after you have been ignoring me all this time.' He said having a face of anger before getting sad. 'I wished for days you would talk to me, but no. You.. You…'
'I am so sorry.' Paige said, feeling tears filling her eyes. 'I just…'
She got interrupted when Harry pulled her closer and started kissing her deeply.
Paige was shocked for a second, but was taking in almost immediately. She put her arms around his neck, as she felt his arms around her waist.
The rain was pouring on them, but they didn't mind one bit. They were together and nothing else mattered.
Paige suddenly broke it off.
'I can't.. Not here.' She mumbled, catching her breath.
Harry grabbed her hand and led her to an alley where they would be out of sight. He pushed her against the wall and started kissing her again. His tongue touched her lips, she opened them. She could feel the rain water mix in their mouths. She didn't care, she could only care about Harry. His hands were all over her body.. Touching her, squeezing her. She did the same, not ever wanting to let him go.. She felt such a relieved that he was kissing her. He still wanted her.
He stopped, looking at her lips licking his own. Rain still pouring down on them.
'It was Umbridge.' Paige said fast, out of breath. 'She made me. She would have expelled you and Ron, Hermione. I couldn't let her.'
Harry looked despairing.
'I understand, I really do. But I want to see you, talk to you, be with you.' Harry said, making Paige a bit red. He moved himself closer to her again, lips inches away from each other.
'I know, me too. But…'
'We will find a way.' Harry said, kissing her gently.
With the words he spoke to her, she felt herself become calm.
'We will find a way.' Paige repeated.
They looked at each other. Moment of silence and peace, they were together.
Bye, until next time.
