regret, harry potter (rewriting)

four

Aurelia was sitting alone at the library revising her school notes while Alex was with Megan on a kitchen date. Suddenly the trio came into the library. She could again feel the stares coming from them. This brought her another memory.

Aurelia was sitting alone at the library doing her Transfiguration essay while the trio sat not that far away from her. She could feel Hermione and Ron kept staring at her every now and then while Harry pretended she wasn't there. It has been a week since Aurelia sat next to Harry at transfiguration; last time they semi talked. Is this it? Did they really not think of her as a friend anymore? She thought.

As she was about to pack and leave, a girl sat in front of her. "Hi, I'm Davina, I'm not sure if you know me but I'm a Hufflepuff. I heard about what you did in first year, it was really cool," as she pulled out her hand.

"Um hi. . . I'm Aurelia," Aurelia answered.

"I'm sorry if this came out weird, but I've seen you are distant with your friends right there," Davina looked at the trio then she looked at her again.

"Er- yeah," Aurelia replied, not knowing what to answer.

"Well, I hope you don't mind but my friend is coming to the library in a minute, well if you want we could sit with you. . . Only if you want to, it's okay if you want to sit alone."

"No, No, I want to," Aurelia answered hastily. Perhaps it's a good idea to branch out on her own and make new friends.

"Oh and I think I'll call you Rellie now, Aurelia is a mouthful," Davina suggested.

And that is how Aurelia became friends with Davina Huntington and Luca Montgomery

"Hi, do you mind if we sit here?" said Hermione, which snapped Aurelia out of her thoughts.

Aurelia was contemplating, she had two answers, "no, there's an empty seat there, leave me alone," or "yeah sure."

She ended up saying, "er- yeah, sure."

What worst that could happen right she thought. What happened to them seems like ages ago, maybe it's time to forgive them or at least be civil.

"Okay," Hermione sighed in relief.

Harry sat next to Aurelia while Hermione sat in front of them next to Ron. This feels like old time she thought, hearing Hermione and Ron bickering while Harry and Aurelia sat in front of them, except this time, Hermione and Ron are now together.

"Do you understand this?" Harry asked Aurelia all of the sudden. Truthfully, Harry understands the material, he just couldn't stand sitting next to Aurelia and not talking to her.

"Yeah," Aurelia replied.

"Can you explain it to me? I'm a bit lost."

Hermione and Ron are now staring at them, more specifically Harry. The trio talked about this exact topic last night. They know what Harry's doing. He's trying to make Aurelia teach him and him understanding everything she said right away which hopefully will impress her, because in reality he already understands that topic.

Throughout her explanation, Harry mostly stared at her rather than her notes. Coming back here and sitting in her compartment on his way here made him realize how much he misses her. Flashes of memory of things they used to do always popped up in his head now.

She obviously looks more mature now though she still looks quite the same. Ron and Hermione are once again correct, Aurelia's beautiful. How could he not see it before? Surely she's never ugly but she's in fact pretty, very pretty.
