Chapter 32 - Cold Days and Picnic Blankets

Alice POV

Professor Smith never turned up for our lesson the next day either.

Me and Hermione continued to argue about her.

Ethan was the only one who could calm me down.

He is incredibly cute!

I can't let him know how I feel.

It could ruin our friendship. I could see by the way he was looking at me he felt the same but I ignored it.

Ginny on the other hand was extremely jealous.

She was interrogating me in my dorm.

"Sooo Alice. You went a walk last night. With Ethan!" She exclaimed.

"And? We're friends. What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Nothing," Hermione piped up, "But he is looking at you differently..."

"LIKE HE'S IN LOVE!" Ginny yelled.

They both started laughing at me.

"STOP! We're NOT in love ok? Just friends." I screamed.

"Well I don't see why you're being like that Alice. The cutest and hottest boy in the whole school loves you! For once can you just GROW UP!" Ginny raged at me.

"Just cause your jealous..."

"I AM NOT!" her cheeks were flaming red. "TELL HER HERMIONE!"

Hermione looked flustered.

"Look you two. I'm not getting involved. I don't know how you feel but it is very stupid to fight over a boy. Ginny your only just 12!"

"Just 12! Just 12!" Ginny was seething.

Hermione exited the room.

"I'll just go too. I don't want to be with you!" She spat at me.

I ignored her. I had other things on my mind.

Could the girls really tell that he liked me?

He had only been here for a day. He was probably just confused.

Ginny. What was wrong with her!

Could she like him too? I shivered at the thought of them holding hands.

It would just be... weird.

I got up and wandered in to the common room.

Ginny stared at me from the corner she was sitting in.

Ethan was sitting with Ron and Hermione.

I approached him, "Ethan, Do you want to go for a walk? There's still time before dark."

"Yeah sure." He jumped up. He sounded... exited.

You would thing I was offering him the moon.

We wandered to me favourite place. The lake.

I transfigured a leaf in to a picnic blanket. I had been practising hard at it.

I sat down with a thud. Ethan sat down beside me.

My skin tingled where his coat brushed mine. It was getting chilly.

We talked. We talked about rubbish.

I realised I knew nothing of his family. I was curious. Were they Death Eaters?

No! They couldn't be. Ethan would be in Slytherin then. Wouldn't he?

I had so many questions. I blurted it out.

"Eth, well you know about my family but... what about yours?"

"I knew you would ask me. I hadn't thought it would take you so long. My mother and father are... Death eaters. I hate them. I want them to die. It was fine until last year. I never knew. They told me when I started school. They explained to me about Voldemort and how he was... waiting for me to join him. I didn't like it. I told them that. They got angry and told me I was to stay at school all year. When the year was nearly over I asked for an end of year transfer and well that brought me here." One lone tear fell down his face.

"Oh Eth! I'm so sorry!" I launched myself at him for a hug.

I hated seeing people in pain.

I felt like I was meant to be in his arms. They surrounded me perfectly.

He hugged me back.

I put my arms round his neck and whispered, "I'm really sorry Eth. Don't worry. I won't tell and body."

I brock off the hug.

"Ali... you don't have to be sorry. I have read the books. You are going to defeat them Ali. Some people doubt you but I know you will." He cupped my hand in his.

"I'll try Eth. I have a long way to go."

"We'll help you Ali."

"I know. I will need help when the time comes."

"We are all here for you. It must feel strange that you have to defeat the darkest wizard ever."

"I never thought of it that was before. Yeah. It dose. OH NO!" I yelped.

"What?" Ethan asked.

"LOOK!" I held out my watch to him. The face said 9.00.

"We're going to have to run."

"I guessed that. How didn't we notice the sun going down!"

"We were deep in conversation Ali."

A smile rose to my face as I heard him call me that. I loved his pet name for me .

"Let's race Eth! We'll get back quicker then!"

"Good idea Alice! Let's go then. 3, 2, 1 go!" He yelled and started sprinting.

I ran off after him leaving the picnic blanket behind.
