The Chosen Two (Harry Potter X Reader) Years 1-7

Chapter 7

Your P.O.V.

"Ron. Stop. You're making its now." Hermione say's looking above him.

"Huh?" Ron looks up, sees that it is snowing exclusively over the four of us.

Hermione places her hand atop his wand and he blinks, as if the gesture kindles some sense-memory and it warms my heart to see Hermione look... not so sad any more. "Tell me again how I broke up with Lavender?" Ron asks fairly confused.

Harry pauses on his soup, exchanges a glance with Hermione, who carefully withdraws her hand from Ron's. "Um, well, she came to visit you in the hospital, you see, and you talked -- I don't believe it was along conversation--"

"Don't get me wrong. I'm bloody thrilled to be shot of her. It's just she seems... a bit put out."Ron says as one, the four of us glance over at Lavender and are rewarded with a lethal squint. 

"Does, doesn't she? And you say you don't remember a thing from that night? Not one thing?" Hermione asks eyes expectant.

"Well... there is... something." Ron starts as Hermione starts to hang onto his words. "But no. It can't be. Besides, I was completely boggled, wasn't I?" 

"Right. Boggled..." Hermione slumps back, frowning and I can't help but to feel a pang of pain for her.

Harry smiles with amusement. Just then, a mild commotion draws our attention. At the back of the Hall, a group of girls surrounds a new arrival. "That's Katie. That's Katie Bell." I say getting up and walking towards her, she is pale but smiling and greets the other girls.

After a moment, she looks up and finds Harry and I standing before her. "How are you doing? I ask genuinely concerned.

"Give me a moment, girls." The girls drift off and I start to feel a little strange. "I know you're going to ask. But I don't know who cursed me. I've tried to remember. Honestly. But I just... can't..."

"I don't care about that more than I care about your well being. Are you actually getting better Katie?" I ask before I notice her eye's shifting.

She goes ashen and Harry and I turn, follows her gaze and finds... Malfoy, staring at her. Katie backs away, retreating to the other girls. Harry watches her go, then looks back and catches Malfoy fleeing the Hall. 

Harry and I follow, we turn a corner, then another, just as we are about to pass by another corner I get a strange feeling pulling me towards it. I turn to look and see someone round a corner we had just passed even though the three of us were the only ones in the hallway. I follow the feeling growing stronger. I pass the corner and hear a laugh. I look to my left and see someone peeking out behind it. "Want to play a game?" a female voice asks.

Something doesn't feel right. I start to feel hot and dizzy. "What's going on? Why am I..."

"Don't worry it's only temporary..." She laughs again.

She beacons me towards her and I follow, my mind starting to grow Hazy. I round the corner and I am suddenly outside, facing my dads house. I see someone walk in and I continue walking down to my dads house.

Harry's P.O.V.

Malfoy hurtles past a corner, I follow. I followed Malfoy into the bathrooms and when I get in there he is has steadied himself against the sink but stops, stunned. Malfoy's eyes shift. A horrified expression takes over his face. He wheels and points his wand. A very loud whoosh went by my ear, the lamp next to my head shatters and flames spider up the ceiling. I draw my own wand ducking behind a stall and fire back. The cistern behind Malfoy explodes and water sweeps the ceiling, raining down. Malfoy howls with rage and I ready myself. "Cruci--"
