My Love For You

Chapter 14: O.W.L. Results and a Letter

I awoke in the Burrow to Hermione and Ron shaking me, saying that Harry had arrived early that morning. I rushed with them to Fred and George's room, where he would be staying.

Ron hit him on the head playfully. "We didn't expect you 'til morning!!"

Harry groaned as he put on his glasses and Hermione yelled, "Ron!! Don't hit him!!"

I flung myself into Harry's arms. "I'm happy you've arrived, Harry!!"

He ruffled my hair and sat up. "So, what's new?"

"'Arry, it has been too long!" A pale, young woman with silky, silver hair gracefully waltzed into the room, carrying a breakfast tray for Harry. Fleur kissed Harry on both cheeks and placed the tray on his lap.

Mrs. Weasley bustled into the room. "There was no need to bring it up; I was just about to!"

Fleur smiled, revealing her dazzling white teeth. "It waz no trouble at all!"

Harry looked slightly confused. "But why are you here, Fleur?"

"You do not know?" She cast a glowering look at Mrs. Weasley.

"We haven't gotten around to telling him yet."

Fleur turned to Harry, beaming, "Bill and I will be married!!"

Harry almost choked on some egg. "That's great!"

Fleur smiled before exiting, followed by Mrs. Weasley, grumbling to herself.

Hemione examined a few of Fred and George's knick-knacks while we chatted. Ron anxiously egged Harry on about Dumbledore when suddenly, a puff of smoke came from Hermione's direction. She emerged with a black eye.

"Hermione, you better go to Mrs. Weasley. She must know a remedy to fix it." I said, hugging her arm and checking her eye.

Harry's face lit up. "Oh yeah! And Dumbledore said that OWL results arrive today!"

Hermione's face of pain quickly turned into fear. "Today?! You should have said-- oh my god-- I'll check for owls in the kitchen! Come on, Kiara!" I followed Hermione into the kitchen, and the boys shortly followed us.

Mrs. Weasley had a remedy book open and was examining Hermione's eye. "I just don't get it. These spells work all the time." She sighed, "Well if it was a Fred and George invention, they should have a cure."

"Are you sure no owls came by??"

"Yes, I'm sure, dear."

"I wonder when they'll--oh no! LOOK!!"

Four dots, unmistakably owls, were flying towards the window. When they landed, each of us untied the result letters.

I smiled at my grade sheet, receiving mainly E's and O's with only one A, being History of Magic. We all did very well, apart from Hermione panicking that she had one E for Defense Against the Dark Arts amongst her O's grade streak.

"Seven OWLS." Mrs. Weasley was impressed. She hugged Ron, "More than Fred and George put together!" Along with those results, we got our book and supply lists. It was time to shop.

After a long day at Diagon Alley, I lay on my bed with my jokes from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and my treats from Honeydukes.

Harry entered the room, a letter in her hands. It was from Draco.

__________

My dearest, (Angelica lol) Kiara,

I know we haven't been too close, especially since you've chosen Harry at this point. I've thought it over a long while, and now I genuinely accept your decision.

I still have feelings for you, but I can't wait to manifest those feelings into a blossoming friendship.

Sealed with my love, Draco

As I continued to read, my body tensed. Harry ran his hand through my hair and kissed my forehead. "It's alright, Kiara. He just wanted to let you know he accepts your decision. I just want you to be happy."

I hugged Harry close and kissed his cheek. "You're my most favorite person in the whole world. If you're happy, I'm happy."

We nuzzled our heads together until Ron walked in. "Harry, Mum says we have to go to sleep now. Goodnight, Kiara."

"Goodnight, boys."

I smiled as my memories drifted through my mind. I fell asleep quickly as I continued to imagine my life with Harry in the future.
