Just Breathe

Chapter 11

When I woke up my owl was sitting on the window. The sun shone brightly through the window almost blinding me. I looked over my shoulder to see Harry sleeping peacefully. I honestly didn't think that was possible. I carefully stepped out of bed careful not to wake him up. I tip-toed over to the window and took the letter before letting Holly go. I took the letter and was nervous when I saw it was from "U" I had no clue who that was and what they wanted but it was scary. I decided to open it alone so I left the boys dorm and went into my room. Hermione was already up even though it was the weekend. I smiled at her before hiding the letter in my trunk. I took out some black leggings and put on my black skater skirt. I wore a white button up shirt and my Gryffindor tie but didn't put on my robes. We would be going to Hogsmeade so I didn't want to take too long getting ready after breakfast. Me and Hermione walked down to the great hall together, chatting about L.A. We sat down and I took some bacon and eggs with a glass of pumpkin juice. A bit later the boys walked in and we're talking so I went back to paying attention to Hermione. "Hey." A voice whispered in my ear as a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. "Hey." I smiled as Harry kissed my cheek. He sat down next to me and took some food on his plate. "So what do you want to do in hogsmeade." He said as he took some eggs. "Well, I wanted to walk around a bit first but we could go to some shops." I said taking a sip of my juice. He nodded. "What about you two?" He asked looking at Hermione and Ron. "I'm going with Lavender." Ron said which caused Hermione to make a scoffing sound. "Why Lavender?" I asked taking another sip. "She's my girlfriend." He replied. I quickly spit out all my juice which landed on Harry. "Sorry." I said sheepishly. "It's alright but why are you so...surprised?" He asked as I helped him wipe off the juice. "Well, Lavender is my best friend but, she usually just spends all day snogging. She's a bit crazy."I rushed out. "Got that right." Hermione muttered. "I'm going to go get ready." She said before walking off. I saw Lavender enter and I stood up and walked over to her. "What the hell do you think your doing." I said making her expression change. "What on earth are you talking about?" She said crossing her arms. "Your dating Ron!" I almost screamed. "So what! My Won Won loves me." She pouted. "No he doesn't you just want to snog him 24/7!" I shouted making everyone look at us. "Why do you even care?" She scoffed. "Because he is my friend." I retorted. "Are you sure it's just that." She smirked. I had enough. "Listen. You are just using him so when you get stabbed in the back don't come crying to me." I said before walking away to the common room. I went up into my room and got dressed into this: http://www.polyvore.com/m/set?.embedder=12172887&.svc=copypaste&id=149580121
I smoothed out my shirt and grabbed my black coat. I walked out of the dorm into the common room but when I stepped into the room everyone stared at me and no one said a word. "What?" I said. "Nothin'." Seamus said before everyone turned back. Harry hopped off the stairs. "Ready to go?" He asked grabbing my hand. I pulled it back quickly still staring at the ground. "Riley?" He asked. "I'm not going." I whispered walking back to my dorm. "Riley come back!" He shouted up the stairs. I ignored him and shut the door. Hermione came up the stairs and stood at the top. Someone banged on the door loudly. "Riley come on."'he said. I sat on the bed with my knees hugged to my chest crying but no tears came out. "Riley!" He shouted. Visions of the night in my fifth year flashed through my mind. "Your not my father?" "No I'm sorry Riley..." I closed my eyes tight. "You are worthless, no one wants you. Your a waste of time..." A tear threatened to roll down my cheek. My breath hitched as a tight ball formed in my throat. "Riley I'm sorry please..." I struggled to gain my breath back to normal. I look up but my vision was cloudy from the tears. I stood up and stumbled to the door. I made sure it was locked and couldn't be opened by any spell. I went over to the small table next to my bed and took my puffed out from the drawer. I struggled at first but eventually got it. My lungs opened and my breathing became normal again. I put it away, hiding it in a small cloth. "Riley open up please!" Harry said banging on the door. "Alohmora." I muttered pointing my wand at the door. Harry burst inside and slammed the door behind him. "Get up." He said crossing his arms. "Pet up!" He said frustrated. I slowly stood up nervously. My stomach was flipping all over the place as he stepped closer to me. I looked down up until he softly lifted my chin up. When I looked at him his eyes weren't hard and angry, but rather soft and caring. "Please tell me." He whispered. "What did I do." I whispered. He pulled me into his chest and swayed back and forth. "The right thing." He said into my hair. "Cmon, why don't we go down to get you a drink." He said going to the door. He looked back at me and grabbed my coat before holding out his hand. I took it softly as he kissed my cheek and we walked down the stairs. "Dons going to kill me." I mumbled as I looked in the corner to see him and lavender giving me dirty looks. We rushed out of the common room and met Hermione outside. "Her and Ronald need to learn privacy." She said clutching her stomach. I smirked as I knew she liked him. "Hey guys! Wait up!" Ron called from behind us. He ran up and started walking with us. "Didn't think I'd ditch you for her did Ya?" He said. "All she ever does is snog with me all the time. My lips are becoming chapped look!" He said leaning down to show me. I pushed him away. "Don't think so." I laughed as we walked down the snowy path to hogsmeade. Harry looked a bit upset as we walked so I walked faster next to him. "Everything alright?" I asked him putting my hands into my coat. "Ya it's just that last time we were here Katie Bell was cursed." He said taking a deep breath. "Oh." Was all I could manage. I didn't even know that happened. We used to be friends.

Harry's POV:
We were walking down the same path that I had seen Katie Bell cursed from the necklace. I felt guilty for some reason walking down here. The thought of it was stuck in my head and j couldn't get rid of it. "Everything alright?" Riley said from next to me. I took a deep breath. "Ya it's just that last time we were here Katie Bell was cursed." She looked down at the ground. "Oh." She said quietly after a while. I looked down at her. For some reason all I saw was Katie. Her facial features were just like hers and I couldn't shake the memory from my mind.

Hermione dropped her arms on our shoulders as she giggled. Obviously too much butter beer. Ron was still upset about seeing Ginny and Dean in the three broomsticks. We were talking while Katie Bell and her friend walked in front of us. They were chatting quietly and Katie held what looked like a necklace in her hands. Suddenly, someone screamed. We stopped and looked in front of us. "I told her not to touch it!" Katie's friend said scared. I looked over and the necklace was on the ground while Katie looked like something was controlling her. It dragged her across the ground and lifted her in the air. She started screaming until it dropped her limo body. "Out of the way out of the way." Harris said picking up Katie. I went over to the necklace and was about to pick it up when Hagrid interrupted me. "Only touch the wrappings." He said. I carefully picked it up and we walked back to the castle.

I shivered as we reached hogsmeade and I looked over to Riley. "You okay?" I asked her. She jumped a bit and looked up at me. "Ya I-I'm fine." She said before rushing inside to honey dukes.
