The next morning, Lio woke up next to Harry, who held her tighter as she tried to get up.
   "I have to get uppp" she laughed, struggling to get out of his grasp. He cuddled her into his chest.
   "Little longer.."
She kissed his cheek, and jumped out of the bed as he loosened his grasp on her, surprised and tomato coloured. She grinned and stuck her tongue out at him, grabbing her clothes and walking into the bathroom.
He grinned giddily and lay back on the bed.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

They walked into the great hall together, going to their usual seats opposite Hermione and Ron.
After breakfast, they were about to get up when Draco came up to Lio.
   "Lia! I can't believe you left Daniel with Looney Lovegood!" She rolled her eyes and flicked his forehead.
   "Ow!"
   "Don't call her that. And she's an amazing babysitter, don't worry. He was in good hands. I have a free period now, so I can look after him." He sighed and nodded.
   "Just tell me next timee" he whined.
She chuckled. "Yeah, ok. Let's go get him." She turned to Harry. "Bye Har, see you later?"
   "Yeah, see you later" he hugged her and she left him staring after her.

In class, Ron was almost falling asleep in the back of the classroom, while Harry was smiling happily next to him.
   "What're you so happy about?" He asked grudgingly.
   "Have you ever noticed the way Lia smiles? She's so passionate about things, y'know? She can't even see the thestrals, but she's still friends with them. Even Draco can't be mad at her. She has nice skin, too, don't you think?" Ron raised his eyebrows at his best friend.
   "Bloody hell you're smitten mate!"
Harry just smiled, clearly focused on other things.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

After class, he went to find her, grinning like an idiot as he thought about last night. He soon found her, sitting on the grass under a tree, with Danny on her lap and a book in her hands. He was chortling at the pictures, and turning the pages himself.
Harry smiled, walking over to her.
She looked up, smiling at him.
   "Hey! Come join us? We've got an hour before break ends. What class do you have next?" She asked as he sat down.
   "Transfiguration. You've got defence against the dark arts right?" She grinned.
   "Yeah, with the slytherins" he grimaced, huffing. "What? Har, you know I care about you a lot, but they're also my friends! Please don't do this again." He softened.
   "You're right, I'm sorry. I'll try really hard to not get jealous anymore."
   "Thanks, it means a lot." She smiled. Danny tugged at Lio's sleeve.
   "Book! Book!" She clapped and smiled.
   "Yes! Well done! That's a book, well done Danny!" She kissed the top of his head, and the three of them spent the rest of the break together.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

As break ended, Lio got up and pulled Harry up with her. She picked Danny up as well.
   "Say bye bye to Harry, Danny!" He beamed and waved.
   "Bah bai hawy!" Harry chuckled and waved back, and Lio kissed his cheek and left, leaving Harry to get flustered all over again.
She went over to Hagrid this time, since everyone else was going to classes.
   "Hello 'ere Lia! Is this lil danny?"
   "Yep! Thank you so much Hagrid" she handed Danny to him, who immediately busied himself playing with his beard.
   "Don'tye worry about a thing, 'e's welcome any time" she smiled, waving as she ran to class.
She got there a bit late, running into the hall and interrupting the lesson.
   "Miss Beau, you must, of course, have a reasonable explanation for tardiness, am i correct?" Umbridge smiled as Lio sat down.
   "Yes, I do, I'm so sorry, I had to drop Danny off with Hagrid."
   "You had to what?" She puzzled, frowning.
   "Oh, sorry, Danny's my kid. It's just that everyone else is in classes right now and I wouldn't want him to disrupt my education." Umbridge looked astounded, but knew she wouldn't be able to do anything about it for the moment.
   "Well then, I will not punish you this time, but if this is to happen again!"
   "It won't professor, I promise" Umbridge smiled fakely and nodded, going back to teaching.
Blaise was sitting next to her, and he grinned at her, sliding her a note.
Someone's teacher's pet~
Lio stifled a laugh and hit him softly under the table, making him smirk.
After class, she packed up her things and started walking out the door, only to be met with a familiar face.
   "Harry! What are you doing here??" She asked, beaming at him.
   "My class finished early so I thought I'd come see you" he held out his arm, grinning. "May I?"
She laughed and linked her arm in his.              "You may"
They walked down the halls together, laughing, until they got to the Great Hall.
As they got to the entrance, Lio stopped him.
   "Hey, I've just got two things to do and then I'll meet you at your table, ok?" He nodded, and let her go.
She walked over to the ravenclaw table first, tapping anthony on the shoulder.
    "Hey, I got you a date for this weekend. Don't you dare hurt her, or I will be very mad." Anthony nodded quickly, looking over to where Lio was pointing. At the hufflepuff table, a girl was looking over at them anxiously, twirling her hair around her finger. She smiled nervously when she saw them looking.
    "That's Olivia, she's the sweetest, so please be careful with her, ok?" Anthony nodded, staring.
   "She's pretty.." he murmured. Lio laughed and walked over to the slytherin table next.
   "Ah love is in the air~ i wish i had someone.." she said, coming up to where Adrian was sitting. "Don't." She glared at Blaise, Pansy and Draco as they opened their mouths to make snarky remarks.
   "Here's your book A, it took me ages to find so be grateful." She paused. "Ok that's a lie, i used a spell. But you should still be grateful!" He grinned at her, taking the book from her.
   "Thank you Tyy" she turned, about to walk away, when Draco grabbed her wrist.
   "Don't gooo talk to uss" she rolled her eyes.
   "Sorry, I told Harry I'd sit with him for lunch. See you later" she ruffled his hair and went to the gryffindor table as the three of them booed at her.
She slumped down next to Harry, and started eating. Hermione smiled at her.
   "Hey Lia! Did you hear about the party this friday?"
   "Yeah, it's gonna be fun, are you coming?"
   "Yes, I think it would be good to mingle with other houses. Ron said he'll come with me, so that only leaves Harry." Lio turned to him.
    "Harryyy pleaseee" she grabbed his arm and made puppy dog eyes. "You can finally meet all my friends, c'mon, it'll be funn" she grinned as he sighed.
   "Fine. I'll try to be nice, but one overstep and I'll-" "yes, i know. I won't let that happen." She grinned and went back to eating.
Finishing her food, Lio stood up and patted Harry on the back.
   "Ok, I'm going to see the thestrals with Luna, see you in Herbology!" He smiled at her as she left, before sighing and resting his head on his hand.
   "Bloody 'ell mate, you're so attached!" Hermione nodded. "He's right Harry, you've been very dependant on Lia these past few days. Is something the matter?" Harry shrugged.
   "I'm not dependant, I'm just tired." Seeing the look on his face, Hermione stopped trying to question him and went back to her food, but resolved to ask Sirius about it later.
Meanwhile, Lio walked through the woods, finding Luna in the clearing, stroking the air.
   "Heyy" Luna smiled, beckoning her over.
   "Hey. They've been waiting for you." She led Lio's hand to touch the nose of her favourite thestral, Fiona. Lio smiled and stroked her.
   "She's so friendly still! How's the baby doing?"
   "She's fine. She's over there, eating the meat I gave her." Luna pointed and Lio waved, hoping the little one was paying attention.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

After getting back, Lio went to Herbology and sat next to Harry. He watched her curiously, noting how her eyes were zoning out constantly and she didn't seem to be paying attention. In Care of Magical Creatures she did the same thing, and he started to worry. She didn't even smile when bowtruckles were mentioned. At dinner, she sat with him and stared at her food, zoning out again, so he decided he had better help. Picking up her spoon, he got her some soup, figuring it would be easier to eat. He held the spoon out, his hand underneath to stop it dripping, and called to her.
   "Lia, here" she turned and tiredly opened her mouth, letting him feed her, not even realising what she was doing. Hermione and Ron watched, surprised, as he fed her a whole bowl of soup, and then it was breaktime. He took her by the hand and gently led her into the courtyard. They sat down in the grass and she laid down, her head in his lap. He smiled and played with her hair.
   "Hey, d'you want to go to your dorm?" She shook her head sleepily.
   "No, we have astronomy next I can't miss it" she mumbled. He chuckled.
   "Ok. So I take it you're my responsability then?" She nodded, grinning.
They went to astronomy together after sunset, in the astronomy tower. They sat down when they got there, and Lio leaned her head on Harry's shoulder, trying so hard to concentrate through the lesson.
When it was finally over, she was about to collapse. He slid his hand under her legs and picked her up, carrying her to the ravenclaw dorm. The door, upon seeing Harry standing there panting with a knocked out Lio, just let them in sighing. He brought her into her dorm and took off her jacket, thinking it was probably uncomfortable for her, lying her on the bed. Luna wasn't there, so he figured he would stay until she got there. He lay down facing Lio, who immediately snuggled into him as close as she could get, nuzzling her head into his chest. He blushed, pulling the blanket up over the both of them, falling asleep himself soon after.
