Chapter 2 : The Note

You can already tell by the title of this chapter, that there is going to be a note involved. But what kind of note? The answer is simple: a love note. Okay, maybe not a love note, but it's definitely something about Harry fancying Celesta.

Among all Celesta's friends, Hermione was the closest to her, maybe because they were both girls and shared the same dormitory. But Hermione and Harry didn't seem to get along much, and they often quarrelled about who was smarter and who made better decisions. Although Celesta's relationship with Ron wasn't so close as her and Hermione's relationship, they sure do get along more than Harry and Hermione. Often during Harry and Hermione's quarrels, Celesta and Ron were the ones that stopped the two from fighting.

Usually, Harry woke up the latest of all the boys, excluding Ron, who lived in the Gryffindor dormitory, but today Harry was the first to awaken of all the Gryffindors. He quickly changed into his robes and walked down to the common room. He sat onto a couch, pulled out a quill and a piece of scrunched parchment paper from his pocket and started writing. He wrote 'Dear Hermione, I was just wondering if you have seen Celesta recently, she's never there when I need her, and I really miss her. Don't tell Celesta about what I just wrote in this note! Or else...' Harry secretly handed Hermione the note before Potions class.

"Why are we passing notes during class, Miss Granger? Give me that note!" Asked Professor Snape angrily.

"That was before class, so it doesn't count," answered Harry defiantly.

"That will be 20 points from Gryffindor for passing notes during class and another 20 points for talking back at me." Professor Snape purposely emphasised the 'during' in his sentence.

Before Harry could say a word, Snape had snatched the note from Hermione's hand and read it out loud. "Dear Hermione, I was just wondering if you have seen Celesta recently, she's never there when I need her, and I really miss her. Don't tell Celesta about what I just wrote in this note! Or else..."

"Seems like you got a girlfriend there, Potter," said Draco Malfoy, pointing to Celesta sitting at the back of the classroom. Harry blushed and looked away from Celesta.

By the time Potions had ended, all the students, even the Gryffindors were talking about Harry and the note. Of course, the note was confiscated and brought to Professor Dumbledore by Professor Snape, but Harry wasn't worried at all. He just smiled and imagined Celesta writing him a note back saying that he misses him too. Harry's thoughts were too naive, because that never happened.
