Forgotten Past (Harry Potter variousXfem!reader)

Ch 16- Chills

'This is not going to end well.' 

"Pottah."

"Malfoy." 

Both their voices had venom seeping through them, in hopes to somehow, tell the other person to back off. Not wanting the situation to get any worse, I quickly started,

"Well you wouldn-"

"Back of! She's hanging out with me!"

Surprised by the mostly silent male's sudden confidence, I couldn't help but smile fondly at him. The other two present there had seemed to notice this. You would think that they are thinking the same thing when you look at their faces but there train of thought were a bit different. One was blaming himself while the other had the complete wrong idea about the whole situation.

'Maybe that diggory was right...'

Harry pov

'Is she ignoring me...I saw her going around the whole castle on the map...Maybe she was running away from me.'

"Thank you for your help today Neville. Though I must say, I'm surprised the other two actually left."

"Did you....did you want them to stay..?"

"No.. not really, I wanted to spend time with you." Giving him a closed eye grin, I quickly left feeling happy about how everything turned out.  Meanwhile, it seemed like cupid has tugged a few heartstrings in our sweet little boy. 

I walked out of the library towards the Gryffindor tower, I wanted to apologize to Harry for ditching him twice now. It was very quiet, only my footsteps softly being heard. "Why is it so quie-." I felt someone curl their arms around my waist. Only two people I know do that. Two people who have given me rather intimate nicknames. 

"M'lady. Missed class today?" (Pretty sure everyone knows who this is ;))

"I was...resting.." He replied resting his chin on my shoulder and I put my hands on top of his hands. 

"Hmmm. So you were tired....If you want we could go out on a date again! You know to help calm down a bit." He said, his lips lifting into a smirk. Though, I was distracted by the first part of the sentence, a light hue placing itself on my cheeks.

"That wasn't a date." 

"Oh c'mon M'lady, even Malfoy thought so."

"Since when do you trust the opposite team's seeker. Betrayed Harry?" I said smirking back at him, knowing it would piss him off even more. I thought he would let go of me, but his grip just tightened. 

"Well no matter who says it, the truth will remain the truth. He tagged along with us the whole time though, he was kinda annoying. Maybe he was scared I would take the prettiest girl in school for myself?"

"Oh please, he's an overly dramatic teenage boy, nothing to it."

....Silence....

"Hmph." I could see his mood visibly worsening. I took a small pause before smiling to myself.

"Even though..."

 I turned around and stood on my tipy-toes, wrapping my arms around his neck. D̶a̶n̶g̶, h̶e̶'s̶ t̶a̶l̶l̶.

"Thank you Mr. Wood, I love hugs. " I breathed out, placing my lips on his cheeks before running away, waving goodbye. 

Meanwhile, he stood there as if a hyperactive child had just seen a playground. Softly caressing the part I had kissed, he waves back, 

"Bye.."

I knew Harry was on his bed, looking at the map. But I can't join him on this late night endeavour, I have no interest in diverting the plot from the original storyline more then it is. Thankfully, telling myself this multiple times throughout the night kept me glued to my chair. 

'Tomorrow, we will have crystal gazing.....I think it is time. I'll do it.' I planned out every single detail, and boy, using your brain takes SO much energy. 

'Nothing in it, but to do it I guess.' I eventually finished, and head to bed. Mione didn't mind, she thought I was doing homework, though she did seem suspicious of me when I said that. Why, you ask? Because I have never done my homework before time.

The next morning, I abruptly woke up because of Hermione's franticness. 

"Wake up! You daft dimbo, you're going to be late."

"5 more minutes..." I said groggily, rubbing my eyes.

"Breakfast ends in 10 minutes."

"HERMIONE WHAT ARE YOU DOING LETS GO!"

We quickly got ready and went to the the great hall, stuffed some pancakes into our mouths and then head to divination.

"Broaden your mindsss. Today we shall look into the art of crystal gazing." D̶e̶j̶a̶ V̶u̶ m̶u̶c̶h̶-.

Professor Trelawney is weird... But her prediction was correct, so I can't say anything about it. Harry was sitting between me and Ron, Hermione just behind us.

"Look into the ball dear, and tell me what you see." She said, directing those words towards Harry. 

'Hermione, please no-'

"May I try?" ' Oh god'

"Ummm, how about the grim..?"

Professor Trelawney was quiet for a bit, before she started,

"I sensed as soon as you came into this class, you do not possess the talent required for the noble art of divination. Mind, too occupied, and soul as dry as the pages of a book." (I didn't remember the exact lines, pls cooperate)

Hermione's face turned into one of a predator and knocked the ball down, storming out of the class. "Woah, what's wrong with her?" Ron said, bewildered, clearly just as shocked as Harry. 

"I mean you would have the same reaction if someone told you your soul is as dry as pages of a book."

"Well, cant argue with that."

The class was dismissed and we stormed after Hermione. We saw the ball on the stairs, just sitting there. Now I knew that Harry would go to return it, but just in case. 

"We should go return it.." 

"You wanna seriously go back there, willingly ?"

"Shut up Ronald, wait some time, I'll go keep it."

"Umm, I'll come with you..."

'Knew it.' I smirked in triumph, knowing, that we he wanted to talk to me about that day. 

We head to the room, quiet and lit by candles. We placed the ball on the table, she was supposed to come. Where is she?

"IT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT. THE DARK LORD LIES ALONE AND FRIENDLESS, ABANDONED BY HIS FOLLOWERS. HIS SERVANT HAS BEEN CHAINED THESE TWELVE LONG YEARS. TONIGHT, BEFORE MIDNIGHT..THE SERVANT WILL BREAK FREE AND SET TO REJOIN HIS MASTER......        I'm sorry dear, did I say something."

I always thought what the big deal was about this scene, but experiencing it...really does send chills down my spine...
