Beyond Bloodlines

The Beginning of the Summer

*Y/n's POV*

"Careful Potter, people might think you care about me," I smirked as we climbed out of the chamber.

"Why would anyone think that?"

"If they suddenly found out you called me Y/n down there, and you know told me not save myself, people might get the wrong message,"

"You are just as innocent, you called me Harry and not Potter,"

"Let's just forget this ever happened and go back to being enemies,"

"Sounds great to me,"

We walked our separate ways, me catching up with Gin and Potter catching up with Ron.

After we both got cleaned up and made sure we didn't have any wounds Ginny and I both flopped on our beds. I was exhausted from all that had happened and even though Ginny was dying through it I thought she'd be too. Sadly, I was wrong.

She immediately sat back up on her bed facing me, "so what's going on between you and Harry?"

It's no secret that Ginny fancies him and I knew she was suggesting I liked him, yet she didn't seem mad about it.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you like him?"

"Potter? Harry 'the chosen one Potter'? You're suggesting I like him?"

"Well, you did work well together to save me, and you called him Harry and he even called you Y/n. Ever since you guys met that's never happened," Ginny explained.

"I don't like him. For many reasons but let me start off with, do you know what my brother and father would do if I did? I'd be dead before the next school year starts," I started, and Ginny nodded knowingly, "and all we do is fight, he is my enemy nothing more,"

"I don't know, I think you might end up liking him someday,"

"Why are you encouraging this? We are literally talking about your crush and you're basically setting me up with him,"

"I'm not sure, I just know a good thing when I see it,"

"Potter and me? A good thing? Ginny get your eyes checked,"

Ginny laughed and I soon joined in, "oh and Gin, I think we're just a tad too young to date anyways,"

During the final feast Ginny and I were talking when we looked up to see Potter hugging someone then I looked closer.

"Hermione!" I ran to her engulfing her in a hug after her little awkward moment with Ron, "I've missed you so much,"

"Mione!" Ginny hugged her after.

"I've missed you so much,"

As we boarded the train to go home Draco made me sit with him, Crabbe, and Goyle, which was far from where I wanted to sit.

"Draco, why can't I sit with them?"

"Because Y/n, what if father and mother saw you with them when we pull up?"

"Wow, you really think father is coming to pick us up? You're in denial and besides the windows are tinted they can't see anything," I reasoned.

"We're wizards!"

"Okay, then what about this. I sit with them on the way home, but in the last couple minutes I'll sit with you, so they don't suspect anything. Is that okay?"

Draco groaned, "yeah, fine. I guess go sit with your friends,"

"Thanks Dray, love you," I hugged him and walked away.
