It Started With A Lie. [Harry Potter FanFic]

Departure Of Panic

Mira's POV

I sat up and looked at Harry, He was glaring at us, but I guessed it was directed at me.

"Uhh..um." I stuttered. I didn't know what to say, so I pulled my wand out. I used the apparition spell and disappeared from the room. I landed in a heap on the floor of the Ravenclaw common room. Luckily the spell worked properly. I couldn't bear losing a part of my body. I stretched and put my wand in my pocket, then gazed around the room.

"April?" I whispered. No response. I called her name again. Still nothing. I shrugged and went upstairs. I tried not to wake any of the girls, so i tip toed over to my bed on the other side of the room. I peeped over at April's bed. It was empty. I started to get a little worried. Before I could do anything more, my eyes closed and I fell alseep on the bed.

April's POV

My eyes fluttered open and I saw Draco lying next to me. He shifted so that he was facing me. I saw him smile so I returned it. He wrapped his arms around me and I nuzzled against him.

''I should probably get back soon,'' I sighed.

Draco's eyes bored into me, ''Do you really have to?''

I giggled, ''Yeah. I bet Mira's worried.''

''You're such a tease,'' He smirked

Shrugging I sat up, ''I know.''

Mira's POV

I woke up to find nobody in the dorm. I looked down to see that I was still wearing my tiger pyjamas. I hopped out of April's bed and stumbled to the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. "Ah!" I cried. The face paint I had put on last night had run down my face, as if I was crying. I decided to have a quick shower.

When I was finished, I changed back into my tiger pyjamas. I went back to April's bed and checked her pillow. Black splotches were stained on the cover. I slipped the cover off and replaced it with a new one.

''What she doesn't know won't kill her,'' I shrugged.

I threw the pillow cover out the window because I couldn't be bothered finding the cleaning room. I dried my hair and styled it lazily. I walked downstairs at the exact same time when April came through the door.

"April!" I attacked her with a tight hug.

"Hey, Mira!" I pulled away and saw her smiling brightly. She looked twice as happy as usual.

"Where were you? Where did you go?" I asked.

April brushed past me and sat down on the couch. I followed her and sat down. I crossed my legs and faced her.

"Well?" I nudged her.

She looked up, a bright sparkle in her eyes. "I'll tell you after I freshen up." April got up and made her way upstairs.

I heard a knock on the door. I got up and answered the it - Neville standing there.

"Uhh, hi Neville." I muttered, looking down. He was still wearing his suit from last night. There were bags under his eyes, which made him look like he had no sleep.

"Hey Mira. I wanted to talk to you before class."

I moved to the side to let Neville in. He stepped inside and went to sit down where I was moments before. I followed him and sat down.

"Why did you leave?" He asked, shaking slightly.

"I...I didn't know what to say. I panicked." I bit my lip and looked down, ashamed.

"It's alright. Nothing really happened after that. Except Harry got a little angry."

I looked up. "Angry? How angry?"

Neville shook his head. He pulled my closer to him. I rested my head on his chest, and he stroked my hair.

"I love you Neville." I whispered.

"I love you too, Mira." I looked up, and kissed him on the lips.
