The next day afterwards, Hermione and I planned to meet up at the library once lunch started so we can practice some spells together.
"Hermione," I say. She looked up from her book. "I just wanted to know, if you knew this about Harry..." By this I meant if she knew he hears voices, and spoke another language.
"No. Harry has always shocked me and Ron. I guess that's just what you got to adapt to if you're going to be friends with someone who survived the killing curse.." She says.
"But.. Doesn't it scare you a little? I mean.. He could be the heir.."
"Yes, I know that.. But he's my friend, and he's only trying to do what's right. I don't want to abandon our friendship because of something like that. I respect Harry, and I will always stay through his word."
"You're right Hermione.." I say a little bothered. It was silent after, but I could feel Hermione's stare through my skin.
"You know Harry has wanted to be friends with you ever since Haela talked about you with us." She said. I look up at her. "That's why when Harry first heard your name being called out on the day you were chosen your houses, he was staring at you. He's interested in you."
"Ha-how would you know that?" I say in a joking manner
"The point is, he doesn't want to not be friends with you Eyra. So why are you questioning your friendship with him?"
"No, I didn't say I didn't want to be friends with him. I do, I really do more than anything in the world even to keep our friendship! It's really complicated.."
"Please, tell me." Hermione insisted
I sigh "Somehow.. My mind is telling me that he's dangerous to be friends with, like if I get to close to him, I'll get killed or something.. But my mind is also wanting to protect him from harm too, like I would sacrifices myself just to protect Harry sort of manner. It's weird but it's how I feel when I'm around him"
Hermione thinks a little "So okay let me get this straight: if you get close to Harry, you'll die, but you would sacrifices yourself to protect Harry? So either way you'll die."
"I know, it's like my mind is the very definition of oxymoron."
"If you want my advise, I would say to listen to your heart and not your mind. Because friendships comes from the heart."
I start to smile, "You're totally right Hermione. I'm really glad I got to spend my morning with you. You give out just the best advise"
What Hermione said really got me thinking. Why the hell am I scared of him? Just last summer I couldn't even stop talking about him with Haela. I mean, I like him.. But I didn't know liking him would mean that I would be in grave danger, or at least it feels that way. As I walk down the hall for my next class, I saw Harry. I ran up to him and he looked at me surprised.
"Harry!" I pant
"Eyra?"
"I'm sorry I made you worry."
"What do you mean?" He asked
"I mean, I didn't want you to be worried that I would end our friendship. I will never do that. It's just all new to me I guess. I mean in the muggle world, I didn't have a lot of friends and even if I did I'd always push them away, and I guess that was what I was doing to you. And I don't want to do that to you." I say sincerely.
"It's alright Eyra. I'm just glad you don't want it to end either"
We had a few moments of staring at each other and smiling. His eyes were as bright as the stars, it was like staring into a bright green forest filled with so many trees that you couldn't even see the sky anymore. I had to stop staring because non of us were seeing where we were going, but I couldn't.
"Um uuh, so w-where did Professor McGonagall lead you to?" I ask trying to break contact.
"Oh, yeah.. She lead me to Professor Dumbledore's office..." He says
"What did he say? Are you in trouble?!" I say with a concern expression
"No, I'm not.. He asked me if I wanted to tell him anything"
"And what did you respond?"
"I said No." I says looking at his shoes whilst we walk through another flight of stairs
"What? Why didn't you tell him anything that has been happening for the past couple of days?" I say
"Because this is not normal. To speak such language... To hear such things.. It's not. Some of the best moments of my life happens in Hogwarts and if I just expelled... I technically lose my happiness." he says
"And if you told him about it. Do you really think professor Dumbledore is going to expel you? Do you really think that he's that cruel to do that?" I say or of frustration "You're the boy who lived for god's sake!"
"I know I am! But... " he hesitates and stopped walking in front of me. "But what if I am the descendant of Slytherin? What if I'm the one who actually opened the chamber's of secrets Eyra? I'm afraid to lose everything like how I almost lost you as a friend."
"You're not-"
"How would you know?!" He interrupts
"Even if you are or not, you still have a big heart to prove to us that your still the Harry who stood up to his friends! Look I don't have a lot of time to be chatting Harry because my class if right around the corner but I'll tell you the same thing Hermione told me: I respect you Harry, and I don't want to abandon our friendship because of something like that. I will always stay through your words. And I know I've questioned our friendship but now, now I know that I want to be beside you no matter what the cost is. At least you have one less person to worry about."
Harry didn't respond, but I left to my class afterwards. I hope he I have helped his stress about being part of Slytherin or not. Don't worry Harry, not matter what. I will always stay by your side.

A/N: okay! Aha this was a small chapter but that's alright! I'm planning to update more often so that's why it's not as big as the previous chapters. But u hope this is fine also like I said in am going to keep updating this even if there's no one reading or whatever, I'm doing thing because I love doing this and not to become famous or whatever. I love writing and I actually like it better if no one read this only because sometimes I get embarrassed but I would appreciate if people did read it but I'm only doing this as a hobby because it's fun. I hope you can understand that.
