Your My Oxymoron

When Harry introduces himself, he notices what table I'm sitting at.

"Oh god," he says. "A nice Slytherin? Careful now, you might give them a good name."

"Huh?" I have no idea what that's all about.

"Oh, right. You're new. Slytherins," he drops his voice to a whisper "are usually kind of evil. We Gryffindors are supposed to be the light, the good."

"Maybe you're just simple. Maybe we're more interesting," I tease, folding your arms.

"Oh, I don't doubt that you're interesting. We're just supposed to not be together, that's all. You know, old enemies kind of thing." Harry shrugs.

"Oh like Romeo and Juliet?" I say, then immedietly blush."What's that?" He looks confused, so I wave a hand as an indicator to ignore it.

"It's...nothing. A muggle kind of thing." I smirk. "So...dear enemy, are you still going to show me around?"

"Sure thing. Meet outside the portrait of the fruit in the dungeons in a hour or so." 


* 1 hour fifteen minutes later*


I finally find the fruit picture, after some snotty blonde boy from my table and his two fat friends gave me the wrong directions. "Finally," I hear some one say when you round the corner. Harry is leaning againt a column, his eyes gleaming in the light of the torches. I stop, staring at his eyes, which are a deep, beautiful green. I try to say something, but I'm hypnotized by those eyes.

"Rose? Are you okay?" Harry's eyebrows furrow and you snap out of it.

"Yeah, sorry. Trick of the light."

"Let's go then," and he quickly raises a tapestry, revealing a hidden tunnel."oh Cool!" I exclaim, and duck inside. Me and Harry begin to walk when all of a sudden, I hear a scuttling noise. A HUGE spider crawls out of a niche, and shudders at the sight of me. It begins to come closer, it's pinchers flexing. I utter a shrill scream and backtrack but trip. Harry catches me, then shoves me behind him. "Stupefy," he says, and the spider flips over, apparently stupefied

."Thank you..." I say, shivering. "I hate spiders."

"It's alright," Harry says. "Just don't let them bother you." He puts an arm around me as I give a little sob. Finally, I finish walking through the tunnel, and end up at the door of the Gryffindor tower.

"See, now you can come see me whenever!" Harry grins as he opens the door. I begin to smile back, but are distracted when a striking red-head throws herself at Harry."Baby!" She squeals and kisses him full on the mouth."Hi," Harry says squirming away. His cheeks are the color of a stoplight. "Rose, this is Ginny."

"I'm his girlfriend," she says with a huge smile.

"Girlfriend?" I say. Ginny looks a bit put out, so you exclaim "oh, yes...we call them something different in America."

"You do?" She asks, looking positively frightening. "What do you call us 'girlfriends?'"

"Mates. Mate. You know...some one like that." I give a nervous laugh and edge by her. "Well, Harry, thanks for the tour, I gotta head back to my room now. Ginny...it was nice...okay, bye." I quickly turn and begin to descend down the tunnel.

"Rose!" I hear Harry call after me. I turn, a stupid, silly, smile plastered on my face. Ginny is clinging to Harry's arm, looking angrily at the ceiling.

"Stupefy," he says gently. And then he begins to close the door to the tunnel, leaving you in pitch black darkness. I begin to run towards the end of the tunnel, trying desperately not trip and fall. When I finally find the end, I run straight into the tapestry, and hear some one on the other side exclaim "oofh."
