Potter, Be Mine

I Don't Know If I Can Forgive

I went to Arithmetic class alone. Harry didn't take this class. The only reason I took this class was because Hermione wanted me to join so that she didn't have to be alone there. And yet, here we were.

I sat down at a desk, at the back of the class, and saw Hermione come in. She looked around and saw me. My best friend hesitated at first, but then came and sat down next to me anyways. 

" Um...Hi?" she asked anxiously. 

" Ya, hi..." I said, being rude but not really caring. She stared at me. 

" OK, I'm sorry! I know, I should've gone with you and Harry, but...well...I actually don't know why I stayed with Ron!" She was practically having a panic attack. I felt bad, but just couldn't bring myself to forgive her. 

" Hermione, it's not that easy. I mean, I thought we would be best friends forever. And that nothing could drive us apart. Including boys...No actually, especially boys! I would never let Harry get between us like that." I said. 

" I know! And I am really really-" Hermione got cut off. the professor had just came in.

Two hours later I was walking down the stairs to lunch. I was half way when I heard someone call out behind me. 

" Hey! Katie, wait up!" I turned to see Harry running down the stairs. I stopped and waited for him. He finally leveled with me. 

" Hey." he said. 

" Hi." I replied. We started to walk again and he slipped his hand into mine.I smiled at him. We stopped and gazed into each other's eyes. I just love those eyes. He leaned in, I think to kiss me, but I stopped him. I really like him, but I knew we would get ridiculed even more. 

" We can't. Remember..." I trailed off and Harry looked away, his face pink and nervous. 

" Well well well... What do we have here Potter?" Draco, who had just came down the stairs, smiled cruelly. Triss was with him, smirking mischievously. I hadn't seen her in quite a while. 

" What do you want?" I sneered. 

" What's with this hand holding? And what was that about not getting a kiss Potter?" I blushed furiously and looked away. Harry went red. This was bad, now everyone was going to know about us. Even worse it was Draco and Triss. The entire reason we wanted to keep this quiet was because of them. 

" Mind your own business, will you?!" Harry defended. 

" You know Potter, I can get a kiss whenever I want." At that he leaned over to Triss and started to kiss her, to mine and Harry's disgust. I glanced at Harry. He was infuriated. 

" C'mon Harry. He isn't worth it. You know that." I said, in vain hope that he wouldn't attack Malfoy. As much as I hated Draco, I didn't want Harry to get into trouble. my encouraging didn't work.

" My love life is none of your business!" Harry yelled. He was ignored. 

" I mean look at this. She can't get off me." Malfoy shot a glance at Triss who was stroking his arm. " And Mr. The Chosen One here can't even get a girl to kiss him!" 

" Shut up!" 

" I mean really. I thought this girl liked you. Always figured she was demented or something. Guess I was wrong, she does have some taste. Although can't have to much. Someone as pretty as her, she could be my girlfriend. But no, she was an idiot and became friends with you,Granger, and Weasley." 

Now not even I could contain my anger. Much less Harry. 

" YOU WANT ME TO KISS HIM!? FINE!!" I turned around and smashed my lips into Harry's. We didn't pull away for a minute or so.  I turned back around and looked at Draco. He seemed impressed. 

" There! Happy?!" I said, so angry I was almost shaking. I clutched Harry's arm and turned us around. I started to walk away with my boyfriend when I was suddenly grabbed and turned back around. I was face to face with Draco. He grabbed put his lips on mine very forcefully. Harry yelled. I squirmed and tried to wiggle out of Malfoy's grip but he was to strong. I wriggled and thrashed but to avail. After a minute or so I felt Harry pry me out of his grip. I fell to the floor and yelled in agony. My ankle was twisted. 

I saw Harry take out his wand and direct  it towards Draco's turned back. Out of the corner of my eye I could see McGonagall walking towards us. 

" Harry, don't!" I screamed. He ignored me. 

" Stupefly!" he bellowed. Draco went flying down the stairs. McGonagall showed up. She looked at Harry with his wand,me crying on the floor and holding my ankle, and Malfoy sprawled at the bottom of the stairs. She was bewildered. 

" Oh my heavens! Harry Potter! Katie to the Hospital Wing! Triss help Draco to Dumbledor's office and both of you will tell what happened. When you are better you shall too. Potter! 50 points from Gryffindor!" She stormed of, muttering angrily to herself. 

Harry came over to me. He helped me up, but didn't notice the death glares I was giving him. When we got to the Hospital Wing he tried to help me in but I stopped him. 

" No. Go away. I really don't even want to look at you right now." I said, furious. Harry had the same expression of bewilderment on his face as McGonagall had. 

" Wait...? But..." 

" Go!" he gave me one last glance and then skulked away. I went in and onto one of the beds, with great difficulty. 

As Professor Pompfrey started to mend my ankle, I thought about how I was angry with all my best friends. Ron said all those hurtful things and didn't believe me, Hermione seemed to not always have my back, and apparently I couldn't trust harry to do the right thing even when I told him to for his own best interest! My entire world was falling apart. 

" OK, hun. Just rest it. Stay in here tonight and you should be fine by tomorrow. I'll get you some lunch, seeming as you never got any."

As I sipped some tea I thought about how I could fix all of this by forgiving them all. But that's easier said than done. I just can't bring myself to forgive any of them....
