SCARLETT: THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

Chapter 6: That's what you get when you let your heart win

'No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?' -Paramore, 'That's What You Get.'

So Hermione promised to ask Harry about teaching us spells and organising a meeting. Meanwhile, I went to find Seamus about the fight with Harry.

"Seamus, I can't believe you!" I said furiously. "Harry is telling the truth! I know he is! I read his mind!"

"Yeah, but he could have placed that thought in your head!"

"Necromancy sees through Memory Modification, Seamus." I glared at him. "Look, if you can't trust my word..I don't know if I can be with you."

Seamus just looked at me. "Fine." He said cooly.

Tears stung my eyes. I stood up and went back to the Hufflepuff Common Room and collasped in my dormitory. As soon as I arrived a sat down on my bed and cried into my pillow. I cried until there was no tears left.

Harry came back from his detention after I left, and Hermione told me, after comforting me about Seamus, that Umbitch was making him use a Blood Quill.

I gasped. "Those are illegal! She's not allowed to use them!"

"I know.." Hermione sighed. "I gave him Murtlap essence to rest it in, it wards off the pain.Then he got mad, again, and smashed the bowl."

I rolled my eyes. "Don't bother him for a while. Let him be miserable on his own. He may not realise it, but he's taking his anger out on everyone he cares about. It's not fair."

One Week Later

Dear Diary,

I hate to say it, but I'm not fully over Seamus. I thought that we had something special, but it turns out that he won't believe me when I'm telling the truth. That's not healthy for a relationship...but seriously, I want him back.

I don't wanna get the blame anymore though.

I guess that's what you get when you let your heart win...

I went for a walk with Eliza later. Eliza has been my best friend for 5 years now; that's something. She's been there for me when I've needed her. Her and 'Mione are the two people that I've always felt that I could trust. And Eden, of course. Piper...I always felt uneasy around her. Like she was going to tell the world everything she knew about me. All my deepest secrets. All my hidden desires. Everything.

"How are you holding up about...Scamus ending?" Eliza asked.

I sighed. "I'm really not over him. I'm trying to be, but it's not working."

Eliza sighed. "And Harry's all over Cho at the moment. She's playing his feelings like a violin."

I nodded. "I second that."

We decided to walk into Hogsmeade for a quick drink, but guess who we ran into?

Seamus.

It could've been any other person on this planet, but it had to be him.

I sorta ran off and hid behind a rubbish bin.

Eliza dealt with it quickly and I came out from my totally-not-obvious hiding place. Great work Scarlett!

I quickly dragged Eliza into The Three Broomsticks before we could run into Archie, Draco or somebody else that I'd dated/had a crush on.

I ordered two butterbeers and we sat down in the furthest corner of the café.

"So, when are you holding the meeting for the first years?" Eliza asked.

"After the big meeting with people in Hogsmeade. Hermione won't tell me where we're meeting them, though. And she said 'only a few people' to Harry and I'm pretty sure the whole school will be coming. Well, besides the odd Gryffindor, some Hufflepuffs, a Ravenclaw or two and pretty much all the Slytherins besides Raven."

"So is Harry going to the first year meeting? And how will the first years know when their first meeting is?"

"After the meeting, I'm going to tell them to go to Raven for Slytherin, Olivija for Ravenclaw, me for Hufflepuff and Hermione for Gryffindor. They'll be told when the first meeting is and be given the fake galleons that tell you when the next meeting is. I have a feeling that Hermione is working on them as we speak..and I don't think Harry will be at the First Year meeting. He never comes inside the Hufflepuff Common Room; I always go to Gryffindor Tower."

"He probably doesn't know the rhythm of the barrels."

"That's the thing though; he does. I told him in our first year. He just doesn't come down here. Well, he did last year but that was for the kitchens because Dobby's here."

"Dobby's here?"

"Another time."

We got up and left the place. I started fiddling with my string bracelet and ran smack bam into Draco.

Really?

This is just not my day.

I blushed a little as he helped me up and ran to catch up with his friend Blaise.

"I should ask Raven if Blaise is single...damn."

I nudged her and she nudged me back. Soon we were giggling non-stop on the walk back up to the castle.

*
I laid down on my bed that night and thought of Seamus, again.

I let him steal my heart. I didn't fight it. I didn't fight it at all..

But Draco...

Ugh.

That's what you get when you let your heart win!

Scaco (ScarlettXDraco) action!

What will happen next? Will Scarlett get over Seamus? Will Eliza find out Blaise's relationship status?

Find out in Chapter 7!
