Loving Her (Harry Potter Love Story)

chapter 15

Umbrige was like ivy. At least in Scarlett's opinion. The woman clings onto everything and won't let go , not to mention how annoying she is.

The pink beast had started to interview all of the teachers and staff all week. It was funny the first two times but as it went on it became less amusing.

Snape and been the funniest. He had looked ahead with a bored expression on his face and spoke in a baritone voice. Umbridge circled him like a vulture with a sickly sweet voice. Scarlett had to practically stuff her fist in her mouth to not laugh out loud. Ron however wasn't as lucky and got hit in the back of the head by Snape. That's how Scarlett fell out of her chair cackling like a mad woman.

She had lost 15 house points and gained four detentions. So in her opinion it was a nice enough of a morning.

Harry had started to talk to her more often along with Ron. Hermione had been civil since they don't get along that well.

The four now sat at breakfast together every day and walk to class together if they have the same.

Harry had told her about the dursleys and how his cousin was an idiot. In return she had told him about the previous pranks she pulled over the summer. The two had become friends in such a short time it was like they and always known each other.

"Hey harry" she greeted walk looping their arms together. Successfully making him blush. " I love potions" she sighed dreamily.

He fixed his glasses looking at her." You do realise what he did to you for laughing right". It was like no matter what happened she never seemed to care. She would just let it roll of her shoulders and move on.

Harry envied her for it. She never had to worry about anything and was always carefree. While he had to worry about everything constantly. Being the chosen one and all.

" pfff like it matters. Besides it was worth it , god I wish I could see it again"

Harry chuckled at her."must be nice" he mused quietly. Scarlett heard him though.

"What's nice".

" to not have to worry about anything" harry answered without thinking. Its just....nothing matters to you".

She stopped walking making him turn to look at her. She crossed her arms in front for her chest." What the hell does that mean" she said defensively.

"Scarlett I just meant tha-"

"What, that I don't have my own shit to deal with to. News flash harry I do. I might not show it or like to broad cast it like you".

" what's that mean"

"Just because your the chosen one doesn't mean your the only one with problems harry".

" really cuz I've known you for over a month and from what I see you don't care about anything".

Scarlett glared up at him. Rage was practically seeping out of her. She took a step closed to him. " you don't now anything about me. Don't act like you do. She glared at him even harder now."fuck you harry " she seethed before walking off making sure to bumb her shoulder into Harry's as she passed.

***********

"What did you do" Ron asked as he saw harry in the common room that evening. He had spent all of dinner looking for Scarlett who didn't show.

Harry sighed " I had a fight with Scarlett " he looked up to see him friend.

Hermione's ears perked up at the news." What was it about " she asked puzzled ,putting her book down on the table. Ron moved to sit next to harry on the couch.

"I-i said that she doesn't care about anything and that nothing matters to her" he confessed not looking away from the fire.

"What the FUCK harry. What the hell were you bloody thinking , you can't just saw that to her of all people. Don't you know anything about her family" Ron screeched looking at harry in disbelief.

"Absolutely , are you crazy" Hermione agreed , hitting harry in the arm with her book."ouch Hermione that hurt"

"Good I hope it did".

Harry looks between his two friends." I didn't mean to OK , it just slipped out. I didn't know she would act the way she did".

"How do you not know about her family. The amount of shit she has to deal with is unimaginable. I don't know how she does it" Ron praised.

"Well what's so bad about them then , cuz she never looks anything but carefree".

" their not good people harry" Hermione explained slowly. She hesitates for a second before continuing. She leans in closer so that only they can hear." Her parents are avid supporter of You-Know-Who. There some of his most faithful followers".
