Loving Her (Harry Potter Love Story)

chapter 20

"What do you want to be after school" asked Scarlett. She was bored in her dorm so she decided to annoy harry instead. The only problem being that he wouldn't wake up. "Harry" she whispered , finally losing her patients with him and nudging him in the ribs with her elbow.

Harry jumped awake in fright , something had nudged him. He looked around the room hastily. He almost fell out of the bed when he saw Scarlett lying next to him.

"I asked you a question" she reminder , eyes glued to the ceiling.

"W-what are you doing here. How did you even get past the fat lady" harry stuttered.

"Ehh , I got her date with another painting".

" which one"

"The one with the knight in flitwicks classroom"

"Oh good choice"

"Thanks. So are you going to answer my question or what". She turned to look at him for an answer only he was already looking at her. He was always looking at her.

Harry smiled and shook his head in disbelief before lying back down." You do know I was asleep right".

"So what coma patients can hear" Scarlett defended.

"Not me"

"And you wonder why I never visit you in the hospital" she sassed."now answer my question ".

" what was it" harry asked , scratching his head.

"What do you want to be when you leave Hogwarts" she repeated. Turning to look him in the eye she realized something. "You don't know do you".

Harry rolled so that he was lying on his back looking at the ceiling rather than her piercing gaze." No , I -I guess now I never through about it" he confessed.

"Well I can't really say much , well with voldemort on the rise I'd be the same way".

Harry flinched at her choice of words.

" I want to be a mazooligist" Scarlett confessed." I want to work with magical creatures , hardly like my parents will let me though "she snorted.

It was silent after that. Each stuck in their own minds.

" Auror" harry declared finally. "I want to help people"

"Suits you , harry potter the boy who saves people. Has a ring to it doesn't it" said Scarlett.

Harry smiled at her teasing. But he was reminded of Sirius's story when he was young. He was in a similar situation and he left his poisonous family so why doesn't she."Scarlett "he asked gaining her attention " a-about you family " he could see her stiffen when he mentioned them"why don't you leave"he wondered.

Scarlett opened and closed her mouth , not knowing how to answer him."I will"she stated confidently."when the time is right. I just have to be ready first".

"You started planning already , didn't you" harry said.

"I have for a while. I just need the right time. But......I have to be sure they can't be changed........we are family" she answered hesitantly.

"Why my dorm" harry asked trying to change the subject."you could have went anywhere yet you chose here. Why?".

"We're friends. And I suppose I ....trust you....a little" she shrugged as if it was nothing. But harry knew other wise , it was a big thing for her but she didn't want him to know it.

"Are you staying" harry asked.

"Yeah me and stairs aren't exactly friends right now"
