Heartbreak (Addie x Harry)

Requested by accio_chips . They had some very cool and specific plot ideas that I shortened a bit but followed as closely as I could.

"You're all showing loads of improvement. Keep practicing the wand movements over Christmas break and you'll be set." Harry, my boyfriend and the one teaching the group, grins.

With that, the DA meeting comes to an end and everyone slowly shuffles out of the room of requirement in small groups. My friend June pulls me out of the room by my shoulder, wanting to hurry back to the common room and get cozy around the fireplace. We've just reached Gryffindor tower when I realize that I've forgotten my bag in the room of requirement.

"You go ahead, I'll just pop back in and grab it. I'll meet you in the common room." I tell June, pushing her ahead of me with a yawn.

I turn around and head back to the room of requirement, pacing in front of the wall where the entrance is hidden and thinking about how I need to grab my bag from the DA room. The  large double doors slowly appear and I open the door to look around for my bag and I catch sight of Harry and Cho kissing under the mistletoe. For a moment, I'm frozen in shock but then anger bubbles up in my throat and I bite down on the inside of my cheek.

I walk into the room and sling my bag over my shoulder before silently hurrying back out and shutting the door behind me without even bothering to look back. I find myself sprinting down the corridor and by the time I reach Gryffindor tower, I have tears streaming down my face.

"What's wrong, Addie?" June asks as she catches sight of me. 

"Harry," That's all I'm able to choke out before June pulls me into a corner of the common room where we're less likely to be overheard.

She pats my shoulder gently and encourages me to take deep breaths to calm down. I do as she says and wipe my tears away.

"What happened?" June whispers cautiously after I've caught my breath.

"When I went back to grab my bag I found Harry snogging Cho Chang." I reply, my voice breaking halfway through the sentence.

"What did you do?" June asks, her eyes widening.

"I left." I answer simply.

"You left him there with her?" June asks incredulously, her jaw dropping.

"She can have him, I don't care." I shake my head but inside I'm trying to convince myself that what I've said is true.

"It seems like you care to me. Do you want me to beat him up for you?" June asks, completely seriously.

"No, I can take care of it." I say. Though honestly I'd rather let her deal with Harry while I lock myself up in my dorm.

"Well, speak of the devil." Whispers June, looking past me as Harry returns to the common room.

"I have to talk to him." I realize with a sigh. June nods beside me.

"I'm here for you if you need my help." She says sympathetically.

"Thank you." I whisper, taking a moment to catch my breath before walking over to Harry.

"And seriously, let me know if you want me to hex him." June says. I find myself nodding as I approach my boyfriend, feeling as though I'm floating.

"So what took you so long to come back, Harry?" I ask quietly, appearing from behind him and making him jump slightly.

"Addie, you scared me." He chuckles in reply, leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead. I frown. "I was just held back a bit answering questions."

"Really? Because I could have sworn I saw you kissing Cho." I shrug, trying to keep my voice calm and casual.

"Oh Merlin." Harry mumbles, stepping away from me slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to mention that because it was so awkward. I swear she initiated it and it was only because we had landed under the mistletoe while talking."

"You know," I start, my voice growing more quiet with every word, "it's called the room of requirement for a reason. It gives the user what they feel they desperately need. Please, lets just make this easier on ourselves and break up now because you obviously need Cho."

Harry doesn't get another word in as I march straight up to my dorm the moment I finish speaking. I hear June's footsteps behind me and pull the curtains closed around my bed before she reaches me.

In the Department of Mysteries

The pressure from the wand that's pressed into my neck suddenly disappears as members of the order of the phoenix appear in the middle of the room. Chaos erupts in a matter of seconds and soon curses fill the air, and I have to duck so that I'm not hit as well. I see Harry and Neville struggling to hold onto the prophecy and watch in what feels like slo motion as the foggy crystal ball slips from Neville's hands as he climbs the stairs and falls to the stone floor where it smashes and releases the foggy substance trapped within.

I catch sight of a burst of green light speeding past the side of my head and my eyes widen. I drop to the ground and begin to search for my wand that was taken from me, finding it a short distance away from where I was held back by a deatheater moments ago. As I get back on my feet I throw a curse at a masked deatheater that tries to kill June.

Turning around, my eyes land on Belletrix Lestrange who raises her wand and mumbles something under her breath before aiming her wand at Sirius Black who is a few steps in front of me beside the veil with Harry. Before I have time to think about my actions, I'm sprinting to push Sirius out of the way of her curse but I don't move fast enough. The last thing I see is Harry, then my vision fades and I feel like I'm floating again, the sound of Harry screaming my name ringing through my ears.
