Lucius left me after he made sure that I understood the rules and that I should be in my room at night. I walked back into the room with Harry where I told him that everything would work out and that he would be meeting his fathers best friends this year. I made it clear that we could not trust anyone that speaks about Sirius Black. When Harry asked why I told him to trust me that I could not explain more without changing the timeline. 

As the days past with made stops at Quality Quidditch Supplies a few times so that Harry could get a quidditch cleaning kit and others times we would stop by Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. But the day that the Weasley's and Hermione joined us I was happy to see Harry smile but I was angry with Ronald for arguing with Hermione about her cat attacking his pet rat. I felt like I was missing something but I just could not think about it as Ronald just kept placing blame on Hermione.

"Ronald! Enough either hold onto your rat better or I will kill it myself just to hear you stop complaining. Besides, it should be dying soon of natural causes slowing and painful. Why not let the cat give it a quick death?"I said.

"See Ron, I am not the only one that thinks that Crookshanks would be doing your pet rat a favor," replied Hermione.

"How can you two be so cruel to my rat?"

"Ronald, really think about it if you had the choice would want a slow drawn out death that was painful or would you rather have it quick and painless?"I asked him and winked at Harry when I saw him heading down.

"Oh Harry, save me from these two."

Harry laughed and just shook his head not wanting to agree or disagree with either of his friends. Which only made smile at him for being clever.

"Harry, is everything packed?" I asked.

He nodded and then I saw Mr. Weasley heading towards us. So I whispered, "Remember what I told you. Mr. Weasley is coming over to speak to you privately hear him out but remember not everyone knows the truth about that night. They weren't there when it happened I hope to hear the truth from him."

"Miss Malfoy, Harry could I have a word with you?"

"Of course, Sir."

Molly came over and pulled me away from Harry and Authur. She pulled me until we were standing beside Hermione and Ginny. She began asking us questions about our school supplies and if she needed to take us to get them.

"No Mrs. Weasley Harry and I had gathered our things last week."

"Oh, that was good that Harry has not been alone all this time. That was kind of you dear."

I smiled at her it was like she was trying to hard to be nice to me. I knew that she was my godmother but for some reason, she was not acting like it. 

"Mrs. Weasley, have I done something wrong?"

"No dear. Why do you ask?"

"I feel like you are trying to hide something from me." 

"Of course not dear. There is nothing to worry about I just have a lot on my mind with my son Charlie working with dragons. I didn't mean to worry you."

I could tell that she was being truthful but she was still keeping something from me. She has to know who my real father is. I turned to Harry and Arthur and saw that they were joining us now. I could tell something was off about Harry and I decided that it wait until we were alone in his room. With my bad dreams, it just seemed better for me to stay in his room rather than waking him up almost every night when I needed comfort.

When we all ate dinner together we all left our separate ways. Harry and I left towards his room and Hermione went to her room while the Weasley's went to their room on the bottom floor.

"Harry is everything okay?" I asked as I closed the door. 

"What makes you think that something is wrong?"He asked 

"Harry you are answering me with another question. So something has to be wrong. Just tell me."

As I walked over to the bed I noticed him avoiding me again. I sighed and decided to just lay down and look at the ceiling. I felt him join me in the bed but didn't lay down he kept his back towards her. She hated that he was acting like this. 

"Should I go to my own room tonight?"

He stayed silent.

I bit the inside of my cheek and stood up to leave the room and just as I reached the door Harry pulled a little too hard. The next thing I know is that I was turned around and we were kissing. It was one of those accidental ones that were slow pecks. I quickly pulled away and began to apologize to him unsure about what to do. I was with Cedric and I should not have kissed Harry.

"Beth, I should be the one to say sorry. Although I don't really regret you being my first kiss."

I looked at him and smile, "Harry, I don't regret it either but I don't feel right about it only because I feel that you and the Weasley's are hiding something from me."

"You have asked me to trust you that if it was something important about your future visions that you would tell me. So I ask that you trust me about this because you asked me not to believe everything that they tell me about Sirius. Before I tell you about I want to be sure that it is true so that you don't get hurt by it."

I walked over to the thinking about what to say to Harry and when it came to me I sat down.

"You're asking me to wait. You're keeping something from me because you want to be sure that it is true. Harry, my parents have been asking not to ask about my birth parents. Now you're asking me to do the same thing how is this fair?"

Harry stood in front of me holding my face in his hands making me look at him.

"I'm asking you to let me get the true answers so that I can tell you. I don't want to tell you yet only because you asked me not to trust everything that everyone says. Just wait a little while longer."

I nodded and Harry wiped the tears that had began to fall. Harry let me go and sat beside me and held my hand. He was playing with my fingers before he spoke again.

"About what you said after the kiss we shared...was that you saying that you like me?"

You laughed, "Yes, but is that really your question."

He laughed, "Were you telling nicely not yet to being my girlfriend?"

I turned to him with my eyes wide, "Harry, we are only thirteen years old. Would you be okay with being friends with benefits until our fifth year at Hogwarts?" 

"Is this one of those things you can't tell me about?"

I nodded because I wasn't ready to explain to him about my Veela part. We got ready for bed and when I was under the covers he laid on top of them and pulled me into his side.

"I'm going to miss falling asleep in your arms."

"I'll miss it as well. But think of it this way in our fifth year at Hogwarts we can find somewhere to hide everyone else and nap together."

"You do know that Hermione will ruin that idea by having us study together in the library."

"Shh, one can dream that she won't find us."

"Harry!" I said as I leaned on my arm to hit him on his chest with my free hand.

He smiled and looked into my eyes and then my lips, "Can I kiss you?"

Not sure how to answer him I just nodded. He leans up and caught my lips with his slowly testing the waters. Slow pecks before he pulled away from me with a smile on his face.
