The long night was finally over and Rachel was back to watching over areas around the Academy.

It was not long before she happened to cross paths with Harry.

"Hey there," Harry said.

Rachel smiled and asked,

"How are you? Had a good rest?"

"Yep. How's your hands?" Harry asked the girl as well.

Rachel didn't answer, instead, she showed him her badly burnt hands.

The girl hadn't been able to clean nor bandage her hands because she fell asleep almost immediately last night and she woke up a bit late today too.

"Idiot," Harry said as he took out a Healing Stone and began to slowly heal the girl's hands.

"Thanks," Rachel whispered to him as her hands slowly began to feel a lot better.

This was the start of Harry's and Rachel's secret love towards each other. Although Harry was slowly showing signs that he liked Rachel, the girl just seemed to pretend not to notice it. But deep inside, Rachel was feeling very happy when she was with Harry. And didn't take too long before some truths were exposed.

Rachel happened to be in a game of Truth or Dare, but the game ended so fast that she didn't have the  chance to play, and Harry took the chance to figure out the truth for himself.

"Well, since you didn't get to play, Rachel, Truth or Dare?"

"Hmm..

Truth!" Rachel said.

"Then....

Tell me who you like." Harry asked her.

With the sudden question Rachel began to blush furiously and began to stammer.

"Quit it with the stammering and just answer the question," Harry said with a chuckle.

"Harry," Rachel whispered.

Harry was caught by surprise by the girl's answer and said,

"What did you say?"

And Rachel answered,

"I like you, Harry."
