Hogwarts Love Triangle

Chapter 5: Friends?

Loren POV

I went my seperate ways from Draco to go see my grandfather, because if anyone can help me alter a spell it's him since he is the greatest wizard of all time. As I got to the Griffin statue that protected his office and said the password to open his office low enough so no one could hear what it was I climbed the steps to his office. I got to the top and heard voices, it sounded like Harry and my grandfather were in the middle of a conversation so I sat on the chair outside of the office. In a few minutes Harry walked out and jumped slightly scared, not knowing I was there.
"Oh sorry Harry I didn't mean to scare you," I said standing up.

"It's fine, I was actually going to go look for you anyway," he replied blushing.

"Oh well looks like you found me," I laughed, "So what did you need?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hangout by the Black Lake after dinner," he asked nervously.

"I would love that," I smiled.

"Great see you then," he replied as he turned and left.

I knocked on grandpa's office door and went in once he said it was alright

"Hey, Pops," I smiled as I plopped down on a chair and took a lemon drop from the bowl.

"Loren it's great to see you," He smiled, "What's the occasion?"

"I'm hurt I can't just visit my Pops without it being an occasion?" I gasped with a hurt face.

"Loren I have known you all your life you don't just visit without wanting something even when you don't know you want something," He sighed.

"I guess your right, sorry Pops," I replied, "I was wondering if you could help me fix up a spell to fit certain requirements."

"Well what spell are we speaking of and what requirements?" he asked.

"The Legilimency spell and I want to be able to pick and choose what thoughts I want them to see and be able to cast it non-verbally," I replied shyly.

"Is this for you and Mr. Malfoy," he chuckled.

"Wha-what n-no it's no-not," I stuttered.

"Don't worry, I have nothing against Mr. Malfoy I just ask you be careful," he smiled.

"Thanks Pops, so does this mean you'll help?" I smiled.

"Yes but you better get going your next class will start soon, I will have your answer at dinner," he said while standing, "I will have a piece of parchment with instructions then."

"Thank you, thank you!" I rejoiced giving him a hug, "Love you Pops"

"Love you too Loren, now hurry you don't want to be late," he replied. With that I left and went to my next class Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall. I raced down the stairs and ran to the Transfiguration classroom but when I stopped paying attention I ran into a wall, which turned out to be Draco, and we both fell backwards onto the floor.

"Ouch now your going and knocking me over Lor," he teased.

"I am so sorry Draco, I wasn't paying attention," I apologized as I stood up and helped Draco up also.

"It's fine Lor," he replied, "Neither of us died or are severely injured."

"Your right," I sighed, " OH and before I forget my Pops agreed to help with the spell he'll have it ready at dinner."

"Oh that's fantastic, well let's hurry before we are late for class."

~~~Time Skip to Dinner~~~

Draco's POV

I walked with Loren from our last of the day, Herbology, she was going on and on about her family. As I listened, and her face light up at all of the memories of her family events. She was so happy and looked more gorgeous than ever, the way her eyes shone with the love for her family, or the way she laughed at the distant memories. 'No Draco you can't like her, your family will never approve plus she's a Dumbledore. They'll like her even less for that, but I mean how could you not like her'

"Draco, are you listening to me?" She questioned.

"Hmm what?" I asked.

"Oh never mind, but I'll be back, I'm going to talk to my Pops," she said a little annoyed.

"Oh okay well I'll save you a seat," I replied, "and I'm sorry for zoning out on you." She nodded and skipped up to the teacher's table. She chatted with the Headmaster then grabbed the parchment and skipped over to me.

"So he figured it out?" I asked.

"Well of course he did," she laughed, "He's Albus Dumbledore after all."

"I guess your right well do you want to practice after dinner?" I asked turning back to my plate.

"I was actually going to hang out with some other friends, but after that we can practice. I promise," she replied.

"You are leaving me by my lonesome?" I asked fake hurt, "Why are cheating on me with other friends I don't know about?"

"Of course not Draco, you know you can't be replaced," she laughed, "so don't be so dramatic, alright?"

"Okay, okay I believe you, but I want you home by 8," I said in a very dad tone.

"Alright 'Father'" she replied emphasis on father.

"Now young lady don't give me that tone or you won't be going anywhere tonight," I replied.

"Yessir," she sniggered. I laughed with her then went back to eating.

~~~Time Skip to Black Lake~~~

Harry's POV

I was sitting by the Black Lake waiting for Loren, I have been trying to figure out a way to stop her from hanging out from Draco anymore but they seem to be best friends by now. All I know is that nothing good will come from their friendship, she will get hurt and I don't want that happening to her. Suddenly I heard rustling and looked up Loren just left the castle was walking towards me with a big smile on her face. Man was it gorgeous the way it lit up her whole face and made her eyes sparkle even brighter.
"Hey Harry," she said as she sat down next to me.
"Hey Loren," I smiled, "how are you?"
"I'm good," she answered, "How about you?"
"I'm good," I replied skimming rocks across the calm lake. For the next few minutes we sat in an awkward silence not knowing what to say, I finally broke it by asking, "Why do you hang out with Malfoy?"
"Draco?" She asked very confused on why I asked her that.
"Yeah him," I tried to keep the hate out of my voice but I failed terribly.
"Well first off no need to get angry, secondly he's really nice and caring, he knows what makes me laugh, and he understands my thoughts and interests," she replied with a smile.
"Nice!? You think he's nice and caring!? How blind are you!? He is the complete opposite of all of that you have no idea!" I shouted.
"What..." she whispered almost as if she was scared of me, "he is not he is as I said he is and you can't change my mind just because you don't like him and no need to make him out to be a arse because we all know who the real arse is here Mr. Potter!" And with that she stormed off crying. 'Oh. No. No. No. What have I done?' I thought 'I shouldn't have said anything, I just ruined everything. She's going to hate me forever. And I made her cry maybe I am an arse and not Draco at least he doesn't make her cry

To be continued....
