Consequences [D.M]

CHAPTER 10

Harry immediately made his way to the Room of Requirement after the short talk with Y/n as he's realizing that he's late for few minutes for the meeting. As he entered, the others are already waiting for him.

"Where have you been?" Hermione asked. "I'm just having a small talk with Y/n." He explains. "What is it about?" the golden curled hair girl asks. "I'm about to tell you guys but we need to gather first." Harry replied. The girl nods curtly and begin to gathering all of the member.

"Okay, I'm sorry for being late today. But, never mind about that. I have something important to tell and please listen carefully." Harry exclaims as the others are getting their attentions at him.

"Someone just told me that Umbridge has started being suspicious about our activity. She might call out for some students to asks about this. So, as for everyone, if one of us happened to be called by Umbridge to her office. I warned all of you not to drink or eat anything that she offered." He speaks firmly.

"And why is that?" someone asked. "You don't want to spill the tea, don't you?" Harry repeats the same words that Y/n gave him few minutes ago. All of the students nods their head curtly, getting the point at what Harry told them just now. "Okay, back to practice. Make sure you master the spells we learnt yesterday." Harry instructed as they started to practicing.

"Is that what Y/n told you about?" Hermione and Ron approached him. "Yes, she did warn me about that." Harry hummed. "I feel bad for not telling her this." Hermione sighs as Ron agrees. "But, we can't really trust her. We know what her father is." Harry says.

"We do know but she might be different. We are her friend we should trust her. I believe that she has nothing to do with the Dark Lord." Ron exclaims.

"She seems a bit distancing this few days unlike the other day where she used to chase for us and tried to hang out with us. Now, she's all by herself. She's not even sit with us at the Great Hall. She'll rather sit at the Ravenclaw table with Luna or joining the younger Gryffindor. You realize that don't you?" Hermione sighed. The two boys nod heavily.

"Yesterday, Professor Flitwick told me about the conversation he had with Y/n and she knows that we're keeping something from her. She's completely disappointed with us." Hermione tells them.

"How about we make it up to her? I mean, this weekend. Let's brings her to Hogsmeade together. We never been there together with her ever since she's back." Ron suggests. Harry still in silent.

"Harry, please. Just give her a chance, okay? She's still our friend." Hermione pleaded. "I want to but it's so hard. I'm just can't accept the fact that her father is one of the Voldemort's followers." Harry sighed. "I know that Y/n is wise enough to choose the right side." Ron says as Hermione agrees with him. "I hope so." Harry nods heavily.

A few days later, what Y/n told him is happening as a few Dumbledore Army are being called to Umbridge's office and they told him what happened in the office. Y/n is right, the old witch did offers them to drink a cup of tea.

Luckily, they're still remembering what Harry told them few days ago about not accepting the offer. Somehow, Harry feel grateful at what Y/n told him.

Now, as he entered the Great Hall, his eyes wondered around as she founded the girl is sitting at the Ravenclaw table while having conversations with some Ravenclaw's students. Yes, she has grown some bonds with those students as she's always hanging out with Jeremy lately and getting close with his housemates too other than Luna. Harry decided to approached her.

The girl is busily talking with the others and somehow laughs at each other jokes. "Y/n." Harry finally have the audacity to call her. She immediately turns her head to the voice owner as she heard her name is being called.

"Oh, hi, Harry." She smiles softly. 'How could she still give me that soft smile even though I'm being hard to her' Harry thoughts by himself. "Can I have a word with you?" Harry requested. "Sure, why not?" she nods and waits for him to say what he wanted.

"Anywhere with less crowd?" Harry says awkwardly. "Oh, I see. Let's go then." She understands. "Sure." Harry agrees. She collected her books and sling her bag on her shoulder. "Guys, I'll be going now." She told her friends. "See you later, Y/n." They nod. She hummed as she and Harry made their way out of the Great Hall.

Harry leads them to their house common room. After muttering the password, they entered the common room. Fortunately, there are some students in there and they seemed to be busy studying and doing their own works.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Y/n asked and takes her seat on a couch. "Thank you for warning me about what is Umbridge up to and about the not to drink or eat anything she offered." Harry says awkwardly. "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just helping." She smiles kindly.

"But, it did help really well." Harry says. "I'm glad that you hear what I say or else you'll get caught." Y/n smiles. "You did know?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows.

"Next time, please be careful. Luckily, I'm the one who found this." Y/n takes out the parchment that she found and handed it to Harry. "So, for all this time, you knew?" Harry asks.

"Not until I found that name list. At first, I thought that it's some sort of games you play or just a useless name list. But, then, Umbridge told me about her suspicious of your organization. It popped up in my mind and I figure it out." Y/n explains calmly.

"I'm glad, you help." Harry smiles awkwardly. "It's nothing. I just think that this is the right thing to do and your purpose on making Dumbledore Army is good. I'm glad to help." Y/n says kindly.

"Promise me that you won't tell anyone about it." Harry requested. "Sure, I'll keep that promise." She nods. "And I hope you and the others are doing very well. I'll be always glad to help is anything else happened." Y/n continues.

"You know that I don't trust you but you're still doing this." Harry says. "Harry, a friend would never give up on their friend even though they doubted them. And, I'm that friend, Harry. I will not give up until you trust me. You're still and always be my friend." Y/n smiles softly and leaving.

A sudden feel of guilt covered him. "Maybe, she did deserve a chance to prove herself." He thoughts silently.
