That morning Harry woke up nervous. He turned to his side to see that Ron was already out of bed, that mean's he already was at the great hall, or he was in the common room. Well Harry was about to find out. He put on his uniform and went down stair's. He did spot Ron talking with Hermione, but there was no Ginny in sight. Harry let out the breath he was holding and walked in to the common room where he was spotted by his friend's. as Ron walked up to him he though he was getting another punch, but what he didn't expect was for Ron to put his hand on his shoulder. Harry looked up to see a smiling Ron "Hey Harry, im really sorry for punching you, but i think you would of done the same if someone insulted your sister. I talked a bit with Hermione and she told me everything about my sister i didn't know. Again sorry-" as soon as Ron finished Harry hugged his best friend, who hugged him back. "Aww" Harry heard Hermione say behind Ron "Yeah, it is pretty adorable" Now Harry let go of Ron and looked up, to see that Unina has joined Hermione's side. Harry smiled at the two female's and went to hug Hermione, she knew why. "And i don't get a hug huh?" Unina said jokingly, extending her hand's for a hug. Harry laughed and hugged the shorter female. "Come on guy's. were wasting time, the food will get cold!" Ron ushered the three. "No, not the food!" Unina said, fear in her voice. She took Ron's hand and the two bolted out to the great hall. Hermione and Harry laughed as they too exited the common room. As Hermione and Harry talked together, out of the coner of his eye he cought sight of Amelia, looking gloomy as always "Hey Mione mind if i excuse my self?" Harry asked the curly haired girl. Hermione spotted the black haired female and nodded "Go cheer her up" Harry thanked her and made his way to Amelia, who was walking really slowly to no where. Of course Harry knew that some Slytherin's were staring and judging him, but then again when don't they do that, so Harry paid no mind to them and finally reached Amelia. "Hey Ame" the girl giggled and turned to look at Harry, with a very tired expression "I see we have become so close that your giving me a nickname" Harry smiled at her and slowed down to walk the same pace as her "Well yeah, aren't we friend's after all?" She looked at him confused "We are?" Harry cringed at her expression. He never saw someone so confused to just hear that they have a friend. Harry smiled at her and put an arm around her shoulder "Of course" Then he went to whispering "What happened? You can tell me" the girl sighed and turned to the boy "Not now, not here. Meet me in the library at 8pm. Then i will have my mind figured out" Harry nodded, said goodbye and made his way to the Transfiguration class, which he had with Slytherin's. Wonderful. When he got to the classroom, he took a seat next to Ron and pretended to listen to the teacher, since he didn't really like the class, until the teacher assigned partner's from the other class. So here was he sitting with Ruby, while a glaring Malfoy sat behind them with a Gryfindor girl. Since they had to discus how something work's, the teacher let the student's talk. But like hell did Harry talk about the subject "Is your brother always so possessive? He has been glaring at me for the whole lesson" Harry said without even turning around to look at the blonde boy. Ruby giggled "Nope. and i don't think he's glaring at you for getting paired with me" Harry looked at her curious "What?" Ruby just shook her head and started to draw something, leaving a confused Harry. 'What did she mean by that. Draco never glared at me for any other-WAIT WHAT? Did i just call Malfoy by name. God im going insane' Harry put his head down and waited for the bell to ring, and when it finally did he and his friend's went out. While Ron and Hermione were arguing in the front Unina and Harry started to talk "I have just found a juice secret about my brother" Harry turned to her with interest "Spill the bean's sis" He said sassy. Unina giggled and leaned in a bit so no one else would hear "So you remember the time he froze up at the sight of our dear friend Ruby?" Harry nodded "Well i found out that he has got a crush on the Slytherin" she said excited. Harry looked at her with a blank stare "Really" she nodded, bouncing next to the boy "Im happy that Cedric has a crush, but love at first sight doesn't exist" Unina gasped at put a hand on her heart "Im offended" Harry shook his head, a smile on his face. Out of the coner of his eye he saw Ruby and Malfoy talking. Malfoy turned to look at Harry, who was already looking at him. Draco sneered, which earned him a pinch from his sister. Harry chuckled and turned away from the sibling's, not noticing the Slytherin prince's slight smile.
After Harry's classes were done he and his friend's made their way back to their common room. Harry went to the dorm room he shared with his other friend's. But he probably walked in on the wrong time, since when he walked in he saw Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan on his lap, snogging. Harry has suspected they had a thing for each other, but he didn't want to find out like this. He cought which earned the attention of the two male's, who looked pretty terrified "Harry this-" Dean started, but Harry just walked into the room to grab a change of clothe's. When he was about to enter the bathroom Dean called after him "Your not grossed out?" Harry smiled and turned to the two male's "No" He simply answered as he went to the bathroom. When he exited the bathroom he saw the two men cuddling. He smiled at them and went to the common room. Before he could get out he was stopped by Unina "Where are you going?" "Im just off to talk to Amelia" With that she nodded and Harry was on his way. When he reached the library he searched for the black hair girl. He found her sitting on a chair, looking out the window, the chair in front of her open. Amelia only noticed Harry when he sat down. She sighed and looked down on her lap "Do you really want to know?" she looked up at Harry "Yes i do. I know we have known each other for only a day, but i can keep secret's. And it will be better if you talk it out." She smiled and nodded, looking down again "Well as you know my father is Snape, but he never act's like a father. All of my life up until now i was alone, caring for myself. The only time he was there for me was when i got really sick. He was in love with this woman, and when she died he just became so cold, I knew he married mother just so he could have someone carry out the Snape name, but when he got a daughter he got so disappointed that he kicked out mother. Since mother thought it was my fault she left me to live with him. I thought it was gonna be all fine, but soon i found out that he never cared, and never will" By the end of her story she was crying silent tear's. Harry got up from his chair and hugged the crying girl, who hugged him back with all her might, finding comfort. "I know your father never was there, but now that your here there will be people who will care for you like a family does" She looked up at Harry and hugged him tighter "Thank you" Was her only reply, but Harry was okay with that. After a couple of minute's the teen calmed down and let go of Harry "Wow. I never cried this much" She said as she wiped her tear's away. Harry smiled at the girl, walking her out of the library "You will be okay?" she nodded and the two separated way's.
As Harry was walking back he hit a walking figure. Desperate not to fall he grabbed the figure, but that only made them both fall. Harry hit the ground hard, while the person above was cushioned. Harry hissed out of pain as the figure rose up a bit "Well that's what you get Potter for not looking where your going" Harry opened his eyes to see the blonde that he hate's the most. Harry groaned "Your such an ass" Draco smirked "so was i told" The two boy's looked at each other and froze. Harry's cheek's began to turn pink when he finally registered the position he and Draco were in "G-get of Malfoy" Harry stuttered as he pushed Draco away. The Malfoy smirked and got up, not helping the now in pain Harry "Thank's for the help Jackass" Harry said with sarcasm. Draco smirked again "Your welcome" Harry groaned and was about to walk away, when an idea popped in his head. It was stupid, but worth it. Harry turned to look at the still smirking Draco and smirked himself, walking closer to the boy. Draco was beginning to get nervous so he began to walk back, but not getting very far since he hit the wall. When Harry was close enough he got up in Draco's face and whispered "Im very thankful~" then he got away and started to walk back to his common room, leaving Draco standing against the wall. Blushing, and with a racing heart.
