Never Thought I Would Fall For You Pt 2 (A Hogwarts Love Story)

Chapter 55 - Breaking the Rules

Isabelle's POV
"Do we seriously have to have to this? They won't listen. I'm a nutter, remember." Harry said.
"Look Harry. Just try. I rather have a friend who will teach me other than Umbridge." Ron said.
"Thanks, Ron." Harry said.

"I'm here for you, mate." Ron said.

I walked up to Erika and leaned into her ear.
"You think this is going to work?" I asked, whispering.
"I hope. But let's see what happens, araji?" she replied.

I smiled and nodded.

~Few Moments Later~

"Um....hi." Said Hermione, nervously.
"You know why you're all here. We need a teacher...a proper teacher that can actually teach us how to defend ourselves." She said.

"Why?" Asked the Hufflepuff boy.
"Why? Cause you-know-who is back, you tospot." Said Ron.

"So he say."
"So Dumbledore says." Said Hermione.

"So Dumbledore says because what he said. Then where's the proof" Said the Hufflepuff boy.
I turned to Harry. He was looking down.

"Perhaps, Potter can tell us about Isabelle Lee got tortured and fainted. And how did Diggory got killed.."

I tensed at that. Remembering the pain.

Harry stood up.

"I'm not here to talk about Belle's torture and how she fainted. Or about Cedric. Perhaps you should clear out now."

Then he whispered to Hermione.

"Come on, Hermione. These people will think I'm a freak."
He was about to go until....

"Is it true that you can produce a Patronus Charm?" It was Luna who asked.

Harry was speechless.
"Yes. I've seen it." Hermione replied.

"Blimey, Harry. I didn't know you could do that." said Dean.

"And the sword, in Dumbledore's Office. He went into the Chamber of Secrets to save Erika." said Neville.
"That's true." said Ginny.

"Third year, he beat hundreds of Denmentors at once." Said Ron.

"Last year, Harry did fought against You-Know-Who into flesh. And Belle really did passed out of the Cruicatus Curse...and now...she's afriad of it." said Hermione.

"This is all great and all, but that was all just luck." said Harry.
"He's just being modest." Erika said.

"No, Erika. I'm not." Harry said.
"Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake you can just try again tomorrow, but out there, when you're a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die or getting tortured right before your eyes... you don't know what that's like." Harry added.

Then sat down, beside Erika.

"You're right, Harry. We don't. That's why we need your help. Because if we're having any chance against beating... Voldemort." Said Hermione.

"He's really back." said Nigel.
Harry slightly nodded.

Belle cleared her throat and held a piece of parchment paper.

"Okay, I brought a piece of parchment. You can come up and sign your name here if you want to learn." Belle said.
"But, you can leave, if you're not interested." I added.

And one by one, everyone formed a line and signed their names.

Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
Hermione Granger
Erika Lee
Isabelle Lee
Fred Weasley
George Weasley
Dean Thomas
Ginny Weasley
Neville Longbottom
Cho Chang
Lukas Jackson

Erika's POV
Great! The plan went well. As the students sign their names, I caught Harry staring at me.
I smiled at him, and he smiled back, a little.

I leaned into his ear and whispered....

"Told you they would listen."

"So, we need to have a name of our group." Hermione said.
"I think I have one. But only in initials though." Belle said.

"Well, what is it, Belle?" Ron asked.
"The D.A." she replied.

"Hm...sounds really good. But what does it stand for?" Hermione asked.
"I haven't gotten that far yet." Belle mumbled.

"Dessert Alley?" George suggested.
"What kind of name is that, Georgie?" Fred asked, while he chuckled.
"I don't know. It has a 'D' and a 'A'." George replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"How about...." I trailed off.

"DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY!" Belle and I said together in sync.

~At the bridge~
"First we've got to find a place to practice where Umbridge won't find out. " said Harry.
"The Sheirking Shack?" Ginny suggested.
"It's too small." Harry said.
"The Forbidden Forest?" Said Hermione.
"Not bloody likely." Said Ron.
"That's crazy!" I said.
"I mean, it's pretty exciting, isn't it? Breaking the rules." Said Hermione.
"Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?" Ron said.
"Have you been drinking something, Hermione?" Belle asked. m

Hermione just giggled.

"Anyway, at least we know one positive thing that came from today." Hermione said.
"And what's that?" Asked Harry.

Hermione looked at Harry for some reason.
"Your cheeks are red, Harry." she said.

Harry's eyes widen at that. And I noticed Belle was smirking at me.
I nudged her shoulder, telling her to get rid of the smirk.


Isabelle's POV ~That night~
"One more time, Belle." Draco urged me.

I nodded and held my hand out. I slowly got a little closer to my hand and it connected.
I kind of feel the pain a little. But then, I felt something very warm.

Realizing that, Draco's was hold my hands.
"You can do it, Belle." he said.

I nodded.

Then he stepped back and pulled out his own wand.

"What's this about?" I asked.
"Try casting a spell at me." he replied.

"What? I--I can't do that." I uttered.
"You can, Belle. Just try." he said.

I nodded and took a deep breathe.

"STUPEFY!"

The spell that I send him...he blocked it.

"Did you feel any pain?" he asked.
"No, I didn't." I replied.

Draco then gave me a smile.

"You're holding your wand again." he said.
I looked down at my hand, seeing my wand. I can't believe it....

I...did it! I got the strength to do it!

"I did it." I muttered.
"You did it!" Draco said, smiling.

"I did it! I did it!" I said.

"You did it!" Draco said.

I was too happy. So I jumped into Draco's arms and he spun me around.
"You did it!"

He set me down as I pulled away.
All of a sudden...he kissed me on the lips.

I didn't know why...but I kissed him back.

We both pulled away and was shocked. I was VERY shocked.

"Sorry." I said.

Draco didn't say anything.

Then I heard footsteps coming from up here.
Draco dragged me to the corner and we hid.

Flitch was on duty tonight.

He look around and left with Mrs. Norris.

Draco and I sighed out of relief.

We both looked at each other and pulled away once more.

"Thanks for everything." I said.
"You're welcome. I'm more welcome to help you out anytime." he said.

I nod my head.

"Come on, I'll escort you to the Gryffindor Tower." he said.
"Ani, I'll go by myself." I said.

Draco arched his brow at me.
"Okay, I'll just escort you anyway." he said.

"But...." I trailed off.

Draco sighed and pinched my cheeks softly.

"No buts. I'm a prefect, remember." he said.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Prefect my butt." I mumbled.

"I heard that." he said.
