Chapter 13- The Whomping Willow

"You musn't tell Ron where I am going!" Blair put her cloak on.

"Blair, do you really have to do this? I hate being apart of your stupid lies and secrets," Lorraine told her.

"Yes, but if you don't then Harry and I will never be able to be together. And I will hate you forever. Talk about guilt on a conscience..There's too many consequences, okay?"

"There's too many to risk if you carry on like this! Just think Blair, if Ron found out."

"Yes, but he won't! And besides, you owe me! I didn't tell Harry my name in the first place! Following your advice in the first place is causing me to lie right now!" Blair raised her eyebrows and left Lorraine to herself.

Blair waited a few minutes by the infamous tree alone before she heard footsteps behind her. She turned to find Harry climb out of a hole in the ground.

"There's an underground tunnel from the castle apparently leading to here. Ron's older brothers showed me it a few years back." Harry sat down next to her.


"Comes in handy I see," Blair turned to look at Haryy and found her face inches from his. Suddenly they were leaning towards each other and at the last minute, Blair jumped up and backed up, laughing nervously.

"So why'd you come?" Blair asked, changing the subject.

"Me? The real question is why did you come? I thought I made it clear, that it's without you," Harry said truthfully. He had gotten up too, and watched the tree.

"Well, I didn't want to stand you up. It wouldn't be very lady like, now would it?" Blair picked up a flower and played with it.

"Yeah, but the way you kissd me was far from lady-like," Harry said walking towards her.

"I think the way I kiss is perfectly fine!" Blair said, defending herself.

"Prove it." Blair kissed him with all her might, and Harry let out a sigh inside him. He could finally breathe again.

Ron looked up from his book when he was sitting up on the staircase. Lorraine was trying her hardest to avoid his eyes, but it wasn't working.

"Hey Lorraine," Ron caught her elbow. "Have you seen Blair? She wasn't at dinner, I thought- well I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
