Chapter 5

Two weeks had passed and Harry was still not talking to Alicia. He had ended up talking to Ron and Jamie the night before and they had made him realise how childish he was being. He has apologized to Hermione but still hadn't seen Alicia.

'Desperate times call for desperate measures...' Harry thought as he fell onto his camp bed. "Jamie? You seen Alicia anywhere?" He asked as he turned to look at Jamie.

"Nope... Haven't seen her all day actually... Why?" Jamie said as he continued hunting round the room for one of Ron's missing chess pieces.

"I need to speak to her abou-" Harry cut his sentence short and grabbed his head in pain.

"Harry? Harry, you okay?" When Harry shook his head, Jamie started panicking. "Oh... Okay... Wait here... ALICIA! ALICIA, WHERE ARE YOU?" He shouted as he ran out the room and down the stairs.

As Jamie's footsteps disappeared, Harry sat up and shot his head straight back down again as footsteps echoed up to him.

"Harry? What is it?" Alicia's voice was worried as she shut the door on them. "Is it him?"

As Harry heard the click of the door, he sat up quickly, causing Alicia to step back slightly.

"I'm sorry" Harry said as he stared at Alicia's worried face framed by green curls.

Alicia looked back with a blank expression until it clicked.

"Harry James Potter! You little- Is that it? I'm sorry? Ooh... You deserve to be cursed right now!" Alicia said as she hit him on the arm.

"Alicia! Don't! OW! Stop! I'm sorry! OW!" Harry said as she continued to hit him. "OW! JAMIE! OW! Alicia!" Harry repeated as he turned to the door.

"Yeah... ALICIA! Stop, stop, stop!" Jamie said as he ran into the room and tried to get her off Harry.

"Ooh... I hate you! I thought it was him and you was faking it all along! And you!" She said as she turned on Jamie. "You called me up here!"

"Yes I called you up here but I swear I didn't know he was faking!" Jamie said quickly, raising his hands as she pointed a finger at him.


After a long silence and a couple of hugs, Alicia had calmed down and forgiven Harry.

"Your such a wimp Jamie..." Ron laughed as Harry finished telling him what happened. "I can't believe you were scared of Alicia... I mean..." Ron changed his tone quickly as Alicia threw him a look.

This caused Harry and Jamie to start laughing and Ginny to roll her eyes.

"You were saying..." Jamie said as he calmed down and looked at Ron, who watching Alicia out the corner of his eye, causing Jamie to laugh again.

"Anyone for Quidditch?" Ginny asked and Ron threw her a grateful look. Smiling, Ginny looked round the room before leaving. "Hey, has anyone seen Hermione?"

-----------------------------------

Hermione was sitting in the kitchen talking to Alicia when Jamie came down looking for her.

"Alicia! Did you not hear me shouting? Never mind!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her up as she went to answer.

"OW! Jamie! Whats wro-" She began, trying to free herself from Jamie's vice- like grip on her wrist.

"Harry's scar... Ron's room" Jamie said and Alicia rushed past him and up the stairs.

Hermione watched as Alicia and Jamie went out of sight.

'I hope Harry's okay...' She thought as she heard a knock on the door.

"It's open..." She said, thinking it was Ron again. Hearing two sets of feet, she turned around and froze.

"Y- Y- Y- You!" She stuttered as she slowly stood up and faced the unexpected visitors.
