Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 11 - 'LOVE SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING'

CHAPTER 11

Cassandra and Harry had talked late into the night whilst she comforted him and he confided in her. They had fallen asleep resting on one another on the common room couch in front of the fire. Both were lent back on the couch, Cassandra's head resting on Harry’s shoulder and her right hand resting on his quidditch toned chest, Harry’s head rested on hers with his right arm around her holding her. Unknown to them Dobby had been the house elf in charge of cleaning the common room and he had placed a blanket over their legs. The sun began to pour through the small gap in the curtains which made Cassandra stir slightly, she realised she was cuddled up against someone; her mind automatically assumed that it was Draco. It took her a moment to realise there was no way for Draco to be in her common room. She opened her eyes and realised it was Harry.

Noticing him stirring she shut her eyes quickly. Harry took a deep breath and let out a sigh as he lifted his head off hers. He realised that he had been holding Cassandra as he slept. To her surprise he didn’t move away or try to wake her, he sat there looking at the fireplace thinking. After a moment he looked at her again and rested his head near hers, she felt his chest rise slightly as he noticed the smell of her shampoo. It smelt of a mixture of flowers that Harry didn’t know the names of. Before he realised what he was doing he lent forward and let his lips brush softly against her forehead. Cassandra took this as her cue to wake up.

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes slowly. She blinked a couple of times then looked at Harry. "Morning," she whispered "Oh Harry I’m so sorry" she said sitting up a little and taking her hand off his chest. "I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you" she said looking a little worried. Harry smiled "Its ok really" he said giving her a reassuring smile. "I think I should go get changed before anyone wakes up" she said moving forward slightly on the couch which allowed Harry to move his arm away from her. As she got up she looked at him, "Harry..." she said quietly and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. "Did you kiss me when I was asleep?" she asked quietly. Harry’s cheeks began to feel warmer, "Sorry..." he muttered looking at her. "Thanks" she said after a moment’s silence. She smiled at him and made her way to her dorm.

Once there she grabbed some clothes from her trunk and changed quickly in the en-suite bathroom. Grateful it was a Saturday she changed into jeans and a weird sisters t-shirt. As she placed her clothes back into her trunk Hermione woke up. "Hey, you ok? I didn’t hear you come in last night,” Hermione said as she got up. "Oh I got in late, had to help Hagrid catch a Niffler,” she said with a small smile. "Did you hear about Ron?" she asked curiously as she got out of bed and over to her own trunk. "Yeah, Harry told me all about it, I hope he is ok, Harry mentioned Ginny crying, is she alright?" Cassandra asked her smile had disappeared at her question. "I’m sure they will be fine, Ginny was in shock more than anything else” she said with a small smile. Cassandra took out her school bag and left in her transfiguration book, quill, ink and parchment. She took the Bertie Botts beans from her other bag and placed them in her school bag. "I'll see you later" she said with a smile.

She had a peaceful breakfast Hermione had joined her for a little while then had gone to finish an assignment then would visit Ron; Harry had joined her for the rest of breakfast. When they entered the Great Hall an angry Ginny ran over to them. "You!" she said looking at Cassandra. "Me?" she asked confused. "Yeah you! You had something to do with this I know you did!" Ginny said angrily. Harry stood in front of Cassandra, "Cassandra had nothing to do with it" This just made Ginny angrier. "If she had nothing to do with it then where was she after dinner, where was she when Ron got attacked?" she asked glaring at Cassandra. "I was with Hagrid, I wanted to apologise for missing his lesson, ask him if you don’t believe me, I had to catch a Niffler for him. Also how dare you accuse me of hurting Ron! He has been nothing but kind towards me since I arrived here" Cassandra said using her best acting, small tears had begun to form in her eyes. "Pansy is the person you should be having a go at not me" she said quietly, her voice a mere whisper.

Harry looked at Cassandra. A small tear escaped her eye and fell slowly down her cheek. "Cassandra..." he whispered. "Excuse me, sorry Harry..." she replied as she ran off up the stairs. She ran down a corridor and made her way to the hospital wing. She wiped away her tears but continued to look upset even though she didn’t feel it what so ever. Once there she noticed Ron sitting upright in a bed in front of a window. She smiled a little as she walked over to him "How are you doing?" she asked as she stood by his bed. "Oh I’m alright, Madam Pomfrey recons I should be out tomorrow" he said smiling. "That’s good news, I brought you something" she said with a smile. She handed him the Bertie Botts Beans from her bag. "Thanks" he said with a smile as she gave them to him.

They spoke for an hour before Cassandra left. She went to the library to complete her transfiguration essay. She sat herself down at the back of the library, hidden away by a number of bookshelves. "Hey..." Draco said with a smirk as he noticed Cassandra and walked over to her. Cassandra smiled at him "You did well" she whispered.
