Late May came around, and we were all ready to leave Hogwarts. Harry was seeing Dumbledore almost every week, and would come back to us and tell us what was happening. It was really interesting, but one night he sat down with us.

"Tom Riddle's diary in the Chamber of Secrets was a Horcrux," he said.

"Hmm?" I asked him. I gave him a funny look.

"Tom Riddle's diary in the Chamber of Secrets was a Horcrux," he repeated, slowly. I looked at him for a few seconds.

"So you mean to say that part of Voldemort is already dead?" I sum it up.

"Yes, exactly. Dumbledore thinks he has a lead on another one, too. That's where he's been going."

"That's great." I smiled and pretended to be happy for him. The extra homework from Snape was driving me crazy, and I had a major headache from mixing a potion wrong. Oops!

He gave me a funny look, as if he knew my stress. I shrugged, and sighed. Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my comfy chair and dragged me out of the common room.

"Hey!" I shouted, then started giggling. "Where are you taking me?!" After we ran down a flight of stairs, I stopped moving.

"Hey," I said, and stopped giggling with a smile plastered on my face. "Where are we going?"

"To have some fun! You keep raining on my parade."

"Rubbish! I do not!" I started giggling, and gave up. He pulled me further every which way until we reached the painting with the pear. I tickled the pear, it wiggled and giggled, and the painting opened up. The house elves appeared, scurrying around and whatnot. Dobby appeared in front of us, and bowed. 

"Master Harry! Mistress Lexa!" We smiled.

"Do you have and chocolate dessert left?" I asked.

"Of course! Dobby will do anything for his Master and Mistress!"

"Thank you." I gave him a sweet smile and he sent another little house elf to get the food.

They returned seconds later with two parfait glasses filled to the brim with chocolate mousse. Topped was whipping cream and slices of chocolate.  

"Thanks, Dobby!" Harry said, and we exited the kitchen with our parfait glasses.

We sat down by the Black Lake and splashed our bare feet in the cold water while licking our glasses clean. I leaned back and sighed, belly full. My head was laying against Harry's shoulder and I was dozing off.  

"Hey," Harry said. "Don't fall asleep on me." I smiled, and kissed him on the cheek. He kissed me back, and we both leaned forward. I stopped and opened my eyes as I saw a flash of black robes through the trees. Harry's eyes shot open, and looked at me.  

"Are you okay?" he asked, and turned around.

"I think somebody's watching us, Harry," I told him.  

"Who would be watching us?"

"I-I don't know..." I stuttered. I couldn't tell him about the dinner! I swore to Dumbledore I wouldn't!

"Is there something you need to tell me?" Harry asked sternly.

"No," I lied.

"Are you sure?" I nodded, and swallowed the frog in my throat. I just lied to him, how could I have? "Okay, let's just go back then if you think someone's here."  

We were back in the common room, and a little boy came in, carrying a roll of parchment. He walked up to us, and handed Harry the parchment. I looked at it.

"It's from Dumbledore.." The little boy explained. 

"Thank you." Harry told him. The boy left, and Harry unrolled the letter. It read:

Harry, 

Please meet me in my office as soon as possible.

I re-read it and looked up at Harry.  

"What does he want?" I asked. Harry shrugged.

"I'm gonna go. I'll see you later." He kissed me on the cheek and stood up.

"Wait, Harry wait!" I stood up as he was walking out. I needed to tell him, I didn't have a choice!

"I need to go, Dumbledore wanted me to come now. I'm sorry."

"No, please I have to talk to you!" I shouted as he exited the door. He shut the door. It was useless.

I started crying.
