year 2
siting at the window again, seems like a hobby at this point.
fire, one thing i always thought about after that past memory of me and my older brother.
just, studying up about the weird vision i had, it must have been a childhood memory.
i wouldn't stop thinking about my brother though, how it's been so long since i've seen him, and my father, i think everyone would call me crazy for over analyzing a dream, but it just felt way to real.
i sighed, closing the book that was resting in my lap, i rested my chin on my palm as i stared at the frost coated window, the snow piling up on the ground.
tomorrow was my last day as a second year, which means i don't get to see my friends until next year, nor do i get too be in the library.
i heard footsteps slowly walking towards me, i turned around and met eyes with Harry.
oh gosh.
"hey" he shyly whispered, sitting next too me.
not this again.
"hi" i hummed back.
don't embarrass yourself like last time Clementine.
i cringed.
"this is what you choose to do on your second to last day of being at Hogwarts" he chuckled softly.
i nodded.
honestly i felt weird hanging out with Harry, mainly because i knew he didn't like me the way i liked him.
"yeah, it's my favorite place" i sighed.
"are you okay?" Harry asked me.
why is everyone asking me that, he asked me that last time.
"i'm- im fine" i reassured him, not making eye contact as he stared at me.
"oh- okay" he looked out the window.
i looked over at him for a split second before looking back out the window.
i should go before i embarrass myself.
i stood up and looked into Harry's eyes.
"i'm gonna- i'm gonna go find Sage and Hallie"
i smiled at him.
he nodded, i quickly sped walk out of the library.
Hallies pov
"it's his eyes Hallie the warm brown"
Sage mumbled, going on and on about the chocolate eyes.
"can u stop talking about Fred for at least, once?" i raised a eyebrow.
she rolled her eyes.
"and his hair- oh my-" she trailed off.
"Sage- shut up" i joked.
she frowned jokingly.
"don't even get me started on-"
"stop." i stood up from the table, grabbing my books and walking off.
"Hallie, do you know where Sage is?" Fred asked, tapping my shoulder.
i turned to face him and pointed over at Sage.
he smiled and walked towards her.
she smiled at him and obviously blushed, i could tell from a mile away.
i turned around and walked off.
"hey! Hallie- Hallie-" i heard behind me, and footsteps quickly approaching.
i turned around, Clementine leaned over, catching her breath.
"hey Clemen" i smiled.
she stood up straight, a confused look.
"where is Sage?" she asked, looking around.
"with her boyfriend" i smirked.
"wait- boyfriend?!" Clementine panicked.
i burst into laughter.
"no- no- Clemen- i'm joking" i reassured her.
she nodded, letting out a little laugh.
"they aren't actually dating" i smirked.
"yet.." i said finishing my sentence.
Clementine scoffed, a smile pulling on her lips.
"anyways- did you need me and Sage?" i asked her.
"no- well kind of- yes... but if Sage is spending time with Fred..."
"what happened with Harry?" i raised a brow, knowing it was all about Harry obviously.
she sighed, slouching her body in relief.
"well- i think it's super awkward between us" she looked to the side.
i nodded.
"is it because you have a crush on him?" i asked.
"no it's- it's a different type of awkward... and i don't want to come back to Hogwarts with everything being awkward" she stared at her shoes.
"why do you think it's awkward" i asked her.
she hummed.
"i- i don't know" she rubbed her neck awkwardly.
i nodded.
"okay well.. why don't you talk to him about how you feel.." i offered.
she perked up, staring at me with wide eyes, face all red.
"why would i do that?!" she panicked.
i almost laughed.
"listen- i'm just saying it might make things better" i smiled.
"might?! what if it doesn't- and it makes things soooo awkward" she dragged out her words.
"it was just a option" i smiled.
"now i'm gonna get back to Sage before she starts endlessly blushing and she starts complaining to us about about how embarrassing it is" i turned around.
"your a life saver" Clementine smirked, joking
"think about it Clemen" i recommend, walking back over to Sage and Fred.
Clementines pov
"think about it Clemen" she told me, walking off.
i stared at the floor.
why would i tell Harry how i feel, i would only just get rejected.
i shook the thoughts from my head once i decided to rush to my bedroom.
once i got to my bed i relaxed onto it, panting heavily from running, i stared at the roof.
i heard soft purs from the floor, i sat up, feeling dizzy as i looked too the floor, rubbing my forehead.
"hi Willow" i whispered, smiling softly as she jumped up onto my bed, she curled up onto my lap her tail slightly pressing against my cheek.
i smiled, running my hand along her brown fur.
she closed her eyes slowly, soft purring that calmed me.
i stared at Willow, just focusing on petting her while she slept.
it ruined the mood once i realized the time.
it was time to get to The Great Hall.
i slowly got up, making sure not to wake Willow.
it was the second to last day at Hogwarts, i knew i couldn't just ignore Harry, it's not that im ignoring him... it's that i feel uncomfortable, and awkward around him.
i honestly need to stop thinking about Harry, im to young to be thinking about boy issues.
at least i'm not Sage, who talks about Fred every time we are together.
the next day.
today was the last day at Hogwarts.
i didn't sleep last night, i was awake with my thoughts.
quickly i got up from bed, surprisingly i had enough energy to get up.
quickly i put on my robes and headed to the library, it was early in the morning and i had to catch a little bit of time with my favorite place.
since this was the last day i tried my best to get to all the books i needed for extra information, not only was i still searching for answers about my eerie dreams, i was also studying up on random things that peaked my interest.
"Clementine!" i heard behind me, from a familiar voice.
i turned around too Hermione leaning in for a hug.
i smiled, hugging her back.
"it's our last day" she mumbled into my shoulder.
i shrugged.
"i know, it's kind of upsetting" i bit my lip.
"i'll miss you" she sighed, pulling from the hug.
"i'll miss you too" tears poked at my eyes, i was going to miss seeing my friends everyday.
"at least we have no exams" i smiled, Hermione laughed.
"anyways, i have more things too do, talk later" she waved.
i smiled, waving her out the door, i continued to study up on different books.
Harry's pov
"are you going to speak to Clementine?" Hermione sat next to me and Ron.
"what..?" i stared at her, oblivious.
she sighed, rolling her eyes.
"why are you two so awkward now" she asked.
i stared at her.
"what- we are not" i furrowed my brows.
Ron stared at me like a hawk.
"what?..." i mumbled.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
i had no clue what they meant, besides maybe Clementine leaving the room when things got awkward?
was it me?... am i the awkward one.
maybe i messed things up..
it would be weird if i said something..
but maybe i should ask whats wrong, fix things up before we all leave tonight, back to London.
"Harry" Hermione said, snapping her fingers in my face, making me flinch back down to reality.
"so will you?" "sorry.. what?" "will you speak to Clementine about things before we all leave" "i'll do it on the train"
"what if it ruins her day?"
"Ron, i think Harry not talking to her ruins her day more then waiting till tonight" Hermione scoffed, grabbing her books and standing from the table.
i looked at Ron.
"she has issues" Ron raised his eyebrows.
"i do not!" Hermione shouted over at Ron, making me snicker.
third person pov
as Clementine read more books,
Harry and Ron spent time together.
Hermione hanging out with the boys.
Sage and Hallie spending time together.
it was getting closer and closer to night time, where the last Feast was and the train ride home to London accrued.
Clementine barely talked to anyone that day, except the times Hermione came to chat a little, and the two girls would fill her in on random drama.
which none of it really interested Clementine as much as random plants and greenery did.
and Boggarts which interested Clementine the most.
Clementine wrote down what interests her the most in a school book, making it her goal to take it back to London, so she can study up for nexts years school year.
even dark magic interested her, but she found barely any books about dark magic.
so she just had to imagine what different things were like.
"Clemen! come on! we have the feast" Clementines friend Sage called for her, at the door of the library.
Clementine stuffed her book into her satchel and put the other books back on the shelves, walking too the door she stood there, staring into the room.
"goodbye my favorite library, i'll see you next year" tears glistening at her waterline.
quickly she snapped from her thoughts and turned to head to the big feast in The Great Hall.
Clementine pov
as i rushed to sit next to my friends my shoulder bumped into someone familiar.
i turned to apologize, until i paused once i stared into his eyes.
"oh- i- hi Harry" i panted heavily, catching my breath.
"hey" he mumbled, a small smile pulled at his lips.
i smiled back, even though things were quite awkward, i didn't want it to be awkward anymore, maybe i should tell him how i actually feel, or maybe next year? or... i could do it on the train back to London.
"i'm gonna go- uh sit down" Harry pointed at his table.
i nodded.
"yeah- um go ahead" i smiled as he walked into the room.
i quickly walked over to my table, mainly to inform Hallie and Sage about what happened.
Sage was talking to Fred, so i pulled her over to our table.
"i'm going to tell Harry on the train" i sat down.
"tell him what?" Hallie confusingly asked.
Sage pouted.
"you mean tell him you have a fat crush on him?" Sage raised a brow.
Hallie looked at her, nudging her side.
"something like that" i groaned.
"me and Fred were having a good conversation until you stole me away" she turned back to look at Fred, with a smile.
"this is one of the last times we will see each other, come on" i shrugged.
"this is also the last time i will see Fred" she crossed her arms.
i rolled my eyes, Hallie stared at me shaking her head in disappointment.
after the feast, i took my bags and we headed onto the train, back to London, i sat in a little booth with Hallie, Sage, Hermione, Harry, and lastly, Ron.
which was kind of squished and loud, but i wanted my last moments of this Hogwarts year to be with my friends, and to be laughing with everyone.
after everything this year, not much happened, besides gaining a crush on probably the most popular student, and making two friends who are more like my siblings then anything.
and my one friend that understands the boys pretty well, Hermione Granger.
i was grateful for many things, as i stared out the window of the train, listening to my friends laughter and conversations, sat next to me was Harry, i wanted to grab his hand and hold it tight, but something stopped me, which was embarrassment.
a felt a nudge from the side, i looked over.
"we are in London" Harry smiled.
i tensed, now was the time i tell Harry i like him, now was the time to gain some confidence.
i swallowed tightly, my throat dry.
as me and Harry were the last ones to step out, obviously after i gave my friends hugs.
i pulled on Harry's arm, he turned to look at me.
"Harry" i stared into his eyes, now was the moment, the time, to admit how i actually felt.
"y- yes?"
"Harry, this is so strange and weird and... i like you, not like friends but- i- like-"
Harry's eyes widened. and before i got to finish my sentence someone came up to us.
"you are the last on the train" he said.
i breathed out heavily, pushing past Harry and walking off the train.
he didn't respond to me...
i had to be overthinking this..
but he didn't reply...
and next year, it will be so extremely awkward.
