Chapter 6 – Hair to the wind

After leaving the library, Harry and Draco walked huddled under the Invisibility Cloak.
\"Spending the whole day sneaking around Hogsmeade under a cloak is really quite romantic,\" said Draco with an acidic tone.
\"I knew you\'d love it,\" said Harry, earning a look of incredulity from Draco. \"But we don\'t have to stay under the cloak all the time\", he said, making Draco stop walking.
\"You do know what \"sneaking\" means, don\'t you? Sneaking - to walk stealthily, away from the sight and knowledge of others,\" he cited, as if explaining an extremely complex concept to a three-year old child.
\"I hadn\'t thought about that,\" confessed Harry, holding Draco\'s hand. \"So we can stay right here, since everybody is going to the village\". He pulled Draco to his body, circling her waist.
\"It\'s a p-probability\", she agreed, feeling her temperature rise sharply.
\"We can go to my room,\" Harry suggested in Draco\'s ear.
\"I don\'t know which type of girl you hang out with, but I\'m not one of those,\" said Draco, her face deep pink.
\"We\'ll be studying, Belle,\" said Harry laughing.
\"I knew that, I was just checking,\" she retorted embarrassed. \"But anyway, it\'s not a good idea to walk into enemy terri – \" A kiss interrupted her. \"Where did you say the Tower was?\"
\"Keep the cloak and grab your stuff. Meet me at the stairs by the end of the Transfiguration room hallway in 15 minutes\", said Harry, coming out from under the cloak.
After saying their goodbyes quickly, each one went to their respective common room.
\"Password?\" asked the Fat Lady to the Boy-Who-Survived.
\"I love Snape\", answered Harry.
\"Child, I seriously doubt that\", said the portrait, as it opened the entrance.
Harry startled when he went inside the Gryffindor common room, unprepared as he was to what he saw.
\"What on earth are you people doing here?\" he asked sharply, making everybody turn their heads at him.
\"Err.. We belong to this house, Harry\", answered Neville, intimidated.
\"I mean, shouldn\'t you guys be in Hogsmeade?\" he said, trying not to stutter.
\"We\'ll leave in about an hour, Harry\", said Ron, not talking his eyes off the chessboard in front of him. \"Check mate, Mione.\"
\"How?\" asked Hermione, looking at the chessboard.
\"Aren\'t you going to get ready?\" asked Ron, seeing his friend come closer.
\"Three rounds, Ronald Weasley\", challenged Hermione with a homicidal look. \"Oh, hi, Harry. Successful search?\"
\"Yeah, you could say so, Mione. And no, Ron. I think I\'ll pass. But don\'t forget to bring me a Butterbeer\", he said, as a tender redness coveris cis cheeks.
\"Pawn to D3,” Ron ordered the chessboard. \"But weren\'t you the one who was so eager to go out?\"
\"Change of plans,\" murmured Harry with a grin.
\"Pawn to H5,\" ordered Hermione. \"Harry knows what he\'s doing, Ron. Most of the time,\" she added.
\"King\'s bishop to F4,\" said Ron. \"I still think you should go with us, Harry.\"
\"Pawn to A6,\" said Hermione. \"Maybe he\'s got better things to do, Ron\", she pondered, giving Ron a meaningful look.
\"Queen to C3\", said Ron. \"What can be better than hanging out with his friends?\"
\"Pawn to F6\", growled Hermione. \"So does this mean you don\'t believe there\'s anything better to do than this? Thank you so much for where I\'m concerned\", she said, making Harry laugh and Ron\'s eyes grow wide.
\"Queen to C7. Check mate, Mione\", he said, with a weak smile. \"Why didn\'t you say you wanted to take your girl here to make out in the first place?\"
\"Er... because we\'re going to study\", explained Harry, blushing deeply.
\"I know... study anatomy, that\'s more like it\", retorted Ron giggling. \"And when am I going to have the pleasure of meeting your beloved Isabelle?
\"Er... You sort of already know her...\" said Harry, realizing he had made a fatal mistake in saying so when Hermione mumbled something unintelligible and slapped herself in the forehead.
\"Are you all right?\" asked Ron, intrigued by his friend\'s reaction.
\"I don\'t believe that I lost again\", said Hermione, with a weak smile, looking straight at Harry.
\"Er... It was nice talking to you, but I got things to do\", said Harry, as he walked towards the Fat Lady\'s portrait.
\"What\'s with him?\" said Ron, thinking aloud.
After the slip that almost gave away his secret, Harry ran from his common room, intent on avoiding more questions and literally ran towards the corridor of the Transfiguration Room, when he noticed he was late.
\"Belle?” he called in a small voice. \"Are you there?” he asked opening up the Transfiguration classroom\'s door.
\"Looking for someone, Harry?” a voice asked behind him, making him stumble as he turned.
\"Yes... Something like that?\", he said, straightening himself. \"Lost around here, Cho?\"
\"I was going to ask you the same thing\", said Cho smiling. \"Aren\'t you going to Hogsmeade?\"
\"No, I got to find my... kitty. Yes, I got to find my pretty kitty\", said Harry, looking at his arm when he felt an invisible hand grabbing it. \"But something tells me she\'s not too far from here\", he said, finally facing the girl with black hair in front of him.
\"Pity. I was going to ask you to come with me\", confessed Cho, getting closer to Harry. \"Ouch!” she yelled, crouching and putting her hand over her leg. \"Something hit my leg\", she complained.
\"Must have been my kitty\", lied Harry quickly. \"See? She went that way\", he pointed towards the door. \"See you later\", he said, feeling his arm being pulled to the hallway.
Before Harry noticed it, he was being pushed inside one of the classrooms, that was obviously empty, since it was Saturday, looking at the blonde girl with wild hair that mumble a spell at the door.
\"Right, now no one will hear us\", said Draco, turning to Harry a s a smile on her lips and her hair down again.
\"What was that with your hair?” asked Harry frightened.
\"What was what with my hair?” asked Draco back, confused.
\"It was flying... but there was no wind\", said Harry.
\"Are you feeling well?” asked Draco, concerned, touching Harry\'s face.
\"I feel better now,\" he said. \"I came to tell you... They\'re running late and they are still at the Tower.\"
\"Yes, I noticed. Crabbe and Goyle are still at the dungeons when I came in\", said Draco, sitting on the teacher\'s desk. \"I think they\'ll leave in about half and hour\", she said, looking down.
\"That was what Ron said\", said Harry, as he walked to the desk, standing next to Draco. \"You didn\'t have to attack Cho, Belle\", he said, raising her face with gentleness.
\"She deserved it\", said Draco between her teeth and with her eyes burning like fire.
\"She didn\'t do anything\", started Harry, but when Draco\'s hair started rising again, he changed his mind and added, \"too horrible. But let\'s not waste our time talking about that when we got so much better things to do\", he said, with an inviting smile and closing his lips on his girlfriend\'s.
Harry and Draco spent some more time in the classroom, enjoying each other\'s company and exchanging kisses until they finally decided to check if the rest of the studentd god gone. After Draco gathered her books and covered herself with the Invisibility Cloak, they went to Gryffindor Tower.
\"Stay close to me\", alerted Harry as they went towards the Fat Lady\'s portrait.
\"Shouldn\'t you be at Hogsmeade, child?” asked the portrait.
\"I love Snape!” said Harry, making Draco muffle a laugh using his hands as the portrait opened a passage.
\"What an idiotic password\", commented Draco in a whisper, but she stopped as Harry made a gesture.
\"VOLDEMORT IS INVADING HOGWARTS!” he yelled at the top of his lungs right in the middle of the common room. \"Yes, I guess there\'s no one in here.
\"Merde! Qu\'est-ce que tu fais bordel?\", complained Draco.
\"Hun? I don\'t understand a word!\"
\"I asked what the hell do you think you\'re doing! – Draco flared.
\"Ah, I was just making sure there wasn\'t anyone in here\", Harry shrugged. \"Hum, now I know why you talk funny\", he said, climbing the stairway to the boys\' dorm.
\"I do not!” retorted Draco, following Harry as he opened the door.
\"Run! Save yourselves! Voldemort is here\", said Harry, sticking his head inside the dorm.
\"Arrête ça!” asked Draco.
\"Hum? Stop that, Belle. I can\'t understand a word you\'re saying!” Harry complained.
\"Sorry. Sometimes it slips. I asked you to stop saying that\", mumbled Draco, taking off the cloak and throwing it on the bed.
\"I will if you stop talking in Italian\", said Harry, reaching for Draco.
\"Done\", said Draco, squeezing his boyfriend\'s hand. \"Bête\", he said, laughing.
\"You have no word\", complained Harry, taking the books and putting them on his bed.
\"Of course I have. I said was going to stop talking in Italian. I didn\'t say I was going to stop talking French\", he finished with an innocent smile.
\"You\'re evil, Belle\", Harry laughed as he embraced Draco. \"Now tell me. Why do you like so much speaking French?\"
\"It\'s not that I like doing it. It\'s just natural\", said Draco, a bit embarrassed.
\"Like a second language?” asked Harry.
\"Actually, French is my first language\", she corrected and seeing that Harry was confused, she explained. \"I was born in France, and I lived there until a short time before I came to Hogwarts\", she said, examining some of the books and placing them on the floor.
\"I thought you have always lived around here\", said Harry aloud, as he walked near the bed. Suddenly a noise from the door startled him, making him stumble on the books near the bed and falling on top of Draco on the bed.
\"I can see you guys are studying a lot\", said Ron, as he craned his neck, trying to peek at the girl, but it was useless, since Harry\'s body blocked almost everything, except for the arms and legs. \"I just came for my robes, and I\'ll be on my way\", he said, coming to his bed, which was next to Harry\'s and opening his trunk. \"There you go! Er... Nice to meet you, Isabelle, and Harry, don\'t do anything I wouldn\'t, OK?” he said, before leaving, closing the door behind him.
\"Va en enfer!” yelled Draco, after getting rid of Harry and throwing a thick book at the closed door of the dorm.
\"Nice shot\", said Harry, picking up the book Draco had thrown. \"You\'re lucky Hermione didn\'t see that\", he said, still holding the thick book, which pages fell to the floor. \"She will kill when she hears what you\'ve done with one the library\'s precious books.\"
\"Not if Madam Pince kills me first\", said Draco, with a weak smile.
After the small mishap, Draco and Harry finally started to study. Without realizing it, they spent the rest of the afternoon studying the ingredients, making and effects of the Polyjuice Potion, and talking about the events that made Harry trespass the dungeons, posing as Goyle, in his second year.
\"I think I better go now. It\'s almost dinner time, and they should be coming back\", said Draco, checking the time in his wristwatch.
\"Can we meet later, at the Astronomy room?\"
\"Can\'t do it tonight. I promised I\'d revise History of Magic with Vince and Greg\", said Draco. \"But we can meet tomorrow\", the girl suggested with a sweet smile.
\"You really like them, don\'t you?” asked Harry angrily as he took his Invisibility Cloak.
\"Jealous, Potter?” laughed Draco, as Harry held her.
\"But without the special effects\", he said, covering both of them with the cloak. \"It\'s disturbing to watch hair flowing without wind and burning eyes\", he commented as they stepped outside the dorm.
