Chapter 16
Anna's POV
I looked around for Harry, and found him talking to Reeve. I went over to them.
"Hey guys!" I said coming over.
"Hi Anna," Harry said. Reeve started looking back and forth between me and Harry, and then stared at him as if they were talking telepatchically.
"Um, can I talk to you for a second Harry?" I said awkwardly.
"Sure. I'll talk to you later Reeve."
"Okay, and don't worry, I'll figure something out," Reeve said and walked away. What was she talking about? (By the way, Reeve is referring to the plan for Harry to get Anna back)
"What was that about?"
"Nothing. Now, are you going to tell me how you won the tournament?" he asked. I sighed.
"Yes, but not here."
"Why-"
"Just come with me," I cut him off. We walked to the Black Lake at sat at the edge.
"Now will you tell me?"
"Yes..."
"Well, talk."
"Okay, so in the Black family, about every 300 years, someone is born with a mix of special powers. I was one of the Blacks who was."
"I still really don't know what that has to do with-"
"That's how I won the task."
"What powers do you have?"
"I can control the elements, communicate with animals, am stronger than the average person, and I can use wandless magic. I talked Norbert into giving me the egg," I explained.
"And you asked him to give you a ride too?"
"No, I was forced into that..."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Harry, these powers people would kill for. It might not seem like it, but they are very powerful. If Voldemort found out I had them..." I trailed off.
"Oh..."
"Promise you won't tell anyone."
"I promise."
"Okay, thanks. Now, what were you and Reeve talking about?"
"Nothing."
"It didn't seem like nothing. Are you two going out?" I asked and he looked at me like I was crazy.
"No! Why would you think that?!"
"Just asking... Can you please tell me?"
"No."
"Pleeeaaassseee?!" I begged.
"Nope," he said and started walking off.
"Aw, come on! Tell me what you two were talking about!"
"Anna?" a voice asked. I spun around and saw Draco. Ugh, you have got to be kidding me...
"What do you want Malfoy?!"
"Harry, just stop, I can handle this. I'll meet you in the common room."
"But-"
"Go, now," I said sternly and he left, knowing there was no use in arguing. I turned to Draco after he was gone.
"Well, what did you come here to say?"
"I'm sorry, I just can't tell you, you would hate me..."
"No I wouldn't, now just tell me what's so damn important!"
"Anna-"
"Tell me, or I'm done talking to you," I said stubbornly, crossing my arms. He sighed.
"Fine. I just think that someone put your name in for a reason. I think they might be working with Voldemort."
"Who do you think did it?"
"I don't know, but-"
"I swear, if it was your father, I'm going to-"
"No, it wasn't him. Well, I don't think so... It was probably someone here, maybe Voldemort has a spy," he said. I studied his face closely to see if I could find any signs that he was lying.
"It's not you, is it?"
"No!"
"Then why did you say that I would hate you?"
"Because...I don't even know... I was trying to get out of it?"
"Fine, I know you aren't telling me the truth. I'll just drop it. And I can just figure out who it is, and how to survive this tournament myself."
"Wait, so are you still mad?"
"A little. But I don't care anymore... I don't want to die holding a grudge-"
"Wait, why are you taking about death?"
"Draco, you know I might not survive the tournament-"
"Don't talk like that!"
"Wow, you sure are crazy today..."
"I...I just don't know what I would do if I lost you," he said shakily. I rolled my eyes and gave him a hug.
"Aww, you actually have a heart, the legends that say you have a heart and a soul are true!"
"Oh shut it."
"Nope, I'm good, ferret," I said and snickered. He glared at me.
"Why can't you just forget about the whole ferret thing?"
"Because it's hilarious! No offense, but you deserved it..."
"Why?"
"Because you can be a real douche sometimes."
"What about Harry?"
"He still can be, but he's not as bad as you."
"Wow thanks," he said sarcastically and glared at me. I chuckled.
"Well I really need to get back to the common room before the prefects catch me."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Are you um...you know...back together with Harry?"
"Um...no...why do you ask?"
"You were down here with him, I was assuming you were on a weird date or something?"
"Well, I'm not..."
"Are you actually happy with Cedric?" He asked, I looked at him.
"Why do you care?"
"I was just curious..."
"Well, who do you think I should be with?"
"I don't really know?"
"Yes you do. You have to have an opinion on this, tell me."
"Ugh fine... I hate to admit it, but you're better with Potter... Diggory is bound to break your heart, and Weasel-Bee-"
"Wait, why are you including Ron in this?"
"Because he likes you?"
"No he doesn't."
"You must be blind, he looks at you like a lovesick puppy along with a bunch of other guys do..." He said, irritated. Wait, lots of guys actually liked me? Wait, RON like me? No way, he's lying.
"Ha, funny joke. I really need to get going. See you tomorrow!" I said and started walking back.
"It's not a joke...but whatever... See you tomorrow," he said and I went to the common room, trying to process the conversation I had with Draco. He likes me and Harry better? Well, I guess that's saying something... But why would Cedric break my heart? Well, a lot of girls do fawn over him... But still... Well, I don't even know. Great, now I'm starting to have doubts... Stupid Draco...
"Anna, are you okay?" Harry asked behind me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Um, yeah, I'm fine..."
"What happened with Malfoy?"
"We made up."
"Why do you even put up with him?"
"Because he's my idiot cousin and I'm stuck with him," I said and we both laughed.
"You don't have to be stuck with him though."
"Aw, come on, he's not that bad. There's a different side to him," I explained, but Harry rolled his eyes. I wish that he could just understand that Draco really isn't that bad. Then, something (probably a spell) made me fall, but Harry caught me in his arms. I looked up into his emerald green eyes and my heart jumped. And I could tell his heart jumped too when he looked into my eyes.
"A..are you okay?"
"Yeah. Um...I'm fine..." I trailed off, standing up. I could feel a blush painting it's way across my face. Oh no...I refused to believe it, but I think I was falling in love with him again...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey readers! I know all you "Hanna" shippers out there liked that last part... I am so conflicted, I honestly don't know who Anna will end up with. I like her and Cedric, but I like her and Harry too. I even like Anna and Ron together too. WHY IS THIS SUCH A HARD CHOICE! Ugh, my head hurts from trying to decide... Anyways, I hope you like these chapters and books, because I know that I loved writing them. And I hope that you vote, comment, follow, and just keep reading! :)
