Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy - Sahits

“You thought you could get yourself to forget the other girl?” He nodded, ashamed. “It’s allright, Harry. Do you mind--do you mind if I ask you if it’s Ginny Weasley?”His jaw dropped. “How’d you know?”She laughed. “Well, you said it isn’t Hermione, so I thought about other girls in Gryffindor--since that seemed most obvious--and Ginny’s really the only logical choice. Once I thoughtabout it, I don’t know why I didn’t see it before.”Harry was the one to lean against the door now. “Yeah, well, she’s with Malfoy. I mean--Draco. There’s no hope for me.”Katie frowned. “No hope at all? She’s said so?”“As good as. She wants to be with him. I have to get over her. It’s just--”“I know.”“--really difficult--”They were both silent. Then Katie laced her fingers through his and said quietly, “Let’s go.”They didn’t speak in the car. Harry stared out at the night, the houses and other buildingspassing by. When they’d reached Little Whinging and were going by the park, Harry saw thelarge white tent, looking dark and empty. The second show of the evening must be over, hethought. Then he had another thought.“Katie,” he said suddenly, “do you have your wand with you?”“Yeah. It’s in my purse. Why?”“Can you drive back to the park? There’s something I want to find out about.”She used a private drive to turn the car around and soon they were back at the park. They gotout of the car and Harry started walking purposefully across the grass. Katie followed him. Hestopped outside the cloth building.“What’s all this about, Harry?”“Can I--can I use your wand? Please? It’s not bad, honestly. And I’ll be seventeen in a fewweeks. I just need to know--something.”She frowned, but then took her wand from her purse and handed it to him. The tent entrancewas zippered shut; he opened it carefully, wincing at the noise the plastic zipper made as itmoved. He stepped into the tent and she started to follow, but he said to her, “You’d betterstay out there, keep watch, say something if it looks like someone’s coming, all right?”“I thought you said you weren’t doing anything bad!” she hissed.“I’m not. I’m finding out whether anyone else is doing something bad.”40
