(Year 7) "Harry?" I stepped into the light. Harry smiled at me. "Hey Claire" he hugged me and stepped back to face his friends. We were all there. Me, Hermione, Ron, Fleur, Bill Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Mad-Eye Moody, Fred, George, Mudungus Fletcher, Tonks, Lupin, Kingsley, and Hagrid. The tension was deep, since Harry was dating Ginny now. "Claire who are you supposed to ride with?"asked Harry. I laughed, "I ride alone" I said. Showing Harry three thestrals, he looked at me. "Be safe alright?" "We're not dating Harry" the words got stuck in my throat. "You don't have to worry about me." I added, I looked away and climbed onto the thestral. "You can see it right?"checked Harry. "Dumbledore" I whispered, and gave him a faint smile before the thestrals took off. I arrived earlier then everyone else to the Weasleys. Ginny rushed outside to see who had arrived. "Harry!?"she stopped. "Claire." "Ginny." Everyone soon arrived, Harry was last. He looked tired and seemed like he was going to collapse. "Claire...Neville wants to talk to you." I went into the living room, where Neville's patronus pounced around the room. "Neville?" "Claire...hi!"he exclaimed, seeming extra nervous. "You perfected the spell!" "Yeah...it was easy"he said, letting out a sigh. "Hey Claire" Harry came in, and saw me talking to a silver reindeer. "Harry...I'm trying to talk to Neville" I said calmly. That seemed to strike Harry in the gut. He left the room, quickly I could hear him in the kitchen though. "Neville?" "Yeah, uh Claire" "Yeah Neville??" "Do you want to go out with me?" There was a crash in the kitchen "Harry!" I thought. "Sure...It would be nice to have a little cheerfulness" I said. "Bye Claire...talk again?" I let out a small laugh. "Course..."the reindeer disappeared and Harry entered. I turned on him sternly. "Why did you listen onto my conversation?" I snapped. Ginny came to Harry's side. "Why are you picking on Harry. Your just angry because we're going out. Keep your temper Claire" she threatened. "No...he listened to my conversation. And he heard Neville ask me out." Ginny looked at Harry wide eyes. "Come on Harry lets go upstairs" she said, swiftly turning her back on me. I rolled my eyes. "Little girl" I thought angrily. I found out about the wedding and Mad-Eye the next morning. I was eating breakfast, when Arthur came in bickering about Fred's ear and Mad-Eye's death. To make matters worse, Dumbledore's will "arrived." He gave me a photo book. The one he worked on when I was younger. It had a leather cover, the front had a picture of me when I was a baby with him. I stifled out a laugh as tears fell. Hermione was interested with her present...a book. And Ron was impressed, with whatever he got. Harry seemed depressed, considering himself Dumbledore's favorite student. All he got was his first snitch, and seemed even more depressed, when he couldn't get the Gryffindor sword. Dumbledore had kindly given it to Harry in his will. The wedding was approaching, thirty minutes. I got into my dress, it was almost as elegant as Fleur's. I pulled Neville into a hug. "Hey Neville" I said, smiling. Halfway through the wedding...chaos. There was deatheaters everywhere, one guy almost killed me and Neville served him right. I held Neville's hands, as Harry desperately called my name. I kissed Neville. "Don't die and be safe" I said, he nodded. Before I raced off, just as they disapperated. We appeared in a alley, and took turns changing before going to the sidewalks. "What took so long?"asked Harry. "I was saying bye to Neville" I said. Harry rolled his eyes. "Guys!" Hermione snapped, we headed into the nearest shop. Having not eaten anything at the wedding yet.
Spells were everywhere, I got Dolohov. "Pays him right" I thought, and ducked as a spell zoomed over my head. Harry fiercely hit the other man in the chest. He slumped and fell behind the counter. I blushed, he still had feelings for me.
