Jane woke up from an uneasy sleep. She kept on having dreams about how Harry would react to her news. They always ended the same, Harry walking away form her.

:I canââ"Šâ"¢t let this happen! I can't lose him now or ever." Jane thought getting out of bed and walking over to the window :Why didn't I think of this before? He is never going to forgive me.' Jane looked out of her window and gasped. : Why is Harry outside my house at this time of day?"

Harry ran harder and faster than he ever had before. He was determined to figure out what he was going to do. : Maybe I should just tell her that I know next time I see her. No, that wont work, she has to tell me. She did this, not me. Its her news to tell." Harry kept on running, he passed his normal half way point and kept on going. : She can't be happy with not telling me, maybe I should tell her.' He kept running then suddenly can to a stop in front of Jane's house. : I should just knock on the door and tell her I know." Harry began to pace in front of Jane's house trying to think of what he should do. :Maybe she will tell me, maybe she was going to tell me when she is back to normal herself, and not when she is Jane.' Harry smiled to himself and stopped pacing and looked up at the house. : I can't believe she has been here the whole time, I've been missing her so much and she has been there the whole time. She always was a tricky little witch. She is my tricky little witch." Harry continued to smile the turned away from the house and began to make his way back to the Dursleys still thinking of what he was going to do about this new information.

:Why is he smiling? Can he see me? Oh god! What am I going to do?" Jane began to panic. : Is he looking at me? Oh god! No, he can't see me. I need to calm down!" Jane started to breath in and out trying to calm her nerves. : I should just go down there and tell him, get it all over with." Jane kept her breathing steady. : Look at him down there he looks lost and happy at the same time. I don't understand him. Is he smiling now? What is that boy thinking! I wish I could read minds, it would make my life so much easier. I wouldn't be so afraid to tell him everything." Jane let out a deep breath turned around to see Cork jumping on her bed. She let out another breath and turned back to the window to see Harry turn around and begin running back towards the Dursleys.

When Harry got back from his run he finally knew what he was going to do. Harry smiled at his plan. : I hope she doesn't get mad at me, I just don't want to tell her I know ... yet." Harry walked over to the letter he wrote to Hermione yesterday. "Hedwig could you please deliver this to Hermione?" Hedwig cooed and cocked her head to the side. I know you gave this to her yesterday, but she dropped it." Harry tied the letter around her leg and watched her fly out of his window and laughed to himself. "This is going to confuse her" Harry laughed and grabbed his book on Occulmancy and began to read.

Jane walked out of the shower and into her room when he saw Hedwig fly through her room. Jane's heart began to race. " Hedwig, what are you doing here girl?" Hedwig landed on the bed next to Cork and cooed. Jane walked over to the owl and removed the letter from her leg. "Thank you Hedwig. Do you want to stay here awhile? I don't want Harry to think I am so close.

Hedwig cooed and flew over to the perch Jane had sitting on her desk. " Thanks girl, let me get you some water and a treat." Hermione left the room and returned a few minutes later with a bowl of water and some owl treats she had. " Here you are girl." Jane said and set the water and treats down on her desk. Jane turned her attention to the letter. "I wonder what Harry has to say" Jane picked up the letter and began to open it. " What if he figured out who I am? What if the letter says he never wants to see me again! Oh No!" Jane didn't know what to do. "I couldn't bear to not have him in my life! I don't know what I would do." A few small tears began to fall down her checks. Hedwig flew over to Jane and landed next to her and began cooing. Jane began to pet the owl gently. "Oh Hedwig, what am I going to do? I wish I knew what to do." Hedwig began to coo even more, trying her best to tell Jane that it would be all right, and to open the letter. Soon Cork began to make his way next to her putting his head in her lap. Jane smiled " Well you to seam to think it will be okay, maybe I should just open the letter." Jane let out a deep sigh and finished opening the letter.

Hermione-

Harry

Jane smiled "Oh thank god! He is just returning the letter I sent him a few days ago." Jane let out a long sigh. "I need to calm down." Hedwig cooed and Cork let out a soft bark. Jane smiled. " You guys are right I shouldn't worry about this. I just have to act like I have been. I will deal with this later." Jane got off of her bed and made her way to her desk to write Harry a reply.

Harry-

Hermione

Jane smiled at the letter and sealed it, and set it on her desk when she heard a small knock at her door.

"Jane dear are you awake?"

"Yes, mum, come in"

Her mum entered the room. "How are you dear? I know things cannot be easy for you."

Jane smiled at her mum. "I am doing okay. I dropped a letter that he sent me yesterday, but I don't think he will figure out what is going on. Hopefully he will just think that Hedwig dropped it" Jane looked down at the owl and stroked the top of her head.

"I got a letter from your headmaster this morning."

"Really? Is everything all right?"

"Yes, dear it is. Professor Dumbeldore and McGonagall think it would be best if you left early. They don't think you should be, well I am not sure how to put it." Her mum stop to think for a minute. "I guess they are just worried that you have been under this altered appearance for to long and don't want it to effect you, and I have to agree with them. This task is putting a lot of stress on you."

"I understand. I think that would be best as well. When do they want me to leave?"

"Tonight. I am not sure when they are coming, sometime after 10 p.m. I believe they said that ... oh dear I forgot the names."

Jane laughed. "I know how you are with names mum, that doesn't suprise me!"

"h yes! I remember now! Tonks? Is that someone you know?" Jane nodded her heard. " And let me see now, someone names Lupin I believe. I don't see why people canââ"Šâ"¢t have normal names!"

Jane smiled "Hermione isn't exactly a normal name mum! And yes Lupin use to be a professor of mine, and one of Harry's dad's best friends. Tonks is an auror, she can change her appreciate with just a though. Its amazing."

" Well your whole world is amazing."

" Yes it is, its still hard to get use to. I still have a hard time getting use to it, you would think after five years of it I would be."

Her mum smiled at her. " You know your father and I are very proud of you."

" know mum."

" We love you very much and couldn't of asked for a better child."

Tears began to flow down her checks. " I love you guys too"

" Oh honey, there is no need to cry," her mum wrapped her arms around her daughter and began stroking her hair." What is dear? Why are you crying."

" Harry. He never got to hear his parents say that to him. Its not fair. You should have heard how his uncle treated him the other day when I went over there, it was horrible. No one deserves to be treated like that."

" Oh honey I know he doesn't deserve that. What he lacks in love at his aunt and uncles he makes up for it at school. he has you, Ron, the Weasleyââ"Šâ"¢s, and the professors at school, Lupin, and I am sure there are more too. He is loved.ââ"ŠÂ

" know he is mum, but its not the same as the love he can get from his parents or his godfather. They have been taken away from him."

"okay dear. He is a strong boy from what I have heard."

" Oh mum he is. Its amazing someone can be so, so, well he is just wonderful! I don't think there are words that can describe him. Most people wouldn't be like he is with everything that has happen to him."

Her mum smiled at her and a few tears fell down her face. " You love him don't you?"

Jane turned a hundred different shades of red. â"What? How can you tell?"

" Oh dear, you should see your face when you talk about it. Its hard not to know. How long have you had these feelings?"

" Honestly? I think it was always there from the moment I saw him. maybe even before. I felt a connection with him, but I didn't want to. He is very famous wizard mum, every girl at school would do anything to be with him. I didn't want to be one of those girls who giggled and followed him around. So I just ignored my feelings until I couldn't any more. During fourth year when he was in the Tri-Wizard is when I couldn't hide the feelings anymore." Jane stopped and took a deep breath. In the second task he had to save the thing most important to him. He was supposed to save Ron, but I was captured as well because of Victor Krum. Apparently I was the most important to him." Jane shuddered at that though. " Harry tried to rescue everyone captured, and even went back to save one girl. He was the last to finish the task because of it. He didn't have to save her, but he did. As soon as I saw him returning with the other girl I knew I couldn't hide my feelings anymore." Jane smiled at the memory.

Her mum smiled back at her. "I am happy for you dear. Begin in love is the best feeling in the world."

"It is. I just wish he felt the same way about me."

He doesn't? Do you know this for a fact? Did he tell you?"

"No mum he didn't"

" Well then how can you think that? And don't tell me that you can just tell. I said the same thing when I met your father. I would have never though he would love me, boy was I wrong. He was head over heals for me but to scared to say anything, just like I was."

"Then how did you and Dad end up together?"

" We actually were going to tell each other on the same night. I went over to see him one night determined to let him know how I felt. When I arrived he had the dinner made for me with candle and flowers and music, it was very romantic. Then he just told me. After he told me I actually laughed, it was not the best thing to do, but I couldn't help it. He looked so hurt when I started laughing he thought I was laugh at him. Finally I was able to control my laughter and told him why I was laughing, and well the rest is history."

"Weren't you afraid of rejection? What if he didn't fell the same way?"

" Oh I was terrified, but refection is part of life dear, your heart has to break some before you can let someone have all of it." Jane wrinkled up her face in confusion. " I know it doesn't make sense now dear, but it will."

Jane nodded. "Well I guess I have a lot to think about and I need to pack as well, oh and I want to say good bye to Harry. I need to get going!" Jane jumped up from her bed. "Hedwig will you please give this letter to Harry?" Hedwig cooed and flew out the window with the letter. " Thank you girl!" she called after the owl.

"Jane dear. Let me help you pack. Then you can go over to Harry's and invite him to dinner."

"Dinner? Mum I donut know. What if he recognizes you?"

"Hes only seen me once or twice right?""

"Yes, But...."

"And that was a few years ago. My hair is different and I hate to say this but I am a little bigger as well, and older."

" Oh mum you look great!"

"Thank you dear. And besides if Harry hasn't realized that you love him he won't realize who I am. It will be fine dear."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely"

Jane ran over to her mum and hugged her "Thank you mum!"

"Your welcome dear. Now lets get you packed so you can get that boy of yours over here. I need to see if I approve of him."
"Mum!"

"I'm just kidding dear, its just a good thing your father is not here."

Jane and her mum both laughed as they started gathering up Jane's things
