I do not own anything except the characters I created and the storyline. JK Rowling is the genius who started it all.
Please take the time to review. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Since it took so long for me to post the last chapter, I figured I would post another one.
Chapter Eighteen
Hailey walked back inside the cabin and ran into her mother.
"Are you okay?" asked Luna.
"I'm fine, Mum."
"You don't look fine. You look like you've been crying."
"I was outside talking to Noah."
"What happened?"
"Can we go somewhere else and talk about it?"
"Of course, your father is in the kitchen so we can talk in my room."
Hailey followed her mother into her room. Luna took a seat on the bed, but Hailey chose to stand.
"So what's going on, Hailey?"
Hailey started to pace. "It's a long story."
"We have time."
"Okay, well it all started when James broke up with me. I was a mess and he asked Noah to look after me."
"Mhm."
"Noah and I became closer. Really close. We couldn't stand each other and all of a sudden we spent everyday together."
"Mhm."
"Then he asked me if I could teach him how to dance. He kissed me during the first lesson."
"He kissed you? Did you kiss him back?"
"Yes and yes. We practically snogged."
"Then what happened?"
"I pushed him away."
"Why?"
"Because he's James' brother and I felt guilty."
"Did you feel guilty because you still had feelings for James?"
"No, I felt guilty because for most of my life James was my best friend."
"I see."
"Yeah, so then I told Noah it was a mistake and it couldn't happen again. After that, we pretended nothing happened, but it was on my mind all the time."
Hailey stopped pacing and stood in front of her mother.
"Then after our last dance lesson he kissed me again. This time was so much better than the first. It was amazing."
"What did you do?"
"I was scared and said it couldn't happen again."
"Oh. Then what?"
"I found out he was hanging out with this girl and I was jealous. I was insanely jealous and that is when I finally realized my feelings for him."
Hailey sat down next to her mum. "When we got here, I told him I wanted to be with him and then James found out."
"He was not too happy."
"No, he wasn't. He told me that he wouldn't accept Noah and I being together. That I had to choose."
"What was your choice?"
"I ended things with Noah. Most of my life has been connected with James. I didn't want to lose that friendship."
"Do you think you made the right decision?"
"I don't know. I'm so confused. Noah told me he was in love with me."
"Oh. How'd that make you feel?"
"I'd never felt more happy or miserable at the same time."
"Hailey, you're almost done school and are old enough to make the right decisions. I just hope you made the decision based on what will make you happy. You can't make your decision to make James or Noah happy. It has to be about you and what you want."
"I don't know what I want. I'm so confused."
"I think you should figure out what you want before you choose to be with either of them."
Hailey gave her mother a hug. "Thanks Mum. I really needed to talk to someone about this."
"Anytime sweetie," she said as she hugged her back. "Watch this."
Luna pointed her wand at the door and whispered a spell. The door disappeared and Ronald Weasley fell onto the floor. Luna and Hailey laughed at him.
"Were you eavesdropping?" asked Hailey.
"I was trying not to, sorry."
"It's okay, Dad," Hailey.
"Is my little girl okay?" he asked.
"I will be."
Ron held out his arms and Hailey stepped into them. "Good," he said as he hugged her. "Let me know if I need to have a talk with those Potter boys."
Hailey chuckled. "Okay, Dad."

While April was talking to his parents, James went to grab a snack from the kitchen. Noah was already sitting on the counter sipping hot chocolate. James turned around to leave.
"You know this kitchen is big enough for the both of us. You don't have to run out just because I'm here," commented Noah.
James turned back around and grabbed a butterbeer from the fridge. Noah hopped off the counter.
"I guess I owe you a congratulations," he stated.
"What are you talking about?" questioned James.
"Hailey broke things off. I'm sure you're thrilled."
"Well, it just goes to show the better man won."
"She's not a prize, James. I should have told you I was falling for her and I'm sorry I waited too long, but that doesn't make me a bad person."
"You're right. You should have told me."
"I'm not going to tell you I'm sorry every time we talk. I've already said it and if you forgive me, that's great. If not, hopefully one day you do."
"You know what Noah, cut the crap. You went behind my back and you're an arse for it."
"You're right I was an arse, but it's over. She doesn't want me."
Noah placed his mug in the sink and walked out of the kitchen.

"I think we should start cooking dinner, Luna," suggested Hermione.
Ron looked up from his seat on the couch. "Yeah, I'm starving. Make sure the turkey isn't too dry. Oh, and don't forget not to put onions in the stuffing."
Luna threw a couch pillow at him. "Just for that you're going to peel apples for the pie."
Ron grinned. "That's easy."
"You can't use your wand," stated Luna.
"But darling.."
"No buts. Get in the kitchen and start peeling mister!"
Ron stood up and shuffled his way into the kitchen mumbling about stupid apples.
"I'll go help him," offered Harry.
Hermione gave him a peck on the lips. "Good, make sure he doesn't eat them all."
Luna, Harry, and Hermione made their way into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Inside the kitchen, Ron was stuffing a whole apple in his mouth.
"Ron, you do know you're supposed to bite it, right?" asked Harry.
"Itsquiangidfngtntnthisway," he responded.
Luna smirked and waved her wand. The apple disappeared from his mouth.
"MHEMD!"
"Now, you won't be able to put anything in your mouth until dinner."
"Even better, he can't talk," commented Hermione.
Harry chuckled and began peeling apples.

"Hey buddy, how are you doing?" asked Will as he walked into Noah's room.
"Great. Ecstatic. Perfect."
"I'm picking up on the sarcasm."
"Hailey ended things. I told her I loved her and she basically stomped on my heart."
"I think you just need to give her time. She'll come around."
"Come around? For what?"
"You're the right one for her. She's just hasn't realized it yet."
Noah shook his head. "Maybe I'm not. Maybe I should just move on. School's almost done and then I'm traveling around the world."
"You're just going to runaway?"
"I'm not running away. I've been planning this trip since fourth year."
"Yeah, I know, but you can't leave with things unresolved."
"Things are resolved. She said it's over."
"You're just hurt. Don't give up on her."
