Chapter 47

" HOW COULD YOU SIDE WITH HIM ?! " Teddy shouted at Cortney. The two were currently in Teddy's dorm having a fight about Harry.

" Because I know Harry, and I know this is not what he wanted," Cortney explained.

" HE IS JUST DOING IT FOR ATTENTION! " Teddy shouted.

" I HAVE MY POINT OF VIEW AND YOU HAVE YOUR POINT OF VIEW! " Cortney shouted at him.

"You are cheating on me with him aren't you? " Teddy accused again.

" For the millionth time, I am not cheating on you with Harry. Nor will I ever cheat on you or anybody," Cortney said. " He's my cousin's godson".

" How do I know you're telling the truth," Teddy said. Cortney sighed and sat on his bed. 

" Teddy, I think we should take a break," Cortney said not looking at him.

 What? " Teddy questioned as he sat next to her. " Why? "

" We fight so much that it's getting to be unhealthy," Cortney said with tears in her eyes. " And we don't have that connection anymore I feel it". Teddy took her hands and into his and held them.

" Cortney why don't we go on a date," Teddy suggested. " To see if that spark is still there".

" Teddy," Cortney said with tears falling down her cheeks.

" Please, I don't want to lose you," Teddy pleaded. They sat in silence, Teddy wiped the tears off her cheeks. 

" Okay, we get one more chance together. The next time we have a really big fight like this, it's over," Cortney said looking at him. A big smile grew on his face, he grabbed her face and kissed her lips, Cortney gently kissed back. 

" You better get going, don't want to keep Longbottom waiting," Teddy said helping her up. Cortney nodded at him. he kissed his cheek and left. She went to her dorm and went over the Greenhouse, she found Neville sitting alone flipping through the book he was reading a couple of days ago. He looked up and smiled at her.

" Okay, now that we understand each other more, I think our lessons are going to go more smoothly, by the-" Neville was cut off by familiar voices.

" I'm ready to be helped! " Seamus said sitting down next to Cortney. Dean went and sat next to Neville.

" Oooo, a group tutor day," Cortney said. " You should be a Herbology teacher".

" M-me? " Neville stuttered. Cortney nodded her head. " No, I wouldn't be any good".

" She's right," Dean agreed.

" You are the top student in Herbology out of our whole class," Seamus pointed out.

" I guess I'll look into it," Neville shrugged. They went through the lesson till the time was up. All four left the greenhouse together. Seamus was walking with Cortney. Dean and Neville were in front of them.

" Why did you look upset earlier? " Seamus asked.

" When? " Cortney asked back.

" When Dean and I came into the greenhouse," Seamus pointed out.

" Oh," Cortney said softly. She turned away and looked out at the lake. " Teddy and I had another fight right before I came down. Nothing big, it's all fine".

" You should break up with him? " Seamus suggested.

" I told him we should take a break. He said to keep trying. And I said the next big fight we have will be the day we break up," Cortney assured him. " How you and Lavender? "

" I tried to break up with her, but she won't let us even talk," Seamus said.  

" I'm sorry to hear about that," Cortney said looking up at him.

" It's fine," Seamus said looking down at her. Cortney tripped and her Herbology book fell into the water.

" Shoot! " Cortney gasped.

" I'll get it! " Seamus said setting his stuff down and jumping in. He kicked aside a few things, went under, and came back up with her textbook soaking wet.

" Thank you so much! " Cortney said helping him out of the water. He was shaking a lot.

" The water is a little cold," Seamus said holding himself, a big smile was on his face as spit water everywhere. Cortney took off her robe and put it over Seamus. 

"Let's go to the common room and get you a towel," Cortney said with the same size smile.

" Thanks, Cort," Seamus laughed. " For now I'll need some more heat so I'll just use you".

" What? " Cortney said in horror. Seamus wrapped her in a giant hug, Cortney shrieked as she was smothered in cold water.

" Seamus! " She shrieked, even more, Seamus just laughed.

************************

A few days later Cortney was down by the lake with Harry and Neville. Cortney and Harry were sitting leaning up against the tree and Cortney were in the water with Neville. He was observing a plant and telling Cortney all about it. Neville thought that this would be a great lesson, it was visual learning today.

" Amazing! " Neville exclaimed looking at the plant he pulled out of the water. It was turning from forest green to a warm orange.

" Neville," Harry began. "You're doing it again". Harry was clearly annoyed.

" Oh right. Sorry" Neville apologized.

" Magical Water Plants of Hilandlass," Harry read the front of Neville's book.

" Yeah, Moody gave it to me, that day we had tea," Neville explained. They heard a group of people from afar. The three looked towards the direction the sound was coming from; to see Ron and Hermione bickering with Ginny tagging along.  Hermione confusingly walked forward.

" Ronald would like me to tell you, Seamus told him, that Dean told by Pavarti, that Hagrid wants to talk to you," said Hermione.

" Is that right? Wait, what? " Harry asked. Cortney and Neville looked at each other and then back to what they were doing.

" Er..." Hermione walked over to Ron, they whispered to each other, she sighed and came back. " Dean was told by Pavarti that-please don't make me say it again...Hagrid wants you".

" Well, you can tell Ron that--" Harry began.

" I'm not an owl ! " Hermione snapped. He marched back up to Ron and Ginny, the three walked away.

" What was that about? " Neville asked holding the same plant.

" Nothing," growled Harry.

" Some people aren't in good moods today," Cortney muttered. Neville splashed her with water.
