Harry Potter and Crefuha's end

Harry released his comforting grip from Tabbi's arm, and she slowly opened her eyes. She walked towards the mirror and stood very still.

"It's just me, Harry," she said squinting. "Just my reflection." Harry shook his head.

"No. Look hard," said Harry positioning her again and standing beside her. She looked once more. But this time - she saw something...

"Oh. My. God," she said, getting closer. "Is...is that them? M-my parents?" She reached out to the mirror and touched it gently with her fingertips. Harry nodded silently.

"You were an only child...like me. You never knew your family...like me. You are lonely...like me." Harry slowly turned her around. She had tears streaming down her face. Harry wiped them off, and looked deep into her eyes. They seemed paler then usual, almost ice blue...they were the saddest eyes Harry had ever seen. This must have been a great ordeal for her. He leaned closer, and Tabbi was showing absolutely no resistance when their lips met. Harry broke off somewhat quickly...he wasn't entirely sure about her feelings. He wanted to find out. "And you long for me..." He looked at her surprised, slightly red face. So he was right. "We have a lot in common." they both laughed.

Suddenly they heard rustling movements and muffled giggling. The two turned around and looked anxiously around the room. Was it Hermione? Malfoy? Or even worse...a teacher?

"What were you guys doing in here?" Harry and Tabbi jumped...over by the farthest pillar, were Fred and George. They were probably finding new secret corridors and other passageways for the new year.

"Uh...um...we-we were...er..."

"Were you guys SNOGGING?" George spat. "Well, well, well! So soon! Congrats, Harry!" He winked at him. "Found out what American girls are like, eh?" Tabbi went red some more.

"Mind if we join you?" asked Fred suddenly. George shot him a look, and then quickly turned.

"I'm not related to him in any way, shape or form..." said George to Tabbi. She looked at the twins, bewildered, and then looked back at Harry.

"Er...we should probably get back to the dorms..." she said, trying to refrain from giggling. She and Harry picked up the cloak, and slowly walked out of the classroom - before laughing hysterically.

Neither Harry nor Tabbi knew what time they returned, or how much sleep they actually had gotten... But both of them were in for a big surprise that morning in the great hall. Everyone, left and right, were pointing at Tabbi whispering.
"Look at her!"
"That is HER?"

"HER???"

"She is FAMOUS?!"

She and Harry quietly sat down, trying to ignore all the head turns and whispers. Tabbi looked over to the Slytherin table...Hermione was still sitting cuddling with Draco. Dumbledore had a grim look upon his face watching Draco and Hermione, and whispered something in McGonagall's ear - He then stood up and everyone stopped the chatter instantly.

"Welcome, yet again, to Hogwarts. This is the first breakfast, the first day. Classes start soon, and I don't want any one of you late. So, eat up. And about this rumor going around," he shot a sad look at Tabbi, then turned to Snape ."Professor Snape has something to say." Snape nodded and stood, a very wide grin on his screwed-up, ugly face.

"Well students...it is confirmed...we now have not only one celebrity in our midst...but TWO," he said malevolently. "Tabitha Stefanie Webb." Everyone there then gasped and looked directly toward Tabbi, then broke out in excited talk.
"Look! A famous couple!"

"Right next to Harry Potter!"

"So perfect for each other!"

McGonagall stood up, "It has also come to pass that two certain students from different houses have seemed to have a bit of a lust for each other," she said, looking over at Draco and Hermione. More chatter started. "So, Hermione Granger, from this day forth, you will be known as a Slytherin. I've checked with the hat, he believes it suits you...very well. Considering your recent actions..." She snapped her fingers twice and Hermione's robes instantly changed...to green and Silver. She smiled for a second, glared at the Gryffindor table, and sat back down, continuing her "Lust" for Malfoy.

"I think it suits her fine," Ron sneered as the food appeared. "Now we can call her Granger."

"But I don't get this...who ratted on me?" asked Tabbi, stuffing her face simultaneously.

"Fred and George wouldn't..." said George and Fred. Every one sweatdropped.

"You ARE Fred and George," said Ginny plainly, not looking up from her food. Tabbi interrupted.

"Draco isn't in Gryffindor..."

"GRANGER!" They all exclaimed, causing the rest of the table to shoot strange looks at them. They smiled at each other and continued eating.

Breakfast was soon over and they found themselves sitting in Divination. Harry sat with Tabbi and Ron sat with some prat who had bad breath and was constantly talking about toothbrushes...like she knew what those were... Anyway, they were learning how to read Crystal Balls this year so Professor Trelawney was in high spirits...to finally be teaching something she KNEW.

"Children, please take your seats and settle down. Mr. Longbottom, please try to control that toad of yours...thank you. Now, you all know about our next lesson, do you not?"

"Yes Professor..." the class droned like a bunch of zombies.

"Crystal Ball reading is one of my favorite types of Divination, so--'' she paused, then looked at Neville. "Mr. Longbottom, may I please take possession of that toad? I'm sure you don't want it flung out the window..." Neville gave her a bewildered look, and then grabbed Trevor in his hands, so she couldn't take him. Professor Trelawney sighed. "Very well then. I'll give you this wiggenweld potion. For when you find him." She looked at the rest of the class, and continued. "So I will be in exceptionally high spirits throughout the lesson."

"Oh great, not like she needs it..." Ron whispered to Harry and Tabbi. They giggled.

"Let's begin with connecting with the Spirits...alright children, clear your minds..." There was a pause in her speech, in which Trevor leapt out of Neville's hands and landed on Lavender Brown's head...who screamed and flung the toad out of the window. Trelawney got up from her desk, walked to a cabinet, and then handed Neville a small vile. Neville left and Trelawney went back to her crystal ball. "...Try to connect with the Spirits of the past...let the energy flow..." Professor Trelawney stopped, leaning over her own Crystal Ball. Her numerous necklaces and bracelets clashed against each other.

"Yes...clear your mind so I can fill your head full of NOOOOTHING..." Ron continued. Harry let a small snort escape and Professor Trelawney looked up,

"Mr. Potter, you have something to add to our connecting?"

"Uh, no, I was just thinking of something I heard today...that's all." Harry said. Professor Trelawney gave him an awkward look and turned back to her Crystal Ball. Harry turned around and shot Ron a look, "I know she's weird but you almost got me in trouble...and I absolutely do NOT want to stay after with HER. Who knows what she could do to me?"

"Sorry Harry, I was only funning. I'll wait for the mockery till after class." Ron said.

The next class was Potions, which everyone dreads except the Slytherins. Professor Snape was exceptionally hard on the Gryffindors, taking away a full 20 points from their house, but then giving some back on account of a surprise visit from Dumbledore. They went from there to the rest of the day until FINALLY Herbology.

"I thought it would NEVER end...Snape's class...I mean." Ron remarked. Nothing of great hazard (otherwise known as nothing worth writing) happened in Herbology, and the school went to sleep soundly...unless you count the fact everyone was ganging up on Tabbi all night long (being famous you know) When everyone was finally done goggling over her, she, Harry and Ron sat on Harry's bed all night talking. (Yes, Tabbi was in the boy's dorms.) Ron left to his four poster bed around midnight, and Tabbi left around 1:30...not without a nice hug, of course. Harry would have bargained for more, but he still wasn't perfect on Tabbi's emotions.

"So," Tabbi asked Harry the next morning. "What classes do we have today?" Ron came down in his pajamas yawning.

"Screw that, what time did you two go to sleep last night?" he sprawled himself on the floor. They didn't answer. Harry just looked at Tabbi, smiled, and looked back at his schedule.

"Potions, Divination, Charms....and Defense against the Dark Arts," he said with a sigh. "It's only the third day back...and I'm already sick of it."

"When does the Quidditch season start?" asked Tabbi. "Isn't another school coming to 'observe' a game...or something?"

"Oh yeah! Dumbledore said something about that! I wonder what school..."Ron trailed off, saying something about Beauxbatons and half-veelas.

"White Mare Academy, Ron. I'm sorry, you won't see Fleur." Said Harry, trying to refrain from laughing.

"Well, I hope we start practicing soon...isn't there a flying class?" asked Tabbi.

"Yeah," replied Harry, "but it's not until next week." He looked around the common room. More and more people showed up yawning and stretching, some dressed, some not. Then he spotted something pinned on the wall that wasn't there the day before. He got up and walked over to it.

"Oi! Ron! Tabbi! Come have a look at this!" He called, reading it and waving a frantic hand at his friends. Tabbi and Ron got up, and the common room got silent. "It's Hogsmeade! This weekend!"

"Hogsmeade?" asked Tabbi, "what the hell is Hogsmeade?"

"Hogsmeade!" exclaimed Ron, "on the first weekend back?" The whole common room then bustled over to the sheet of paper. Tabbi hated people crowding around her, so she left quietly and sat near the fire. George walked over to her.

"George?" She said quietly, "what the hell is Hogsmeade?" George chuckled a bit.

"You really are perfect for the beater," he started, "but Hogsmeade is just like Diagon Alley... only better! They have a GREAT joke shop, they have a candy shop, a bar...even the shrieking shack!" Tabbi looked even more confused then before. "Eh...you'll see this weekend. I'm going to breakfast. See you!" He limped out of the port hole. Everyone eventually resided from the wall, and some bombarded Tabbi before going to breakfast or back to the dorms to change. (Wow! TWO famous people! It's just too damn much for them...) Soon enough everyone was gone...except for the trio. Ron came back to the common room dressed and ready, and Harry was sitting by the fire with Tabbi.

"I don't understand," he said mostly to himself, but Tabbi heard anyway.

"Don't understand what?"

"Why Hogsmeade is scheduled so early. Usually we go around at least four weeks in."

"I don't understand barely anything right now...so don't feel too bad." Harry stood up.

"Coming to breakfast?"

"Uh...n-no...I th-think I'll just stay here." She replied, a quiver in her voice. She was quite jittery, and got very pale.

"See you in potions then?" he asked, noticing, and Ron noticed too.

"Y-yeah...s-sure...bye, Harry...Ron." The two boys waved and went through the portrait hole. They exchanged worried looks.

"Do you think she is ok?" asked Ron.

"Dunno," replied Harry as they went through the entrance hall.

The two boys went to breakfast, and, as usual, ate merrily... or not. Why hadn't Tabbi come down? Why had she gotten so jittery? And Harry noticed something else...

"Where's Dumbledore?" Harry asked Fred. He just shrugged. The teachers weren't even eating. They had no plates set out. They were just in a huddle...talking about something. Every one basically ate in silence, trying to hear what the teachers were saying, so the teachers shooed them out early.

"Get to class...don't be late."

"LATE?" raged Ron walking through the dungeons. "LATE?! We have at least 20 minutes!!" The two boys sat down and waited. Slowly the class came in. They were having doubles with Slytherin. About half an hour later, Snape came in with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. But Tabbi was nowhere to be seen. Snape closed the door...too late for it now. They went through potions without any trouble from Malfoy or any of his classmates, and strangely no harm form Snape. Yet - no sign of Tabbi what so ever...what had happened to her? Maybe there was a reason for Slytherin kindness...had they done something to her?!

Harry was getting worried... he decided to skip the next class, (or classes) to try and find Tabbi. Ron covered for him, explaining to Professor Sprout that he had gotten a bad case of Murmurs (where you do nothing but puke up slugs for an amount of time), and that he was in the bathroom getting rid of them and he would return when finished - luckily, it had worked. Professor Sprout bought his story and Harry went noiselessly back up to Gryffindor tower to check if Tabbi was there...no sign of her.

"Tabbi? Are you in here?" he called, with no answer. He looked up in all the dorms, and even all the boys'. Nothing. Suddenly, it came to him.

"The Mirror of Erised!" He breathed. He rushed to his dorm...sure enough, the cloak was gone from under his pillow, the place he had put it when they had gotten back the other night. Great, he thought, just great. Now how am I to get there? He pondered...the Marauder's map! Surely there must have been a secret passage...he reached into his trunk, looked at the map, and still nothing. What...? He had placed the map back when he noticed that the invisibility cloak was right there...

"But didn't I--didn't she--?" he had no time to dwell on this. He should have seen Tabbi on the map, but he only skimmed it...he could have missed her. He left through the portrait hole, causing the poor fat lady to scream in terror as no one came from the common room.

"Shh!" he said pulling down the cloak slightly, "It's only me!" She looked sternly at him and he went back under the cloak saying, "Don't mind keeping your mouth shut about this, do you?" He turned out of earshot before she could answer. He ran through the corridors and spare rooms very fast, being so eager to see what Tabbi was up to, and, luckily, ran into no one. He entered the spare room. He looked for the familiar blonde...

"Tabbi?" He said, removing the cloak and walking toward her. She jumped, turned and sighed. She was sitting in front of the mirror...just staring. (Looks a bit too familiar to Harry) "Wha-what are you doing...you realize you missed Potions? You'll probably--'' She hushed him and pulled him by the robes and he fell down. He straightened himself awkwardly.

"Harry," She said, cuddling up next to him, "Shut up. Tell me what YOU see." Harry smiled affectionately at her, but hesitated to answer. So she answered for him. "You see them, don't you? Your parents,'' this was not entirely true... "just like me...you see them. You have no right to yell at me...you see? You probably missed-- ''

"Never. I went only at night." She looked at him, a bit disappointed.

"Still, you snuck out to get here," She replied, and they both laughed. He pushed her short hair behind her ear, plotted a soft peck on her cheek, and said,

"Tab? If you didn't use the cloak...how on earth did you get here?"

"Well I Disamented, of course, silly," She said patting his arm playfully. Harry looked dumbstruck. "You know, it's just like Apparating, only it's for 'underage wizards'." Harry stared at her. Was she mad? Disamented?? What??? "Oh, it's so easy! Nothing can see it, nothing can detect it. Maybe the Marauders map can, but I'm not sure. Some guy taught it to me in the summer...I forgot his name... but here! I'll show you!" Harry got up as Tabbi walked to the center of the room. Suddenly, she disappeared out of thin air with a strange squishing noise, and she reappeared by the mirror. "See? You become oxygen itself! You can 'flow' yourself to anywhere in the world in seconds!" Through the next few hours, Tabbi taught Harry the same way the strange man taught Tabbi, and soon Harry did it almost perfectly. After about 7 perfect Disamentings, Tabbi and Harry sat down back in front of the mirror, again just staring into both the mirror and each others' eyes, and talking. About all Harry's past adventures, all Tabbi's woes with 'guys' as she called them, and about how horrible their 'non-families' were...until finally Tabbi realized--It was late!

"We are in so much shit!" She blurted as she got up hastily trying to pry herself from the mirror, Harry dashing for the cloak. They both disamented back to the common room...everyone had already been sleeping! They gave each other a very passionate hug, and went there separate ways, trying not to think of what might happen the next day...when they'd face the teachers' furious yells and hollers. But what had happened to Tabbi? Harry still pondered as he lie awake, Why hadn't she gone to Potions or Breakfast? Why so...frightened?
