"It will be quick Hermione, I promise!" Harry said as he slipped under his invisibility cloak. he only had one place in mind and he knew the way towards it like the back of his head. On his way up through the castle he almost got himself busted by either Filch or his cat twice, but after way more effor than usual he made his way up to the seventh floor of the castle.
"I want a place where I can enjoy the night sky, I want a place where i can enjoy the night sky, I want a place where I can enjoy the night sky." And at the third time he walked by a door opened to the room of requirements. He walked in and seated himself in front of the moon. Harry didn't know whether or not the room was connected to the castles outer walls or if it was just because of the room's magic, but he could see the night sky as clearly as he'd ever been able to.
The first few weeks back in school had been stressful and without the DA meetings Harry knew that the room was mostly left unused which was just fine with him. Hermione had been right saying that he was more popular than ever. Wherever he went somebody seemed to want his company and so he couldn't resist the temptation of sneaking up to the room of requirements every once in a while when they didn't have quidditch practice. Here he'd always been able to be alone, but it seemed that Harry's luck had run out that night when the door opened.
In wild panic Harry threw his cloak away forgetting to put it on and went to on the other side of the bookshelf. The footprints of the other person were light and so Harry figured she had to be a girl. Harry knew he must have taken up his old spot, not that it mattered all that much though since he could see the night sky just fine from there as well. He let out a sigh of relief a little too loud.
"Who's there?" the girl asked sounding terrified of being caught out of bed.
"I'm one who's in the same situation as you I guess, but I won't tell you my name." Harry answered and he could hear the girl sigh herself.
"So you couldn't sleep?" the girl asked and Harry nodded before he realized that she couldn't hear him nodding.
"y-yeah, I needed some quiet time to myself."
"I hope I'm not interrupting then because if I am then I could leave you alone you know." The girl said.
"not at all, you're actually much more calm than the girls I meet daily who can't seem to shut up at all." Harry was actually finding the situation rather exciting, talking to someone when neither one knew who the other was.
"You sound like you're that famous Harry Potter or something." Harry felt a sweat drop appear on his forehead and he quickly made up a response.
"How did you draw that link, do you fancy him or something?" the answer came almost immediately.
"I'm not one of his crazy fan girls if that's what you mean!" she sounded quite angry and Harry knew he needed clear it up.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean anything like that, it was more of a joke than anything. I was just trying to find out a bit more about you."
"Ah, aren't you curious? You know it's not polite to ask without giving your name first."
"I don't plan on giving my own name either, but I will tell you that I'm Gryffindor. Now what house are you in?"
"The same, I'm also Gryffindor." The girl answered back and Harry then knew that he probably knew who the girl was. This only added to his curiosity and he pondered on what to ask her next.
"Then what year are yo…"
"I really have to go now, but it was really nice talking to you." The girl interrupted and hurried to the door closing it as quietly as she could. As the door closed Harry knew that his chances of finding out who the mystery girl was. At least for tonight Harry assured himself.
That night Harry slept as if he was on a cloud drifting away. The mystery girl showed up in his dreams as well though only in voice, but he enjoyed having conversations with her even though they were only fake.
"I knew it! I knew you'd be half asleep today because of your midnight stroll." Hermione scolded him but Harry didn't care if he was half asleep because he'd happily trade one tired day for a conversation with the girl he'd met last night. He didn't mention the mystery girl to Hermione though as he knew she wouldn't even believe him and only think that it was some silly excuse.
All throughout the day Harry was in high spirits because of the previous night and even defense against the dark arts with Snape couldn't bring him down as he had every intention of going back to the room of requirements that night as well to see if she would show up.
As dinner came up Hermione snuck up on Harry when he was in the middle of an intense conversation with Ginny who was sitting cross table about the practice schedules.
"I hope you're not planning on going back there again tonight." She whispered in his ear, but he merely shook his head. She wouldn't know about it anyway seeing as he was planning on putting the cloak on in the dormitory and would come down invisible.
"You all did great today!" Harry applauded his team, it had been a perfect practice for everybody and he was sure that they would beat Slytherin, at least if things progressed as they had. He left the changing room in a hurry with only the mystery girl in mind at the moment.
I am actually considering making this a one shot fanfic so tell me what you think and then I'll make a decision.
