AN: I am not JKR. I'm not making any money off of this. I just spend too much time reading head canons on Tumblr. (Which is where this one came from as well.)

Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 1: The Date

I can't believe she has talked me into this, I thought as I trudged along the wet path towards the Three Broomsticks. Why on earth did I think this would be a good idea?

Hermione had convinced me that it would be a good idea for me to go on a date with Cameron Mathews, a seventh year Ravenclaw. There is no other real reason for me agreeing to it other than to get her off of my back. She's been insisting on it since the second week of term. Since this was the first Hogsmead weekend, I figured I would go along with Cameron, have a nice time, and then move on with my life.

Walking in to the pub, I saw Cameron sitting at a small table toward the back. He smiled and waved, and I couldn't help but return the gesture. Bloody hell, what's the worst that could happen, I thought.

I would think that, wouldn't I?

After a few drinks, Cameron and I were enjoying ourselves and laughing away. I had never really spent a lot of time with Ravenclaws after the brief stint with Michael in fourth year. Seems like so long ago, actually. Cameron didn't really stick out. He was fairly basic. He is just a bit taller than I am, with plain brown hair cut rather short, (I liked the little shag of Harry's better), and dull grey eyes (nothing close to the bright green that were Harry's eyes).

Clearly, I was struggling to get Harry out of my mind. It wasn't that Cameron wasn't a nice bloke. He truly was. However, he just wasn't Harry. I know he is off working on becoming an official Auror, (they sort of had a "fast track" program for anyone wishing to be an auror that also took part in the Battle last May.) We both decided to just wait until I was out of school before we attempted whatever it is that we are…but that doesn't mean I like it at all. Actually I hate it…

Wait. I've totally tuned out the conversation. Cameron is just talking away. I better pay attention.

"…and then she said 'how about that!'" He flung his head back and laughed hysterically.

I smiled, and gave a soft laugh, trying to play along. It was then that I saw something move at the table behind Cameron. I glanced past him and didn't see anything at first. He turned around to try and see what I was looking at. When he turned back, I realized what I had seen. There were a pair of trainers just sitting under the table. I knew immediately who they belonged to.

Cameron turned back to me and said, "I think I am ready to go back up to the castle. Would you like to join me?"

"Thanks, but I think I am going to get another drink. Then I am going to stop in at a few more shops before heading back. I'll see you around though."

He returned the smile I gave him and departed. It was then that I rose from the table and walked over to the other one with the apparently empty trainers resting under it. Reaching my hand out, I grabbed at the air and gave a hard yank when my hand found what I knew was the invisibility cloak.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! HOW DARE YOU SPY ON MY DATE?"

Harry cringed. After I said that, I realized just how much like my mother I sounded. That was a rough one to swallow. I wonder if everyone has a moment like that? Wait. Back on topic. Harry spying on my date.

"How dare you?" I seethed. Anger absolutely fuming from every part of me. "It was YOU that wanted to not be together while I was back at school while you were off at auror training. Not me! And yet here you are, spying on me!"

"Gin, I—" Harry began.

"No, Harry. Don't even bother. There is absolutely no good reason for you to be here, stalking me under that cloak. I am furious with you." With a final glare, I turned around and stalked out the door to head back to the castle.
