Chapter One; So Much to Do So Little Time

Harry kissed his horse's cheek before he grabbed the currycomb and started brushing his fur. That's when suddenly he ran into somebody that he would have never suspected. "Hey Harry." His sister's new friend and crush said as he stopped in front of the stall door and grinned at him.

"Jerry?" Harry questioned him as he glanced up at him with uncertainty. "What are you doing here?" he wondered.

"Well your sister just wrote to me and told me that you both ride here and she got me interested in taking lessons." Jerry explained.

"Oh, I didn't know that you liked horses." Harry said while he continued brushing his horse.

"Yeah I pretty much like all animals. Of course I'm surprised that you do when you have animals like dragons and unicorns to be fascinated with." Jerry told him.

"I do love dragons, they're my favorite. In fact didn't Eve tell you that I had my own dragon business?" he inquired.

"Oh yeah, that's right. She did mention something about that." Jerry told him.

"It's just that I believe in showing my affection to all of God's creatures." Harry said.

"You know I always wondered this, how can your family be Christians if you're all wizards and stuff?" Jerry asked him.

"Because there is such a thing as good wizards. It's just that most non magical people don't realize that." He replied.

"I'm sorry Harry, I should have known from the way you and your sister behave. Well, I can't be late for my lesson. I got a lot of homework to do when I get home." Jerry said.

"Really? I thought that you had study halls or something?" Harry asked him.

"Yep but unfortunately I can't get all of my projects done in school. Well, see you later Harry." Jerry told him before he turned around and walked away. Harry told him goodbye before he went back to grooming his horse.

Eve sat at the table inside Gryffindor common room. Even though she realized that she should have been working on her homework, she couldn't help doodling Jerry's name over and over again in her fancy cursive writing. That's when all of a sudden Carlos, Tobey, and Angel came down the stairs and stopped at her table while she continue doodling and sighing dreamily. "What are you doing?" he questioned glancing down at her paper.

"Hey!" she snapped as she snatched up her journal and moved it away from him. "That's private!" she told him but he just simply grinned at her.

"Who's Jerry?" he asked her as Tobey grinned.

"Some muggle that she has the hots for." He said as both of the boys laughed.

"Hey shut up it's not funny! Besides, you're one to talk. Everyone knows how much you like Jessie." She said.

"well, at least he doesn't write her name over and over." Carlos began before he bent down and picked up her journal and looked at it. "You better not let your father see this, he'd kill you if he found out you were up here daydreaming instead of getting your homework done." He said.

"That's right," she began as she quickly snatched her journal back. "if he finds out. But he won't, will he?" she questioned him.

"He will as soon as your grades start slipping." Tobey told her. "And I don't think Harry will be all that happy about it either." He said. "Anyway, it isn't any of our business so we're staying out of it." He told her while holding up his hands into the air. "C'mon girl, let's go down to see Hagrid." He told her as Angel glanced up at him wagging her tail before she led him away towards the portrait hole with Carlos following along behind them.

"Boys!" Eve spat with a roll of her eyes and she quickly shook her head before she went back to doodling. Later on that evening it was time for supper and it was only then that Eve realized that she hadn't gotten any of her homework done. She forced herself to stay awake while the rest of her friends slept inside their beds peacefully. She glanced down at the list of things that she had to get done.

Between all the things she had written down and her usual star chart, Eve realized that there wasn't a single chance in the world that she would finish all of her homework by morning. She still had a couple of more days to gather her ingredients together for the Polyjuice Potion, but there was no way that she would pass her test about it at the end of the week. "Tobey and Carlos were right, I'm doomed!" she exclaimed with a groan before she fell back down on her bed covering her face with her folder.

Precious finished scratching up her litterbox before leaping onto the foot of her bed and lying down beginning to purr. "Well, I guess there isn't anything else to do now except go to bed. I'll figure out what do in the morning." She said before she put her homework stuff away and took off her clothes and got into pajamas before she crawled under the covers and tried to go to sleep. She also tried not to think about how Harry and her father would react when they found out that she was slacking off. Then realizing that there was no way that she would be able to escape her punishment whether she stayed awake all night or not, she finally fell asleep.
