Chapter 1 - Backyard Fun
~*~*~
Harry sat on his broomstick and waited patiently. The minutes shifted slowly, and Harry yawned. Hermione was sitting nearby, watching Harry. She grinned and gave him a thumbs-up when he met her gaze. "Be careful," she mouthed and Harry nodded.
After a few more minutes, what Harry was waiting for came. He got splashed with water from Sirius's hose. They were in the backyard, so it was all right. Harry laughed and said, "Ron! Stop it!"
"You're supposed to be flying away," Ron yelled over Harry's laughter.
"Okay," Harry laughed again, as he zoomed higher into the sky.
"Hey... Not that high!" Ron yelled.
Harry grinned to himself. Ron's yell was barely audible. But all the same, he flew closer, and waved. Ron did not wave back; he obviously didn't see Harry. Harry could see Hermione scanning the sky anxiously. He also heard her say, "Ron! I can't see him!"
Harry dived closer again and managed to get behind Ron without being seen. He zoomed towards the front of his house and ran in. Sirius, who was seated at the dining table, shot him a disapproving look, as he was all wet. Harry grinned sheepishly as he waved at Sirius. Sirius gestured Harry to go on, and that was what Harry did. He rushed up the stairs and to his room to get his Invisibility cloak. He put it on, and rushed back downstairs, in the process tripping over his own foot (quite unlike him) and rolling down the steps. He groaned in pain and hopped onto his broomstick, which was also covered with the Invisibility cloak.
Of course, you can tell that both Harry and his broomstick were totally invisible by now. So Harry stopped when he reached Ron and pushed Ron onto the ground.
"What the-?" Ron began, but Harry grabbed the hose out of Ron's hand and got Ron wet.
"Ron... are you okay?" Hermione asked, concerned as she rushed towards Ron.
"Eh? Yeah... I'm fine. That's Harry over there," Ron grinned as he stood up.
"I know," Hermione glanced at the spot where the hose was dangling in mid-air, still spouting water. She carefully looked at the hose, gasped, and quickly went back to the house. Ron stared after her, saying, "C'mon Hermione, what could be so bad about Harry?" (Harry, by then, had already taken off his cloak.)
Little did Ron know that Hermione was not worried about the hose - or Harry. She had just seen Draco Malfoy.

A/N: I know it's short... Sorry! You'll see why she was um, "terrified" of Draco... in the next few chapters or so.
