Milestone: First (Actual) Meeting
Harry Potter was angry and upset as he stormed out of the Gryffindor common room and into the empty halls of Hogwarts. He didn't care that it was almost curfew. He just had to get away from Ron, his best friend – or was that his ex-best friend after what he had just said.
He had called Harry a liar for not admitting that he had put his own name in the Goblet of Fire, which he did not. Thankfully Hermione said she believed him without question. Still, he needed to get away from most of Gryffindor because although they were happy there was a Gryffindor champion in the tournament, most believed that he had somehow put his name in.
Stopping for a moment after he realised he had walked for several minutes, he tried to work out where he was. Using the tapestry's on the wall he knew he was close to the library. With a sigh he walked over to the nearby window which looked out over the grounds and towards the lake. Hoisting himself up he sat on the large stone window still and looked out at the way the moon lit up the nights sky.
"Find the moon fascinating, Potter?" asked almost right next to him. Jumping out of shock he quickly turned, wand clutched ready before he realised it was just a girl in his year, Daphne Greengrass, Slytherin. She didn't look the way most Slytherin's did when the looked at him, they almost always had scowls. Instead, she had an almost smile.
Harry had to admit that he had had a crush on Daphne since first year. She was one of the most beautiful girls in his year, if not the whole of Hogwarts, at least in Harry's opinion. She didn't try to make herself look nicer by plastering on layers of make-up, it was mostly all natural.
Harry shrugged, "I guess" he muttered. "It was helping me get my mind of a few things" he said quietly as he looked out of the window again.
"Like the tournament?" she asked moving he head in a way to almost try and get Harry to look at her. "I still don't get why someone would put your name in, some people must really hate you, Potter" she said with a small laugh.
Harry turned to look at her, "You mean you don't think I put my own name in?" he asked looking at her with a slight smile.
Daphne shook her head, "Your face when your name was called was proof enough for me, no one could have faked that" she said, "and I doubt you actually want attention like that. From what I can tell, you hate the amount you get already".
"Thanks" Harry smiled as he looked at her.
She smiled back, "No problem Harry" she said putting her hand on his shoulder, "See you around" she smile as she walked away.
"Yeah, see you Daphne" he smiled in return.
