Brian whistled happily while walking through Hogsmead. He had just gotten out of a relationship, it was Christmas break, and he was in his sixth year. When he saw a pack of girls he did a sort of hopp skip over a small wall and landed in front of them. He bowed gracefully.

"Ladies," he said, they laughed and walked off "Peeshaw". He wasn't put down; there were plenty of fish in the sea. And then there came the finest catch. He stared as Miss Hermione Granger strode down the isle of old shops. While admiring her astonishing beauty he inadvertently fell…. Into a barrel….. of water……… in the winter! Hermione heard the splash and walked over to the barrel. Brian popped out of his barrel and said

"Um, h-h-h-hi" he stuttered. She smiled and asked

"Cold?" she helped him out of the barrel and onto the snow. "Have I seen you before?"

"Yeah, I think we h-h-h-have a f-f-few classes t-together" he managed to spit out. That was a lie, they had every class together, and he was in Gryphndor.

"Aren't you in Gryphndor?" she asked. He nodded and she sighed in relief "Do you think you could help me, my friends asked me to help with the Christmas party, then bailed, will you maybe help?" He couldn't resist those eyes so he nodded again. She smiled and said "Ok, then I'll see you tonight?" He nodded, again. She turned and walked away. He wanted to call out to her, but he couldn't. He whistled as soon as she was out of ear shot.

"Well, ladies, I'm off the market" he said, then he turned and muttered "I hope."

I'm not good at these last comment things. Ya like it?
