CHAPTER ONE: THE SECRET'S OUT
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron and Hermione have a small apartment next door to Lav and Pansy, and Harry and Parvati are renting a room in the leaky cauldron, while they search for an apartment. Draco also has his own apartment across the hall from Ron and Hermione. Now, Harry is a professional Quidditch player for the Chudley Cannons. Parvati does weekly singing performances at the leaky cauldron. Hermione is filling in as the arithmancy professor since professor Vector (sp?) retired. Ron writes articles for the daily prophet, which often make the front page. Draco is the new defense against the dark arts professor, and Pansy works behind the counter at Honeydukes sweet shop. (I think that covers it all!! LoL)
"Harry, cupcake, we're going to be late if you don't hurry up!!" Shouted Parvati.
"I KNOW Parvati, gimme a break!!" said an exasperated Harry through the bathroom door. He busied himself with his necktie, thinking about how great it would be if Parvati got off his back. They were meeting Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Lavender at an elegant restaurant in Diagon alley called "The Peppermill".
"Sweetie, they were expecting up 10 minutes ago!!" said Parvati, banging loudly on the bathroom door.
"Okay, I'm coming." Said Harry. He and Parvati weren't exactly the "it" couple.they actually quite often got on each other's nerves. Harry opened the door, and saw Parvati in a dark blue silk dress that came a little past her knees. He wasn't going to lie.Parvati was gorgeous, but he couldn't help but think that there was someone else out there that would be a better match for him.
"Alright, we better get going." Said Parvati, checking her watch nervously. "Can't you do ANYTHING about your hair?"
"I've already told you, it's a waste of time trying to get it to lie flat. Lets just leave!" said Harry, wanting more than anything to discuss with Ron his problems with Parvati, So the two of them apparated straight to the Peppermill.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*At the Peppermill~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry and Parvati arrived in the restaurant, looking around for they're friends. Parvati spotted them straight away at a large table off to the right, and dragged Harry along behind her. Harry couldn't help but notice Hermione, with her hair pulled up, and looking stunning in a light purple evening gown. Ron was wearing a tux similar to Harry's, and he looked as miserable as Harry felt. Lavender was sitting next to Draco, and they seemed to be chatting about Seamus.
"I guess he decided he'd rather be with a bunch of scaly lizards then with me" said Lav, looking down sadly.
"What a shame", said Draco sincerely, "Pansy and I.we didn't work very hard on our relationship.I suppose that's why we're no longer together." He had a pained look on his face, as if just the thought of Pansy made him want to go to her and apologize about whatever happened between them, and that he wanted to start over.
"Ron, Hermione, you guys look fabulous!" said Parvati, kissing Ron on the cheek and hugging Hermione. Harry looked at Ron behind Parvati and rolled his eyes. Ron looked puzzled.
"So what have you two been up to? Got any..plans?" asked Hermione, trying hard not to glance at Harry. She seemed to be unnaturally jittery.as if something was making her very nervous.
"I've got a big Quidditch game coming up.not many plans in our.uh.relationship." Said Harry nervously, making a sideways glance toward Parvati.
"Harry, honey, don't be silly, we must tell them!" Said Parvati eagerly.
"WAIT, PARVATI, NO!!" said Harry, who had a frightened look on his face.
"We're engaged!" shouted Parvati, with her hand over Harry's mouth. Harry fell limp on the spot, staring blankly around the table. Nearly everyone was gaping at them with their mouths open. Ron mouthed the words "bloody hell". Hermione was looking right into Harry's eyes, and he knew instantly what she was thinking. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and she quickly looked down and wiped them away. She whispered something to Ron and the two of them stood up.
"Sorry, mates, we'd better be going" Said Ron Hastily, looking longingly down at his plate of spaghetti. Hermione took his hand and hurried out of the Peppermill.
"Well, Harry.I guess I'm not the only one who isn't with the right person." Said Draco, looking after Ron and Hermione. Then he got up, and followed them out of the restaurant. Parvati had a look of pure disgust on her face.
"Well, I'd better be going also.Pansy doesn't have a key to the apartment yet.and she'll be getting home from work soon. I'll see you later." Said Lav quietly, and she also left, leaving Harry to face Parvati, and wishing that he were anywhere else but here.
