Hunter got up and wrote to Hallie. He told her how he loved her fun, random personality, and that she could actually hold an intellectual conversation. There was also that thing about her being the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. That did seem a bit extreme, but everything was extreme about his feelings towards her. He still didn't know how or why these feelings were so extreme. They had just met! This is crazy!

Summer was drawing to a close quickly. Hunter had to return home before going off to his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The last week at his grandfather's was uneventful. There were no letters from Hallie. He missed her, a lot. Though he tried to tell her that he was imagining things when he thought about her so much.

"Well, have fun at school this year, kiddo. Don't get in too much trouble," Neville said as his grandson was preparing to leave for home.

"I never get in trouble, Grandpa. I'm one of those good kids," Hunter laughed as he said this. He hugged his grandfather and said, "I love you, Grandpa. See you over break."

"I love you too, bud."

With a loud pop Hunter Disapparated onto a semi-busy London street. He landed and wobbled a little, still not used to the sensation. During his several hours of thinking he came up with a plan. He had to see Hallie one more time before going to Hogwarts for the year. The plan was genius! Hunter doubted whether a Ravenclaw could come up with a smarter plan. It was also , what he thought, a very romantic plan. He got the idea from a really old Muggle movie that he watched one night with his grandfather. The movie was called Say Anything.

Hunter went across the street into a dark alley to retrieve what he had hidden only the night before. He picked up what the Muggles called a boombox. This was an extremely old music player. The plan had been about a week in the making. He had to find one of these boomboxes, and how to use it. Luckily the old man who owned the pawn shop he bought it from knew exactly how it worked. Almost forgetting the music, Hunter had to go back to the same man. Once again luck was on his side as the man had the exact song Hunter needed.

"Oh no!" Hunter thought. "What if she wasn't home?" He snuck up to the side of the house only to see Hallie sitting in her pajamas on the couch watching the television. Hunter couldn't help but stare at her for a moment. She looked gorgeous. Her hair was very messy and she wasn't wearing any makeup. She looked perfect. Pulling himself away from the window, Hunter prepared the boombox and set it on the ground. He pointed it towards the window. It was now or never. He pressed play.

(In your eyes)
the light the heat
(In your eyes)
I am complete
(In your eyes)
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
(In your eyes)
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
(In your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat
(In your eyes)

The brunette girl's head popped out of the window to see where the music was coming from. In front of her was Hunter with a big smile on his face. He shut off the music and walked to the window.

"What are you doing here? What was with the music? Oh no. You can't see me like this. I look terrible!" Hallie was spluttering out questions until Hunter interrupted her.

"Stop it. You look gorgeous. I don't know what you're talking about looking 'terrible.' That's insane. I just wanted to see you before I went back home. I thought you might like the music but i guess not-" he trailed off.

"No! I loved it! It was a really sweet idea. I'm glad you came over," she said. Before Hunter knew what was going on she had leaned out the window and gave him a hug. She almost fell out the window, but Hunter caught her.

"Thanks," she replied with a smile.

"I would never let you fall," he said back to her. This gave her an even bigger smile.

"Well, I really need to be getting home now. Will I get to see you during Christmas?" She nodded and smiled. This time it was Hunter who went in for a hug and was surprised when he received a quick kiss on the cheek, making him blush. They said their final good-byes then Hunter turned on his heel to leave. Hallie stopped him.

"Hunter! Wait!" She turned and ran back through the house and returned with a letter. "Here, I thought this would be easier than sending Dirk." She smiled at him and, he returned the smile, taking the letter.

"Bye."

"Bye. I'll write back as soon as I can," he called as he was walking away.

"Don't lie to me!" she shouted back, waving. Hunter then went back to the dark alley and Disapparated back home with a large grin on his face.
