"Hey, Harry," Casey said as she stepped from behind him from the D.J. stand.
"Hey, Casey. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. So do you want to go and get a coffee or something? I need to get out of here."
"Yeah. Are you sure that you're ok?"
"Yes, ok? Hey, Gin, are you here as the D.J. every night?"
" Yeah, just about. Why?"
"Well I was wondering when the next theme night is?"
"Well, there's one every Friday. This coming Friday, there's going to be poetry readings you should come. It's fun."
"I love poetry. I'll see you Friday then. Bye"
"Oh, and Casey, If there is no scheduled theme for a night, it automatically becomes a Karaoke night. Just thought you'd like to know that. You have one hell of a voice."
"Thanks"
"No problem."
Casey sent a text to Emily:
'Hey, I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Please don't try and call me. I'm not going to answer. Later, Casey'

Derek saw Casey leave with Harry and got a little jealous about them being together. He brushed it off though. Derek Venturi does not get jealous over a girl being with a guy. Even when it is Casey.

As Harry and her walked out the door, she felt the cold Canadian air hit her face and she smiled.
"So, Harry what brings you to Canada? I can hear your accent, as faint as it is, so I know your not form these parts."
"Oh, well just needed to get way from England for a bit. Was that your first night in the club?"
"Um, yeah. My friend wanted to go, and it was karaoke night, so I couldn't resist. Ah, this way" she pointed left. She knew of a small coffee shop down the street from the club, and that's where she was leading them.
"Ginny's really cool. You should hang out with us some time."
"Who? Wait you mean Gin, right?"
"Yeah, she didn't want the whole club to know her name so, she said the short version."
"Oh, well is Ginny short for anything?
"Well, that, my dear, you'll have to find out from her. I'd lose a part of my body I would not care to lose if I told you anything about her name."
"Ok. I don't want you to lose a body part because of my curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat, but in this case it would be curiosity killed the…what part of your body would you lose?"
"Um…I'd rather not tell you…"
"Oh, come on. You can tell me. I won't tell anyone."
"Fine, but you are going to have to stop walking so I can tell you."
"Um…ok." She stopped and waited for Harry to tell her.
"Well…you wanted to know so…" he leaned forward to whisper in her ear. She gasped.
"Oh…well…" she blushed.
"Casey?" he was still very close to her.
"Hmm?"
"Do you like me?" he whispered.
"Why would you ask that?" she said in a hushed tone.
"Because you seem more embarrassed that you didn't guess it before I told you," He stepped forward as he spoke. "And because I like you." He whispered just loud enough for her to hear him.
"Well, Harry, that is very forward of you."
"That's not a problem is it?" he asked as he pulled away slightly so that he didn't scare her.
"No. Not at all." She said, still whispering, as she leaned up to kiss him. He deepened the kiss, but she pulled away before it got too far.
"Harry," she whispered.
"Hmm?" was his response.
"Let's go somewhere that isn't the street, shall we?"
"Yes, let's"
She didn't want to take him to her house, so they went to his. He lived with a few friends of his, so they were quiet.
"Now, Casey, I have to tell you something before we go any further."
"Oh no. You have a girlfriend don't you?"
"No. I don't have a girlfriend. Well, at least not yet," he said as he looked at her, hoping she would catch on.
"Then what is it? You can tell me anything"
"Well...I don't know how to say what I am about to say to you, but I have to tell you. I'm a wizard, and I grew up with everyone that I live with now. Well I didn't know them for the first eleven years of my life, but they are my family. What I have left of it. Ginny is like a little sister to me, as well as all of her brothers being like brothers to me. They are all really good friends of mine. Well, most of them, but I'll get into that later. Now, I want you to believe me. I'll get in a lot of trouble for telling you, but all of my friends and I are on the run form a very powerful wizard whose name I can not say, for if I do he will find us. Do you promise not to tell anyone?"
"Yes, Harry, I promise. I don't really believe what you are saying, but I won't tell anyone."
"Well I expected that you wouldn't believe me, but I had to tell you before we got to involved."
"Maybe I'll come to believe you one day, but I really just need to be alone to think about all of what you said. I'll give you my number so that you can call me, but I really need to think all of this over." She quickly wrote down her number to her cell phone, left it, and walk out the door. She was trying to breath steadily to calm down, but it wasn't working like she had hoped.
Harry sighed. He wished it had gone a bit better, but he wasn't expecting her to believe him anyways. Well at least not fully.
