Chapter 4

The following day Harry only saw Lyn in the Great Hall, during meals. They only managed a wave or a short hello. When Harry waved to her at dinner that night she broke into a smile and waved back.

"Who's that?" Ron asked.

"Just a girl I almost ran over in the hall yesterday." Harry replied.

"Does this girl have a name?" Hermione asked, looking curiously at the way Harry was eyeing the girl.

"Evelyn, but most people call her Lyn. Or that's what she says." Harry answered turning his attention back to his plate.

"She kind of looks familiar. I think she was in one of my classes in third year." Hermione commented. "If I remember correctly she seemed really friendly."

"Yeah, she is. We got to talking and she said she would like to hang out with us sometime." Harry timidly said.

Ron elbowed Harry in the ribs and said, "Way to go mate. 'Bout time you had a girlfriend."

"Oh, shut up. I barely know her!" Harry snapped.

"I was only kidding Harry, but you have to admit she is kind of pretty." Ron exclaimed.

"Excuse me?" Hermione glared at Ron

"Oh, come on Hermione, that doesn't mean you're not pretty too!" Ron defended.

Here we go again, Harry thought as he smirked while his two best friends had a friendly banter.
