Hagrid shoveled the seaweed in the empty pool and put them in the trash. He found a chain that caught his attention, it was gold and had a pearl on the bottom.

He then looked under a pile of seaweed and found a white gem and compared the two. It was interesting.

Cho opened the door to her house with Luna and Hermione following her inside.

Hermione gasped when she saw a display of a fish skeleton on a shelf.

"Creepy, right? My mom collects this stuff." Cho explained.

"What does your mom do?" Hermione asked her when she examined a picture of Cho and her mom.

"Besides ruin my life? She's a marine biologist."

Luna nodded, "Yeah. She's all scientific."

Cho walked into her room, "More like horrific. She's dragged me all over the country for her job! She's been working to clean up the water in the bay here."

Luna and Hermione took a seat, "Well, her thanks for me because it tastes about ten times better than it did a few years ago."

Cho raised her eyebrows, "Really? Huh. Okay, first things first-"

Hermione looked at Cho's fish.

"Um, Hermione, what are you doing?"

She saw her fish hiding, "He doesn't like this harsh light." She took the lamb and swung it away from the fish bowl.

Her fish swam out of the decoration, "Moby! He came out of hiding!" Cho felt happy that he was out in the open.

Luna was impressed, "Wow. Can you make boobs come out of hiding?"

Hermione and Cho laughed.

"Okay. We begin where every girl starts with her first crush. We call him." She picked up the blue phone.

Hermione gasped, "Call him? What? No, I can't. What am I supposed to say to him?"

Luna sat beside Cho, "Nothing. You just call and hang up."

"Why?"

"I don't know. It's just what you do." Cho said.

Hermione slowly nodded. "Okay."

Cho started dialing Ron's number. Hermione was nervous, "Wait a minute."

Cho held the phone to her ear, "It's ringing."

Hermione squealed excitedly and grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" It was Ron's voice.

Hermione screamed and hung up the phone. She threw it out the window. "That was fantastic! Let's do it again!"

Luna covered her mouth, laughing along with Cho.

The girls rode their bicycles on the street. Hermione sat on the handlebars of Luna's bicycle.

"Okay, the next step here is the ride-by. Very important in any crush." Cho explained.

Luna looked at Hermione, "Now remember. You have to act casual."

Cho motioned her hand, "Yes, like you didn't even remember this was his street."

Hermione smiled and nodded. The girls began riding down the quiet street. The houses had palm trees in the front lawn. They passed by a small white house that resembled a beach house.

Luna pointed it out to Hermione. "That's Ron's house!" She said excitedly. The girls giggled as they passed his house back and forth on the street. Hermione looked in the house to see if he was inside. They all giggled each time they passed his house.

Ron was doing sit-ups in his room on the second floor. He groaned in pain each time he went up, "Oh this hurts. But it'll be worth it."

He couldn't help but wonder what was going on outside. He heard noises but he must have been imagining. He sat up when he heard giggling. He walked over to the window, "What the?"

He looked outside but didn't see anyone. He lifted the weight from the stack by his window. He saw Hermione on the bike and smiled. She looked at his window again and noticed he was there. He waved at her, causing her to twist the handle bar.

"Hermione, no, that's the-" Luna's bike tires screeched "Brake!"

Hermione gasped as she fell forward and landed on the stone path in the front of the house. Ron gasped when she fell and quickly ran downstairs.

Luna and Cho ran to her side, "Hermione! Are you okay?"

Hermione seemed fine as she happily picked herself up, "I saw him. Did you see him? He waved at me!"

Ron appeared when he opened the gate, "Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?"

Luna smiled "Hey Ron."

He looked up at the blonde, "Hey." He turned his gaze back to Hermione.

Luna excitedly grabbed Cho's arms, "Oh my God!" She whispered.

Hermione looked at him, "We didn't even remember this was your street!"

He let out a small laugh, "Yeah, okay let's see what you got here." He examined her scraped knee and gasped. "Ah, nothing to serious. You run it under some cold water, you'll be-"

Hermiome waved her hands, "No, no, no, no, no!"

Ron raised his hands, "Hey, hey! I wouldn't hurt you." He said calmly.

Hermione nodded nervously.

He reached into his back pocket, "All right, let me at least put a Band-Aid on it. Yeah?"

She nodded. "Aww!" Luna said to Cho. Cho smiled at the couple.

He took his wallet out and took out a bandage, "Lifeguard's always prepared, right?" He placed the Band-Aid on her knee, "This won't hurt a bit. There you go. Voila!"

Hermione smiled at the Band-Aid. "Thank you. It's, it's beautiful."

Ron laughed, "So um, what was your name?"

"Hermione." She said.

He nodded, "Cool name. Will I see you at the street fair today?"

Hermione nodded. There was the sound of girls whooping and a car honking. "I love this song!"

"Oh, no!" Luna said to Cho when she realized it was Lavender and her friends in a pink car.

Cho stuck her hands in her pockets, "Who ordered broom service?"

Lavender waved at Ron, "Hey Ron! I'm here for my driving lesson." Ron raised his hand to her, letting her know he got the message.

"Let's get you up." He picked Hermione up by her arm. "You going to be all right?"

Hermione nodded again.

"Okay, cool." He looked at Lavender, "All right, hey, hang on one sec. I gotta go grab my keys!"

He looked at Hermione again, "So, I'll see you later?" As he backed away, he tripped on a rock, "Oh, rock. Be careful." He said awkwardly.

Hermione looked over at Lavender and her friends, "Who is she?"

"Lavender." Cho said. "She thinks she's the shiz because her dad does the weather."

"Her dad can make weather?" Hermione put her hand on her hip.

Luna laughed, "No, he just reports it."

Hermione looked at her license plate. "And she's a princess?"

"No, no, no. Just a royal bitch." Cho said coldly.

Hermione laughed, "Then why are you so intimidated?"

Lavender pulled up beside the girls. She pulled down her sunglasses, "Whoa."

She turned to Fleur who was in the passenger seat. "Hey guys, does she have something against girls clothes?"

She pointed at Hermione. Her friends laughed as Lavender looked at Hermione. "Nice hair. Who are you?"

"Hermione." Luna answered her. "She's my cousin."

Ginny looked at her from the back seat. "Well, that's kind of pretty."

Lavender scoffed, "For a dog!"

"My name is derived from the Greek god Hermes. The son of Zeus and nephew of Poseidon, god of the sea. Whereas Lavender comes from the latin word, 'lavare' which translated means, 'to wash'." She said.

Lavender looked at her disapprovingly.

Hermione shrugged, "But your parents know you better than I do."

"Wow." Cho said.

Lavender frowned, "What did you just say to me?"

Hermione turned to Cho and nodded, "Yup, she's definitely clueless."

Lavender laughed and started the engine but it boomed and stalled.

Hermione, Luna, and Cho bursted out laughing and high fived each other. Lavender groaned. The girls took their bicycles and walked away. Luna waved goodbye to Lavender.

Lavender looked at Hermione as she walked away, "There's something very fishy about that girl."

The girls went to Luna's house. Luna was still laughing. "Lavender Brown blew a gasket!"

Hermione sighed, "Who cares about her? What about Ron?" She shut the door when they went in Luna's room. "What happened to me back there? I was such a clam! I couldn't think!"

"Don't worry. Everything we've learned about boys has come from the pages of these magazines." She held up a pile of magazines and smiled, "Come on."

Cho and Luna put two piles of magazines on Luna's bed.

"I can't stop thinking about him. I feel so weird and tingly." Hermione picked up a Cosmopolitan magazine and gasped.

"What?" Luna asked frantically.

"Look at my finger scales!"

Luna grabbed her left hand while Cho looked at her right hand. Hermione's fingers changed from white to purple. "They've never been this color before! They change color with my mood."

"Whoa. Weird!" Luna said looking at her fingernails.

Hermiome shook her head, "But I don't know what mood this is!"

"Love!" Luna and Cho sang teasily. Hermione smiled.

"Okay. Start reading. We have a lot to cover before we go to the street fair." Cho told Hermione.

Hermione picked up the magazine and started reading. She read articles about love, breakups, and tips on flirting. Cho guided her through the magazines and what they were saying.

After half an hour they have gone through all the magazines, Hermione grew frustrated and threw the magazine in the pile. "How do you remember all this? You have to be, flirty but demure?"

"Yeah." Luna nodded.

"Devoted but not desperate?"

Cho nodded.

"Available but elusive? And if he calls Wednesday for Saturday, you have to be busy even though you're free?" She questioned.

Luna and Cho nodded, "Yeah."

"It's so annoying!" Hermione grabbed another magazine. "Yet strangely addictive."

Luna tried taking the magazine away from her but Hermione pulled it from her.

"I think she's on the brink of a boy data overload!" Cho said.

Luna eventually snagged the magazine away from Hermione.

Luna looked at Cho, "Let's take her out."
