One day in June after exams were over Harry and Jody were in the Gryffindor common room alone. Everyone else was outside enjoying the sun, but Harry and Jody were celebrating the end of exams together inside.

"I'm still wondering how you got the cake and butterbeer," Jody said.

They were sitting on the sofa in front of the hearth, music playing softly in the background, and the sun bathing the common room a golden light.

"Never you mind, Jody," said Harry, tapping her nose with his index finger, "I might tell you one day."

"Tell me now," said Jody, moving closer to him.

"Alright," Harry gave in.

He looked around as if expecting an eavesdropper, then whispered, "the kitchens."

"The kitchens!" yelped Jody.

Harry shushed her. "Don't screaming it, Jody," he said.

Jody apologized. "Did the chef give you the cake and butterbeer?"

"Not chef," Harry said, "house-elves. They'll give you anything you ask for."

"I want to see," said Jody, standing up.

"Right now?" asked Harry also standing up.

Jody nodded.

"I don't want to go right now, Jody," Harry said, sitting back down.

"Fine, said Jody, "then I'll see you around, Harry." And she walked up to the girls' dormitory.

Three weeks later, Jody was walking around with Hermione, Ginny, and Ron. They were looking for Harry.

"Where could he be?" Jody asked furiously, rounding the corner; Hermione, Ginny, and Ron walking in her wake.

"Jody, he might be in the bathroom or library or... " Hermione began.

"Or he might be cheating on me with Cho or Amethyst," Jody cut in.

"You don't know that," said Ginny as she jogged to keep up.

"Neither do you," Jody snapped.

They entered the Entrance Hall, where Jody saw Amethyst and Malfoy making out. She rolled her eyes up at the ceiling. As they walked out of the castle, Jody spotted Harry and Cho sitting together under the big oak tree near the Great Lake. Their heads were bent close together.

"Harry!" Jody yelled, marching over to them and stopping before them, arms folded.

"Jody," Harry said, quickly getting to his feet, "this isn't what it looks like, I swear."

"What are you doing with her?" Jody said, pointing at Cho.

"We were only talking, Jody," said Cho, "Look, I'll see you around, Harry." And she left.

"You promised," Jody said, plopping down at the base of the oak tree. "Don't you remember? We sat under this very tree in out first year."

"Yeah," said Harry, remembering.

Jody looked back on that faithful day where she met Harry for the first time ever.

It was another chilly winters day. Jody walked across the grounds toward her favorite place: the big oak tree near the Great Lake. She sat down and looked out across the lake, thinking of the Christmas holidays where she would be going home to be with her mother, father, and the rest of her family.

Hermione and Amethyst were in the library finishing homework, which sounded dull. As Jody took out a book from her bag, she heard laughter coming from the other side of the tree. She looked around to see two boys around her age sitting there laughing. One had red hair and the other had untidy black hair.

"Hey, this is my tree. Go find your own," Jody said, standing up as the two boys looked around at her.

"No," said the red headed boy, rather rudely. He had a freckly face, big hands and feet.

"Please," Jody begged, "I want to be alone."

"No, we were here first. Go find your own tree," said the red headed boy.

"Okay," said the black headed boy. He had round glasses and clearly visible through his fringe was a thin scar shaped like a bolt of lightening. It was a very unique scar. "C'mon, Ron."

And as they started to walk away, Jody called them back, "wait a minute, who are you guys?"

The red headed boy - Ron - looked annoyed. "You just told us to go away," he said as they came back.

"Well, I want to know you names," said Jody, "what are they?"

They looked at her for a moment.

"I'm Ron Weasley," said the red headed boy reluctantly.

"I'm Harry Potter," said the black headed boy.

Jody gaped at him for a moment.

"You're the famous Harry Potter!" she practically squealed.

The famous Harry Potter nodded. "What's your name?"

"Jody Adams," she replied.

"Do you have any friends?" asked Ron.

Jody had a funny feeling someone was looking at her.

"Yes," said Jody, looking at Harry who looked away quickly toward the snow covered ground.

"How many?" asked Ron.

"Two."

"What are their names?"

"Amethyst Riddle and Hermione Granger."

Jody looked at Harry. He was staring at her again. She thought he liked her.

"Where are they?" said Ron, looking around as if expecting them to materialize before him.

"In the library," Jody said, "doing homework and studying for a test." She couldn't keep her eyes off Harry.

"That sounds boring," said Harry. It was the first time he had said anything since he told Jody his name.

"Well, it's not," said a voice from behind them. They all looked around. Hermione and Amethyst were walking toward them.

"There you are, Jody," said Amethyst, stopping before them.

"You said you'd be in the common room," said Hermione.

"I know," said Jody, "but it was too noisy in there."

"Okay. Did you get anything done?" asked Amethyst. Neither Hermione nor Amethyst seemed to have noticed Harry and Ron, who were both still standing there.

Jody shook her heading, suddenly feeling ashamed.

"We're all done with our homework," boasted Amethyst.

"I don't care. I'll finish mine eventually."

Jody and Amethyst began to argue.

"C'mon, you two," Hermione said, exasperatedly, "let's go argue over here."

Once out of earshot, Hermione said, "So who were they, Jody?"

"Who?" Jody asked.

"Those two boys you were just talking to."

"Oh, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter," Jody said offhandedly.

"I think Harry likes you," Hermione observed.

"What do you mean?" asked Jody, blushing.

"He didn't take his eyes off you," Hermione said as if it were obvious.

Jody giggled.

"Harry was not looking at Jody," Amethyst said, "he was looking at me because he noticed how pretty I look today."

"Amethyst, you git," said Hermione, "let Jody have the hot one this time. You got the hot one four times in a row."

"So?" said Amethyst, "I can't help it that I'm more beautiful than Jody."

Jody rolled her eyes at her.

"C'mon, Jody," Hermione said, grabbing her hand, "let's go ask Harry who he was really looking at."

They started to walk back toward Harry and Ron; Amethyst at their heels.

"Harry," Hermione said, and he turned around, "we want to know who you were looking at. Jody or Amethyst."

Harry looked at Jody, whose heart was beating wildly in her chest. Then at Amethyst, who had a smug look on her face. Then back again.

"Jody, of course," admitted Harry.

Jody grinned. Amethyst mouth hung open in shock and disbelief.

"You love her!? That's impossible! No one loves her! She isn't even pretty! You're just saying that because you feel sorry for her!"

"No, I really do love her," Harry said, honestly, "she's very beautiful and funny.

Amethyst shrieked with laughter. "Who are you comparing her with? A gnome? That fat toad Umbrigde? A freaking dementor?"

"No, I truly do love her," said Harry, then he rounded on Amethyst, "and you, person, are as ugly as a gnome, Umbridge, and a dementor combined."

Amethyst gasped offendedly, shine kicked Harry, then stormed back to the castle. Jody knew she would be hearing about this later.

Jody came back to the real world.

"We meet under this tree. Because of you, Amethyst is no longer my friend," she said.

"After we finish school, Jody, we'll get married and live happily ever after until the very end," Harry promised, "I love you and always will."

"I love you, too."

Harry kissed Jody as a light rain fell and a harsh wind blew North. Every thought wiped from her mind. She didn't about getting soaked from the rain. She loved Harry and always would.

But they did not know that Amethyst was threatening to take their happily ever after. She stood behind that very tree, watching their every move. When Jody and Harry began to kiss, Amethyst threw their best friends forever ring to the ground and stormed away.
