7) Understanding
Bending down, Harry picked something off the floor. A necklace Harry expected picking it up, before placing it in his pocket; he looked at it more closely the memory of sitting next to Asia at St. Mary's came in to his mind. So this is where the other half went to, Harry thought to himself. Stuffing it in his pocket Harry headed to his dormitory and went to bed. When Harry finally woke, Herminie and Ron were already in the common room waiting for him. Slinking out of bed Harry dressed into his robes and headed down to the common room. Deep in conversation, Harry slunk by Herminie and Ron and went unnoticed down to the hall way in which Caitlin disappeared. Searching again for her, Harry finally gave up. Starting to stride away, Harry thought it would be nice to go and visit Dobby on a more personal note this time. So Harry headed to the bowl of fruit portrait and tickled the pear for entrance. Looking all around at the house elves hard at work Harry noticed something very unusual.
"Hello there Harry," Dobby said his eyes full of happiness.
"Hi Dobby," Harry drew his gaze from the hard working lot.
"What is Harry doing down here at this hour?" Dobby asked, hoping it to be that Harry just wanted to see him.
"Oh no real reason Dobby but…" Harry paused as he saw the unusual presence of a person. "Who is that?" Harry demanded more so then ask.
"Uh, uh, uh well that is," Dobby sputtered out. Harry already knew the answer and walked passed Dobby towards the figure.
"Caitlin! We were so worried" Harry spout out at Caitlin, concern filling his voice as he spoke. Looking startled Caitlin turned her head and quickly snapped it back. Knowing that it was Harry Caitlin froze. Staring at Caitlin for awhile Harry realized that she was covered in flour. Blushing Caitlin seemed to notice Harry's confused look.
"Flour," Caitlin said casually. "Hey sorry about yesterday," not needing to explain her self Harry nodded his head and gestured to the door. "One sec," Caitlin said while slipping out of Harry's sight. Hoping she hadn't vanished like last night, Harry followed her and walked into a room full of beds.
"Excuse me!" Caitlin gasped hiding in the far corner.
"Oh sorry," Harry said blushing madly. He been about to walk in on Caitlin changing, feeling very stupid Harry started apologizing out in the hall way.
"It's ok Harry," Caitlin replied, still feeling stupid Harry sheepishly said ok.
"Ok let's go," Harry heard Caitlin. Harry didn't look at her; still blushing he turned so she wouldn't see. "It's ok Harry," Caitlin said sweetly, touching his shoulder carefully Caitlin turned him around and smiled "It's ok." Harry seemed to believe her and agreed.
"Well now that that is over with," Harry heard Caitlin say. "Let's go," and with that Harry was being dragged out of the room. Seeing that Caitlin changed into her new Gryffindor robes both walked down to the Great Hall and met up with Ron and Herminie.
