Chapter 10
The next day Harry woke up and went down to the Common Room. Alex was already there drawing industriously.
He smiled and went to her "No nightmares?"
She looked up and smiled "No"
He smiled "What are you drawing now?"
She held up the picture and he looked. There fully drawn accurately was a picture of him riding a broom catching the golden snitch. His friends were on the field smiling and she was too.
He smiled and said, "Let's go down for breakfast."
She nodded and they headed down to the Great Hall. They got there and sat down with Ron and Hermione.
"What's up?" asked Harry
"Nothing" they said
"How's the nightmares?" asked Hermione
"No nightmares" said Harry referring to him and Alex
His friends smiled in relief.
Harry continued eating. When breakfast was over as he walked to class he led Alex to the Entrance Hall where they would meet Dobby. When Dobby arrived he left her to him and then he would go to class. When the break came for him he would meet Dobby in the Entrance Hall and would take Alex. They were in their Common Room Harry doing some work and Alex listening to her Mp3 player.
Ron and Hermione came in "Hey, mate" Ron said
Harry looked up "Hey"
They sat down
"How's the homework?" asked Hermione
"Doing good" reported Harry
They looked and saw Alex listening happily to her music. They smiled thinking how cute she was and did their work. Soon Alex took her headphones off unbeknownst to the trio and observed them. She smiled at the fact that she could spend a whole year with them and observed Harry and Hermione closely. She could tell that one of them fancied the other, but wouldn't show it and smirked. Even though she was four years old she had the mind of an eight year old and tried to plot something that will get those two together somehow. She went back and listened to her music thinking that her babysitter could help her on her scheme. When break was over they went to the Great Hall for lunch. They sat down and ate their food. Alex had her notebook and was drawing something.
Harry looked at her "What are you doing?"
Alex looked at him "Nothing" she said as innocently as possible
The trio chuckled and kept eating. Unbeknownst to the trio she was actually drawing a picture of Harry and Hermione together. She smiled admiring her masterpiece and hopefully if they see it Ron wouldn't feel left out. She then hatched up something and drew a picture of Ron and Harry carrying Hermione by the legs and back. She smiled chuckling a bit causing the trio to look suspicious. She caught their tone and quickly hid the paper so they couldn't see it. They chuckled at her innocent state and just were finishing eating. She smiled relieved and stored her notebook in a nice place. They had class next and Harry led Alex to the Entrance Hall. Dobby soon came and Harry left Alex there and went to his class.
"Dobby, I need a favor," said Alex
Dobby looked willing "What is the miss wanting?"
"What do you think of Harry and Hermione?" she asked
Dobby's face immediately lit up "Dobby thinks Harry Potter is a great, great boy and Miss. Hermione Granger is a kind and helpful young girl."
Alex smiled "Great, listen how do you think they sound as a couple."
Dobby smiled "I think that would be just a treat and very splendid."
Alex smiled "Well, I noticed Harry has been eyeing Hermione for quite a while and I think that he likes her."
Dobby beamed "Oh! How excellent! Dobby has been waiting to see if they would go somewhere."
"Yeah, but the thing is Hermione doesn't know Harry likes her, which means one of the things. Harry is too stubborn to come open with his feelings. I want to help them get together, but I might need your help." Explained Alex
Dobby smiled "Of course miss! Dobby is happy to help you and Harry Potter in anyway he can."
Alex smiled "Great, so how should we start?"
Dobby shrugged "Dobby thinks perhaps a Hogsmeade weekend?"
Alex looked inspired knowing about the village "That's perfect!"
Dobby smiled "there is one problem miss. Harry Potter has a friend Wheezy, what about him?"
Alex thought for a moment then knew he meant Weasley and that meant Ron. "I don't know, maybe he could find someone."
Dobby beamed "This is great plan miss! Dobby is excited to find out when they will get together."
Alex smiled "We'll get there Dobby."
They spend the whole time planning and thinking until Harry came to pick them up. He got Alex and they went to dinner. They got to the Great Hall and sat down.
Ron and Hermione were already there eating. "How do you like hanging out with Dobby, Alex?" asked Hermione
Alex looked and smiled "Awesome"
The trio smiled unaware of the toddler's mischievous face. They finished their supper and were in the Common Room doing their homework. Alex was writing in her notebook diligently. She then remembered that she needed to give Ron an interview. She got a fresh page and wrote everything she knew about him.
She then turned to the trio "Interview?"
The trio remembered and looked at her smiling "Ok." Ron was waiting and doing his homework at the same time
Alex began asking questions "Favorite Quidditch team?"
"The Chudley Cannons" said Ron
Alex wrote it down. "What's your worst fear?"
Unbeknownst to her Harry and Hermione coughed 'Spiders'. Ron glared at them and said "Spiders"
Alex smiled and wrote it down. "All time required charm?"
"Confundus" answered Ron writing an answer in his homework
Alex looked at him "Right." She said writing it down
The trio was halfway done with their homework by now.
"Floo Powder, Portkey or Broom?" Alex asked
Ron was really thinking hard on this then decided, "Broom"
Alex wrote it down. "What is your most prized possession?"
"My Cleansweep Eleven" said Ron
Harry stifled a laugh and Hermione looked disapprovingly at Ron. Alex looked at Ron and shook her head writing it down.
She hesitated before going on "Ok, this is kind of a scenario question, you ready?"
Ron nodded and Harry and Hermione leaned in interested because the young child was very hesitant.
Alex took a deep breath and started "Ok, say you have two best friends a boy and a girl. The boy is Barry and the girl is Hera. You guys are very close knit and do everything together. Then suddenly Barry develops an interest in Hera, and wants to ask her out. Hera finds out about this and realizes she likes Barry too. What would you do if they go out? Do you like Hera?"
Ron was thinking about this and was too thick to find out the message underneath the story. Harry who was a bit smarter than Ron figured it out and was shocked. Hermione was just sitting there done with her homework.
Ron spoke "Well, if they really like each other I would be happy for them, but in the beginning I may feel like I'm the third wheel and will learn to come through with it throughout the time."
Alex smiled pleased and wrote it down as he spoke. Harry was very shocked and determined to have a talk with her later. Hermione was not thick, but just didn't get the message.
Alex closed her notebook satisfied "Great! We're done!"
Ron and Hermione smiled and Alex looked at Harry smiling. To her surprise she found him giving her a look that said I'll talk with you later. She was a little nervous, but pushed it off and put her notebook aside. They hung out and talked before it was time for Harry and Alex to go back. Ron and Hermione waved bye to them and they waved back Alex being cheerful about it. They arrived at their room and Alex was about to go to her room when Harry stopped her.
"Hold on there" he said folding his arms
Alex stopped and looked back at him smiling nervously. "H-Hi"
He went closer and sat her down placing a hand on her shoulder. "Alex, what was that about?"
"What?" asked Alex
Harry looked at her "The 'scenario' you asked Ron to answer."
Alex took a deep breath "Even though I'm four years old it didn't take long for me to figure out you liked her."
Now it was Harry's turn to act innocent "Who?"
Alex rolled her eyes "Hermione"
Harry was stunned "I don't like her."
Alex smirked "Really, because when you stare at a girl countless times during who knows when it kind of means that you have a thing for them."
Harry sighed "Ok, I kind of like her, but I'm not sure."
Alex smiled satisfied "I knew it!"
Harry smirked "That was a pretty clever way to say the scenario to Ron."
Alex smiled accomplished "I know"
Harry smirked and picked her up spinning her around like a brother causing her to laugh. He then dropped her on the soft couch with her laughing.
"It's late, let's go to bed," he said
She nodded and they went to their separate rooms thinking about the year.
