Chapter Ten

Plan 2

Albus's blue eyes twinkled at his students. He motioned to the empty arm chairs. The group sat down waiting for the headmaster to begin.

"Well, that was interesting turn of events. The wolf has finally acted, but yet the human as yet to act. He fears rejection."

The group nodded in agreement.

"Ok plan one failed." Minerva stated and continued, " We must think of something a bit more drastic. But what is it is the question."

"A sticking charm." Nicole suggested.

Harry shook his head. "Nope still too soon for that a drastic measure. This calls for a marauder plan." he said with a grin worthy of his heritage.

"No Potter. I thought that was finally over the day your father and godfather left Hogwarts."

"Do you want them together or not Professor McGonagall." Harry's green eyes sparkled. "We get Hermione into detention with Professor Lupin."

"It would be tricky." Ginny said, "But defiantly doable."

"I have an idea," Nicole said and the group to turned their attention to the witch. "A…we jinx her to back talk Professor Lupin." she said shyly.

"That would be priceless," said Ron with a laugh. "It would be fun. Nice work Nicole."

The witch blushed and turned head away from the group. Harry winked and smiled at the witch.

"What do you think Professors." Ginny asked.

Albus stroked his bred, "I like it. Just like Mr. Weaseley said it would be priceless to see the look on Miss Granger's face. She's only been in detention once during her time here at Hogwarts."

"It will take place Friday." Harry told them.

"Well plan two is out of the way. Let's hope it works better than plan one." Minerva said with a slight smile.

The students had never seen their head of house smile so much. It was nice to see her happy. They could get use to the meddling witch.

"Well if Professor Lupin doesn't do anything. Mooney will intervene." Ginny stated.

They all nodded in agreement. But they hope Malfoy wouldn't cause problems. Because he was watching Hermione very closely lately and it was nerving.

"Well, children I believe that is it." said the headmaster.

They nodded and left the headmaster's office with high hopes.

"Albus is this wise. I mean leaving them alone."

"Tabby are you telling me that you're not having second thoughts about meddling in two people's lives."

"I never back down and I want start now." and she left the office.

Albus chuckled, "I know my dear.

OoOoOoO

Harry turned to Nicole, "Do you want to take a walk down to the lake?"

The witch shyly looked at the wizard, "A sure."

He smiled and they walked out of the great doors.

The group smiled at each other and went to the Gryffindor tower.

OoOoO

The couple quietly walked down to the lake. Harry looked over at the witch with a twinkle in his green eyes. Nicole looked at the wizard and blushed.

"Do you want to go for a ride?"

"A…a ride?" she said nervously.

He blushed nervously. "I mean a broom ride."

The witch nodded. The wizard smiled and raised his hand and his broom flew into his hand from his dorm. Nicole's mouth drop in disbelief.

"Did…did you just use-"

"…wandless magic," he finished her sentence.

She nodded her head.

"I learned from Dumbledore last year."

Harry got on his broom and scooted back. She swung her leg over in the front of him. He kicked off the ground and flew lazy circles around the pitch. Nicole leaned back against chest. Harry smiled to his self.

"Do you want to see Hogwarts?"

"I do see Hogwarts."

He laughed, "I mean from above."

She nodded in agreement.

"Hold on," he whispered in her ear.

He flew her around the castle. She had never seen anything like it. She could see all over the grounds.

"What are those black skeleton horses?

Harry fond. Nicole had seen death.

"Nicole have seen death?" asked the wizard as he landed his broom near the horses.

The couple got off the broom and he leaned it against a near by tree.

"Why do you ask?" she said nervously and wondering why he would ask such a question.

Harry ran his hand through his messy black hair. "They're called Thesrals. You can only see them if you've seen death."

Nicole walked up to the skeleton horse and stroked his nose. She nodded, "Yes. I've seen death. I saw my little sister fall off her broom," and she looked at Harry, "she broke her neck. I was the only one there. I should have been up there with her, but she wanted to do it on her own. Wendy was seven," and she turned her attention back to the Theral.

Harry walked up to the witch and rested a hand on her shoulder. "It wasn't your fault."

"Tell that to my mother. I was only nine at the time and she still blames me for Wendy's death."

He turned her around and took her in his arms. She buried her face in the crook of his neck. He gently rubbed her back and he kissed her hair line. He didn't know why he did it. He remembered his mother doing it to him when he was up set. Well, he think she did.

"Come on let's go back to the common room."

She nodded and they got back on the broom and he flew threw the boys dorm window and, they went down to the common room.

The matchmakers just had to wait until Friday to put plan two into action.
