"Umm, sure, Harry." Katie said, staring into Harry's green, almond-shaped eyes, and wondering what he had to ask her that had to wait until Ron and Hermione weren't there.
"Er, I was just wondering...well...I mean, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but...erm...in the muggle book, do Ron and Hermione...you know...go out?"
Katie, who had not been expecting that to come out of Harry's mouth, struggled to come up with an answer. "Well, no, they don't. Not this year."
"Oh. 'Cause I thought...I mean, it kinda looks like they have a thing for eachother, doesn't it?" Harry asked.
"Yea, they definitely do." Katie smiled at him, and Harry smiled back, feeling his stomach do a few backflips.
"But you know, I was thinking," Katie said, looking at Harry. "that maybe we could, sort of, get them together?"
Harry sat up straighter in his chair. "You mean me and you, get Ron and Hermione to go out this year?"
"Yeah. But, I mean, it's just an idea. We don't have to do it if you don't want to."
"No, I think that's a great idea." Harry said, smiling. "But how are we going to do it?" He added as an afterthought.
"Er, well, I haven't really though about that yet." Katie confessed.
"Well let's figure it out now." Harry said, taking his books off his lap and putting them on the table. "Let's see. First we have to pick a place to do it. Somewhere nice. Hmmm..."
"How about outside, by the lake?" Katie suggessted.
"Nah, it's to cold outside." Harry said.
"Oh! I know! Hogsmeade!" Katie's face lit up.
"Yea, Hogsmeade is perfect." Harry said, smiling. "Now, how to get them together..."
"We could...umm...send them each letters from a secret admirer." Katie suggested.
"Yeah! And tell them to meet at the same place, at the same time."
"This is gonna be so fun." Katie said, smiling at Harry. He smiled back.
Harry looked at his watch. "Hey, I just remembered! We never went back to get the invisibility cloak."
"You think Malfoy's gone by now?"
Harry thought about it for a minute. "Yea, he should be. You wanna go now?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Katie siad, standing up.
Harry and Katie left the common room, and started to walk down the corridor in the direction of the Room of Requirement, where they had dropped the cloak.
"I hope we don't get caught this time." Katie said anxiously.
"Yeah, and especially not by Snape. This time, we won't have an excuse."
Once they arrived at the place on the wall where the door to the Room of Requirement would be, they started searching the floor.
"It should be around here somewhere, Katie." Harry said.
But after five minutes of searching without any luck, Harry and Katie were starting to doubt themselves.
"Harry, are you sure that we dropped it here? I mean, it could have fallen off while we were running down the hall, don't you think?"
Harry raised his head, which had been faced down at the ground, looking for the invisibility cloak. "Yeah, I guess it could have. Come on." He said, gesturing for Katie to follow him as he began walking down the corridor in the same direction that they had been running earlier that night.
The minutes passed by, five, ten, fifteen, then twenty, and still Harry and Katie didn't give up. It was only when they had been up and down the corridor five times in a half hour, did they throw in the white towel.
"Harry, it's not here." Katie said desperately.
Harry groaned. "Why did we follow Malfoy in the first place?" he asked himself, shaking his head. "We should have just went back to the common room after the lesson with Dumbledore. But no. We just had to bump into Malfoy, and we just had to know what he was up to."
"Do you think that he took it?" Katie asked him.
"What?"
"Malfoy. Do you think that he took the invisibility cloak?" she repeated.
"Unless it just vanished into thin air." Harry dropped his head and sighed. "You know what? I'm too tired to think about this right now. Let's go back to the common room. We'll think about all this tomorrow." And with that said, Harry and Katie slowly truged back to the Gryffindor common room.
