The following day was the day of Harry's first date. He spent longer than he ever had fussing over his hair hopelessly attempting to make his hair lie flat.
"Hurry up Harry" Ron told him impatiently "At this rate were going to miss the hogsmeade visit I dont care what Hermoine says were going to Honeydukes first"
"Oh well I sort of made plans to meet up with someone else" he told Ron anxiously
A wide gloating smile spread across Ron's freckled face. "Are you going on a date with someone " he laughed sounding ridiculously like a 12 year old girl.
"Grow up Ron" Harry laughed dodging a pillow that Ron chucked at him
"Look mate you look fine just come down for breakfast. And are you going out with Carrin" Ron reassured him with surprising sympathy.
"Yes" said Harry hoping Ron would not press for details. Luckily he didn't and the two walked down to breakfast together.
Carron felt even more nervous than when she did in her third year with him. Carrin didn't t bother with breakfast. At the time of the Hogsmead visit she waited outside the breakfast hall for Harry with Luna. She tried not to think of her first date.
"Hello Harry" said Carrin when she spotted Harry
"H Hi Carrin" Harry sturttered blushing red when he heard Ron's snort of laughter
"Let's go are see you later Luna" said Carrin waving goodbye to her friend
"So" Harry asked
"How long have you and Luna been friends how did you end up friends" he asked curiously
"Well at first it was just because everyone would either not talk to me or my father scared them off but Luna's cool she's smart shes funny and Luna is loyal I don't think I would have survived without Luna. I met her on my second year in the liabrey I hexed a girl who was picking on Luna"
The two walked down to Hogsmead chatting. Harry was suprised at how easy it was to talk to Carrin. Carrin was suprised to. It felt natural to talk to Harry more than natual being with him felt right in a way Carrin had never felt before. It shocked her to realise she really did trust him
"Were do you want to go" Harry asked Carrin
"Butterbear and an areo bar" Carrin told him "Want to share the areo"
"Is that a serious question" Harry joked
The two teens had barely taken another step when a stunningly beautiful girl with long glossy black hair appeared by Harry's side "Hi Harry"
"Hi Cho" said Harry not to unhappy to see her, he liked Cho. She was smart beautiful and a great quidditch player.
"What you up to" Cho asked Harry hopefully
"I'm going to the three broomsticks with Carrin" Harry told her
Much to Carrins delight Cho's cheery smile faltered "Oh is it okay if I join" she asked shooting Carrin a look of complet and utter loathing
Carrin couldn't belive it she had been so looking forward to spending time with Harry and now he had agreed to let Cho bloody Chang join. Clearly he did not feel the way she thought he felt about her.
The three spend ten minuets in the three broomsticks. Cho and Harry immediately started talking about quidditch. Carrins hand curled into fisits. Her anger was bubbling furiously, she felt like a fool, had Harry simply wanted her to go Hogsmead with her to impress Cho.
"I'm leaving Potter" she snarled
"Are you okay Carrin" Cho asked her voice dripping with fake sympathy.
"Carrin don't go" pleaded Harry
Carrin glared furiously at him "No Potter" she said leaving Cho trying to hide a smile and Harry looked rather confused
By the time Carrin arrived back at Hogwarts she realised tears were rolling down her face.
"Carrin please tell me what's wrong or if you won't do that would you allow me to give you a calming potion" said Snape catching sight of his crying daughter
Carrin spun round to face her father "What about a curse or a potion that makes boils burst all over someone's face" she asked
Snape smirked "That's my girl" he said softly "And may I ask who the potion is for" he added curiously
"That dick Potter" she snarled
Snape couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. That last person he wanted his daughter to be hanging out with was that swine Potter.
"It would be my greatest delight. It was also save me the trouble of cursing him"
Carrin gave a reluctant laugh "Can I help you make it" she asked hopefully
Snape nodded and the two smiled at each other
