Hello everyone. Enjoy the chapter!

Harry and the girl were both momentarily dazed as they rubbed their heads. Afterwards, they both stood back up.

"I'm so sorry about that," Harry said apologetically.

"No, no, it's my fault. I was in such a hurry to get back to my table, since it's so busy here today and I didn't want to lose me and my mum's seat," the girl responded.

The two of them wound up staring at each other for several seconds. Harry had to admit that this girl was also very pretty. Likewise, the girl had to admit that that this boy was kinda cute, even if he was dressed in ratty old hand-me-downs.

Finally, the girl quickly shook her head, clearing it of these thoughts. "Anyway, I'd better continue on. Sorry again."

The girl continued on and Harry continued his own task of finding the bathroom. On his way, he passed by an older woman who, judging by her own hair, Harry concluded was Daphne's mother. She was also in a hurry to catch up with her daughter.

A few minutes later, Harry was done with his own business and was making his way back to his and Hagrid's table. Once he got there, he was surprised to see that there were two other people now accompanying them. It was that girl Harry had bumped into as well as her mother.

"Oi, Harry!" Hagrid said with a grin, waving him over.

Harry took a seat next to the girl, who introduced herself as Daphne Greengrass, explained that they failed to reclaim their table and that Hagrid had invited them to come and sit.

The foursome continued to eat and chat for about the next fifteen minutes and Harry found himself making pretty quick friends with Daphne as well. Harry liked that Daphne had a lot of confidence without sounding conceited or like a snob, a welcome breath of fresh air from the boy whom Harry had met at Madame Malkins. He also chatted a bit with her mother (Rhiannon Greengrass), whom after talking to, Harry felt a little more confident about his upcoming tenure at Hogwarts despite the fact that he had grown up in the Muggle world.

Soon enough though, it was time for Harry to be brought back home.

"Well, as fun as this has been, I suppose I'd better get Harry on his train home," Hagrid said.

What Hagrid was not prepared for though was Daphne's mother's reaction to his statement.
