"Oh my god! that was awesome. You have to agree with me when I say that the muggles have created such masterful inventions without the use of magic. And what masterful story telling. This didn't look like a kids movie at all. I was really heart broken when Simba was exiled from his own home. Then he meets Timone and Pumba, weren't the two fantastic. I am so glad Simba met them. I loved the interaction between Rafiki. Then the final confrontation with his uncle. For a moment there I thought Scar might kill him but Simba managed to overpower scar. Then he becomes a great ruler just as his father wanted him to be."

"And there's the Gryffindor that I have been looking for." I said as Harry finished his oh so excited speech about the movie. I was starting to wonder why Harry was sorted into Gryffindor. From what I have seen from him he's has more Ravenclaw qualities than a Gryffindor. He's too analytical and always tries to get all the facts before making a decision. I haven't ever seen Harry make a rash gryffindor decision.

"What do mean? Don't tell me you didn't like it. That movie was awesome and it was made without magic. You have to be impressed with what they have done." Harry said a little defensively. The hurt in his eyes were as if I stole a candy from a baby.

"I am not saying it was not incredible. I loved the whole concept of movies and it is more entertaining than a book. Plus it covers more grounds in less time that we would take reading a book. The animations also took my breath away. I really loved how colorful the whole movie was and I enjoyed the songs. Some of them were really catchy like the Hakuna matata song. I really liked the whole experience from the popcorn till the last song" I told him so that he doesn't feel too bad. It was an honest answer too. Its not that I didn't enjoy the evening. I had a great time.

"So why do I sense a big but somewhere." Harry asked.

"Well that's because the story was too Gryffindor for my taste."

"What do you mean too Gryffindor? How can a movie be too Gryffindor?"

"First we start with the lead. It's a Lion, the movie is about Lion. How much more Gryffindor do you want it to be. If you want to tell a story about a prince being exiled from his own kingdom why not use humans. There is no way that story could not have been told using humans instead of Lions."

"Then there is the main character Simba himself. I mean that guy is the typical description of a Gryffindor. When he is young he is arrogant and cocky. Then something bad happens which causes him to grow up and become a wise and noble leader. Tell me one famous Gryffindor that was not arrogant as a kid and then became heroic after his ordeal."

"Then there is the recklessness of Simba himself. Okay I understand there the motto Hakuna Matata but come, he was responsible for the death of his father and he does nothing about it. The guy spends years living a carefree life. Not even a life of adventure to finally becomes noble king. The guy doesn't even understand what hardships his own subjects would face in their life. Simba's character development was nothing but poor. They could have made it so much better."

"Oh and don't even get me started on the plot. There are so many plot holes. We just talked about every villain having some good in them to. How they are what they are due to the circumstances they face. And Scar here was your typical bad guy that the brave gryffindor beats at the end of his story. A ruthless tyrant that has power because he got it through nefarious means."

The guy asked me to run away from school just to show me a cliché Gryffindor plot story. Why can't he have taken to show me something else. Its not like I am the type of girl that just likes sappy romance stories. No, I like things that has back stabbing, cunningness and rivalry too. Something that keeps you excited and keeps you guessing till the end. I am sure he could have picked a better movie than 'Lion King'.

"What's wrong with it being Gryffindorish. Plus it was supposed to be a kids movie. Something simple that would keep the kids entertained and teach them some important lessons in life. That's how most kids movies are where the hero comes in and saves the day." Harry was really trying to justify the movie.

"No wonder Gryffindor houses so many muggleborn if they watch these types of movies in their childhood. All the kids care about is being a hero then to pursue knowledge or cunningness. These kids would be growing up aspiring to be hero's and gryffindor is just the right place for them."

"You enjoyed the movie so stop whining about it."

"I am not whining about the experience."

"But you have been whining about everything today evening. First you start with the television, then the burger and then the movie too. What did you like in the whole experience."

"I quite enjoyed my time with you and I wouldn't mind going to the movies with you again if you ever need me to. I am just saying that the story was too gryffindor for my taste. Maybe next time when you choose a movie, choose something with a little more Slytherin's in it too. This whole experience was quite new to me and was fascinated by the muggle world. I may not have enjoyed some of the things but that doesn't mean I do not appreciate the whole experience. Learn from your mistakes Harry and maybe you'll learn how to show a girl a good time. It might come in handy when you get a girl-friend."

"So you aren't against coming to the movie again or running away from school to the muggle world?" He seemed to be a little relieved.

"No I am not. I did quite enjoy the evening but it was far from perfect. It was a new experience and I don't think I would have got such an opportunity if not for you so for that I appreciate what you did. All I am saying is that make better choices the next time and also consider your other person's wants too. Don't be selfish."

"So where to now Harry?"

"Umm its about to be 8 now so we should be heading back. We can go back to the apartment so we can change into your robes. We don't want the ice-queen to be wearing muggle clothes now do we."

"No, No we don't." with that we apparated to his apartment where we changed into our normal robes. After that we apparated back to Hogsmade and made our way back to the castle.

"Hey Harry" I called out as we made our way through the secret pathway.

"Hmm."

"What ware the pants made of that I wore today? I really liked the material but I don't think we use it in the magical world."

"Oh they are made of Denim and are called jeans. You know I can take you shopping one weekend in the muggle world. You might like it. They have so many variety of shops for clothes, shoes, make up and what not."

"That might not be a bad idea. Can we do it during the summer break. That way we can get Tracy to come along too. Maybe Hannah and Susan might be interested too."

"That might not be a bad idea. We can take Astoria along too, that way I wont be too bored when you girls go all out shopping while she can keep me company."

"Oh that reminds me. How are you so close to Astoria."

"She hasn't told you yet?"

"No she hasn't. I didn't feel like prying."

"Well I don't know when exactly we became best friends but the first time I met her was when we were boarding the Hogwarts express for the first time. That time you had already boarded the train and Astoria and your mother were waiting for your father to join them after leaving your belongings in the express. After I had dropped my stuff in the compartment and was saying goodbye to Aunt Andy, I saw your mother."

"Now I had already been introduced to your mother through Mrs. Alice and as she was a friend of my mother I thought I should at least greet her. That was when your mother introduced me to Astoria. Then Astoria was really sad cause you were going to Hogwarts. She really wanted to go with you. I felt really sorry for her. She looked so cute that day, wearing that yellow sundress and pouting all the time, I imagined her as if she was the sister that I never had. So I promised her to write and tell her all about my Hogwarts experience."

"Which you did."

"Yes I wrote to her almost every week. From that day onwards. I told her everything that was happening in Hogwarts and she wrote me back about her time in the manor. Though I may not have told her about my past I did tell her most of what was going on in my life at Hogwarts."

"Then there were the holidays. As you know that I took a job during the summer break at your apothecary, that's when we started to get really close. I spent a lot of time with Astoria out there. She would come with her mother and would follow me around or help me with what I was doing. I also got to explore Diagon Alley with her. During my breaks the two of us would head to Florien's for Ice-cream. Plus I would bring her cookies every day."

"That wasn't very dramatic as I thought it would be. So you were the friend that she always wanted but never had."

"I guess."

"Thanks Harry. For being there for my sister when she needed it the most."

"Hey, its not like I didn't get anything in return."

"Yah you got a friend too. What do you see her as Harry. Is she just a friend to you or does she mean more to you too."

"She does mean more to me than just as a friend. I see her as the sister that I never had."

"And what about when she grows up. I know you have noticed how she looks at you. It may be a childish crush now Harry but what about when she grows up. Will you just see her as a sister then Harry,"

"To be honest Daphne, I don't know. Maybe she will out grow the childish crush when she grows up but I don't have an answer to your question."

A/N: and that concludes the date. What do you think? Hope you enjoyed it. I know I had fun writing it.
