DATE ALERT!
"So," Harry said, "about that going out thing…"
"Oh, you don't have to take me seriously, Harry."
"I don't have to, but I want to."
Lauren smiled. "Then do so."
"Sure, why not. You wanna get together somewhere in Hogsmeade someplace, someday?" Wow, Harry thought, asking Lauren out was easy! Almost too easy.
"I'd love to! How about next Saturday? That's the next day we go over to Hogsmeade."
"How did you know what Hogsmeade is?"
"Dumbledore explained tons of it on a fire-call."
"Oh. We'll meet in the common room at around 10:30 and go together."
"Let's. But Harry; how'm I gonna stand not seeing you till Saturday?"
"Somehow. We'll see each other in classes and meals and stuff. Hey! You wanna meet tomorrow, say, around midnight?" Harry blurted out the first words that came into his head.
"Midnight?"
"Yeah. Com'ere, I've got something to show you."
Harry held Lauren's hand and led her to his trunk. He opened it and pulled out the Invisibility Cloak.
"What's this?" Lauren asked, fingering the sparkling material.
"An Invisibility Cloak. I've used it tons of times."
"How do you work it? Do you just go under it?"
"Yeah. try it."
Harry draped the cloak over Lauren's shoulders. She walked over to the mirror with Harry and shrieked. All she could see of herself was her head.
"This is so cool!"
"I know. But someone's bound to start looking for you."
"Yeah, someone like Hermione," Lauren said, slipping off the cloak and handing it to Harry.
"Exactly," Harry replied, folding it up. Lauren stole one last kiss from Harry and slipped out the door.
Harry walked over and shut the door. He went and put the cloak back in his trunk. Then, he went back to the window seat and sat, staring out the window, remembering what had happened just minutes ago.

this is really dumb.
