"So, I've heard you met Kelly." Hermione said to Harry. They were sitting in the common room. Everyone had gone to sleep, even Ron.
"How did you know?" He asked.
"I'm friends with her and I would have hoped you knew her, she's on your Quidditch team, isn't she?" Hermione said, "She told me she ate breakfast with you."
"Oh, yeah." Harry wondered if she had told Hermione about Oliver, "Did she tell you about Oliver?"
"Yeah, I know a lot of things, probably more than you do." Hermione smirked at Harry.
"Like what?"
"Well, do you know Rachelle and Amber? Their 7th years, annoying, friends with Kelly?"
"Yep, why?"
"Well, they have been trying to hook Kelly up with someone because even since Oliver and her have broken up, she's been sulking around the school looking dead. They decided to find her someone else to cheer her up but she doesn't want to be cheered up she just wants Oliver back. So today, I find out that Rachelle and Amber have set Kelly up on a blind date with some 6th year. Kelly wasn't too happy."
"That sucks."
"Yeah it does. I think I'm gonna get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight."
"Why!" Kelly said, flopping down on her bed. She looked up at Rachelle and Amber, "Why did you do that! I so could have found a date for myself..."
"No you couldn't, you're still madly infatuated with Oliver and you know it." Rachelle snapped back, she knew she had just won this fight. Their was no way in hell that Kelly was actually going to say what she felt and tell them that she wanted Oliver back. Kelly just wasn't like that; she liked to keep things to herself.
"Rachelle, you know I'm over Oliver," Kelly suddenly cringed, the thought of lying to her best friend almost sent her over the edge. She went on though, hoping they hadn't noticed the slight waver in her voice when she said his name, "I just think I should lay of the boy scene for now."
"Fine." Rachelle muttered as she turned around with a smile printed acrossed her face. She knew she had won and Kelly was going on her little blind date.
The next weeks went by quick. The "Blind Date" was driving her mad. Rachelle and Amber still hadn't told her who she was taking. She had said "It won't be blind if you know who it is". They had agreed that it would be at the next Hogsmeade trip and that they would meet there. Kelly had enough things to stress about. The first Quidditch game was coming up and she was getting homework by the tons.
It was a Sunday morning. Kelly awoke, "Well this is the day" she thought to herself. This was the first Hogsmeade trip of the year and the one she would see her blind date.
"Ready for the big day?" Rachelle said, looking perkier that usual. Kelly glanced at her and walking away, "What's your problem, you should be thrilled. I know I am."
"Well maybe that's the problem."
"What's the problem."
"When the person that set up the date is a happier than the person that is going to be date." Kelly said, frowning at Rachelle.
"You're going to love him though!"
"Right." Kelly walked away. She took a quick shower and ran down to the great hall, hoping to see Hermione or Harry. She wanted to get some comfort before she had to go to Hogsmeade. She spotted them sitting by themselves eating.
"Hey you guys!" Kelly mustered the happiest sounding voice she could come up with by they saw right though it.
"Today's the day, uh?" Harry said, "You know, me, Hermione and Ron are all going to Hogsmeade too, we wouldn't mind trailing along..."
"No, I don't want to bore you to death. Plus i'm thinking that Rachelle and Amber are going ot be following me around town, watching everything we do."
"Kelly, meet us in the common room tonight when you get home, we can talk about everything that happened." Hermione said, standing up and grabbing her books, "We got to go, we'll see you tonight."
"Ok, bye!"
