A New Girl and Her Past

By Jessie T. (Jt112)

Suddenly, Harry seemed to be in a heavily wooded area. He recognized it automatically because he had visited this place once before. It was the Forbidden Forest.

Just then, Harry noticed that there was a dim light deep in the woods. Being curious, Harry went to inspect it.  When he arrived he saw his best friend Ron Wesley. But Ron was holding something. It was a cat. But it wasn't just any cat: it was beautiful. The cat had dark brown fur with the cutest brown eyes. But a moment later they changed color. They were now a gorgeous emerald green. 'That is strange' Harry thought. But unexpectedly, there was a blinding flash of green. When Harry opened his eyes, Ron and the stunning cat were gone. Harry was left puzzled.

A moment later, Harry saw another dim light in the woods. But this time it was further away. Instinctively, Harry rushed to the area. Harry was now running towards the light, wondering what or who it was. As he was getting closer, Harry realized that the woods were getting less thick, until it became on opening. The setting was beautiful. There was a cliff at the end of the forest. And it was overlooked by a full moon. Standing there on the edge of the cliff was a beautiful woman dressed in a long white dress. Her sleek brown hair flowing in the wind, Harry thought that she was the most precious thing he had ever seen. Even though it was dark, Harry could still make out her figure because she was bathed in the moonlight. All of a sudden, there was a flash of green light, and with it, a snake appeared. The snake looked around him, and saw Harry. Slowly it was making its way towards Harry. But the lovely woman ran in front of the snake and held put her arms as if protecting Harry. She yelled something but Harry couldn't hear or understand her. With another flash of light everything was gone, the snake, the woman, the woods, everything. And Harry woke up in cold sweat and his scar burning in pain.

Harry woke up the next morning still tired. He touched his scar and could still feel a little pain. But Harry ignored it, when he realized that he was late for class.

"Morning, Harry" said Hermione rather cheerfully.

As Harry sat down to the table, he uttered a rather inaudible and muffled "Morning".

"What is with you this morning?" Hermione asked.

"I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night." Harry replied.

"Well, that's too bad because we had double potions first period." Ron added.

"Great, isn't that just peachy!" Harry said. His voice was dripping with sarcasm. "What do you think that Snape with do to us first? I think he might give us a lecture or maybe a…?". But Harry noticed that his best friend was not listening to him. Instead, Ron was staring in the direction of a pretty Slytherin.

"Hello? Snap Out of it!" Harry said waving a hand in front of his face.

"Huh, sorry" Ron said coming out of his trance.

"You really like that girl, don't you?" Hermione said.

"NO, I don't like a Slytherin…. I'm just upset that she isn't in Gryffindor. That's all." Ron said.

"Sure" Hermione said, not believing a word that Ron said.

"By the way, did Dumbledore announce when the Quidditch tryouts are? Harry asked.

"They are tonight after classes." Came a cold voice above Harry. Everyone looked up, only to find Riley Thompson standing there.

I guess you and carrot-top there are going to tryout? She said.

"Well, I am but Ron doesn't play Quidditch." Harry replied.

"Humph, well, I guess we will see you guys are good enough to make the team, which I doubt. Malfoy told me that the only reason why you made it on the team was that you were Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. We will see who will get the House cup this year." She said callously and walked off.

"For some reason, I get a strange feeling around her." Harry said with a frown.

"Me too" Ron said staring at Riley in the distance.

"Guys we have to get to class. Snape will probably take 1000 point off Gryffindor if we are late." Hermione remarked.

After Harry slept through Divination class, he made his way to the Gryffindor common room. There he found Hermione deeply interested in a book. Harry noticed that it was quite large and the title of the book was Hogwarts: A History. Harry laughed. Hermione once told him that reading that book was what she called 'light reading'. Wow she looks so pretty with her hair up like that. Stop think about her like that. Just get your Quidditch stuff and leave. That is all you have to do.

So Harry entered his dormitory and changed into his Quidditch uniform. He grabbed his Fire Bolt and went straight to the common room. As he entered Hermione noticed that he had his Fire bolt with him. He looks so cute in his Quidditch clothes. It makes him look more like athletic. Stop thinking about him!  STOP. STOP. STOP.

"Hey, Harry" Hermione said.

"Hey Herm. Is that what you call 'light reading'? Harry said with a chuckle.

"Just because it is big doesn't mean it's a bad book. It is quite interesting. At least I try to read books. Not like you and Ron." She replied.

"Your right. Ron and I don't read, so I won't make fun of you anymore. Anyways…. are you going to watch me at Quidditch tonight?" he said. Did I just ask her to come and watch me?

Did he just ask me to come and watch him? What should I say? I want to watch him but if I say yes he will know that I like him. So she finally said "Well I have a lot of homework and I don't' really like…"

"You have homework on the first day of school! Please? All you have to do is watch me," he said as he gave her his famous smile.

I hate it when he gives me that smile. I love that smile. I guess I can't refuse. "Ok, Ok. I'll come" Hermione said

"Thanks so much, Herm." He said as he grabbed her arm and ran off towards the Quidditch mound.
