~*Harry Potter and Practical Magic*~

Chapter 4 – Hogesmeade

Harry, Ron, and Isabella walked into Three Broomsticks right at 12:00.

Harry looked around the room for a few seconds and spotted Hermione and Samantha over up at the bar conversing with Terry Boot and Justin Flich Fletchly. Harry felt his blood boiling when he saw Hermione laugh at one of Terry's jokes, and touch his arm. He then felt a hand on his shoulder.

"She's just talking to him, Harry." Ron said, with a smile. Harry cooled down a bit.

"Is is really that obvious?" he asked. Ron nodded his head up and down. Harry sighed.

"Come on, lets go over there." He said, and lead the way.

Hermione turned her head, and a smile bigger then the one she had on already came upon her face. She waved at them.

"Hi!" she shouted. Harry felt all of his jelousey vanish.

"Hey, Hermione." He said, "Lets go get a booth." He said. Hermione nodded, and hopped of her stool, saying goodbye to Terry and Justin. Samantha followed in suit.

They got to a booth, with the seats going around a round table. Isabella slid in, then Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Samantha. Just a few moments later, Madame Rosemerta appeared.

"Hello Harry." She said with a smile.

"Hello Rosemerta." Harry replied.

"Can I take your orders?" she asked, looking around at everyone else.

"We'll just have some Butterbeers." Ron said. Rosemerta nodded, and a few minutes later returned with 5 butterbeers floating behind her. They all then flew onto the the table in front of all of them.

"Thanks!" The 5 of them said in ulusion. Rosemerta nodded, and walked back up to the bar.

"So Harry, tomorrow is the first pratice, right?" Isabella asked, taking a swig of her Butterbeer. Harry nodded, then set his down.

"Yes, try and be in the locker rooms by 7:40." He said. Samantha rasied an eyebrow.

"Why don't you all just walk down together?" she asked. Harry, Ron, and Isabella looked at each other.

"I guess that would be easier." Ron said, with a grin. Isabella nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll all meet down in the common room at 7:20. I'll make sure and tell Ginny and Parvarti." She said.

After that, no one said anything. Harry just looked around at everyone, then his mind started to wonder about Samantha and Isabella.

"I still don't undertsand how you too can be sisters," he said. Everyone looked at him. "You too are nothing alike." Samantha sighed.

"It's a family thing. Since the Owen Family Line can remember, there has always been one red head, and one dark haired girl. And normally, we follow in traits. Isabella is more like our mom. And in my aunt Sally's family, Antonia is more like Sally. When I have kids, my dark haired little girl will be like me, and when Isabella has kids, her red head will be like her. Do you understand? It's all based on DNA, really." She said. Hermione nodded, but everyone else just looked at her like she was mad.

"Great, another Hermione-OW!" Ron exclaimed, when Hermione elbowed him in his ribs, causing everyone to laugh.

"So, Isabella, why did you guys move here anyways?" Ron asked. Isabella and Samantha looked at each other, the nodded.

"Well, as you know already, our mom is a witch. One of the most powerful witches today, in fact. But anyways, our dad knew we were witches from the start…he just didn't know how powerful, till a few months ago. Well, he got scared, and left our mom. Not to mention, our mom is still one wild woman. Don't get us wrong, we love her, and she's a fantasic mom, but she jus needs to tone it down some. We think that's another reason our dad left…He wanted a 'normal' wife. Not an overaged teenager." Isabella said.

"A few weeks later, she got the divorce paper's in the mail…Not wanting to deal with the pressure of Sally and the Aunts, she decided to come here, far away from all of that." Samantha finsished.

"But move to England? Couldn't she just move to Canada, or something?" Harry asked. Samantha shrugged.

"Like we said, our mom is pretty wild. But, I don't mind living here…otherwise I wouldn't have met you, Ron." Isabella said, putting a hand on his. Ron felt his fase turn bright red, which Harry thought was the most funniest thing he'd seen all day, and he showed it my laughing. He then unconsciencely turned his head, and saw that Hermione was looking right at him with a soft look on her face, she then smiled and turned to say something to Isabella. Harry then looked down, as his face started flushing, and smiled to himself.

That night, Harry lay in bed, tossing and turning. Thrashing about, sighing, and moaning lightly.

Harry dreamt that 2 people where conversing in a darkend room, from the looks outside, it looked like they were at Hogwarts. He then listened in, and felt his blood turn cold when he heard the voices of one Wormtail, and one Voldemort.

"Please, Master, If you give me this last chance…Will you give me my body back?" Wormatail asked. He heard Voldemort breath in deeply.

"I shall grant you this last chance, Wormtail. Do whatever you can to get to that boy…" he said.

"I won't fail you this time master…" Wormtail said. Voldemort smirked, and faced him.

"Do not fail me again, Peter, or your immortal soul shall be sent to hades…" Voldemort said, the looked back out the window.

Harry woke up abruptly, when he heard a door shut. He turned over to his nightstand, and picked up his glasses. Then he opened the curtian alittle ways, to see who it was. His eye's opened wide when he caught a glimpse of the person.

"Hermione!" he said in a hush whisper.

Hermione very quickly tip toed across the room, and to Harry's bed. She then opened the curtain, and got onto the bed, then closed it.

"Hermione, your not supposed to be in here. It's against the rules." Harry said, sitting up. Hermione frowned.

"I'm well aware of that Harry. It's just…" she trailed off. Harry looked impatient.

"What?" he asked. Hermione ran her hand across her forehead.

"This is so embarrasing…but, I had a really bad dream, and I'm scared." She said. Harry looked shocked. Hermione Granger? Scared of something? A DREAM no less…but Harry did feel speical because she came to him. He then crawled over, and sat next to her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Do you wanna tell me about it?" he asked. Hermione looked down.

"That's the thing. I can't remember it. But, I feel so scared for some reason, and I know it's because of a nightmare. The only thing I can remember, is being in some weired tower here at Hogwarts." She said. Harry looked baffled, wasn't that what he just dreamed about?

"Oh. Well, I'm sure it was nothing." He lied. Hermione then looked up at him.

"Harry, could I sleep here, with you?" she asked, with a shakey voice. Harry didn't know what to say.

"Uhmmm…I…guess…so." Was all he managed to choke out.

Hermione smiled, and the too of them then crawled up to the head of the bed, and got underneath the covers. Hermione then snuggled up next to him, and all Harry could do was wrap an arm around her. He heard Hermione yawn lighty.

"Thank-you for being my friend, Harry." She said, then fell asleep. Harry smiled, and kissed the top of her head.

"No, Hermione…Thank-you for being mine." He then laid his cheek on top of her's, and too fell into a dreamless sleep.
