Eternity and Time, if there was a difference had not shown itself for about 6 weeks and
Kelsey had returned back to normal and everyone had forgotten the little 'incident'. "Raise
your hands children, lift them high, Let's join our hearts; walk in the light. There's a desert,
there's a wilderness. Separating us from a better life. See, together we can walk through fire,
We can face the flame, we can reach the higher. Ground that waits in the promised land,
'Cause only faith and love will stand; And ev'rything that can be will be. Ev'rything that can
be will be..." Kelsey listened to "Shaken" by Rachel Lampa, becoming her favorite song. It
eased her when she felt the fear she had of Time. It was November 30th the last week
of November and Kelsey still did not understand what her calling of time had come of. One
thing was good though, her birthday was soon. Kelsey had finally realized she was developing
a small crush on Harry. . . "Good relationships normally start as friendships first" she thought
of her best friend Kaitlyn's advice. Kaitlyn had been her best friend in America and
hadn't seen her since she moved. "Hey guess what you guys?" she asked not waiting for a
reply, "December 17th is my birthday!" "Cool" Hermione said. "There's a Hogsmeade trip this
weekend and we can look for stuff for you." "Hogsmeade?" Kelsey asked. "It's a wizarding
town nearby Hogwarts and normally we would've taken a trip there by now but I guess the
school has been busy and everything I guess." Hermione answered.
The next day was December 1st
Kelsey was outside by the lake with Harry, Ron, and Hermione when she saw a carriage
coming towards the school. The carriage stopped nearby them and a girl about their age
started to get out of the carriage. "What the heck?" Kelsey muttered squinting trying to
make out who this girl was. "Oh my gosh Kait!" she yelled and started to run towards the
carriage. Harry, Ron, and Hermione just stared at Kelsey like she was insane. Kelsey ran and
hugged the girl who hugged her back and seemed just as ecstatic as Kelsey was. "What're you
doing here Kait?" Kelsey asked. "Well I missed you so much I decided to come to Hogwarts for
a few weeks as a birthday present to you. Our school's headmasters arranged it like I'm an
exchange student so I get to go to all your classes and stuff and see what I've been missing out
on since you left me!" she said. "That is so awesome! You gotta come meet my friends" Kelsey
said. They walked over to Hermione, Ron, and Harry. (They hadn't been able to hear this
conversation and still thought Kelsey was nuts.) "Kaitlyn this is Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley,
and Harry Potter" she said pointing to each of them. "Kelsey you should've told me you were
going to get to go to school with Harry Potter! That is like sooooo cool!!" Kaitlyn said. "Well I
didn't know either 'til I came here! Anyway guys this is Kaitlyn my like absolute total best
friend from America. From what she told me she's gonna be an exchange student here for a
couple weeks" Kelsey told them. They all went back to the castle to show Kaitlyn around.
Later that night. . .
"We're going to sleep already??" Kaitlyn asked. "Tomorrow we have class we have to get up
sooo early it is like so annoying!" Kelsey explained to her. "But we can still stay up and talk
just try to calm down a little bit so we won't be tired in the morning." Kaitlyn sat on Kelsey's bed
next to her. "You have to give me the scoop I haven't been in your life for like 3 months now!"
Kaitlyn said. "So who are the hot guys in the school and where can I 'accidentally' bump into them
tomorrow?" "All the guys in this school aren't very good looking" Kelsey said. "Except. . ." "Except
who??" Kaitlyn asked. "You have a crush on someone don't you! Who? Who? Who? Tell me!"
"Promise you won't tell?" Kelsey asked. "Promise now whooooo is it I can't take the suspense any
longer" Kaitlyn said. "Well. . . you know you met Harry today right?" said Kelsey. "You like Harry??
Cool! That'd be soooo cool if you guys could hook up and all. My best friend and Harry Potter,
soooo cool!" Kaitlyn said. "Shhh not so loud and we're not together yet that's the problem I don't
know how to find out how he likes me" Kelsey whispered. "Don't worry leave that all up to me
Kels" Kaitlyn said as she got into her bed. "For tomorrow is a new day" they both recited the advice
their old teacher had given them. Kelsey turned off the light. "I'm glad we can tell each other
anything" said Kaitlyn. As she settled down for the night.
Kelsey had a feeling there was one thing she shouldn't tell her best friend . . .
