*OKAY! This is the next day.not the day of the Quidditch match, the NEXT day! *

Kaeria yawned and hopped out of bed. She couldn't sleep, so she decided to go down to the common room and do some reading. She saw the light of the fire going, and she wondered who could be down here this time of night.

"Hello?" Kaeria said aloud, questioning the eerie silence.

A head poked out from behind a big squishy red armchair. "Oh, Hey Kaeria." "Hey Harry. What are you doing up so late?" Kaeria said, stifling a yawn.

"Your sister did something today. actually, two of them. and I've just been thinking about it." Harry said, staring into the fire.

"Who said what?" Kaeria asked, sitting down in the chair next to him. "Well, your sister Nika, she told me about everything she's ever wished about herself, trying to get a point across to me. The point was spread, but I can't understand who would want to change that much about themselves." Harry began, but trailed off.

"Really? I didn't know she was that miserable with herself. What all did she say?" Kaeria asked, leaning over the arm of the chair.

Harry explained the whole situation to Kaeria. Kaeria just nodded her head, and looked sympathetic.

"Yeah, that's Nika. She's always wanted to be like us.but I don't know why either. She's her own person, and I like who she is. Sure, not a lot of the sisters care too much for her, but I like her. What about the other one?" Kaeria said, after a pause.

"Huh?" Harry said, tilting his head up. "You said there were two sisters that did something?" Kaeria reminded him in a question like form.

"OH! Yeah. Well, I ran into Ryo while coming out of the Gryffindor changing rooms and we fell. Then Draco came up to us, and she lied to him so Draco wouldn't try to kill me or something.I figured that she would have just let him hex me or something." Harry said.

Kaeria was speechless. She didn't have any clue what to say, so she just stared down at her feet. Well, she knew what she needed to tell him, but she didn't know a way to put it in words. "I don't know what to say about that one." Kaeria honestly replied to him. "Sorry I couldn't be of more help." Kaeria told Harry sadly. "That's fine. I'm going to go up to the common room and try to get some sleep, okay?" Harry said, rising from his chair. "Okay. I'm going to stay down here and do a little reading." Kaeria told him. He nodded and headed up the stairs.

About an hour later, a tall boy with red hair walked down the stairs.

"Kaeria?" "Huh? Oh, hi Ron." Kaiera said, putting the mark in her book, then laying it down on the arm of the chair.

"Well, I have kind of a problem.well it's not really a problem.but I don't know what to do. Harry doesn't even know what it is yet, but he says you can probably help me?" Ron said, his hands in his pockets.

"I can see what I can do." Kaeria said, smiling. "Well, I like someone, but I don't know how to tell her. I know she likes someone else already, and I know who it is, but I know him well enough to know that he doesn't like her in that way. How can I let her know that I'm the one that likes her, and not Sea- um, the other guy?" Ron said, his face blushing.

"You like Hermione.don't you." Kaeria said, hopping to her feet. "Well, uh. yeah, but. How did you know?" Ron asked I amazement. "Hermione told me that she liked Seamus, and you let enough slip to let me know who the guy the girl likes was." Kaeria said with a knowing smile on her face.

"Well.How can I do that?" Ron said, shrugging his shoulders. "I think that you just need to be straight up and tell her. Hermione is one of my close friends, and I know her well enough now that that's what she wants a person to do, is tell her straight up." Kaeria said, matter-of- factly.

"Are you sure?" Ron asked, blushing. "I learned earlier tonight that people don't need facades to know the truth. All you have to be is yourself, and good things will eventually come." Kaeria said, sitting down in her chair.

"Well I don't want the embarrassment this year only to have her like me in my seventh year!" Ron said enthusiastically.

"Ron, just think about what I said. I'm going up to bed, I think I've helped enough people for tonight." Kaeria said, then got up. "Uh, Kaeria? I also wanted to tell you this. Well, the reason Harry brought up what he did tonight was because he thinks there's something different in Ryo then in the rest of the Slytherins. I mean, she put her own sister in exile because she was a Gryffindor, but Harry won't listen. I was thinking that you can convince him to forget her?" Ron asked quickly.

"Ron, let me tell you something. Ryo isn't like the rest of Slytherin. Her father may have been a Slytherin when he was in London all of those years ago, but he married a Gryffindor. And also, judging by what I heard tonight from Harry, Ryo is realizing where she really needs to be.and that's with Harry." Kaeria said, then walked upstairs leaving Ron speechless. He just shook his head and walked up to the boys' dormitory.

As she walked up the stairs, Kaeria smiled to herself. She realized that truly, advice can be great power for the people who are too lost to discover it themsleves.
