Chapter 8
The next day Harry woke up early to read over his schedule. He was the only person in his dorm awake and most likely the only person awake in the whole Gryffindor tower. ((A/N: the time is bout 6:00ish and in my story class don't start till 8:30)) So Harry put his glasses on, grabbed the already crumpled paper that was his class schedule and walked into the Gryffindor Common Room.
Harry was surprised to see that he was wrong, there was one other person awake In the Gryffindor tower and she was sitting on the couch staring into the fire.
"Logan? Is that you?" Harry said feeling quit embarrassed because he was still in his pajamas and so was Logan.
"Yes its me." She said solemnly.
"How long have you been up?" He asked.
Logan looked at the clock over the fireplace. "'Bout a couple of hours. I say two hours." She said not looking tired.
"How come you got up so early?"
She shrugged. "I guess I couldn't sleep. To many things in my head, all circling in my brain. What brings you up at this hour?"
Harry went and sat next to her on the couch. He showed her the schedule. "Looking over my schedule. You have the same one don't you?"
She nodded.
There was an awkward silence while Logan continued to stare into the fire and Harry tried to think up of words to start a conversation.
"So what are you thinking about?" He asked.
She blinked still looking at the fire. Then she looked at Harry and blinked. She stared back into the blazing fire. Harry thought she didn't hear or something because it took her along time to answer. She finally said,
"What I'm going to do with Addy. Where we are going to live. More complicated things, things that still aren't clear to me, things that are crystal clear. And telling Addy who.things, just things."
"Things to do about your parents?" Harry said.
Logan thought a while again. "Sort of. There's other things but."
"Want to talk about it?"
No answer.
"I think I know how you feel, I mean, I lost my parents too. But I never meet them so it's probably different. And I didn't have a brother or sister so it is different." Harry said. He felt that he had made things worse for Logan.
Logan's chin was in her hands and she was tapping her fingers against her cheek.
"Don't worry. I'm not upset. Well yes I am, but you, I mean," She sighed and looked at Harry, her crystal blue eyes found his bright green ones. There faces where only about ten inches from each other. Harry turned a bit red but Logan didn't notice. "I can't say that you don't understand," She said. "Its just, its um, you don't know the whole story. No body knows the whole story, I barely even know the whole thing and I'm the main problem in the story."
She looked down and Harry could breath again.
"What's the story?" Harry asked but he new Logan wouldn't tell him. "You don't have to tell me I mean, I was just asking because I know that it makes things better if you just say things," He remembered how he told Dumbledore about seeing Voldemort. "a lot better."
She gave a slight grin.
"You're a really nice guy Harry. I'm glad to know your there but I'm not exactly ready to tell you the story. And Harry, I'm here for you."
"Okay. I didn't think you would tell me any way. Nobody knows how hard it is to have your parent's dead. You could say we're in the same boat Logan."
She nodded.
"What's going on here?" Said a sly voice. Logan and Harry looked towards the voice. Ron Weasly was standing at the foot of the stairs to the boys dorm grinning like he thought he knew what they were doing. Hermione was behind him frowning. That wasn't it, Addy and her friend Faye Zunno where on their tippy toes to see. Harry would have expected the whole Gryffindor tower to be watching with his luck. Things didn't look to good because Logan and Harry where in their pajamas.
"So much for going over my schedule."
"Well thanks Harry. It does feel better when you talk about things." She hugged him and walked up to the girls dorm, getting a cold glance from Hermione.
Ron rushed over to Harry.
"What happened? Did you kiss or something? Tell me!" Ron said.
"Nothing happened! She was down here before I came down here just staring into the fire. She was upset and thinking about what she's going to do in the summer with Addy because her parents are dead."
Ron gave Harry the 'Yeah right' look and said sarcastically. "Sure, that's it Harry." Then Ron winked at him. Ron walked up to the boys dorm probably to go tell Dean, Seamus and Neville.
Harry was in to it. By lunch this would be all around the school.

The next time Harry saw Logan was in their first class, which was potions. Logan was the first person in class even there before Snape came; of course Snape always came in after the students on the first day. Harry sat next to Logan and Ron gave a little whistle. Logan rolled her eyes and Harry moved down another seat.
When Snape came in he made eye contact with Logan and Harry knew they were mortal enemies.
"Take out your quills and parchment you are taking notes on an Aging potion." He said in his cool voice. He looked at Logan and smiled evilly at her. "Oh yes Logan.Figg our new student." He snorted then went back to the lesson. "We will be using an extremely dangerous ingredient called zyconira to activate the potion.
They copied the notes in silence because they knew the consequences if they didn't.
"Now who can tell me how zyconira activates the potion."
Everyone looked at Hermione, who was thinking of the answer. Surprisingly it wasn't Hermione's hand that was up first. Logan leaning back in her chair slowly raised her hand while Hermione was still thinking.
Snape narrowed his eyes at Logan since she was the only person with their hand up. At least it was someone different then Hermione.
"Yes Ms. Figg?" He said annoyed.
"What the zyconira does is once you mix it with the other ingredients rvsald and jurnisuum it takes them and brings them together, it burns them together to make the potion. Of course there are more procedures but you just asked how the zyconira activates it Severus. I mean Professor Snape." Logan said in one breath. Everyone stared at Logan who was leaning back in her chair picking something out of her nails.
"Two points to Gryffindor, and fire points from Gryffindor."
Logan didn't care. She could care less if she was even at Hogwarts right that moment. She wanted to be with an escaped convict at that moment but she was in Hogwarts and she had to deal with it.
The next day Harry woke up early to read over his schedule. He was the only person in his dorm awake and most likely the only person awake in the whole Gryffindor tower.
