Chapter 5-The Library Date
At breakfast the next day, Harry and the others were situated at the same place, except Dean and Joey were talking up a storm, which made Harry jealous. Then he spotted Cho Chang, a sixth-year, at the Ravenclaw table. Joey also managed to spot this.
"Hey, Hermione, who's that girl at the Ravenclaw table?" Joey asked.
"Oh, her? That's Cho Chang. Seeker for the Ravenclaw team. Sixth-year, pretty short." Hermione replied. She didn't bother with going into details, as it would get too boring. Then they all heard a sound.
"Oh, goody! Owl Post!" squealed Lavender Brown, Parvati's best friend. They giggled, and in a pretty short time owls were flying in, dropping presents and other miscellaneous things. Joey looked up for her owl, Harry for his, and Ron for Pig. They finally came in, swooping down. Ron's owl, Pigwidgeon, got so excited it didn't know who its owner was.
"MARCELLO!" Joey shouted. Everyone at Gryffindor table got totally surprised and had shock faces on them. The bird called Marcello had also gotten excited, and finally managed to find its rightful owner. "You're not here to show off, that's for sure." Joey took the numerous letters of the bird, and it headed off. Harry peered at the letters Joey had gotten. Before he gotten a glimpse at Cho looking at him, blushing furiously. When he got a very brilliant idea.
"Hey, Joey, do you want to study with me in the library? I mean, after lessons, that is?" asked Harry, hoping she would say yes.
"Oh, yeah, sure." said Joey, without looking up at the letter she had gotten from one of her former friends. Dean had tapped her from the shoulder, but that didn't seem to wake her.

After lessons, Harry walked out of Charms, after watching another of Dean and Joey's talkative conversations. Before he touched the stairs, however, he was sidetracked by a giggling group of numerous seventh-years, all of which Harry absoulutely didn't know. They gathered around him and talked to him, and kept giggling and talking. What Harry didn't know, was that Joey had spotted him and the group walking out of the main stairway. Joey kept walking, looking foward, with a hurt look on her face.
An hour later, Harry starting heading up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, as Ron and Hermione passed him.
"Hey, Harry, where were you?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, we tried looking for you everywhere. Joey looked pretty mad that you stood her up." added Ron. Then it all came to him.
"Oh no! The library! I totally forgot all about it! Where is she, is she still there?" Harry started to panic. After he just gotten a date in the library with the new girl, he totally blew it by talking to a bunch of seventh-years he didn't know! Oh, what was he going to do?
"Nope. After we talked to her, she decided to leave and head on down to the common room." explained Ron. This had made Harry's day. He had just stood up the girl that probably idoled him like everyone else!
"Aw, Shit!" Harry slapped his head and started running up the stairs to the Fat Lady's portrait. "Florsdebours!" The portrait opened up. Amazingly, he found Joey sitting in the common room, alone. She had chose to ignore Harry, rather than run upstairs and cry. Before he knew it, he was surrounded by the Gryffindor's Quidditch team.
"Hey, Harry! We need a new captian-and a new keeper!" shouted Alicia Spinnet.
"Yes, that's what we need. And I vote for you to be the new captain!" said Fred Weasley.
"Hold it, HOLD IT! We'll solve the new keeper problem first-I'll go look around. I'll tell you when we have a sufficient keeper." said Harry. He calmly walked over to Joey, and sat at the seat in front of her. "Hey, Joey, did you ever play Quidditch?"
"What? Oh, I played on my school team." Joey propped the book in her face once again. Harry pulled it down. "What position did you play?" It seemed that Harry had put pressure on Joey now, since she couldn't lie. "Keeper. Why do you want to know?"
"Listen. We need you to play for our house's Quidditch team. We don't have a keeper-nor a captain. We do need you." Harry sounded determined to convice Joey to play for Gryffindor. After all, they did need a keeper; and Joey seemed to be the right person. Joey thought for a moment.
"Okay. But only because it's for Gryffindor's sake. And I really need to play, or else I'll have withdrawal!" Joey said gleefully. She seemed to have apologized to him; Harry made a small "Yes!" in celebration of finding a new keeper, even though it was only September (Quidditch season starts in October), he was happy at the fact that they managed to find a new keeper. Harry started hugging everyone he saw, including the seventh-year who all started to push him away.
