Chapter Three: Pancakes and Cho Chang
Jessica woke up the next morning and rushed into Harry's room to wake him up. She slowly opened his door and stifled a giggle when she heard Harry mutter, " Oh Cho, you're beautiful. "
Jessica shook Harry awake. He looked at her and shoved her off the edge of the bed she'd been sitting on. There was a loud 'thump' as she landed on the floor.
" Why'd you wake me up? " Harry asked grabbing his glasses off of the nightstand.
" Who's Cho? " she asked curiously. Harry looked at her.
" Where'd you hear that name? " he asked turning red.
" You said it while you were asleep. " Jessica responded a large grin plastered on her face.
Harry rolled out of bed, kicked Jessica out of the room, and began to get dressed. When he opened the door Jessica was standing there fully dressed. They walked downstairs talking about Cho Chang.
Carla heard them before they entered the kitchen. Jessica was broken up into a fit of giggles. Harry looked at her as though Jessica were some demon.
" 'Oh Cho, you're so beautiful.' " Jessica said laughing
" Laugh it up. Wait until I get something on you! " Harry said feeling quite flustered. He thought of Ron and Hermione, and how Ron had laughed when Harry had asked Cho to the Yule Ball.
The Weasleys were spending their summer in Romania with Charlie. The Grangers were vacationing in France again. Harry was sure neither of them would be back until a few days before school started. 'But I could be wrong,' he reminded himself. Harry had told Jessica about them and she had said (Harry noticed in a very casual tone) they both sounded interesting.
When they reached the kitchen Harry and Jessica found a stack of pancakes awaiting them. Also were two glasses of Orange Juice. Carla was putting dishes away when the two of them began to eat.
" You two better hurry. We've got loads of shopping to do. Harry do you have your list? And your Gringotts key? " Carla asked, shutting a cupboard.
" Yes. " Harry mumbled. He took a few pancakes off the stack. Carla turned her glance to her daughter.
" Do you have yours? " She asked. Jessica grinned sheepishly and pulled it from her back pocket. " Good. "
Harry finished his last pancake and put his plate, cup, and fork in the sink. Jessica followed glancing at her list. She'd decided to take Divination and Care of Magical Creatures. Those had sounded fun to her, but Harry had told her the Divination teacher was a nutter butter.
" Harry you've traveled by Floo Powder before, haven't you? " Jessica asked joining him and her mum.
" Yeah. " Harry said stepping over a picture on the floor. He quite well remembered the time he'd gone to Diagon Alley and ended up somewhere he swore he'd never go again. Knockturn Alley.
Jessica looked at him curiously. 'He's too easy to read. Too obvious. He just puts his thoughts out there.' She thought watching Harry nervously grab the Floo powder and throw it into the fire. He said "Diagon Alley" and was gone in a flash of green fire.
Carla glanced at Jessica. " Stay with Harry and don't go into Knockturn Alley or anywhere near there. Meet me at Flourish and Blotts in half an hour.
" I promise I'll behave. I promise. " Jessica muttered.
Jessica grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fire. She stepped in the green flames, closed her eyes, and muttered "Diagon Alley."
When she opened her eyes again she found herself in the dim light of the Leaky Cauldron. She quickly sought out Harry and they made their way through the brick wall into the busy streets of Diagon Alley. Wondering what suprises awaited them.
((Author's Note: I know this chapter is short, but chapter five is shorter. Just to let you all know I have the first twenty chapters done. Heeheehee. I'm so funny sometimes. This might be the first story I finish. That isn't for school! In the next chapter we meet two new characters and then we're off to Hogwarts. Whoosh!))
