Last time: "How does she do it? How does she always figure it out?" Ron said grumpily. "Now, can we all go back to sleep and Hermione, you aren't even supposed to be in here, you know."
"I think the teachers would allow it if they only knew."
"Knowing them, and especially Dumbledore, they know. They always know."
"True. Okay, see you tomorrow morning boys!"
"OUT!"
Hermione said, "Well, someone has gotten up on the wrong side of the bed."
"It's the middle of the night! GOOD NIGHT!"
"Night Harry, night Ron." She walked out quietly and they all went right to sleep. They nearly missed breakfast the next morning because being up late had drained them all of their energy and they had overslept.
"Harry, Harry, did you dream after I left last night? Did you look in the mirror? Do we know the answers? What's the problem? Can I help?" asked Hermione so quickly no one had a chance to answer. She looked so hopeful...
"Actually I slept like a baby and didn't dream at all, not that I can remember anyway. Sorry Hermione."
"Well, maybe you will tonight then." She looked hurt that she didn't get to try out her theory. "Anyway, it's Saturday, so we get to go to Hogsmeade today! I told Amy and Lessa that we would meet them at ten at Gringotts and we can go from there."
"Why Gringotts?"
"It's closest, and Ron, you know you wanna spend as much time as possible with Amy!"
He blushed as red as his hair and murmured, "Yeah, it's a definite plus." Louder he said, "I just wanna get some food, that's all!"
Harry and Hermione just laughed and walked away. Soon, they were on their way to Gringotts. Ron fumed for a minute and then ran to catch up to them.
When they got there Lessa and Amy were waiting. Amy and Ron said immediately that they were going for a drink and that they would meet them at Gringotts in two hours. The others agreed that that was okay.
That left Harry, Hermione, and Lessa alone together. They decided to go to Honeydukes first. They all agreed they needed some sugar and the only place to get any was at Honeydukes. Harry wanted some chocolate frogs and Hermione and Lessa wanted to stock up on Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. They had a private stock of them in their rooms, but they were both getting low.
On the way to Honeydukes the three struck up a conversation about just how nicely Ron and Amy were getting along.
"Yeah, it's sweet. They get along a lot better than Ron and I ever did," said Hermione.
Lessa and Harry laughed. Harry thought about how nice it was to be able to laugh with Lessa instead of just being jealous of her. He really didn't have the energy to want to fight for Hermione at the moment, with the dreams going on and Quidditch and everything. He figured he could share her with Lessa... for a while anyway.
"They sure have gotten cozy fast enough. He disappeared last night for a while and when I went to go find him, he was in the library with Amy. If they were any closer she would have been on his lap." They had another good laugh over that, all three of them. Harry was laughing so hard he ran right into someone outside of Honeydukes.
"Oh my, god I'm so sorry; that was all my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going!" exclaimed Harry as he looked at the pretty blonde, blue-eyed girl he bumped in to. She was about his height, maybe an inch or two shorter, and she had such lovely eyes. They were warm and friendly and crystal blue. He had never seen anyone with such gorgeous eyes. It was like he could see into her soul through them and he found he liked what he saw.
"That's quite alright Harry; it looked like you were having fun. I'm fine; are you?" she asked.
Harry kinda blinked and stared at her for a moment, because she was so pretty. "I'm...I'm fine. Are you? Okay that is." He stuck out his hand to shake hers. "I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Then he realized she had already known his name and blushed a little more. Everyone seemed to blush really easily these days.
She laughed at him. "I'm fine, thanks. My name, by the way, is Rose Henning. Pleased to meet you." She shook his hand. For a moment they stared into each other's eyes. She thought he had enchanting green eyes, just like the pictures in the books. She had, in truth, always wanted to meet him and was elated when it was he she bumped into outside Flourish and Blotts.
"Hi Rose, since Harry forgot his manners, I'm Hermione Granger and this is my friend, Lessa Perry. I'm a Gryffindor like Harry and Lessa's a Ravenclaw. We go to Hogwarts."
"Hi. I go to Hogwarts too. I'm a Slytherin." The three stared at her. A nice Slytherin? Was that possible?
Hermione composed herself first. "Well Rose, are you meeting someone here? Or would you like to join us? We're meeting our other friends Ron and Amy later at Gringotts."
"Uh...no I'm not meeting my friends, they got sick. I would love to join you guys." She never took her eyes off Harry. And he never took his off hers.
As they walked into Honeydukes, Harry just ignored the other two girls and talked to the mysterious Rose, even if she was in Slytherin. Though maybe she was friends with Draco Malfoy, and maybe she was friends with Oliver Wood, he could really care less today. There was just something so...enchanting about her. And the greatest part, though he didn't know this yet, was that she felt the same way about him.
A/N: Yeah so I introduced the girl I had been talking about in my other notes. Yeah, of course Harry likes her so much. Of course she's from Slytherin. Am I getting too predictable here? Anywho, I just want to say thanks to the few people who did review my stories!

Hermi- Yeah I know its short, but it will get longer, I'm trying for over 1000 words per chapter, which is surprisingly easy. Yeah its going to b h/hr, but not for another chapter or two. Can ya tell what's coming?
