The next morning, Harry woke up early with excitement. He couldn't wait to meet the mystery gril from last night and find out about her. He might even ask her to be his girlfriend.
Harry got out of bed, changed out of his pajamas and into other clothes, and went down to the common room to wait for Ron and Hermione to come down. They came down, and they went to the Great Hall to eat breakfast.
Breakast ended and everyone in the third year and above went to Hogsmeade. As they were walking out the front doors of the Entrance Hall, Harry looked around in the crowd to see if he could find the unknown girl. He coulnd't find her. He looked all around. He couldn't stop and look because he would get knocked over if he did. He figured that he would just find her in Hogsmeade.
Ron and Hermione tagged along with Harry because they wanted to see if this girl he was talknig about was actually real. Ron had very little doubt now, but Hermione still didn't want to believe Harry.
"Harry, you could have been dreaming this girl for all anyone knows," Hermione said, trying to keep up with a fast hunting Harry.
"If I really was dreaming her last night, then I would have walked into the castle door and hit it face first as I came in last night. But I didn't," Harry said, looking through the Zonko's window.
"Well, let's get some butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. We can look for this girl after we have some," Ron said hopefully.
"Good idea, Ron. Maybe she's at the pub." Harry broke into a sprint, dodging people to get to the pub as quick as possible. Ron and Hermione ran after him.
Harry arived at the pub and went inside. He stood inside the door and looked around for the mystery girl. Ron and Hermone stood behind him casually after they caught up.
"Harry! Ron! Hermione! Over here!" Nikita called over the people. She waved at them.
There she is!" Harry said excitedly.
"How does she know our names?" Hermione asked, the three of them walking over to the table where Nikita sat.
"Who cares? She's georgous." Ron started drooling as he stared at her. Hermione slapped him across the face. "Sorry," he appologized. He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey. Sorry I didn't introduce myself last night, Harry. My name is Nikita. I was in such a hurry to get back in I completely forgot to," Nikita said.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go get us some butterbeers," Harry said.
"I'll help bring them over. This round will be my treat. Alright?" Nikita asked, smiling.
Everyone agreed, and Harry and Nikita went to get the butterbeers.
"She seems really nice," Ron said.
"I'll never go by first impressions," Hermione said jealously.
"Oh, comem on, 'Mione. I'm not gonna dump you for her," Ron said. He took her hand and started rubbing it.
"You're just saying that," Hermione said. He pulled her hand away from his.
"I am not. I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't mean it," Ron said, pulling her closer to him.
"Really?" She asked.
"Really, really." Ron kissed her.
Nikita and Harry came back with the butterbeers in the middle of Ron and Hermione's make-out session. Of course, they didn't notice.
"Aww, how cute," Nikita said, trying not to laugh. Harry sat down and put his fist in his mouth (literally) to keep from laughing at his friends.
They stopped, blushing. Hermione went back to her seat. Neither of them looked up.
"Don't feel bad. My boyfriend's little sister caught us asleep watching a movie last night," Nikita said, trying to make the conversation more easygoing.
"You have a boyfriend?" Harry asked disappointedly.
"Yeah, I'm sorry if I disappointed you, Harry. He lives right in London," Nikita asked.
"He's a muggle?" Ron asked.
"Yeah. He knows I'm a witch, but he's the only one in his family that knows. He doesn't think it will go well if they know right now. we're waiting a bit. Hopefully my dad gets over me dating a muggle. He's upsed just because I don't want to be a full witch," Nikita explained.
"Your dad sounds very strict," Hermione said.
"And mean, but you guys already know that," Nikita said.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked taking a big swig of butterbeer.
"You guys know my dad. Snape is my dad," Nikita said smiling. They all looked shocked.
"I would have never guessed..." Hermione said, too shocked to finish her sentence.
"How come we've never seen you around school?" Ron asked.
"Dad keeps me locked up in his office. When people come into the office, I get thrown into the closet behing his desk," Nikita said. "You three must promise not to say anything to anyone about me. Besides you, the only ones at all that know about me in the school is my dad and Professor Dumbledore. You can't even say anything to them about me. Promise?" Nikita looked very serious about this.
They agreed. They went back to congragating, laughing, and drinking their butterbeer.
After they finished their butterbeer, they left the pub and walked around for a while. Nikita showed them different tricks on how to fool the people and steal a few small things. She admited that she didn't do this often, but every once in a while when she was short on money, she did.
"You, Fred, and George would get along great!" Ron laughed in amazement.
"Where do you think they learned half of the stuff they know?" Nikita asked.
"You tought them? How come they never mensioned you then?" Harry asked.
"I never directly tought them myself. I left clues for them and they figured the stuff out on their own," Nikita said.
"Like what?" Hermione asked, not totally convinced.
"Like the Marauder's Map Harry has. I left them hints that it was in Filchs office and they found it." Nikita grinned as Hermione took shock.
"You helped them get that map?" Ron asked.
"Yep. That's just one of the few things. But I don't want to brag," Nikita said.
"I thought you said your dad keeps you locked up?" Hermione asked.
"He does. But I have my ways of getting out. There are a few that even have Professor Dumbledore pondering, and he never misses a single trick." Nikita turned to looked at the sweets shop.
They spent the rest of the time strolling around in shops and chatting about different things Nikita did while she was hidden around Hogwarts.
Then it was time for the students to go back to the school, Harry, Ron, and Hermione bid their fairwells to Nikita, and vice-versa. Nikita headed in the opposite direction of the students so that she could sneak back onto the grounds without being seen.
Harry got out of bed, changed out of his pajamas and into other clothes, and went down to the common room to wait for Ron and Hermione to come down. They came down, and they went to the Great Hall to eat breakfast.
