Chap. 3 "Trying to Solve a Mystery"

" Yes. It is odd indeed," replied Professor McGonagall.

" And when you said they who did you mean," questioned Harry.

"Why I don't know. There was no signature. Just the note came from an owl. "

" Oh, but my aunt and uncle don't know how to use it. More or less know of any witches or wizards that are their friends. How would it have gotten here if there was no witch or wizard?"

"I simply do not know," said Professor McGonagall as she turned on her heel and left.

Why that's o so odd. I need to do some research with the help of Hermione and Ron. They could help me figure this out. Especially Hermione. With her intelligence, o how I love how smart she is, with her intelligence she could solve this mystery with just me. I'll ask her at breakfast. She's bound to say yes. I hope she does because then we can spend some time in the library ALONE. Ooo that sounds wonderful. I'll just have to ask her at breakfast. Or first class.

.......... In the Great Hall at breakfast........

" Hey Ron. Hi Hermione."

" Hey Harry," the two replied in unison. He said hi to me! Maybe he doesn't hate me.

" Hermione, can I speak to you alone for a sec?"

Surprised she answered yes.

" What is that you want?"

" I was wondering if you would like to help me out with something?"

" Ummm, sure what is it?"

" I'll tell you when we meet. Ron mustn't know about this OK?"

" OK, it's not a problem."

"OK, great let's go eat."

OK, maybe he doesn't hate if it's just me and him and no Ron. I mean Ron's his best friend. Well so am I, but he wouldn't ask me to keep something from Ron, or would he? I wonder why? Does he like me? OMG What if he does! That would be great! Should I ask him? What if he says no would he suspect something? I better not. O but I want to know so badly! O what do I have to lose? A potenial boyfriend? Why not try it? I just gotta do it when we meet. But where are we gonna meet he? Never said where. I'll ask.

" Harry where are we going to meet?"

"The common room, duh! Where else would we meet?"

" I don't know. I'm sorry for asking if you're going to give me that response."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it as badly as it sounded."

"Apology accepted. So the common room, what time?"

"Ummmm, let's say, lunch time?"

"OK."

"Alright now not a word to Ron ok?

"OK for the millionth time," she said smiling.

.......

Where are those two? They've been gone an awfully long time. I wonder what they're doing? Why would he need to talk to her in secret? O, unless he had something to hide from me. But what? Does he like her or something? I must find out.

.............

" Alright let's ding in. I'm starved."

" Yea, me too. I'm hungry."

" I already ate while waiting for you two to come back. What was that about anyways? I mean nothing you can tell old Ron, right Harry?"

" Umm, right. I was just asking her if she had a piece of parchment I could use to write to my godfather."

"Right, I'm sure no really what was it about?"

"Nothing! It's not important. Let me eat please I'm starving," yelled Harry.

God what did I do wrong? All I did was ask a simple question and all he does is blow up in my face. What is this really about?
