Pt 2 of chappie 1
Noelle was left alone with Ron. "Well, what did John tell you?" She asked, just to confirm that John told him "everything."
He looked at her, by now he was blushing furiously. "He told me that you liked me back."
Great, he just confirmed her fears. Why did John have to be such a bozo? "Oh.", was all she could manage to say. She liked him, sure, but why did John have to say anything?
"Was he telling the truth?" Ron asked, as if his hopes were about to be crushed.
She looked at him. "Yeah, he was telling the truth. It's just that I didn't want him to say anything." After saying this, she looked up and shrugged. "He's a real idiot."
For the first time since he got in the compartment, Ron actually laughed. "Yeah I could tell that he wasn't too bright." They looked at each other for a minute and then he decided to break the silence. "So, you want to go to Hogsmeade with me, ya know, you don't have to, but since we like each other, uh.do you?"
She couldn't help but smile at his idiocy. "Sure. I would like that..Meet me in the common room when we go ok?"
He nodded and before he left he kissed her on the cheek. Noelle couldn't help but feel herself blush. "Bye, and keep that John away from me." He left.
Noelle was wondering what happened to Stacy, Clare and John by now. She didn't worry for long because they came back with a million strawberries. "Geez Clare, did you vandalize a farm or something?"
Clare was shoving strawberries in her mouth by the dozen. "No, I took them from Malfoy's trunk."
Stacy laughed and told her about how they fought with Malfoy. "John was soo brave. He even HIT him!"
John blushed and Noelle couldn't help but laugh. "Oh what a big strong guy John is!" She thought everyone forgot about what John did so she was relieved.That is until John brought it up.
"Oh Yeah, How was your chat with Weasley?" John asked innocently. She gave him a dirty look and told them all about it.
"Awww, you're going out with him!" Stacy gushed. "That's so sweet!!"
Clare looked like she was about to puke. "CUTE? He's mad nasty."
Noelle shrugged. "He isn't that bad, and we aren't going out yet Stacy.we're just going to Hogsmeade together."
Clare looked like she just swallowed a rat. "TOGETHER???? What about Chris?"
Noelle raised her eyebrows. "What about him? He couldn't care less about me."
Clare sighed. "Whatever. Anyway, when you go with him.make sure to meet up with us at The three Broomsticks. You can bring him if you want."
Noelle nodded. "Anyway, What's the deal with Malfoy?"
Stacy made a mean face. "He's jealous that John was the new Slytherin Seeker."
John made a face at the mention of Malfoy's name. "I took his place this year."
Noelle congratulated John. "Hey, maybe we'll play each other." Noelle was a chaser on the Gryffindor team and so was Clare.
It was quiet for a minute and then Hermione Granger went around telling people to be changed into their robes. "I'd like to show her up one day." Noelle whispered to Clare.
Clare laughed. "I think you should give her a black eye. She would deserve it."
"I'm smarter than she is anyway. I'll show her this year when I beat her out on the O.W.L's" Noelle said smugly.
Stacy and John looked at each other. "We'll see you guys later, we want to talk to someone. Oh yeah, before we got on the train Cathleen said she wanted to talk to you guys."
Noelle and Clare got their things together and soon enough they were at the Great Hall waiting for the first year initiation. They saw Cathleen waving at them from her seat at the Ravenclaw table. Noelle waved back at her. "Clare, are you really okay with me going to Hogsmeade with Ron?"
Clare looked up from a book she was reading. Knowing Clare, it was definitely a Nicholas Sparks book. Her Mom knew some muggles who worked at a bookstore. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
Noelle looked at her trying to see if she was telling the truth. "Because I wouldn't be going with you for the whole day as usual."
Clare laughed. "It's ok, really. I have plans for John and Stacy though. I'll be sure to tell you everything about it. It's gonna be great!"
Noelle laughed and was happy that Clare was ok with it. They launched themselves into a discussion about the school year and what cool stuff they could do with their wands. Noelle was laughing hysterically when Ron walked in with Harry and Hermione. Noelle looked at the floor and realized that she had a dirty look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Clare asked looking at the entrance.
"I HATE Hermione." Noelle whispered so that only Clare could hear it.
"Doesn't everybody BUT Pot-turd and Weasley?" Clare asked.
Noelle laughed and nodded. "I guess so." As Ron sat down with his loser friends, she saw him wave at her. She waved back and then started talking to Clare when Dumbledore made his speech. Noelle thought Dumbledore was awesome. Though after 4 years of practically the same speech, Noelle stared into space until the food came on the table.
"I feel like I haven't eaten forever." Noelle said as she and Clare ate.
"Im still hungry, even after those strawberries." Clare said as she ate a lot.
Dinner went well and it was time to sleep. Noelle found her usual bed which was right next to Clare's and in the corner. They dressed for bed and Noelle and Clare made fun of Hermione and John before finally sleeping. (They used codenames, don't worry!)
