At that moment Ron walked down the staircase sleepily followed by Neville,
Seamus and Dean all wanting to do some late homework.
They spotted Harry and Adeline and stopped in their tracks. All four jaws dropped to the ground. Harry opened and saw his friends staring at him and Adeline. He pulled away.
" No guys it's not what you think!" exclaimed Harry as Adeline turned around to face them.
"Yeah sure it isn't!" grinned Seamus.
The four of them went back to their dorm with grins on their faces. Adeline got up.
"You happy now? Tomorrow this will be around school. Cho'll hate me and Brooke will try to kill you," said Harry pacing up and down the common room. The two of them heard Hermione close the door to her dorm.
Adeline sat down in a chair and Harry picked up his book and back to his chair.
"Oh good you two are getting along," said Hermione coming down the stairs.
There was a bang on the wall near the fireplace.
Hermione looked puzzled at Adeline who shrugged. The wall opened and in walked Brooke.
"Hello Harry. Who are these people?" asked Brooke.
" Hey Brooke. You know Hermione and this is Adeline Cho's older twin sister," said Harry introducing them both.
" Harry I was wondering if I could talk to you a minute. Alone." asked Brooke.
"Sure" said Harry putting down his book and getting up.
As the two of them walked away Hermione hissed to Adeline " I don't trust that girl."
" So what did you want to talk about?" asked Harry.
" Well I was wondering if you would like to sit next to me in potions tomorrow." asked Brooke.
" I...erm...." stuttered Harry looking at Hermione who was mouthing no.
"Well?" asked Brooke her large eyes working over time.
"Sure I guess so." shrugged Harry.
"Great see you then," said Brooke giving him a kiss on the cheek.
She went back through the wall saying nothing to Adeline or Hermione.
"Psst Adeline." came a voice from under the floor.
Hermione lifted the rug and the trap door to reveal Cho standing there. Adeline noticed Harry blush as he saw he and put up his collar again.
"Hey Cho." said Hermione.
"Hey Hermione, oh hey Harry.", said Cho also blushing.
"What do you want little sis?" asked Adeline.
"Oh yeah right." said Cho pulling her gaze from Harry to her sister.
"The Ravenclaw ghost is on the prowl. I came to warn you to come back before he notices you're gone," said Cho.
"Thanks sis. Well see you Harry, Hermione.", said Adeline jumping back into the tunnel and following her sister back to the Ravenclaw common room. Hermione let the rug recover the door when Sahara called "Hermione its me.".
"Hey Sahara. You got the cover-up?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah right here. Where'd Adeline go?" asked Sahara.
"She went back to your common room. Apparently the ghost is on the prowl." said Hermione.
"Oh shit! Look I've got to go. Quick get it off me while I leave o.k. See you," said Sahara disappearing into the darkness of the tunnel.
"Accio!" said Hermione with her wand. The cover-up in Sahara's robe floated to Hermione's hand.
Harry put the rug back over the trap door.
"Well I'm tired can I go to bed now?" asked Harry.
" Oh all right. Take this though you'll need to put it on in the morning," said Hermione shoving the cover up into Harry's hand.
" What are you kidding? I can't take it into my dorm. The other's think I'm a puff." exclaimed Harry shoving the bottle back into Hermione's hand.
" Look Harry you don't have much Choice unless you want Cho to see It." yawned Hermione.
" Fine I'll take it yeah!" snapped Harry stuffing it in to the pocket of his robe.
" Good now if you don't mind I'm going to bed." yawned Hermione climbing the steps to her dorm.
Harry climbed the stairs to his dorm and opened the door to find the rest of his dorm mates waiting for him.
" Well?" grinned Seamus.
" Well what?" shrugged Harry changing into his pyjamas.
" Don't play dumb with us Romeo. You know what he's asking about!!" complained dean.
" Oh you mean that kiss with Cho's older sister? There's a reasonable explanation," spluttered Harry hanging up his robes.
" Well if there is we'd like to hear. Right guys?" said Ron.
" Right!!" said Neville, Seamus and dean in unison.
" O.k would you believe me if I said she was trying to get me to be hers?" asked Harry sitting down on his bed.
" Well if you tell us the situation we'll decide whether or not to believe you," sighed Neville getting bored.
" Well see it's like this. She admitted that she's had a crush on me for a while and I told her it wasn't going to happen. So she said something like ' I might be able to change your mind.' before she kissed me and then you guys caught us. So that's what really happened O.k.? So do you believe me?" asked Harry.
" I guess so," murmured Ron before he fell asleep.
" Yeah we believe you. There was a rumour going around the train that you kissed Cho though. So is that true?" asked Seamus.
" Well if you really must know. Yeah...yeah its true." sighed Harry.
Suddenly there was a knock on the wall.
" What's that?" asked dean.
" Just some one from Hufflepuff I think." said Seamus getting up and answering it.
"Hey Seamus. Heard you were talking lover boy potter's moves and thought you might want to know something I heard from a reliable source." smirked Justin finch Fletchley.
" Oh no!!" groaned Harry.
"Sure!!" said Neville, Seamus and dean.
"Well I heard that Harry had a secret necking session with the new slytherin chick Brooke Malfoy on the way to Hogwarts." smirked Justin sitting down in Neville's chair and creasing his robes.
"Oh really." swooned dean.
" Well you've been busy today haven't you potter?" grinned Seamus.
Harry groaned.
" I hate to be awful Justin but get off my robes!" yelled Neville.
Justin jumped up in surprise.
" What do you mean he's been busy? From what I've heard Potter's only had two snogging sessions. One with Brooke and one with Cho the babe." puzzled Justin.
" Well obviously you don't about the snog potter had with Cho's oldest twin sister." grinned dean.
" Ohmigod!! I've got tell Ernie!!" yelled Justin before running back into his dorm.
" Don't tell Cho!!" yelled Neville after him seeing the look on Harry's face.
"Thanks a lot guys! You do realise that by breakfast tomorrow Cho'll know not only that i snogged Brooke Malfoy but also that I snogged her oldest sister!" snapped Harry climbing into bed.
" Sorry Harry!" Chorused Neville, Seamus and dean.
" Its o.k. I just really love Cho that's all," sighed Harry laying down.
" Yeah we know." smiled dean.
" How long have you known?" asked Harry sitting up and looking daggers at a sleeping Ron.
" Since second year." grinned dean.
"RON!!!" yelled Harry waking up Ron.
"WHAT? Was I snoring or something?" asked Ron.
" Nope you've done more than that WEASLEY!" yelled Harry getting up off his bed.
" Uh oh. Potter's lost his marbles," hissed Seamus.
" Run Ron run!" yelled Neville.
Ron got up and ran out the dorm. He ran down the stairs and into the common room where Fred and George were doing last minute homework. Harry ran after him.
" FRED, GEORGE, HELP!!" shouted Ron circling the table where his brothers were sitting.
" Harry is trying to kill him Fred."
" Lets leave him to it George if we don't get this homework done Trelawney will send us to Dumbledore again."
" What's going on here?" asked Percy with a yawn as he walked down the steps from the head boy room.
" HELP PERCEE! HARRY'S TRYING TO KILL ME!" screamed Ron as he ran round the table, with Harry right behind him.
" Harry I'm surprised at your behaviour. Especially since you are a prefect and a usually calm guy." snapped Percy.
" Yeah well he blew it this time. Come 'ere Weasley!!" yelled Harry still running.
" What's going on?" asked a tired Hermione from the stairs to the girl's dorm, rubbing her eyes.
" Hermione help me!!" yelled Ron causing the whole of Gryffindor to wake up.
" Oh for Merlin's sake Harry! What's Ron done this time?" asked Hermione getting angry.
" He told the others about my secret." exclaimed Harry swinging a punch.
" Ron hold it," said Ginny stopping her brother.
" What?" complained Ron.
" You mean you told your dorm mates your best friend's secret?" gasped Ginny. The whole of Gryffindor even Ron's brothers' tutted in disapproval.
" What? I thought Harry wouldn't mind since they are his friends too." explained Ron.
" But you should have asked him first." exclaimed Ginny getting annoyed with her brother's stupidity.
" I knew he would get angry," moaned Ron.
At that moment the portrait gave a warning call.
The all of Gryffindor ran to their dorms fast not wanting to get a detention.
Harry climbed into bed angrily facing the wall. He could hear the others whispering about what had happened, Ron trying to explain.
************************* Hermione sat on her bed absentmindedly stroking a sleeping crookshanks. Lavender and parvaiti were sat on the window seat over looking the forbidden forest talking about the fight. Shelly moon and sally Anne perks were still asleep being the only two people in the whole tower who had slept through Ron's shout.
Hermione climbed into bed after stroking crookshanks good night.
She knew that tomorrow Harry would refuse to talk to Ron at all.
They spotted Harry and Adeline and stopped in their tracks. All four jaws dropped to the ground. Harry opened and saw his friends staring at him and Adeline. He pulled away.
