Harry and Hermione walked in silence to the house for two reasons- one because they were eating as they were walking and when eating and walking at the same time- they would both rather focus on eating, walking and talking.

Hermione opened the door and they both stepped inside.

Harry and hermione trekked up the stairs and went to their rooms.

Harry placed his new swim trunks on the bed and went to Hermione's room.

" Hermione", Harry said knocking at the door.

" Hmmm?" Hermione opened the door and saw Harry standing there.

" Where is this Rosa's house by the way?" Harry asked.

" Not far but it would be best if we headed on our way because it is 2:45!" Hermione said pointing as t her watch.

Harry and Hermione once again headed out the door and Harry followed Hermione in the direction in which music was getting real louder and louder by the minute.

Hermione was about to cross the street and didn't notice a car coming forward.

Harry grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms as the car zoomed by not even caring if the pedestrian was injured in any way.

Hermione was a tiny bit unshaken as she said," Thanks".

" No problem!" Harry said smiling.

They continued walking towards the certain house.

Harry and Hermione could hear the beat of the music and voices of a lot of people as they were walking on the driveway towards the door.

Hermione rang the bell and waited.

Rosa opened the door with another girl beside her.

Harry and Hermione recognized her immediately it was that girl who was pestering them earlier.

" Hey Hermione and Harry! Glad you could some! Come on inside!" Rosa said beckoning them to come inside the house.

They saw lots of people- muggles dancing to their muggle music, hip hop, slow dance and all that stuff.

There were many girls staring at Harry as they stepped inside.

Harry didn't notice but Hermione did and she walked a bit stiffly giving glares here and then.

But Harry wasn't the only one getting stares- to Hermione it seemed all the boys were staring at her. Yes she had changed a bit- but that had nothing for them to start to like like her! she was really irritated.

" Hermione is something wrong", Harry asked. He now noticed that almost all eyes were focused on them.

"Does everybody staring at you and me have anything to do with it?" Harry asked in a bare whisper laughing a bit.

Hermione couldn't help but smile warmly and she pulled Harry towards a table where her best friend Rosa was motioning for her to come.

Rosa's friends seemed more interested in Harry then in talking to Hermione. They were not doing a very good job hiding it obviously.

Hermione rolled her eyes as she sat down as the girls across from them whispered cheekily.

Rosa looked at Hermione," I am so glad you could make it!" Rosa said.

" Me too!" Hermione said returning a warming smile.

Meanwhile Harry had trouble keeping a straight face as 2 of the girls had their mouths considerably open and had drool rolling out.

He suddenly couldn't help it and started to burst in laughter.

Hermione and Rosa who had been so caught up in talking heard him and saw the scene before him and burst out laughing also.

The girls once again began to talk and Harry was getting a bit bored about hearing the girls talking about lip gloss, boys, clothes and other things.

Hermione noticed and she whispered something to Rosa.

Rosa's face turned into an apologetic face as she turned to Harry.

" Harry I am sorry we should have found someone you could talk with, we just got caught up so we'll find some one now okay! Please forgive me!" She begged him.

" It's all right", Harry said following Hermione and Rosa to a group of boys. They all eyed Harry carefully and seemed quite interested.

When the girls left they bombarded him with questions.

" So Harry Potter is your name, right well nice to meet you! I am Bill", said one boy with sandy hair and dark freckles which matched his light complexion.

" I am Brock", a guy with a muscular and tall complexion said as he shook Harry's hand.

A guy in glasses came up," Hi I am Robert!"

" Yo was up my man, I am Gregory!" he said folding his arms in a cool position.

Harry thought it was an odd way to speak but he figured that's the way they did it now a days.

" Hey Harry, we were about to go play some basketball! Want to join us?" Bill asked.

Harry noticed the basketball in his hands. Harry thoughts traveled to how bad he was during levels 1. But he also remembered it was because he was short.

" Sure let's go", Harry said apprehensive and he followed the guys outside.

Harry walked behind the guys a bit nervously as his mind was whizzing with preoccupied thoughts. He knew how to play basketball and the basics but he didn't know if he was good enough to play with guys his age who would be very competitive.

He sighed which caused Bill to look up.

" Hey Harry loosen up okay, it looks like you are really preoccupied or something", he smile an encouraging smile and Harry felt a bit better.

The boys shot foul shots taking turns.

Harry was surprised that he didn't miss any of them.

Even the other guys were impressed all except Gregory.

" Wow Harry you're real good", Bill and the others chanted.

" Lucky shot!" he said hotly.

Harry turned around to see Gregory staring coldly at him. Slowly he could see Gregory putting his hand inside the pocket of his jacket as Harry placed a hand safely on his wand which was in the pocket of his pants.

The boys eyes narrowed and he studied Harry from top to bottom. He eyed his forhead curiously and recognized the lightning bolt shaped scar on Harry's forehead. He knew who this boy was, besides the name. He knew this boy was one of his kind yet more famous and from the drooling of girls in the party more handsome. His pale blue eyes showed no compassion of anny sort. His eyes showed nothing but the anger and hate brewing through him. He fingered the thing in his pocket more hardly.

Harry stood there with the other boys right beside him staring at the scene before him. There eyes met, cold blue and sparkling green. Harry shivered a bit as he looked at the boys eyes- now to mention it, he looked familiar. he realized now who the girl was who was following Hermione it was him in disguise.

Harry suspended the thought and stared back at the boy who now showed all his sturdy complexion and husky voice as he spoke," Scared are we".

" Not a chance", Harry said.

He was about to reach for his wand but Gregory pulled his out first but before he could say anything there was another voice that shouted, " Expeliarmus!" Mr. Weasley was standing their wand out.

He looked at Harry and said," Are you okay Harry?"

Harry nodded.

There were pops and ministry wizards were coming to the scene.

Mr. Weasley took Harry aside and Harry noticed his wand was out and he quickly placed it in his pocket.

Harry explained what happened and Mr. Weasley merely nodded his head still in thought.

Mr. Weasley looked at Harry his expression completely full of concern.

" I am fine", Harry looked around and saw the ministry wizards doing memory charms on the other guys.

" Where's Hermione", Harry asked suddenly.

"Oh Hermione she is waiting for you inside to leave, she was very worried mind you almost as if she would have a break down!" Mr. Weasley chuckled.

Harry said good bye and went inside the house and it was quiet.

People were watching movies, Harry took this as a good sign that they did not know about anything that took place.

Hermione was sitting on the steps with Rosa.

What surprised him was that she had teas in her eyes.

Harry came over to Hermione who looked up at him and gave him a tight hug.

" Let's go Harry! Bye Rosa thanks for inviting us!" Hermione shouted waving.

Rosa waved grinning at them. She laughed inwardly at the thought 'they would make a great couple' cam up in her mind. She shook her head and went back inside the house.
