Chapter 8
During Double Potions the same day, Harry found out who she was. Unfortunately, the
Griffyndors still had potions with the Slytherins. Ron and Hermione found this a major
bummer, but Harry saw it as an opportunity to meet the girl. Harry almost couldn't wait
to go to Potions. When it was time to leave for Potions, Harry was actually the first one in
the classroom.
"Congratulations, Mr. Potter," Professor Snape called to Harry. " I won't have to
be taking points from Gryffindor today because of your tardiness." Harry didn't know
what to say back, so he just pretended he hadn't heard the remark. "Excuse me, Mr.
Potter? You are supposed to reply to teachers when they talk to you. Ten points from
Gryffindor." Harry began to protest, then stopped. Professor Snape would just subtract
more points from Gryffindor if he spoke without being spoken to. Slowly, the classroom
began to fill up. Then she came in. She was dressed in the standard Hogwarts attire, but
Harry seemed to think it looked great on her. Harry stared at her as she walked across the
room, and chose a seat. He didn't even realize that it was next to him. He just kept staring
at the delightful face. After a long moments glance at him, she finally spoke.
"Are you really Harry Potter? I have wanted to see you so much! I've heard so
much about you and everything, you know, with you being who you are and all." The
tranquil voice of this sweet lamb brought Harry out of his staring trance.
"Oh, uh, I," started Harry. "I, um, well. I think you're hott." Harry didn't know
what was happening to himself. What had he just said?
"Really," asked the girl, with sincere honesty.
"Yes," Harry replied with no doubt whatsoever. Wait, he thought to himself.
What am I doing? This girl is a Slytherin! She's not even that pretty! Why am I saying
these things?
"So," asked the girl. " Are you asking me to be you're girlfriend or something?"
"Yes!" replied Harry with all the enthusiasm in the world. What was he doing?
He didn't want to be her girlfriend. Maybe he was under some kind of spell.
"Wow," answered the girl. " I don't know what to say. I mean, gosh, on my first
day I'm asked to be Harry Potter's girlfriend. This is such an honor! Well, I mean, I
accept your offer. To be your girlfriend I mean."
"Oh, okay," Harry stated with mass confusion. He couldn't just say he didn't want
to be her boyfriend now. That would be too embarrassing! What was he to do?
"Oh, gosh!" cried the girl. " You don't even know my name. I'm so sorry! It's
Tori. Tori DeMort. So, like, do you want to come to the Slytherin common room tonight
with me? You know. To study our classes. You can help me get organized if you don't
mind."
"Um, okay, Tori." Harry didn't know what to do. As soon as the name touched
his ears, he felt a tingle of pleasure go through his body. He didn't know how to describe
it.
