Chapter 4

Harry dint manage to sleep at all that night. No matter how hard he tried, he can't contain this feeling of a nervous breakdown in his head. After one hour of turning and tossing around in his bed, he gave up trying to sleep and decided to learn some more spells again, hoping when he was tired out he will fall asleep. He immediately got up and took the Magical Book of Magic and continued to try and learn to conjure a chair out (he was having problems with conjuring spells). He had perfected his vanishing spells - vanishing a bag of rubbish that he was clearing a few days back.

"Let's see…" Harry muttered to himself. Looking at the book, he cried "Conjuring spell."

Conjuring Spells – Very simple universal spell that requires more of the mind and the body rather then the knowledge. As the book magically showed Harry the actual steps and things he must keep in mind (Just focus on what you want and flick your wand), Harry followed the instructions and tried to make a chair come out.

"Got to focus…" He continued to think about the chair he wanted and flicked his wand, but only small wisps of smoke appeared in front of him.

"Maybe I'm too over confident… I should start on something smaller…" Harry, finally finding out what the problem is supposed to be, took a book out of the school's teaching methods (start from small then to bigger stuff); he has grown very confident of himself ever since he managed to learn how to fold his clothes with a flick.

"Got to focus…" Harry focused his mind on wanting a pillow to appear. With his mind praying hard and focusing on the spell, he flicked his wand.

"Yes!!!" A fluffy looking pillow has magically appeared out of thin air and remained suspended in mid-air, 'held' by his wand. He summoned the pillow to his hands and felt all over it to make sure it's real.

"Yes!!! It's solid!!!" exclaimed Harry, jumping up and down on his bed, but a creak from next door told him that he shouldn't push his luck and wake Uncle Veron up.

He continued to practice his conjuring spell, conjuring out a interesting array of objects and then vanishing it with the vanishing spell, but at 4a.m. in the night he got tired of conjuring things out (he had succeeded conjuring out a chair and a table) and decided he might as well try to sleep, and unfortunately still found it unsuccessful. He then continued to learn some spells and after mastering it, try to sleep again. He continued in this vein until he finally fell asleep near the break of dawn.

Somebody seemed to be above him. Cho Chang!

He blinked. It's not even a human shape, it's something square-ish.

He blinked again. It's just the fluffy pillow he conjured up yesterday still floating in mid air. As he finally woke up and stretched himself, he turned to his bed side and look at the time.

"Oh it's only 10.30a.m…" Harry muttered to himself, apparently still half-asleep, but slowly as his senses got back into him… "Oh My God!!! 10.30a.m? I'm late!!!"

Harry then rushed around his room looking for his clothes. he brushed and combed his hair at the same time and spent a few minutes trying to fit his foot into his jeans until he discovered that he was trying to put his foot through his pillow. It was already 11a.m when he rushed out of the house – he muttered a bye to Aunt Petunia and Uncle Veron was screaming at him for making such a racket getting out of the house. Tonks was waiting for him on the road with a car behind her.

"You're late." Tonks simply stated to him as a greeting.

"Sorry, overslept." Harry muttered.

"Although I will accept that reason but what would your date think? Late on the first date? Tsk tsk"

"Can we just go?" Harry almost screamed.

"Of course. Come, get in."

"Seriously if you always oversleep while you are dating you seriously should learn how to apparate." Tonks continued in the car

"I can't use magic Tonks"

"Of course you can. Didn't you receive an owl this morning stating you are officially an over-aged wizard and the rules you must keep to when using magic around muggles?"

"No? I must be in such a rush I missed the letter"

"Well then let me tell you now that you can use magic anywhere now as long as you're not in view of a muggle. But seriously I think even if they see magic they wouldn't believe it anyway. Oh yes, I forgot your present. Here." Tonks passed to Harry a parcel from the car.

"From all the Aurors in the Ministry" She added when Harry had started to unwrap the present. The present was a blue colored jacket that looks very normal. Harry gave Tonks a quizzed look.

"One of the wonders of the Aurors." Tonks started "Looks and feels like a normal muggle jacket but is charmed with a protective charm that can reflect some spells, or at least take some power off, is indestructible and is able to change colour according to what color of clothes you are wearing. Go on, Try it"

Harry proceeded to put on the jacket, which turned black immediately to go with his jeans.

"Wow… Thanks Tonks"

"You're welcomed."

The rest of the trip to the Leaky Cauldron was fairly uneventful, other then Tonks continued to change her face to decide what to be and the fact that Harry found himself in London within a minute on the roads and the next minute he was already in front of it.

"Now off you go then." Tonks gave him a slight push.

"Thanks and Bye!"

"I'll be following you as a witch with pink hair. And good luck."

Harry broke off at a run through the Leaky Cauldron, muttering a greeting to Tom, the owner of Leaky Cauldron, and ignoring the irritated shouts that came his way. He opened the way into Diagon Alley, and stepped inside.

It was at this point of time, that he discovered to his dismay that he didn't know where to find Cho. "I must remember to fix a more specific place when I meet people" He made a mental note to himself and started to go down the lane, But he had not gone more then a few steps when he noticed Cho standing outside a shop. He was about to sneak up on her and surprise her when he discovered that she was talking to somebody, somebody who he hates deeply. Cho was talking to Darco Malfoy.

Sorry about the late update… I'm having troubles with my projects in school. Well another chapter done. Although shorter then planned, I think it would be nice to stop at a cliffhanger. Anyway please read and review. Btw I'm planning to write a short fic about Dumbledore's end-of-term speech in book 5. If you can recall Harry didn't go for it so it was not written… the speech will hopefully be attached to the plot of this story if written… so what are your views? Should I or should I not? Please review!

Raoulff18 : Sorry man… Having too much problems with school… but rest assured that I'll try to update at least once a week.

Matt : I din't notice it… but I'll try to keep that in mind.

kento : The book will be revealed after this dating part. But it's not as interesting as you might think it is…

chris-warren876 : I'm still working on your idea… planned for it to happen after the date instead of before…

The rest: Thanks for the reviews!!! Keep them coming!!!
