Hello, all! This is Catgrl52 here, saying, I just got the best review I could've possibly gotten and unlike SOME people I could mention (a-hem Filia!) I am not going to reply with an angry review. I told my friend about it and she said "wow, I wish I could get a review like that." So someone go read padfoot4eva's story and give her a review like the one that f h c gave to me. Um… now what… Oh yeah!
DISCLAIMER!!!: COME ON PEOPLE!!! Do we realy hafta say "I'm not J.K. Rowling" at the beginning of each story because we are obviously not J.K. Rowling because why in the world would she write a fanfiction when she could just put it in her books and make money of it? So obviously, I'm not her and no money is being made off this blah blah blah blah BLAH!!!
Now for thank yous!
padfoot4eva: you're welcome. I love you too (not in that way! Lol)!
f h c: as I explained before, that was the best review I have ever gotten. Thank you so much for the advice and I will try and cut back. I didn't put any in this chapter I think. Thank you so much! Really.
Ellesar: Thank you!
arimel: you are so weird.
caroline: I know that!
And people, if you think I'm being mean to caroline, padfoot4eva, and arimel, I'm not because I actually know these people.
And now for chapter 3!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry sighed. At the rate they were traveling, they might as well just turn around and head back to the airport because by the time they got to the rental house on the beach, it was going to be the end of the trip and they would have to go home.
Stupid curving road, he thought. If this stupid country had normal roads, like at home, Aunt Petunia wouldn't have gotten carsick and we wouldn't have had to stop, and then I could've finally seen who was in that car trailing us. But since we just HAD to stop at the petrol station, they passed us and I never found out who they were. Harry sighed again and watched the sun begin to set over the ocean.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Varisha wake up, we're here!" Mr. Carson told his snoring daughter. Varisha snorted once, then jerked awake. She sat up, shook herself, looked out the window, and gasped.
They were right on the edge of the beach, 50 feet from the bluest water Varisha had ever seen. Some palm trees swayed in the breeze above them, and the sun was just above the horizon, casting an orange glow on the sand. Gulls called in the distance, and waves gently lapped the beach. Varisha got out of the car, entranced.
"Geet your bags honey! Zey aren't going unpack zemselves, you know!" her mother called from the house.
"Oh lordy," Varisha breathed.
Their house. Oh God, it was the loveliest house in the world. Fresh looking white paint, bright red tile on the roof, perfect garden, beautiful view. I am going to love it here, she decided.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That was the worst thing I've ever written. Well, I guess not THE worst, but pretty bad. But I'll keep it in here anyway. I need to show what the house looks like because I need it for part of the setting later. You'll see…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Next door there was another lovely house just like theirs, only different (ya, real descriptive).
"Varisha! Get inside now!"
She sighed, not wanting to leave the view. "Coming…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Boy! Get the bags!" Vernon growled.
"Get your own bags," Harry snapped back. "I am tired and I wanna sleep! It's your fault that I've been stuck inside that disgusting car all day, and I want to get to sleep!"
"Boy…" Vernon growled a warning.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I must've missed the part that I became your slave! The answer is no!" Harry retorted.
He stormed inside their house with his suitcase. Searching the house, he found a room and flung his suitcase open on the floor, grabbed his toothbrush, and stormed into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, got ready to sleep, and climbed into bed. But Harry couldn't sleep. He stared out the window at the house next door, watching the three silhouettes go about the house. Before long, sleep claimed him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What do you mean, you already have a girlfriend?!?" Shouted Ginny.
"Ginny? Harry? What's wrong?" Ron came into the common room.
"This idiot here invites me to Hogsmede and here I am, thinking he's asking me on a date and I'm all dressed up and he doesn't even notice so I'm thinking ok, kinda strange, but I don't think much on it. Then we come back and I'm STILL thinking this is a date and so a try and kiss him--"
"WHAT?!?!" Ron shouted.
"Ron! Shut up! Anyway, I try and kiss him and he starts kissing me back then after about a minute of us kissing he pushes me back and then he says something along the lines of 'Why did you kiss me?' and I say 'well…' because it's kind of a strange question to ask after someone kissed you and then he says 'Because I've already got a girlfriend' and--"
"Already? WHO?!?" Ron asked.
"That girl I told you about. You know, the one I met over the summer?"
Ron freaked out. "HER!?! Harry! What were you thinking? Don't you know anything about her? Anyway, I thought you liked Ginny! You asked her to go to Hogsmede with you for Christ's sake! I can't believe that this entire time you already had a girlfriend. And not just any girlfriend, some French girl you met on the airyplan!" Ron added. "Do you have any idea who she is? Because I don't think you do! She is the one Dumbledore was talking about!"
"No she's not! You are just jealous because you can't get a date and are to stupid to realize how much Hermione really likes you!"
"Now Harry that's not fair--" Ginny began.
"No!" He turned to her. "You liked me just because I'm famous Harry Potter and then last year you went out with TWO other guys and NOW you want to date me! Well, sorry, because you snooze, you loose. She and I are dating and that's it. Now go away and leave me the hell alone!"
Ron and Ginny stared at him, shocked. "Fine Harry," Ron said quietly. "But don't say we didn't warn you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Woah! What was that? Well, you'll just hafta wait and find out. Yes everyone knows what's basically going to happen but if you are playing dumb and don't, then you'll just hafta wait until I post again. And who knows when that could be? Anyways, I'm sorry this chapter was so short. Love to everyone who has reviewed!
Toodles,
Catgrl52
And the KITTY! ^∙·∙^ --merow!
