BACK TO THE GYFFINDORS

Eliza was walking back to the Gryffindor with Harry who was moaning

and pouting about his recent loss against those "horrible,

unmanageably Slytherins" as he refered to them.

"Hey be careful there, Potter, I got some good friends over there in

Slytherin." Eliza teasted, in a voice that sounded awfully like

Draco Malfoy.

Harry just laughed along but then stopped in the middle of the

hallway and turning to face her.

"You know, "Liza, you're one of the most wonderful girls I've ever

met. Hogwarts is really lucky to have you."

"Why thank you very much Harry," Eliza started, very

flattered, "What brought this on?"

Harry just stood there, staring dreamily for a few seconds until

Eliza snapped her fingers in front of his face.

"Hello? Earth to Harry! Come back from the stars there, spacey boy."

Eliza said giggling.

Harry came back to reality and realized she was giggling at him

which made him feel quite foolish and turn his head to hide the

blush quickly rising in his cheeks.

"Hey, it's ok," Eliza said taking Harry's hand in hers, "I know I'm

a doll but what can I say, no one can resist my charms." She winked

at him.

"No I can't." And with that he leaned down and kissed her gently,

shocking the tar outta her.

The little kiss slowly turned into a big, long, full out snog

between the two.

Quickly realizing what was happening, Eliza broke the kiss and took

a step back away from Harry.

Harry stood gaping at her for sometime until she just smiled sweetly

and said:

"Why don't we just go back to the dorms now?"

And with that she was off without a backward glance at him.

Back at the dorms, the common room was buzzing with the news of the

Gryffindors loss to Slytherin.

"I can't believe it!" A Second year student exclaimed.

"The first match of the season and we aleady lost!"

"And to SLYTHERIN no less." The Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood

ranted.

"It's ok Oliver, you'll have plenty more times this season to win."

Eliza comforted him with a slight tap on the shoulder.

She had grown quite fond of the 7th year boy who was by definition

the "love of Janie's life." He was a total sweetheart, though a bit

eccentric when it came to his sport.

"I am happy for Janie though, she played really well, don't you

think Eliza?" Oliver asked, his mood suddenly lifting at the thought

of his girl.

"I think she was marvelous out there, just splendid."

Eliza glanced over and caught Harry's eye, but he quickly looked

away. She didn't have much time to analyze the situation because a

firey red head suddenly plopped down next to her, otherwise known as

Ron.

"Heya Eliza! How's it going?" He asked, always excited about

something.

"It's going pretty good Ron, how bout those Cannons, eh?"

Everyone had heard the news from the Daily Prophet, the Chudley

Cannons, Ron's favorite team were about to break a world record of

teh longest Quidditch game in the century.

"OH BLOODY! You know that's been going on for over a month now!"

Eliza beamed at him, he was just so cute when he was excited. What

was she thinking, kissing Harry like that?

With that thought she cast another sidelong glance at Harry and

found him glaring Ron, his best friend in all the world, down.
