"You guys kissed!" exclaimed Eliza when Janie told her the events of
the afternoon.
"Not so loud, everyone in this school already knows too much about
me."
"Did you like it? Is he a good kisser? How long was it? Did he kiss
you or you kiss him?"
"Blimey Eliza, can't you hold anything in? Of course I liked it, he's
a good kisser, it was long enough, and it was an accident."
"How could it be an accident?"
"Well he was sitting beside me, and after I told him the Snape news,
he leaned over to kiss my cheek, and I didn't know what he was doing
so I turned my head, and his lips landed on mine. Afterwards he said
nothing could make him stop loving me."
"Oooooh! Ron is a great kisser."
"Even better than Harry?"
"Don't bring that up again!" Eliza said as they both heard hurried
footsteps thumping through the corridor.
"Hello Luna," said Eliza.
"Hello both of you. I have been looking everywhere for you Janie,
tell me everything, what did Oliver do when you told him?"
"He kissed her," answered Eliza.
"WHAT?! Finally, I won!"
"What are you talking about, Luna?" asked Janie. Then it hit
her, "You two placed a bet on me!"
"It was only 5 silver sickles."
"Thats right Eliza, now cough it up," said Luna holding out her hand.
"We're sorry Janie, are you mad?" apologized Eliza.
"A little, but now that I think about it, its kinda funny. Oliver and
I have been dating for a long time now and he never kissed me. So
what was the bet?"
"Luna said you would kiss before Christmas and I said after."
"Why don't you both just give me five sickles each and we will call
it a tie."
"We need to get to the Great Hall for dinner, its just about to
start," said Luna, changing the subject.

"Are you doing anything for the holidays, Luna?" Janie asked as she
put a second helping of mashed potatoes on her plate.
"I don't know yet, why, are you?"
"Oliver asked me last week if I wanted to go home with him and stay
with his family."
"WOW! Are you going to?"
"I don't know yet, I think it would be awkward for myself and his
family if I were to be in there house for two weeks."
"I say go for it. Have you met his parents?"
"No, my parents don't even know I have a boyfriend, they're the type
that would bring me home immedietly and lecture me on boys."
"The sooner they find out the better, how would you like it if the
found out from," Luna stopped in the middle of her sentence," don't
look now, but someone who you would not like to see right now is
coming your way."
Janie knew by the sound of her voice it was Flint. "What should I do
Luna?" but it was too late for her to answer.
"Hello Janie," he spat, (Literally)," fancy seeing you here."
"It is dinner, the whole school is in here," Janie said
irritably,"what do you want?"
"I've come to give you a second chance."
"For what," she growled.
"For going out with me. I heard what happened in your potions class
and I think its jolly you two are related."
"Why? So you can score some extra points with Snape? Is Quiddich not
boosting your grade up enough?"
"Oh no my dear, there is much more to it," he said as he drew
uncomfortably closer to her face,"just the way you handle the
quaffle, its so...sexy!"
Janies fist clenched together and she sent a forceful punch to his
nose. Now the whole hall was watching. "There's a nose to match your
teeth!" she said aloud with a grin.
But the grin faded when she saw that all the Professors, even
Dumbledore, had seen what she just did. She new there was no hope.
"IN THE HALL MACPHERSON!" Snape bellowed. Never had anyone heard him
yell so loud.
Janie put her head down and began walking to the main
enterance. "Other hall," Snape hollared after her. So she turned to
leave out the Professor enterance on the side of the Great Hall. She
was rather fortunate she didn't have to make the long hike to that
back with all her classmates eyes on her.
