?????Harry stared at the girl in front of him. "So, er why are you following me?" She just stared at him a moment before responding "Oh, that's simple, I just moved here and heard from my mum that you were a delinquent and everybody should stay away from you." He gaped at her, "So, you heard I was a criminal, and that drove you to talk to me?"
Well, not exactly. Its just that I don't always fit in," that's apparent he thought as he noticed her cloths, a knee length black dress and fishnet tights, complete with combat boots." And you don't exactly fit in so, I just thought you might be misunderstood too." Harry grinned, for the first time since "Mad Eye" Moody threatened his uncle at the train station. "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. She returned the smile and sat on the swing next to him.

It was almost a month into the summer and two weeks since Harry met Gabby. His prediction became true and they spent a lot of time together. They rarely talked about serious things and harry guessed she had something haunting her too. It didn't matter though, she didn't ask questions, so either did he. During a defense class one Saturday, Tonks confronted Harry on his new friend. "So Har, who's this girl your always hanging out with?" she asked while raising her eyebrows suggestively. "TONKS! Gabby's just a friend. She's fun to hang out with but...not like that. She's like bloody Luna Lovegood."She started laughing hysterically, "Why Harry, I'm appalled. Luna's a very charming young lady!"
"Tonks," he said pointedly, "She said there were Nargles in the mistletoe. Wait, how do you know Luna?"
"Oh, her dad joined the Order, she's been staying there all summer. I thought you knew." She said as she walked to his bedroom door. "Well," he declared, also getting up, "if I was allowed post, maybe Ron would have told me."
"Sorry bud! It's for your own good." Just then, the doorbell rang. "Boy," Petunia shouted," I'm busy, get that."
"Tonks, do you want to stay here?"
"Nope, I have to go pick up y- I mean er I have a meeting to go to. And oh yeah, you cant leave until school starts." Harry sighed, and went downstairs, closely followed by a now ten years younger Tonks. I sill wish I could do that. He opened the door to reveal Gabby and a boy that looked similar to her, so similar he could be her twin. "Hi Harry, this is my twin, Tamas." Well that answers my question. "Hey Tamas." The boy just grunted and asked, "Where's Dudley?" Harry snorted, this must be the new guy he overheard Piers (Dudley's friend) talking about. "He's in his room, second door on the right. "The hostile teenager hurried up the stairs. Harry and Gabby shared identical grins. "I see the resemblance," he commented. "Shut up Potter!" She growled in return as they went in the house. "The only way my mum would let me come say 'happy birthday' is if I brought him. "Harry grinned again, (he seemed to be doing a lot of that lately)"Why don't we go up to my room, er, if you let me tidy it up a bit before you go in? "Tonks left unnoticed.
