The next couple of days went by with little action. Finally, one afternoon, in the Gryffindor tower an owl came to the common room window. Ron looked over and realized that his name was on it. He rushed to the window then pulled the old barn owl in and gave him a piece of cake he had gotten from the kitchens. The owl ate it and left. Ron came back to the table where he was sitting alone. Harry and Hermione had gone on a walk. Ron opened it with great confusion on his face.

Dear Ronald, Ever since I have known you, I feel like I have known you all my life. Even though we have only known each other for a short while. I mean at Hogwarts. I know that may seem like a helpless crush. But that's how I feel. I don't know if you feel the same way about me or not. I wish there was some way I could find out with out you knowing that I am finding out. Meet me in the Great Hall at 8:30 to find out who I am and why I chose to like you of all the other guys at Hogwarts. I really want you to know. That's partly why I am writing you this letter. Please meet me there. I will understand if you don't want to meet me at all. It's ok really. I wouldn't want to meet me there. I mean after all. I am a Slytherin. And you are a Gryffindor, not to mention, a Prefect. I may mean nothing to you. And I am use to that. I better go; someone is coming over to me in the Slytherin common room. I don't want anyone else to know until I meet you tonight, if I meet you tonight that is. ~From~ Anonymous

Ron looked at the letter. He was surprised, confused, and thinking hard. He wondered who the person was. Ron knew only one person that would have an interest in him. He hoped it was Amara. But he was not sure. He read and reread the letter until someone was sat beside him in the common room.

"What do you have there Ron?" Harry asked. Apparently, he and Hermione had gotten back before Ron finished the letter, but did not say anything until Ron finished reading.

"Nothing, well, it's something, but you promise not to tell Fred and George, they will make fun of me." Ron said as he handed Harry the letter.

Harry and Hermione opened the letter then read it silently, out of respect for Ron of course. When they were done, Hermione looked at him and asked him a question that Harry was thinking.

"Are you going to go meet this person?" She asked as she handed the note back to Ron.

"I don't know yet, I want to know who this person is. I mean after all, the person is in Slytherin. I can only think of one person." He replied.

"Amara." Harry and Hermione said in unison. They looked at Ron. No one spoke for a few minutes.

"I guess I better go get ready to meet the person." Ron said. It was almost 8:00 and Ron knew that he had a long walk to the Great Hall. He put the letter in his back pocket and started to leave. Then Harry called out to him.

"Well good luck Ron. Let us know how it turns out for you." Harry said. He and Hermione went to the girl's dormitory to say their goodnights in private. As it was, they were both tired from the walk that they took.

Ron walked to the dormitory where he shared with his friends and changed into a clean shirt. The shirt he was wearing had gotten dirty from Quiddich practice earlier that day. When he was done, he left the Gryffindor tower and walked to the sixth floor. He took the shortcut, because he did not want to be late. The short cut led him from the Sixth floor to the first floor. It was behind a statue of a wizard that worked for the Ministry of Magic.

Not paying attention to where he was going, he ran into someone.

"Ouch. Weasley, pay attention to where you are going." The voice of the body said.

Ron looked up and to his disgust, it was Malfoy. He stood beside Malfoy for a second. Then he finally spoke.

"Sorry Malfoy. I was lost in my thoughts." Ron said. He looked at Malfoy. Malfoy seemed to be thinking about something.

"Something wrong Malfoy?" He asked with concern.

"Nothing that you would be of interest to Weasley." Malfoy replied.

"Bloody Hell. What is the matter with you Malfoy? First, you say lets be friends, then you get all edgy with me." Ron said.

"It's nothing. I've had a bad day. Sorry about that Weasley. I know I know. I do want to be friends this year. By the way, have you and your friends thought of a date for when the party would be?" Malfoy asked.

"No, we have been busy. But when we do, we will send you an owl so no one will get suspicious. Ok?" Ron replied.

"ok. What are you doing out when everyone is to be in their dormitories?" Malfoy asked. There had been a new rule this year that the students were suppose to be in the Dormitories at a decent time so they would get enough sleep.

"I am meeting someone In the Great Hall. Wait, what are you doing Malfoy?" The red head replied.

"Patrolling the halls. It's my shift tonight." He replied. They said their good byes and left.

Ron walked along the Great Stair well and almost tripped, because he wasn't paying attention. When he looked up, he saw a familiar backside of a student. Ron walked up to that girl. Knowing it was a girl, because he recognized her hair. He tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around.
