****Guys thanks for reviewing. The thing with the paragraphs is that I know
what they are, trust me. I type with them but when I upload the story, I
couldn't get the story to separate, it bothered me a lot too. I figured it
out, thanks for not flaming. As for Loli, this story doesn't fully follow
the 5th book, as most of you have already discovered. But just because she
was never mentioned doesn't mean she want there.
ElizabethMM: I'm not going to flame at you, I appreciate you giving your opinion but you really need to understand that just because Harry isn't always happy doesn't mean he's never happy. And besides if you don't want to read it then stop.
Mooncheese: Thank you for reviewing, I'm glad you like it.
H.P.otter 5: I'm so glad you like it, I promise it gets better a the end of this chapter!
Anyway on with the story:
Chapter 3:
"So how exactly are we going to carry all of that butterbeer up to the castle?" Ron asked on their way down to Hogsmead.
"Its quite simple Ron, its called putting it in big bottles, huge in fact, and then shrinking them to carry them up to the castle." Hermione answered. "You should learn to pay just a bit more attention in charms you know." With that said, they walked into The Three broomsticks just as a loud bang went off in the distance.
"What the hell was that?" asked Harry.
"Dunno, probably the Malfoy and his goons blowing up something or another." Replied a curious Hermione. They walked up to the black marble counter and asked for 3 huge bottles of butterbeer to serve up to 130 kids (the party was for 4th year and higher only.) The person nodded and went into the back of the room to get some. Just Harry turned to look around the room; he spotted Cho and her friends at one of the corners. She looked up from her drink and waved at him to come over.
Harry turned to his friends and told them he'd be back in a minute. He walked over to Cho, "Hi Cho," he said.
"Hey Harry, so what exactly do you need so much butterbeer for?" she said, with an interested look on her face.
"Oh that, we're having a party at Griffindor tower tonight. You wouldn't be interested in coming would you?" he asked, extremely nervous.
"I'd love to, how do I get in, I already know where it is." She said.
"Our password is Gold Phoenix, be there around 9:00. I've got to get up there now to get everything ready but I'll see you tonight." He added, his hands shaking. Hermione called his name so he went back over to the counter to see 3 miniscule bottles sitting on the counter.
"Over did it just a bit don't you think?" he asked.
"It was Ron's idea," she said quickly, blushing.
When they reached the tower, they walked in to see a very impressively decorated common room. There were different colored candles lit everywhere, each with a bright and colorful flame. Also, there were about 50 small ones in the middle to create the look of a dance floor. All the couches were moved away to the sides each with a center table for when people want to sit around and talk. Harry noticed that all the windows had their scarlet and gold curtains coving the windows. There was a huge sign overhead that said, "Party right here! Glad you could make it!" He also saw that there was a bottle on each one of the tables that the couches were surrounding.
Confused he asked, "Why are there empty bottles on each of the tables?"
"Those are for a game called spin the bottle, its what muggles play and I'm sure you know about it don't you?" Ginny asked
"Yea, I saw it on the television at the Dursley's. But why would you want them at Hogwarts?" He asked, still confused.
"To make out Harry, this place is getting so boring it about time we spiced things up a tad bit." She said. The trio walked over to the overlarge food table and placed the butterbeer down. Ron and Harry watched as Hermione cast a charm to bring them back to their normal size.
After sitting around and occasionally fixing something here and there, they decided to go up to their dormitories to change for the party. As they started to head up, most of the people attending the party also came back up after an intense day of snowball fighting. Fred and George also came back with the food and started to set it all up.
Silently as Harry headed up to his dormitory, he thought to himself, I wonder how this party's going to turn out. As much as I want to kiss Cho again, I would never play that game of spin the bottle. He turned the knob of his room door; he walked in, only to find Neville crouched on the floor, shivering, with blood dripping down the side of his head.
* Hope you like it! Review please; I'll update first thing tomorrow, and I'm still working on the separating the paragraphs thing. But I hope the little dotted line worked a little at least.
