Chapter 2

It was the last night before the return to Harry's home, Hogwarts. Harry never really considered the Dursley's house his home... Couldn't imagine why.

The Start of term was as normal as always, although that was VERY hectic. Ron was on the verge of collapsing under the weight of homework. Of course the Gryffindor's would have Double Potions with the Slytherins. Class started out with a slight buzz, until Snape, the teacher who Harry's loath for was only matched by the loathing showed in return. Snape was teaching them a very complicated concoction. Harry, Ron, and Hermione filed in the dungeon to their usual back table. The Potions Master glided in, cloak billowing behind... "I hear the winds of change a blowing," he said more to himself than to anyone else. "The window's open fool" Ron muttered beside Harry. Then all most as if he heard, "Potter, you and your pathetic posse up here...NOW! Snape was pointing a crooked spider like finger at the table directly in front of Malfoy and the "Chub Club" not only that but he would be under the eye of the professor who sat right beside them now. Ron was staring wide eyed at Snape a strange gargling noise was being issued out of his throat, and he was muttering wordlessly. But to Harry's great surprise, he never got around to saying them. Harry, also in disbelief, began moving in hope the others would follow.
Once seated in the new place, Malfoy drawls, "Oh Potter, I am sorry. I know how much you loved your table at the back, everyone has their place." Harry could believe what he was hearing, he turned around and sure enough he sees them snorkeling with suppressed laughter. "Really Potter, do you have to sit there? It's bad enough having to see the back of your head but now you have to turn around and kill me with your face?" "I didn't choose to sit here! Your Idolized professor did. And who knows... maybe you can get some good out of this. Hermione could give you some tips on how to become a bigger idio—" "do I hear a Snot nose child calling one of my students an Idiot?" Sneered Snape. He was like a nightmare! The class went horrible, Draco kept shooting rude remarks behind Harry and he could say anything back! He was so angry at one point that he forgot to add an ingredient and got the potion all messed up. If the supplies are out of sequence, there is no hope for it to turn out right... something that should please Professor Snape greatly. Harry was FAR to used to being picked on by Snape to let it bother him. Once class was over, instead of going to lunch he went up to his dormitory to find Hedwig sitting on his bed with a hot-pink envelope tied to his leg. Harry got the letter loose and opened it. It was a secret admirer.
Harry's day was getting better slowly. He took the letter down to lunch to show Ron and Hermione. He found them and quickly sat down beside Ron. They were giving him a weird sort of look. Probably because of the hot-pink paper in his hand, but harry didn't mind. He gotthe letter out and began reading it.

Dear Harry,

I have been dreading the day that I couldn't contain my emotions
any more. Well it is here. I am writing to you to tell you how I
feel about you. I think you are so nice and I just don't
understand why people give you all that trouble about being famous.
I know you just want more than any thing to be looked at like a
normal person. I have had a crush on you since our first match
against you in Quidditch. I am going to take a leap and do
something that I would have never thought possible for me.

Harry, will you agree to meet me by the one eyed witch before the
next Hogsmead trip? There is something I want to ask you. If you
agree send hedwig back. She will know who to go to. Harry I think
you are so cute. This is hard for me to say. But I know that the
truth will have to get out soon. I am willing to endure the
remarks if you are.

Signed,
Secret Admirer

Hermione rolled her eyes as Ron was laughing so loud that people were turning to look for what was causing the comotion.

Hogsmead was a trip that almost everyone loves. So when Harry woke up the morning of the trip he was taken by surprise when he found himself not as happy as usual, instead he was taken over by nerves. He knew that he would be nervous but he was shocked by how bad it was.

He got dressed and made his way sown to breakfast. He was to busy trying to imagine who sent the letter to eat and realized he needed to get over to the one eyed witch to find out. He bid farewell to Ron and Hermione even though he was going to be in hogsmead with them in a matter of time. He walked along the deserted corridor feeling like the walk was getting longer with every step. Finally he arrived where the letter had said to be waiting. He heard footsteps and his stomach lurched into his throat. He was about to be made into the laughing stock of the school, he could feel it in his bones. What if this was all a gag? What if the so called "Secret Admirer" is just someone up for a good laugh? But when he peered around the corner he saw the obvious admirer… Cho Chang… but she was laughing… with someone. Then a second girl appeared at her side. It was Ginny. He was blushing. "I am so nervous" he heard Cho say… "what if he runs away at the sight of us or something?" "will you give it a rest" Ginny chimed in. "he isn't going to freak out."…………….
