A/N: This is a really long chapter! It took me a long time to write too, so PLEASE REVIEW!

Harry, Ron, and Hermione started walking in the hall. The teenagers stared. "Uhh, sorry about that. We just are really fast runners, and, um, we were having a race, and um, we stopped there," Harry lied. Ron jumped up and cheered. "Woo hoo! I won!" Hermione lied, "We're so fast you can't even see us!" "OK. I buy that," the teenagers murmured as they left the hallway.

The three wizard friends let out a sigh of relief. "That was a close one!" "Hey Hermione, how did we get here?" Harry asked. "Well, I guess you didn't fix my wand well enough! And I thanked you! You meanie! Wahhhh!" Hermione threw herself to the ground sobbing. "Well talk about Miss Sensitive," Ron muttered.

Just then a blonde girl walked up to the gang. "Hi! You must be new here! Are you lost? Me and my best friend Gordo can help!" she said. A boy with a mop of messy curly brown hair stood next to her. Ron stood up straight. "I'm Ron Weasley," he said. "Nice to meet you," the girl said. She stuck out her hand to Ron. "Uhh, what am I supposed to do with her hand Harry?" Ron whispered. "Just shake-" "Oh yeah! Now I remember! I saw this is in a Muggle movie once!" Ron cried.

Ron knelt down on the floor and kissed the girl's hand. The girl giggled. "Why, I'm charmed!" Ron smiled. "Nice to meet you, Charmed!" he said. The girl giggled some more. "No, silly poo! My name's Lizzie McGuire!" the girl laughed. "Oh." Ron stood up and dusted off his shirt. Lizzie chuckled again. "I think your red hair is cute." "Uhh, thanks, I guess," Ron said.

"Hi I'm Gordo," the curly-haired boy said. He shook Harry's hand. "I'm Harry Potter and this is my friend Hermione Granger," Harry said. "Cool. We have another friend named Miranda, but she's not here right now because she's in Mexico City," Gordo said. Ron leaned over and whispered in Harry's ear, "How come they've never heard of you before?" Harry rolled his eyes. "Duh! They're Muggles, Ron!" Harry murmured back.

"So do you guys want to go to classes now?" Lizzie asked. Then a loud bell rang. Gordo rolled his eyes, just like Harry had. "It's the end of school now, Lizzie? Remember?" Lizzie laughed and hit her head. "Oh, silly me! I guess you lose track of time when you're in love," she said as she batted her eyelashes romantically toward Ron. "Uhh, yeah," Ron laughed nervously.

Suddenly Kate walked by. "What are you doing now, Lizzie?" she said nastily. "And who are you?" Hermione, who hadn't spoken at all, stood up. "I am Hermione Granger. These are my friends, Ron and Harry," she explained. Kate raised her plucked eyebrows suspiciously. "What are you doing hanging out with such cute boys, Lizzie McGuire?!? You're such a nerd! Dumb blonde!" Kate screeched.

Lizzie ran crying into the girls bathroom. Hermione ran off to console her. "Well, Hermione sure has a friend. They're both super sensitive," Ron said. Gordo looked at Kate angrily. "Thanks a lot for making my best friend cry! And FYI, you're blonde too!" he said. Kate sniffed. "I'm blonde with brown highlights. Lizzie's just pure blonde! There's a difference you know! Loser!" she bellowed. Kate stomped off.

"Why'd you stand up for Lizzie?" Harry asked. "Well, don't tell anyone this, but I have a HUGE crush on Lizzie. You probably have a crush on Hermione, right?" Gordo asked. Harry grinned and looked at Ron, who was blushing. "Well, I don't have a crush on her, but someone else I know does!" "Stop it Harry! I do not!" Ron cried.
