-Few weeks later-
The weekend. Finally. Everyone was glad it was the weekend, as always. But it didnt stop the teachers - especially Snape - from piling on pounds of homework to do over the two day break. Zende was just about to head up the stairs with her books to finish up the last of her homework when Harry called her from behind.
"Zen!" he shouted. They had all started calling her Zen for short. She turned around to see Harry in his game robes, and Ron beside him. Harry looked exhausted, like he had just finished practice again.
"We're all going to Hogsmeade in a bit, want to come with us?" He asked.
"Yeah, sure." She smiled at him. "I could use a break from the homework."
"You and me both," Ron groaned. "A butterbeer sounds good right about now."
"Alright, well, I'm going to get out of these robes." Harry said, and headed up to change. Ron flopped down on the couch by the fireplace and smirked at Zende as she joined him.
"Whats with the smirk?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing," Ron grinned, turning away and looked at the fire. Zende just shrugged it off and finished the last bit of homework. After a while, Ron still had that silly smirk.
"Alright," Zende said, throwing a paper ball at his head. "What's with the smirk?"
"I can't tell you!" Ron said, throwing it back.
Zende gave him a mock hurt look. "Why not?"
"Harry told me not to," he said simply. "But that doesn't mean you won't find out..."
"Find out what, exactly?" Zende raised an eyebrow. This was all just strange. Her and Harry had been getting along really, really well.
"Everyone's kind of already kind of at Hogsmeade." Ron said quietly.
"What do you mean?" Zen asked raising an eyebrow even more.
"Well... er... Sil and Fred passed us in the hall and asked us to come... only.. Harry wanted to get out of game robes and ask you to join." He explained lowly.
"So...?" that wasn't all anything unsual.
"Honestly Zen, with the way you've been quicker then Hermoine at answering questions, I'd thought you'd figure it all out by now." Ron said, and before Zende could even think up a response, he looked past her. "Hiya Harry," he said, in a tone that only ment to drop the subject right there. Zen took the hint and turned around to find Harry at the bottom of the steps, in street clothes.
"We leavin now?" Zen asked, trying to figure out what Ron was talking about. Maybe Silver knew.
"S'pose so." Harry shrugged.
Silver and Fred were already on their way to Hogsmeade. George went with Alisha of course. When Silver and Fred saw Harry and Ron in the hall and asked if they wanted to join, they agreed to meet at The Three Broomsticks in an hour or so. While waiting for the others to show up, the pair went around the small town, heading to Honey Dukes first. They walked around Honey Dukes for a while before deciding to grab a few boxes of Bernie Bots Every Flavor Bean. After Honey Dukes, they just lulled around Zonko's Joke Shop for a while, laughing about different things they had there and trying them on one another. Finally, it was time to meet Harry, Ron and Zende at The Three Broomsticks Pub. As Silver and Fred were heading to the pub, they, surprise surprise, ran into Draco Malfoy.
"Well, if it isn't the weasel and the mineral herself," Malfoy said with a smirk.
"Back off, Malfoy," Fred said glaring at the smaller boy.
"Why would I want to do that, Weasel?" Malfoy hissed.
Fred didn't answer but looked around Draco, "Where's your goons?"
"Where my 'goons' are, is none of your business," Malfoy said narrowing his eyes to Fred, then moving them to Silver, where they went back to normal. "Why are you with a loser such as this?" He directed his eyes towards Fred.
"Because, that loser is one of my best friends," Silver said trying to keep it cool.
"Oh, well too bad," he smirked, "I'm way cooler than, that thing. Anyways, I best be going. I have people to meet. See ya around, Silver," again, Draco lifted his eyebrows to Silver with a sexy smirk, and a glare to Fred and left just as fast as he appeared.
"Gee thanks, Silver!" Fred said turning on her.
"What?!" she asked looking at him confused.
"For calling me a loser. Is that what I am to you?" Fred asked hurt.
"Fred, that's not what I meant. I don't think you're a loser. Why would I? You're one of my best friends, and I love ya to death," Silver said patting his arm. "Come on, we have a date with three other people." With that, Silver and Fred walked into The Threebroom sticks, looking around for the other three. Appearantly, they haven't arrived yet, so they went and found a deserted table towards the back.
"I'll go get us some butterbeers," Fred said smiling at Silver, then heading to the bar. Sitting there, Silver looked around the pub, seeing everybody and anybody that went to Hogwarts. While still looking around, she spotted Ron, Harry and Zende walking in. Silver motioned for them to come over. Ron was the first one to see her.
The three friends made their way over to Silver. "How's my favorite girl today?" Ron said plopping next to Silver, slinging an arm around her, smirking.
"I'm doing just fine. Thanks for asking," Silver said with a bit of a laugh.
"Where's Fred?" Harry asked, sitting down across from Silver and next to Zende, looking around.
"Oh, he's getting us some butterbeers," Silver answered, gesturing toward Fred over at the bar.
Ron looked up at Fred, who caught his attention and put up three fingers then a thumbs up, which Fred rolled his eyes to.
"You're so nice, Ron. Make him carry five butterbeers by himself," Silver said with mock rudeness.
"I'll help him," offered Harry.
"You're too kind," Silver grinned at Harry and winked. Harry looked horrified and went over to help Fred out.
"What was that about?" Zende asked, seeing the whole thing.
Ron was smirking like mad. "Oh, it was nothing. Just a brother/sister thing. That's all, nothing to worry about," Silver said wanting to burst out with laughter. Just then Harry and Fred came back with the butterbeers, along with Cho Chang to help with the remaining butterbeer they couldn't manage to carry.
"Thanks Cho," Harry smiled at her for helping.
"It's no problem," Cho said answering with a smile, then went on her own way.
"You two are such wussies, you had to have a girl carry the other butterbeer, you couldn't manage to carry yourselves?" Silver said with a laugh, followed by Ron. Zende, too laughed.
"Be quiet, Silver," Harry glared at her. "Let me see you carry five butterbeers by yourself."
"I'm sure I could carry five, but I can surely carry three!" Silver howled.
"I bet you, three sickles you can't do it," Fred said, urging Silver on.
"Oh, Freddie, Freddie Freddie. Haven't you learned your lesson, yet? You can't win with me," Silver said with a grin. Zende sat back enjoying all of this.
"Whatever, I'm just sure you can't. You've got little arms," Fred grabbed onto her biceps.
"Just because they're small, doesn't mean I can't carry more than you think. You're on," her and Fred shook on it. With that, Silver picked up, not only three, but four, mugs full of the tasty beverage, without spilling a single drop, nowhere near the table to prove she wasn't cheating. She stood there for a few minutes to prove she wasn't no chicken. Then she sat them down where they belonged and grinned at Fred. "Where's my three sickles?"
He fished in his pockets, mumbling something and put the sickles in Silver's opened hand. Zende and Harry laughed at Fred. Ron did too, but with a mouthful of Bernie Bots Jelly Beans. Fred looked over at Ron with a horrifed look on his face. "RON!" Ron looked up at him with bugeyes. "Where did you get those?"
"Uh.." Ron moved around some jelly beans in his mouth so he could be heard clearly. The girls ewed, with a laugh. "From the box, that was on the table."
"Ron! Those aren't for you! They're mine and Silver's, ya hog!" Fred puffed. Zende, Harry and Silver couldn't help but laugh. Ron only muffled a 'sorry.'
Not long after that, everyone agree'd to just walk around Hogsmeade. No one really had any idea what to do. Ron was still smirking like a madman whenever Harry would talk to Zen, and Silver was just grinning stupidly.They found the empty snow covered field by the Shreiking Shack and just hung around there.
"Alright," Zende rolled her eyes at Silver and Ron once Harry had gone to talk to Fred.
"What?" Silver asked, like she was trying to hold in a gigglefit.
"Whats up with you two? You're acting very strange." Zende said.
Silver just shook her head. "It's nothing." Ron just nodded.
"Oh please. Whenever he talks to me you two go into giggle and smirk fits!" Zende laughed. "You know something I don't."
"Maybe," Silver said simply. "You'll find out when he's ready."
Zende raised an eyebrow and then sighed. There was a long pause for a while.
"Oh for heaven's sake!" Ron said impatiently, causing Zen to look at him suddenly. "Harry likes you!" he said, a bit too loudly.
Silver jumped and quickly slapped her hand over Ron's mouth. "Ron you idiot, shut up!" she hissed.
"What do you mean he likes me, we are friends.."Zen shrugged.
"No, we mean more then that." Silver said quietly. Ron just nodded, his mouth still being covered by her hand.
"Oh..." Was all Zende could say. She honestly had no idea. Silver suddenly looked past her, and let go of Ron. Ron looked a bit scared so Zende turned around. Harry had heard the whole thing, and he didn't look happy. He was inching his way out of eyesight. Once he noticed Zen looking at him, he left quicker and soon disappeared. Silver poked Zende in the back. "Go get him before he really hides," she whispered. Like Zende needed to know that. But she went anyway.
She was thankful this time for the snow. It made it easier for her to find Harry; just follow the footprints. After about half an hour, Zende found him. Sitting on some giant rock staring blanky at a frozen lake. She didn't need to look at him to know he was embarassed.
"Harry," she said, somewhat breathlessly walking up to him from behind. He moved a bit, but didn't answer. "Harry, c'mon." she sighed.
Still no answer.
"Harry!" she said and threw a snowball at his back. He still wouldn't answer. He was more embarassed then she'd thought. Probably a bit pissed off at Ron, too. Finally she sighed and walked around to face him. "Harry, it's alright," Harry just looked at her blanky.
"Easy for you to say," he said softly. Zen sighed and crawled up to sit next to him on the rock.
"I kind of asked what was going on..." she told him. He looked at her. "I mean with the smirks and giggles. It was...unusual..?"
"Ron still shouldn't have said it like that!" he said loudly.
"Well I'm glad someone told me, I'm no mind reader," Zen told him calmly.
"I was going to say something...eventually..." he said quietly.
"Yeah? When, two months from now? Next year?" Zen asked sarcastically. Harry just gave her a look. "Harry, c'mon, if Ron hadn't accidently spilled it out...."
"Yeah, what?" Harry said as though no good could come from it.
"Oh stop being so cynical about it, Harry," Zende sighed. They just sat there for a while quietly, looking at the frozen lake. Zende had no idea what to do next.
"I s'pose you're right." Harry said quietly all of a sudden.
Zen looked at him. "Of course I am. Haven't you learnt that already?"
Harry smiled. "Well.. who know's how long it'd take for anything to get done.."
"Exactly," Zende smiled at him. "So no hard feelings against Ronnie?"
Harry laughed and shook his head. "No hard feelings," he said.
"Good!" She smiled.
"You know.." Harry said, moving a bit closer. "If you hadn't found out sooner, I spose it'd be a while before I'd get to..." and he trailed off and kissed her. It was a bit surprising at first, but nonetheless, she kissed him back.
"What's taking them so long?!" Ron said, walking around in circles.
"Ron! Will you stop? You're getting me dizzy!" Silver said grabbing her head. Fred headed back to town because George wanted to meet up with him for a while, so it was only Silver and Ron now.
"I can't! They've been in there for what..? Almost an hour! I just can't take the intensity anylong!" he fell down in the snow causing Silver to laugh.
"You're such a dork, Ronald," Silver laughed, shaking her head.
Ron picked his head up and looked at Silver, "I am, am I?" He smirked like a madman, like he's been doing all day.
"Now what are you smirking about, Weasley?" Silver looked down on her friend.
"Oh nothing," he smirked. Without warning he pulled her down in the snow with him.
Silver let out a shreik, "Ron! Wud you do that for?"
"Just because," he said grinning, then pounced on her. Silver let out a 'hmph,' then Ron started to tickle her nonstop, sitting on her legs so she won't kick.
"What.." Silver laughed, "are you doing?" She laughed more.
"Tickling you, my dear. What do you think I'm doing?" Ron tickled her more, causing her to giggling uncontrolably. Just then Zende and Harry came out of the woods holding hands, looking at Ron weirdly.
"Is there something you're not tell us, Ronnie?" Harry said loudly.
Ron practicly fell off of Silver with a scream and turned as red as his hair. Silver laid in the snow laughing her head off. Looking up, Ron's jaw dropped almost to the snow covered ground.
Harry laughed at the expression on his friends face, "What's that for?"
"Are you two together now?" Silver asked looking at her 'brother.'
Harry looked at Zen, Zen looked at Harry and they both looked at Silver and nodded at the same time. "Ooooh!" Ron said then got up off the ground and started skipping around in the snow, "Zende and Harry sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love then comes marriage, then comes a baby in the baby carriage. Take out the diapers! Take out the pins! Oh my gosh, they're having twins!" Harry blushed wildly.
"Ron!" Silver backhanded Ron in the chest as they both got up.
"Ouch!" Ron said rubbing his chest.
Rolling her eyes, Silver said, "Oh, that didn't hurt, ya big baby!"
"Quiet you two," Harry said looking at his watch, "Besides, we better be heading back to the castle, it's getting late." Everyone nodded and headed back towards town.
Silver ran and jumped on Ron's back. "Give me a piggie back ride, Ronnie Pooh!" Ron just laughed and carried her on his back the whole way back to town, while Harry and Zende held hands. As they walked past The Three Broomsticks, Silver saw Draco standing there and winked at her as they all walked by him, not even noticing them. Silver just shook her head as they continued back to the castle. Getting a bit tired, Silver yawned and rested her head on Ron's shoulder. Zende and Harry were still holding hands.
The weekend. Finally. Everyone was glad it was the weekend, as always. But it didnt stop the teachers - especially Snape - from piling on pounds of homework to do over the two day break.
