Hi guys! Sorry about the other chapter, I don't really know
what it means when someone says that the characters are OOC.
I keep hearing that and I would really like someone to
explain what that means. Thanks, you know that I don't own
anything, so let's get on with the story.
Two months later (I know it was a big jump but I wanted to get to the ball more quickly, which is in one month, December. It's now November.) The Charmers went to Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid and got to learn about unicorns and take notes. When class was over it was time for their first flying lessons; this was going to be Marco and Caden's favorite class.
"Good afternoon class, welcome to flying I. I'm madam Hooch and I also run the quidditch teams." Said Madam Hooch.
The students looked at her very excited.
"Well what are you waiting for? Stick your right hand over your broom and shout 'Up'!" she said, walking around.
The sounds of the students filled the cooling air.
"With feeling." Said Madam Hooch.
Caden's, Tina's and Marco's brooms shot up at the third try.
"Once you have your brooms mount them. At my whistle push up from the ground hard, hover for a moment and then lean forward and touch back down. At my whistle one, two, (sound of whistle).
They did as they were told. It was a totally cool feeling. The wind was blowing, but they all managed to keep their brooms in place.
"Very good, I'll call you up one by one to let you have a whirl in the quidditch pitch. Follow me please." Stated Madam Hooch.
The students followed, whispering and chatting among themselves.
"My mum was never good at flying. She tried to fly me around our yard when I was little but no luck. We ran into a tree." Said Caden, showing them his scar that was in the shape of a 'x'.
"I'm muggleborn, so I've never heard of a flying broom, or magic. My parents won't talk about it." Said Marco, running his fingers through his hair.
"My tia Hanna, used to fly me around in Puerto Rico, before we moved to England. I love to fly." Said Tina.
They made it to the pitch and she called Marco's name first.
"Don't be afraid. I'll be there to catch you if you end up falling." Madam Hooch said with a weird smile that went all the way to her cat like eyes.
Marco did quite well. He chased a bird that got too close and almost ran into one of the stands. When he reached back, his freckled face was pink with cold.
"That was the best thing in all of my life, except for the fact that I'm a wizard." Said Marco, his hair wind swept.
"I told you it was going to be fun. But it's so cold out here." Said Tina, stepping up because her name was called to go with a bunch of girls.
After three more groups went. It was finally time for Caden to have his turn.
"Come along Mr. Potter, It's almost time to go in." she said, sending them off.
Up in the air, Caden felt free. He took notice at how big Hogwarts really was. It felt as though he could have been up there forever, if it hadn't of been for the whistle he would have never gotten off his comet 260.
"That will be all for today students. See you the week before Christmas break." Said Madam Hooch, walking briskly into the school.
"I'm starving. I can't wait to have something warm inside of me." Said Marco, rubbing his stomach.
"How can you still be hungry? Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I can hardly eat anything now, not even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Said Caden.
"Me either. I think I'm just going to the library. We have that charms work and DADA work that's due tomorrow." Said Tina; putting a bit of hair behind her ear and grabbing up her bag.
"I guess I'll come with you. I've finished that work, I just have do some work for Muggle studies." Said Caden, picking up his bag.
"Well I guess I'll see you both after dinner." Said Marco, taking his bag and walking after a quickly moving group.
(Hallway)
"So what was your mum like?" Tina asked after a while of silence.
"She was really nice. She used to take me everywhere she went and we would play together. Annie only got to see her for about 5 minuets before she went into a coma." Caden said, watching the memories rush past his eyes. The sights and sounds still fresh in his mind.
"I thought you said that she died?" asked Tina, as they walked in and found a table.
"She did. Mum went into a coma due to the loss of blood and oxygen. When her breathing got too low to record, they decided that there was nothing more that they could do. Either let her die, or waist time and a lot of money on her. Dad said that he rather have her die and be happy rather than suffer." Caden said quickly going silent and taking out his books and materials.
"I'm so sorry." Tina said softly taking out her stuff.
"Don't mention it. Let's just get our work done so that we can leave." Snapped Caden, turning the pages furiously.
Caden quickly finished his work and headed up to bed. The corridors were quite quiet and still when they weren't crowded with students. Caden walked slowly towards his dormitory and ran into Hermione.
"I'm sorry Professor Granger." Said Caden.
"No problem. I'm looking for your father, have you seen him?" asked Hermione.
"No I haven't. Why?" Caden asked curiously.
"I wanted to ask him to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow. After all that will be that last one before I go home for the holidays in two weeks." Said Hermione, looking around.
"Oh. Try looking in his room or his classroom. I think he was going over his work for Monday." Said Caden.
"Thank you so much." Exclaimed Hermione and she ran down the hall.
'How weird can you get?' Caden said to himself.
He went up to his room and found that two other boys were there playing with their chocolate frog cards. Caden put down his book bag and went to take a warm shower and get ready for bed. When he was done and had gotten dressed, Caden slipped under his warm bed covers and closed his eyes. Something that he hadn't dreamed about in ten months came back.
Memories of his mom. He saw her through everything that he could remember. When he learned to walk, she was there holding him up. When he learned to use the bathroom, she stood outside the door and cheered when he came out. She was so beautiful, and then the times changed and he saw her getting bigger and bigger with Annabelle. Finally it was time for her to be born, he remembered himself crying and screaming when he found out that he would never see her again. He woke up screaming for his mother.
"Mum!" screamed Caden, searching for her in his sleep.
He opened his eyes fully and found that he was still at Hogwarts, everyone was staring at him.
"Are you alright mate?" asked Marco, who had been about to shake him awake.
"Yeah I'm fine. I guess my studies are getting to my head." Said Caden, putting his hand on his forehead, he wasn't hot so he didn't bother to find his father.
"Yeah, sure." Said the twins in unison.
Caden rolled over and went back to sleep.
'I must get Hermione and dad together. I won't have myself waking up crying and screaming again. Time to get dad's invisibility cloak again.' Caden whispered to himself.
(The next morning.)
Caden woke up bright and early. He decided to take Marco and Tina along.
"Would you please hurry!" exclaimed Caden.
"Sure sorry. Ok, we make sure that their date goes well right?" asked Marco.
"Yes, that's exactly what we do. We act like we're going for a walk on the grounds, then we follow them, making sure he says all the right stuff and she does all the right stuff." Said Caden as they walked towards the Great Hall for breakfast.
They ate only two muffins each and then when Harry, Hermione and Annabelle headed for Hogsmeade they covered in the invisibility cloak and followed close by. Tina, being the most clever out of all three of them, she was ready with spells that would make the date go perfect.
"Ok, they're headed for Honeydukes. We have to stay outside so that we don't run into anyone." Said Marco, leading them to a bench.
"How do you know about this place?" asked Tina as they sat down.
"My cousin is a witch and she left Hogwarts a year ago. She came here during her third year." Said Marco, proud for knowing something that Caden or Tina didn't.
(Inside)
"Thanks for inviting me Hermione. Let me get you something, how about a box of different candies? Let me see if I can remember which are your favorites." Said Harry, getting a box.
He walked over to a wall of colorful candies, which smelled really nice.
"I think you like Jelly slugs right?" asked Harry. Hermione nodded her head.
("They seem to be having fun already. This is wonderful!" exclaimed Caden)
"And I know that you like Chocolate frogs, and Acid pops." Said Harry, putting three each into the box.
When Harry got a spoonful of beans he paid and they walked out, Caden noticed that it was hand-in-hand.
(Caden's group)
"This is great. They're making physical contact with the hands. I have a feeling that they are making a connection." Said Caden, very happy and excited.
They followed them for a while. Harry and Hermione, walked into Zonko's and came out with a bag. Caden also noticed that they didn't have his sister. Then he saw Dumbledore leaving back to school with her.
Harry and Hermione, walked all the way to the end and then they walked back. Tina made a beautiful red rose grow and Harry ended up picking it for Hermione.
"Here you go Hermione. I hope you like it?" said Harry, handing it to her.
Hermione blushed and smelled the flower.
"Thank you so much Harry. Do you want to go and get a butterbeer?" asked Hermione, tucking the rose safely into her bag.
"I would like that very much. I'll go and get the drinks and could you please get us a table?" asked Harry, handing her the bags.
Hermione took them and found one away from the door so the gang sat outside while they asked a 4th year to get them drinks. It was one of Tina's friends.
Harry got the warm drinks and walked back to Hermione.
"Here you go. I haven't been in here since my last year at school." Said Harry, looking around.
Hermione was staring at Harry and when he noticed he looked back at her.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Harry, looking over his clothes and trying to clean his glasses.
'Oh gosh he's just so cute! I hope he asks me to the ball. I would really love to go.' Hermione said to herself.
"Hermione. Snap out of it!" exclaimed Harry, snapping his fingers in her face. She snapped back.
"I'm sorry Harry. I was just deep in thought about the ball and what I was going to do." Said Hermione, trying to make Harry see the picture.
"I don't even know if I'm going, unless they need me to be there. I think I'm going to let Caden go. I'll have one of the older students take him." Said Harry, taking a sip.
"Oh I see." Hermione said softly.
(Outside)
"Dad no! Ask her out. Ask Hermione to go to the dance with you." Said Caden frantically.
"What's wrong?" asked Marco, looking through the window.
"Professor is trying to give Professor Potter hints that she wants to go to the ball with him, but he won't take the bait." Said Tina, shaking her head in sympathy.
(Inside)
"Harry do you think we should get back before dinner?" asked Hermione, looking at the butterscotch colored drink in her cup.
"Oh, ok Hermione. Let's go." Said Harry, taking his bags and taking Hermione's hand.
(The Charmers)
"I think we should start getting back to school now. Dad will be looking to talk to me." Said Caden, as they started back up to the school.
(School 3 minutes later)
"I had a wonderful time Harry. Maybe we can go out again before I leave for Christmas." Said Hermione.
"I had fun too. Would you like to go to the ball with me? We could watch the kids and also have fun." Said Harry.
"I would love too!" exclaimed Hermione, hugging Harry and giving him a kiss on the lips.
At first Harry didn't know what do. Should he kiss her back or pull her away?
Before he made up his mind, Hermione realized what she was doing and she stepped back.
"I'm so sorry. I have to go." Said Hermione, running into her dormitory.
