The Werewolf and the Girl

Chapter 1

Harry was staying at the Leaky Cauldron. He hadn't seen anyone he knew...yet. He walked downstairs and then he saw Hermione, Ron, and another girl he didn't recognize.

"Harry! Come here I want you to meet someone." Hermione said.

"Okay." Harry replied.

"Harry, this is Mercury Starr. Mercury this is" Hermione was cut off by Mercury saying.

"Harry Potter. I know." Mercury said

"She's cool isn't she Harry? Even though she'll be in Slytherin." Ron said.

"Yeah, she is. I like your name." Harry said.

"Thanks I guess. Well I'm going to my room see ya in the morning." Mercury replied.

Harry had a dazed look on his face. He was thinking something along the lines of, dang she's hot. Or maybe, she's in Slytherin!! But, whatever he was thinking Ron brought him back to the present time.

"Harry? Dude I've been calling your name for like three minutes! Where were you? Mars?" Ron said.

"Uh, sorry. I was just um thinking." Harry replied

"You were thinking? Harry, if I didn't know you better I'd say you like Mercury." Hermione said.

When Hermione said that Harry turned red. He didn't say another word he just went to his room.

The next morning Mercury was the first downstairs. After a while everyone else came down.

"Hi Mercury." Harry said.

"Oh, hi Harry." Mercury replied.

After Mercury said hi to Harry she got up and went to sit with Hermione. Harry didn't understand why she didn't talk to him.

When they got on the train they looked for a seat. There was only one left. There was only one person in there.

"Who's he?" Ron asked

"His name is Remus J. Lupin" Hermione replied

"Oh, it's on his trunk." Ron said looking embarrassed.

They all talked for a while. Then the train stopped.

"We can't be there yet." Hermione said.

"Everyone calm down." Lupin said. He had woke up when the train stopped.

Then, a black figure was standing at the door. It was getting colder in the room. Lupin stood up and yelled, "Expecto Patronoum!" The figure fled.

"Harry wake up!" Hermione said.

"Here eat this. It'll make you feel better." Lupin said.

Harry ate the chocolate that Lupin was giving him.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"Well, a Dementor came in and you fainted. Voila!" Mercury said.

"Didn't any of you guys faint?" Harry asked

"Does it look like it you idiot? Well I need to find a Slytherin. See ya." Mercury said

"Okay see ya Mercury." Hermione and Ron said.

Harry couldn't believe that Mercury had just called him an idiot. But, she was a Slytherin.

"Professor Lupin are you okay?" Hermione asked

"Yes, I'm fine don't worry." Professor Lupin replied.

Lupin had a dazed look on his face. He knew why but he didn't dare tell anyone else. He couldn't and he wouldn't tell anyone but Mercury.

"Harry, you've been staring at Mercury for the last 10 minutes!" Hermione said. They were in Care of Magical Creatures and Hagrid hadn't got there yet.

"Yeah, so what." Harry replied.

"Do you like her?" Ron asked.

"Yes, I like her! Happy now?!" Harry replied.

"Today we will be lookin' at Hippogriffs." Hagrid said. He had just walked over.

"What's a Hippogriff?" Ron asked.

"It's that thing." Mercury said.

"Who'd like to go first?" Hagrid asked

Everyone stepped back except Harry. "Nice job Harry." Hagrid said.

It was after Care of Magical Creatures. Draco had been "attacked" and he was telling his version of the story. Harry, Ron, and Hermione got up to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Here comes Mercury." Ron said and winked at Harry.

"She's probably going out with Malfoy." Harry replied.

"Hey guys!" Mercury said.

"Are you going out with Malfoy?" Ron asked.

"No! He likes me but I'm not going out with him." Mercury replied

"Cool. Who do you like?" Hermione asked

"Someone, I can't tell you with the guys here." Mercury replied

"Okay, tell me after Defense Against the Dark Arts." Hermione said

"Okay bye!" Mercury said.

Mercury was waiting for Hermione in the library. "Mercury, sorry I'm late." Hermione said as she entered the library.

"It's fine." Mercury replied

"Who do you like that is this secret and important?!" Hermione asked.

"Okay calm down and I'll tell you." Mercury said with a smile.

"Okay I'm good." Hermione said

"Okay, I like Professor Lupin." Mercury said.
