Chapter 14

Natalie woke bright and early that morning with the sun shining in her eyes. She rolled onto her side and looked at the clock. It was 6:00! She never woke up this early unless it was for classes.

She rolled out of bed and put on a robe and went down into the common room. The only people down there were a few first years trading candy and cards.

Natalie went and took a seat in a big comfy arm chair by the fire; the one Harry always sat in. Now she knew why. It was so comfy!

She pulled up her legs into the chair and wrapped her arms around them. She began to gaze out the window at the grounds when she saw a bright blonde head walking quickly across the grounds.

She stood up and went over to the window and pressed her hands against the glass to get a better look. He was headed for the Forbidden Forest.

She didn't know whether she should tell a teacher, go down there herself, or just ignore it.

She turned around quickly and ran into someone. She saw that it was just Fred…or George.

"Sorry. Excuse me." She made her way around him and the arm chair.

"What are you looking at?" He asked.

"Oh nothing. Just looking outside." She answered. "What's today?"

"Saturday." Fred said with a hint of suspicion in his voice.

"Thanks." She said and sprinted up to the dorm.

She went to Hermione's four-poster bed and pulled back the curtain. But Hermione was gone.

"I would have seen her if she came down there." Natalie thought to herself.

She decided just to wait in the Common Room for Hermione to come back.

Natalie waited half and hour before Hermione climbed through the portrait hole.

"Hey! Where were you?" Natalie asked examining Hermione's red cheeks and nose.

"I just went for a walk outside. Pretty chilly out there." She took a seat by the fire.

"Malfoy was out there, did you see him?" Natalie asked taking a seat next to her.

"Malfoy? Oh no, didn't see him. Wonder what he was doing." Hermione said quite unconvincingly.

Natalie was about to say more when she heard a pair of feet come sprinting down the boy's dormitory.

Harry and Ron came down practically skipping.

"What are ya'll so happy about?" Hermione asked and Natalie could tell how happy she was to change the subject.

"Oh nothing! It's just a beautiful Saturday morning!" Harry said with his eyes fixed on Natalie.

But she didn't notice. She was staring at the table, her chin in her hands.

"We go to Hogsmede today!" Ron said sitting next to Hermione and pulling her into a warm hug then kissing her on the cheek. Hermione just giggled and blushed.

"We do?!" Natalie asked nearly jumping from her seat. She had completely forgotten about Malfoy. She couldn't wait to see Hogsmede.

"Yeah." Ron answered. "And tomorrow night those people from Beuxbaton and Durmstrang are coming here for the tournament."

"Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" Harry said taking a seat three chairs away from Natalie.

They all went down to breakfast together and took seats next to Neville and Ginny. They ate quickly through their breakfast and headed back upstairs to get dressed for Hogsmede.

They reached the top of the stairs right outside of the Great Hall and ran into Malfoy.

"Sorry." He said to Harry who he had bumped into.

Harry couldn't believe what he just heard. Malfoy had apologized to him without being forced to and wasn't making fun of any of them.

"Natalie could I talk to you for a sec?" Malfoy asked politely.

Natalie left the staring crowd a few feet away. "Hey."

"Hey. I was just wondering if…like today we go to Hogsmede and all. But anyways…if we could like spend the day together." He asked quietly.

"Well, do you mean as a date? Or as in you hang with all of us?" She asked.

"All of you. I mean I really just wanted to hang with you but it would be cool to get to know them, too." He answered still quietly.

"Yeah, sure! That would be fun!" She said happily.

Malfoy let out a breath of relief and hugged her. "Thanks."

She went back to the group and he left the opposite direction.

"What was that all about?" Ron asked.

"He just wanted to know if he could spend the day with us, that's all." She said leading the crowd up some stairs.

"Annnnd?" Ron asked.

"I told him 'of course'! He's a nice guy."

They separated into their common rooms to get dressed. Hermione had a pleased look on her face that was annoying Natalie, but she didn't ask.

Natalie pulled on some baggy-ish khaki's that hung right below her hips and were sooo comfy. She picked out a small, rather tight shirt that was white with a v-neck and a collar. It showed about a half inch of her stomach but she didn't care. She'd just pull it down when a teacher was near.

She quickly put on her white DC's, grabbed her purse and went down to meet the others.

Harry tried his best not to look at her but it didn't work. They all left the common room to find Malfoy waiting for them right outside it, who was apparently being harassed by the Fat Lady by the look on his face.

He saw Natalie and his mouth dropped open. He quickly closed it then put his arm around Natalie's waist. They walked off together with Ron and Hermione holding hands behind them and Harry all alone in the back.

They all let go of each other and Natalie pulled her shirt down when they went outside to get their names checked off the list. The five of them climbed into a carriage which started and headed for Hogsmede.

It was a really fun day for everyone except for Harry who always stayed in the back with his arms folded across his chest and a pissed look on his face. And every now and then he shot a very evil glance at Malfoy.

Malfoy bought Natalie a rose that when you sniffed it, it turned into a butterfly.

Hermione and Ron left the group to go to the Three Broomstick's and Harry left Malfoy and Natalie to go hang with Fred and George in the joke shop.

By the end of the day, Harry was in the worst mood ever. He met up with Hermione and Ron and asked where 'they' were.

"Oh they said they were going to go ahead and get in the carriage. We should go ahead and go join them." Hermione answered getting down from her stool.

They walked over to their carriage and Harry opened the door to see both of them kissing quite passionately. They both stopped immediately. Harry slammed the door shut and went up to another carriage with Neville in it and joined him.

Hermione and Ron ran up to the carriage to see what made Harry so mad.

"What happened?" Hermione asked with that same worried look on her face that she always had on.

"Um….well…" Natalie stammered. "We were kind of…kissing." She said with the last word almost not audible.

"Oh no." Ron said. "Hey, I'll ride with him, ok?" Hermione nodded and Ron ran up to the carriage where Harry was. Hermione got in the carriage and it took off.
