Disclaimer: I'm not as brilliant as Ms. Rowling but Hazel is mine... all mine. MWAHAHAHA!!!

After potions class, Hazel and Harry walked together to Transfiguration and discussed random things. Hazel was beginning to think Harry might have a crush on her. He was always caught looking at her during class and last night at dinner he sat next to her and commented on her dazzling eyes. But he wasn't the only one who noticed her spectacular looking eyes. Draco too fancied Hazel, and she could tell by the way he had kissed her before potions. She caught herself thinking about Draco as she was walking with Harry and he noticed the glazed look in her eyes and waved a hand in front of her making her jump back to reality.

"You ok there Hazel? You looked kind of lost in your own mind there," said Harry as they entered the large carved oak doors with black pewter handles.

"What? Oohh sorry. I was just thinking,"said Hazel feeling a bit embarrassed; a twinge of pink in her cheeks. They were off in their little world and didn't realize they were late and everyone was sitting in their desks, with large school books opened, starring at them trying not to laugh. They were in a large bright room with odds and ends on shelves all around the walls with big ancient opened windows letting the cool fall breeze in.

"Well thank you for taking time for you 'oh so busy schedule' and joining us Mr. Potter and Miss Stirling. Now if you'd take your seats ill speak with you after class about your detentions," said Professor McGonagall sternly. She then went into the regular introduction to 'Transfiguration Level 7' and its safety rules and such. Harry and Hazel then took a table at the back, near a large opened window and sat down quietly glancing at each other smiling. Harry then took Hazels hand under the desk and looked over at Hazel's, her long chestnut hair swung back forth a little when she turned her head to look at him; he was looking deep into her eyes. She was blushing deep red and smiling to her ears. She couldn't help but think how cute he was, his hair black and messy falling slightly over his eyes. And it couldn't hurt to flirt back a little. Plus she liked the cozy feeling of her small fragile hand in his bigger comforting ones. They took out sheets of parchment and began taking the notes McGonagall was writing on the board about how to transform bats into mugs of butterbeer.

After about a boring 2 hours, transfiguration was over and Harry and Hazel went up to the front to be lectured by McGonagall for being late. She turned to them a very stern look on her old wrinkled face.

"I did not appreciate you two showing up 5 minutes late and interrupting my class. Do you at least have a believable excuse?" she asked very annoyed. She was not in one of her better moods today. She crossed her arms and tapped her foot as Harry tried to think up an excuse but then Hazel spoke up making Harry let out a gasp of nervous breath he had been holding in.

"It's my fault Professor. I had asked him to show me around a little so I could get around better. Harry's not to blame. I'll take the punishment for I rightfully deserve it." She said with great confidence. Harry couldn't help but see a slight resemblance to his bushy haired friend in Hazel's face as serious as that. He chuckled a bit under his breath causing the Professor to raise and eyebrow to him.

"Well since it is your first day here I guess I will excuse you of punishment. But mark my words. I do not under any circumstances allow tardiness in my classroom. You may go now." And with that Harry and Hazel ran out, bursting out laughing, talking to each other about how close that one was. They barely made it to their next class which was Herbology. The class went by fast being very boring and uneventful. They had done review the whole class taking notes and answering questions, which Hermione had answered mostly. A big wave of relief hit everyone as they exited the greenhouses and went off to lunch.

"What'd McGonagall say to you guys after we left?" asked Ron catching up with Hermione, Harry, and Hazel.

"Oh nothing much. She said we were excused of our punishments because it was my first day and everything but warned us not to do it again," said Hazel taking in the scenery all around her. The big silvery lake, rippling in the breeze, the dark and mysterious forest with secrets all its own, Hagrid's pleasant little hut, the big beautiful castle. She had to admit, Hogwarts was a very beautiful place.

"Lucky. She usually gives out detentions like candy when she's in a mood like she was today." Said Ron opening the large wooden doors that towered at least 20 feet high. They all walked in and entered the great hall and took seats at the gryffendor table, waiting for lunch to appear.
