When professor Lupin returned to the class room he dismissed the class and they all went to the great hall. To Harry, Ron, and Hermoine's surprise Halley was sitting at their table waiting for them.' Oh hello guys I just got out of history gee you'd think that professor Binns would have changed by now but no he is still as boring as ever I would rather have Sir Nicholas than Bins.' Halley groaned.' Ha Harry are you all right you look like you've been hypnotized? Huh oh what no I'm fine tired that's all.' Harry said pretending to wipe sleep out of his eyes.' Oh well then you best make sure that you get to bed early tonight. Anyway Ron I've been meaning to ask you how your mother is haven't talked to her since first year.' Oh she is fine and well same with all the rest of my family Charlie is still in Romania and Bill is working at the Gringotts in Egypt, Percy is going berserk over getting top in his owls and newts. Still wants to be in the ministry I imagine. Halley quickly added.' Oh of course and mother is just tickled pink that Percy has a very very good chance of making it. And being head boy and prefect helps too. Fred and George are often found tinkering with his badge or making it disappear so that he can't find it and then he gets all upset about it and throws a hissy fit and we all fall to the ground laughing. So from what I hear nothings changed…excellent. Hm hm anyway I best get back to my to my table Malfoy might get a little hot in the head if he sees me stay here too long but maybe I'll see you on the grounds. See you all later. With that Halley turned to each of the friends in turn and nodded and was off to the Slytherin table. Halley took a seat by Malfoy; he turned to them and gave the three a dirty look of satisfaction.' Hi Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle.' Crabbe and Goyle just snorted showing that they had acknowledged her presence.' Crabbe, Goyle, Halley has known me a lot longer than you and can replace you at any time. Oy sorry uh Malfoy we just ate too much lunch. So anyway Halley what do you think of Potter, Weasley, and Granger? Malfoy you know that Ron and I have been friends for a long time so please don't be too terribly vile towards him. And Harry is nice as is Hermoine. Pff Halley I don't speak highly of mudbloods and people who think they are so great because everyone adores them and as for Weasley he is dirt poor and it disgusts me. So I won't talk kindly of any of them.' With that the conversation ended and Halley and Malfoy both went about their own business, Halley getting into another deep discussion with Michelle Smyth.' Harry your sure your all right? Hermoine asked in a worried tone.' Yah Hermoine no worries,Umm say Ron would you like to go for a walk I think I'd like to get some fresh air before divination. Yah I think so too professor Trelawny always has a ton of perfume and incense going on up there I don't know how she expects us to breathe.' Ron said holding his stomach. They both stood up about to leave when Harry said.' So we will see you in Arithmancy Hermoine? Um yes I have a book that I've been meaning to get from the library.' Ron and Harry made their way through the great hall and to the front doors. They walked through the doors the sunlight spilling upon them; they squinted at the sun's brightness. The grass on the grounds was still covered with the morning's dew.' So Harry what was it that you wanted to talk about? What I didn't say I wanted to talk about anything. Oh come of it Harry I know that that's the reason you wanted to go for a walk and not let Hermoine come gees you act as though I've only just met you. Hm hm sorry Ron guess your right. Ok so my problem is that I think that Halley is well pretty. But Harry I thought that you liked Cho Chang? Yah I do but since Halley has come I won't deny that I have questioned who I like better I mean I like both of them but Cho has Cedric and Halley doesn't have anyone but then I also thought I don't think that her father wants her to be with someone who is constantly into trouble. Aw don't say that mate I'm sure you've got a good of chance as anybody. And another thing I don't blame you for liking her I think she is really pretty too. That is why I wasn't allowed to talk to her at school first year because Mr. Malfoy wanted her and Draco to be betrothed and he didn't want me and Halley to become too good of friends and be really close so he told Mr. Cromon that the only reason I was friends with Halley is because I wanted to go out with her. So he didn't let her and I talk for a year. Oh Ron I didn't know. Its all right mate so anyway don't worry about it what ever happens happens right? Yah I guess your right Ron, well I guess we better be off to divination.
