Harry Potter and the Golden Bell
Chapter 4
The Owl From Noone
"Hey Hagrid," said Ron approaching the staff table, Hermione following behind. She grabbed the back of his robes once he got up there and started tugging him away.
"Hey stop it! (he turned back to Hagrid) Thanks for what you did today in Care of Magical Creatures." Hagrid smiled and Professor McGonagall next to him, looked at him as if to ask, "What did happen in Care of Magical Creatures today?" but she didn't.
"No problem, Ron. It's all part of the job." he winked at Ron, who looked at McGonagall and smiled.
"Good evening Professor," he said politely.
"Good evening Mr. Weasley," she said with a small smile on her face.
"Come on!" prompted Hermione, pulling Ron away from the staff table and back to the Gryffindor table. She put him down on the bench next to Harry and then sat on the other side of Ron. Harry looked at Hagrid and Professor McGonagall who were now talking. Professor McGonagall said something with a curious expression on her face and Hagrid said something back with a big smile on his face. Professor McGonagall smiled and looked back at her dinner.
"Hagrid just lied to McGonagall about Care of Magical Creatures today," said Harry to Hermione.
"Well that's his problem. If she finds out what really happened, Hagrid will be in trouble," she said back.
Harry had slept well the night before. No dreams. He was very glad as he was tired of waking up in the middle of the night because of a nightmare and going back to sleep only to have another one. He got out of bed, woke up Ron, got dressed and went downstairs into the common room. Neville was sitting on the couch with his wand in his hand trying to flip a knut over with it with little success. He managed to make it fly off the table and hit Harry in the eye, though.
"Oh! Sorry, Harry!" said Neville. Harry picked up the knut and gave it back to Neville.
"It's allright," he said. Hermione came down from her dormitory and looked at Harry.
"Come on! We're going to be late for breakfast! Where's Ronald?"
"He's upstairs getting dressed. Hopefully," said Harry. Ron came downstairs dressed. Harry looked at his feet and smiled. Ron looked down and threw up his arms. He had forgotten to put on his socks. He quickly went upstairs and put on his socks and shoes and went back down stairs with a frustrated look on his face.
"Come on, let's just go," he said. And, he, Harry, Neville, and Hermione left through the portrait hole and went down to the Great Hall.
Halfway through breakfast, a thousand owls flew through the window with parcels on their feet. Harry looked up and looked for Hedwig. Sure enough, his big snowy owl came flying down to him and held out his leg. Harry detached the parcel from Hedwig's leg and unwrapped it. Ron looked up from a letter from his mother and looked over Harry's shoulder at his.
"Who's that from?"
"I don't know, there's no name," said Harry. He read aloud:
Dear Harry,
Meet me at the Shrieking Shack today at 1:00.
Please come alone. Thank you, Harry.

"Sounds like Anna-Nicole to me," said Hermione, overhearing. Harry looked at her with a little smile on his face. He looked over at the Ravenclaw table and saw Anna-Nicole looking at him. She quickly spun around once she noticed he saw her.
"She's lookin' at you, Harry," said Ron.
"Yeah I know," said Harry looking back at his two friends. He played with his pancakes and then decided to eat one.
"Do you like her, Harry?" asked Ron anxiously, leaning closer. Harry shrugged.
"I don't even know her. I just know that she acts strange around me."
"A lot of people act strange around you. You should be used to it by now," said Ron.
"Yeah I know...but even if she does...you know...ask me out today, I don't know what I'm going to say. I don't think I'm ready to have a girlfriend yet.
"Harry, you're 15 years old and you're always moping about with no goal in life," piped up Hermione, "I think it'll do you good to have a girlfriend."
"I don't know...the truth is...I'm not very good with girls," said Harry. Ron snorted. "Well, did you see what happened with me and Cho last year? I ruined our date and she wouldn't talk to me! I still haven't got her to say more than two words to me yet." Hermione sighed.
"Whatever, Harry. You make the decision," said Hermione putting a piece of bacon on her fork and putting it in her mouth.
"What time are we going to Hogsmeade?" asked Ron, trying to steer the conversation away from Anna-Nicole. It didn't take much effect, because Harry just sighed, put his elbow on the table, and his head in his hand. Hermione looked from Harry to Ron. "10:00. That gives us about a half an hour to get ready. I'm going upstairs, myself, and getting my money and my good shoes on. I suggest you do the same." Hermione stood up from her chair. "I'm going with Parvati and Padma, so you two will be on your own. I actually had some second thoughts about this, but I decided you're both old enough and mature enough to carry on by yourselves."
"Allright, allright, Hermione. We don't need a lecture. We'll be fine, allright?" said Ron, "Don't spend all your time worrying about us," he said sarcastically. Hermione shifted from Ron to Harry twice.
"I'll meet you both at Honeyduke's at 12:50. Be there then. I want to see Harry before he leaves to talk to Anna-Nicole." The both of them nodded.
"Allright, then. See you," she said. And with that, she left down the aisle to the door to the Great Hall.
That's all I have so far. I'll be writing more!!! LEAVE ME LOTS OF
