We're more alike then you may think.

Disclaimer: I dont' own Harry Potter. Or Harry Potter like things in here. But we can always pretend...Right?

"Harry! Come down for breakfast!"

"Yeah mom, I'll be there in a minute!" Yelled harry as he rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.

"Harry! There's a letter for you!"

'Hmm, I never get mail...' Harry thought. He jumped out of bed, grabbed a sweatshirt and ran downstairs.

It was much warmer downstairs as his parents had lit a fire in the fireplace in the kitchen. Harry grabbed a bowl and began to pour himself some cereal.

"It's a letter from hogwarts," Said Lily, tossing her long red hair over her shoulder.

"Ah, the newest supply list I suppose?" asked Harry, his mouth full of Froot Loops.

"Yep. We can head out after you're dressed. Unless it's the newest fashion to go shopping in your underpants," Smirked Lily.

"Mo-om. Stop it! But, Ron's already invited me to go with him tomorrow."

"Oh, well then...since I'll be at work, I'll leave you some money."

"Thanks mom, you're the best!" Harry said as he kissed his mother on the cheek and dashed upstairs.

The next morning, he woke up at 9am.

'Ug...it's so early...the weasley's won't be here for...ten minutes...' Harry thought as he readjusted his covers.

"Harry, There's someone here for you!" Lily yelled from downstairs, "I'm sending them up!"

A second later there was a knock on harry's door.

"Gosh ron, go away! I'm barely even dressed!" Moaned Harry.

"Uh, What? Was I supposed to hear that?" Asked a girl's voice.

"Oh, crap, Sorry! I thought you were someone else!" Responded Harry as he jumped out of bed and into his favorite pair of jeans.

"I sort of gathered that," replied the voice. Harry opened the door to greet the face of Maybeth, his next-door neighbor.

"Hey, Maybeth! What are you doing here?" Harry asked while stretching, reveling his plaid boxers from beneath his jeans.

"Ron sent me an owl. He invited me to cone shopping with you."

"Oh, yeah, sure. Why not," harry said. He had yet to tell Maybeth that since he had first laid eyes on her, He loved her. Ron knew though.

'I'll bet he's trying to set us up...' thought harry.

"Oh! Has ron told you? I'm being transferred to Hogwarts for this year!" Shrieked Maybeth as she jumped up and down, her blond curls springing to life.

"Oh, yeah, he sent me an owl a few nights ago..." Harry lied.

"Maybeth! Harry! Ron's here!" Lilly yelled up the stairs, her head poking from around the corner, "and Harry, although you like to show off, please put on a shirt!"

"Uh, gee...Heh..." Harry stumbled on his words as he sorted through his drawers for a shirt, blushing brighter red then Maybeth's shoes.
