The next day Harry and Ron awoke and went down to the Gryffindor table. They both didn't say much and things didn't get more exciting once they reached the table. Everyone was tired from last night, being up past 4:00. Hermione had tired eyes and was practically falling asleep reading the daily prophet. Harry sat down next to Ginny and Ron next to him. "Where's Shiann?" " "She said she wasn't hungry and went back to bed. She said she would meet us down here in a half hour for hogsmead." "Oh," Ron replied, "Did she say anything about going to hogsmead with anyone last night?" Hermione smiled," didn't you see her enough last nigh to ask?" "Yeah Ron I think you saw plenty of her last night," Harry said smiling. "Okay that's enough guys!" Ginny stared at them cautiously. "What's going on guys?" " "Nothing Ginnny, just shut up!" Ron said quickly. "Fine," she said getting up, "I'll leave, see you guys at hogsmead." And with that she left the table and walked on to the library. Hermione sat there playing with her French toast before she spoke. "Something's up with Shiann." "What are you talking about?" Ron and Harry said simultaneously. Hermione leaned in closer. "She's up to something, I know it." "Wait what are you talking about Hermione?" Ron said curiously. "Okay, yesterday after potions I walked out and you two took off, so I met up with Cho who was waiting for Shiann outside the Library. Cho asked me if I knew where Shiann was and I didn't know so we went back down to the dungeons to see what was up. She was talking to Snape about something, and the minute she heard us she stopped talking. Well, me and Cho walked in there and asked her what she was doing and she said she was asking about the homework assignment the she hadn't finished yet about the flemmington potion." "So what's your point Hermione?" Harry asked curiously. "My point is I saw her paper on the flemmington potion when I handed mine in three days ago. She was done with it and for what I saw it was done well. But she said she didn't finish it." "Well maybe she re-did it or something." Ron said not convinced. "No, I know she had it turned in. I know she was done with it and I know she was talking to Snape about something else." Harry and Ron sat there confused and thinking of anything else Shiann might have talked to Snape about. "There's one more thing. I did a little research on the internet and in the Library and there is no such thing is Remington school for witches and wizards. There isn't any school that even relates to it." Harry and Ron looked at her. "I don't know what it is but something's up and there's something she's not telling us." Ron got up, "Well I'm not pinning anything on her until we know for sure something is up! I'll meet you guys back in here in ten minutes." Ron left the Great Hall and started walking up the stairs to the Gryffindor Tower. Harry and Hermione followed him to get ready for Hogsmead. When they got to the tower Ron and Harry got ready and went back down to the great hall to meet the girls. People were already starting to leave for Hogsmead before the girls finally came down the stairs. Ron and Harry sat in awe as Cho, Shiann, and Hermione came up to them to leave for Hogsmead. Cho was wearing light blue jeans with a baby blue angora sweater. Her hair was curled and pinned back with bobby pins. Her eyes had blue shadow on them, lined with black eyeliner and glitter. Shiann had on white jeans with a chain belt and a pink baby tee with a white leather jacket. Her hair was half up with two strands of hair hanging in her face. She had on silver eyeliner with light pink shadow. Hermione on the other hand had on blue jeans and her traditional black winter coat and a black beanie. She had some eyeliner on and lip gloss but it was nothing special.
Cho embraced Harry as she linked her arm with his. "You look real cute," Harry said trying not to sound stupid. Cho smiled. "Thanks. Come on let's go." She started walking as Harry turned around at Ron nudging his head in Shiann's direction. Ron rolled his eyes following Hermione as they walked on to hogsmead. Shiann walked next to him. "You look real nice," Ron said looking down at his feet. "Thanks, you don't look bad yourself," she said looking up at him smiling. Ron looked at her like she was nuts. She laughed as they finished walking the pathway into Hogsmead.
When they walked in the familiar Hogsmead Cho and Harry walked in a different direction linked together at the arms. "Well then," Hermione said turning around to face Ron and Shiann, "Where do you want to go?" Shainn stood there looking around in awe. "Oh my gosh I want to go everywhere!" Ron and Hermione laughed as they took her throughout hogsmead. Shiann insisted on going into every store. And in almost every store she bought something. By the time she reached the fifth store she had already spent more than Hermione and Ron had spent between their last two visits in Hogsmead. They were in the leaky cauldron having a butterbear when Shiann suddenly asked what time it was. "Oh umm its 12:15. Why what's up?" Hermione asked. "Oh shoot! Do you know where tiffany's diner is?"Shiann said gathering her stuff. "Yeah it's right next to the animal shop about 5 stores down from here on the right. Why where are you going?" Hermione asked puzzled. Shiann got her purse and finished her butterbear in one gulp. She looked nervously before speaking. "I'm meeting up with Draco." she said this not looking at Ron. "Oh," Hermione said, "Have fun!" Shiann looked at Ron "I'll talk to you guys later then; maybe I could meet up with you before the dance.. "Oh no," Hermione interrupted, "I mean no, you can spend time with Draco. Umm me and Ron were going to hang out and we have no clue where were going to go or where were going to be. So yeah we'll see you tonight at the dance or in the dorms or something." Ron looked at Hermione like she had just committed a crime. Hermione gave him a look as she kicked his chin under the table. "Oh I didn't know you guys had planned something today," Shiann said looking a tad bit disappointed. "Oh. well we did," Hermione said at once.

"Well I'll see you guys then," she said turning around, "bye Hermione.Ron. She turned to leave but then stopped. "Are you guys going to the dance together?" she asked. Ron opened his mouth only to be shut out by Hermione.

"Yeah, probably," Shiann shook her head as if she was saying yeah and turned around and left real quickly

~~~~~HARRY AND CHO~~~~~
Harry and Cho had been strolling around Hogsmead for the past couple of hours. Cho had been trying on new clothes and they shared a butterbeer and they were having a great time. "DO you want something to eat?" Harry asked her. "Yeah lets go over there," Cho replied pointing in the direction of a new restaurant that was just put up. So her and Harry went in and the were stunned to find Draco and Shiann sitting at a table laughing. Cho immediately went over by her to say hi. "Hey," Cho said, "Having fun?" "Yeah, "Shiann said smiling, "We were just eating some lunch." Harry walked over by Cho and Shiann and Draco. "Hey Harry said looking at Draco. "Hey what's up?"Draco said. Harry shrugged "nothing much." Cho smiled at them before she waved goodbye to Shiann and Draco and sat on the opposite said of the restaurant, but you could still see Shiann and Draco. "So.. Are Shiann and Draco ya know like dating?" Harry asked looking back at them. "Oh no!" Cho replied, "She likes him as a friend, only a friend." "Oh, that's good I guess." "Why is that good?" "Because ya know Ron and Shiann and Ron hating Draco and all that." "Oh I see. Well believe me Shiann doesn't hate Ron neither." "Really?" "Really really" Harry smiled. "So does that mean she liked Ron?" Harry asked looking at Cho. "No that means I don't tell secrets." Harry smiled again as he ordered two shakes and French fries. He watched as Shiann and Draco left the diner laughing as Draco took her hat she had bought and was wearing it goofing around. Harry shook his head. "Seems she likes him a little more than a friend." "I guess but it's hard you know?" "No I don't" "Well think if every girl in school liked you and you know they only like you because your cute, and when you finally meet a guy that you think isn't all talk you really don't like him, but the guy you do like only likes u for your looks." "Whoa I really did not get anything you just said." "I wouldn't expect you too." Harry made a face, "What's that suppose to mean?" "It's supposed to mean you're not a girl and you don't know how we think." Harry laughed," Okay." Cho smiled, "okay let's start walking back to the castle so I can get ready for the dance." Harry got up," it's not like you don't look great already." Cho smiled as he held her hand and walked out of the diner. It was so cold outside and Harry gave Cho his sweatshirt. It took them 30 minutes to get back to the castle but finally they made it. ~~~~~~~~~~~RON AND HERMIONE ~~~~~~~~~~ Ron got up, "why would you even do that or say anything even relating to that!!!!!???" "Ron it was for your own good!" "How is that possible for my own good?" He was practically screaming now. "Ron she's playing you. She tells you she's going out with Draco and you still fall all over her. AND could you please be quiet." Ron glared at her, "She is not playing me!" "Yeah she is. She's leading you on!" "She's not leading me anywhere! Okay just because you're a super freak who thinks everyone's out to get me, you and Harry doesn't mean the first thing you notice about her means she's going to kill us or something. I like her and that's all that matters and I'm not going her up just because you can't take it. Victor practically killed Harry and I think your still falling all over him!!! And you have no business telling people were going out or even going to the dance!! Now this is going to start a huge thing and its going to be your entire fault!" They were now screaming gout side the leaky cauldron. "Ron Victor didn't try to kill Harry!" "Oh really but just because Shiann talked to Snape means she is?" "I didn't say that?" "No you didn't but you were thinking it! I know you Hermione! I've known you for six years! I know how you think!" "And I know you Ron Weasley I know that I your hormones are everywhere and you only like Shiann because she's pretty and cute and absolutely perfect to you. If I looked like her you would be all over me. And she's conceited. She leads you on then turns you away then goes out with Draco.." "AND THEN ASK ME TO THE DANCE!!!" "What are you talking about?" "I know girls if she didn't care she wouldn't of asked if we were going to the dance!" Hermione just stared at him. "Okay Hermione I don't know what's up with you but whatever it is its annoying." "There's nothing wrong with me! Shiann just made you totally forget about things!" "Like what Hermione? Like what? That Voldemort is back and trying to kill Harry? That we were about to be killed last year? That my Father almost died? That Sirus IS DEAD? I'm sorry Hermione but if you don't mind I finally got my life straight and its probably going to get massed up again by the end of the year, so if you don't mind I'm going to enjoy it, but wait..you ruined that for me! You ruined everything! People are going to think were going out, I'm never going to get my chance with Shiann, I'm going to have to listen to you telling me and Harry that were all in danger and that Shiann and her workers are going to kill us all and find ways to trap us. I know where this whole thing is going with you and I don't even want to start it. SO yes I'm trying to forget Hermione I'm trying! But I can't so I'm trying to make the best of it but you took that and threw it away." He turned around to leave. Hermione had a tear coming down her cheek. "What are we going to do tonight?" "What me? I don't know probably sit in the common room thinking about how fun everything's going down to the dance maybe I'll stroll down there to see Shiann and Draco or Cho and Harry. Oh and yeah Neville is in love with you if you hadn't noticed between freaking out about Shiann and screwing with my life." "What am I going to tell Shiann?" "I don't know what you're going to tell her next or what lie you're going to come up with about me. I don't know tell her I'm sick or something I'm sure she wont care!" And with that he turned and walked away down the street to Hogworts. He left Hermione standing there with her face streaming with tears. ~~~~~~~~SHIANN AND DRACO~~~~~~~ They had just left the diner and were walking back to Hogworts. "So what's up with you and Pansy?" Shiann asked as she walked with her arms crossed because of the cold. "Nothing, we were close a couple of years ago but she different now. She doesn't care about herself or anything any more." "Oh, you guys were pretty close..." "Yeah I guess, ya know first crushes." "No not really, I've never really had a first crush." "Oh," "I never really grew up with many guys around. I mean I had one sister and my school was against girls in a way. They had special classes for us with no boys in them, because boys were more likely to become something of them when they were older, so it was just me and 4 other girls in a class together." "Oh is that why you moved here?" "Umm yeah." "Oh well are you going to the dance with anyone tonight?" "Umm... No never got a date." "Yeah right! Everyone wanted to go with you." "Yeah I guess so but I still didn't get a date." She gave him a half smile before they departed to go to their own towers. "So ill meet u tonight outside the great hall?' "yeah that sounds good," She said smiling as she turned and walked up the stairs.
