That morning Ash woke up with butterflies in her stomach and she was very groggy. She changed into her robes that she thought were ugly, but she had to wear them all the same. Then put her hair into a loose but.

"Wait for me!" Hermione said while brushing her teeth.

"Ok but hurry up." Ash said smiling.

"Done!" Hermione said finally pulling on her robe. They went down stairs, and met up with Harry and Ron for breakfast.

"I can't do this!" Ash whispered angrily trying to turn a mouse into an ashtray.

"All it did was grow a tail!"

"Don't worry you are way better than Ron was on his first day in fact," Harry thought for a second then said, "You're better than I was." After that the day went by pretty smoothly except for potions. Snape had taken ten points away from Gryffindor because Ash had blew up her potion and turned her and Seamus yellow.

"Go to the hospital room both of you!" Snape shouted. Madam Pomfrey turned them back into their regular color. After that Ron, Harry, And Ash went to divination.

"Get out you're books and turn to page forty three then after you are done turn to the person next to you and read their palm." Professor Trawlawney said. "Not palm reading again!" whispered a very disgruntled Ron.

"Crap." Said Ash. "I've never done this."

Ron trying to read Harry's palm said, "Ok Harry. You are going to live very long and have ten kids." Wow Harry you're going to get busy." Both Ash and Harry laughed which attracted professor Trawlawney's attention.

"My dear." Said professor Trawlawney to Ash. "You have suffered a great loss," Ash's eyes grew wide. 'How does she know?'

"I'm sorry but you are going to suffer many more." She said. Harry saw Ash's eyes grow wide after that Harry said.

"Look Ash she told me that I was going to die about one hundred times and I am still here." She calmed down but not totally. After the rest of the classes were done they all went down to the great hall for dinner.

"Hey guys." Ash said as she sat down.

"Hey." They all replied in unison.

"Guess what?" Ash asked Hermione.

"What?"

"I met this guy." Harry sat up and strained to hear their conversation.

"Really who?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know his name but he's really cute and nice."

"What does he look like?" Hermione asked.

"Well," Ash thought for a second then said, "He has light gray eyes blond hair and is sitting at that table." She pointed to the table at the end of the hall. Both Harry and Hermione looked toward the Sytherin table.

"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Hermione.

"Draco Malfoy?" Hermione asked skeptically. Harry stiffened.

"Ya that is his name, what is that bad?" Ash asked.

"Heck ya!" exclaimed Harry

"Excuse me?" asked Ash looking shocked that he heard them talking.

'Oh crap!" Harry thought.

"Um…"

"So Ash how are you doing in potions?" asked Hermione trying to get on to a new topic.

"I made my self yellow." Ash said distractedly.

"I think Ash and I should be getting to bed." Hermione said.

"Yeah." And with that they left.

"Nice job." Ron said. Harry moaned.

"You know, I think you have a crush on the new girl." Ron said.

"No I don't."

"Yeah you do."

"No I don't!"

"Yeah and I have bright green hair and sing in a punk rock band." Ron said.

"Am I that obvious?"

"Surprisingly no, but I know you to well."

"I can't believe he was listening!" Ash yelled angrily.

"Do you like him?" Hermione asked.

"Who?"

"Harry Duh." She giggled.

"A little." Ash said blushing.

"I knew it!" Hermione yelled in triumph.

"Who?" Ash asked.

"I am a girl Ash." Hermione said pretending to roll her eyes.

"Yeah you do have a point there. He has a girl friend though." Ash said sadly.

"Yeah well that's just a minor set back." Hermione said.

"MINOR? I think if she knew I liked Harry," she paused, "she would tear my head off." They both laughed.

"SO are you and Ron together?"

"Yeah." Hermione said trying to be casual.

"Since when?" Asked Ash.

"Since this summer. Harry should no by know. Well let's stop talking about boys." Hermione said.

"Is that possible for a sixteen year old girl to do?" Asked ash smiling.

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF SCHOOL

"Attention! Attention!" Professor Mugunigol yelled to her class. Harry and Ash instantly stopped arguing about if Likin Park or Good Charlotte was a better rock group.

"There is going to be a Hogwarts masquerade ball." Every girl in the class giggled. You can come with a partner if you want and you don't have to wear dress robes. It will be held on October fifth at nine o'clock." Harry looked at Ash whose eyes were twinkling. "Also there will be a Hogsmead trip next week so you can get all of you're stuff." And with that the bell rang and they left. As they were leaving Harry and Ash started arguing again.

"Good Charlotte." Harry said.

"No Likin Park." Ash said still smiling.

"What ever." Harry said in a girly fashion.

Hermione seeing Ash ran over and started to squeal.

Harry was shocked to see Hermione or Ash for that matter act so, there was only one word for it, girly. After that the day went by very quickly.

After a while of hearty eating Ash and Harry started talking about the wizarding community. Ron and Hermione left and after awhile Ash and Harry started heading toward the common room.

"So then he…" Harry started to say but then suddenly stopped.

"What, Harry, oh my."

"Cho." Harry said shakily. Cho stopped kissing with Rodger Davis and turned around.

"Oh Harry it, it isn't what it looks like." Harry looked shocked. Ash and Rodger just stood there.

'He is mine now.' Ash thought.

"Cho I should say this now. We are over."

"But Harry. He kissed me first!" She yelled in a desperate attempt to make this better.

"Hey," said Rodger, "you told me that you and Harry were over." All of this time Ash was staring at all that was unfolding in front of her.

"What! Harry are you really going to believe him?" Cho yelled. Rodger looked at her and Ash rolled her eyes.

"What are you rolling you're eyes for!?" Cho yelled at Ash.

"Umm…" Stuttered Ash.

"Don't yell at her Cho. You're the one who's lying." Harry said in Ash's defense. And with that Harry pulling Ash's arm they left. Leaving a stunned Cho behind. Ash and Harry stepped out into the cold night air.

"Thanks Harry." Ash said.

"No problem." Harry said. Then for no reason that Ash knew of he started laughing hysterically. Ash gave him a weird look.

"Uh Harry are you ok?" Ash asked skeptically.

"Huh oh yeah I'm fine. Sorry it's just that." He started laughing again.

"What? Asked Ash getting annoyed now.

"It's just that me and Ron took a bet on what guy she would get first and Ron guessed Rodger." Ash rolled her eyes. 'Oh my gosh that is the funniest thing I ever heard.' She thought sarcastically. That sat under a tree by the lake. Ash looked at the lake and started to think how pretty it was when she thought of something.

"Why where you listening to Hermione's and my conversation last night?" she asked indignantly.

"What um… I oh."

"Sorry I didn't think." Said Harry.

"It's ok."

"So Harry did you like Cho?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean like did you like her on the train? Did you like it when she hugged you?"

"Personally," Harry said, "I didn't like it at all." Ash smiled.

"So?" said Harry in a joking sort of tone. "Do you like anybody?"

"Um I don't think so."

"What about Dracey poo?" Harry said smiling.

"For you're information his name is Draco and second of all we are only friends. For right now." She said. She hurried the last part on though.

"Oh in that case," Harry started to say. 'What the heck are you doing?'

"Doyouwanttogototheballwithme?

"What?" Ash asked. 'Jeese girls just have to do this.'

"Do you want to go to the ball with me?"

'Oh my gosh yes, yeah sure yay!'

"Umm… ok sure yeah that would be great Harry." She kissed him on the cheek and left.

'Oh that wasn't that hard. Ok you can't lie to you're self that was freaking hard.'

"Hermione!" Yelled Ash running into the girls' dormitory.

"You ok Ash." Hermione asked.

"Yeah I'm fine but guess what."

"What?"

"Harry asked me to the ball."

"But what about Cho?"

"Oh while Harry and me were walking up here we caught Cho snogging Rodger Davis." Hermione snorted. "Then her and Harry were arguing or something and then she said something and I rolled my eyes and she rounded on me. Then Harry told her off then we went onto the grounds. Then he started laughing at the stupidest thing. Then he just asked me."

"Cool!"

"So I guess you're going with Ron."

"Well duh." Said Hermione.
