Chapter Three: What You Waiting For (By Gwen Stefani)

Fred walked into the nearest shop. He didn't look at the name of it but he hoped Juliet wouldn't come and look for him. He watched Juliet walk around trying to find the man who helped her up. She walked over to a woman and asked her something and the woman pointed to the shop Fred was hiding in. Juliet walked into the shop and looked around. She saw Fred and walked towards him.

'Fred? Is that you?' Juliet asked uncertainly.

'Yeah it is.' Fred replied angrily.

'Who's there?!' A voice asked from the back room of the shop.

'It's Juliet Turner and Fred Weasley, Harry!' Juliet called back.

Harry walked out to the front of the store and looked from Fred to Juliet.

'Hi Fred.' Harry said.

'Hi.' Fred replied angrily.

Harry looked from one to the other and then sat on a chair and watched.

'Why did you kiss my brother?!' Fred asked angrily to Juliet.

'I didn't. He kissed me! And he has the red hand print on his face to prove it!' Juliet replied.

'Yeah right.' Fred replied.

'Ask your brother then!' Juliet said angrily.

'You would've let him kiss you in the past, then.'

'It's not the past anymore Fred.'

Fred glared at Juliet even though he knew he had lost the argument. He walked out of the shop and turned around and looked at the name: Turner and Potter Books.

Juliet

Juliet followed Harry into the back room, when they were in there, Harry told Juliet to sit down and he got out two fire whiskeys. He gave one fire whiskey to Juliet and he sat down.

'What was that about?' Harry asked.

'Ron Weasley tried to kiss me in the Leaky Cauldron and I slapped him and Fred must've seen before the slapping.' Juliet replied.

'He was angry and I have only one idea why.' Harry said thinking aloud.

'What's that?' Juliet asked curiously.

'He still loves you.' Harry said.

'Obviously not at this moment though. He probably wants to cook me alive.'

Harry laughed.

'It's not funny.' Juliet said trying to stop Harry from laughing. 'Harry, stop laughing! It isn't funny!'

Harry stopped laughing after a while and looked at Juliet.

'You're beautiful, you know.' Harry said to Juliet.

'Thanks.' Juliet replied.

'If I ask you a question after this will you promise not to get angry?'

'I solemnly swear I'll try to be good.'

Harry took an envelope out of his pocket and gave it to Juliet. Juliet took it and asked, 'What is it?'

'Open it and see.' Harry replied.

Juliet opened the envelope and found an invitation to The Masked Ball at Hogwarts.

'Oh my gosh!' Juliet finally said after staring at the invitation for three minutes.

'Would you do me the honour of coming with me?' Harry asked.

'Of course I will, Harry!' Juliet exclaimed happily. She hugged Harry and then kissed him on the cheek and left.

The time of the Masked Ball was coming quicker than Juliet expected. It was lucky that she already had gotten a dress robe and a mask. Her dress robes were made from pale blue silk and her mask was pale blue with pale blue beads. She had to put a protection charm on it so Gemma didn't get it dirty and neither did Juliet. Harry was going to pick her up.

The day was Gemma's birthday and Juliet gave Gemma all of her presents and after Juliet finally found her wand and cleaned up the apartment they walked around Diagon Alley and went into the shops of Gemma's chose. One of the shops was WWW Juliet hesitated before walking in but she walked in for Gemma.

Juliet walked up to the counter and saw Ron.

'Hi Juliet.' He said uncertainly.

'Hi.' Juliet replied.

'Why are you here?' Ron asked still uncertainly.

'My daughter is just looking around.'

'OK…' Ron said. Juliet noticed you could still see a red hand print on his face and when she and Gemma left the shop Juliet started to laugh.

'Mummy, why are you laughing?' Gemma asked.

'That man at the counter said something funny and I thought of it again.' Juliet lied.

After the got some ice cream they went into Turner and Potter Books. Gemma looked at the children's books and Juliet talked to Harry.

'Having a good day?' Juliet asked.

'Umm…yeah, I guess…err…what about you?' Harry said.

'Yeah I'm having a good day. Why are you going all "umm" and "err" on me?' Juliet asked raising one eyebrow.

'Well, I need some advice…' Harry said slowly.

'Shoot and please talk quicker, I'm not that slow.' Juliet replied.

'There is this girl I like and I want to kiss her but I think she'll slap me.' Harry mumbled loud enough for Juliet to hear.

'Why don't you just kiss me and find out?' Juliet replied.

Harry looked embarrassed and then he kissed Juliet. When Juliet pulled out she smiled and then she said, 'Come over tonight at 9:30.' And she and Gemma left.

That night Harry and Juliet ate, talked and kissed. At 11:45 Harry went home and Juliet went to bed. When she woke up it was 1:59. She instantly got up and had something to eat (And got angry with Hermione for not waking her up). She then had a long bath with scented soap. When she got out of the bath it was 4:00, 2 hours until Harry picked her up. She then did her hair - and did Gemma's for fun - and put her dress on.

At 5:59 Harry came to the door.

'You're early.' Juliet said.

'Huh?'

'One minute early.' Juliet said just before Gemma came running up to Harry and hugged him.

'Hullo Harry.' She said.

'Hello Gemma.' He said picking her up and spinning her around. Juliet smiled as he put Gemma down.

'Come fly with me, Julie.' Harry said sneakily.

'Flying? I thought we were Apparating and walking the rest of the way.' Juliet said a hint of fear in her voice.

'No, Julie, we're flying on my broom.' Harry said as he took her hand and lead her downstairs. Harry mounted the lightening bolt 3000 and Juliet hesitantly followed.

'You are so lucky there is a protection spell on this dress.' Juliet told him when they were up in the air.

'Why?' Harry asked.

'Because if there wasn't it would look horrible when I get off.' Juliet told him.

They continued to fly with a lot of wind in their faces. Juliet was holding on to Harry for dear life and when they finally got to Hogsmeade, Harry looked relieved that she wasn't holding onto him anymore.

They walked to Hogwarts and Juliet saw Lavender Brown and Oliver Wood, Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater.

Fred

Fred sat in the corner of the Great Hall on one of the many chairs. There were people he hadn't seen in ages and people he just saw yesterday. He sat there for half an hour watching people dance and refusing to dance with girls who asked. He stood up and walked out to the Entrance Hall. There weren't that many people in there but there was Juliet and Ron. Fred watched Ron and saw him trying to kiss Juliet but she pushed him away. Ron tried again and Juliet once again tried to push him away again but he didn't want to be pushed away. Fred ran over to Ron and tapped his shoulder, Ron turned around and Fred punched him in the mouth. Ron fell to the ground and then he stood up again and got his wand out. They started to duel.

Juliet

Juliet watched Ron and Fred duelling and she couldn't stand it. She walked into the middle and yelled; 'STOP DUELLING!' but Ron had sent a spell at Fred. It hit Juliet it the stomach and she was thrown backwards by the spell and she hit one of the walls of the Entrance Hall. Juliet black out.

Fred

'NO!' Fred yelled out as he ran over to Juliet. 'SOMEONE HELP!'

People came running into the Entrance Hall. Harry ran over to Juliet and she was taken to the Hospital Wing.
