((OMG It's like I haven't been updating since like ever. I am so sorry everyone! I resolve to be more active, but have been having writer's block.))

Disclaimer-Yeah. Like, I'm the girl who made the million dollar idea for HP. Yeah right. I can't even update well.


It's just like any old Hogsmeade day. The Hogwarts people were all lined up neatly, going into Hogsmeade. It was in the middle of March, but the weather was still windy, and the trees were shuddering. The dead leaves were scattered around the path, filled with luminous colors brightly shaded of red and orange and yellow.

I wrapped my scarf around my neck and shoulders tighter, and buried my cold nose into it, blowing to keep my face warm.

Jennifer was standing besides me, but unlike me, she was wearing a light grey colored sweatshirt, which, apparently, was keeping her warm. She smiled at me, and despite the freezing coldness of the spring air, I couldn't help it. I smiled back. That's what I love about Jennifer. Her smile brightens up the gloomiest days, and was so contagious. A dimple shows on either side of her cheek, which makes me want to smile with her.

She spoke, "I can't wait to get a nice hot cup of Butterbeer!"

I grinned. "I wouldn't mind one myself." My warm breath lingered in the air for a moment.

"It's so COLD!" She whined, shoving her hands into the giant pouch in the front of her sweatshirt.

I nodded vigorously.

The line of kids of all houses jolted to a stop. We were there at last. Jennifer and I rushed into the Three Broomsticks, and sat down after ordering two giant sized butterbeers. Without a moments hesitation, as soon as we got our order, we started swigging from the mug. The steam of the liquid warmed me up a lot, and I rubbed my poor cold hands around the cup. We enjoyed every last bit of it, until the final depressing slurp the sound of an empty mug sounded out.

"Ahhhh…." I relaxed at last, resting my head on the back of my chair. Good old butterbeer. Jennifer, having finished hers also, sounded content. "Yum. Let's go and check out the other shops!"

Reluctant to leave the cozy place, yet eager to explore Hogsmeade, I decided to follow Jennifer, but not without a final whine. "Awww………"

So I left the caffee, following my friend's lead. We went into a crowded Zonko's, and tested out all of the gadgets and gizmos. Coming upon a strange looking thing, I stopped and touched it. Suddenly the room was filled with a loud scary laughing. It seemed to be everywhere. I jumped back, but touching someone's clothes, yelped and jumped forward again and looked back. It was so embarrassing, since everyone's eyes were on me. Speechless, I stared at the person I had bumped into.

He looked bewildered, and kind of… flushed. I took a sharp intake of breath, and started muttering my apologies under my breath, all the while looking at the ground. But it was so hard, not to look into his beautiful emerald eyes. Harry muttered something too, like it's ok or something. I didn't hear, but pulled Jennifer out of the shop.

She told me that it was ok. Bumping into him is not that big of a deal. Blah blah. I didn't listen, just stared ahead, feeling pity for myself, all the time thinking about the look he gave me when I jumped back onto him. Just thinking about it makes my cheeks turn red.

But whatever. I got out of the mood soon, not wanting Jennifer's Hogsmeade trip to be ruined. We explored the village. I didn't know where we went. But I do know I bought a hair-tie from somewhere, and Jennifer got another sweatshirt. And we had a bag of chocolate frogs between us.

After a while, we went back to Hogwarts, feeling full of chocolate. Most of my embarrassment was gone now. Only the look in his eyes remained in the back of my mind, but I shook it away. He was Harry Potter, boy who lived. I was just….Melody.


((Sorry for the long wait folks. So yeah. And yeah. Whatever. But the next chapter is just within the horizon. Hopefully.))
