A/N: I'm trying to get into the system of updating faster…sorry this is a little short, and I'm glad you're all looking forward to lil Harry (or Jim) going to Hogwarts…hee hee!

Pushing through the crowd, Harry smiled at Holly who gave him a small wave. Even for all the recent messes, Harry couldn't help but feel a little queasy seeing her beautiful almond shaped eyes lighten up like that. He tried his best to ignore it as he forced himself through a bunch of seventh graders to catch up to her.

"Jim! What are you doing in school 2 days before summer vacation?" she asked after offering him some Doritos.

"Getting my report card," he said quickly, then with a quick look around the hall he grabbed Holly's arm and dragged her into the empty science lab, smiling at her startled face.

"What's going on? Is something wrong?" Holly asked her face a little pale, making Harry shake his head quickly.

"Everything is fine. Its just…Holly, have you heard what our friends are saying about us?" He watched carefully as her face grew red and her eyes fell to the floor, "do you have any idea how all this even started?"

"I didn't say anything…" she mumbled her eyes glued to the floor, "but I think I know,"

"I'm not blaming you. I promise I won't get mad if you tell me," he said watching her as her unsure eyes met his and a soft sad smile played on her lips.

"Oh Harry, why do you have to be so damn cute? But then even if you weren't I don't think it'd make a single difference," Holly shivered slightly even for the boiling heat of the day, before wrapping her arms around herself and once again her eyes glued to the floor, "guys are always the ones who like me, not me them. But you, the way you laugh, the sound of your voice, that large grin on your face…before I knew it I totally fell for you Harry. And it scared me, I mean I never felt this way before and I didn't know what to do…" Holly looked up at him and laughed sarcastically, "Trisha read my diary and you know what kind of a gossip she is. Besides with my rep with all the grade 7 and 8 grader guys what the hell are people supposed to think?"

"You…" Harry had to swallow before he managed to get an audible word out, "you l-like me?"

"Yeah," Holly sniffed, looking helpless holding herself like that, but she managed to send Harry another sad smile, "the secret is out now."

"And you called me Harry…" Harry shook his head, but it did nothing to untangle the knot made by his brain cells from what he had just heard.

"I have to go," she said and left the room so suddenly, Harry was surprised he didn't miss her exit.
