Chapter 4- To Ask, Or Not To Ask?
Harry met up with Kaitlyn, Hermione, and Ron in the common room, grabbed his bags, and they headed off to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. They entered to classroom, and Kaitlyn's eyes widened.
"Oh my God!" she cried.
"What is it, Kaitlyn?" questioned Hermione.
Kaitlyn said nothing and just stared. The remaining three of them turned their gaze to the front of the class. They had totally forgotten that there would be a new Defense Against the Dart Arts professor this year. It was a woman. She had long, curly brown hair, and light green, almost aqua eyes.
"Hello class. My name is Professor Brown, and I will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," said Mrs. Brown.
"That's my Aunt! What the? Did Lavender know about this?" questioned Kaitlyn.
"Apparently not," replied Ron. She poked Kaitlyn, and she tore her gaze off of her Aunt and in another direction. She spotted Lavender, looking just as shocked as Kaitlyn was. Without a word, Kaitlyn walked over to Lavender and pinched her.
"Snap out of it! Or you will lose us points!" hissed Kaitlyn into Lavender's ear.
"But…I…she…" Lavender stuttered.
"Just go sit down!" replied Kaitlyn through her teeth. Lavender nodded, at sat down next to Pavarti. Kaitlyn walked back over to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and they proceeded to their desks.
"Turn to page 37 in your 6th Grade Defense Against the Dark Arts Text Book. Today we will be learning about the ancient Japanese treasure," said Mrs.- I mean Professor Brown. "Now, can anyone tell me what the treasure is?" Hermione's hand quickly shot upwards. "Yes, Ms. Granger, is it?"
"Yes, it is," replied Hermione. "The Japanese treasure is an ancient legend, telling of a person chosen every century, to protect our world from evil demons and such. He or she, who is the treasure, is said to have powers of every sort. Martial arts, tremendous strength, healing powers, and some people even believe that the treasured one is a witch or wizard. The treasure's power cannot be bound or destroyed in any way, however they can be taken control over. But the person attempting to do this would have to have immense power, or even immortality."
"Very good! 30 points to Gryffindor for that incredibly detailed answer! Well done!" said Professor Brown. "Now, when the treasure is chosen, like Ms. Granger said, he or she is sent off to learn powers of every sort, like martial arts, and in some cases, wizardry. When a treasure dies, a new one is born, but a treasure can live to be well over 100 because of his or her power. Further more, a chosen one usually wears warrior beads, as a sign of strength. Any questions?" The class fell silent. "Very well. I would like 10 inches of parchment on the Japanese treasure, his or her powers, and some information on another Japanese legend or creature. You are dismissed!"
"Great, homework on the first day!" said Ron, sobbing into his textbook. He lifted his head, and closed his book, almost catching his nose.
"Oh, smarten up Ron! It is only 10 inches!" replied Hermione.
"That's easy for you to say…you will probably write 3 feet!" said Ron.
Hermione gave him a threatening look, and Ron flinched. She turned away, and looked forward. Kaitlyn looked at Hermione with an odd look, and then at Ron. She shrugged her shoulders, and turned away from him. She looked towards Harry, beside her, who was mouthing something to Ron. Kaitlyn cleared her throat, and Harry straightened up.
"Uh, Kaitlyn?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Harry?" replied Kaitlyn. He looked a tad nervous. 'This must be important…' thought Kaitlyn.
"WouldyouliketobemydateforthedancenextFriday?" he said, rather quickly.
"What?" replied Kaitlyn. She had heard him all right…but she wanted to make sure that it was real.
"I said, would you like to be my date for the dance on Friday?" he asked once again.
"Of course Harry! I would be delighted!" she answered excitedly.
"Great, well…we should get to Herbology now." said Harry.
----So Friday Came…---------------------------------------------
After classes had finished, and she had eaten her supper, Kaitlyn had practically sprinted up to Gryffindor common room.
"Hermione, you must help me figure out what to wear!" said Kaitlyn, when Hermione walked into the room. The dorm was a mess…Kaitlyn' s clothes were scattered everywhere.
"Well you have to help me too! I want to look my best for Ron!" she replied.
"He asked you to the dance? When?" asked Kaitlyn.
"Last Thursday after Herbology…the day that Harry had asked you. He seemed very nervous about it," replied Hermione.
"I think he likes you!" said Kaitlyn, giggling like a little girl.
"I hope so!" replied Hermione. Just then, an idea hit Kaitlyn.
"I have hair straightening potion in my trunk! Do you want me to straighten you hair for you?" asked Kaitlyn.
"That would be great! I have never had straight hair before!' she replied. Kaitlyn then ran over to her trunk, and pulled out a bottle of yellow liquid.
At the dance…------------------------------------------
"Where are those two?" questioned Ron.
"There they are!" said Harry. He pointed to the doors of the Great Hall, and two girls were standing in the doorway.
Kaitlyn and Hermione were barely recognizable. Hermione' s hair was board straight, and it looked magnificent, while Kaitlyn' s hair was as curly as ever, though not frizzy in any way. Hermione' s eyes were covered in blue sparkles, and she was wearing dark blue jeans, and a light blue tank top, with a white hoodie. Kaitlyn' s eyes were covered in pink sparkles. She wore light blue jeans, with a bright pink tank top, and her favorite black hoodie. They both looked absolutely gorgeous.
Harry and Ron took their date's hands, and lead them to the dance floor. Then Harry noticed the warrior beads on Kaitlyn' s right arm.
"Kaitlyn, are those warrior beads?" asked Harry.
"They were my great grandfathers. He was the best warrior in his village. They were passed down to me from my grandmother," she replied.
"That's amazing Kaitlyn!" replied Harry.
"Thanks," replied Kaitlyn, blushing.
