Chapter 2- The Early Morning Kiss

At lunchtime Harry lead Maxine down to the Great Hall. They were standing outside of the Great Hall.

"Your nervous arnt you?" said Harry

Maxine nodded "Yeah a little"

"I was nervous to when I first came to Hogwarts" said Harry

"Yeah but you came here as I first year I didn't" said Maxine

"Good point" said Harry "but still don't worry about it" and they went inside and everyone stared, they sat down at the Gryffondor table where Ron and Hermione were saving them seats across from them.

Dumboldore stood up "Attention!" he said the students all quieted "Everyone id like to announce that we have a new transfer student from America..Miss Maxine Royston would you please come up here"

Maxine stood up and slowly walked up to the teachers table. She could feel everyone's eyes on her back. She wasn't used to such a big school being that her school had about only 1/4 the population at hogwarts.

"Now I want you all to make her feel as welcome as possible" said Dumboldore "you may go back to your seat now."

Maxine went back to her seat.

Over at the Slytherin table one Draco Malfoy couldn't take his eyes off of Maxine. 'Nice very nice its about time this school got a hott American transfer like her...to bad she's in Gryffondor...but then again that's never stopped me'

After lunch Harry decided to show Maxine around the school. They were walking out by the lake when Draco and his goons came up to them.

"Well well well if it isn't scarhead" said Draco his goons laughed.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked annoyed by the very presence of them.

"I came to welcome Maxine" said Draco with a smirk

Harry was glaring at Malfoy but didn't say nothing further.

Draco only smirked "Well Maxine how are you liking Hogwarts so far?"

"Its ok" said Maxine. She had a bad feeling about Draco "But if you'll excuse us me and Harry were heading back to the Gryffondor common room" she lied so they would leave.

"Alright" said Draco "Well I'll see you around" and he and his goons left.

"He's no good" said Harry. "None of them Slytherin's are"

"I could tell" said Maxine. "Lets get out of here before they come" she says taking Harry's hand

without thinking, when she took his hand she felt all of her troubles go away. They looked at each as they both had felt it but neither let the other hand go. They walked back into the castle hand in hand, not saying a word.

They walked into the Gryffondor common room still holding hands. Ginny and Colin were the only ones in there.

"Omg! Are you guys going out!" Ginny asked noticing them holding hands.

"No" they both said at the same time and letting go of each others hands.

"Sure" said Ginny with a smile then she turned her attention back to Colin and the game of chess they were playing.

Harry and Maxine went and sat on the couch. They said nothing to each other for awhile.

"So...what are your classes?" Harry asked.

Maxine handed him her schedule.

"Cool you've got all your classes with me" said Harry with a small hint of a smile

Maxine looked at him then looked away smiling. "That's cool." They spent the rest of the day in the common room talking. And the next day they hung out with Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Colin. And soon Monday came which meant classes.

Maxine woke up an hour earlier then anyone else she got dressed and reading for classes then went down to the common room. She went to sit on the couch but noticed someone sitting there. It was Harry. "Harry?"

He looked at her and gave her a smile. "Good morning" he said.

"Mornin" she replied. She was closer to Harry then she was with any of the others. She had told him stuff she hadn't even told her old best friend.

"Come sit" He said patting the seat next to him. She sat down. "I had a dream about you last night" he said out of nowhere. 'Nice going Harry freak her out'

"You did?" Maxine asked

"Yeah" said Harry. A silence fell over them.

Maxine looked down at her feet. She had a dream about him to but didn't say nothing about it. 'Should I tell him I had a dream about him to? ... no'

"You ready for classes today?" He asked

"Yeah I guess so" She said.

Harry looked at Maxine. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure" said Maxine.

'Go on ask her already say it quickly and get it over with' ... "I was wondering if..." He paused for a second. Maxine was looking at him and before he could stop himself he kissed her softly on the lips.

Maxine looked at him with wide eyes. When he kissed her it sent tingles up and down her spine. She had been kissed by other guys but never got that feeling before.

"Im sorry" said Harry "I don't kno..." he was stopped in mid sentence by Maxine's lips coming down on his.

They only pulled back for air. Both of them were blushing. Something was different and they both could feel it but what it was they didn't know.

((AUTHORS NOTE: In case any of you readers were wondering why they get those feelings well you'll soon find out why))

Maxine laid her head on Harry's shoulder and they sat there in silence until the others started to come down. And then they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"I feel sorry for you guys having double potions first" said Hermione she didn't have to take potions.

"What's wrong with potions?" Maxine asked.

"Professor Snape" They all said at once.

"Oh..."She said.

"He hates Gryffondors" said Harry. "And favors Slytherins"

"Oh I see" Said Maxine. They finished breakfast and headed for their first classes.

Harry and Maxine went down to the dungeons where the potions class was. They walked inside Slytherins also had this class. They sat at a back table.

Professor Snape came into the classroom. "Today we will be making a love drought. The instructions are on the board. You will be assigned a partner and that will be your partner for the rest of the semester." A list appeared in his hand and he began to read off the names "Potter and Zambini ((a girl)). Royston and Malfoy" everyone slowly got up and went and sat by their partners. Maxine went reluctantly as did Harry.

"Well hello again" said Malfoy as Maxine sat down next to him.

"..Hi.." was all she said and they got to work on the potion. Draco keep trying to get close to her the whole time. At the end of class Maxine was nearly falling off the bench from Draco scouting over. Harry had took notice of this and felt a little bit jealous and mad.

Maxine hurried up and got out of the class leaving Draco to turn in the potion to Snape. Harry followed Maxine out of class.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Yeah im fine." She said.

"What was he doing scouting so close to you for?" Harry asked.

"I don't know." said Maxine. "Being a jerk." She had a free period now and then after was lunch.

"Well I was going to go head down to the Quiditch field to fly around. Do you wanna come?" Harry asked.

"Yeah sure." said Maxine. And they walked down to the Quiditch field hand in hand. All the while Draco was watching them.

'So she'd rather be with potter then me! Well she's got another thing coming cause Draco Malfoy always gets what he wants'

Harry and Maxine flew around the Quiditch field talking to each other about stuff they would normally never tell anyone else.

"We should probably head back now for lunch" said Harry even though he really didn't want to leave.

"Yeah I guess so" she said almost sounding disappointed.

Harry looked at her. "Or we could stay here?" he said with a smile. Maxine smiled. "I'll take that as a yes"

"I love flying its so relaxing" said Maxine.

"That it is" said Harry.

Maxine looked at him.

"What?" He asked

"Nothing" she said shaking her head.

"Sure" said Harry he flew over to her. "Tell me or you'll be sorry"

"How will I be sorry?" She asked but before she could finish her sentence Harry had pulled her over to his broom and had her sitting side saddle in front of him. "Hey I was perfectly fine on my own broom thanks"

"Tell me" said Harry.

"No" Maxine said.

"Fine" said Harry and he kissed her.

Maxine looked at Harry, it was the second time that day that he had kissed her and both of them were out of the blue. "What was that for?" she asked.

"Oh nothing" Harry said with a small hint of a smile.

"Yeah right" said Maxine.

"I thought you two said you weren't going out!" called Ginny from down on the ground Ron and Hermione were there with her. They seen the kiss.
