Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. I am not J.K Rowling.
A/N: Do I have to write a disclaimer at the beginning of each chapter??? Some one tell me! I'm not getting many reviews, but I'll keep going anyway, cos I like to write stories.

"I'm telling you!" Harry said angrily to Ron and Hermione, "I saw my mum's face!"
Hermione sighed a short sigh.
"Harry, we know that it's been hard for you these past years at Hogwarts, with the burden of Voldemort, oh don't be silly, Ron, and your parents."
Ron stopped wincing and nodded instead.
"Yeah, mate, we're here to be your friends."
"And Harry," Hermione started, "Can't you be....well, think about it. You're mum's dead, Harry. What are the chances that her head was floating near the Gryffindor common room?"
"I don't know!" Harry shouted in frustration, "Maybe and invisibility cloak or something...."
Hermione and Ron exchanged looks.
"Umm...Harry?" Ron said timidly, "I don't think dead people can use invisibility cloaks."
Harry stopped thinking in a maniac, one-eyed-about-things way, and began thinking in a logical, Hermione-ish kind of way.
"Yeah," he said heavily, "I guess you're both right."
-------
"Lily! Lily!"
"What is it, James?" Lily snapped.
When Lily was panicky, she got a bit sharp. And the fact that they could have been caught by McGonagall counted as something to panic about. Lily and James had ran to the dungeons, and were now standing in a dark corner of the Entrance Hall, trying to catch sight of someone they knew.
James looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Lily, are we still in the same school?"
"Of course we are, of course we are! Don't be ridiculous!"
"But Lily, I saw..."
"I don't care what you saw! Let's just find one of our friends, even that pathetic Pettigrew will do, and ask them what's going on!
"But Lily! Listen!!!"
"What is it James?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"When we passed through the dungeons just now...."
"Yes????"
"Well, I saw Snape, and he was up the front, teaching!"
"Don't be ridiculous! You know as well as I do that Snape is a student, not a teacher!!!"
"But Lily, I swear, I saw him teaching Potions!"
Lily considered this for a minute, and then dismissed it as a figment of James's imagination.
"Lily?" James said, looking at her with puppy-dog eyes.
Lily couldn't stand it when he made that face at her. She couldn't stay in a bad mood.
"Yes?"
"I'm hungry."
Lily groaned.
--------
"Hermione!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ron whined after Transfiguration, "Please????"
"No, Ron! You are in Seventh year! You should be capable of talking to a girl by yourself."
The Hogsmeade weekend was soon, and Ron wanted to talk to Melanie.
Come to think of it, Harry needed to talk to Rachel as well.
"Tell you what, Ron. I'll introduce you to Melanie personally, and you two can talk. I kinda need to speak to Rachel too. And those two always go around together."
Ron looked relieved.
"Okay. It's just that I don't know what to expect. Some girls, like this one," Ron gestured at Hermione, "Are capable of biting your head off."
Hermione gave him a withering look.
"Where as," Ron continued, ignoring Hermione, "Melanie might be really nice."
"Ron, please stop talking as if you know anything and everything about girls. Because you don't know the first thing.
Ron had been incredibly excited when the news reached him that Melanie wanted a date. But now, when he actually had to confront her, he was a bit nervous.
"I do so!!!"
"Okay. We'll help you." Harry said.
"Alright, Ron. When you meet Melanie, what will you do, and say?"
"Umm...I'll say... 'Hi! My name is Ron. I am a Hogwarts student. I haven't seen you around. Isn't the weather nice today?'"
Hermione and Harry glanced at each other, and burst out laughing.
"What? What did I do wrong?"
"Ron, for one, do not point out the obvious. 'I AM A HOGWARTS STUDENT!' or 'HI! MY NAME IS RON!!"
Harry laughed again.
"What you do is you walk up, and you go 'Hi. Are you Melanie? Nice to meet you.' And you hold out your hand for them to shake it. It's not formal, but it cracks the ice. And smile!!!"
"Shake hand, smile, nice to meet you." Ron muttered.
"Okay, you're all set. Let's go."
"Harry grabbed the back of Ron's shirt, and dragged him off to find Melanie.
------
"Wow, there certainly are a lot of hot girls around today....you included, of course." James added hurriedly after a murderous look from Lily.
Lily's keen eyes were still scanning the Hall.
"I can't believe it! There is absolutely no-one here that we know!"
"We could ask the teachers. McGonagall or someone. It won't look so suspicious now."
Lily sighed.
"I suppose. There's McGonagall. Let's go."
Pulling off the cloak, they made their way across to the Professor, who was standing by the stairs.
"Err...Professor?"
The Professor stared at Lily and James.
"Professor McGonagall?" Lily said timidly, "Why are there so many new people around today??"
"Ah, um, err........."
Professor McGonagall went chalk white, and fainted.
"What the hell???" James said.
"C'mon, James. We're going to see the Headmaster."
