Now the Second Chapter...
Chapter 2: Who?
Well so far, Keira had survived her first month of school. She became closer with Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Seamus, Lavender, Parvati, Neville, and Harry of course. And yes, Draco is still picking on her, and it gets worse every time.
Keira was looking at onto the lake and watching the sun slowly set. 'beatuiful', she thought while picking up a rock and skipping it. She heard a twig break and laughed, "Oh hello, Ron. Not every good at being silent, 'eh?"
Ron shook his head, "Well you know me well don't you."
"Well it doesn't take that long to realize that you love food, love to talk, and always copy Hermione's homework because you are so lazy," she smiled.
Ron rose his finger to protest but all that came out was, "...true..."
"So what brings you out to the lake?"
Ron picked up a rock and tried to imitate Keira's rock skipping technique but only accomplished to fling the rock behind him. Keira saw this whole thing and was trying hard not to laugh. "Um, Ron, have you ever skipped a rock before?"
Ron turned red, "Is it really that obvious?"
"Oh, well I don't know, why don't you ask Hermione, I mean, after all, she is the one that you hit with that rock?" She pointed behind Ron.
Ron's eyes were almost twice the normal size, then he slowly turned around and saw Hermione heading straight for him, "Help.." he whispered.
Hermione, looking flushed, held the rock up in front of Ron's face, "Ronald! Next time pleeeaase watch what you are doing!" Then tossed the rock in the lake and turned around and headed back towards the castle.
Keira laughed, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, when you skip a rock, its kind of got to go on the water, not in the opposite direction and hit innocent bystanders."
Ron rolled his eyes, "hahaha...very funny." 'She is so great, I think I li...no...I couldn't...Could I?'
"Would you like me to teach you?"
"I don't know I kind of found 'Mione's reaction funny..." Ron began before Keira punched his arm in a friendly manner, "well sooorry."
Well it took Ron more than one day to finally get the flciking motion of the wrist, but he eventually figured it out. Ron had an excellent time and had grown very fond of Keira, he might even fancy her, but unfortunately for Ron, Keira only looked at him as a friend and nothing more, but Harry...now that was a total different story, but she wasn't the only one that liked him.
Hermione sat quietly in the Library, studying for her potions exam in 2 weeks. She kne no one would be studying this early so she had the library all to herself, not including the ghosts that pass in and out.
Something had been bugging Hermione lately and she couldn't get it out of her head, it just stayed there, nagging at her.
Harry and Ron entered the library and sat down across from Hermione. They always seemed to join her when she was half way through completing her paper.
"So what are you up to Hermione?" Harry asked picking up her paper once she relaxed her hand and set the quill in the bottle of ink.
"Oh, nothing really, just studying for the Potions exam." She glanced at Harry and thought, 'Will he ever notice me?...probably not...'
Harry sighed, 'same old Hermione'.
"What...'Mione! That isn't for two weeks! You just always have to be done before everyone else, dont you? Just rub it in our faces that you like get 140 on every exam." Ron said fast in one breath.
Hermione laughed, "Actually Ron, no, and that isn't my plan at all. Really you need to read more."
Ron relpied quickly, "Well if there was a book about you, then I would gladly read, for I would do anything to learn more about you and your little lectures."
Hermione glared.
Harry smiled at Hermione, then looked at Ron and said, "Wanna head back to the common room?"
Hermione thought to herself, 'Man, I love his smile'. And picked up her books, "sure."
Ron nodded and got up, and they all headed back to the Common Room.
Keira sat next to the fire just letting the warmth calm and sooth her. She looked up to the ceiling and saw a shimmer of something, she didn't know what. She carefully examined the room to make sure that no one was around, and once she saw that the coast was clear she closed her eyes and concentrated. Then she suddenly began to lift into the air, floating you could say. Once she reached the ceiling she examined the spakling object, she then realized that it was a diamond! She heard the portrait hole open and mumbled something that sounded like 'oh man', then turned invisible. She looked down and noticed that the people that came in were Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They all sat down by the fire, besides Keira who was invisible and hovering by the ceiling.
"So, you guys, did you ever hear about the Christmas Dance?" Hermione brushed some hair behind her ear.
"No Hermione, I mean I never pay attetion to anything at all!" Ron said sarcastically.
Harry laughed.
"Oh, well atleast you admit it," Hermione said calmy.
"But anyways..." he glared at Hermione who glared back, "I have no idea who to ask."
"Me neither," Harry took off his glasses and cleaned them.
'Harry should ask Hermione, I mean it is obvious that she fancies him,' Ron thought to himself, 'I mean, look at the way she looks at him. She looks at him with admiration...wait...admiration? I didn't even know I knew that word, wait...I don't even know what it means'
Hermione straightened up, "Oh well, I already know who I am asking, or hope asks me." 'Well I actually wish Harry would ask me, but that is obviously out of the question'
"Who?" Ron rolled his eyes.
"No one special." 'If it was Harry that would be a lie'
"Well I still don't know." Ron said looking at the ground. Harry nodded, "same".
Hermione stood up, "Oh my gosh! Pull yourselves together!" She said hitting them lightly on the heads.
"Alright, sorry." Ron closed his eyes, preparing for Hermione's 20 minute lectures on how important this is.
"This is not jsut a dance, this is a time to speak, up and tell the one you like how you feel! You shouldn't just sit back and let them never know, and go with someone else..." 'easy to say, hard to do', "and don't say you don't know who to ask. What kind of excuse is that." She threw up her arms in frustration. Why must guys be so daft sometimes? "There has got to be someone that you fancy..." She continued on not noticing Ron snoring quietly in the corner.
After another 10 minutes of her rambling on, "And so..." She walked over to Ron and hit his cheek, "Wake up Ronald!"
Ron waking up from his dream about...what else?...food yelled looking around the room frantically, "Can I get fries with that?"
Harry burst out laughing, but Hermione only sighed, "Won't you ever learn?...But do you suppose you might ask...Keira?"
Harry was now suddenly paying attention. Ron looked shock, but the thought had crossed his mind, "Um...I dunno. Never thought about her. What do you think Harry? Should I ask her?"
Harry didn't know what to say, for some strange reason the thought of his best friend going out with Keira didn't make him happy, "Don't know...its up to you." He glanced into the fire.
Keira couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wouldn't mind going to the dance with Ron, but she only thought of him as a friend, well for now at least. But what she heard next made her blush.
"Hold everything!" Hermione placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "You like Keira don't you Harry?" 'What am I saying?'
Harry had never really thought about it before. 'Do I like her?' "Well, I uh don't really know. I mean she is nice, smart, pretty, and has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, but I haven't really thought about it."
Hermione felt as if her heart was just torn out and chopped into a billion different pieces and thrown all over the room. But she managed to look past all this pain, and clapped her hands together and smiled, the best smile that she could manage, "You do like her!" 'Dangit', "I can tell by the way you look at her when she talks to you!"
Ron nodded in agreement, "Aye, mateee, I think yer do too".
Hermione wrinkled her nose at Ron, "Whenever you decided to become a wannabe pirate in the last 3 minutes I will not know."
Harry laughed, "I guess I do, but Ron, who will you ask? I mean its not like there are any girl pirates around here?"
Ron coughed to try to hide his blush, "I'll be fine, there are other girls to ask. And I don't...really...like her, or atleast not like you do."
Hermione just wanted to go away from it all, so she just patted Harry on the arm as he stood up and said, "Good luck."
They all walked up to there dormitories, unaware that the person that they were just recently discussing, was right above them, and heard every single word.
Keira gracefully floated to the ground and became visible again. She smiled to herself. 'Harry likes me' It felt as thought there was someone tapdancing inside of her, well not literally of course. Once she got over the shock she turned around and walked upstairs to go into a deep sleep, dreaming of what was yet to come...
AN: Well there you have it. I hoped you liked it, well I must now go. Shame one me, I have homework, but I chose to write the next chapter instead. Well anyways, I would love to hear what you all thought of it, so send me any comments, concerns, ideas...anything around there!
