Chapter 3- Her name is Jessica
"What! Who!" Ron said outside Potions. "Well, I don't really know. Harry said going slightly red.
Throughout the whole lesson Harry tried very hard to concentrate on his potion and tell Ron everything…well not everything…but a lot of what Harry was feeling. Most unfortunately Ron did not feel the same way Harry did and teased him a considerable amount the rest of the potions class. Harry knew it was all in good fun but still. "Harry!" Hermione hissed, "you're potion is overflowing" "damn."
For the last fifteen minutes Harry had to clean up his mess and since most of hi assignment was on the floor. He had a very impending feeling he was getting low marks on this one.
Harry swallowed his lunch in one bite and forced Ron to do the same. Finally when they were waiting outside north tower Harry couldn't see her. "Maybe she'll just get here on time" Ron suggested. Harry hoped so.
Harry and Ron sat in the back of the classroom as to see if she was maybe late. No, she didn't come. Coming out of the classroom, confused Harry thought, maybe something happened to her. "Ron" he turned around, it was Hermione. "Sorry, didn't see you there" "Jessica" Hermione said. "Her name is Jessica." "Hold on?" Harry said. "How do you know?" "She's in my arithmacy class." Of course Harry thought. How could he be so stupid? Yes, he had Divination with the Ravenclaws, but not every Ravenclaw took divination. Wow did he feel dumb.
"Jessica," Ron said as they walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts. "at least we have a name now." "She seems really nice Harry" Hermione interjected. "I can't believe I never talked to her before." "Is she really quiet?" Harry asked. "No, not really" Hermione ended lamely. "Right, well that's helpful" said Ron. Hermione gave him a scathing look.
Harry wanted to talk to Hermione more about Jessica. But unfortunately, Harry was walking into his first Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Umbridge.
