Chapter 4- A Trip to Hogsmede

Harry felt so relieved to go to Hogsmede. All his worries were gone, well for the moment anyways. He, Ron, and Hermione were in Zonkos. Harry had a handful of stuff he was planning on letting it slip into Ron's bed. It turned out that the Gryffindor had had astronomy with the Ravenclaws as well. Ron loved this. Every time Jessica was in earshot Ron would yell, "LOOK AT THE STARS HARRY! CAN YOU SEE THE EYE OF JUPITER?" and things to that nature. He needed enough dung bombs for a while.

Harry turned around rather quickly to go the register (he didn't want Ron to see him). BAM when he had turned around he ran straight into… Jessica. Of course, it had to be her, it just had to be. Harry's merchandise was spilled all over the floor. Jessica bent down to help him pick it up. "Hi," Jessica said, holding out her hand. Harry shook it and said back into response. "Hey" looking down the whole time.

Harry had finally collected all his merchandise and had put it on the counter. Jessica was watching him, Why was she still there? He thought. He grabbed his bag and turned around. "um-I was wondering if you wanted to- um- go into the three broomsticks with me and get something to drink?" it was Jessica. Amazed at her daring he could do all but turn it down. "Sure" he said.

Harry's heart was leaping. He was walking out of Zonko's with a beautiful girl -next to him. He was going on a date. Well- sort off. He didn't really know if it was a date. He didn't care/. All he cared about was going into the three broomsticks. He was also very glad that Hermione was a girl, and was keeping Ron at a considerable-out of earshot-distance.
