A/N: Hey I want you all to know that despite having a broken arm I'm sucking it up and pushing pain to the back of my head and trying to get the this chapter out a lot faster that the last one. So please review!

Disclaimer: Did you hear in the news that JK broke her arm? No? Really? Well then I guess that proves that I'm not her, because I totally have a broken arm! So I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter 4: Hogsmead Chat

Harry, I would love to go to Hogsmead with you, but we both have that transfiguration essay due on Monday. Would you like to work on it together? No that does not mean me doing all the work then you copying! I actually mean working together. Are you interested?

reply

Hermione, I would love to work on the essay together. I'm not going to copy, and it's not just because you said that. I've decided to take more of an interest in my school work. So yes maybe if we get done early we can try to make it to the Three Broomsticks for a butter beer.

Harry Potter actually focusing on school work instead of flying? Inform the Prophet! Just joking. Would you like to meet around 11 tomorrow to work on the paper? Yeah, if we did finish early a butter beer sounds excellent. See you then.

Welcome to the Interhouse chat room: Building interhouse relationships with the click of a mouse.

Snape: I see you have nothing better to do than come and sit at a computer like a mindless drone. Don't insult people.

PhoenixTears: So you're the only one who is allowed to insult?

Snape: Do not talk to me like that you little prat.

Serendipity has entered the chat:

Snape: Welcome to this lovely chat room. Do not talk to me I'm just here as a favor to the headmaster.

Serendipity: Umm… Alright we'll leave. Phoenix?

PhoenixTears: Yes, well leave immediately for your sake Professor.

(For Snape's sake they enter a private chat)

Serendipity: Aren't people supposed to pick usernames that don't give away who they are?

PhoenixTears: Yeah, but consider who it is! 

Serendipity: Point taken. So did she say yes?

PhoenixTears: Well sorta.

Serendipity: What do you mean sorta?

PhoenixTears: We're going to do something else. It doesn't matter what we do as long as we're together.

Serendipity: That's really sweet. What should we talk about?

PhoenixTears: Should we continue our game?

Serendipity: That sounds great. I'll start.

Serendipity: 6. What do you like most about your best friend?

PhoenixTears: You don't know who they are!

Serendipity: So. I'll get to know more about you by your answer.

PhoenixTears: Ok… Well, she is the most caring person I know. She stands up for every one of her beliefs and won't back down even when people say she's crazy. She stands by her friends even when she questions their motives. She is amazing!

Serendipity: A girl? Surprising! I can tell by the way you talk about her, that you would risk everything for her. It makes me wish my friends would feel the same way about me.

PhoenixTears: I would do anything for her. If your friends don't think that about you, their obviously crazy!

PhoenixTears: 7. If you could tell one person anything, who would it be and what would you tell them?

Serendipity: I would make sure that my best friend knew that I was there for him. Through it all I will always be there for him to talk too.

PhoenixTears: Would you mind if we stopped for a bit and just talked?

Serendipity: Sure. Do you have something in mind?

PhoenixTears: Kinda. I feel like I can talk to you even though I have never met you.

Serendipity: I know what you mean. Is there something you need to just unload? If so my ears are open.

PhoenixTears: I don't know where to begin! My friend, she is amazing. The problem is… well I haven't experienced much of this sort of thing. I guess what I'm wondering is how do you know something like this is real?

Serendipity: If you're asking, how to know you love this girl then you need to look at your relationship with her.

PhoenixTears: We've been best friends since first year.

Serendipity: That's not what I mean. What I mean is, look at how that relationship has changed. You said she would do anything for you. Would you do anything for her?

PhoenixTears: Oh… After last year I would do anything to keep her safe. Hell I've started to do my homework before the last minute to try and make her happy.

Serendipity: Then it seems to me that you already know your answer.

PhoenixTears: What if doesn't work out between us?

Serendipity: You can't let fear dictate what you do. If we lived our lives in fear we would never step out of our houses. The thing you need to remember is some people enter our lives destined to leave it. All we can do is hold on as tight as we can, and then learn from the experience making us a bit wiser for the next time.

PhoenixTears: Wow… I've never heard anyone say anything like that. How do you know this?

Serendipity: A wise old man told me this as he stared at the woman he loved.

PhoenixTears: It sounds like something Dumbledore would say to tell the truth.

Serendipity: Exactly.
