Chapter 4
After Harry finished crying, the four headed inside for Dinner.
"Parvati, thanks for comforting me. Without you, I wouldn't have got it all out. Please don't tell anyone about this." Harry said as they sat in the Common Room by the fireplace.
"No problem, Harry." Parvati told him. Then she did something that surprised even herself. She kissed him on the cheek. She didn't know what made her do it. It just felt 'right'… If she would have looked back after saying goodnight, she would have seen a very surprised Harry, who had his hand on the spot where she had kissed him.
The next 2-and-a-half weeks whizzed by, faster that one could say "Fizzing Whizbee". Two days before tryouts, Parvati wrote a letter to her mum.
Dear Mum,
I am going to try out for Quidditch in a couple of days. Can you please send me my Nimbus 2000? I want to be a chaser for Gryffindor. I send my love to you, Dad, and Dadi. Bye for now.
Love,
Parvati
She then sent the letter with he owl, Shiva. Then, since it was night, she fell asleep.
On the 20th, Parvati and Harry headed down to Quidditch Pitch with their brooms. Harry was Quidditch captain now. He and Parvati had practiced a few times before, and he thought she was good.
"Okay, for chaser tryouts we have Parvati Patil, Joanne Gale, Ginny Weasley, Francis Samuels, and Dean Thomas." Harry told everyone. They did a few drills.
"Everyone has done well today. Even if you aren't picked, at least you tried. Ginny, Joanne, and Parvati, you are the new chasers. Congratulations and welcome to the team!" Harry said. The three were extremely delighted and proud of themselves. "I expect to see the team on Saturday for the first practice of the season.
"Good Job Parvati!" Harry and Ron congratulated. "We knew you could do it!"
"Thanks." Parvati said. They walked up to the castle and Ron headed towards Hermione for Prefect rounds. Harry and Parvati had started doing their homework together. Parvati looked forward to this to get to know Harry better.
"Did I ever tell you about Barty Crouch Jr.? No I didn't. Can I tell you now?" Harry asked.
"Okay, fire away!" Parvati said and both burst out laughing. Harry then told her the complete story of the imposter Mad-Eye Moody. Parvati's mouth was open by the end.
"How could he?" Parvati exclaimed in outrage. A few first years looked at them questionably. They worked on their essays in silence.
"Parvati, will you got to Hogsmeade with me?" Harry asked, blushing.
"Sure, Harry!" Parvati exclaimed, her stomach doing flip-flops. She'd been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Before long, the Hogsmeade weekend (October 15th) had arrived. Parvati was jittery that morning.
"OH MY GOSH PAR! You're going on a date with HARRY?" Lavender screamed. "WE HAVE TO PUT ON MAKEUP, PAINT YOUR NAILS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE!" Parvati became irritated.
"Will you SHUT UP! I'm totally sick of that! Harry seriously doesn't care, and the truth is, I haven't worn makeup at school all this year." Parvati screamed back.
"Okay, but don't cry if he leaves you!" Lavender said. Parvati quickly combed her hair and put a curl charm (she liked curls in her hair occasionally) on her hair and ran out with her purse.
'Lavender could be SUCH an idiot sometimes.' Parvati thought. "Oh hi Harry! You look nice!" Parvati said.
"You look er-nice too (Parvati was wearing her favorite orange top that had a fuchsia butterfly on it with jeans)! What was going on upstairs?" Harry asked.
"Lavender was having a fit over me because I've given up on makeup. I think natural beauty is the best." Parvati said.
"You're right." Harry said as they walked down to breakfast. After breakfast, they headed to Hogsmeade. They stopped at the Three Broomsticks. Parvati loved drinking Butterbeer and Harry did too.
Parvati was sitting across from Harry when he put his hand on top of hers, which was on the table. When they were done with the drinks and exited, Harry said, "Follow me" and he led her to a secluded bench.
"Parvati, I really like you and have been wanting to do this for a while." Harry said, and he leaned down to kiss her. 'Oh my gosh! He's kissing me!' After a few minutes they broke apart.
"I really like you too, Harry." She said, kissing him on the cheek. They got up then and walked down the road, hand in hand…
