A/N Please R&R!
Lizzie was on her way to Transfiguration still thinking about her sister had said. She was daydreaming down the corridor, not giving a moment's thought to the students she was passing. Her daydream came abruptly to an end when she was tapped on the shoulder. She turned quickly, it was Hermione.
"I have been calling your name from way back there, what's on your mind?" she asked friendly.
"Oh, nothing in particular," lied Lizzie. Hermione looked suspiciously at her, then Lizzie looked down at the floor.
"Ah ha! There is something, there must be. You wouldn't have looked away!" Hermione said loudly. Lizzie walked on towards Transfiguration, Hermione caught up with her, "So, who is it?
"Who's what?" Lizzie said whilst walking on.
"The guy you were thinking about, just then."
Lizzie stopped dead. Could Hermione tell whom Lizzie was thinking about? She stood silent, staring at Hermione as if she were trying to read her mind.
"I knew it was a guy!" Hermione said reacting from Lizzie's reaction. "Come on, we have Transfiguration to get to."
They walked off, Hermione giggling under her breath and Lizzie with her mind somewhere else.
Harry and Ron were already sitting at a desk when Lizzie and Hermione walked in. They took the desk behind Ron and Harry, who then turned to chat.
"How come we didn't see you at lunch, Lizzie?" Ron asked.
"Had to talk to Dumbledore with my sister, he heard about the Dementors in Little Whinging from a Mrs Figg, do you know who she is?" she directed at Harry.
"Er, yeah. She's a squib who lives on Privet Drive." he replied informatively.
"Ohhh...that explains it!" Lizzie said to herself.
"Explains what?" Ron queried as Professor McGonagall walked in, she seemed to be in a furious temper. She slammed the door behind her, walked to the front of the class very purposefully and slammed the pile of books she had in her hands on her desk, which made a loud thud that made everyone jump. Harry and Rom turned forward pretty quickly as it did not seem it was going to be a lesson where they can get away with their behaviour, which hasn't been that good in the past.
"Open your books to page 354, and read. I am not in the mood to be asked questions Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall said as Hermione put down her hand, which quickly rose after the first syllable McGonagall had said. Everyone flicked through their books to the right page number and started to read on "Transfiguration before the 1400's". Lizzie felt a nudge from the side of her; it was Hermione, giving her a note on a piece of parchment. Lizzie opened it and it wrote:
So who is the guy? Someone at Hogwarts? In sixth year? I need to know!
Lizzie smiled to herself, she felt good about having another girl to gossip with. She grinned again and wrote below:
I'll tell if you tell, and also you must tell no one!
She passed the parchment back to Hermione, and before she knew it slid across the desk back to her.
I have no one to tell. I promise I will not tell anyone. Come on, the tension is killing me...
Lizzie thought, should she tell Hermione? She was very trustworthy and courteous. Again, Lizzie grinned and started to scribble.
Ok, it's...well...Harry.
Lizzie went read in the face as she passed it over. She saw Hermione out of the corner of her eye, reading it. Her face was surprised and smiley. Hermione turned and mouthed "Really?" Lizzie nodded in response, and turned back to the textbook she was meant to be reading. A few minutes passed and there was another nudge at her side and another bit of parchment in front of her. She took it and read it.
Oh my god. You have chosen well there. Don't be embarrassed, every girl in the world has been through what you are feeling, even myself. Keep that quiet too. You can talk to me about it, although I am out of practise with the girl advice, having Ron and Harry as best friends for five years doesn't help. So, when are you going to ask him out? If you are going to that is. Talk later; McGonagall has started to look up from her desk often. Hermione x.
Lizzie hadn't thought about asking Harry out before now. But she had a more pressing question to ask Harry on her mind...
A/N I know it was short, but please R&R!
