Chapter 3: The Thoughts
On her way to Potions, Koral decided that since she was already late for class she might as well mail her letter. She had kept her owl, Gepper in the Girls Dormitory, thankfully unnoticed as the owl had been trained for stealth and she kept her cage underneath her invisibility cloak. It was a present from her "leader" when she was 11 years old.
She was sure to avoid anyone on her way back and luckily no one had seen her. She got up to the Dormitory and pulled the cloak off Gepper's cage. The pitch black owl greeted her happily. Koral let her out of the cage and the owl clamped their talons on it.
"I need you to take this to….you know," she informed the owl. With that the owl set off through the window obediently. And Koral too hurried off.
When she arrived at the Potions Dungeon, Snape greeted her with distaste.
"Well, Miss Meanir, I'm glad you could join us," Snape sneered.
"Me too," she answered defiantly and took her seat next to a girl named Hannah Leport.
"Uhh…h, hi…" stuttered the girl she sat next to.
"Oh…hello," Koral said curtly. 'Why does everyone keep talking to me? Can't people leave me alone?'
"Okay, now that we're all settled down from our rude interruption, we'll begin today's lesson."
'He can't recognize me either? Did everyone become stupider over the summer?'
"Oh, come off it Harry! She's a first year for heaven's sake!"
"What? I wasn't thinking about her okay?" Harry answered. Even though he was lying, he didn't want anyone to know about his weird attraction towards the first year. It was a weird feeling. He didn't want to go out with her it was almost like a pull towards her. One thing he did know was that he definitely wanted to know her better.
"Well, can you blame him? She's almost as gorgeous as Fleur." Ron defended Harry. At this comment Hermione seemed to be quiet.
"I don't like her-like her…I just want to be her friend. I….I don't know how to explain it. I just feel attracted towards her." Harry said truthfully.
"Oh come on, you don't like her-like her? You wouldn't have been fantisizing and thinking about her all day if you didn't." Ron said.
'Is Ron right?' Harry thought as they left Charms, 'I wouldn't be thinking about her this much if I didn't like her, but it doesn't feel the same way it does when I like someone.' Harry kept thinking about it and that thought kept him preoccupied for the rest of the day.
