DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling, not to me. I only own Jamie, Zach, Salem Academy, and all of it's other mentioned students.
Thanks: To all who have read and reviewed.
Harry knew that he wouldn't be befriending Dia Thorne anytime soon, he was also glad that Hermione wasn't around to see the incident. Back at the library Zach told Jamie about what they'd seen. Jamie wasn't too happy.
"There's nothing wrong with being Muggleborn! I'm not ashamed." Jamie proudly yelled.
"You're a Muggleborn?" asked Hermione from behind a huge leather book.
"Yes. But I'm still a witch."
"Isn't that the truth?" Hermione beamed. "I wish more people were like you."
"Thanks, Hermione." Jamie said looking as if she were going to cry.
Ron rolled his eyes at them and scanned the area. But it wasn't any different from a normal library. Nothing but ladders, and shelves full of books.
"So what do you do for fun here?" Ron asked Jamie and Zach.
"Meet me and Zachary outside the library doors at 9 ."
"But isn't that against the rules?" asked Hermione hesitantly.
"Not that, that'd ever stop us." Jamie said deviously
Hermione looked as if she was about to be dragged along on another one of Harry and Ron's adventures.
To pass the time Hermione, Ron, and Harry took a walk around the grounds. Lush trees, shrubs, and flowers filled the area. There were students reading, studying, and chatting on patches of green in the shade. Hermione was smelling roses by the flowing stream until she saw a hairy catarpiller crawl out of a closed bud.
"Just full of surprises, this place!" she yelped.
"Maybe Crookshanks will meet a dog." said Ron wishfully
"Oh, get off it...I thought you'd be over that by now."
Ron just stared at Hermione shaking his head. Hermione looked down at the ground and blushed.
"Oh look!" said Hermione pointing to a nearby grassy knoll.
"What is it?" Harry wondered.
"So...what? All I see is Malfoy's hand resting on a tree." said Ron.
"Looks like he's found something he likes." Harry said pointing behind the tree.
Indeed...Draco's arm wasn't resting on a tree. It was resting on the shoulder of Dia Thorne. They were standing on the knoll talking to eachother while Draco's hand was twisting one of her tendrils around his finger.
"Isn't she?" said Hermione trying to study Dia's face.
"Dia Thorne. Captain of the Dungeon Stairwell's all girl Quidditch team." said Ron.
"How do you know so much about her?" she asked.
"Oh, I heard about her."
"Well at least it's not Pansy." said Hermione.
"No, she's spying on them behind that bush." Harry laughed.
