Chapter 4

Hermione's POV:

"Ok, I need to go into Diagon Alley today…Katie, wanna come?" I asked, grabbing my purse and turning to Katie and Harry who were sitting on the couch.

"Sure, I'd love to help you find a boyfriend as you pretend to be doing errands so Harry doesn't know." She replied, grinning.

"Katie!!" I exclaimed, smacking her playfully on the head.

"You can be such a child sometimes!" She said, grinning, as she smoothed her hair back into a ponytail.

"So, you're finally getting settled?" Harry asked.

"Shut up!" I said. "Are you guys coming or not?"

Austin's POV:

"Hey! What've we got first today?" I asked, sitting down beside Shane at the Gryffindor table.

"Potions." Said Cassidy frowning.

"Perfect." I replied sarcastically, pulling a plate of toast and eggs toward me.

"Where's Linds?" I asked, and Cassidy and the new girl, Haley giggled.

"Getting ready." Haley replied.

"She's still getting ready?" Shane asked, and at that, they were both overcome with largea fit of giggles.

"Him." Cassidy choked out, pointing to a good-looking 7th year boy.

"Ahhh." I sighed, grinning.

"She likes Ian Scoulder?" Shane asked loudly.

"Shut up!" Haley giggled. Just then, Lindsay walked in, wearing a light blue spaghetti strap top, and a tan corduroy short-skirt. Her long hair was pulled into a thick, neat braid that cascaded down to her elbow. Shane pretended to drool, while Cassi and Haley giggled more. I smacked him in the back of the head, laughing.

Shane's POV:

I headed to Potions with Austin while Lindsay, Cassi and Haley took another rout to follow Ian. Girls.

"Hey, Cassidy's lookin' good this year, huh?" Austin asked, jabbing me in the ribs.

"Shut up." I mumbled, but a grin crept onto my face.

"Sure." He replied, grinning.

"I think I'm going to ask her to the Halloween Dance." I said. Austin stopped in his tracks, causing me to smash into him.

"You can't ask her out!" He yelled, causing many people to stop and stare.

"Dude, stop shouting!" I exclaimed, pulling him down the hall.

"Why can't I ask her out?" I whispered.

"Because, if you two get together, and break up, it will just be me and Linds. And that won't be any fun!"Austin whispered back.

"Fine."I said as we walked into Potions. Not surprisingly, Cassi, Linds, and Haley were already intheir seats, giggling away. Girls.

Hermione's POV:

"Ok, I need some new quills and parchment, and some owl treats for Midnight." I said, reading off the list I made.

"Her-Hermione!" Katie stuttered; she had gone chalk-white.

"What?" I asked, turning around. Then I saw it. It was a red haired, freckle faced, tall, handsome someone.

"Ron."
