Chapter One
It was winter break from Hogwarts.
Teri was petting her orange bear as if it were a dog.
Oddly, it reminded her a lot of Ron's head. Only Rita knew about her crush.
Only she knew about Rita's crush, too. Draco Malfoy, Ron's worst enemy.
Teri had figured out about Hermione knowing there only secret, she just had to butt in.
She could hear Rita softly snoring on the bottom bunk and she could also hear Danielle's screaming downstairs. ' It must be her doll again…' she thought.
Tomorrow Harry, Ron, Rita, Hermione and Teri were going to The Three Broomsticks for butterbeer, as usual.
Teri just wished Hermione didn't have to come. They didn't have very good relationships.
'Anyway, Rita will be happy even if she'll get the tiniest glimpse of Draco…' Teri thought, slowly closing her eyes.
Next morning, Rita was still fast asleep while Teri looked for some casual but nice looking clothes after she saw her orange bear again.
She found her gold and Rita finally awoke form the loud jingling from it.
Teri remembered Harry had run out of money for some reason, (which was very suspicious and Ron was on to him) so she brought some more sickles for at least two bottles of butterbeer.
When Rita and Teri went downstairs, they smelt burnt food, which obviously came from the flying black eggs and toast.
Rita and Teri went back upstairs to avoid the smell and to feed Rita's cat, and Shade, Teri's black owl.
"Draco's got a lovely beard, lovely beard! Draco's got a lovely beard and he will not shave!" chanted Teri, cleaning up the mess Shade made a week ago.
"Hey! Draco doesn't have a beard!" shouted Rita also laughing but trying to keep a scorning look on her face.
"Hey, at least I said 'lovely', it's hard enough to say that word with Draco being the subject!"
Without any burnt breakfast, Rita and Teri raced to The Three Broomsticks, Teri yelling out that she was excited to see Ron and teasing Rita about Draco when no one was around to hear them.
Teri bumped into Ron unexpectedly because of the ice, and they both blushed bright red like tomatoes and were in an awkward position.
Hermione gave a disapproving look and hurried all of them in.
Teri broke out of the embarrassing accident and gave Harry the sickles she had brought.
"You owe me!" said Teri. Ron looked more relaxed and his freckles were visible again.
Harry smiled and thanked Teri while she was busy scratching her pitch-black hair.
Harry gave a quick glance at Rita and Teri heard him ask if he could buy a bottle of Butterbeer for her.
Teri smirked at her knowledge. 'So this is what it feels like to be that goody-two shoes Hermione, figuring out every thing!'
Unusually, The Three Broomsticks were so crowded today. The group was squashed.
Ron, Teri, Harry, and Rita all blushed.
Ron and Teri were so close again, and Teri's head was touching Ron's shoulder.
Harry was also very close to Rita, but Rita saw Draco nearby and went bright red.
Hermione stuck her head in and said, " Why are all you four so red?" she smirked slyly.
"It must be all the people… And our coats and hats! Yeah, coats and hats…" said Teri quickly, getting the hateful feeling of Hermione.
