Chapter 8: A Tour of The Castle...
Harry awoke late Sunday morning, to the sound of Ron's voice. "She's beautiful, she's everything I always wanted," Ron said in desperation. Harry assumed it was Kirsten, thinking ,they were , one of a kind. They both were always hungry, they both were rude, and they both were flirty. Harry thought that it would be just like his dreams but he was wrong (it isn't called dreams of deceit for nothing).
It was Fate. Ron felt that she would never notice him but as soon as he thought this Hermione walked in with Fate by her side. "Hi, Ron you know Fate?" Hermione said. "Well, No I don't but I think I've seen her before," Ron said. Ron was such a bad liar. "And this is Harry who's listening in," Hermione said pulling back the drapes around Harry's Bed.
"Umm, Hi?" Harry said with a sheepish look on his face. How she knew that he was listening , he didn't know and for a fact it scared him a little. Harry said "Well, Bye, Now." And he pulled back the curtains and got out of bed. He could still hear the conversation. Harry got some clothes out of his trunk, he toke of his shirt and felt strange.
He knew no one could see through the curtains but he still felt like he was being watched. Harry finished getting dressed and pulled back the curtains to see everyone waiting...for him. "What are you waiting for?" He asked. "You," Hermione said.
"Oh ok then, but why me? I mean why are you waiting for me?" Harry asked confused. "Cause umm I don't know, I guess we didn't want to leave you out," Hermione said. "Well maybe I have plans," Harry said sounding annoyed. "Ok, then,… bye," Hermione and Ron said. Ron and Hermione headed out with there few friends and started whispering things like
"What's got into Harry," and "We were only trying to be nice." When, Harry peeked his head of the dormitory, they were gone. Harry sighed in relief. He went to go sit on the common room couch when a voice from the couch said "Hello." Harry was so surprised, he jumped. There, Mona sat. Harry looked at her in a strange way like where'd you come from). "Scary, you?" She asked.
"No, umm just a little startled," Harry answered. "So I thought you were going with Hermione and them all?" He asked. "Well, Hermione was going to show me around the castle with some of her Ravenclaw friends and Ron was going to show Fate around. I just felt that I would be a third wheel. So, what's your excuse?" she said. "Didn't want them to always think oh yeah we have to wait for Harry.
I didn't want to hold any one back, plus the whole third wheel thing," Harry explained. "Well, since your not doing anything, then, can you show me where the great hall is," Mona asked. "Are you serious?" Harry asked giggling. "Yeah, I am serious, I have a terrible memory and I went looking for it this morning and I almost got lost," she said. "Well, Come on I'll show ya," Harry said.
Then they both climbed out the door and were on there way to the Great Hall. When, they got to the doors, Mona was looking down every hall way see how they got there. She was amazed. They went in and sat at the north part of the table not a lot of people were in the Great Hall because many reasons like giving tours, sleeping and reading. Mona sat down and grabbed a muffin.
Harry wasn't hungry, but he grabbed a glass of pumpkin juice to drink. When, Mona was done, she looked at Harry and said "Now how we get back to the common room?" "How about I give you a Tour? So that you don't get lost," Harry offered.
"Sure," Mona said. They both got up from the table and headed towards the door when suddenly Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy walked in. "Hello, Potter, haven't been expelled? Well, I could change that" Malfoy smirked. Harry grinned and keep walking. So, Mona looked and followed, when, Malfoy grabbed her arm and said "And who is this?" "Let go," Mona said in a rather unfriendly tone of voice.
"Maybe, If you tell me your name," Malfoy smiled. Mona did some thing crazy then. She grabbed a book right out of a passing Ravenclaws hand and started smacking Malfoy with it. Malfoy then said "I could have you expelled for that!" Mona looked at Harry and said "Let's Go." "Sure, Yeah, ok," Harry said still starting at where Mona and Malfoy stood.
Harry then stopped starting and went all over the castle showing where everything was and telling stories about each of the places. When, he was done it was 5:00 ,so they went down by the lake and chatted. "Oh, Yeah. I'm sorry about the whole, If you call me Morgana thing. I just I hate that name. So much," Mona said. "Oh, Its ok," Harry said.
"Oh, I can tell your a talkative one," Mona said sarcastically. "Yeah, I don't talk much, well, sometimes, I do, when I get angry," Harry said modestly. "Oh, well, then, ok," she said not knowing what to say. When then Hermione, Ron, Fate and a couple Ravenclaws approached them." Hi Harry and Hi Mona, We just got done showing some of the new people around the castle, How about you?" Hermione said. "Umm well I just gave Mona a tour of the castle, yeah that's about it," Harry said.
"Yeah, That's nice. Do you guys want to come back to the Great Hall with us ?" Hermione asked. "Sure," Harry and Mona said. They got up and went with the rest of them chatting about the day. When, they arrived at the great hall, Dinner had all ready begun. Everyone went back to where they had begun Fate and Mona at the North side of the table with the Beauxbatons and Harry, Hermione, and Ron towards the end. "Can't wait for classes to start tomorrow. Its hard to think after this year we only have one more year at Hogwarts," Hermione said. "Yeah that is true. I'm gonna miss this place. Bill tells me all the time that he misses this place dreadfully," Ron said.
"Yeah, maybe," Harry said. "Maybe what?" Ron asked. "I'll miss this place," Harry confessed. "Why?" Hermione asked. "Well, I might miss Dumbledore, but every thing else just brings back horrid memories," Harry squeaked out. "Oh, that's true," Ron realized. "I'm still gonna miss this place, "Hermione also confessed.
Harry, nodded and continued eating. Ron looked at them both, shrugged at Hermione and went on eating too. When Harry was done he said "Catch you guy later I'm gonna be in the common room." "Ok, Bye," Ron said shoving a cream puff in his mouth. Harry started up the stairs . When he was only one stair way to go, the stairs changed as he was stepping onto the stair.
Harry toppled down the stairs to find himself all the way back down of the stairs. "Damn, ouch ," Harry said to himself. "Are you ok?" Cho said on her way to the Ravenclaw common room. She hadn't talked to him in forever. "Fine," Harry squeaked out. "Ok," Cho said going on her way. Harry got up looking everywhere he stepped. He was positive if he fell again it would hurt even more then it did last time, because of all the bruises, that fall left. When Harry finally got to the common room, he prop down on the couch before the fire and thought to himself "Ah wow tomorrows first day of classes how fun," of course sarcasm to himself.
He kind of just sat and stared at the fire. Sirius had been in the fire few times, the funny times, the memories he had with Sirius. Harry stopped, noticing that he had a thin tear streaming down his cheek. Harry rubbed it off and laid down. He had so many thoughts to think about. He mostly thought of the future. He had thoughts of the past but it was mostly of the future, like what if Voldemort had a new plan, he knew what was gonna happen, he had a sudden idea that he was gonna die.
Then, he thought about Cho had she forgiven him, there was only one way he would know. He got up and hopefully maybe see Cho. He past the Ravenclaw door and she wasn't there, he went to the great hall she wasn't there either, he went to the library and there she was sitting talking to one of her friends and reading a unknown book. Harry wasn't quick to go up to her, after all that happened last year. Cho's friend went to find a new book and he moved in. "Hi," Harry said. "Cho looked up from her book and smiled
"Hi, Harry." "What's up?" Cho asked. "Oh, I was just wondering. What's going on with us?" Harry asked. "Not sure. I forgave you, for the whole (ahem) thing, I really don't know, do you want to go out again, or what?" Cho said sounding confused .
"Well, if you want to?" Harry said. "Ok," Cho said sounding happy. "Ok then well I guess we'll go next weekend, they have Hogsmade, A well your friends coming back, bye," Harry said leaving. When, he got back to the common room Ron, and Hermione were already there. "Where were you?" Hermione asked. "What's it matter where I was?" Harry said with a Large smile on his face.
"I know where you were," Ron said also with a smile on his face. "Where was I then?" Harry said sarcastically. Ron didn't want Hermione to look at Harry so he toke him in the corner and whispered "You asked Cho out again, The only time I remember you were smiling that big you ask her out." "Yeah, How could you of possibly remember that, I couldn't even remember that," Harry stated.
"Well, I guess I know my best friend better then he even knows himself," Ron told him smiling still. "Yeah," Harry said smiling once again. They both went back with big smiles on there faces. "What? There's something your not telling me and I'm gonna find out, what it is," Hermione said also being sarcastic a bit. They all laughed. Harry had never felt so happy probably since the first time he had met his friends. They all keep laughing and smiling being so happy.
