Chapter 5

Harry and Julia had planed to meet at the restaurant that they both had agreed on. Both were running late and thought that the other might be waiting for them so they were trying to hurry. Julia was trying on her 7th sun dress turning to stand in front of the mirror, trying to see if this one could be the one, her makeup done and her hair washed, dried and combed. Nodding her head slowly she grabs her purse and heads out the door. The restaurant only being a couple blocks from her house she decides she will walk, slowly thinking about what Harry could ask and what she is welling to tell him. Its not that she is really keeping any secrets, just on ones really wanted to get to now her, besides the other Wesley's that is. She looks up suddenly remembering where she is going just in time to see that she is just outside the restaurant.

Seeing Harry standing by the door, she walks over with a smile "Harry! Ready for some food."

Harry turns towards her voice and smiles as he sees her "Yup! I brought a healthy appetite,' Harry says walking towards the door of the restaurant and opening it for her 'After you!"

Smiling Julia walked into the restaurant stopping just inside to wait for him "Thanks"

Harry walks up to the front of restaurant and asks for a table for you before turning back to her "I'm glad you agreed to do this" he says with a smile.

"No problem, I think its going to be fun" she replies.

It only takes a few moments before they are lead to a table in the corner by a window. Harry stand behind Julia's chair and pulls it out for her. She smiles and sits down and he pushes her a bit close to the table before walking and sitting across from her. They both order a soda and the waiter walk away, and then they just kind of sit there in silence.

Harry clears his thought and opens his mouth to speak "Well, this is interesting,' he states 'maybe this was a bad idea?"

Julia had been looking down at her glass, running her finger around it, she now looks up at him throw the hair that had falling out of her hair clip. She gives a small smile before replying "No this was a good idea, we needed to get our minds off the case,' she states 'we are just not use to each others company yet." She takes a deep breath before continuing "Why don't you ask me some questions?"

"Are you sure?" Harry asks trying to read her face.

"Yes! It will make things better, we need some way to start a conversation don't we." She relies with a small nod of her head.

"Ok,' Harry says taking a deep breath 'ummm tell me a bit about yourself? Do you have any siblings?

Julia crosses her left leg over her right before answering "I live alone, I've always been alone, and my parents left me with my grandmother when I was a baby. I lived with her until I was about seven then I started to show signs that I was a witch, my mother and father were both a witch and a wizard, and kicked me to the street. I guess I lived on the streets in the muggles world to about a year. Then I found this family that kind of took me in and here I am."

Harry had been watching her face as she talked and noticed no real emotions as she talked about her parents. "I'm sorry, about your parents and all, they never came back to find you.

She gives him a small smile "Don't worry about it, it's alright really. There was a rumor my sixes year of school that they died,' she says with a shrug 'I never cried then, or when they first left me at my grandma's.

"Oh I see,' Harry says 'don't you ever feel the need to cry or anything?

Julia shakes her head before answering "Nope, and I know where you are going with this, helping families find there missing children and seeing them crying. I am the right person to help them because I don't want them to feel like I'm should be.

Harry smiles "Yea I see, I guess I'm right for this too, after all that's happened to me to." He replies with a nod.

Julia smiles across the table at him. Just then the waiter returns to get their orders, Julia orders some chicken fingers and fries, as does Harry. They stay quiet again even after the waiter leaves them.

Harry swallows hard before asking the next question on his mind "So this family that kind of let you live with them, do you mind if I ask who there are?"

Julia studies him for a moment before answering "Why do you ask, do you think you know who there are?"

Harry gives a weak laugh before replying "I thought I was the one asking the questions? There are rumors going around, well there are always rumors going around, that you have been seen hanging out with a couple certain people."

Julia giggles herself at that statement "True, about the rumor thing, especially with the all mighty Harry Potter and the rest of the Famous Trio. I can also tell you are confessed, with the information that you got on me, but that's understandable "

"So you are friends with the people that I heard that you hang out with?" Harry asks.

"How am I apposes to know?' Julia answers with a giggle 'you never told me who it was.

Harry blushes slightly "Oh right,' hits himself lightly in the head with his hand 'the Wesley twins, Fred and George, you've been seen with them!

"Yea I know Fred and George and we're friends,' gives a small shrug 'what's wrong with that?

"Its alright, it's just that Ron doesn't remember them meeting you, you just seem to know them. I guess we're just a little confused!" Harry says.

"Well you answer this for me,' she says looking down at her glass again still running her finger around the rim 'who would you believe more, me or Ron and Hermione?"

"Ron and Hermione' Harry states a little too quickly 'they are my best friends!"

"Right and Ron are Fred and George's brother, so he thinks he knows everything about them, and you believe what he says so I can't go into much detail because you will not believe a work I say." Julia replies.

Harry gets a confused look on his face "what does that have to do with my question?" he asks.

"Nothing, never mind, I'm getting ahead of my self." Julia answers blushing a little.

Confused Harry opens his mouth to say something but the waiter arrives with their food, placing the plates in front of them, she asks if there is anything else they want but Harry and Julia both shake their heads and say no.

After the waiter leaves and she swallows the bite of chicken she took she speaks again "Sorry about that, I get a little offensive some times!" Julia says.

"It's alright,' Harry says taking a bite of a French fry, 'some people like to put up walls around certain things and its hard to talk about them. I have some of those too."

Julia nods looks at him, he seemed down all the sudden, and it's not really hard to know why. "Well then we need to talk about something else them don't we? She says.

They continue the evening talking about different things. Both getting information from the other, not talking about all the things from Hogwarts or anything that she figured Harry would not like to talk about. They both were getting quite comfortable with eachother.
