Ok so before you all get really mad at me for not posting this let me just tell you. Ive been stressing this week. I've been finishing my 20 hr performing arts exam and finishing my UCAS forms. But still here it is. Chapter 9. Hope you like it.

Chapter 9- Preparations for Movie Night.

The rest of Rory and Lorelai's first week at Hogwarts went by in relative peace. The girls managed to get acquainted with their new home and friends.

Lorelai's day consisted of a breakfast prepared by Luke and shared with Rory. Followed with classes in which she desperately tried to remember the names of the kids she was teaching. Her evenings were then filled with marking, Rory or Luke. And even she had to admit she liked having the latter around. Glad to have another adult muggle to converse with. Yet she still longed for the weekend, Friday's movie night and a Saturday all to herself.

Rory however was totally immersed with her classes. She loved to learn and Hogwarts was the perfect environment for that. She was also getting to know her new peers better too. She sat up late into the night in the Ravenclaw common room with Jess and Lane discussing music, literature and anything else they deemed important. One thing she didn't tell them about was the thing with Tristan…. she wanted to keep that to herself for a little while.

One person she had a rather bizarre friendship with, however was Hermione Granger. She found it odd to have a friend with who she had very few conversations with. They would normally just sit at a library table together to do their homework or just read in peace. Rory liked this though. It was like words weren't needed. She resolved to open Hermione up a little though by inviting her, Ron and Harry to the movie night extravaganza that her mum was planning.

Lorelai awoke on Friday morning to gentle but insistent tap on her bedroom window. Her first thought was 'what's knocking on my window? I'm on the third floor.' Then opening her eyes blearily she spotted the large tawny own carrying a rather large package. She rushed over to the window and let the bird in. She relieved it of it's rather heavy burden and let it back through the window. Taking the letter fron the top of the package she read,

Lorelai,

I managed to get the films you asked for, and I also threw in 'the ring' you cant beat a scary movie. Whish I was there with you….lots of love Sookie x x x.

Great Sookie had managed to get everything she needed to her. Dumbledore had fixed the VCR to work yesterday everything was ready for tonight. Except food, time for an emergency call at the kitchen before classes start. She scribbled a note to Rory telling her to get breakfast herself. Ran a brush over her already perfect hair and made her way to the kitchen… and Luke.

"Uncle Luke? Are you singing?"

"No, of course not!" Luke hadn't been aware of his nephews presence.

"Yes you were" Jess persisted.

"Well if you knew I was why'd you ask?"

"Because I've never heard you sing before. And I never want to. You suck!"

Jess grabbed a slice of toast of the counter and walked towards the door. As he opened the door her revealed Lorelai standing right outside.

"I just put 2 and 2 together Uncle Luke" Jess quipped as he walked out.

"Yeah and you came up with five" Luke yelled at Jess's retreating form.

"What was all that about?" Lorelai asked

"Oh nothing. What can I do for you?"

"Well that's a serious question. Will you do anything?"

"Whithin reason." Luke replied

"Me and Rory planned a movie night tonight, well actually I planned it. But I was wondering if maybe you'd like to come?"

"Sure" Luke smiled.

"Great. You can provide us with food. Lots of unnecessary fat and sugar required." She walked out of the room before he could say another word. Grabbing a plate of pancakes on her way out.

Luke rolled his eyes and smiled wider.

Rory got to her mum's room and read the note she'd left. 'great' she thought 'now I'm left to eat breakfast myself.' Walking out of the room she bumped into someone she'd been avoiding.

"Hi" those blue eyes were twinkling at her again.

"Hello Tristan"

"You've not forgot about our arrangement for tomorrow have you?"

"Of course not."

"Good. I promise you'll not regret this." And with that he walked away. Rory may be delusional but did he just sound … Honest?

She hadn't told anybody about her plans for tomorrow. Knowing everyone would try and talk her out of it. But he'd promised he'd leave her alone if she didn't like him after one day. And she wanted some peace this year.

"So are you guys ready for tonight?"

"Sure" Hermione really was pleased about this movie thing Rory had planned. She never got to do any muggle things when she was at Hogwarts and figured it would be fun.

"Yeah, what are we doing again?" Ron asked confusion marking his face.

"Hermione, you explain. I'm tierd of it" Harry said.

"See you guys later" Rory said and headed over to the Ravenclaw table, where Jess and Lane were sitting. They were invited along too.

Lorelai was loosing it. Her last class of the day and they were driving her crazy. Time to take Luke's advice, she though to herself.

"RIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!" she yelled getting the attention of the fourth years. "I did not want to have to play bad cop with you but unfortunately I have to. I am your teacher. That title earns me your respect weather you give it willingly or not. I am here to teach and you to learn. That is what you are going to do. Any one who doesn't follow this logic will earn themselves a detention with Mr Doose. Understood?"

The entire class looked dumbfounded.

"Great then turn to page two hundred and eight and I'll explain the process of muggle schooling."

Rory couldn't believe it. The end of her first official week as a Hogwarts student. And as the bell went at the end of Transfiguration she couldn't help herself but to give a little cheer. It earned her a few weird looks, but they were easily ignored. On to movie night.
