Chapter 3:

Disclaimer: I own nothing it is all J.K Rowlings I have only come up with a storyline for her characters.

Harry woke up late the next morning so he got dressed speedily and ran down to the common room to find Hermione and Ron yelling.

"It's a good idea Ronald, not everyone is like you and doesn't read," yelled hermione at the top of her voice.

"It is stupid, and same goes for you not everyone is an uptight know-it-all who reads every second they can" came Ron's bellowed reply

" Is that what you think I am, an uptight know- it all?" said hermione obviously hurt bye his comment. And she stormed off.

Ron just sat down in an armchair huffily refusing to talk to anyone. When Harry told him he was going down to breakfast he just looked the other way and ignored him completely. If that's what the rest of the year is going to be like I going to have a load of trouble thought Harry to himself. When Harry got down to the Great Hall he spotted Luke, so he waved and smiled but Luke gestured for Harry to go over to the Ravenclaw table. When he reached the Ravenclaw table Luke said:

"Hey Harry, this is Kate Silvia" said Luke gesturing towards the green-eyed girl with brown hair sitting next to him.

"Hi Kate nice to meet you, I'm Harry" said Harry

"Hey Harry, awesome to meet you, I think you have met my brother, Brodee" replied Kate

"Um yes briefly, you sound American did you come from America?" asked Harry

"Yeh we recently moved here to England! Is it that obvious?" said Kate

"Kind of (chuckles), I have always wanted to go to America sounds cool" answered Harry

"Yeh it is pretty awesome, I'm only just getting used to it here in England, It is so quiet compared to New York!" said Kate

"I bet it is! (Laughs). Well better go because I need to get my books and stuff for class" said Harry before walking away.

Harry was in a daze; she was beautiful, kind and sounded extremely awesome. There is only one-way to put it Kate Silvia is HOT! He thought as he walked up to the common room completely forgetting to eat breakfast. When he got there Hermione and Ron were sitting at opposite ends of the room looking the other way not talking to anyone.

"Hermione, Ron we need to get to care of magical creatures we are already 2 minutes late" yelled Harry to his to stubborn friends.

"Late, no I cant be late, oh Ronald this is your entire fault" hissed Hermione. Then she walked off muttering "late, you have o be kidding me, I going to get detention, then I will be expelled, then my parens will hate me and I will end up working in burger king all my life"

Then Harry and Ron rushed off after her so they too wouldn't be put in detention. When they reached the class the professor "Hagrid" told them off for being late but didn't give them detention. During their lesson Ron and Hermione wee silent so Harry had to manage on his own. At the end Ron seemed to cheer up a bit so Harry decided to tell him about Kate. When he had finished telling Ron about their conversation and how beautiful and hot she was he seemed to be in a much better mood and was determined on meeting her.

The next lesson they had was Defence Against the Dark arts then lunch during lunch Harry tied to point Kate out to Ron but he couldn't see her. Then Harry and Ron went over to see Ben. Harry was just about to tell him about her when Ben said:

"Have you met my bro's new friend? Kate is her name," said Ben

"Yes I have actually I was just about to ask you the same thing (chuckles)" replied Harry

"She is a hell of a looker hey? Really pretty and is good to talk to as-well!" said Ben

"Yeh she is" said Harry with a dazed expression on his face.

"Will you two snap out of it please" came an annoyed Hermione

"Its jus a girl and anyway neither of you have a chance" she said

"How do you know?" asked Harry rather annoyed at her assumptions

"Because unlike you I took action an spent the whole lunchtime with her, we are what you could call friends" announced Hermione

" And what has that got to do with us not having chance?" said Ben annoyed

"BECAUSE SHE IS WAY TO CLEVER TO FALL FOR YOUR SILLY CHARM AND REMARKS!" and with that she stormed off.

The next lesson they had was Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws. Harry an on sat with Luke whilst Hermione sat with Kate. The while lesson Harry and Ben weren't listening at all they were jus sitting there gawking at Kate.

So much that she actually asked Hermione "Do I have something on my face, or something like that because Ben and Harry haven't stopped staring at me all lesson?"

"No, no you don't the boys are just stupid they are gawking over you because they think your hot that's all" reassured Hermione

"Who is that red haired boy sitting next to Harry? I haven't seen him around before" asked Kate

"Oh, that's Ron" replying Hermione inside hoping that Kate didn't like him because she thought Kate was a lot pettier than her and would get Ron for sure when really Hermione liked him.

" He looks nice, you should date him mione," said Kate mischievously

"What have you got planned?" asked Hermione genuinely worried that was the same grin Harry got when he was up to something

"You will see, lets just say Ron wont be able to resist you by tomorrow" and with that both girls sat absorbed in there own thoughts.

That evening

"Hermione you look, awesome," said Kate

"I don't know, I don't feel comfortable," said Hermione

"Nonsense you look great, now lets go show Ron what he is missing" replied Kate

Kate had let Hermione borrow a pair of short shorts and a blue tee shirt. She had done her make-up, which consisted of: foundation, eyeliner, waterproof mascara and lip-gloss. She had also straightened Hermione's hair. When the two girls exited for dinner lavender and Pavarti rushed over making a fuss of how different she looked and that she should straighten her hair more.

At dinner Hermione sat in-between Ron and Harry. Usually Ron and Harry would sit together and Hermione would either sit across form them or next to Harry but today Harry was to dazed over watching Kate to bother and Ron seemed to me goggling over Hermione's makeover.

"Err Ron are you ok?" asked Hermione

"Oh…um yeah sorry just wondered off there for a minute" replied Ron all the time still goggling at Hermione.

"Ok… I'm sorry for yelling at you today" said Hermione

At this Harry finally seemed to snap out of his trance what the heck did Hermione just apologise to… Ron…Oh my god what is happening to the world… Hermione and Ron never apologise to each other… have I missed something because Hermione seems to have straight hair and make-up on… and is that short shorts she is wearing… my god… she finally cracked. He thought

"Thanks, I'm really sorry for calling you an uptight know-it-all, its just well you are really clever and…" Then he just mumbled so she couldn't hear him Then went bright red.

The trio finished there inner nad went up to the common room where Hermione finished Ron's potions essay for him (now they were back on good terms) whilst harry and ron played wizard chess. Harry lost of course as he always did Ron was just too good for him.

"This isn't fair you have had years and years of practise" said Harry annoyed

"You could have to its not my fault you didn't play chess with your dad" said Ron defensively

"My dad hates chess" admitted Harry " I had no chance from the very beginning"

"Will you two shut-up… I don't want another fight over something as silly as wizards chess" shouted Hermione the boys were both silent

"Hermione… what was it you and Ron were fighting over this morning?" asked Harry

"Oh that…well I'm going to start a school newspaper!" replied Hermione
