A/N: I only own Danielle. Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling and Charmed belongs to Aaron Spelling.

Chapter 3

"Hi, Danielle," Harry greeted as he sat down in the chair next to her and Ron in the one next to him. The common room was empty now that everyone was at breakfast.

"Hi," she said smiling.

"Aren't you going to breakfast?" Harry asked.

"Nope. Not hungry," Danielle replied.

Harry glared at Ron when Danielle wasn't looking.

Ron cleared his throat and asked, "Are you going to Hogsmeade today?"

"I don't know. Hermione's going to be with Seamus. I'll probably just stay here," Danielle explained.

"You can come with us if you want!" Ron said.

"Nah...I don't want to bother you guys," Danielle smiled.

"No really. We'll show you around Hogsmeade. You'll love it! And it beats sitting up here all day," Harry stated.

"Ok. Let me go grab my coat," Danielle said and headed upstairs.

"See! How hard was that," Harry stated looking at Ron.

Before Ron could answer Danielle had returned, coat in hand. As they walked to Hogsmeade, Harry explained everything about Hogsmeade.

"This place is awesome!" Danielle exclaimed.

"C'mon. Let's head to the Three Broomsticks. You have to have butterbeer when you're here. It's a must!" Harry explained.

"Butterbeer?" Danielle questioned.

"Ya. It's the best drink around!" Ron stated. They sat down at a table and ordered a round of butterbeers.

"That was so much fun," Danielle said as they entered the common room. "Thanks."

"No problem. That's what friends are for," Harry said smiling at her.

The rest of the night they sat around the common room having discussion on everything from The Weasley Wheezes to Quidditch.

"Quidditch?" Danielle questioned.

"You've never heard of quidditch?" Ron asked.

"No. What is it?" Danielle asked.

"There are six players on each team. Three have to try to score goals, one person stops them from doing that, two people try to knock anyone they can off their brooms, and one person has to find the snitch," Harry explained.

"Snitch?" Danielle asked.

"Ya. It's this tiny golden ball that flies around and since I'm the seeker, I have to find it. When I do, we get 150 points and the game ends," Harry said.

"You should come to one of our practices some time," Ron suggested.

"Sure!" Danielle said.

"Great! We have practice next weekend," Harry stated.

"All right. I'll be there," Danielle accepted as Hermione entered through the portrait hole followed by Seamus.

"Hello," Hermione greeted as Seamus continued to the boy's dormitory. "Have fun at Hogsmeade?"

"Yeah! It was loads of fun. We showed Danielle around," Harry explained. "You?"

"Yeah. Me and Seamus had fun," Hermione answered. "I'm turning in. I'll see you all tomorrow."

"Me, too," Danielle said standing up.

"Night," Harry and Ron said in union as the girls headed up the stair to their dormitory.

The next week dragged slowly by. Piper continued to cause fits of laughter. Harry and Ron agreed she was the best teacher since Lupin. Hermione on the other hand thought she was just a laugh and that she didn't know what she was teaching them. Soon it was Saturday and Danielle awoke to the should of Hermione rummaging through her trunk.

"Good morning!" she greeted cheerily before disappearing into the bathroom.

"Morning," Danielle mumbled as she got out of bed and dug through her trunk to find clothes.

"What are you doing today?" Hermione asked emerging from the bathroom dressed.

"Harry and Ron invited me to watch their Quidditch practice," Danielle explained sitting on the edge of her four poster bed.

"I'm hanging out with Seamus. I was going to invite you to come along, but you already have plans," Hermione said as she headed to the door.

"Thanks anyway," Danielle sighed. "Beside I wouldn't want to intrude on you and your boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend," Hermione started. "Yet!"

"See ya," Danielle said and disappeared into the bathroom.

"Hey 'Mione. Have you seen Danielle?" Harry asked looking around from his arm chair.

"Yes," Hermione answered. "She's getting dressed. Why?"

"Nothing. She was just going to watch our practice," Harry explained.

"She'll be down," Hermione said disappeared through the portrait hole.

Just then Danielle came down the stairs and plopped into the armchair next to Harry.

"Morning," she said cheerfully.

"Morning," he replied. "We just have to wait for Ron. He's getting dress."

Five minutes later Ron came down from the boy's dormitory and they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Once they were done, they headed down to the Quidditch pitch. Danielle took a seat in the stands as Harry greeted the rest of the team. Harry suggested a warm up by tossing around the quaffle. Ron dropped the quaffle multiple times and almost fell off his broom once. He looked over at Danielle and saw her trying to hold back her laughter. Just then the quaffle came flying at Ron and hit him in the side of the head. He fell of his broom and landed face down in the grass.

"Nice one Katie!" Ginny called from the other side of the pitch as everyone flew down to see how Ron was.

He looked up from his spot in the grass and noticed everyone walking toward him including Danielle. He sighed and laid back down in the grass.

"Ron?" Harry asked when he reached him. "You ok?"

"Yeah," Ron mumbled sitting up trying to avoid Danielle's eyes. He already had a huge bruise forming on the side of his face where Katie had hit him with the quaffle.

"You should have Madame Pomfrey take a look at that. You don't want to be walking around with half your face swollen up," Harry suggested helping his friend up. 'Danielle. Can you take him?"

"Sure," Danielle said stepping forward and her and Ron headed off to the castle. Ron turned around and shot Harry a glare.

"Hey Harry! How was practice?" Hermione asked sitting down in the chair next to him.

"Great," Harry replied.

"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked looking around.

"Danielle took him to the Hospital wing," Harry stated. "He wasn't paying attention so Katie whipped the Quaffle at his head. The side of his face was all swollen."

"Danielle," Hermione sighed.

"Yes. Danielle. You know tall with brown hair and brown eyes. She sleeps in your dormitory," Harry said sarcastically.

"I know who she is. It's just you've been hanging out with her a lot. Its either that or you're talking about her!" Hermione said fuming.

"So..."Harry said. "She my friend."

"I think you want her to be more than that!" Hermione stated.

"What! Danielle! No 'Mione! She's my friend," Harry exclaimed. "Beside someone likes her. And I happen to have my eye on someone else."

"Who would that be?" Hermione asked.

"Who would who be?" Harry asked.

"Both. Who do you like and who likes her?" Hermione questioned.

"I...I," Harry stammered but stopped when a group of girls entered the common room, Ginny in the middle.

"Oh," Hermione said with a grin. "And who likes Danielle?"

Just then Danielle and Ron entered the common room laughing about something. Harry dropped his gaze back down to the book in his hands.

"No way!" Hermione whispered. "Ron!"

"Shut up," Harry mumbled as Danielle and Ron walked over to them.

"Hi Ron," Hermione answered. "I see Madame Pomfrey fixed you eye."

"Yeah," Ron said smiling.

Just then Ginny came over to Danielle and handed her a slip of parchment, "This came for you while you were out."

"Thanks Ginny," Danielle said as she quickly read the note and headed for the portrait hole. "I'll see you later!"

"Where you going?" Hermione asked but Danielle had already disappeared out the portrait hole. "Where do you think she's going?"

"No clue," Harry and Ron shrugged.
