Ch.9

The New Girl

A/N: I want to dedicate this chapter to my awesome friend ,Selene, who helped me through everything :) and who is way prettier than Harmony. Thank you so much, Selene!

You can see she's a beautiful girl


She's a beautiful girl


And everything around her is a silver pool of light


The people who surround her feel the benefit of it


She holds you captivated


Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember


What you heard


She likes to leave you hanging on her word

She was beautiful, there was no doubt. she wasn't being vain, she was only stating the obvious truth. Harmony examined herself in the mirror carefully and was satisfied. Her wavy black hair cascaded down to her waist and her vibrant dark blue eyes were framed by thick long black lashes. Her porcelain face was free of blemishes and seemed to glow. The black Hogwarts robes fit perfectly on her tall frame. After one last look at the mirror, Harmony turned to go.

"There's a new girl?" Lily asked Marcie are breakfast the next day. "But it's the middle of the school year. Who would transfer halfway through the year? And just in time for midterms too!"

"She's from Venezuela. Maybe they have different systems there," Marcie replied and then pouted. "She is so incredibly beautiful, Lils. I pale in comparison. Merlin, I wish I had never met her! then I could imagine that she was some horrible hag."

Lily laughed. Llooks aren't everything. Seriously, don't be so shallow. It's not like beauty can compensate for everything else."

"Really?" Marcie pointed to a figure in the distance. "Maybe you'll change your mind."

Lily turned, bewildered. Harmony walked down the hall, seemingly oblivious to everyone's stares. "oh," she said and then turned back to Marcie. "Okay, now I get what you meant. Wow. Is she for real?"

"I agree," Marcie replied bitterly. "I wonder if she's even human. She'd better stay away from Remus."

"I hope so," Lily looked worried. "She's so beautiful. She's bound to cause trouble.

"What did I tell you?" Sirius grinned at James during Charms. " Harmony really is something, eh?"

"What?" James looked distracted. "Yeah, sure, she's pretty."

"What is wrong with you?" Sirius said loudly, and Professor Flitwick gave them a curious glanced. Sirius lowered his voice and repeated his question. "What is wrong with you? You seem different lately, mate."

"Nothing it's just, Lily," James replied quietly. "she just won't go out with me."

Sirius gave a frustrated groan. "Look, just forget about that loser. If you want we can just excluded her from our bet, okay? I just want my old partner-in-crime back. We haven't pulled any pranks lately. We are seriously ruining our reputation."

"Yeah, about the bet," James started slowly.

Sirius's eyes widened. "No! don't even think about it Prongs."

James shrugged apologetically. "It was a silly idea anyways. I mean, it's not like I needed the dates. Maybe this bet is making me seem a little like a player."

Sirius laughed. "You are kidding, right? You were born a player! You can't change who you are. And besides you haven't even asked Harmony out yet."

"Who cares about Harmony?"

"Look, maybe what you need right now is a girl, " Sirius said thoughtfully. "And you have already dated all the datable girls in the world. So maybe, you should try Harmony."

James thought it over for a while. "Alright," he reluctantly agreed.

James sat alone at a table in the Three Broomsticks. He glanced at his watch and peered anxiously at the door. He needed to be out of here in an hour for Quidditch practice. The door opened and Harmony entered. Despite the snow falling outside, she wore a midnight blue dress that matched her brilliant sparkling eyes. Her long black hair was braided down her back and James admitted to himself that she was beautiful. She spotted him and waved.

"Hola!" Harmony gave him a beautiful smile and sat down.

"Hey," he handed her a butterbeer. "I hope you'll like this. I didn't know what to order."

"No, it's fine," she replied as she accepted the drink. " it looks muy sabrosa."

"So," James began awkwardly. "How was your day?"

X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Two hours later, Harmony was still talking animatedly, not noticing that James had slumped down in his seat and began yawning. James thought that she talked too much for his liking and wanted to leave. He already missed Quidditch practice and now he was going to be late for dinner.

"So then he told me 'no, senorita,we can't have that to you by miercoles' . but I needed it-"

"Excuse me," James interrupted her. "I am so sorry, but I need to get going. We are going to be late for dinner."

"Oh!" Harmony looked flustered. "Lo siento, I am so sorry. Um, can you excuse me for un momento? I need to use the restroom."

"Sure," James said and then noticed Lily and Remus walking through the door. "Moony! What are you doing here?"

"Hey," Remus smiled and walked over. " Lily and I were picking out Marcie's birthday present. How's your date going?"

"Date?" Lily repeated, an odd look on her face. "Oh, I am so sorry to be interrupting."

"No, I am so glad you did," James laughed, "She kept on talking and she wouldn't stop. Please sit." He gestured to the unoccupied chairs.

"She kept on talking?" Lily said, amused as she sat down next to him. "that must have been fun."

"Yeah," James leaned in closer. "And about the weirdest things too like for example, I heard something about penguins."

"Are you serious?" Lily laughed, forgetting about her hatred for him for a second. "Please, tell me more."

X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Harmony leaned against the wall, watching James talk with Lily, with a curious expression on her flawless face. They had been talking for half an hour. She thought he didn't want to miss dinner. Well, that date turned out to be a surprise. James seemed to be the only guy who didn't seem awestruck by her looks. And she decided that she like that. But there still was the annoying question about that pretty redhead. What should she do with her? Harmony turned away and walked towards the exit and into the streets. She always destroyed those who stood in her way and that redhead was no exception.
