Riyuki is back...again..okay, here's the 4th of 'a new type of friendship'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So...did you hear that the first game of the season is between Gryffindor and Slytherin?" Wood asked trying to spark the conversation. Lisa nodded. "What of it?" "Just that..we'll be playing against eachother." he said stopping her. She looked at him. "What's up with you Oliver?"

"It's nothing.." he said letting her pass to the Potions room.

"What's gotten into him lately..? This isn't like him.." she thought as she sat at her usual spot. Lisa pulled out her potions essay as Snape walked in. Tina sat by her and looked over at her, "Did you finish the essay?" Lisa nodded.

"Good afternoon..we will be brewing a potion known as the Shrinking solution. You will have 20 minutes to brew it, then I want you to write down, in your own words, how you brewed it. And, what you used it on." Snape said and went to his desk.

Lisa sighed and pulled on her goggles. She already knew what she was going to shrink, she'd try something simple. A galleon or 2. Before she could start, a paper crane flew over to her. Lisa clenched it in her hand and opened it,

'Lisa are you angry with me or something? I just want to know.'

She looked at it and turned behind her, seeing Wood looking at her.

'No Oliver..I'm not.'

Lisa charmed it and got back to work. "Okay, let's see..one caterpillar, three daisy roots.." she added them in and saw Snape walking around. "Keep going.." he said looking at Lisa. She nodded and mumbled, "one-half cup of leech juice and some rat spleen...and" Lisa looked at her Abyssian Shrivelfig. "And some skinned Abyssinian Shrivelfig." she mumbled and put it in.

After a few minutes, the potion became a bright green. "Good, I did it right.." she thought and took out an eyedropper. She put a few drops on her galleon and a few on her muggle watch. They started to shrink and Snape was walking back to his desk when he saw this. He walked over to Lisa. "Very good Miss Kero, now start on the essay."

Lisa nodded as he left. Snape had to be one of her favorite teachers. Though most people hated him, Lisa thought Snape was an excellent teacher. She started on the essay.

After potions, she went to the Great Hall for lunch. Tina looked over at Lisa, "you want someone to talk to?" Lisa shook her head. "I'm fine.." "Lisa! I haven't gotten to talk to you all year!" A girl with blonde hair said while giving her a small hug. "Hiya Katie.."

Katie Bell, she is Chaser on the Gryffindor team, and has been since first year. Katie was always there for Lisa whether she liked it or not. "Hey, I heard from Wood that your co-captain now eh? Congrats." "Thanks..I guess.." "Isn't it hard being the only girl on the team?" Katie asked seeing the quidditch team furthur down.

"Not really..I keep them in line." Lisa said looking down too. "Well, our first match is this afternoon..good luck." Katie said holding out her hand. "Same to you." Lisa said showing a smile. "Ya know," Katie started getting up. "You should smile more often, I bet Oliver would like that.." she said with a wink and left.

Lisa stared at her as she left. "Is she crazy!" she thought. She shook her head and headed for the Slytherin quiddicth locker room. Lisa pulled on her robe and started on her shoes, listening to Flint's speech. "We can beat Gryffindor today, I know it. Wood and the others don't stand a chance. Kero?" Lisa looked over.

"What is it?" "You had best be on your guard today. I've overheard that they have a good strategy to get the quaffel past you." "Don't worry..I won't let any of you down.." Flint walked over to her and looked her in the eye. "You had best not.."

Lisa sighed still listening. They all went torwards the pitch entrance and got ready.

"And here are the two teams! Gryffindor.." Lee Jordan yelled. A huge amount of cheers came from the Gryffindors. "Dispicable.." Flint muttered.

"And..Slytherin!" Lee finished as they flew out. "Good luck Lisa." Fred and George said together. "Thanks guys." she replied excitedly. She and the twins had gotten along for ages. They only see good in her and when she misbehaves, they discipline her in someway.
