Disclaimer is at the beginning of the first Chapter. Thank you for that one whole review. I really would love to have people tell me what they think. It would help a lot. Thx.

……………Story Time…………….

The sky was almost clear, with some clouds drifting across the blue background. Harry was laying on the grass in the park, trying to distinguish the shapes of the clouds. Harry looked over at his friend, who he had met just a few days back, thinking of when they first met.

………Flashback……

As soon as Harry knocked on the door he heard shouting coming from the inside. After a minute or so the door opened. There standing in the doorframe was a girl who looked around 16 or 17.

"Hey" she said.

"Um, hi my names Harry. I live across the street and I was wondering if you needed any help unpacking?" Harry asked.

"Well Harry, my name is Ava. I think we're pretty much done unloading, but I don't know much about the town. Would you mind showing me around instead?" Ava stated.

Harry thought about it for a second and then agreed telling her to follow him.

... End of Flashback …….

The last couple of days Harry and Ava got to know each other a lot better. Yesterday when they were talking in Ava's backyard they found something about each other that would effect the beginning of their friendship if it went wrong.

………Flashback……

Harry and Ava were sitting in Ava's room talking about where Ava moved from.

"I grew up in Milan, Italy. When I turned 10 I moved to a boarding school about an hour away, and I was there most of the year until I moved here." Ava explained.

"Really! I go to a boarding school too. If I had to spend the whole year in that house with my relatives I would have run away years ago" Harry exaggerated.

Ava laughed. "You really don't like your aunt and uncle do you."

"Not at all" Harry sighed.

Harry began looking around Ava's room. It seemed pretty ordinary, some boxes on the floor from the move but other than that the desk was organized and the bed was made. Harry looked over at the desk. It looked like there was a newspaper on the desk. Harry asked Ava if he could read it to see what was happening.

"Go for it Harry, I didn't even know I had a paper up here" while she was looking through her bookshelf.

"What's on the front page… Harry?" She turned around to see movement on the paper. Crap.

"Harry I can explain." Ava said as she saw he was looking at The Daily Prophet newspaper. The one her mother gave her to read about the war.

"You're a witch?" Harry whispered in shock.

Ava's eyes grew wide. "How do you know?"

"I'm a wizard. The boarding school I go to is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Harry explained, still confused about what just happened.

... End of Flashback …….

Ever since he found out that Ava was a witch he was even more glad he met her. Ava told him about what they learnt at her old school like Latin and skwudlput, a magical game of soccer with modified rules.

Harry told her about his adventures in Hogwarts since his first year. She was very surprised to find out he had faced Voldemort all of those times.

After all the talk about school, Harry felt the need to explain to Ava about the situation with his parents and how he ended up with his relatives. Ava was supportive towards him, even when he told her about last June in the Department of Mysteries.

The sky was starting to get dark. Harry stood up followed by Ava. They started walking back to Ava's house since Harry had started going to their house for dinner every night. At first Harry didn't accept but after Ava told her mother about his relatives she insisted that Harry stay over as much as possible.

Ava's mother, Juilie and father, David were both wizards. Harry learnt that they went to school at Hogwarts when they were kids but moved to Italy when they had Ava to keep her away from the war.

Ava's mother and father were amazing. They let him stay over as long as he wanted to and said he could stay in the guest bedroom anytime he didn't want to go back to his relatives.

Tonight after dinner Ava and Harry decided to go to the movies. They got there and Ava wanted to go to an action movie which was quite alright with his as long as it wasn't a chick flick.

By the time the movie was finished it was midnight so they headed straight home. About 5 minutes away from their house Ava stopped in the middle of the road.

"What?" Harry asked looking around, seeing no one.

"I heard some thing. It sounded like someone just aparated." Ava whispered back.

Harry suddenly got a bad feeling. Like someone was watching them. Harry didn't want to take any chances.

"Take out your wand Ava, and be prepared to fight." Harry whispered back.

A twig snapped behind them and they whirled around to face their follower.

A/N So there is another chapter. Sorry I took a long, but I was trying to make it good enough to put on paper.

Skwudlput is a sport I made up, and later on in the story I will tell you how you play. That is all for now.
