Hogwarts 101
Heather watched with a sad smile while Nora sat beside her at the Slytherin table in the great hall talking about who she was going with.
It had took a while but all of the Slytherin (Draco not included) came to like Nora, and didn't seem to mind her sitting with them. They had even accepted Luke to a point.
"Hey Nora, can you do me a favor and stop talking about your date…I'm really happy for you but…it's kind of a bummer." Heather asked with a sigh.
"Sorry Heath, I still can't believe you don't have a date yet." Nora told her sympathetically. It was really becoming a problem she still didn't have a date, and it was 2 days till the Yule ball.
Luke looked away from the book he was reading (Hogwarts a history) in surprise. "You don't have a date?"
Heather glared at him, and then released a sigh. "Yes I do not have a date."
Some unknown Slytherin girl snorted at this.
Heather just sent a sharp glare her way.
Out of nowhere Midnight jumped onto Heathers lap, and bean to paw at her urgently.
Heather frowned at the little fire cat. "Midnight? I thought you were spying on Diggory?"
Midnight just continued to paw at her.
Heather looked up at her friends eyes slightly widened. "I think she found something! Is the spy stuff still in the Slytherin common room?"
Nora nodded franticly.
Both of them practically jumped up from there seats. "Let's go!" Heather shouted excitedly.
Just before Nora was able to leave, Luke grabbed her arm.
"I need to talk to you." He hissed quietly.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to Heather who was waiting impatiently. "I will catch up with you."
Heather nodded in understanding and headed to the Slytherin dorm.
Nora glared at look, as he dragged her into an empty hallway. "Can you tell me now what you want?" She growled clearly annoyed.
"I need your help." Luke told her.
Nora just stared at Bookie.
He sighed. "I, I…want, I want…"
"Just spit it out already!" Nora hissed.
"I want to ask Heather out!" He blurted. Luke looked down nervously. "And I…need your help."
There was a long pause. Nora ran her hand threw her hair. "Why do I have a sense of Romeo and Juliet going threw my head." She muttered she gave him a strange look. "You want to ask Heather to the ball. You…a life student…ask a Death student…"
"Yes."
A gigantic smile suddenly appeared on Nora's face. "This is perfect!"
Luke looked at her in shock. "What?"
"It's so romantic, it's so…perfect!" Nora let out a load giggle.
Luke gave her an, are you insane look. "So you will help me right?"
"Of course I am!" Nora grabbed his arm. "Come on let's go!"
(Meanwhile in the Gryffindor common room)
Harry and his friends sat around the fire place. He had just asked Cho out, but she had already said yes to Cedric.
"What am I suppose to do." Harry groaned. "Professor McGonagall say's the champions have to do lead in a dance. I don't have a date let alone know how to dance."
Ron nodded in agreement. "By now all the good girls have date…even Hermione and Ginny have one."
Hermione gave Ron a death glare, and then turned to Harry. "Heather ShadowBlood I hear doesn't have a date yet."
Ron snorted. "The cute little Necromancer,"
She glared at him again. "I've talked to her friend Luke and Nora; they say she's pretty nice. And she did seem ok, the few times we talked to her."
Harry nodded. "It's worth a shot thanks Hermione."
Ron frowned. "So you're seriously going ask out a little girl…who can raise the dead. Are you insane?"
Finally fed up with Ronald, Hermione slapped him across the back of the head with a book, and marched off.
He gave Harry a confused/hurt look. "What did I say?"
Heather dug in her trunk, flinging clothes and other things to the side, till she found the spy gear.
She smirked at Midnight who was killing one of her old Chicago cubs t-shirts she got before she found out she was a wizard. "Come here Midnight I need to see your collar."
Midnight pranced over to Heather dragging the shirt all the way.
Giving Midnight a friendly pet, Heather took off her collar.
"Know let's see what Cedric has to say." Heather hit the play button on the record. For like 5 minutes there was just a bunch off goo-goo talk between Cedric and some girl named Cho. Finally it hit something interesting.
"I think I should tell Harry about the secret of the golden egg." The muffled recorded voice of Cedric said.
Heather's eyes widened with excitement.
"What did it say?" Who she suppose Cho asked.
Heather frowned, and glanced at the egg that was sitting on her nightstand. "It says something...not just screams?"
"It said something about something being token from us, and we have to find it. I know I need to be able to breath underwater and I still haven't figured that out." Cedric told her. "And I…Hey is that Heather's cat?"
Heather turned the recording off, and gave Midnight a loving smile. "You are brilliant Midnight you really are!"
Midnight purred, and continued to kill her shirt.
"Come on we need to find Nora." Heather said, picking up the cat.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief as he finally found Heather, on the third floor. She was talking to her friends Luke and Nora as usual.
"Hey Heather!" Harry called, as run towards her.
Heather turned to him, her golden eyes wide with surprise. "Is there something wrong Harry?" Heather asked nervously.
He smiled at her, trying to summon some confidence. "I was wondering…would you like to go with me to the ball."
Luke and Nora seemed to pale at this, and turned to Heather, who looked completely surprised.
