Colin's POV

Alright, I'm about a month into the school year and everything's going pretty well. I'm average in class, funny with the ladies, and always getting on Dad's nerves. We never really got past me "making a fuss". But hey, he gives everyone points now. That's pretty cool.

Everyone's pretty much used to me and my, erm, tendencies. Heck, I've even got a couple admirers. Can't blame them. I AM adorable after all.

So Hogwarts has been treating me well. Until today.

I went downstairs to find everyone circled around a billboard.

"Hey, Harry! What's going on?" I ask.

"A Hogsmeade weekend!" He replies, clearly excited.

"Oh.. Great! Yeah, can't wait!"

I'm not supposed to go. Dad grounded me from those my first day.

Key word being "supposed".

Because I am going! I don't know how, but I will get there.

"Hey, Colin, whatcha so serious about?"

"Ginevra! My angel, my goddess, my-"

"What do you want?" She eyes me suspiciously.

"Promise you won't tell?" I look around to make sure no one's listening. She rolls her eyes.

"Okay, so my Dad kind of grounded me from Hogsmeade weekends until next year which is like forever away. And I want to go to Hogsmeade. And I don't know how I'm gonna get there without my Dad seeing me because if I know him, he'll help Mr. Filch with making sure the third years have their forms signed. And during that, he will be looking for me in the crowd of retreating students."

"Why was the fact that you're grounded so secret?" She asks.

"Ginevra! Shhhh! I need to appear very macho and sexy to the public and being grounded isn't macho or sexy." It's the truth you know. .

"Colin, you lost any macho-ness when you almost got lost in the Forbidden Forest trying to follow a rabbit." I feel my face flush.

"It was one time, I learned my lesson, let it go!" I reply. It wasn't even that much of a big deal. And the bunny was a manly one, such as myself, so I followed it. We had a grand old time really! But it took me a while to find my way back to the castle is all..

"Well, anyhow, I know how you can get to Hogsmeade. Let's go talk to Harry." And she's heading for the Boy's staircase.

"Woah, woah, woah! You can't go up there, Gin!" I say to her as I catch up.

"Yes, I can."

"Won't it turn into a slide?"

"Nope." And she walks up the stairs. Just like that. No slide, no nothing.

"Unfair!" I call up after her, but follow anyways.

"Hiya Harry." She says.

"Hello-"

"Hiya Harry." I say.

"Hello-"

"We need your help." Ginny says straightforwardly.

"Well, what-"

"I need to get to Hogsmeade without being seen by my Dad." I explain.

"Alright, but what does that have-"

"Harry, the cloak!" Ginny says exasperatedly.

"Alright, I get-"

"What cloak?" I ask.

"WILL YOU LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCES?" Harry shouts.

"Oh.. Sorry, our bad." I say.

"Thank you." He says.

"Now," Harry continues, "I have an invisibility cloak you can use."

"And the ma-" Ginny starts, but He shoots her a look as if to tell her to keep her mouth shut. Huh, I wonder what that's about.

"Sounds great!" I agree quickly.

"See you this weekend then." And he winks… Hey, that's my thing…

O0oO0oO0oO0oO0oO

"You know, when Ginny said you wanted absolutely no way of being detected, I didn't think this is what you meant." Harry says.

"Listen, I'm not too thrilled about this either, kid. I may not be able to get past this emotionally." I reply.

It was Ginny's bright idea that there was no possible way for My Dad to catch on that I was sneaking out. So. She suggested that I get a piggy back ride from someone. Namely from a someone named Harry. I don't see how this makes me less detectable. Damn that woman and her sick fantasies. Joke's on her though, I'm invisible.

"Shush you two!" Hermione snaps. She wasn't very happy about me sneaking out. She likes to follow the rules, so that was to be expected.

"Hermione, calm down. You were find when Harry snuck out!" Ron argues. Ever since I got Hermione those points, he's been like the secret service. Someone's giving me a problem? Ron handles it. I need help with a homework assignment? Ron gets the smartest kid in school to help me. If I wanted some odd "American dish" for dinner, he gets a house elf to bring it up to me later that night. Heck, he even saves a seat for me in DADA and when people try to take it, I feel sorry for them. If this is what it feels like to be famous, then dammit, sign me up.

"Hmph."

"So… How long until I can get off of lovely bachelor number one?" I ask. My pants are falling down.

"I think just up that road is fine." Ginny says.

And we keep walking. Longest. Damn. Hundred. Feet. Ever.

"Oh my god, thank goodness." I jump off of Harry as fast as I can.

"Was it that bad?" Ginny asks.

"No, but my pants were falling down. Very uncomfortable." I explain. And we resume walking.

"How much longer?" I ask.

"Colin, be patient." Hermione says. Still snappy, I see. So we keep walking. Actually, we keep walking until I get kind of tired.. Hmmm..

"Hmph… Hey, Harry?"

"No, Colin, I will not let you ride on my back again." He replies without even looking my way.

"Damn."

And this is a long freaking walk. It's boring as hell. Everyone's quiet.

But then I see the buildings. And I suck in my breath.

"Wow."

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Ginny says.

"No, I see a chick changing by her window!" SMACK! Both sides of my face. Hermione and Ginny.

"Ow! I was joking! Really!" Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow owwwww. They smack hard! And I really was kidding. Everyone needs to hear a dirty joke now and then. Lightens the mood.

"Not the smartest move there, mate." Ron chuckles.

"Well I'm very aware of that now! And so is my beautiful face! I work hard on this!" I gesture to my face and hair and well, the rest of me.

"I'm sure you do." Ron replied sarcastically. Bastard. I stick out my tongue.

"Well, this is Hogsmeade!" Harry announces.

This is gonna be fantastic.

A/N- I'm sorry for the shortness of the chapter! I was going to include the actual visit, but I'm thinking about making it a different chapter entirely, or just skimming over it. Did you like it? I hope so. Again, sorry for the late update. I started school again, boo hoo! Please review and thanks for reading!
