Chapter 17 – Did You Kiss?
The next Hogsmeade trip was tomorrow, but today Larissa had Care of Magical Creatures first.
'Where are Ami and Cathy?' Larissa asked Emily just before they headed down.
'I think they've already gone down with Will and Matt.'
'Should we go down now then?'
'Sure.' They walked down to Care of Magical Creatures together, and were currently learning about Hippogriffs. Professor Grubbly-Plank had two Hippogriffs with her, their names were Sandy, and Nugget. They took it in turns to bow to, and stroke each Hippogriff.
'When's the Hogsmeade trip?' Catherine asked Larissa later when they were back in the common room.
'Tomorrow.' She replied
'We can do our Christmas shopping!' Amelia said, joining them.
'Hey, Harry!' She called over to her god brother who was sitting across the room with Ron and Hermione, he looked over to her.
'When's the next…' She trailed off, and went to whisper in his ear 'DA meeting?'
'Um, we could do one later, everyone's free on Fridays aren't they?'
'But we only had one yesterday!'
'I know, every one goes home for the holidays, next weekend. So we would have had to do it next Thursday or Friday anyway.'
'Oh, well yay then!' Harry surreptitiously took out his DA coin and changed the date and time. They saw, a few people's hands fly to their pockets but they knew better than to take the coins out in full view of everyone, (Colin Creevy had to give his brother Dennis a whack, so that he wouldn't take his out though).
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked out of the common room, and Larissa motioned to her friends to follow her. They were all soon inside the Room of Requirement, and setting things up. When everyone had arrived, Harry blew on his whistle and every one in the room fell silent.
'This is the last time we'll be meeting until we come back from the Holidays, so I thought there's not really much point in starting anything new, so we'll just go over what we have already done. Line up please.'
As he instructed, they all lined up. Hermione was first, and she said the spells.
'Expelliarmus.' Harry's wand flew out of his hand, she moved on to the next spell. 'Accio book.' Harry had placed a few items on the floor next to him, and a book flew to Hermione as he picked up his wand. 'Stupefy!' Harry froze, and landed on some cushions that had appeared behind him. 'Ennervate.' Harry woke up and smiled at her, 'Expecto Patronum,' A silvery otter danced from her wand, and ran around the room happily before vanishing.
It was Larissa's turn next, she was a little nervous about the offensive spells though. She pointed her wand at Harry, 'Expelliarmus!' she said, and Harry's wand tugged a little, before it removed itself from Harry's hand. It wasn't as good as when Hermione did it (Harry's wand flew from his hand) but Hermione was a fifth year, and Larissa was only a third. 'Accio bottle.' She said, and a water bottle came flying towards her, she caught it, and then put it down beside her. 'Stupefy!' She said, her voice didn't waver, although she wasn't sure that it would work, but Harry fell onto the cushions apparently unconscious. 'Ennervate,' she revived him. She concentrated on coming through the front door and then hugging her father for the first time in a year, after seeing him so broken in Azkaban, there being a smile on his face. 'Expecto Patronum,' she said and a misty silver tiger came from the tip of her wand, and ran playfully around the room.
After Harry had finished assessing every one's progress over the term, he started to talk again.
'Well done, all of you. You've done brilliantly, I couldn't be more proud.' Every one clapped him, and he clapped for them back.
'I'll see you when term starts again then, have a great Christmas if I don't see you again.' After every one had said good bye, Larissa saw Harry walking up to Cho, who was standing by the mirror. She smiled, and walked out of the DA room.
'Did you kiss?' Larissa asked as soon as Harry came back into the common room, grinning stupidly. Ron and Hermione sat up at once.
'Well?' Ron asked
'Erm, yeah.'
'How was it?' Ron seemed to want to get every detail
'Wet.' Harry replied, 'because she was crying.'
'That bad at it are you?'
'I'm sure Harry's kissing was more than satisfactory. Besides, Cho's always crying these days.'
'Think a bit of snogging would cheer her up wouldn't you?'
Larissa shook her head, smiling, and went up to bed.
