Chapter 3
Harry looked out the window at the rain that was pouring down outside. He watched the little drops of water on the over hanging ledge drop down one by one closely. Each letting out a little dink noise as they crashed upon the bricks.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked, coming up behind him noiselessly.
Harry jumped a foot in the air, "Dear GOD! Hermione don't do that!" Harry said putting a hand over his heart, "I could've blasted you to pieces!" he said, his fingers relaxing from the tight grip he had on his wand.
Hermione made a face, "Sure you could've." she said, walking up and sitting down beside him on the window seat.
Harry grinned at her and turned back to the rain, "Don't you just love the rain?" he asked.
Hermione raised an eyebrow, "Sure I do. But I mean it's not very practical...you've got a Qudditch match in ten minutes...I doubt the rain will help."
Harry sighed, "I know...and it's against Ravenclaw too...that chick what's her name?" Harry asked thinking.
"Chick?" Hermione growled.
"Um..yeah you know the one...Emma..something...Jefferson?" Harry said, not noticing her tone.
"Harry Potter!" she exclaimed.
"What?" Harry asked confused.
"You..oh forget it." Hermione said shaking her head, "You're too Harry to get mad at you."
Harry gave her a lobsided smile. Hermione laughed at his expression.
"Come on. You need to get down to the locker rooms." Hermione said holding her hand out to him.
Harry uncurled his legs from under himself and took her hand, pulling himself up.
He gave her a warm smile and, putting one arm around her shoulders, said, "Come on then. You can escourt me."
"Escourt you?" Hermione asked, fake shocked, "Well I never believed I'D ever escourt THE Harry Potter! And to a Qudditch match no less!"
They laughed as they made their way down the nearly empty corridor towards the locker room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So Harry. You think we can win?" Ron asked as he changed into his Gryffindor robes.
Harry grinned, "For sure."
Ron had tried out for keeper the year before and had easily gotten the place being much better than the opposition, much to Harry's happiness.
Harry looked around the locker room at the other boys, all of whom were finishing doing up their shoes and getting the broomsticks ready.
"Alright everyone outside for a pep talk." he said, pointing to the door and walking out it.
Ginny was already there as was Aleisha Timberscale, the other girl on the team. Both of whom were chasers.
"And they say girls take ages to get ready!" Ginny teased.
Harry laughed and flashed her a grin, as if on cue the other boys walked through the doors talking and laughing.
"Okay team! We're up against Ravenclaw, and you know they've gotten quite good over the past year. But we can do this! I have no doubt about it! We've got three great chasers, two superb beaters and an excellent keeper! The rain might be a bit of a problem for the Ravenclaws but we've trained in worse! I have absolute faith in you guys! Let's get out there and WIN!" Harry said, his voice full of enthusiasm.
Everyone cheered loudly and clapped each other on the back.
A loud roar came from the stands, "That's our cue!" Harry said stepping to the side and letting Ginny fly out in front.
"Weasley! Timberscale! Finnigan! Bater! Thompson! Weasley! Aaaaaand Potter!" Dean yelled over the magical microphone, since Lee Jordan had left he'd taken over.
An even louder roar came from the Gryffindor stands and boo's from the Ravenclaw.
Madame Hooch blew on her whistle and everyone came down into their places from doing laps.
"A nice clean game now!" she said and the game was off.
Harry zoomed up away from the Ravenclaw seeker, Emma Jefferson who was trying to keep close to him. He soared over the top of the stands, squinting for a glimpse of the snitch to end the game quickly.
"Weasley! Passes to Timberscale! Back to Weasley! Off to the right to Finnigan! Ooh nasty blow from that bludger! Finnigan drops the quaffle but recovered by Weasley! And- YES it's through! 10-0 to Gryffindor."
Harry looked over to the side and saw Ginny give Aleisha a high five. He smiled and then out of the corner of his eye he could see Emma circling close to him.
'Time for some fun.' Harry thought to himself, and with a fake look of concentration dived towards the ground.
Emma immediately was on his tail. The ground was coming closer and closer.
"Potter and Jefferson have seen the snitch!"
At the last second Harry pulled up with all his might, just skimming the ground. Emma wasn't so lucky, she plowed straight into the ground.
There was a loud, "Oooh!"
Harry flew up and looked down at her, she seemed okay, a little dazed but not injured permantly. Harry hurtled to the other end of the Qudditch pitch, taking this time to search for the Snitch. A small glimmer of gold caught Harrys eye, he dived again.
"Potter has seen the snitch!"
His arm stretched out in front of him, straining.
'A little closer. A little more!' Harry thought, his face scrunched up in concentration. The ground was coming closer and closer, if Harry didn't pull up he was going to plow straight into the ground. Half a meter from the ground Harrys fingers closed around the snitch. He pulled up with all his might and landed with a soft tumble on the grass.
"Ow."
"YES! POTTER HAS THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WIN! 160-0!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That was such a stupid move Harry!" Hermione said glaring at him and dabbing a cut on his forehead with a cloth.
"Ow!" he said wincing.
Hermione glared at him, "Well if you hadn't been such an idiot you wouldn't have gotten hurt!" she snapped.
"But 'Mione...you're the one that hit me." Harry argued.
"You deserved it!" she said poking his cut.
"OW!!!" he yelled.
"Oh don't be such a baby." she sniffed, ignoring the couple of first years who were giggling at the pair.
"I'm not a baby."
"Then quit whining!"
"Hmph...so what have you got next?" Harry asked, changing the subject.
Hermione tilted her head to the side as she gently dabbed his head, "Um...potions. What about you?"
"Extra DADA." Harry said with a sigh.
"Don't you like doing it?" Hermione asked, squinting at his cut.
"It's not that I don't like it..it's just a tad...er...nerve-racking because you never know when Moody will let rip and fire curses everywhere." Harry said with a shrug.
Ron bit back a laugh from his spot on the couch beside Harry, "Sounds funny."
"Yeah it's dead hilarious when you walk in and Moody blasts you to the other side of the school." Harry said rolling his eyes good humourdly.
Ron snickered, "Well that's what you get."
"Done!" Hermione said stepping away from Harry, "Be more careful next time."
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HIT ME!" Harry exclaimed loudly.
"WELL NEXT TIME DON'T COMMENT ON THINGS LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF ME!" Hermione said just as loudly.
Instantly Ron and Harry blushed, "We didn't know you could hear us." Ron said embarrassed.
Hermione harrumped loudly, "Well I did! And you two are...arg!" she finished and stormed away.
Harry bit his lip so he wouldn't laugh, "Well...why didn't she hit you as well?"
Ron grinned at him, "She tried to but I dodged, that's why she hit you twice."
Harry rubbed his sore head, "Typical." he laughed, "Well...I'd better be going...if your late for Moodys classes..he gets............tempermental."
Ron clapped him on the back, "See you at lunch. Or at least I'll visit you."
"Visit me where?"
"At the hospital wing."
"Oh shut up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry clicked open his MSN window and signed in, Draco and Harry had been waiting for Moody to show up for the last twenty minutes in silence.
"Do you think he's forgotten about us?" Draco asked.
Harry turned and looked at him, "I'm still waiting for him to blast me again...maybe he got called away."
Draco nodded, "Probably."
Harry looked down at his huge list of contacts; most of whom were online.
'Well well..let's see..I don't actually know who most of these are...they've added me...somehow.' he said.
'Hi!' someone called Primrose said.
'Hi.' Harry typed back.
'How are you?'
'Good. you?'
'Fine!'
'Um..who are you?' Harry asked.
'...not telling. Who are you?'
'You added me and you don't know who I am?'
'Well you're talking to me and you don't know who I am!'
'I assumed you knew who I was when you added me.' Harry typed.
{AN: Okay from now on im changing how they type so you'll know whats chatroom and whats not!}
Primrose: I just added some people who my friend told me to add.
GoldenPhoenix {Remember that's Harrys name}: Oh okay then. So what class are you in?
Primrose: Potions you?
'Hmm Hermiones in potions too..I wonder who this person is.'
GoldenPhoenix: DADA
Primrose: Cool. Learning loads? ;)
GoldenPhoenix: Sure. lol.
Primrose: I've got to go now. Snape is in a mood and I don't want to get caught. Maybe I'll talk to you later.
GoldenPhoenix: Hope so. Just tell me one thing. Are you a girl or a boy.
Primrose: I'm a girl. U?
GoldenPhoenix: I'm a boy.
Primrose: 'Kaay bye!
GoldenPhoenix: bye.
"Who are you talking to?" Draco asked leaning over and looking at Harrys screen.
Harry laughed, "I have no idea. She wouldn't tell me."
"She huh?" Draco asked laughing at Harrys blush.
"Oh shut up. Who are you talking to?" Harry asked peering over.
Draco, in all of what would have been a milisecond, closed the window, "No one." he said quickly.
"Sure you weren't. Who?" Harry asked disbelievingly.
A faint touch of pink graced Dracos cheeks, "I don't know either okay? Some person."
"What's the screen name?" Harry asked leaning over so he could see Dracos computer better.
Draco frowned and moved it out of the way of Harrys gaze, "None of your business. Go talk to your girlfriend." he said, his voice teasing.
Harry blushed, "She's not my girlfriend! I don't even know who she is! She could be...anyone!"
"Could be Hermione."
"Hermione wouldn't add someone who she didn't know. She's not stupid." Harry said shaking his head.
"You never know...even smart people slip up." Draco said, a faint trace of regret in his voice.
"You want to...uh..talk?" Harry asked, not quite sure what to say.
Draco gave him a funny look, "Uh no."
Harrys eye was caught by a little blue box flashing, "Ohh! You're girlfriend is talking." Harry said pointing.
Draco whipped his head to it and opened it.
RedTemptress: You are such a flirt.
Harry cracked up laughing as Dracos cheeks turned a shade of red never seen before, "Oh that's funny." Harry said clapping Draco on the back, "What exactly were you saying?"
RedTemptress: You nearly made me get caught! Flitwick was right behind me!
Draco glared at Harry, "Shut up." he said.
Harry stopped laughing but the grin was still on his face, "Alright calm down. She's talking again." he said pointing to the screen.
RedTemptress: Why won't you tell me who you are? We've been talking for ages now...
"How long is ages?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow.
RedTemptress: Since the second day of school...
Draco glared at Harry, "Do you mind this is a private conversation."
Harry shrugged, "Not at all." but he didn't move.
Draco rolled his eyes.
SilverSerpent: I know we've been talking for ages.
RedTemptress: Well then...why won't you tell me who you are?
SilverSerpent: I don't know who you are either.
RedTemptress: Yes..but if you told me I'd tell you.
SilverSerpent: Yeah I guess...can you hold on for a moment? I've got someone leaning over my shoulder.
Draco took this time to glare at Harry meaningfully. Harry gave him an angelic smile, "Ignore me."
Draco rolled his eyes, then pointed to Harrys computer, "You're being talked to." he said.
Harry turned back to his computer, "Oh would you look at that. I am. It's the same person!!!! Haha it's redtemptress!"
RedTemptress: Hi. Who are you?
GoldenPhoenix: Who are you?
RedTemptress: I asked you first!
GoldenPhoenix: Doesn't mean I have to answer first.
RedTemptress: Yes it does!
GoldenPhoenix: lol! Nuh huh!
Draco leaned over, "Did she say who she was? Find out for me will you?" he asked.
Harry grinned, "Alright I'll try."
GoldenPhoenix: What house are you in?
RedTemptress: Why?
GoldenPhoenix: I just wanted to know how you got my email lol.
RedTemptress: Oh I got it from Colin Creevey. He had nearly everyones emails but he didn't know whose was who so I just grabbed the list and added everyone.
GoldenPhoenix: Lol!! So are you a girl or a boy. I assume your in Gryffindor if you know Colin Creevey well enough to get a list from him.
RedTemptress: He was handing them out.
GoldenPhoenix: Oh. Lol okay nevermind then.. are you a girl or a boy?
"Who is it?" Draco asked impatiently,looking again.
"Give me a minute." Harry said, "She doesn't want to say."
RedTemptress: Look at my name. Does it sound very masculine to you?
GoldenPhoenix: Good point. So you're a Gryffindor girl then?
RedTemptress: Who says I'm in Gryffindor?
GoldenPhoenix: I just guess because of the red thing.
RedTemptress: Well I'm not saying who I am or what house I'm in!
"Damn. Sorry man. She won't say." Harry appolgised.
Draco frowned and sighed, "Bummer..."
"Why don't you just tell her who you are? Then she'd tell you." Harry suggested.
"She'd never speak to me again if I told her who I was." Draco said flatly.
"Why not?" Harry asked, a little confused.
"People usually don't..." Draco said, his voice quiet and sad.
"Oh..that sucks."
"Whatever. Anyway..you sure you can't get her to tell you?" Draco asked, changing the subject.
Harry quickly took the hint, "Sorry. She won't say."
RedTemptress: Are you a boy or a girl?
GoldenPhoenix: Boy.
RedTemptress: What house?
GoldenPhoenix: If you won't tell I won't. What year are you in?
RedTemptress: I'm above 5th year.
GoldenPhoenix: So you're not in 5th year?
RedTemptress: No above it.
GoldenPhoenix: 6th?
RedTemptress: Maybe
GoldenPhoenix: 7th?
RedTemptress: Maybe.
GoldenPhoenix: Lol. You're not making this easy.
RedTemptress: Good.
"She's either in 6th year or 7th year." Harry said to Draco.
"Oh okay. Good...know what house?" Draco asked.
Harry shook his head, "No she's being very evasive."
"Alright thanks anyway." Draco said flashing him a grateful smile.
"So what have you two been talking about?" Harry asked trying to sound casual.
Draco blushed a little, "Stuff."
"Draco! You're not having a full on relationship with this chick are you?" Harry asked shocked.
Draco turned even redder, "Not a full on relationship." he said quietly.
Harry shook his head, "She could be a he! Someone just screwing with you."
Draco glared at him, "She's not."
"How do you know?"
"She just isn't okay!" Draco said a little angrily.
"Alright calm down. I was just saying she could be." Harry said holding up his hands in defeat.
"I know...but I just don't want her to be." Draco said looking back at his screen.
Harry turned back to his screen and saw she had typed again.
RedTemptress: So what class are you in?
GoldenPhoenix: DADA. you?
RedTemptress: Charms
GoldenPhoenix: Shouldn't you be paying attention?
RedPhoenix: No more than you.
GoldenPhoenix: Lol. Yeah I guess.
"Hey don't say anything about Moody not being here okay?" Harry said to Draco who raised an eyebrow.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Well think about it. Hermione and Ron will want to know what happened.. then people will talk about it and it will completely get around that we're the only two in his class. You know? Then she'll know it's either you or me." Harry said.
Draco nodded, "Alright."
Harry leaned over, "What is she saying to you?" he asked.
Draco blushed but let him read it.
RedTemptress: It'd be so much more interesting if you were there tonight ;)
SilverSerpent: Tell me about it.
RedTemptress: If you tell me who you are I'll invite you.
SilverSerpent: Let's not start that again.
Harry watched as another message popped up.
RedTemptress: Can I help it if I want to kiss you in real life instead of just online?
Harrys eyes widened to the size of dishes, "And you said not a full on relationship!" he said.
Draco raised an eyebrow, "What are you going on about?? Has she said something back?" he asked shoving Harry out of the way so he could see.
Harry waited for Draco to say something but instead Draco just turned crimson and started stuttering.
"Wh-she-wha-she wants to-how-I mean should I-" Draco stammered.
Harry chuckled, "So you still think she wouldn't want to know who you are?"
"More than ever." Draco said firmly.
Harry shook his head, "You're an idiot." he sighed and turned back to his conversation with Dracos mystery girl.
RedTemptress: What year are you in?
GoldenPhoenix: 7th
RedTemptress: Oh okay. Cool.
GoldenPhoenix: Heh thanks.
"Can I tell her I'm sitting next to you?" Harry asked.
Draco frowned, "You can't say who I am...or that I let you read the conversation." he said finally.
GoldenPhoenix: Wow would you look at that. The person I'm sitting next to is having a conversation with you as well.
RedTemptress: What's their screen name?
GoldenPhoenix: SilverSerpent.
RedTemptress: Did you read our convo?
GoldenPhoenix: Nah he wouldn't let me.
RedTemptress: Who exactly are you sitting next to? Like what's his name?
GoldenPhoenix: That'd be telling.
RedTemptress: Exactly! So?
GoldenPhoenix: You tell me who you are first.
RedTemptress: I don't want to...
GoldenPhoenix: Well he doesn't want me to say..so I won't.
RedTemptress: Look I gtg. Flitwick is close and I don't want him to catch me.
GoldenPhoenix: Maybe I'll talk to you later?
RedTemptress: Maybe. Bye
GoldenPhoenix: Bye.
"She's gone." Harry said.
Draco nodded, "Flitwick was on her tail."
"Yeah...who do you think it is?" Harry asked.
Draco shrugged, "I don't know..I know who I want it to be but I doubt its that person."
"Who do you want it to be?" Harry asked curiously.
"Not saying." Draco said quickly, realising he'd said too much.
'No go on. Tell me I won't laugh." Harry encouraged.
"Maybe I'll tell you some other time." Draco said dismissively.
"Why not tell me now? We're the only ones here." Harry said leaning forward, grinning slightly.
"Because.."
"Because??" Harry prompted.
"Because I want it to be Ginny Weasley."
AN: How's that for an ending? I know it didn't go on about Hermione and Harrys diary HOWEVER I have a plan so stayed tuned for the next chapter!!! Let me know what you think with a nice long REVIEW *hint hint*
