I do not own anything except the characters I created and the storyline. JK Rowling is the genius who started it all.
Please take the time to review. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Still no flashback!! This chapter is pretty short but the next one will be posted tomorrow to make up for that. t
Chapter Nine
"Emma," called Noah as he ran past a group of third years.
Emma Jordan turned around to see who called her name. When she realized it was Noah, she immediately started to blush.
"Hi, Noah."
"Hey."
Emma stared at the floor.
"How are you?" he asked.
"I'm good," she stated to the floor.
"I'm up here," he joked.
Emma looked up and smiled shyly. "I'm good," she repeated.
"Did you want to walk to class together?"
She blushed even more. "Ok."
The two of them headed to the dungeons for their Potions class.
"So how come you are able to announce the quidditch games, but are shy around me?"
"I love quidditch. When I'm announcing, I just block everything else out. It's just me and the game," she replied.
"How come you don't play?"
"Most quidditch players have talent. I do not."
"Do you fly?" he asked.
"Not really. I've only done it once or twice."
"Well, we'll just have to change that."
"We will?" she questioned.
"Yes."
Emma grinned at him. When the two of them reached the Potions classroom, Emma started to go inside but Noah reached out to stop her.
"I was wondering if you would like to go to the Graduation Ball with me?"
"Really?" she blurted. "I mean yes. I'd love to."
"Great."
"I can't wait. I love to dance," she stated excitedly.
She gave him a hug and walked into the classroom. Dance thought Noah. Great. Just
great.

Later that night, Noah waited for Hailey to finish her Potions assignment.
"Alright Noah, what's on your mind?" she asked. "You've been sitting here staring at me all night."
Noah grinned. "It's about time you noticed. For a minute there, I thought you were purposely ignoring me."
"You don't make it easy to ignore you."
"Thank you."
"So what's going on?"
"I need a favor," he declared.
Hailey looked at him skeptically. "No, I am not helping you catch the Giant Squid."
He laughed. "That's not it, but a very good idea."
"So what's the favor?"
"Well, I asked Emma Jordan to the go to the ball with me."
"Oh. Really? What did she say?"
"Obviously, she said yes. I mean come on Hails, look at this face," he stated as he pointed at himself.
Hailey laughed half-heartedly. "Congrats."
"Thanks. So I have a date, but there's a problem."
"And that's where you need the favor?" she guessed.
"Yup, I need you to teach me how to dance."
"Dance?" she asked.
"Yes."
Hailey laughed.
"Hey!" he remarked.
At the incredulous look on his face, Hailey laughed harder.
"It's not that funny," he muttered.
"Aw, this is too cute. Noah Potter can not dance."
"Shh. Someone might hear you."
Hailey rolled her eyes.
"So will you help me?" asked Noah.
"Sure."
"Thanks Hails, you're the best."

Hermione Potter sat in front of Healer Luna Lovegood.
"Luna, Harry and I have been trying for months and I'm still not pregnant."
"Well, there could be a number of reasons. The best thing to do is run some tests."
"What kind of tests?" asked Hermione.
"Just routine exams. Basically, the tests will see if the two of you are capable of conceiving."
"When can we get started?"
Luna looked through her planner. "Tomorrow around eleven. Is that ok?"
"Perfect. Thanks a lot Luna."
"Anytime."
"I need to get back to work, I'll see you tomorrow."
When Hermione left, Luna stayed behind her desk. She couldn't believe Harry and Hermione wanted another child. Luna hoped that her two closest friends did not have any complications. She scheduled the tests and went to see her next patient.

"How are things with Hailey?" asked Jon while he ran on the treadmill.
James slowed down the speed on his own treadmill to start a cool down.
"Things are good. I'm sticking with the friend thing, but it's only temporary."
"Really? Things are going that well?"
"I want them to go faster so I can finally have my girlfriend back."
"What's slowing you down?" questioned Jon.
"She doesn't write back as often as I'd like. When she does write me, it's about school or Noah."
"Maybe she's busy," suggested Jon.
"Yeah, that could be it."
"Or she fancies someone."
"There's no way she could fancy anyone. I know her better than anyone and I don't see it happening."
"James, she might not be the same girl you're used to."
"What makes you say that?"
"Amy owled me the other day. She said that Noah and Hailey got a detention."
"For what?" asked James.
"They went swimming in the lake after hours."
"It's freezing outside. Are they crazy?"
"Maybe. Amy said it had something to do with a dare."
"That doesn't sound like Hailey," complained James.
"It's definitely something Noah would do though."
"Yeah, they have been getting pretty close."
"Isn't that what you wanted? Someone she could turn to," stated Jon.
"Yes, but I'm back in her life now."

"I still can't believe you two hid from Filch," exclaimed Noah.
Noah, Hailey, Leah and Will were walking out of the Great Hall after dinner. Leah and Will shrugged.
"There was no way I was getting caught," stated Leah.
Hailey shook her head. "Hey, we dared each other that none of us would be able to jump into the lake."
"It's the middle of winter," complained Will.
"Noah and I did it," responded Hailey.
"First of all, you two are crazy," started Leah. "And secondly, Noah cheated."
"How did I cheat?"
"You casted a heating charm on Hailey and yourself."
Hailey and Noah grinned on each other. "Oops. I didn't think you guys heard that."
Will laughed. "Well, you guys already served your detention. There's nothing we can do."
"Alright," stated Noah and Hailey together. "But we're getting you guys back."
When they reached the Fat Lady portrait, Hailey and Noah stood back to let Will and Leah enter.
"Are you two coming?" asked Will.
"No, I'm going to teach Noah how to," started Hailey.
"How to write a proper Potions paper," interrupted Noah. "We'll be at the library."
Will and Leah walked into the Gryffindor Common Room. Hailey turned to Noah.
"Why the big secret?"
"Your brother would never let me hear the end of it, if he knew you were showing me how to dance."
"I know that's what I was hoping for."
"You are so kind. Lets go get started."
