Hogsmaede part 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nothing owns me. Jo has it all.
A roar of noise was all they heard when they entered the
common room. All the Gryffindors were there, running about…Cally and Hermione came rushing over to them
beaming.
"Congratulations!" screamed Cally.
" You'll two were simply too good!" "Thanks." Said Ron,
"Ummm, Hermione, can I speak to you alone for a minute?"
"Yeah, sure," said Hermione, following him out of the common room.
"So, is he going to ask her out now?" asked Cally. Harry, not bothering to hide his surprised, asked, "How did you know?"
"Oh Hermione never seems to stop talking about how dumb he is, or how stupid, or how rude. Isn't it obvious Harry?"
" Yeah well, I suppose we can't expect them back anytime soon, so shall we join in the party?" " We already are!" she screamed pulling him by his hand to the centre of the crowd.

Harry awoke late that Sunday morning. The party in the common room had gone on very late, and he had partied till very late indeed. Ron and Hermione had walked in midway through holding hands, and as soon as Ron saw Harry, he came running over, giving a high five to Harry. There was a hogsmaede trip fixed for that day, and Harry and Ron were looking forward to it. But when they walked down, ready to leave, they saw Hermione sitting on a couch with her books all around her, and Cally opposite to her with a frown on her face…
"Hey! Why the long face?" asked Harry
"Hermione here's not coming to Hogsmaede! She wants to sit here and do her work! Well I don't care, I'm going no matter what!" said Cally.
Harry replied, looking at Hermione, "Come on Hermione! Don't miss out! Besides, there's only one week left till we break up for that one week of vacations when all the professors are going for the 'Once in a decade – worldwide professors meet'."
But the look Hermione gave him said it all. Giving up, he said, "Well I'm going! Ron coming?"
Ron rose from the couch and said
"Yeah! Of co…" he looked at Hermione, "…But if you want me to stay, I have no problem." He said.
"Thanks!" replied Hermione brightly giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Ron, gushing, immediately sat down beside her.
Harry and Cally, laughing walked out of the common room, leaving Ron and Hermione in privacy.
"We should have gone, Hermione…"
" Ron! Come on! Don't you even care about Harry asking Cally out?"
"Well, yeah I know…Wait a minute! How did you know?"
"Oh well, let's just say, it's not that hard to notice."
" But why studies, Hermione?" said Ron, whining.
" What studies? We don't have to go to hogsmaede to have a good time do we?" asked Hermione putting her book down.... (Note to Stuti... U happy???😳
Harry handed Professor McGonnagal his and Cally's permission slips. She nodded her head in approval and handed it back. Harry and Cally then started their walk down to Hogsmaede…
"Harry, ummm, What's hogsmaede?"
Harry looked at her in astonishment and said, "What! You don't know what Hogsmaede is?"
"Oh, I do! But what's so great about it?" she asked.
"Well," said Harry, winking at her, "We're going to find out!".
They talked for the rest of the walk down to Hogsmaede about all sorts of things… They somehow reached the topic of Quidditch.
"Ron's going crazy you know," Harry said. " One of our chaser's quit, because his mother's not letting him play! So we have to have try-outs again! It's going to be such a long process!"
"Wow! Maybe I should try out!"
"Cally, you play Quidditch?"
"Yeah, but I'm not that great…so…"
"Oh, you can try out, all the same!"
"Yeah, I guess!"
By this time, they had reached Hogsmaede. They walked into Zonko's, and after Harry made a few small purchases, they both walked out. As they were walking out, Harry realized that Cally haden't bought anything, "Cally, aren't you planning on buying anything?"
"Yeah, I am!"
"Then why didn't you buy?"
"I'll buy it in the other shop!"
"Which other shop?"
"Weasely's wizard wheezes of course!"
"What!"
"What what?"
"When did they come here?"
"It was on the notice board!"
"I didn't see it!"
"Too bad, then!"
"Why?"
"Coz, you already bought your stuff! And now you've blown up your cash already!"
"Oh, you wait and watch…"
They walked into Weasely Wizard Wheezes…as crowded as it's counterpart. Harry walked up to one of the witches at the counter, and asked,
" Hey, any idea where Fred and George are?"
"This way, sir."
Cally watched in astonishment as they were led into a door behind the counter. Inside the room, were cozy couches, bean bags and lovely coffee tables, a bar at the far end, for coffee, butterbeer, etc… and in the centre of the room sat two handsome boys, completely identical to one other. Cally's jaw dropped. The twins were talking to who she recognized as Luna Lovegood. As Harry walked in, they exclaimed, "Harry, old mate, how have you been?"
"Oh fine, fine!"
"And who's the pretty lady?" Fred asked, indicating Cally
"Oh, guys, meet Cally, Cally, this is Fred, and this is George. The famous Fred and George Weasely…"
"Hi!" said Cally "You guys look a lot like this friend of ours, his name's Ron you know…"
Harry, bursting with laughter said, " Cally, meet Fred and George Weasely, Ron weasely's brothers."
"Oh my god! I just thought you guys shared a surname…and…oh never mind!"
Fred, who just noticed that they were standing, said " Sit down! Why are you people standing!"
George glanced over at Luna, "So umm… Luna… What're your plans for Hogsmaede?"
"Oh nothing in particular, though I should get going," she said, rising.
"Take anything from the shop, a 30% discount for you!" screamed Fred and George in unison.
"Are you serious?" exclaimed Cally, " A thirty % discount?"
"Oh not for you!"
"Yeah, I know… besides I hardly know you guys!"
"Yeah exactly! No discount for you missy, but whoever walks in with Harry Potter, gets a great great discount… Anything you pick, on the house… Go ahead!"
"Oh my god! You guys rock! Harry you heard that?"
Harry however was frowning at them, "Guys, how many times! You'll run into loss!"
"Oh that, at the moment, is practically impossible!"
"Exactly! So you just go out there, pick what you want, and don't forget to tell where you got it, if someone asks!"
Laughing, Harry walked out into the shop, with Cally beside him.
