     "Rehearsal is dismissed! Everyone please try and learn these lines as quickly as possible!" said Professor Smith.

"Everyone has been doing amazing these pass few weeks! Keep up the good work!" Professor Flitwick said.

They all packed up their things and started to head out the door to their dorms. Athena stayed behind to ask a few questions about the scene they had just gone over. To her surprise James had stayed back as well. Also to ask questions. She finished up and was already out of the muggle studies hall when she heard someone shouting her name.

"Athena wait!"

She turned around to a tall brunette boy running towards her. It was James.

"Is everything alright?" She asked.

"Yes, yes" he said breathing heavily. "I was just thinking maybe we should go over the script together. To give each other notes on some of the scenes."

"I think that's a great idea!"

"You do?" He said surprisingly.

"Of course I do ! We both have a lot to improve on and some notes wouldn't hurt. But it's getting late and frankly I am quite tired. Maybe we could do that another day."

"Well I was actually thinking tomorrow. If that's okay with you?" He asked.

"That's fine with me." Athena said.

"Okay so Tomorrow.... at the Three Broomsticks?"

"Tomorrow at the Three Broomsticks at one o'clock?" She asked.

"Sounds like date!" He said without thinking and a little to excited.

Athena's face went red, "A date?" She asked.

"Oh! I meant- like umm, you know. Two people hanging out, together as friends." He said frantically.

"Oh okay, goodnight James. I'll see you tomorrow" she said while quickly walking away.

     "What do you think of my outfit?" Athena said Turing to Zoe.

     "I like it, It's cute. I love the skirt" Zoe said from her bed.

     "Are you sure? You don't think it's too much?" Athena asked.

     "You're going to the Three Broomsticks. No one is going to care about what you're wearing."

     "But I care" she said while looking at her outfit in the mirror.

     "Who are you even going with? I know it's not Liv or Anna because they have detention. And I know it's not me because i don't remember being invited, quite frankly I'm offended you didn't think me" she said jokingly.

     Athena laughed, "don't worry next time you'll be the first person I invite to hogsmeade."

     "You still didn't answer my question. Who are you going with?"

     "James Potter" she said causally while fixing her hair.

     Zoe quickly stood up from the bed. "Oh my gosh! You're going on a date with James Potter!"

     "What? No!"

     "I knew it! I knew there was something going on."

     "No no no. It's not a date."

    "If it's not a date then why are you so worried about your outfit?" Zoe asked while giving Athena a look.

"I just want to look good, okay. Besides we're going over the script for the play. It's more like rehearsal."
