The next morning was Sunday and we had the day off. I got up from my bed and I was covered in dirt. It took me a minute to realize why I was, but then I remembered what had happened the night before. I had had a encounter with Voldemort. I had also apparated. I got up out of bed early in the morning. The sun was up but no one in my dormitory was. I went to my trunk and pulled out my outfit. It consisted of a flowy green shirt with a cream sweater. Then I had on jeans and combat boots. I put my hair into two Dutch braids and then grabbed a few of my books that I had homework for. I put them into my shoulder bag with a quill and went down into he common room. The only person down there was Neville.

"Hey, Neville," I said calmly as I sat down next to him in the couch.

"Hello, Eliza. W-what are you doing up this early?" He asked me.

"I woke up... What time is it?" I asked him calmly.

"It's not seven yet," said Neville.

"Oh," I said with a sigh. "I thought it was later," I responded.

"What are you doing up?" I asked him.

"Was hoping to get some homework done," said Neville.

"Yes, I'm hoping to do that at some time today. Hey, do you like Professor Slughorn?" I asked.

"Um- kinda. I don't not like him," he responded. Just then the clock strikes seven.

"Hey..." I started. "Want to go down to breakfast together?" I asked. "It should be open now," I said.

"Oh- um, okay. Let's go," said Neville. We walked out of the portrait hole and walked slowly down the hall. We ended up sitting on a bench and talking for at least a hour.

Then, some sort of magic happened. But not that sort of magic, no, this was a different magic. A magic made of happiness. Neville and I kissed. It wasn't a long or big kiss. It was barely a peck on the lips. Right as we had pulled away. Someone unexpected showed up...Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I coughed awkwardly and didn't look at Neville.

"Oh, there you are," said Ron as the three of them rounded in front of Neville and myself on the bench. Hermione looked apprehensive as she came in front of us. Harry looked tired.

I forced on a smile. "Oh, yeah. Neville and I both woke up early today and then came down here to wait for the Great Hall to open. Is it open yet?" I said.

"Yeah, come on," said Ron.

"Ron-" said Hermione.

"Okay, Neville I'll meet you inside," I said slowly as I was dragged away by Ron.

After we got up the grand staircase I looked around to see if anyone was near us.

"I have something to tell you guys," I said as I pulled them into a empty classroom down the hall.

"So, you escaped?" Asked Harry as I finished telling him what had happened the night before.

"Yes.... I-I think I apparated," I said slowly.

"But Eliza, you don't know how," said Hermione.

"I know that..." I said.

"And...and it's illegal," said Hermione.

"I know that to, listen can we talk about this later, I'm hungry," I said slowly.

"Yeah, I'm starved," said Ron. And with that we went into the dining hall. It was almost ten by the time we got to the dining hall.

We are together not daring to say what had happened the night before. It was a okay breakfast until Professor Mcgonagal came up to us at the table.

"Hello... professor," I said turning to face her.

"Hello Elizabeth Professor Dumbledore would like to see you," she said.

"Oh..." I said. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all stared at me. I had just engine to get up when Mcgonagal urgently said

"Now, Miss Potter," I got up and went to his office with Mcgonagal.

"Acid Pops," she said to the gargoyle stature outside of the office. A staircase emerged behind it. "You may go," she said gesturing me up the stairs. She waited outside the door as I knocked in it.

"Come in Elizabeth," said Professor Dumbledore. I entered nervously.

"Hello, Professor," I said as I slowly walked into Dumbledores office.

"Ahh, you've arrived," said Dumbledore as he turned to me. He was standing in the back of his office in the area behind the portraits of past headmasters and mistresses. He was walking away from a large telescope that had the zodiac signs engraved into it.

"Um- you wanted to see me?" I asked.

"Yes, from what I hear you went on quite the adventure last night," he said walking towards me slowly. My eyes went slightly wide. I decided to try to tap dance around the subject.

"I would say so," I said slightly.

"May I ask a few questions about that?" Asked Professor Dumbledore as he walked behind his desk, sat down in his chair and gestured for me to sit in the chair in front of it. I hesitated for a moment before sitting gingerly on the edge of the chair.

"What would you like to know?" I asked quietly.

"Well, for starters why you touched the scar when I specifically told you not to for this very reason," said Dumbledore. Though he talked sternly, no anger was in his voice.

"Um- that's a bit confusing. I don't know all about it myself. I was asleep and then... I guess the scar burned... I must of touched it in my sleep by accident," I said shaking my head slightly.

"Yes..." Said Dumbledore. "Would you mind describing what happened wherever you were?" Asked Dumbledore. It was not a order but I knew better than to not tell him.

"I didn't wake up til I was apparating. I arrived on a foggy field like place.... I heard a voice... They were saying for someone to get her- I think they meant me. I ran away from here I heard the voice towards a old brick building. I ran to the back of it and behind a bush..." I stopped. "Wait a minute..." I said thinking. "Sir, how did you know what happened last night?" I asked.

"I will tell you once I know what's happened," said Dumbledore. I sighed and continued the story. I told him about how I apparated in and out of Hogwarts.

"Ahh, well if you must know, Professor Snape told me he found you last night in the hall completely a mess," said Dumbledore.

"Oh..." I said quietly.

"Sir," I asked. "How was I able to apparate in and out of Hogwarts?"

"Well, Elizabeth I ask that you do not tell anyone this its for security measures. Certain times the apparation enchantment can be lifted. You are lucky as it happened to be last night. The fact that you could apparate without being taught is amazing," said Dumbledore.

"Okay," I said calmly.

"You may go if you need to," said Dumbledore.

"Okay..." I said as I started to the door. "Thankyou," and I left the room. The. I removers about Neville. Neville had kissed me... I had gotten my first kiss by Neville Longbottom. I blushed thinking about it but happiness filled my lungs. Homework filled the rest of my day and I worked with Ginny.
