Juliet Diggory (HPFF/ HPLS) SLOW UPDATES

chapter 19 No Hogsmeade and Aunt Juliet

Harrys p.o.v

I returned to the Gryffindor common room later on the net evening after training, cold and stiff but pleased with the way practice had gone, to find the room buzzing excitedly.

"What's happened?", I asked Ron and Hermione, who were sitting in two of the best chairs by the fireside and completing some star charts for Astronomy.

"First Hogsmeade weekend", said Ron, pointing at a notice that had appeared on the battered old bulletin board. End of October. Halloween.

"Excellent", said Fred (I think), who had followed me through the portrait hole.

"I need to visit Zonko's. I'm nearly out of Stink Pellets."

I threw myself into a chair beside Ron, My high spirits ebbing away. Hermione seemed to read my mind. Because my Uncle didn't sigh the slip

"Harry, I'm sure you'll be able to go next time", she said. "They're bound to catch Black soon. He's been sighted once already."

"Black's not fool enough to try anything in Hogsmeade", said Ron. "Ask McGonagall if you can go this time, Harry. The next one might not be for ages -

" Ron!"said Hermione. "Harry's supposed to stay in school -"

"He can't be the only third year left behind", said Ron. "Ask McGonagall, go on, Harry -"

"Yeah, I think I will",i said making up my mind i mean what's the worse that can happen .

Hermione opened her mouth to argue, but at that moment Crookshanks leapt lightly onto her lap. A large, dead spider was dangling from his mouth. YEW

"Does he have to eat that in front of us?" said Ron, scowling at the cat only Merlin knows how much Ron hates that cat.

"Clever Crookshanks, did you catch that all by yourself?" said Hermione.

Crookshanks; slowly chewed up the spider, his yellow eyes fixed insolently on Ron. This cat is EVIL

"Just keep him over there, that's all", said Ron irritably, turning back to his star chart. "I've got Scabbers asleep in my bag."

I yawned. I really wanted to go to bed, but I still had my  star chart to complete. I pulled my bag toward me, took out parchment, ink, and quill, and started work.

"You can copy mine, if you like", said Ron, labeling his last star with a flourish and shoving the chart toward me. I seant him a thankful smile

Hermione, who disapproved of copying even though last year she would practley do mine and Ron's homework, pursed her lips but didn't say anything. Crookshanks was still staring unblinkingly at Ron, flicking the end of his bushy tail. Then, without warning, he pounced.

"OI!" Ron roared, seizing his bag as Crookshanks sank four sets of claws deep inside it and began tearing ferociously. "GET OFF, YOU STUPID ANIMAL! "

Ron tried to pull the bag away from Crookshanks, but Crookshanks clung on, spitting and slashing. i hate that cat it hates me but mostly Ron and it stopped me and Juls from kissing-- Er i mean i love that cat it stopped me and Juliet from kissing yer- not the other way round and its Juliet not Juls

"Ron, don't hurt him!"squealed Hermione; the whole common room was watching; Ron whirled the bag around, Crookshanks still clinging to it, and Scabbers came flying out of the top -
