Samantha's POV

Samantha was walking to lunch when she spotted Harry, surprisingly, walking alone. No Ron or Hermione in sight.

"Harry!" She called out after him, "Harry, wait up!" Samantha ran up to catch him.

"Oh- h- hi Samantha." He said, looking stranger than usual.

"Hey, um- if you do not mind me asking, are you ok? Hermione told me that Ron blew up at you." Samantha said being careful for her words in order to not worsen his feelings.

"Oh, you heard about that, um yeah. I think we just need to cool off a bit." Harry said looking down and rubbing the back of his neck.

"That would be for the better." Samantha said not sure what to say next. After walking a short time in silence, she decided to break the awkwardness.

"Hey Harry?" he looked up at her. "I was wondering if you want to get lunch with me, my friends still have classes and well...I do not know if you want to talk to Ron and Hermione yet. But it's fine if you don't want to."

"NO! I mean, no, it's great actually. I'd love to since the whole school is kind of against me." He said lightly laughing.

"Yeah, don't worry, I believe you. Besides I do not think you are mental enough to actually ent-" Samantha stopped herself when she saw these odd buttons that people wore.

She saw that it said Potter stinks. Oh this was bad.

"Harry, I- I think we should just go somewhere else." She tried to push Harry away from the crowd of sneering people who wore the buttons.

"Why? if we go through the courtyard it's the fastest way to the Great Hall." He said still oblivious to the pins.

He looked around and finally saw what Samantha tried to steer him away from.

"Harry pay no attention them, we can just go around. Besides it is a much nicer view if we go arou-" Before she got to finish, Harry pushed through the people, straight to Cedric.

Harry pulled Cedric to talk in private, in what Samantha assumed to be about the horrid pins.

As the two boys talked, she turned to her fellow housemates who wore the buttons.

"Why would you all wear those horrible pins, can't you see? He is already suffering enough from all your sneering, I can't even believe you all actually think Harry put his name in the Goblet. He'd have to be mental to do that. Now take those off and stop talking behind his back!" She asserted.

Samantha was nice, but when it came to her friends and family, now that is another story.

As she finished scolding her housemates, Harry took her hand and they walked away.

Harry and Samantha walked in the different direction across the courtyard.

Just to their luck, Ron and Seamus were about to go out where they were going to go in.

Harry and Ron cane face to face.

As boys usually do, they argued and blew up at each other. Each going a different direction than the other.

"Here, lets just cut through that way," Samantha said pointing to another exit from the courtyard. "it's easier and faster.
