Chapter 3
Harry shut the door of the library without going in, feeling annoyed with Hermione's obsession with books and thinking that he had seen too much of libraries lately due to his O. W. L. level potions class. He wandered in the direction another group had gone and opened the door to find Ginny hopping up on top of a billiard table and Dean started pulling darts off of the board.
Harry hesitated a moment before joining them.
"Hey Harry," Dean said, catching sight of him. "Care for a game?"
"Nah," Harry replied. He just wanted to sit and think for awhile, so he hopped up next to Ginny on the pool table. Ginny flashed him a smile as Harry turned to look at her, both of them missing Dean's glance in their direction.
"I'll play," Ginny said to Dean, sliding down and taking the darts from Dean. "Gah! This dress is so frowsy!" she exclaimed, trying to straighten her apron.
Harry, who had been staring blankly at a spot on the floor, paid no attention to how much Dean was glaring at him.
Dean had mistaken Harry's lack of attention to mean he was staring at Ginny.
"Ginny, if you want to flirt with Harry please don't do it around me," Dean said in false calmness.
Harry snapped out of his thoughts at these words and witnessed the two of them yelling at each other.
"What!?" Ginny exploded. "If you really think I would have the audacity to flirt with my older brother's best friend in front of my boyfriend, then you don't know me very well!"
"Erm...I'll just leave, shall I?” Harry said to no one in particular.
"Shut it, Harry!" Dean rounded on him this time. "I saw you looking at her legs."
"What?" Harry and Ginny said together.
"I wasn't..." Harry was confused now, he had only been thinking about Quidditch, going over a few new plays in his head.
"I saw you do it, don't lie," Dean shouted.
"Don't accuse Harry of lying, if he said he wasn't looking then he wasn't," Ginny countered defiantly.
At this point Ginny and Dean were so consumed by their argument that neither of them noticed Harry inching out of the room.
"Sticking up for Harry now are you?" Dean continued.
"Who's the one acting like a jealous prat?" Ginny raged, matching Dean's anger.
Once Harry was safely back out in the tiled hallway of the Boddy mansion, his stomach gave a loud grumble. Harry decided his next course of action would be to see if there was a kitchen nearby.
He walked around the right side of the staircase, and opened the first set of doors he came across. Inside was a magenta colored room with a grand piano at one corner, Harry thought it looked like a ball room. Neville and Cho were there, Neville strolling around flipping up pillow cushions and scrutinizing everything very closely while Cho was sitting at the piano and playing a little tune that Harry didn't recognize.
Harry shut the door quietly, hoping they hadn't noticed him. He walked away from the double doors and ambled over to the right, not wondering where his feet were taking him. He opened the door in front of him and walked in cautiously in case someone was lurking about.
Behind this door was a gleaming white kitchen, clean enough to rival even Aunt Petunia's. There were black and white checkerboard floor tiles and wooden cabinets along the sides of the walls, in the middle of all this was a chopping board with a knife stuck in it.
Harry eagerly went in search of something to eat but before he could find anything, someone rushed loudly into the room behind him.
