I. Harper had followed Gulliver onto the train, but somehow he had disappeared into the crowd, and she was hopelessly lost. Spotting the older boy, she stood there for a moment - He probably knew what was where, he looked probably Scout and Hawthorne’s age.. But, he was, well, he was cute. And Harper wasn’t the type who could even look at a cute boy without making a fool of herself, let alone talk to one.. No, she turned around, determined to find her brother on her own. There couldn’t be that many kids here.II. “That’s James Potter.” It was from one of the other girls she had sort of befriended that she heard this, at breakfast. Harper hadn’t asked, but she had been eyeing him from across the room, and maybe she should have tried to be more subtle about it. She blushed, and looked at her plate, opening her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. “He’s in a band, he’s really cool.”III. She didn’t have a crush on James Potter. She’d never even spoken to him, that would be ridiculous. Besides, there were other boys who she had focused her attention on. One, really, but that was besides the point. He was still cute, and she still found herself giving him a second glance whenever he passed her in the hall. It was stupid, though, because he was, as she had learned, was really cool. And she was not. IIII. Quidditch was not something that Harper was familiar with. Football, yeah, rugby, a bit, but she had never really payed much attention to quidditch, not even when her siblings or parents talked about it. It didn’t interest her because she couldn’t play, and because it was harder to like magical things knowing that they weren’t really for her. But she went to the games, because everyone went to the games, and it seemed only right. School spirit, and all? James Potter played quidditch. He was good at quidditch, too, or at least he seemed good at it. He didn’t seem bad at it. IIIII. Nudging her older sister, Harper bit her lip. “Hey, Scout? Is it, like.. Bad to have more than one crush? Or, I mean, like.. Can you think someone is cute without having a crush on them? Or.. Like.. Nevermind. It’s not important anyway.”IIIIII. She would not be late for class, she would not be late, she would not.. Crashing into someone, the books she had haphazardly stacked in her arms scattered across the floor and she silently cursed herself. “I am so sorry, omigod, I’m..” She bent down to pick them up, and the other person chuckled. “Nah, man, it’s cool.” Harper looked up, and found herself face to face with James Potter. She swallowed hard. “I.. Um.. I.. Have we met?” God, that was the worst thing she would have said. But at least it was something.
