lot of people staring avidly at the scar on his forehead. "I -- I've got to go to the library, got to get some work done."

After that, he had no choice but to turn right around and head back out of the portrait hole again.

"What was the point waking me up?" the Fat Lady called grumpily after him as he walked away.

Harry wandered dispiritedly toward the library, but halfway there he changed his mind; he didn't feel like working. He turned around and came face-to-face with Filch, who had obviously just seen off the last of the Hogsmeade visitors.

"Hello!"

The voice made him jump. Turning around Harry saw Amelia standing behind him smiling brightly.

"What are you doing here? Hermione and Ron said you got an early start to Hogmand!"

"Yeah, they lied. I asked them to. I decided to stay." Amelia was grinning widely.

"Why? Wouldn't you rather be with them having fun?"

"Oh god no," Harry raised a brawl, "oh sorry that came out wrong. What I mean is I would rather be here making sure you have fun too. I have a few ideas planned if you would like to join."

Amelia was rocking back and forth on her heel her hands behind her back a grin on her face. Harry could tell by the bags under her eye that she must have stayed up all night playing today.

"It would be rude to say no."

Amelia laughed slinging an arm around Harry's shoulder as they walked down the hall. "This is going to be fun. Ever pull a prank before Harry?"
