    ... earlier. They had enjoyed a rather light, flirtatious relationship that had had hints of being something more, had they had the time, and had events not unfolded as they had. Harry was enjoying getting to know her, as well. He remembered the events from his second year quite well, and how most of Hufflepuff had shunned him, thinking he had been the one to petrify Justin, but Susan had never said a bad word against him. One afternoon in July, he finally asked her why. Susan shrugged a little sheepishly. "You seemed just as scared as the rest of us," she explained. "I didn't think you'd do anything to hurt anyone, though I am sorry I never really fought for you against my housemates. Besides, your mother was muggleborn, as is one of your best friends, why would you have any sort of vendetta against them?" Harry smiled, and nothing more was said on the subject, though he definitely felt closer to the girl after that; he was enjoying making new friends, and felt that Susan could be a lifelong one.

Harry was excited, but he also saw the look in Neville's eyes at the mention of the match. Harry knew Neville would not be going, as his grandmother was not a fan. The opportunity to do something about that arose a few days later. Neville hadn't been able to come over, as his grandmother had asked him to do something at home, and Ron had used some 'improper language' in front of his mother, so it was just Susan and Ginny that day. Later in the afternoon, Amelia showed up, spending some time just cuddling with Sirius on the sofa. Harry entered the room nervously, and was pleased that, at least, they weren't snogging. "Erm, Amelia, do you have a minute?" he asked hesitantly. The two adults sat up straighter, and Amelia nodded. "Of course, Harry. Is something wrong?" Harry shook his head as he sat down in the armchair across from the pair, twisting his hands together in his lap. "I just wanted to ask you something. Susan mentioned that you were ...
