"I don't know how we'd find anyone in this melee," she replied, frowning slightly. It was wall to wall students. She spotted a few people getting up to leave, though, and pointed Harry in that direction. "Let's grab that table first, and then we'll have a base of operations to search for Ron." She took his hand and weaved her way toward the empty seats - a hot commodity in this place - with Harry in tow.

	Neville spotted Harry and Hermione just as they were sitting down at a rare empty table. He glanced back at Parvati and they made a beeline for the table. "Hi guys, mind if we join you?" He said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Neville!" Hermione exclaimed with a smile. "Of course not... We're lucky to have extra seats..." She glanced over at Parvati and raised an eyebrow, amused. Boy, Hogsmeade trips sure did reveal a lot, didn't they? she thought to herself, and gave Harry a look. He was ordering butterbeers for them from Sirius' favourite barmaid, so she wasn't sure if he'd noticed yet that Neville and Parvati appeared to be here together.

	Harry's gaze turned from the direction of the bar to land on Neville...and Parvati? He shot a surprised look at Hermione, only to see her similar look. "Hey, guys," he said, smiling. "Having a good day?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Neville blushed, clearly aware that a few people were giving him curious looks regarding his apperance with Parvati. "Uh, we ran into each other at Honeydukes," he said, pulling out a chair for Parvati before sitting down himself, "What'd you and Harry end up doing today?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione gave Harry a quick, furtive look before responding. Then she smiled at Neville. "Oh, we've just been shopping and...you know, that sort of thing." She smiled a little wider when she saw how gentlemanly Neville was being toward Parvati. So far, of course, Parvati hadn't met her curious eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Out of the corner of her eye, Parvati noticed Hermione watching her. Blushing and wanting to avoid her gaze, she suddenly became very interested in her napkin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione cleared her throat and sat up straighter. "So...Parvati...I saw some quills today that would have impressed you..." She looked over at Neville. "Have you seen Parvati's quill collection? It's really quite something." She sat back and smiled, very amused by this whole situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parvati looked up, pleased that Hermione hadn't asked about Neville. "Really? Where?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione looked to Harry. She could tell Parvati was glad neither of them were making a big to-do about her appearance with Neville. "Tell Parvati all about our quill-shopping experience, would you, Harry?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My quill shopping experience? Oh, right," he said, responding to a glance from Hermione. "Er, I got a couple of quills....black quills. They're all right, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parvati shook her head. "That's boring, Harry. You should branch out more. Buy a few colors!" She paused and frowned slightly. "But you'll need the black for Snape's class. You'll get marked down otherwise." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, well, the black ones work the best," Harry said. "I had a blue one once, but it ran out of ink faster and the feather broke during the first week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
