Hello all!
Here is chapter 9 for your reading pleasure. I own none of JKR�s
characters, more�s the pity. Kiara, her parents, and anyone not
recognizable from the books are my own creations. I�m making no money off this, so please don�t sue me.

Thanks again to the lovely people who reviewed. Much appreciated!

Chapter 9: A Smile in Potions Lab - Almost

Kiara spent most of her summer fielding questions from her friends. Cordelia had told the other girls about her
suspicions and all five of them bombarded Kiara with questions about the four
boys remaining on Cordelia�s list.
Kiara, although perplexed as to why her friends were so interested in
these boys in particular, answered honestly.
Three of the boys, one of whom was Charlie, she thought were rather nice
and she liked them well enough. The
fourth, she did not care for all that much.
Cordelia, Wendy, Eugenie, Rosie, and Melanie, delighted that their field
had narrowed again, crossed that boy�s name off and concentrated on the
remaining three. They decided, however,
to leave off asking any more questions until after school started again.

When her usual letter from school arrived, Kiara was startled to see
that, along with her list of books and equipment, there was a shiny, silver
badge with the letter �P� on it. Her
friends squealed with delight when they heard that she�d been chosen as the
newest Gryffindor prefect.

On September first, she was at King�s Cross rather early, determined to
be available to any younger student who might need help. Once on the train, she attended the Prefects�
meeting, and then spent the rest of the time alternating between chatting with
her friends, patrolling the corridors, and trying to keep Fred and George
Weasley, and their friend Lee Jordan, who were starting their first year, out
of trouble.

After
settling into her usual routine at Hogwarts, Kiara was startled one day when,
looking at the notice board in the Gryffindor common room, she saw a note about
Potions labs. The note stated that,
starting the following Saturday, the Potions lab would be open every Saturday
morning to all students in fifth year or higher, from five in the morning until
seven. That Friday night, Kiara set her
alarm clock to four-thirty in the morning.
The next morning, when Snape walked into the Potions Lab, he expected to
find no one there, as he had for the past several years. He was a bit startled, therefore, to see
Kiara at one of the workbenches, quietly setting out utensils. She noticed him enter the room and gave him
her usual bright smile.

�Good morning, Professor,� she said, still
smiling.

�Good morning, Miss Connon,� he replied, looking surprised still.

�You look surprised, sir,� she said. �Doesn�t anyone else make use of
these labs?�

�You are the first,� he said, as he walked up to the board. �It seems no
one else is willing to get up so early on a Saturday morning, not even to
better their chances at their OWLs or NEWTs.�

�What should I work on, Professor?� Kiara asked.

�You may consider this a free period, Miss Connon,� Snape replied. �You
can work on something you�ve been having trouble with or, if you have an idea
you wish to try out, you may experiment.�

�Thank you, sir,� Kiara said happily. �I think you can count on me being
here every Saturday morning.� As he sat
down at his desk to supervise her work, Snape once again almost smiled. He told himself that he was merely pleased
that she was dedicated enough to her work to be willing to give up her Saturday
mornings.

After that, Kiara�s
Saturdays were very busy. First, she
went to Potions lab, then, weather permitting, she had Quidditch practice or a
game, and finally, her friends usually cornered her with questions about Charlie
or the other two boys who remained on Cordelia�s list. By the time Easter break came around,
Cordelia was able to scratch one more name off the list after contriving to
have him help Kiara with a difficult Charms essay. While Kiara was grateful for the help,
Cordelia could see that there were none of the undercurrents there that
indicated particular regard. Having
narrowed the list down to Charlie, who was now in seventh year, and one other
boy, who was in sixth year, Kiara�s five friends were increasingly convinced
that it was Charlie who Kiara secretly liked.
However, the end of the year and their OWL exams arrived without them
being able to prove it and Charlie was graduating. They decided that the following year would be
decisive. If it really was Charlie,
Kiara would be pining for him, and if she didn�t pine, well, there was only one
other boy on the list.

Kiara�s friends are really determined,
aren�t they? <grin>
