OLD RUMORS ABOUT the fact that Harry Potter was going out with Elara Tonks seemed to interest a great number of people, most of them girls, yet Elara found herself happily impervious to gossip over the next few weeks. After all, it made a very nice change to be talked about because of something that was making her happier than she could remember being for a very long time, rather than because she had been involved in horrific scenes of Dark Magic.
"You'd think people had better things to gossip about," said Elara, as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry's legs and reading the Daily Prophet. "Three dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a hippogriff tattooed across your chest."
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail, of course" said Elara, turning a page of the newspaper idly. "Same thing as fourth year."
"Thanks," said Harry, grinning. "And what did you tell her Ron's got?"
"A Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where."
N.E.W.T.s were approaching and they were therefore forced to study for hours into the night. On one such evening Elara and Harry were sitting beside the window in the common room, supposedly finishing their Herbology homework but in reality reliving a particularly happy hour they had spent down by the lake at lunchtime, Hermione dropped into the seat between him and Ron with an unpleasantly purposeful look on her face.
"I want to talk to you, Harry."
"What about?" said Harry suspiciously.
Only the previous day, Hermione had told him off for distracting Elara when she ought to be working hard for her examinations.
"The so-called Half-Blood Prince."
"Oh, not again," he groaned. "Will you please drop it?"
