Manon is a french name (yes I'm french!) There may be some inside jokes, but I hope you like it.

FIVE FRIENDS AND A STONE
By: Olivia, Marianne and Manon

With the help of: Eleonore and Oceane

CHAPTER 1: "Did you eat the owl!"

It was a beautiful morning or was it in the evening (I can never remember) when a group of five perfectly normal friends (I guess that's not completely true) had their lives changed by the arrival of the most important letter of their lives (I guess that if a letter arrived saying that their parents had died it would be more important but who cares?)

That day the five friends: Olivia, Oceane, Marianne, Eleonore and Manon had all gone to Marianne's house to enjoy a 'friendly' game of monopoly. Marianne Sparrow is the daughter Jack Sparrow the notorious murderer who is spending the rest of his days locked up in the wizard prison, Azkaban. Olivia De Mort's father is the world renowned evil mastermind (and the best cookie maker of all time) Lord Voldemort De Mort. He makes Marianne's father look like a puppy in comparison. Speaking of puppies, last time we checked Oceane Insertnamehere's parents were puppies. Eleonore Astalavista is an orphan and no one has ever met Manon Kiedjyejz parents but if they are as insane as she is, it is best if no one EVER meets them!

As I was saying, they were playing monopoly while Marianne's mom and Mr. De Mort were exchanging cookie recepies. Most people think of monopoly as a boring and long game but not with this group of freaks. Olivia was cheating with the help of her dad (she won before any of the others had rolled the dice); Marianne was trying to play with her eyes closed (she was broke within seconds of the start of the game… I wonder what happened to all her money. *Olivia does the puppy eyes as she counts her money*). Oceane was playing with her nose, like a dog… if dogs play monopoly. Eleonore wasn't really into the game she was reading the latest edition of 'How to make successful cookies and take over the world. The story of my life by Lord Voldemort De Mort.' If you're asking yourself why their game didn't last very long it was because of Manon. Oh. Manon. She made the board fall so many times that their games only lasted a few minutes and in the worst case a few seconds.

They had been playing for a while when they all got a bit hungry.

"Daddy can you bake us some cookies?" asked Olivia to her dad.

"Unfortunately, a certain Harry Potter has destroyed my body and I am now, only a soul without a body. I can not kill people, I can not cast spells and heck, I can't even go to the bathroom without anyone helping me but… worst of all… I CAN'T BAKE COOKIIIIIIIES!" He yelled. They stared at him in disbelief, some of them even cried a little.

"No…more…cookies?" Eleonore said shocked by the revelation. "I haven't been this sad since my parents died."

"Woof! To get our mind of this tragedy let's play some monop…" Oceane started, but before she could finish her sentence… CRASH. Manon had slipped on her way back from the bathroom, fallen unto the board, the glass table on which it was placed on was shattered and she had crashed into Marianne's mom's sharp object collection which she keeps under the table.

"Damn it, Manon can't you be a little more careful!' exclaimed Olivia.

"Yeah! And stop that! You're putting blood all over our new carpet!"

"I think this sharp pencil just burst one of my arteries." Gasped Manon.

"Oh don't be such a drama queen, It's just a flesh wound." Scowled Eleonore.

"I can see my bone!" said Manon.

"Yeah? Well I can see it too you want me to reward you for that! Stop thinking you're more important than us because both your parents are alive!" said Eleonore as she burst into tears.

"Both Oceane's parents are alive and I think there's a fork stuck in my foot!"

Everyone would've continued screaming at Manon if it hadn't been for the five owls that swooped in from the closed window. They neatly dropped a letter in each of the girls' hands and left (Manon's owl was almost as clumsy as she was: it forgot to stop hit Manon in the face and made her stumble backwards.) They all wondered what was written in the letter:

"I wonder what's written in the letter." Said Eleonore.

"Yeah. So do… Agh!" Manon tried saying and ended up coughing up blood and feathers.

"Ugh…. Manon did you eat the owl?" asked Marianne reproachfully.

"NO! That's my blood I'm coughing out! I need to get to a hospital. Quick!"

"Of course you do… now let's open these letters!" said Olivia.

"I agree… and I hope these are from the Puppy club." Added Oceane

Olivia rolled her eyes at Oceane before they all (with the exception of Manon who was playing dead on the stained carpet) opened their letters.

XOXOXO

"What does xoxoxo mean?" asked Oceane.

Olivia shuddered. "I think it's an expression of love and affection." And she ran to the bathroom to puke a little. The others (with the exception of Manon who seemed to enjoy lying on the floor without breathing) observed the other objects in the envelope. The cats had all died from getting eaten by the cookies who tasted like complete crap compared to Mr. De Mort's. There were still other pieces of paper.

"Finally! My first Hogwarts letter!" exclaimed Olivia, though, on the inside she felt like killing a moose because she knew she'd be stuck with her freak idiot friends 24.7.

"Hogwarts! Hog… Warts! HAHAHAHAHA! Get it! Get it!" cried Marianne before bursting into a fit of uncontrollable giggles. Everyone ignored her. They were all used to her bad (and some times inappropriate) humour.

"Hey they misspelled my name." gasped Manon before faking her death once more.

"Manon! Stop bleeding! I'm not sure if they'll accept your ticket if it's soaked in your blood!" said Marianne's mom.

Out of the five friends only two of them had no idea what was happening.

"Manon, I'm used to your bad pranks and all, but this one is just pathetic! You really think I'm going to buy this load of rubbish? And what kind of stupid name is McGonagall, I thought you'd be more creative!" Said Eleonore to Manon's corpse.

Oceane read and re-read the letter frowning even more each time and scratching her head with her foot.

"This isn't from the puppy club!" She said finally when they were all sitting in Manon's hospital room. Turn's out she wasn't faking it after all.

They were all gathered around Manon's bed, sick with worry about their friend…not really. They had all gone home before Manon even woke up!

Once they were all home and none of them were bleeding internally they all day dreamed about what they'd do at Hogwarts: Whether it was traumatising fellow classmates, spending one day without bursting an artery, playing fetch all day, baking the best cookies ever or proving to the world that blond Canadian's could be smart all the dreams were filled with joy!
