- Miss 1004
Part 1: Head of a Chicken
Marie and Violet grinned as their boyfriends argued along the long corridor towards the entrance to the courtyard while Michelle rolled her eyes. "Will you two EVER stop?" she exclaimed.
"But Michelle," replied Jared with a pleading look. "Nick says that HIS chocolate frog card collection is better than mine! …Violet, tell him that my collection is better than his!"
Violet glared at Jared and sighed. Kevin gasped and yelled, "LOOK! A GIANT SPIDER!" "ARGGGHH!" screamed Jared, flailing and jumping into Violet's arms. Violet rolled her eyes at him once more.
"Really Kev," said Marie, "For once, why don't you stop intimidating poor Jared," she eyed him with her eyebrow dangerously arched. "and do something more…well I dunno… PRODUCTIVE?"
"Hmmm…" Kevin scratched his head, appearantly deep in thought while Violet was having trouble trying to pry off Jared's fingers off her neck. They all walked off silently to the courtyard. When they arrived, Marie slipped on her glasses and began to read 'Secure Jobs for Insecure Boyfriends' in a corner. Michelle sat beside her and braided Violet's hair.
The group first got to know each other when they arrived to Durmstrang their first year. They happened to be the few students with an American heritage, (except Michelle, who was a Korean) and made friends with each other. Marie Moore was a girl who had wavy blond hair with blue eyes; she always had a book clamped tightly to the side of her arm, or a bag slung over her shoulder. Although she looked like a rule-abiding girl, she could turn very hyper after a few cups of caffeine. Kevin Parmley (Marie's boyfriend) and Jared Collins (Violet's boyfriend) was always a two-some; making jokes with each other and causing trouble around the entire school. Michelle Park was an Asian; she had shoulder length brownish-black hair with yellow streaks in it, brave (more like having no second thoughts whatsoever), standing up to people bigger than her (although she herself was not a small person) and making people laugh. Last was Violet Erickson, a shy but brave girl with brown hair with tinges of purple (which Michelle loved; "purple on brown hair? Its so rebel-ish! I love it!") in it; shoulder length. Her eyes were blue. (she was more of a serious student than Michelle, but somehow, they got along perfectly.)
"Woah," blurted Kevin, making everyone's head turn. "Krum." He pointed his finger towards the slouched figure striding towards the courtyard.
Several of the girls sitting by the tree giggled and hurriedly put on their makeup while others patted their hair. Michelle heard one of them say, "Do you think he'll take a picture with me?"
Krum walked towards them and sat down. He muttered something to Marie and she nodded, her face dissapearing behind her book. Krum got up and walked off towards the castle.
"What'd he say?" asked Michelle curiously. "Oh, nothing," she said, still deeply interested in her book. "Just saying that Durmstrang will be needing a new Headmaster this year." She paused, as if to tell her friends that she didn't mention something important.
"Did he say anything else?" asked Jared casually (Violet could tell that he was getting excited). "Hmmm…" said Marie. "He said the school will be moving its location," she said, eyeing Jared's bewildered face. "But only until we find a new Headmaster." She finished hastily.
"WHAT!" he exclaimed, dumbfounded. "But…"
Marie cut him off, annoyed that she was interrupted once more. "Yes, we are moving the location of our school. Now if you don't mind, Im going to get back to my book. It might help you get a secure job in the future. NOT that you need it." said Marie sarcastically, emphasizing the 'Not.'
Jared stared at her open-mouthed. He swirved to look at Violet, who gave a nodd of approval to Marie, and turned around, muttering something like, "When would he ever learn?" and sat still until her braids were finished.
Jared looked up at the darkening sky and muttered, "Wish I was Headboy…"
"Now, now, Jared," said Kevin. "You don't want Vi to get upset again, do you?" He gulped and said, "No." while Violet pretended she hadnt heard a thing.
Violet and Marie were good friends, but they were once rivals; the head of Durmstrang the previous year (Karkaroff) had trouble deciding the position of Headgirl between the two. But Marie got the badge in the end. Violet wasn't very happy when she found out.
"Its getting late," said Michelle after some time. "we better get back inside."
"POP!"
Violet, Marie, and Michelle turned towards the direction where the noise came from. Jared's head had turned into that of a chicken's. Kevin was laughing his head off. "That suits you, Jared! A chicken head for a chicken brain!" Michelle and Marie laughed along. Kevin was positively howling now. Violet frowned towards her boyfriend and turned around. "Marie, when will you be finished with that book you're reading?"
Well, that's the first part of the story! I hope you enjoyed it…. Chao!
