This is my first fanfic I've wrote so please bear with me. This fic will have newer songs and tech that wasn't around during harry's teenage years. And also this chapter was redone because I wasn't that happy with it. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1: Water Jets
Emilia Lupin sat behind the couch in her living room. The old tan couch made a good hiding spot for the young girl. Emilia had a plan. She had snuck off to a joke shop a few months ago in diagon alley. While her father was at flourish and blotts she had purchased water jets. For a month and 14 days (of course she was counting) she had hid those powerful water jets under her bed. Today was the day she would finally let them off inside the main level of her house.
Why? First, why not? And second, because her muggle Ipod was taken away exactly 5 days and 3 hours ago. It was taken away by Remus because she pulled a prank a lot like this one. But there wasn't much to lose now! And this prank was for good reason! When the water jets are released she would have time to run upstairs. Moony would run downstairs to see what the commotion was, and while he was distracted, Emilia could run upstairs and into his room. She would have just enough time to grab the Ipod from his desk drawer and run. Chances of getting away without getting caught? Slim. maybe she could make up something about an owl flying through and setting something off?
She gripped the water jet tightly. This seemed like a good a time as any to out her plan into action. The counted down in her head '3...2...1.. Blast off!' the water jetted out like a rocket! Water instantly soaked everything in sight. Puddles were already forming on the floor! The force of the water was incredible too!
Her knuckles were white with the strength she was holding on with. Emilia felt her hands slowly start to slip. Her hands slipped farther and farther down. Emilia tried to re adjust the jet but as soon a one hand let go the jet took off! It went flying around the room, crashing and breaking everything in it's path.
Emilia was frozen in shock. She watched helplessly as the object smashed and soaked everything in the room. Then she heard footsteps. Heavy footsteps ran down the stairs and into the living room. Remus was downstairs and distracted, that meant it was go time. As she bolted up the stairs she head Moony's muffled gasp. Emilia sprinted down the hall and down to the very last door. She flung it open with such a force that the whole door frame shook. The young girl flew over to the desk and flung the drawer open. Maybe she opened it a little too hard… she cringed at the loud crash of the drawer colliding into the ground, it's contents spilling every which way. She grabbed the Ipod out of the rubble, stumbled backwards, spun around to face the door, and started running out of the room.
That's when she ran into something. Something that smelled of chocolate and lavender. Something that felt softish and firmish at the same time. Thankfully the softish, firmish, chocolate and lavender smelling thing caught her upper arm.
As Emilia regained her balance she heard the distinct lack of the sound of rushing water. It was eerily quiet. She looked up as she realized that the thing holding her arm was in fact a person. Her grey blue eyes bet the furious brown eyes of Remus lupin. Suddenly the weight of what she'd done came crashing down on her. What had she been thinking? She only thought of adventure and her Ipod, nothing else. Now she was caught. Now what? Maybe she could explain?
"Um… did you hear something downstairs?" she mumbled. It would normally be hard to hear, but because Remus was a werewolf she knew that with his good hearing he could hear what she said. "It sounded like water… it stopped now... but I could have sworn-" she stopped as she saw the thunderous look she was receiving.
"Right. Let's go downstairs shall we?" Moony said in a deceptively calm voice. Oh she was so dead… it couldn't be that bad though. Maybe she'd be grounded for a little. Or have her precious Ipod taken away for longer. But she could deal with whatever he threw her way. hopefully...
