A/N: I posted this a while back, and decided to change a lot of stuff. So sorry to anyone who read it before. Just had to fix a couple stuff. Oh yeah, and I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I do however own Clark, Amie- well whoever is mine you should be able to guess. The rest belongs to the great and powerful J.K Rowling. Smile. ; ) Please Review.
"Adventures of the Weird Kind"
Chapter One: Just another Day
It was afternoon and a Sunday. But of course that didn't make much of a difference; once again I was stuck in the library with Clark going over some stupid facts for a test that was tomorrow in History of Magic. Sometimes I wonder about the boy, Clark comes off as being as dumb as a log. On the other hand he's a genius at most things like chess or Quidditch. But when it comes to school, I think I'd have better luck trying to potty train my brother's puppy Max.
"Where did the final battle take place?" I asked looking up from the text book, and notes, that we were studying with.
"Somewhere on Earth?" said Clark grinning as I sent him a glare.
"Seriously Clark, this test is tomorrow. You can't seriously think that your going to pass the test with answers like that." I muttered shaking my head. "Summer school its going to be again if your not careful."
"Can't I just copy you again?" begged Clark his voice low as he bent across the table toward me, a puppy dog expression on his face.
"No. We almost got caught last time." I snapped angrily edgily looking toward the librarian. "Besides, if you want to be a Auror later in life you have got to know something about the history of being a Auror. You need to know all about the reasons why the heck they are sending you all out there to kill people."
"But History of Magic is so boring." whined Clark moodily sinking in his chair, "It would be so much easier for both of us if you just let me cheat, you know I'm never going to get this."
"We're going to have to try." I said leaning back in my chair as Clark merely groaned rolling his eyes back so all that I could see were the whites.
Sighing I went back to looking at the notes not noticing someone sneak up behind me. A moment later I gave a small yip and was yanked backward nearly falling out of my chair. Tilted back in the chair at that angle I could see Jamie's face backward, though the biggest grin apparent on his face.
"Hello brainiac." he said in his usual British accent though I fought back the smile that was fighting to surface.
"You should know better then to do that Jamie, you could have given me a heart attack." I said angrily though the smile broke through at the end as his face shifted to the confused 'what did I do' look.
"Sorry Amie you know I was only joking. Well now on to other things-"he said righting my chair and turning to Clark who sat with a silly grin on his face, "Are you two prepared for the game on Tuesday?"
I shook my head at my other best friend's one track mind. While other guys were obsessing over girls, and Quidditch it seemed like Jamie only thought of Quidditch, and absolutely nothing else.
"Amie, do you have those new moves down?" said Jamie his face concerned looking, as if he were talking about some life or death event. "Are you ready for the game?"
"Jamie I've practiced those stupid chaser moves for two hours every day for the last two weeks. I think I've got it down by now." I said grinning as Jamie smiled his brown eyes lighting up. "But seriously Jamie, can't we talk about this later? Clark seriously has got to get some study time in before tomorrow."
"It's a test on the bloody Voldermont war thing again." said Clark to his questioning gaze leaning back in his chair a bored look coming back across his face.
"We are having absolutely no luck whatsoever as you can guess." I said shaking my head staring at Jamie, "The boy is worse then even you when it comes to academics."
"You say that as if it is a bad thing. I'll have you know I've got lots of good marks-"
"First year Flying lessons doesn't count Jamie." I said laughing at Jamie's fake crestfallen face.
"It so does count. I got top of my class! It's on my transcript!" said Jamie in a defending way, his voice all proud and mighty.
"Amie, can't I just go play outside now? Your like my bloody mother sometimes." cried Clark. "Besides who exactly cares at all about the stupid war? He was just the first Dark lord to fall, his death only postponed all of the rise of all the Dark Lords that came after that. It was not the beginning of time, and it so was not the most important thing that has ever happened. So why should we study about it?"
"Because teachers and school is evil and they want to make our lives miserable." I said before shoving the book toward him. "Read this now or I really will turn into your mother, or rather will go get you mother. That seems a lot easier; I don't think I could pull off the whole red head thing."
"Amie!"
Turning I saw Rosie Emeralds come in, the other chaser besides me on the Quidditch team. Smiling I got up, abandoning the boys who began to talk immediately after I left in their usual way, most likely about Quidditch or something like that.
"Hey Rosie," I said smiling at the older girl who was practically bursting about something. Her cheeks were a faint red, her blue eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
"Damien Green wants to ask you out!" she cried before nearly jumping me in a hug.
My eyes wide I pulled away. "What did you say?"
"Damien wants to ask you out! He told Ally who told India who told Jane who told me who is now telling you!" said the girl her expression as jolly as if Christmas had come again.
I stood in shock for a moment. Damien was one of the hottest kids in our school. Well he wasn't all that hott to me, he just wasn't my type. But he was the most popular, and a really nice guy. Though a seventh year, though that was only a year older then me I guess. Still that was a shocker.
"No wonder he wanted private lessons with me." I said blushing slightly as Rosie started jumping up and down again.
"Oh! I should get back to the common room! Jane was in the middle of telling me something else- I just had to come tell you!" cried the red head before she turned and left, her robes flying out behind her.
Still blushing I returned to my seat where my two best friends sat talking, seemingly oblivious to me even coming back.
When they did notice a evil grin spread across their faces, one I recognized from all the times when we broke the rules (which happens a lot.)
"So Amie, do you want to go fishing?" asked Clark his tone mysterious with the usual twinkle in his baby blue eyes.
"Fishing? Like over summer break?" I asked like he was mad.
"No, like fishing in the lake." said Jamie smirking slightly as my jaw dropped.
"Did your mothers drop you on your heads to much? You two are mad! We'll be expelled" I asked again as if they had said the most unheard of, I can even go as far as to say the look that I was giving him was as if he had just said that he had become a cheer leader.
"That's only if we get caught." said Clark winking at me.
"Oh god you're so suicidal. Aren't the two of you forgetting a rather important six legged creature that lives at the bottom of that lake? Or what about those bloody mermaids? They are not exactly nice to wizards who want to eat their fish!"
"So what if there is some little drawbacks? It adds to all the fun." said Jamie.
"No way, that is to nuts for me to even think of doing." I said at last shaking my head and crossing my arms across my chest. The boys gave me a disappointed look, with their cute doggie faces on that made my heart almost break.
"You have to come." said Jamie.
"Come on Amie we all need an adventure. A scene change to get away from all this studying-"
"Dying I don't consider one of the top things on my 'Adventure' list." I said crossly looking around the library to make sure no one was near by to hear their insane things they were saying.
"I'll tell Professor Lee it was you who set his desk on fire." said Jamie warningly at last when I did not respond to their puppy dog looks like he wanted.
"You wouldn't!" I cried no longer caring if anyone heard us.
"He might not but you know I will." said Clark happily leaning back in the library chair.
They knew they had got me and I hated every moment of their smirking. I just sat back in the chair and sighed nodding my head not really listening to all the things they were squealing about, mostly the plans for the 'fishing trip'. Mostly I was thinking about what I was going to do about Damien, he wouldn't be that bad of a guy to date- I mean he actually did have a brain… He also was a good Quidditch player even if he was a Ravenclaw.
The boys looked as if Christmas had come early and were to murmuring to each other hurriedly about how to plan my suicidal mission even as we headed back to the dorm, for me to rest for a while and for them to make more concrete ideas about how to get out of the castle.
"-then we will do it tonight." said Jamie as soon as I tuned back in. I shrank down in my seat on the Gryffindor dorm couch just as Clark and Jamie began to ascend the stairs to the to their boys dorm. I fingered my time turner for a moment, and then stared up at the guys.
"I hate you guys." I called.
"We love yah to." They said in unison as they poked their heads out from behind the stairway grinning at me before disappearing again and going back up the stairs.
