ME: Here's the story I mentioned in 'Sydney's Nervous Breakdown', for those who read it:)
CLAIRE: So, this another Clyrnin story?
ME: Kind of...;)
SHANE: You really do ship Claire and Myrnin, don't you?
ME: Well, I'd be shipping me and Myrnin more than those two, but I guess I'm living through Claire!:D
MYRNIN: Heyyyyyyy! :D :D
SHANE: ...
ME: Hey! *hugs Myrnin*
MYRNIN: I just drank from some drunk guy!
ME: Ew.
SHANE: I can tell.
ME: Ok, here you go!
SHANE&CLAIRE: Meaghan owns nothing!
LUNA: Anyone seen any Nargles around?
Chapter 1
"Claire!" Myrnin called, running into the house.
"What?"
"Get down here!"
I went downstairs to find him in the living room with Michael, Shane and Eve.
"Yeah?"
"Amelie wants all of you to come to the lab for a while."
"Why?"
"Apparently, vampires are getting vicious. They're hiding a few select humans, and I'm assuming Michael wishes to accompany you all. Pack your bags."
We all packed quickly, and Myrnin threw us through a portal, and followed after us.
"Myrnin?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"This isn't the lab."
I looked up into the face of a bearded man.
"Hello. I am Professor Dumbledore. Who are you?"
I stood up. "Hello, Professor. My name is Claire Danvers. This is Eve Rosser, Shane Collins, Michael Glass, and Myrnin. We seem to be lost. Where are we?"
"Hogwarts."
"Hogwarts? Is that anywhere near Morganville?"
"Well, where is Morganville?"
"Texas."
"You are a long way from home. You are in England!"
"Oh... Myrnin, we need to fix the portals!"
"Well done, Claire."
"Well, you are clearly not human!" Professor Dumbledore exclaimed.
"Sir, I do believe the same could be said about you!"
"I am a wizard."
"I am a vampire. As is Michael."
Professor Dumbledore stared at him for a moment before smiling to himself.
"Well, if you're going to be here for a while, we'd better get you sorted!" He brought us into an office and placed an old hat on Eve's head.
The hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"
The hat was then placed on Michael's head, and it said, "Gryffindor!" again.
On Shane, the hat took its time before saying, "Slytherin!"
On Myrnin, the hat took even longer before saying, "Ravenclaw!"
The hat was then placed on my head.
You are smart. And brave.
'I'm more smart than brave," I thought.
Oh, yes? Well then... "Ravenclaw!" it shouted.
Dumbledore smiled. "I'll show each of you to your dorms."
He showed us separately. Me, Shane, and Myrnin waited as he took Michael and Eve to Gryffindor.
"So, I'm all alone, then?" Shane asked.
I kissed him. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
"Claire! You're going with him."
"So?" I asked. "Oh. Jealous?"
"Maybe..."
"Aw, don't be!"
Dumbledore came back. "Mr. Collins."
Shane followed him, leaving me with Myrnin.
"So, we're roommates?" he asked.
"So it would seem."
Dumbledore came back. "Come."
We followed him to the Ravenclaw common room.
"Because you are not in any year, you will sleep down here."
A girl sat on the couch, smiling. Dumbledore introduced her.
"This is Luna Lovegood. Luna, this is Claire and Myrnin." We shook hands. "You may go to classes with her if you wish. She'll wake you up for breakfast. Night!" He left.
"You're probably real tired, night!" Luna called.
I was actually wide awake, and Myrnin doesn't sleep much. We sat up talking about Hogwarts for a while before I fell asleep. Luna woke us up in the morning.
"Breakfast!" She dragged us down to the 'Great Hall' - which was magnificient - and sat us down at a table.
"Hello, Luna!" a girl's voice called.
"Ginny! This is Claire and Myrnin," she introduced.
"Hi." She looked back at Luna. "There's new people in Gryffindor, too. I've been asked to show them around. They seem pretty cool."
I tuned out the conversation. I saw Shane walk in with a blonde boy.
"Who's that?" I asked Luna.
"Draco Malfoy," she replied. "Wait, who's he talking to?"
"Shane, my friend." Boyfriend, I mentally corrected myself. Wonder why I didn't say that?
"Oh."
Luna's first class was Herbology, and she was with the Gryffindors. I saw Michael and Eve there, and Myrnin and I went over to talk to them.
"Poor Shane!" Eve exclaimed.
"He seems fine, Eve. Looks like he made friends with some guy."
"Oh, well that's good."
We tuned in to the class. Professor Sprout was telling the group about Mandrakes. She helped all of us, knowing we wouldn't be very experienced with magical plants.
"Good, Eve!"
Eve was a natural with plants! But potions was my subject - and Myrnin's. I didn't even realise Shane was in that class until it was over. He glared at me and Myrnin, we'd been working at a cauldron together. Professor Slughorn had been talking to us all class, amazed at how we'd been doing so well. Shane glared at us, but left the room as soon as we noticed.
Next was Defence Against the Dark Arts. And Professor Snape was talking about vampires.
"Now, perhaps our guests would like to tell us about vampires?" he asked.
Myrnin stood up.
"I don't know what to tell you," he laughed. "But, I'm happy to answer any questions." He nodded to me. "And my lovely little assistant," I blushed at his words, "who lives in close proximity to a lot of vampires, will also answer your questions too."
A girl raised her hand.
"Yes?"
She nodded to me. "Why do you live with vampires?"
"Well, I went to college in the town they run, and by the time I knew what they were, I couldn't leave."
"Why not?"
"They wouldn't let me."
Everybody looked shocked at this.
"The vampires run the whole town," I explained.
"But you couldn't leave?"
"Nobody leaves if the vampires don't want them to."
Later, Luna introduced us to some people in Gryffindor that Eve and Michael became friends with.
"This is Harry, Ron, and Hermione," Luna introduced. She gestured to us. "Claire and Myrnin."
"Nice to meet you!" Hermione squeaked, blushing. She was staring at Myrnin. Well, I know a crush when I see one!
"Hi," Myrnin and I said, smiling at them. Although I was under the impression that the houses didn't mix, Luna sat with them. Myrnin and I sat down, too.
"So, which of you are vampires?" Ron asked.
Hermione smacked him. "Myrnin, obviously!"
"How can you tell?" Ron asked.
"Well, after seeing Michael, surely even you can see the similarities!"
"Oh, yeah!" he exclaimed.
Hermione sighed. "I swear, its like you can hear the penny drop with him sometimes!"
Ron looked clueless. "Is that some Muggle thing?"
Hermione sighed again. "Muggles are non-wizarding folk," she explained to us. We nodded.
"Hey, Claire?" Michael whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Shane's looking over. You should probably get Myrnin to take his arm off you."
I blushed, and shook my head.
Michael looked shocked, but didn't mention it again. Myrnin's arm stayed wrapped around my shoulders.
When the bell rang, Shane came over to us.
"Claire?"
"Hi!" I hugged him.
"Myrnin's arm was around you for all of lunch!"
"So?"
"So? So!?"
"Oh, turn down the dramatics, Shane!"
"No! My girlfriend spends the whole of lunch with her crazy-ass vampire boss's arms around her, and tells me to turn down the dramatics!"
"Yeah! It didn't mean anything, Shane!"
"Oh, just piss off, Claire." He stalked away, leaving me speechless.
Tears fell involuntarily down my cheeks.
Myrnin came up and hugged me. I buried my face in his chest, staining his shirt with tears.
"Ssh, Claire, ssh," he murmured, smoothing my hair.
"That was a pretty obvious break-up, right?"
"Yes, I think so, little Claire," he sighed.
I choked on a sob, and tried to pull myself together. It didn't take long, and then Myrnin and I followed Luna to Care of Magical Creatures.
DRACO: Ha. Shane's MY friend now, bitches!
ME: Careful. I could kill you off. Hell, if the guy who played you in the movies (TOM FELTON) wasn't such a beaut, I would!:D
HARRY: Dude. Daniel Radcliffe not enough for you?
ME: Tom, Daniel, Rupert... Hell, the Phelps twins! :D
SHANE: So, basically, you'd do any guy from that movie?
ME: No. I'm too young! I'd meet them, though.
CLAIRE: You'd meet them?
ME: I'm Irish. Basically means I'd kiss them. Damn, that doesn't sound as cool:/
GINNY: Did I see that pairing right? In the description, I mean. Damn...
