Challenge # 2
House: Ravenclaw
Prompt: Write a story about 2 characters; one MUST be from your house. I chose Myrtle (Ravenclaw) and Olive Hornby (unknown, but for my purposes Slytherin)
"Get out of here you bug-eyed freak!" Olive Hornby yelled at Myrtle. "You always ruin everything!" She attempted to clean up the spilled potion.
"I'm so sorry Olive! I never meant to turn your hair green! Oh why can't I do anything right?" Tears streamed down Myrtle's face as she attempted to help Olive. In doing so she knocked Billywig stingers into the remnants of the potion with her elbow, causing a huge explosion. Within minutes everyone in the dungeon was covered from head to foot in boils.
"Everyone to the hospital wing," Professor Slughorn cried.
"Hmmm isn't it funny how only Myrtle managed to escape the potion?" Olive teased Myrtle about her face, despite being in pain herself. She sneered then walked out of the room.
Myrtle headed into the nearest bathroom instead of heading to the hospital wing. "I swear one of these days Olive will regret making fun of me," she sniffed. "I can't help it my glasses are so big, its all Mummy could afford." She was still crying a half hour later when she heard someone enter the room. She listened for a moment before stepping out of the stall. "Hey boys aren't supposed to be here!" She glanced up, straight into the eyes of a basilisk.
Several hours later Olive entered the same bathroom. "Are you still in here crying Myrtle? Moaning, moping Myrtle with your bug-eyed glasses and acne riddled-f…" the words died on her lips as she spotted Myrtle's arm lying sprawled across the floor. "Myrtle?" Olive crept closer only to scream when Myrtle's ghost answered from across the room.
"I'm ok Olive. Why do you ask?" Olive screamed louder then fainted. "What did I say?" a perplexed Myrtle wondered aloud, before shrugging and disappearing.
