Hey guys, I know you've been dying for a chapter so here it is slightly early but only because it was requested and i had a little time on Monday so i wrote...
Also the beginning of this is based on a funny pic I was sent that was more than likely from tumbler ;)
Albus
"God! I got dad's stupid chocolate frog card again!" James whines
"Damn it! So did I!" I tell him when I open my chocolate frog card, "at least it's a good jumper," I say
"Oh my God the boy who lived. I'll trade!" Lotus asks
"No give it to me!" Amelia begs
"What ones did you two get?" James asks
"Well I got longbottoms," lotus says
"And I got Luna's," Amelia tells us
"Bagsy Luna," James and I say at the simultaneously, I know why James wanted her and I did too for the same reason. She's hot.
"I'm older," James protests
"Why don't you two rock, paper, wizards on it?" Amelia suggests
"Fine," I say. We pound our fists on the palm of our other hand and chant 'rock, paper, wizards' wizards are like scissors but you use your wand and they defeat paper and are defeated by rock.
"Yessss!" James cries after choosing rock when I chose wizards. I sigh and take Professor Longbottom's card from Lotus and giving him my Dad's.
"What are you doing?" Dana asks as she sits next to me
"We just traded frog cards, James got Luna's" I pout, she laughs
"And what did you get?"
"Longbottom's" I say
"That's not too bad..." She says
"Are you kidding me!? Luna is so hot!" I see Dana's face drop but dismiss it and think nothing of it. Rose slaps my arm playfully and I ignore her.
"Hey James you haven't used the map have you?" I asked
"Are you kidding? Of course I haven't, dad'll kill me if he finds out I'm still using it."
"Can I borrow it please?"
"No! He kill both of us if he finds out you were in on it. What do you need to for anyway?"
"I tend to get restless in the night," I tell him truthfully
"Well I'm not moving it from its current safe position. It's not worth the risk," James tells me
"I wish Dad gave me his cloak, I'd make much better use out of it then you!" I sulk
"I'm only following instructions! I'm supposed to be the responsible adult here,"
"You are nor responsible or an adult my friend!" Rose giggles to James
"How!?"
"Well, when you were ten-"
"We agreed we would never talk of that again!" James interrupts before she can finish her sentence... That was a funny time. Just then Bluebell walks in with Danny, the muggle born from the first day. They come and sit with our big group which is split up in different conversations, they both sit opposite me.
"Dana, what is up with your dumb cat!?" I say to her as it struts up and climbs onto the table skilfully and only then realising that James, Walker and Josh have left.
"I thought I told you to leave sniffles alone!" Rose tells me off
"I thought I told you, family comes first!" I snap jokingly
"It's ok," Dana joins in, "sniffles doesn't care, do you sniffs?" She coos and I pretend to gag earning another slap from Rose which made Lotus and Danny laugh when I sarcastically hold my arm in pain
"Ouch!" I joke laughing with Danny and Lotus
"Just remember I'm still trying to get that forgetfulness potion mastered and I can accidentally slip a bit into your drink, by accident of course or even a spell that I've mastered... That wouldn't be very pleasant would it? Waking up and not remembering your own name... It might even go wrong..." She teases
"Ha ha, very funny!" I retort
"I can help you with your forgetfulness potion if you like" Bluebell speaks for the first time I've heard.
"Thanks Blue, I'd like that,"
"It's ok" she says
"My lovely cousin here can't help me, you see he has a serious case of stupid-syndrome," rose jokes
"One day... You're going to need me and I'm going to know all the answers to your unanswered questions that no one else can tell you," I smirk, "I'm Albus by the way,"
"Blue," she replies smiling at me. I turn to Dana when her cat doesn't stop purring.
"Please. For the love of the ministry of magic, shut up," I say to the cat. It's so annoying, it's just there everywhere I turn
"Sorry, that was my fault I was stroking him" Dana says
"Well stop!"
"Sorry," she stops realising she'd carried on self consciously. We all laugh a little before being interrupted again
"Well. Well. Well." I turn to be greeted by the face of my only enemy, the only person who makes me want to punch a hole through his face.
"Oh yay," blue mutters sarcastically to herself rolling her eyes
"Hey bell," he says with that same horrible high pitched voice of his
"It's Bluebell or Blue but Bluebell to you." She said abruptly, not making eye contact. Hey! That rhymed
"Nice to see you too... Anyway how's life, how's ravenclaw?" I didn't like how he said ravenclaw, as if he knew something, with that sickening smirk on his face, I wanted to wipe it right off.
"It's brilliant," she smiled quite convincingly, "how's slytherin?" She replied. His face dropped so that was obviously not the reaction he was hoping for which made me so smug seeing I got my wish, the smirk was wiped off of his face, just not by me.
"See you later blue, bye potter and other losers,"
"It's bluebell to you!" She says angrily as he walks away sniggering
"Wow, he's the one with stupid-syndrome!" I state making the table giggle
"I know that all too well," Blue says
"How?" Rose asks
"We used to be friends when we were younger believe it or not." She says
"Oh wow," I reply not wanting to push it further and not knowing what else to say without doing just that.
"Imagine being friends with that!" Lotus says
"I don't think I can..." Danny jokes
I wake up from a dreamless sleep sometime in the early morning. I sit up and look around our dorm and see everyone's asleep. Danny is snoring as per usual.
I find I need to walk around so I push and whip the covers away so that I can slide out of bed easily. I tip toe to
James who is fast asleep and search silently around his bed to see if I could find Dad's map, who knows who's wondering around the castle. First, I look under his pillow which, knowing him he would probably consider 'safe'. Then I look in his bedside draw but i can't find it. Where would i put it if i were James...? I riffle through his bag and its not there either so I put myself in his shoes and kind of guide myself under his bed I don't see it straight away but soon realise he's tucked it under his mattress which I can see because his bed frame has panels. How am I meant to get that out without him waking up and shouting at me? Magic! I rack my brain for spells that might help me until I find the perfect one. I enchant it and it slips out just like that. It begins to fly away but I catch it just in time.
"Yes!" I whisper and James begins to toss and turn so I think he's about to wake up but luckily he doesn't so I tip toe out of the dorm and wonder around aimlessly.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good" I chant-whisper to the map soon it slowly reveals itself like ink splodges shaping into the contents of the map. Using my wand as a torch i wonder around. There are a few teachers wondering around too and the caretaker I can't place anything interesting though. Until I see something moving, there's no name, it just comes up as a dot.
Thanks for reading guys, follow, favourite, review etc, you know you want to.
