Harry Potter Insanity Chapter 4

As Krystal and Billy went into the Great Hall for breakfast, they heard a few Hufflepuff girls complaining. "Honestly, how can anyone stay up so late with that much energy?!" one of them said and if people looked closely, she had bags underneath her eyes.

"Wow, you guys look like crap." Taylor said as she passed by. The girls glowered at her, but she ignored them.

"Well, that's what happens when Neko has a lot of sugar." Kailynn said as she was walking and reading her book at the same time.

"How could you hear us from all the way down there?" one of the girls asked.

"Well, you're not exactly quiet about your 'horrible' night." Krystal and Billy said and used their fingers to do quote marks. Callista walked into the Great Hall and she yawned widely and waved at Billy and Krystal sleepily.

"I'm tired." Callista said as she walked up to Billy and Krystal.

"I can see why, you practically stayed up all night." Krystal said. Callista sat next to them and put her head down.

"Uh…Neko? Shouldn't you be sitting at the Hufflepuff table?" Krystal asked as she poked Callista.

"I don't like it over there since I don't know anyone and they're too loud." Callista said.

"Just let her sit over here, it's not like something bad is going to--" Billy was interrupted by a high pitched scream and it seemed that Malfoy had toads in his shirt. Billy smirked and high-fived the twins. Krystal looked over at her brother and the twins suspiciously.

"What did you do?"

"Oh, we were just planning who our next victim was for a prank and it seemed that Malfoy was at the top of the list." Billy, Fred, and George said.

"What happened? I heard some chick scream bloody murder." Callista said rubbing her eyes.

"Billy and the twins did a prank on Malfoy." Krystal said as the Great Hall was full of laughter. Callista started laughing until she couldn't breathe. When Snape entered, the Great Hall hushed immediately except for Billy and the twins who were still howling in laughter.

"What exactly do you find funny, Maurer and Weasley?"

"Oh, we just harmlessly pranked Malfoy. Is that a problem, Severus?" Billy said raising an eyebrow.

"Careful now, Billy. He may make it so that way you have his overly large hooked nose if you anger him even further." Fred said as he faked fear.

"I doubt that, Fred, I'm quite sure I have enough annoyance to prevent that from happening." Krystal tried to shut her brother up, but she was too late.

"My, already on the first day you have a detention, Maurer."

Billy just shrugged and asked "When and where?"

"8:00, Dumbledore's office since he's the only one that can actually stand you."

"Hey, your call, not mine." Billy said as he shrugged and continued eating.

Snape gave him a loathing look and looked over at Fred and George. "You two will meet at my office at that same time so we can discuss your punishment."

"Aww! But we wanted to be with Dumbledore!" They said as they faked disappointment. Snape walked off without another word.

Callista yawned and said "What's that guy's problem? It was just a prank."

"Good old Severus doesn't have the same sense of humor as we do." George said.

"Correction: Severus doesn't even have a sense of humor." Billy said.

Krystal and Callista looked at each other and shrugged as they decided not to push it any further. Everyone received a schedule and got their things ready for their class.

Taylor, Callista, Kailynn, and Krystal went to Transfiguration. As they walked in, they saw Professor McGonagall standing behind her desk in front of the room. They all took a seat beside each other at one of the tables in the back. "Welcome to Transfiguration class, everyone. Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts." she said. "Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back."

She turned her desk into a pig and back again. "COOL! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED!" Callista said.

"I'm afraid you won't be learning that for a long time, Miss Vantrease."

"Then why bother showing it to us? You could have just shown us the first level of Transfiguration." Taylor said.

When Professor McGonagall gave her a stern look, Krystal said "Uh…I actually kind of agree. I mean, it's a great plan to get us interested in it and all, but--"

"Can't we just get on with the lesson--" Hermione started as she cut Krystal off, but then Krystal interrupted her.

"I'm not done talking yet." Professor McGonagall looked really annoyed and was tapping her foot.

"Are you done bickering yet, Miss Maurer and Miss Granger?"

Krystal suddenly smiled and said "Perhaps."

"Maybe." Taylor said since she and Krystal say this when someone asks a question that can have those answers.

"Possibly." they both said at the same time. Everyone in the classroom except for Kailynn and Callista looked at them oddly. Professor McGonagall did a face palm.

"I honestly don't think I'll ever get used to having even more Americans at this school."

"On come now! It's not all that bad! After all, we'll probably be the last Americans you'll ever have." Krystal said.

Callista, Kailynn, and Taylor all did a face palm. "Really, Tobi?" Taylor said in an annoyed and sarcastic manner.

"Yes!" Krystal said as she grinned. Professor McGonagall looked at them like she couldn't believe they were actually able to be at Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall then did another face palm and said "I might as well start the lesson since I'm not even sure what is going on." She cleared her throat and directed everyone's attention towards the matches on their desks. "You are to turn the match on your desk into a needle. I will check on your results in a few minutes, carry on."

"How the hell are we supposed to do this in three or four minutes if we don't even know how to even attempt it?" Taylor asked the other three quietly.

"I guess you picture the match turning into a needle in your head as you use magic on it." Kailynn said.

"HOLY SHNIKIES, MISA, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Callista said as she pointed at Kailynn's match which was now a needle.

"Didn't just explain it?" Kailynn asked annoyed.

Krystal shrugged and said "Might as well explain it again. You know Neko, her head goes blank sometimes."

"When I'm hyper."

"Yes, when she's hyper."

"Uh…Neko? What exactly did you have for breakfast?" Kailynn asked, but she was begging mentally that it wasn't--

"PANCAKES!" Callista said as if they were the best food in the world. Kailynn did a face palm and thought 'I knew it…'

"Would you shut up?" Malfoy asked annoyed.

"Screw you." Callista said as she continued concentrating. Kailynn shook her head and put her nose in one of her books since she was finished. Krystal and Taylor turned their matches into needles right before McGonagall came around to see how they did.

When McGonagall looked at their work, the bell rang which meant they had to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts class next. When they arrived, they again sat in the back. "W-welcome t-to D-defense Against the D-dark Arts class." Professor Quirrell said as he nervously fumbled with his turban. Krystal raised one of her eyebrows.

"I don't mean to be judgmental, but is this a joke? This guys looks like he would just run away screaming bloody murder if he got into a fight against an evil wizard." Krystal whispered to her friends. She then sniffed the air and plugged her nose.

"It smells like he let a freaking huge bag of garlic just sit in here too." Callista said as she also plugged her nose.

"To think I was actually looking rather forward to this class." Krystal said annoyed. "Sir? Can you explain to us why you have a turban? Do you have lice or something?"

"Oh, n-no. It w-was g-given t-to me by an A-African prince as a th-thank-you f-for g-g-getting rid of a z-zombie."

Krystal didn't looked convinced but decided to brush it off since she and her friends had to get working. The four girls thought Defense Against the Dark Arts was boring. "The guy can't even speak one sentence without stuttering! It's like we're dealing with a male and British version of Hinata." Taylor said as they walked out of the class when it ended.

"Well, he may be nervous since it's his first year teaching here." Kailynn said.

"DR. SUESS!!" Krystal said and got some stares from people. She rolled her eyes at them. "These people need to realize they're not dealing with normal Americans."

"It's okay, Tobi, we all get stares from them, especially me." Callista said.

"Of course you do, you get hyper just by breathing air and if that's not bad enough, they even give you sugar every day." Krystal said.

"Uh…aren't we going to Potions class?" Kailynn asked Krystal.

"Yeah, why?"

"You're going the wrong way."

Krystal looked around and realized she was heading towards History of Magic which was after Potions. She ran to her friends and said "They make this place way too confusing."

"Of course they do, they're British." Callista and Taylor said. They continued walking down the dungeons. All four of them shivered due to the low temperature. Krystal realized Snape loathed Harry just as much as he loathed her brother.

When Snape was taking the roll call, he paused at Harry's name. "Ah, yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our new-celebrity." Krystal heard Malfoy and his lackeys laugh, and she threw her text book at them, Snape's head snapped in her direction and the whole class stared at her.

She looked around at everyone and said "What?! My hand slipped!" Callista, Kailynn, and Taylor laughed silently while Snape gave her one of his famous "I despise you" expressions.

"Anyway, you are here to learn the subtle of science and exact art of potion-making." he began. Krystal couldn't believe that even though he barely spoke above a whisper, he had the class' attention better than McGonagall. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic."

"Of course it's not magic, it's science." Taylor whispered.

"I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses--"

"Would you shut up?" Callista said annoyed.

The class again went deadly silent. "Constant monotone lecturing annoys the hell out of me."

"What she said." Krystal spoke up. Snape gave them a loathing look.

"Both of you will be meeting at my office tonight at 8:00 to decide your punishment. Now, as I was saying, I can teach you many things and even how to stopper death; that is, if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." The room was silent again, only this time it wasn't caused by anyone interrupting Snape.

"Potter!" Snape said suddenly which caused the class to jump.

"God damn it…it's just like the freaking toaster…" Taylor muttered annoyed.

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Harry and Ron exchanged confused looks and Hermione shot her hand up in the air along with Callista. Krystal and Kailynn looked as her in amazement while Taylor had the look on her face to ask if the class was over yet.

"I don't know, sir," said Harry.

Snape's lips curled into a sneer and he siad "Tut, tut-clearly fame isn't everything." He continued ignoring Hermione and Callista's hand.

"Let's try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?" Callista put her hand down in annoyance while Hermione stretched her hand as high into the air as it would go without leaving her seat.

"I don't know, sir."

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh, Potter?"

Snape still ignored Hermione's hand. "What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfs bane?" At this, Hermione and Callista raised their hand up high, but Hermione stood up and her hand was stretching towards the ceiling.

"I don't know," Harry said quietly. "I think Callista and Hermione do, though, why don't you try them?" A few people laughed, but Snape did not look pleased.

"Sit down," he snapped at Hermione. "For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfs bane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of aconite." Callista, Krystal, Taylor, and Kailynn wrote everything that was important that Snape just said down.

"And a point from Gryffindor House for your cheek, Potter." By that time, the bell finally rang and it was time to go to History of Magic. However, it did not seem to be any better than Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It was worse than Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The teacher's name was Professor Binns and what made him different from the other teachers was that he was a ghost. However, unlike the other teachers, he would make everyone but Hermione fall asleep with his boring and droning voice. As he was talking, Krystal was hitting her head constantly on the table, hoping that it would make the class end faster. "Is the torture over yet?" Krystal muttered in a desperate and complaining tone as the time passed by slowly.

"I don't know, Tobi." Callista replied and she had her forehead on the table, which made her look like she died of boredom. Taylor was nodding off to sleep while Kailynn looked like she was trying to pay attention. "If I die in this class, can I kick his butt?"

"Please do, I'll probably die too if he keeps his droning up." Krystal said.

At long last, the bell rang which signaled them to go to Charms class. The teacher's name is Professor Flitwick who was shorter than all of the teachers and he had to use a big pile of books in order for everyone in the class to be able to see him as he was teaching. "This class is cool." Callista said.

Even though it was a whole period, it felt like five minutes when the bell rang. Krystal's stomach growled and she looked at it and said "That reminds me, when do we have lunch?"

"Now."

"YAAAAY!" Krystal and Callista said.

"Good, I'm very hungry." said Taylor.

They went to the Great Hall and sat down at their table…except for Callista. She sat down at the Gryffindor table with Krystal, Billy, and the Weasley twins. "Yes! Roast beef!" Krystal said as she chowed down. Billy did a face palm and the twins were huddled as if they had a plan. After a while, lunch ended and they went to Herbology.

The teacher for this class was Professor Sprout, she was quite cheerful for someone her age. "Hello everyone! Welcome to Herbology!" she said cheerfully. (…see what I mean?) Malfoy screamed when a plant grabbed him.

"Oh, come now, it's not like it will kill you, Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Sprout said irritated as she got the plant to let go of him. (Uh…did I forget to mention she doesn't really care about him either? XD)

"This class is going to be interesting." Callista said.

"Yes, yes it will." Krystal replied as she tried to suppress her laughter.

They all enjoyed the class and when the bell rang, they had to go back in the castle. "I don't wanna go to my House common room. I don't know anyone." Callista said as they went inside.

"Sorry, Neko. Did you want to try to come into the Gryffindor common room?" Krystal said.

"Sure, it ought to be interesting seeing the Gryffindor's reactions."

"Okay…well, good luck with that." Kailynn said as she walked toward the dungeons to get to the Slytherin common room.

"Could you annoy the crap out of Harry for me since I'm not in the same House as you, Tobi?" Taylor asked.

"Sure, me and Neko both will annoy him."

"Thank you~" Taylor said happily before going to her common room. Krystal and Callista walked up the moving stairs to the common room. Callista looked around as if she were concentrating to memorize something. Krystal was about to ask what she was doing, but before she could, she felt something grab her nose very hard.

"GOT YOUR CONK!" she heard someone screech.

"PEEVES!" Filch bellowed as he was coming up the stairs.

Peeves spitted raspberries at him and disappeared. Filch swore underneath his breath and was about to head back down but he heard Krystal squeal "What a cute cat! I want to hug it!" He turned around and saw the most strange sight he has ever seen, a student was petting his cat! "What's her name?"

"Why does it matter, you should be getting to your common room." Filch said annoyed.

"Aw…all right then, let's go, Neko."

"Okay." Callista said as she followed Krystal.

When both of them were out of earshot, Filch said "I swear, every American that comes here is more of an oddball than the last." He and his cat went down the stairs and disappeared into the dungeons.

Krystal and Callista got to the portrait of the Fat Lady and she said "Password?"

"Caput Draconis." said Krystal and the portrait swung forward to admit them.

"Whoooooa! I like it here already!" Callista said. When the Gryffindors finally stopped chatting, they looked at where the voice came from and literally dropped their things, which caused Krystal and Callista to burst out laughing.

"What's going on?" Fred and George asked when they walked in. Billy walked in and looked at Krystal like she needed help.

"Okay, Giggles, care to explain?" Billy said when he saw the Gryffindors' expressions. The twins looked at each other and shrugged.

"I snuck Neko in here and their expressions and reactions were so hilarious!" Krystal said when she was done laughing only to start another fit of laughter when she was finished speaking. She abruptly stopped laughing and put her hands over her nose as if it was hurting due to someone pinching it. "OW! MY NOSE!" Callista looked at her after she was done laughing.

"Wow, Tobi, that was a REALLY late reaction."

"Say what now?"

"Someone pinched her nose and screamed 'GOT YOUR CONK!' and when Filch came up, he spitted raspberries and disappeared."

"Peeves." Fred, George, and Billy said.

"Oh yeah! That's what Filch shouted when he appeared!"

"I got to pet the kitty!" Krystal said which made the Gryffindor House stare at her. "What?!"

"You petted Filch's cat?" most of the Gryffindor House asked in disbelief as they looked at her like she was crazy. Billy did a face palm and muttered something about Krystal never being able to resist petting cats and how she usually acts stupid.

"Yes, I did." Krystal said irritated as she crossed her arms with an annoyed expression on her face. The Gryffindors shook their heads and then went to do what they were doing before.

"Hey, did that plant grab Malfoy by the way?" George said to Callista and Krystal.

"Huh?" They both asked looking confused.

"The plant in the greenhouse, did it grab Malfoy?"

"Yeah, it did and it was funny as hell!" Callista said laughing.

"Excellent! Apparently that plant really will do anything you want it to if you give it something it likes."

"Oh, so THAT'S what you two were planning in the Great Hall during lunch!" Krystal said pointing at the two.

"Yup."

"And they're both geniuses." Billy said joining them.

"Yeah, no kidding."

They talked for a while and then it was finally time for them to eat supper. "Oh crap, we got detention with Snape…" Krystal said annoyed as she remembered.

"You got in trouble in his class already? Wow, you didn't last as long as I expected you to." Billy said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means how I said it, moron." he siad as he flicked her head.

"OW! That hurts you know!"

"I know, that's why I do it."

Krystal rubbed her head as she continued to glare at her brother. They finally got to the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table and it seemed the Hufflepuffs didn't really care that Callista was sitting with the Gryffindors, they actually looked relieved. When they ate supper, Billy, the twins, Callista, and Krystal all got up from their seat and went out of the Great Hall. Billy separated from them to go to Dumbledore's office while the others continued to the dungeons. "So, what'd you two do to get yourselves a detention?" Fred asked as they walked for a while.

"I threw a text book at Malfoy and his lackeys."

"I told Snape to shut up when he was lecturing with a monotone voice." Callista said.

The twins started to laugh. "Well, that seems interesting."

"Well, it's not our fault most of Slytherin is full of morons and monotone lecturers." Krystal said.

They finally got to Snape's office and when they walked inside, Callista and Krystal shuttered when they saw a lot of jars full of creepy things they didn't want to know about. "Sit." Snape said as he pointed at the four chairs. They all obeyed and sat down.

"Aw…why can't you get more comfortable chairs for us, Severus? These wooden ones tend to hurt the rear end if someone sits on them for too long." George said. Snape glared at him but decided to ignore what he said. "As you know, you're here because--"

"Severus, could you let Miss Maurer and Vantrease come with me, please?" Dumbledore said. Krystal and Callista almost jumped out of their seats since they didn't hear Dumbledore open the door. (…uh…rhyming was not intended, I swear o.o)

"When did he come in?" Krystal whispered. Callista shrugged, but she wasn't complaining.

"Certainly, Dumbledore." Snape said and cast Callista and Krystal an annoyed look. Krystal and Callista didn't have to be told twice to follow him. They practically leaped out of the chairs to go after Dumbledore.

"Aw! Why couldn't you let us go, Severus?" they heard George complain but they knew he was kidding around.

"Shut up." Snape snapped.

"Uh…Professor Dumbledore? Why are we going with you again?" Krystal asked uncertainly.

"We have an important meeting, your brother and other friends will be there too." Dumbledore replied. Krystal looked confused and looked at Callista, but she shrugged to tell her she didn't get it either.
