Chapter 3: Believing What They Tell You Is More Likely To Get You Killed Than Going In Blind
Amethyst stared down at the gnome, or so she assumed.
Are you crazy, Amethyst?! Its a fucking potato. Those bastards are fucking with you!
Amethyst suppressed a growl. She'd know them a week and they were already making her look like an idiot just because she wasn't too familiar magical creatures.
Well I'll be damned if i take this laying down. But what to do?...
"Why do I get the feeling that this was a bad idea?" Albus muttered, more to himself than Scorpius, who was looking out the window to the garden where Amethyst stared in confusion at the gnome, snickering every so often as he watched.
Albus wanted to laugh too but he had the sneaking suspicion that this wold come back to bite him in the ass.
"Oh relax, Al. It's just a bit of fun. She'd do the same to us if we were in the same situation." Scorpius assured him, waving it off with his hand.
Albus was about to deny it but he knew it was true.
Actually, she'd probably do worse. As a matter of fact I'd LOVE to see what she'd do if she got Scorpius out in the Muggle world.
Albus couldn't help but smirk at the idea, Scorpius was his best friend, no doubt, but they both personally loved a good laugh.
"Okay what are we laughing about?" a familiarly sarcastic voice asked, causing the two boys to spin around fast enough to cause whiplash.
"Rose!" They exclaimed in unison.
"Miss me?" she teased, tilting her head to the side for dramatic effect.
"Only on weekends." Scorpius drawled, managing to sound completely uninterested as he pretended that his nails had suddenly become the most fascinating things.
"Bastard." Rose accused, her brown eyes alight with laughter as Albus hugged her tightly, even as he towered over her, being six inches taller(the tallest out of their grand trio) . " Get over here and hug me or I will flay you while you still breathe." Scorpius cocked a smile as he began a hellishly slow pace towards her.
"You cut your hair." Albus observed after releasing her, touching the ends of her now shoulder length, curly, dark red hair.
"Indeed I did. Faster or I'll cut off your fingers and your favorite appendage while I'm at it." Rose threatened, her voice having a new vicious edge to it as she put her hands on her hips and shot him a playful glare.
As if he'd Apperated his arms where instantly around her waist in an almost too-tight embrace."Bitch." he muttered, too playfully to be malicious.
Their joyous reunioun was cut short by a scream.
"Sweet Fucking Holy Damn!" Amethyst exclaimed, applying pressure to the now bleeding bite wound in her calf.
"What happened?!" Albus cried, being the first at her side.
"I got bit by a potato! A fucking potato! For fucks sake, I'm bleeding!" Amethyst hissed, her hazel eyes alight with unhinged, malicious anger. "'Just get rid of the gnome, eh? It's a sinch,eh?! Why the fuck do I listen to you?!!"
Albus glared at Scorpius, who had just made it out to the garden," I told you this was a bad fucking idea! She thought it was a potato!"
Amethyst's wand moved so fast that they never saw it coming. "Levicorpus!Levicorpus!"
Within seconds both Albus and Scorpius were floating upside down in the air by their left ankles.
"Fuck with me will you?" Amethyst muttered angrily, running her hand along her calf. "Finite." she whispered, causing the "wound" on her calf to disappear.
Rose burst out laughing , leaning over and holding her sides after a while. "Merlin, that's brilliant. I think I like you."
"Why thank you." Amethyst replied, performing a little hand curtsy. "I'm Amethyst."
"Rose, that one's" she pointed to Albus, who along with Scorpius, was now being overtaken by his own fit of chuckles,"cousin." Rose told Amethyst offering a hand the much shorter girl.
Amethyst shook her hand enthustically before turning to the guys. "You guys are awesome and all but don't fuck with me. At least not about things that bite. That little potato fucker really did try to bite me. Liberacorpus. Wingardium Leviosa."
The two floated safely to the ground as if nothing had happened.
"Now, let's go see how quickly James can find the counter curse for making his hair mimic the rainbow." Amethyst prompted, "Rune really is an evil genius."
"...and don't trust Bitch Maxem." Rose explained as Amethyst diligently scribbled the warning down in a note pad. "She's a super ho. And she"ll fail you for an innocent bit of giving that Smith bitch dog ears." Amethyst looked at her incredulously for a moment before scratching out her last note, never breaking eye contact with Rose, then scribbling a new one.
"Okay, Rose enough." Scorpius said finally, rubbing his temples lightly. " You're giving me a migraine."
"You're just old." Rose huffed, pouting childishly and crossing her arms.
"Excuse me?" Scorpius all but growled, looking as if he would jump on Rose at any second and pull her hair out by the roots.
Amethyst felt the sudden urge to back away from the situation and scooted back in one obvious lurch until she hit the love seat Albus was sitting on. Albus pulled her up and warned her to tuck her legs up on the cushions as well.
"You heard me old man. Put on your glasses and Maybe you could read my lips." Rose stressed, setting her chin defiantly.
"Dinner!" The innocent call had averted disaster and imminent bloodshed.
"You heard Ms. Molly! Food!" Amethyst announced, lunging off of the couch, grabbing Scorpius's arm, and sprinting out the door.
A moment of silence passed between the cousins.
"You do it on purpose don't you?" Albus stated more than asked, giving her a knowing look.
"He makes it too easy."
Okay, yea, it was short. And just for the record Scorpius is 16. His birthday(in my story at least) is January 3rd. Where as Rose has JUST turned 16, her birthday being August 1st. Oh and just for the hell of it Albus Severus's birthday is August 18th. Yes, the next chapter WILL be birthday parties. Oh, and YES Scorpius has glass, blacked framed rectangular ones to be exact. He just wears contacts instead sometimes. Though he really doesnt like contacts.
