Chapter 7
"It was…hahahaha…a….hahahaha…total…" Professor McGonagall could hardly understand what George Weasly was trying to say between all his laughing. "Accident" His twin, Fred, fifished for him, before bursting into laughter, same as George.
"Then tell me what really happened." She said, getting unpatient, and sitting herself firmly infront of the two. Taking deep breathes to calm themselves, the twins looked at her with a half-serious, half-amused look. "Okay, it went like this…"
The next morning, the very first Slytherin in the Great Hall was little Ari. She sat happily at the table for over 100, smiling and humming to herself as she ate a TON of pancakes.
As the other Slytherins came in, they refused to come anywhere near her, and the fourth year girls seemed to forget about her existence all together. A couple of people did notice her though: the laughing red-head twins, the clumsy Grifindor fool, the grumpy-as-usual potions master, the cheerful headmaster, and the white-blonde pure-blood boy that just walked in.
She finished her annormous amount of food before even half of the other students had arrived for breakfast, got her schedule from a proffeser and headed out the door.
The Weasly Twins, it seemed, disided that their new, and only, Slytherin friend needed a little cheering up. "Ooo" they popped up behind her as she was looking at her schedule. "Herbology first thing in the morning?" "What a bummer." She shrieked at their sudden appearance and accidetntly knocked herself off her feet, landing with a heafty thump on the floor.
"Oops, sorry." Fred said, giving her a hand up. They followed her as she headed toward the green house, introducing themselves in a ubsurdly hilarious manner, and procceding to jokingly tell her about their entire ancestory. "Oh, on our first day of Fourth Year Herbology we had to behead 10-foot Dragon-Flowers." One of them said, causing Ari to laugh quietly. "No, no, George. That was the SECOND day. The first day we had to replant man-eating Snapper-Bulbs."
They got half way there before George snatched her schedule away from her. "Then in the dark arts room, you will be learning to slay dragons" "And in potions, Snape will be telling you the best way to boil people into delicious desserts."
Ari was laughing so hard as she snatched her schedule back and ran for the green house. "No, come back!" George yelled, laughing, as the two twins ran after her. "Let us tell you about our Irish Grand-papa!" yelled Fred in a poor attempt at an Irish accent, which came out sounding more Scottish.
Laughing and out of breath, they all pushed open the Herbology door at the same time and stumbled in.
On the other side of the door was a Fourth Year Hufflepuff, talking to a friend of his. The door swung open and before he even had time to blink, a little girl and two fifth year boys knocked into him from behind. And he landed…
Right on the other guys lips!
The entire room froze, completely silent. Once the two Hufflepuffs realized what happened they jumped away from each other, blushing like mad. Ari, being as childish as she is, stood up and pointed at them. "Those two guys just kissed!" she said, giggling. The entire room burst into laughter, including the teacher, who could barely find enough breath to tell the twins to report to Professor McGonagall after their first class.
Ari spent her first day of Herbology loving it, but she kept watching the Hufflepuff she'd bumped into. He seemed…shy. He kept blushing whenever he came anywhere close to the other guy. 'He likkkkkeeess him!' she thought to herself, giggling.
When she was walking up to the front of the room to put dirt in her planter, one of the other Slytherin Fourth years tripped her. She landed painfully, breaking her pot. "Ugg, watch where you're going." The girl snarled, and went to turn around.
Only to see the tip of a wand in her face.
"You watch were you're putting your foot." Draco Malfoy said. The girls face went from amused to horrified in under a second. "Mr. Malfoy, please lower your wand." The Herbology teacher said, sounding bored and barley doing more than glancing up from one of the other student's plants.
Reluctintly, the blond put away his wand, before knealing down to help Ari. "Here," he said, pulling her to her feet. "Um, you're bleeding." He said, nodding to the blood on her hand. "Eh, its just a scratch." She smiled up at him. Their professor called that it was time to go, and she hurried to put her plant up on the shelf that was way to high for her.
"Pssh, pathetic." Draco said, taking it for her and placing on the shelf. Just as she left the green house, Ari saw the two Hufflepuff boys wink at each other.
"And that's what really happened." Fred, George and Ari – who had shown up after they started to help out – finished together.
Professer McGonagall rolled her eyes. "Remind me never to ask for what really happened ever again."
