Chapter 6
"Ugh." I groaned, fluttering my eyes open.
"Well," A voice laughed. "You missed the Hodmeade trip."
"What?!" I shriek. "But-"
"Knew you would fall for that." Chris came into view. "It's not for another week."
"Whew." I sigh, laying back down on the bed.
"Ok," I heard Sirius come in, with voices in the backround. "Chris, out! I need to talk with my lil sis."
I groaned. "I'm not little." Someone slapped me. My vision came into focus and I saw Arin. "Ow." I said with no expression. Nikola rolled her eyes.
"It's nothing too serious." I claim. "I only turned into stone. Who's going to care about me, or that matter?"
"Us." Everyone said.
"Anyway," I say, throwing my feet off the bed. "I'm hungry, so, let's go to breakfast. Lunch. Dinner?"
"Dinner." Nikola stifles a giggle. "Everyone else ate, except for me. Let's go."
"Nicole." Sirius growls. "You're. Not going. Anywhere!" He changes into a black dog and attempts to attack me. Unfortunately for him, I knew how to change also. I change into a gray wolf. He plants a scratch on my leg. I strike back with a bite to his neck.
"Hey!" Arin yells. "Break it up, both of you!"
Sirius changes back quickly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Ow." He mutters, glaring at me. I take the safe route and change in the hallway.
"Now," I say triumphantly. "Can I eat?" Everyone nods, and I run down the stairs.
Once I got to the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table, I started shoving mashed potatoes and steak in my mouth.
"What the?" Nikola stared at me, eating her food slowly.
"Don't judge me." I say with my mouth full. "I haven't eaten in, what, 5 weeks?"
"4 weeks." Arin had the courage to correct me.
I glare at her. "Shut up." I gulp down my pumpkin juice and I jump out of my seat.
"Where are you going?" James called after me.
"Going to beat a bulger." I call over my shoulder. "On my broom."
"Yeah, that reminds me." James looked toward the other players. "Practice, now!" Thundering feet ran after me.
"Race you outside!" Sirius decided to challenge me.
"You're on!" I smirk. "Accio!" I yell, and my broom comes zooming toward me. I jump on just as the broom was about to pass me. "See you outside!" I mocked Sirius.
"Hey, no fair, that's cheating!" He yelled after me.
"This is the wizarding world." I reminded him. "Nothing is fair." He scowls.
(pretend this is a line breaker) (Duh)
"How are you sweating?" I laugh. Everyone has beads of sweat on their foreheads. Even Arin, who doesn't even play Quiddetch.
"Shut up." Nikola rolls her eyes and pushes me off the common room couch.
"Hey!" I complain. "That's my seat, all day, every day!"
"Not today."
I growl and shake my fist at her.
"Ok, who has dates for Hogsmade?" Sirius wriggles his eyebrows at me. It's like he was trying to torture me.
"I have one." Arin piped up. I raised my eyebrow. It wasn't like Arin to have a date. Ever.
"Never." I say proudly. Sirius scowled at me. "Stop scowling, dear brother, or you'll stay like that forever."
"Not yet." Nikola sighs.
"Speaking of which," Remus started to get up. "Want to go to Hogsmade with me, Nikola?" Nikola squealed.
"Yes!" She looked at me. "If it's ok."
"Why would I care?" I ask. She shrugged.
"I've got a date." Sirius said.
"Of course you do, Sirius, you always have a girl to snog every week." I punched him in the arm.
"Lily finally agreed to go with me." James pumped his fist.
"Really?" I widened my eyes. "That's impressive, considering the fact that you act like Snape. I think you tried to like Potions just for Lily." James blushed.
"Shut up." He muttered.
There was a long silence until Arin said, "Well, I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep."
"Same here."
"Good idea."
"Let's go."
(pretend this is a line breaker) (Duh)
A knock banged through the girls' dormitory. I groggily got up to answer it.
"Nicole," James looked out of breath. "I was hoping you would answer. I need to show you something. Come on." Before I could protest, James threw the invisibility cloak over us and pulled me toward the empty classes.
"I was going to the kitchens, and I heard something in one of the rooms. I came to take a look, and I saw something that you might want to see." He opened the door, and I had clamp my hand over my mouth to not yell.
There were robes everywhere, and in the middle of them, with only panties on, there was Arin and Sirius, passed out on the ground.
