A/N: School's started! I'm a bit sad about that, but at least this year is a doss year … although I have my Leaving cert in two years time! The results of the leaving cert determine what courses you can apply for in college, so they're quite important!
A/N2: OMG! I can't believe how many people liked this fic, I was expecting to get about ten reviews or so, but I guess this fic makes more sense than I'd originally realised.
A/N3: I already have a great plot bunny for another humour fic, but it won't be as pointless as this one and it will be AU and non-magic too, and there might be some angst in it as well. I won't say anything more though, I'll reveal more when I've thought of the plot line fully and decide weather I'll even start it or not!
Anyway, before I put even more Author's notes here (I have a lot to say, most of it makes no sense) I'm going to continue with the fic! We're almost at the end!
Forgetting that comment, I just want to say a huge hello to Aubrey (AubreyElla if you're wondering!)…… HELLO! If you like this fic, you'll love hers, it's a post-war fic where Harry goes to college, along with Draco! There's a rare pairing in it too and a road trip! How better can you get? So anyway, I suggest you read it; you can in it on my favourite story's list!
Chapter 7. Early mornings and Rain Gods.
Day 3
At dawn, the six friends were woken suddenly by an alarm clock going off in the room beside theirs. The shrill sound made each teen jump out of bed and rush to the fire exit, only to remember that the fire alarm had no batteries and it couldn't have gone off, unless it was possessed but they weren't going into that too deeply.
"That's it! I've decided I'm not going to wake up today!" Pansy declared and dived under her duvet, her whole body covered by the quilt.
"What time is it?" Harry yawned.
"Bloody hell! Only six o'clock!" Ron declared.
"Wake me in six hours," Draco pleaded and crawled back into his bed only to fall asleep a minute later.
"I wish I could drop off as easily," Blaise grumbled, looking at Pansy, Draco and Hermione who were fast asleep. "Once I'm awake I can never get back to sleep again."
"I know, I'm like that too," Harry agreed.
"Lucky bitches," both of them muttered.
Harry, Blaise and Ron decided to wake the others at ten o'clock, which the found was harder in practise than in theory. Pansy would throw a punch or try to slap anybody who tried to get her out from her bed. She would also kick if the covers were pulled off her, which lead to a few bruises on the awake party. Hermione got up easily enough, but muttered under her breath the whole time, contrary to popular belief, Hermione was not a morning person. Draco just never woke up, it was like trying to wake up a dead person, Blaise actually checked to make sure he was breathing. In the end they just dumped his sleeping body in the backseat of Harry's car, yet again.
Blaise, who found himself quite sober for the past few days, said he would drive until Hermione woke up properly. This was quite unnerving as Blaise drove worse that Draco, who had thousands of speeding tickets. In the end, however, they let him drive, it was either him or Hermione, and she wasn't up to driving at the time.
"Ok, destination is … Paris!" Ron told his friends, taking over for Hermione.
"See you in eight hours then!" Blaise said as he jumped into the front seat of the Mercedes with a manic grin on his face, "I've always wanted to drive one of these!"
"Right, nothing strange there," Harry said rolling his eyes.
"I'm driving," Ron told Harry and then jumped into the front seat of the Saab.
It was exactly twelve when Draco woke up, he looked a little dazed and he blinked as his eyes tried to get used to the brightness around him.
"It awakes!" Ron declared dramatically. Draco glared at him.
"What time is it?" Draco asked, and then yawned.
"Exactly Twelve o'clock," Harry told him while reading a magazine.
"When did we leave?" He asked groggily.
"Ten," came the answer.
"Why didn't anybody wake me? I can't sleep in a car, I'll get bed sores! Hey I wanted to drive, that's not fair, and I haven't driven once!" Draco complained with sudden awareness.
"Are you even listening to him?" Ron whispered to Harry as Draco continued to rant about the unfairness of life.
"Half the time all I hear is Blah Blah Blah," Harry answered, not once looking away from his magazine.
Blaise, Pansy and Hermione drove down the motorway blissfully unaware of the dark clouds gathering over head. After listening to all the CDs that Pansy and Hermione supplied, all they were left with was Ron's CD folder, which none of them was willing to touch. Ron was notorious for his bad taste in music, and despite his arguments; S club 7 will never 'change the world' and will never 'Have a dream come true'. (A/N: LOL!)
"Crap … Shit … Crap … double Crap … hell no … over … pur-lease … Why doesn't Ron have anything a little bit tasteful?" Pansy asked as she leafed through the folder.
"Duh, it's Ron, he thinks Atomic Kitten and 'N Sync is still together!" Blaise reminded her.
"Remind me to burn this," Pansy told Hermione as she pulled out a Spice Girls CD. Hermione only laughed and nodded.
Suddenly a huge thunder crack sounded overhead which made all three of them let out a high shriek. As they were screaming, the sky suddenly ripped and it started to rain very heavily, resulting in everyone in the car, which was a convertible, being soaked to the bone.
"We have to stop and get the roof out!" Hermione said, realising how the car was getting soaked in the relentless rain.
"Ok, Blaise … STOP!" Pansy screeched. Blaise, surprised, swerved and screeched to a halt at the hard shoulder. Pansy and Hermione immediately got to work trying to unfold the roof. But, after a couple of minutes puffing and panting and everyone getting wet, no progress was being made.
"Typical, just typical," Pansy muttered. "WHY DO YOU MOCK ME! DO YOU GET PLEASURE FROM MY PAIN OR SOMETHING? ANSWER ME!" Pansy roared at the sky.
"Erm … who are you talking to?" Blaise asked cautiously.
Pansy didn't answer; instead she shook her finger angrily at the sky. Blaise and Hermione looked at each other and shrugged.
Meanwhile, Ron had finally let Draco drive, after two hours of moaning and complaining. Draco, who was pretending to cry at the time, squealed at the chance to finally drive. Ron and Harry were currently regretting their decision, as they drove down the rain soaked motorway at 160km/ph while Draco was singing Meatloaf's 'Like a bat out of hell'. All in all it was quite worrying, and Harry and Ron didn't feel safe with just a seatbelt on.
Suddenly Draco spotted Hermione, Blaise and Pansy at the hard shoulder trying to get the roof on. And seeing as he was going fast enough as it was, he saw no reason not to suddenly slam on the brakes and do a U turn to stop at the car, an action which almost made Harry and Ron loose their breakfast and Lunch.
"Thank God! We can't-," Hermione told Draco when he jumped out of the car.
"The leather interior! It's RUINED!" Draco shouted, ignoring her. He then ran to where Blaise was trying to pry the roof up, pushed Blaise back, and as smoothly as possible, pulled up the roof.
"How did you-?" Blaise asked, amazed.
"Mixture of fear of my father and the love of those seats," Draco explained.
Then as quickly as it started, the rain stopped to reveal a baby blue sky and a colourful rainbow.
"Oh my God! YOU ARE REALLY ASKING FOR IT, YOU ARE THREADING ON REALLY, REALLY THIN ICE MISTER!" Pansy screamed, once more, at the sky.
"Who's she talking to?" Harry asked Blaise.
"No one knows, Harry, no one knows," Blaise said calmly.
When Pansy stopped screaming, everyone let out a sigh of relief, that was, before Draco started screaming at the state of the car. The inside was soaked and the floor squelched when someone stood on it. The leather treatment on the seats were starting to smell quite bad as the water seeped through and when the radio was turned on, nothing came out of it, but static.
"I'm dead! You hear me, dead!" Draco howled.
"Quit with the dramatics, you're not dead; you couldn't have prevented this," Harry said trying to comfort him.
"Tell me, do you have an over possessive, bad tempered, money grabbing, puppy stealing, mafia hiring, drug dealing, Kite ripping, Hair pulling, people beating, paper editing, knife collecting, race gambling, caffeine drinking, alcoholic of a father?" Draco questioned really fast.
"Your dad edits papers?" Hermione asked, mentally going over Draco's colourful description of his father.
"I was going with the flow, alright?" Draco protested.
"Kite ripping? Hair pulling? Puppy stealing?" Pansy asked, laughing.
"Fine, insult me! I don't care, I don't need friends!" Draco declared, pretending to be insulted.
"Draco we were never your friends!" Pansy stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Fine, I don't need a posse!"
"We're not your posse."
"Gang?"
"No."
"Crew?"
"No."
"Homies?"
"Hell no."
"Amigos?"
"Don't use your fancy language on me, the answer is no!"
"Fine, I don't need your … acquaintanceship any more!" Draco concluded and walked off in a mock huff.
Pansy smiled. "He's hilarious Harry, where'd you find him? I want one!"
Harry only laughed in response.
The six teens had to wait for about two hours while the seats dried a little bit, as if they were to sit down, they would have found themselves in a puddle of water. So to pass the time the six of them went to a nearby inn to get lunch, much to Ron's delight.
"Pansy, I forgot to ask, who were you talking to earlier?" Blaise asked from behind a huge plate of chips.
"When?" Pansy asked.
"Earlier, when it was raining," Blaise reminded her.
"Oh, that. The rain god," Pansy stated matter of fancily.
"The rain God?" Blaise, Ron and Harry asked in unison.
"Yes the rain god, he's out to get me because when my cousin was over we did some Wicca spell to make it rain because we were not invited to Suzy's garden party, Total bitch, I'll tell you later. Anyway, while we were doing the spell my mom called us down for some spaghetti so the two of us, because we were hungry, ran down without finishing the spell. Now while we were eating the potion must have mutated or something, because when we went back upstairs, it had turned Pink and was bubbling, but before we could take the potion and throw it away, a huge shadow of smoke filled the room and then a voice said, 'You have ruined my heavenly powers of the rain, now you will face my wrath, I am the rain god and my wrath is your fear, I have warned you, beware!'," Pansy explained.
"Is that true?" Draco asked. Everyone else at the table let out a sigh of frustration and humour. Typical Draco.
"Of course it's true! What else would explain the sudden rainfall and its sudden stopping once the roof was on?" Pansy told him.
"It's called dumb luck," Blaise said.
"It's called divine intervention! The rain god was stopped before he could flood the world!" Both Pansy and Draco countered.
"Don't tell me you believe this Draco?" Harry asked.
"Of course he does, the rain god has always been trying to kill all of humanity!" Pansy said, answering for Draco.
"Fine, name five instances," Ron told him, annoyed that their argument was stopping him from eating.
"Well, 1. Noah's ark, everyone knows that one. 2. Jumanji, rain just does not fall in a house without a reason. 3. The pond in my front garden, every year the water gets lower and lower, it's a conspiracy I tell you! 4. Blocked up toilets, it's so the toilet water starts to slowly flood the whole house. And 5. Filtered water, or as I call it the silent killer, the rain God has 'filtered' water 'filtered' with poison!" Pansy ended dramatically.
"I have another one! Torrential rain!" Draco said.
"Torrential rain is not because of the Rain God, Draco," pansy scolded.
"How do you know?" Draco countered.
"Because I do, and don't use that tone with me!"
"No you don't, and I'm not using a tone!"
"Are you starting with me, bitch?"
"What if I am?"
"Do you want me to sock you one, 'cause I will!"
"Pansy, Pansy, Pansy, I'm not like the other men in your life, I will hit you back!" (Jack from Will and Grace, you gotta love him!)
Anyway, another chapter, another day, another migraine! (I don't have a migraine by the way!)
Please R&R!
