Hey yall! Nah I'm kidding. I'm not American. don't worry. Hey youse out there who have the time enough to read this, but I have the time to write it so...
Amy fast walked into breakfast and sat behind Jess. She picked up a cup and started skulling it. Precisely 30 seconds later, an army of angry puffed out boys ran through the doors. Screaming.
"What do you think you are doing?" Professor McGonagall screamed. Everyone in the hall looked over and the angry mob of boys stopped running.
"We. Uh. We were just." Spokesperson-guy stuttered.
"DETENTION! For all the boys of Griffindor fifth year. A week. Except for you guys, sitting down." The boys slowly walked over to the long Griffindor table and sat down, glaring at Amy.
"He he he." Amy laughed happily.
"You are one weird chick." James said.
"He."
"Did you mean for this to happen? Like do you plan everything that goes on in your life or do you just do something and wait for something interesting to happen?" Sirius said.
"Pretty much."
"Hey, is your name Amy?" Said a girl's voice behind her.
"It depends who's asking." Amy said and then regretted it when she turned around to see the person who had asked.
"Dolores Umbridge is asking." This girl was seriously tall and tough looking and she looked ticked off. Having a tough looking person be ticked off at you is not good. I don't recommend it.
"Hey, I haven't seen you before." She tried to sound not so scared. "What year you in?"
"Seventh. I heard you beat up my boyfriend."
"Well it was more of a No way! Who said that? I'll beat em."
"He said it." Dolores pulled the braces kid up from behind her.
"Him? Who did you say I beat up?" She whispered to the little guy.
"You beat him." She stood over Amy like a shadow.
"He's your boyfriend! Ooh, that's funny. Because he's like a little mini nerdy brace face and your like massive so you said that to make me all scared and be like 'Aagh don't hurt me. Please. I'll do your homework or something, just don't hurt me.' but you see, my friend here is the brainy one, I'm actually quite dumb. Unless you count being able to climb out windows fast as a subject, then I'm smart as." Amy smiled and sat back down.
A growl echoed around Amy's head.
"Wow, girl, you have real bad breath. I suggest you Go get some mints before you go kissing your 'boyfriend' again. Here, it's on me." Amy slipped a 10 dollar note into her front pocket.
She growled again
"Now, if you gonna act like a dog I just might have to turn you into one." Amy said as she looked for her wand in her pyjamas. "Jess, give me your wand."
"Ok, but if you are going to turn her into a dog, leave me out of it."
Dolores looked stumped for a moment. Then Amy said. "Oh, you got no wand? Hehe hahity hahity ha!" Amy danced around her, singing her little tune and stopped in front of her and poked out her tongue. "Na na na na na!" Amy spun around and snapped her fingers and did a little head bop thing. "MmHm." She sat down and started eating a piece of toast. Dolores went red. With anger, of course. She went to punch her in the head but Sirius got there first, he thwacked Dolores across the head. She got up and went to kick him but Lily stopped her. Amy got up and knocked the girl out with a big metal bowl.
"No one sneaks up on my girls when their backs are turned. And my guy." The marauders, Jess and Lily all cheered. But the big mean girl stood up and went to hit Amy over the head with the same bowl she was whacked with. Amy turned around just in time and grabbed her wrist. "What did I just say?" Amy threw the girl backwards and she tripped over another table. Dolores got up and knocked Sirius, James, Remus, Jess and Lily over in her anger to get to Amy. Amy turned around to see if her friends were ok when Dolores kicked Amy's knees and she toppled over. "This chick is like the bloody terminator." Amy rolled around for a bit on the floor and finally stood up and grabbed her teddy bear (which was sitting on her spot for all that time) and threw it into her face. Dolores threw it back and Amy whipped out Jess's wand and turned her into a dog. The dog growled.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON IN HERE?" Professor McGonagall screamed as she walked in and saw five kids on the ground, one girl clad in blue pyjamas rushing to help them up with a wand in her mouth and a dog, growling.
"Well, what it is" Amy started and everyone around her started talking and shouting and I think one started singing.
"Enough! You six, detention. My office, Monday."
"Dammit." Said Amy.
"And why is there a dog in here?"
"Well it's actually Dolores." Jess said.
"Dolores?" The professor was confused.
"Uh, well it's kind of, Dolores Umbridge."
"The student!"
"Yeah."
"Oh, quickly, someone go and bring her to the hospital wing. Uhh you. What's your name?"
"Jade."
"Well get a leash and take her to the hospital wing. GO!"
"I don't know where it is."
"You go with her then." She pointed at Jess.
"Me neither."
"Fine then, you go." She pushed Lily and Jade towards the door. "You five. SIT!" They sat.
"Well, that was an interesting way to start breakfast." Sirius said after she walked away. Jess raised her eyebrows. "It was."
"I don't really think she was that tough. She just looked scary. And smelled scary." Amy said matter -of-factly. Sirius and James laughed.
"It's not funny. Someone could've gotten hurt." Jess said.
"Yeah, as long as it's that twit, I'm ok." Amy said. They laughed again.
"You hit her with a bowl." Remus said.
"I know. She's ok though."
"She's a dog." Remus said.
"I know. She sounded like one, so I thought she may as well look the part." They laughed again.
"Still not funny." Jess said.
"I'm gonna agree with worrywart." Amy said.
"It's not funny, Amy." Remus said sternly.
"Geez, who died and made you grim reaper." More laughter comes from James and Sirius.
"Guys, stop laughing it's not funny." Amy said. They shut up.
Remus glared and Jess looked unimpressed.
"Well, think about it like this. She stopped to defend us guys when she was risking her neck stupidly." Sirius said. Jess nodded. Amy scowled. "I mean how dumb can you get? She was gigantic." Amy glared. "She could have just sat there and watched us get intimidated, but she didn't and now she's got detention." Amy glared harder. "I mean she really put herself out for us." Sirius patted her on the shoulder. Amy glared and then whacked him repeatedly. Jess and Remus looked a bit more convinced though. After a few minutes of silence they got up and turned to leave.
"Hey, where are youse going?"
"Library."
"No you're not, it's a Saturday."
"So?" They said and walked off.
"I hate them sometimes." Amy said. "Now I'm stuck with you guys, again."
"Hey!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Soz."
"Meh."
"So, when do holidays begin?"
"You're not serious?"
"Yer."
"It's not that boring, is it?"
"Well, I can't remember boring days and I only remember 3 days of being here. Plus today."
"That's because you've only been here for 3 days. Plus today."
"Well, that makes sense then."
"Good."
"So when do holidays start?"
"A few weeks." James said.
"Kewl."
"Uhu."
"Is there anywhere you can go swimming in this place?"
"Uh, yeah." Sirius said.
"Where's that then?"
"Well, no one is actually supposed to know about it but us."
"So it's a secret then?"
"That's the general idea."
"Ooh, tell me, tell me, tell me."
"Do you not understand the whole 'secret' thing?"
"Uh, yes, no, wait, what?"
"Don't worry."
"So, can we swim now?"
"It has to be later. You know, when it's dark." Said James.
"Why?"
"Secrecy." Said James. Amy raised her eyebrows.
"It's just better at night." Said Sirius.
"So, why are we here again?" Jess said.
"Because we want to tick off the others." Remus said.
"Ok then."
"Why do we want to do that again?" Jess said.
"Eh, well, I dunno, it's fun, I guess."
"Wonder what they're doing?"
"Something stupid."
"Why do you say that?" Remus walked her over to the staircase and pointed at the three jumping up and down, trying to jump from one staircase to the other, while they were moving from floor to floor.
"Oh." They sat down at a desk and took out some books. Jess had no idea how to use a wand so she was reading every single book she could find on the subject and memorising it. Surprisingly, she didn't get bored.
"Do you actually like reading that stuff?"
"Yeah. Why, don't you?"
"No. There's only one spell I can do off the top of my head that makes everything from these books kinda get lodged into my brain."
"Cool. But don't you get into trouble?"
"Nah, the info's already in my head so the anti-cheating charms don't affect it."
"Well, can you teach me?"
"It's complicated."
"Everyone says that, but when you explain it, it's simple." He explained the spell and she did not understand a word.
"Well, can you do it to me?"
"Uh, ok."
"What do you need to know from these books anyway?"
"Well, I wanna turn my bag back into a bag. Amy was messing around and my bag is now somewhat of a ginger cat."
"Ok, then." He said some chants and pointed g\his wand at the armful of books she was holding. She felt an electric shock sensation rise up her arm and through her body. "Whoa. That was weird."
"Just think of the thing you want to know and it should just come to you." Amy closed her eyes and thought hard. A bit too hard actually, when she opened her eyes her brain was involuntarily sending messages down her arm and telling her wand what to do, her arm flung around dangerously but she managed to restore her bag to its original form. Although a nearby bookcase had its books all turned into miniature copies of her bag. Remus went over and opened one up.
"I've always wanted a miniature radio."
"Amy, wake up." Lily shook her awake.
"What?"
"Sirius and James want you to meet them in the common room."
"K."
"Oh, and they said, 'it'll be cold, bring your swimming stuff'." Lily added, looking uberly confused.
"Oh, right. I remember now. Tell them I'll be down soon."
"No."
"Whatever." Amy got changed and rummaged around in her trunk until she found her wand. Then she walked downstairs to meet the guys. They had a map in their hands. Marauder's, she thought. Clever thing. They snuck down stairs and corridors and through secret passageways until they got to the dungeons. Just before the door they stopped and Sirius jumped on the ground five times, said some magical words and a trapdoor appeared.
"Ladies first." He said. She poked her tongue out at him and went down into the dark.
"Lumos." she said and walked forward, well down, really. Down steep stairs, she heard the other two coming up [down behind her. She kept walking until suddenly she fell down and slid down and around in spirals, she hit ground.
"Dammit." The other two came rushing down behind her. Because Amy hadn't moved, Sirius flew down into her back and James flew down into Sirius. "Shall I say it again?" She said as she stood up. "Where are we?" In answer, Sirius and James lit two fires in the wall that trailed around the room, lighting the massive space they were in. You couldn't really call it a 'room' because you couldn't see the walls other than the long lines of light. Amy started walking forward, then Sirius stopped her.
"Yeah, unless you want your clothes wet, don't take another step." He lifted a torch off the wall and showed her where she was about to step. Water. Orange water. It was so pretty. Amy just stared. James was in his boardies already and dived in. The splash was purple. Every ripple and trickle was purple. Orange and purple water.
"How did you find this place?"
"We were waiting for detention and we got frustrated so we were jumping up and down, yelling out our incantations so we could hex the teacher. But we didn't stop jumping so we actually crashed through the trapdoor and we had to build a new one." He smiled. "So, you gonna get in?" He said as he took off his slippers and jacket.
"Mmhm." He bombed. Amy got covered in purple splashes. She was wearing her boardies and swimmers so she chucked her shoes off and dove in. [you know, it wouldn't be possible for all these things to actually fit into her schoolbag but lets just say it was PE Very elegantly, I might add. She surfaced. The water was orange and purple but she could still see her feet. Very cool.
"So why is it orange?" She asked.
"We don't really know." James said.
"It changes colour every day." Sirius said.
"Awesome." She said.
"Yesterday it was blue." Sirius said.
"Blues not very impressive."
"It had glowing green splashes."
"That's cool. Can we come here tomorrow?"
"Uh, ok. If you really want to." James said. They just swam around for a while, talking about school until Amy said. "Let's see how much water we can splash out of the, uh pool?"
"Ok." James said.
"Me first." Amy jumped up out of the water, ran over to the spirally slide, turned around, ran up, jumped up and flipped into the water. Not very much water splashed out. She swam over to the edge and splashed as much water out as she could with her hands, which proved to be a lot. "Your turn." James jumped out of the water and slipped over on the floor. Amy laughed. He got up, ran up and cannonballed into the water. A lot of purple water splashed out onto the ground. Sirius jumped out of the water, then star jumped up, into the water. Well, into Amy's head, into the water. When he came up to breathe, Amy splashed his mouth full of water. He coughed and spluttered and chased after her, but he couldn't catch her. She swam so fast, it was almost like a mermaid had possessed her. Although she looked nothing like a mermaid, wasn't as vain, didn't have a tail and all that, she could swim like one. Which was very, very fast.
"And, uh, how is it that you can swim so fast?" Sirius said. As he stopped to catch his breath.
"It's no magic if that's what you think." Amy said as she lazily ducked in and out of the water.
"Then how the hell did you do that?" James said, he was, now, truly intrigued.
"Practice. Lessons. Talent." She said, and poked her tongue out at him.
"Can, you teach us?"
"Maybe, if you pay me with something."
"Like what?"
"Uh, money, magic teaching, getting out of class or chocolate. Yeah, bring me chocolate, please bring me chocolate. Please. Chocolate, yes. I'll teach you how to swim if you bring me chocolate, white chocolate. Deal?"
"Uh, I don't know how I'm supposed to get chocolate, but ok." James said.
"Whatever." Sirius nodded. Amy grinned and splashed back into the water. Yay, chocolate. I wonder if this place even has chocolate.
"Hey, I'm tired." Amy said as she got out of the water, grabbed her stuff and headed for the slide, then stopped. "How, are we, supposed to get out of here?"
"Well, uh"
"Don't tell me you don't know?"
"No, we do. It's just that you have to wait until morning to get out."
"Why?"
"You just do."
"How am I supposed to sleep?"
"I dunno. Sleep over there or something."
"But it's wet."
"Then don't."
"Fine, I'll wait." She said, folding her arms and plonking herself down on the ground. "Hmph."
Diiiiid yaa lowyk it! Good. Now go to sleep, no doubt you're reading this at night, but if you're not then just sleep anyway. Or have some water. Water's good. Gimme feedback. Pweez?
