I skipped Divination, but I heard the teacher was a nutter. So I was kinda happy I missed it. Then it was lunch. In which Aly found me and interrogated me. And when I say found, yes I mean I sat at the Gryffindor table.
"Why weren't you there?"
"We worked with Boggarts today," I started as tears bubbled up in my eyes, "I saw my father, If you know what I mean" Aly, George, and Fred all hugged me tightly. I smiled wide, my parents were gone and I had a lovely group of friends to be my new parents. Okay so my boyfriend, best friend, and other best friend are now my parents. Um… Moving on.
"I really love you guys." I whispered.
"ME MOST?" They all asked in unison. I giggled and hiccupped.
"If it helps," Fred said grinning "What you did to that kid in Defense Against The Dark Arts was bloody brilliant. He's a prat, and now he's probably scarred for life." We all giggled. I stole some of George's food and waved goodbye. Now it was off to Care Of Magical Creatures. Don't get me wrong here, I had nothing against Hagrid, but I was genuinely scared at what the lesson would be on. You see my point now, right?
But when we got down to the lesson, and everyone's books stopped trying to murder them, we were introduced to the most gorgeous creatures ever. They were called Hippogriffs. My god they were gorgeous. Harry went up to one called Buckbeak. I went up to an inky black one and bowed slowly. It let me pet him and I smiled.
I looked over at Harry, whom was being lifted by Hagrid onto the hippogriff. He didn't look too excited. Next thing I knew I was being lifted onto "my" hippogriff and we took off in flight. It was amazing. It was better than being on a broomstick. We went around the entire school, and I waved at several classes as I passed them by. I giggled as we flew. I also yelled in delight. Ut felt perfect.
When I got back, apparently Malfoy provoked Buckbeak and was now in the infirmary. I giggled; he was as big of an idiot as I thought he was. The rest of the day was a blur. After classes were over we had a half hour until dinner. I smiled as I layed in my bed.
"So you and George?" Aly asked once more.
"Me and George," I replied, "But I don't think it'll last long."
"Well Why not?"
"Because, I think he likes me out of pity. I mean we have a date this Saturday at 3. So I guess we'll see then."
"Oh. Wait where's your date gonna be?" She asked wheels turning in her head.
"Black Lake. Don't you think about spying. If you do, I'll know!" I finished the conversation and took out my diary.
Dear Diary,
Here I am, back at Hogwarts. Aly's still the snooping, gorgeous, funny, and annoying girl I know and love. Tess is still a bitch and Fred and George are still Gred and Forge. Well George and I are together now, but nothing's really changed. I made birds peck some kid in Defense Against The Dark Arts and I skipped Divination. And I rode a hippogriff. I know, a lot for my first day back. And to think, I still have a year to go. I'm not sure I'll even last till Christmas. But that's what I said last year and the year before. I guess that's all I have to report. More dish in a few days. Same time same place? Hehehe
Love,
Ariane Lucy Gray.
I quickly closed my diary and ran off to dinner, with Aly trailing behind.
At dinner, I ate more than I did all day. And Aly ate a lot less. Well for the first half anyway. She was scratching a note on a parchment. When she finished she folded it into an origami bird and bewitched it too fly over to the Gryffindor table. It wasn't until she was done passing it around and Aly started eating that I was able to read it.
Fred? Eh Fred?
Yes Aly?
You know George and Ariane have a date on Saturday at 3 right?
How could I not? It was my idea.
Oh? Didn't see that coming. Anyway do you think maybe we should. You know spy on them? Make sure everything goes alright?
I thought you'd never ask.
I rolled my eyes as they sank back to my potatoes. But still something about me was excited for the fact that they'd be watching our every move on Saturday.
A/N Geezus! So I've been keeping up with Harry Potter Weekend on ABC Family. And I realized how many ideas I have for Other books. Like In all honesty I already have at least one chapter from every other book at least started. And so many ideas for the future. So if I speed up time a bit more I'm sorry, I just wanna get these ideas before I forget. And This right here is my longest chapter. I know weird. But It's also probably my worst. So I'll try to get more stuff out. There will probably be a chapter spam over winter break. but other than that, nothing really new. So thank you for being my rabid readers. As long as you stay that way, I will stay your Rita Skeeter.
Love,
Koti Phantom
