Kura: ((⇀‸↼))
Berry: ...
Kura: That was my face while I was trying to write Usopp's day. I scratch what I said before. Usopp's is the hardest to write...
Berry: -_-
Kura: But I tried XP I hope it turned out alright! XP Oh, and thank you everybody who reviewed! T^T I love you all! -glomps everybody- Luffy, do the same!
Luffy: -glomps everybody-
Kura: Oh, and somebody mentioned why the older Slytherins and Nami's roommates didn't just stand up to her. I'm guessing it's because she kinda has everybody in her grasps. Meaning she knows too many things and for her to keep quiet, they can't stand up to her...or something like that :) And her roommates, well, they know her for a year. About. I would guess that they did try to stand up to her, only to fail miserably so they can't do anything. Just a thought though :) I might mention the real reason if I ever come up with it sometime later :)
Berry: Yups :)
Kura: By the way, if there's any error, please forgive me!

1.9 A Regular Day: Usopp
Yawning, he sat up and looking around groggily, his eyes trying to blink away the sleep. He stretched before turning around on his bed and looked around his dormitory. It was weird...waking up to the peaceful sounds of people sleeping near him when usually, Luffy would often scream at him to wake up to play or something like that.
As a result, he got used to waking up early.
A sigh escaped his lips before he looked at the time and concluded that it wasn't too early. There was just an hour left before he had to go to breakfast.
Standing up, he stretched again, feeling the warm glow from the copper lamps and smiled. While the Hufflepuff dormitory wasn't like home, he did feel rather homey here. Plus, he loved to talk with the plants that Professor Sprout often placed in the dorms and common room to decorate the place. He was even certain that Luffy would love to talk with the plants.
Even the ones that don't talk.
For some reason, Luffy could do that.
Anyway, he grabbed some clothes and left the room in a hurry. He didn't want to get into the shower rush which would probably happen sooner or later.
Ten minutes later, he stepped out of the shower rooms, rubbing his hair with his towel and said hello to some of the plants, others wrapping their vines and leaves around his hand in an attempt to stop him so they could interact. Some of the plants, he observed after coming into the Hufflepuff Basement for the first time, were very clingy. Not that he minded.
Going back to his dorm, he started to change into his overalls before struggling into his robes. Once again, he started to wonder why he was put into Hufflepuff. Some of the older students had wondered after getting to know him.
He lied. A lot.
Of course, he had his reasons, reasons that only his friends knew but they never told anybody. And nobody really minded his lies. Most of them were too outrageous that only the most stupidest - Luffy - would ever believe them. And his lies were harmless, most of them just being stories of what he supposedly did or lies to get himself out of trouble. None of them harmed the other students and most liked his lies. They were funny and sometimes refreshing.
But still, Hufflepuffs are supposed to be honest.
A few minutes after he had put on his clothes, one of his newer friends - but not as close as Luffy and the others - came in. Justin grinned and said a good morning, his hair still slightly wet. "You ready for the classes today?"
At that, he paled. He had potions with...the scary guy...
"...Ah...I think my I-can't-go-to-potions sickness is acting up!" He cried, his face dangerously pale.
Justin laughed. "I know." He said before he turned to get ready while he started to cry, not wanting to accept his fate where the greasy git of Slytherin would torture him. Or so his mind often told him.
Together with Ernie, they left the Hufflepuff Basement and headed to the Grand Hall. He sprung tales of when he helped rescue a princess from a dragon - the princess was coincidently a friend from home, Kaya - and the two became lovers. All the while, he was blushing when Justin and Ernie began to tease him about his crush on Kaya when suddenly, somebody knocked him to the ground while screaming, "USOPP~!"
"GUA!" He cried as he fell to the floor, only to have his nose snap. His eyes waters. "GYAAAAAAAAA!" He screamed as he got off the floor and held his face. Justin and Ernie said their good mornings to Luffy with a sweat drop while the straw hat boy blinked before laughing.
"Usopp, your nose looks funny!"
"DAMN YOU LUFFY! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!" He screamed, tears in his eyes.
Behind them, Sabo and Ace chuckled before Sabo stepped up. "Here, I'll help." He said before tapping his wand on the boy's nose. In a matter of seconds, his nose was healed and the boy sighed in relief, the pain gone before turned he turned to Luffy once more with his eyes burning, ready to yell but at that point, Luffy was already dragging his brothers to the Grand Hall, yelling about meat and breakfast.
He wilted while Justin and Ernie pulled him towards the Grand Hall themselves.
As they sat down, filling their plates with sausages, eggs, and ketchup, Luffy was suddenly sitting beside him, eating from the Hufflepuff table and stealing from his plate. Just as Luffy was about to make a grab from his sausages, he stabbed the table, his fork right where Luffy's hand would've been. "Don't!" He screamed.
Luffy pouted. "But Ace won't let me steal from his plate! Neither would Sabo! I don't wanna pay Nami and Sanji said he won't let me try his apple pie that he's making today if I steal from him! And Harry and Ron won't let me steal either!"
"Then steal from Zoro!"
"Ah, you're right. Thanks Usopp! Shishishishi!" And with that, Luffy rushed off to the Slytherin table where Zoro just willingly gave him some of his food.
Some of the Hufflepuff students stared after Luffy, still trying to figure him out.
Him? He gave up a long time ago. Like he said before, Luffy was an enigma he would never understand.
~.~.~
As Justin and Ernie tried their best to pull him along, he was screaming in fear, yelling about how his symptoms were acting up. "Look! I'm sweating so much! And...And my heartbeat is going too fast! I'm getting a fever! It's proof that my I-can't-go-to-potions sickness is acting up!"
"We know." Hannah said with a sweat drop. Some other students were staring. The Slytherin students were snickering as they passed by.
"PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" He cried as he flailed his arms up and down.
"No." Justin and Ernie stated before once again, pulling their friend into the classroom where Snape, the scariest teacher he has ever met, was in. He raised a brow at the long nosed boy who paled and froze. Then the boy started to shiver and stammer, a pool of sweat at his feet. At the sight of that, Snape frowned in annoyance and disapproval.
"If you don't stop, I will take twenty points of off Hufflepuff."
Instantly, some loyal Hufflepuffs started to argue against it, only to be silenced by the potions master's death glare. Some looked at the sweating boy with worried eyes. And at that, the boy tensed before smiling, giving a thumbs up and said in a loud voice, "I am not scared! It's alright! No worries! Let's just get this lesson over with!" Then he yelled at his legs, "STOP SHAKING DAMN IT!"
Every student sighed while Snape started wondering why he had to teach such a student.
Not that it was bad. The boy was quite skilled in potions and he was impressed.
But damn, he was the most scared student he has ever met.
~.~.~
As he stared at his cup dejectedly, he watched as some of his classmates managed to transform their cup to their required subject: a small mouse. Some cups had tails while others squeaked in protest, wanting to crawl away. He looked at his cup. The most he managed to do was make a few whiskers on the cup. If Nami was here, she'd say that he sucks. And Luffy would be laughing even though his cup would probably be broken after exploding.
Professor McGonagall was helping Hannah nearby. Maybe he should ask the professor for help...after all, there's no way he could do it himself...
Ah...he slumped as he started to think of himself as pathetic.
...If there was such thing as a ghost who came make people negative, it'd probably become negative itself if it tries to go through him...
~.~.~
Charms was fun. He loved watching Professor Flitwick help others with his squeaky voice - damn it, why must that be so cute!? - and when it was his turn to be helped, he could only smile and accept it.
The professor was so nice and so helpful. He really liked the professor and he heard from Sabo that he and Hermione was getting tips from the professor during breaks and the weekends. Maybe he should join them. It doesn't sound so bad and actually sounds pretty fun. Plus, he'd learn more about the other two this way.
Yeah! Sounds awesome!
Wait...Luffy wanted to meet up during the break. Ah, he can't this time.
Maybe next time...
"Okay, for those who could not do the spell, don't forget that the homework is to practice!"
Ah...his I-can't-do-my-homework disease is acting up again...
Professor Flitwick turned to him with a smile. "And I won't take your disease excuse. You must do it as well!" He squeaked and the boy slumped while other students laughed. Justin and Ernie chuckled, patting his back.
~.~.~
Right now, he envied Zoro's and Luffy's ability to just fall asleep. He also somewhat envied Ace's condition. But he didn't really want that...in any case...WHY MUST HISTORY OF MAGIC BE SO DAMN BORING!
He slammed his head against his desk, surprising the others who jumped and looked around - some had the damn nerve to fall asleep! - but the ghost teacher either ignored the slam or didn't notice it at all. He was going with the later.
And instead, the teacher droned on...and on...
And on...
And on...
And on...
And on...
...Zzzzzzz...
~.~.~
A sudden thought came to his mind regarding some of his friends as he headed down to the Grand Hall. Then suddenly, Luffy crashed into him with a laugh. "Come on, Usopp! Let's hurry and eat!" He cried as he pulled his friend along who screamed in terror at the speed they were going.
Soon, the floor's gonna burn with the speed Luffy was going at.
~.~.~
"Nami, I've been wondering," Nami looked at him after taking a sip of her pumpkin juice. Next to her was Zoro, munching on his meal with ease as the rest of the Slytherins glared at him. Next to the green haired teen was Luffy who munched alongside him while Sanji was across from Nami, hearts in his eyes while the Slytherins besides him tried to inch away. "Nojiko said something about you charging your roommates so they could take a shower. Why do you do it?"
Nami's eyes glinted. "For money." She said as a matter of fact. At the same time, her roommates screamed angrily.
He sweat dropped before turning to those girls. "Why don't you just stand up to her?" He asked. "She illegally took your stuff."
"Usopp! How could you say that?" Nami asked, her eyes twinkling with innocence that instantly, Luffy and Zoro cringed. "And it wasn't illegally. They gave me their stuffs willingly."
He blinked before turning to the girls with questionable eyes. They were crying but the look in their eyes explained that what Nami said was true.
"Nami, you're so cruel..." They all turned to see Nojiko with a sweat drop. Then she made a thumbs up. "Good for you."
"YOU'RE NOT GONNA TELL HER OFF!?" He and the Slytherin girls screamed as Nami merely gave her own thumbs up. "Besides, how did they willingly give their stuff to you?"
Nami looked at him blankly. "I asked if I could see their shampoo and body wash. Then asked if I could take it."
The rest of the Slytherin table and the others looked at the girls who slumped their heads down. "I thought she just wanted to borrow it..." One muttered, tears in her eyes. "I didn't think she would take it and make me pay to use it..."
"Then why don't you ask your parents for new ones?" He asked.
Another girl glared at him. "Shut up Hufflepuff brat! I don't need to tell you!"
He backed away, his expression shocked while Luffy laughed. "She called you a brat!"
"Shut up, Gryffindor scum!"
Luffy blinked before turning to Zoro. "What's scum?"
"YOU DON'T KNOW!?" He, Nami, and Nojiko screamed as Zoro proceeded to tell him. "YOU'RE JUST GOING ALONG WITH HIM!?"
"Anyway," He said before sitting next to Sanji who was still spouting his love for Nami and Nojiko. "Why don't you guys don't stand up to her? And the rest of the house too. I mean, I know she's...somewhat mean..." He muttered as Nami gave him an evil smile. "...but it doesn't mean you older guys can't stand up to her. Seriously, how pathetic." He said with a sly smile before Malfoy appeared and bonked him upside the head. "OUCH!"
"SHUT UP! SHE'S NOT IN YOUR HOUSE! YOU WOULDN'T KNOW!" He screamed, his anger getting the best of him.
"DIDN'T MEAN YOU HAD TO PUNCH ME!" He screamed back, tears in his eyes. By then, Harry and Ron who had came over to bring Luffy back to the table just turned and left, not wanting to bother with the craziness that was happening at the Slytherin table. They were too surprised at Malfoy to remember to get Luffy and instantly wanted to get away. They already had enough madness with Luffy being in each and every one of their classes apparently.
Finally, Nami sighed. "I'm getting tired of their stares." She said, indicating to the Slytherin house who glared at her and her friends. Most of them, like Nojiko were watching the Hufflepuff boy and Malfoy scream at each other blankly, just like the Ravenclaw girl. "I mean, I know I'm beautiful but still." Nami continued, making the Slytherin turn their stares at her, thinking curses.
"YES! YOU'RE TOO BEAUTIFUL, NAMI! YOU SHINE LIKE THE SUN!" Sanji screamed before the long nose slapped him upside the head.
"Enough out of you!"
Nami turned to Nojiko. "Can I go over to your table?"
Her sister was laughing before nodding. "Sure. Wanna come guys?"
Zoro shrugged before standing up. "Sure. These idiots are getting on my nerve." He said as Luffy followed like a puppy, his eyes shining.
"Is Sabo there?" He asked like a puppy. Nojiko blushed at the cute face before nodding. The straw hat boy cheered before dashing over to Ace, grabbing him and dragging the poor boy all the way to the Ravenclaw table where Nami already was.
With a sigh, the long nose Hufflepuff followed Sanji, now ignoring Malfoy who gave him a death glare. He shivered. "I feel faint and tired."
Sanji laughed. "About what?"
"...This school is crazy..." He muttered.
The blonde Gryffindor laughed again. "You'll get used to it, Usopp."
"I wonder..." Usopp muttered as he watched the Ravenclaw table erupt in madness. To the side, Sabo was cracking up while Ace and Luffy had their own little food battle. Nami was talking happily with her sister while Zoro was sleeping on the ground for some strange reason. Tashigi arrived as well, happily talking with her older sister and before long, Sanji ran towards them, declaring his love for all the girls.
Usopp chuckled when Luffy motioned him to come over. "Come on Usopp!"
"Fine, I'm coming! Ah...DON'T EAT EVERYTHING, YOU IDIOTS! LEAVE SOME FOR ME!"
Kura: ...Yups...I was right. The hardest to write was Usopp. And probably the shortest compared to Zoro and Nami...SORRY USOPP!
Berry: The beginning seemed alright but this last part, not so much.
Kura: WAH! Usopp, why must you be so difficult!
Berry: :)
Kura: In any case, I'll try to do better with him in the other shots.
Berry: Once again, thank you for the reviews :)
Kura: Oh, before we go, I wanted to ask about Franky. If anybody has any idea how to put him in, I'll take them! I really don't know how to bring Franky in these shots. Robin's was already decided. She's gonna be a teacher. Brook's...is a secret! XD In any case, Chopper's will be interesting too. Some reviewers said that Chopper should stay as a half reindeer half human so I'm just gonna go with that.
Berry: That being said, we were also wondering about Vivi. Anybody has an idea which house she should be in?
Kura: Lastly, somebody mentioned Luffy saying Voldermort's name wrong. At that point, I kinda wanted Luffy to give nicknames to every teacher or just to people whose names are hard to say. If anybody has nicknames they want Luffy to call somebody, please do tell in your reviews! XD
Berry: :) We hope everybody enjoyed this shot :)
Kura: BYES! XD And please review T^T
