Hello Readers. Shhh, don't tell my other stories that I am updating this one. To the readers of those other ones, sorry still can't write them all... I am currently job hunting and was inspired to write this because I am going to hang out with Linda tomorrow. (Yay, Linda)
Theory Time
Epic Narration Mode time:
Draco Malfoy didn't believe in Divination. Well he believed in it but he didn't believe he was good at it. Actually, that is also not true. Draco Malfoy believes he is good at everything. The thing Draco Malfoy doesn't usually believe in is his foreboding feelings. Like the time he thought there was someone else in the empty corridor with him and later decided he was imagining it. The fact the thing was really Harry Potter under his invisibility cloak is a moot point.
My point is that Draco Malfoy felt a threatening feeling that morning at breakfast. If he had believed more in his gut feelings he would have simply gone to Professor Snape and requested a sleeping potion so that he could sleep until the next day. Draco Malfoy, however, did not do this and instead decided the feeling was in his head. Which, as we all know, is ridiculous because feelings are felt in your heart or soul—not your head.
It should have come to no surprise to Draco that when he walked back to the dungeon common room, without his usual band of cronies, he was attacked.
"Bufofors" is the only thing Draco Malfoy heard before he was transformed into a toad. (Latin for toad -–according to google—with for added at the end to make it sound cool)
He knew he was a toad because as he tried to say very colorful words to his assailant all that came out of his mouth was a croak. He could have been a frog but Draco Malfoy is from the magical world so he immediately thinks toad not frog. I digress again.
Draco Malfoy magically, not literally, got out of his captor's freckled fingers and hopped away. He could hear the twin's laughter for most of his trip. He could also hear a girl's laugh that whenever it started to sound a bit evil she would cough.
Draco thought he would be safe enough to traverse into the dungeons and find Professor Snape who would somehow know who he was. He didn't think his plan through very well because do you know how many potions use toad parts as ingredients?
Lucky Draco was saved from his imminent death by Neville Longbottom who had just gotten out of detention with Professor Snape for blowing up his cauldron again. Actually his detention was supposed to be longer but apparently even empty cauldrons blow up in Neville's presence. What Neville didn't know was that he had been scrubbing Fred and George's cauldron which they had charmed to blow up if anyone else touched it.
Neville assumed that the rogue toad hopping through the corridor was his Houdini-like toad Trevor and proceeded to take him back to Griffindore tower. On the way there a portrait of a long deceased potions master was invaded by Lorble the Madman who threw some random ingredients into it causing it to blow up. This made Neville and Draco the first people to ever have a picture potion blow up on them. It also brought Neville's cauldron death count for that day up to 8 a record for Neville. Notice earlier I mentioned 'first people'. Draco Malfoy had the unfortunate luck to have the twin's spell end exactly when the potion blew up.
Filch found both boys passed out on the floor with singed clothes and took them to the hospital wing. He didn't even question what happened because one of the boys was Neville Longbottom.
Back to normal mode: haha normal
"You have only been here one day and you are already causing trouble." Dumbledore questioned smiling for no reason.
"I am that skilled." Linda said proudly.
"I don't understand why she is here at all, is she a student?" Mr. Malfoy asked.
"Yes."
"What house?"
"Special case."
"How?" Lucious narrowed his eyes while looking at Linda.
"Last year her and another girl, who will be here shortly, both magically appeared inside Hogwarts."
"Inside?" Lucious asked impressed.
"Yes, quite mysterious."
"How you figured out how?"
"I have a theory."
"You know I am still right here." Linda pointed out realizing that the males had forgotten she was there.
"What is your theory?" Lucious question ignoring Linda.
"I believe they are from another dimension."
"How did you know?" Linda questioned wide eyed.
"Your behaviors and actions are so different from ours."
"Oh, that. That isn't because of where we are from. We are strange no matter where we are." Linda shrugged.
"So you admit you aren't from this dimension?" Lucious questioned.
"Was I hiding it?" Linda wondered.
"How nice of you to be honest." Dumbledore said nicely to Linda.
"So why am I here?" I questioned walking into the room.
"Your friend Linda has pulled a nasty prank on young Mr. Malfoy."
"What exactly does that have to do with me?"
"Since you are the only person in the world with any sense of control over her we are releasing her into your custody."
"You mean if she does something than I will be at fault."
"As much as a parent is at fault if their children do something."
"When did I become the parent type?" I questioned Linda who shrugged while grinning at me.
"Are you sure it is safe to release her into the custody of someone like her?" Lucious questioned.
"I have to agree with him, is it really safe to have the two of us together?"
"She actually causes less damage when you are together."
"Really? I suppose she does, weird. I never noticed that before."
"Probably because usually when you are not with me you are in danger or being stalked by creepy people." Linda added.
"True. I think staying with Linda is a great idea. Maybe I will be safer with her."
"Remember when she tried to sacrifice you?"
"Maybe not then. At least if we are together that will keep away some of the danger." I mused.
"Why is she here?" Snape asked.
"Dumbledore's orders; she has to remain with me."
"It's like probation."
"Not like." I remarked dryly.
"I am a criminal!" Linda said happily.
"That is not something to be proud of." Severus drawled.
"I rob from the rich and give to the poor."
"You're not robin hood, you played a prank on Malfoy and got caught."
"So that's what I did wrong, I got caught."
"You are a horrible role model."
"I am a role model since when? I never agreed to that."
"I surely hope not."
"Then why did you mention it?"
"Bored?"
"You have no clue where you were going with that did you?"
"None what so ever."
About an hour into Linda and I sitting awkwardly in the potions classroom while Snape read essays and I read a book I took pity on Linda.
"Remember when we died? That time when we got poo-ed on?" I questioned Linda randomly.
"That was so weird. I was just like hey, the dinosaur is pooping and then bam!" Linda agreed.
"We died." I finished.
"That's disgusting." Snape said simply.
"Indeed it was." I agreed sagely.
"Why were there dinosaurs?" Snape questioned putting his papers down.
"We were playing Jurassic Park." I explained.
"What is that?"
"Poor Wizards, never knowing what arcade games based off of Dinosaur movies are."
"They do have magic so we can't pity them too much."
"You both can go." Snape sighed having enough of our conversation. I should have randomly started talking about being pooped on sooner.
"Puppy!" I shouted running to the dog that I saw in the woods.
"Candice that is a large dog."
"Puppy." I argued hugging the dog and petting it.
"You do realize who that is right?"
"A puppy." I repeated.
"You just like petting things."
"I do, because they are fuzzy." I said continuing to pet the dog whose tail was wagging at the attention it was receiving.
"They are going to wonder where we are."
"Fine, bye Sirius Puppy!"
"So you did know." Linda remarked.
"Did we just exchange brains for a moment?"
"Yeah you had the ADD part with no self control."
"And you were all logic-like."
"It was no fun."
"Yeah let's never do that again." I agreed.
Preview from next chapter: Dementor Time
"There is a flock of Dementors coming this way." I calmly informed Linda as we watched them fly out of the Forbidden Forest.
"Do they travel in flocks?"
"I figured since they fly they would be like birds."
"Some Squirrels can fly."
"Do squirrels travel with each other?"
"No."
"Then for all we know a bunch of squirrels could be a flock."
