Eeeep! Sorry, I was busy! I had to get ready for a Japanese Exchange student that will be hanging with me at school! Sweet right?
Well that and I was geeking out over the new pokemon game (Don't expect to see me Sunday, I'm gonna be busy with my new Snivey) and being lazy. At least it's up now though! Enjoy!

I felt my eyes droop as the Ravenclaw Team continued to read their enormous book of French and English poetry aloud. Blaise was already snoring softly next to me, though how he managed to sleep while standing I would never know.
X-X-X-X-X
After about a half hour of torture, the teachers had heard enough and stopped them early. I was extremely grateful, the book was over six-hundreed pages long, and we had only gotten to page twenty. The team forlornly left the stage, taking that atrocious book with them, as magical curtains appeared, concealing the stage from view.
Magical noises were heard as the red velvet curtains swished in the breeze. About five minutes later, the curtains opened as the Hogwarts Team's reenactment of Romeo and Juliet began.
There was no magic used as the play finished the introduction and moved into a brawling scene, punches were thrown, and people fell to the ground. They even used a bit of fake blood, and I grudgingly had to admit it looked pretty authentic.
That is, until Juliet walked onto the stage fifteen minutes later. She had flaming red hair and an attitude that would've made the real Juliet faint in shock. Yes, the Weaselette was playing Juliet, and it was horrible.

I thought Ginny was doing a pretty good job so far, and the play was just about to start the balcony scene. Harry/Romeo made his way through the fake garden (magically made I might add) and approached the tower. He said his lines and a red head appeared from within the miniature tower.
It wasn't Ginny.
I was stunned. Ron was standing in the tower, wearing a pale pink dress and looking rather murderous. Ron grudgingly hissed his lines between clenched teeth, and Harry leaned in to stage kiss him. They were just about to 'kiss', when Harry was shot through the set and off the stage to the left.
Stunned once again, I watched Hermione walk onto the stage and announce that the play was over while smiling brightly. I shivered. "Think Harry's gonna be alright...?" I asked tentatively.
Yue nodded. "He's Harry Potter. He's had worse."
X-Clau-X-Clau-X-Clau-X-Clau-X-
I paced the stage as I waited for our drummer to get here. Where was she! My spaz moment was interrupted as a Llama tromped up the stairs and onto the stage, a girl that was a bit shorted than me on its back. Said girl brushed her brown hair out of her eyes ( that were just a shade lighter than her hair color) as she hopped off the Llama.
I whirled around and darted over to her, shaking her by the shoulders. "WHERE. WERE. YOU. SHANNON!" I yelled. The girl was saved from my grip as her Llama head butted me. "Ack." I said as I fell on my butt. Shannon helped me up.
"You know, Hima-Llama is always late." She informed me, gesturing to her caramel colored companion. I apologized for shaking her, I had forgotten…
X-Draco-X-Draco-X-Draco-X-Draco-X
I watched the stage turn into a metallic substance as the curtains vanished. An unfamiliar brown haired girl was sitting behind a black drum set that was outlined in lines of rainbow. That other girl, Sal I think was her name, was sitting behind a keyboard, while the twins were each playing a different kind of guitar.
White fog billowed around the stage, flowing off the edge like a waterfall. Then a voice echoed around the stage. "Colors of the rainbow…Rainbow…Rainbow…" Then, Clau appeared on stage, wearing all black clothing with Rainbow trim. She held a microphone aloft as she sang the first verse, the other instruments making a steady beat behind her. "So damn sure, you wanna look kind- 24/7 on my mind. All I ever wanted is to be with you, making me feel~ so brand new. I thought I could love no more~, one too many times before. Every time I look up to the sky, I've got you on my mind."
A variety of colored strobe lights flashed behind her as the keyboard and drums really picked up the beat. Students thronged at the stage, and I too was pushed in their direction. I stared in disbelief, they had thrown a CONCERT!
"I thought I could love no more, one too many times before. Every time I look up to the sky, I've got you on my mind." Clau sang, some colorful fireworks exploding above the stage and putting the other students as well as myself into a state of awe. "Colors of the rainbow… Colors of the rainbow… Colors of the rainbow… Colors of the rainbow…" She sang, repeating the chorus, before moving on to more of the song. "Colors of the rainbow shine so bright, every time I look into your eyes. It's the colors of the rainbow feeding my soul, over and over just like you do." Clau danced slightly as she sang, repeating her last few lines before singing, "Over and over, just like you do~."
The song ended and a new curtain appeared, this one a midnight blue, concealing the stage once more.
X-Clau-X-Clau-X-Clau-X-Clau-X
I waited anxiously as did the rest of the students gathered in the Great Hall. Dumbledore had returned and was announcing the results. "The winners of this competition worked very hard, and clearly deserve their victory. The winning team is… The team from Merlins Mages Academy!"
I jumped up, glomping the twins as our tiny group celebrated. If there was one American trait we shared, it was to never give up!
X-X-X-X-X
I basked in our victory as I stared out at the giant squid in the lake. "So Clau, who're ya taking to the dance?" Asked Shannon. I froze, staring out at the squid, before relaxing.
"You know Shannon, I have a plan for that."
