Chapter 14: Ammwelling.
A.N. I don't own anything from Harry Potter because they all belong to the one and only J., and please no bad reviews or hate reviews! And I'm so sorry I haven't been writing for the past 2 days, I have been doing so much work at home and school and I've had no time to do ANYTHING, and on the 24th November it was my sisters birthday so I had to go out, so I had no time AT ALL. Oh and the REAL Zee helped me with this chapter.
The day was getting closer now, the dead James had been dreading all week. The first task. He didn't know how to climb or he didn't know how to defeat a dragon! He needed help. Desperate help/ He asked Andy if there was any advice, but Andy was reading up on things for James about how to defeat a dragon, or how to distract a dragon! He asked Ash and as much as she wanted to help she couldn't, she was afraid of heights and had never climbed so high before, but she knew SOMETHING about dragons. She told James that dragons can be controlled by the sound of drums, but how in the world was James supposed to distract with drums while he was climbing, none of his hands or feet were going to be free!
Then James gave up and then sat down looking sad and nervous on the red sofa near the fireplace, in the library, he didn't notice someone was next to him though. Zee was there reading the latest daily prophet.
'Hey Potter, why the sad face?' She said.
'What do you want Zee?' Replied Potter
'I'm just asking what is the matter with you!'
'Oh… Nothing it's just I can't find anything on how to defeat a dragon or how to climb or anything!'
'Maybe I can help…'
'Can you really?...'
'Yeah, course I can, I have been reading some herbology books lately and I found something which might be able to help you climb!'
'Really, there's ACUTALLY something which can help me climb?'
'Oh my god James, this is a wizarding world, how can there NOT be something to make you climb?'
'Oh… Yeah I forgot…'
'Its something called… Ammwelling'
'AMMWELLING?'
'Yes Ammwelling…'
'And what does it do…?'
'It helps you to…' Zee got interrupted; a girl who was in Slytherin was giving Zee and James the evils. She had been watching them for days and now she had found out who they were. She thought they were ALWAYS talking about Slytherin and were talking about her because of the way they looked at her. Her black hair was tied up and she looked innocent. But was she?
She was reading a book and was also looking at James and Zee and Zee stopped talking because she saw that the girl was watching her.
'Hey, are you okay?' Said Zee going up to the girl.
'IM FINE JUST GO AWAY ZEE I DON'T NEED YOU!' Replied the girl
'What did I do?' Zee thought to herself, from then on they were enemies. Proper enemies and Zee swore if the girl said anything about her (Zee) James or Ash she would cast the cruciatus curse on her. But forgetting about what just happened, Zee continued; 'It helps you to do whatever your heart truly wants to do…'
'But what my heart truly wants to do isn't to climb…' Whispered James
'I'm only kidding, I just wanted you to say you still really liked Ash. Ammwelling helps the person who drinks it to climb fast, but also shields them from a powerful element, in this case fire. But, the problem is, if you have an overdose you can get very, very hurt. But I don't even know what the overdose is!'
'Zee… That's really helpful. You know something for me but you don't know what the most important thing in drinking it is?'
'I'm sorry, I got told all this by Ash and her 'magical' book'
'Ash told you?'
'Yeah, she did. A year ago!'
'Do you think she will still have her magical book with her?'
'Yeah of course she will. I gave it to her for her birthday!'
'Thanks Zee!'
'Welcome Potter'
Then James went off to search for Ash until the girl who was staring at James and Zee before came in front of James.
'You were talking about me weren't you?' Said the girl.
'No, I wasn't, and I don't even know who you are?' Replied James
'But I know who you are thanks for being SOOO honest JAMES POTTER'
James starting smiling because who could be as stupid as that girl? Yes she looked innocent and yes to everyone she killed people with her kindness, she also poisoned things into other people's mind, until James and Zee saw this horrible side of her. Hugo described her as a two- faced git. While James was still searching for Ash, he came to a slytherin he knew well, his name was Chris and he was just walking casually.
'Oh hey James!' He said
'Hey Chris. Can I ask you something?' Said James
'Sure, anything'
'What is that girl called? The one who always is in the library, the innocent looking one, the one with black hair, which is always tied up, the one who poisoned that horrible story into your mind?'
'Oh that's Chloe. Chloe A. No one knows her second name because apparently its so horrible, she tells no one'
'CHLOE A?'
'Yes Chloe A. Now please excuse me I have places to be. Bye!'
Chris left and with the first task being less than 24 hours away, James was worrying, he was sure Ash was somewhere! But then he had an idea, when he got somewhere secret, he took out the marauders map and he opened it up and then searched everywhere for Ash. He saw on the map that the girl Chloe A was in a teachers office, looked like she was snitching on someone. Then finally James found Ash, she was with Aleksandar, in the great hall. James quickly ran to the great hall and then saw both of them playing wizard chess on a table. Ash didn't look very interested though, she looked like she wanted to be far, far away from Aleksandar. Ash then turned as she moved her bishop and saw James and then stood up and then ran to him. When she reached James she hugged him and then whispered in his ear 'Just play along, I want to make this dumb foul git jealous'
James nodded and then Ash went to look at him.
'Oh James. I have not seen you in ages, would you like to play wizard chess with me and Aleksandar?' She said
'No thank you, I am here to tell you, Professor Lockhart called us for a lesson so we have to go'
'Oh thanks for telling me James, one second I will go and tell Aleksandar'
Ash ran back to Aleksandar and told him about where she had to go, so she just nodded and then went back to James and then they both ran out of the great hall and back to the Gryffindor Common Room.
'You look like you want something. What?' She said
'I wanted to know if you could give me more information about this Ammwelling' James replied
'Sure. What do you want to know about it?'
'Where can I get it from and what is the overdose?'
'You can get it from Herbology greenhouse 2, in the liquids section, or you could go into the Potions cupboard and then steal it from there. And the overdose is 5 cups, what you should have is 2-3 cups, depends how fast you want to go'
'Thank you so much Ash ! I'll quickly go get it now for tomorrow' Said James while hugging Ash.
Ash looked at James and she absolutely loved the hug she got from him. James went though, because he wanted to be ready for the next day. As soon as he had his cups of Ammwelling he went back to the common room and then he started to get ready for the first task tomorrow. All of the champions were given outfits to wear at every task, for this task, James was given a body suit which had the number of James and 'POTTER' on the back and was given a helmet for protection, and yes they were all the right size for James! The colours for James were Red and Gold, the colours of Gryffindor and the same colours that both Ash and James both liked. They were also all given gloves for protection and they were allowed their wands as well. While James was getting ready for tomorrow, Ash was worrying so much. All her friends were around her and they were all worried as well. That was worried about Ash. Rhea was worried about Sid and about him getting hurt, Fi was worried about Albus, the way he would feel if he lost a brother. Rachel was thinking about Andy, the way Andy would feel if he lost his best mate and Zee wasn't worrying at all, she knew what James was doing and she was telling everyone to stop worrying! She was probably the loudest in this worrying moment!
It was now night and no one could sleep, in a few hours was the first task…
First Task… Here we come.
