"Will you count me in I've
been awake for a while now It starts in my toes The rain is falling on my window pane
You've got me feelin like a child
now
Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles
in a silly place
And I crinkle my
nose
Wherever it goes I'll always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever
you go
But we are
hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying safe and warm
You
give me feelings that I adore"
She ended that last note on her guitar.
"You have a real talent," Hennery told her.
Since Jennifer was the last person, Hennery told everyone that the final list would be posted, and that he was really sorry for anyone who didn't make it, he only had space for 15.
Jennifer left to go to class, she was late 10 minutes.
She knocked on the door and it flew open.
"Nice of you to join us Ms. Lawson," McGonagall told her, her back was towards her.
"Sorry I'm late; the auditions got held up a little bit." She said in a hurry.
"I don't want it to happen next time." She told her, still her back to her.
Jennifer stood by the door, still, waiting for more lecturing.
"Do I have to send you a personal owl for you to take a seat Ms. Lawson?"
"Oh, um, no, I'm going, sorry." She said hurriedly taking a seat next to Lily.
"So far we've learned how to non-verbally change a goblet to a bird."
"Oh, that's easy." Jennifer whispered back.
"Have you checked up on Caroline?" Lily whispered.
"Yeah I went in the morning, she was sleeping. Madam Pomfrey said she would be out in a couple of days."
"That really sucks."
"Yeah I know, at least Black was enough of a gentlema—"
"Ms. Lawson! Late and talking? Do I have to hand out detentions?" McGonagall said.
"Sorry, Professor." Lily and Jennifer chimed.
Could you stop talking, Lawson? I'm trying to learn
-Sirius.
The note flew to her in a swan shape. When she read it, she smirked.
What are you trying to learn? The details of your desk? Or the actual lecture? Or are you trying to learn how much freckle's there are on Taylor's face? And how did you get to class so fast?
-Lawson
Lily leaned over to see what was on the note but Jennifer hid it from her, and passed it back to Black.
What do you think I'm here for Lawson? And I have my ways.
-Sirius
Oh I don't know, how about you tell me. What do u mean by 'you have your ways'?
-Lawson
"What is the meaning of this?" McGonagall snatched the note out of Sirius' hand and read it over. "Detention, Lawson and Black. My office after dinner."
"Great. Just what I needed." Jennifer mumbled.
"Did you say anything, Ms. Lawson, because if you did then I think the entire class would like to hear?"
"No Professor."
"Good, now get back to work."
"Yes, professor."
Sirius turned around in his seat and stuck his tongue out at Jennifer.
"Oh real mature." Jennifer whispered.
"Do you want another detention Jennifer," Lily asked.
That shut Jennifer up.
The rest of the class passed by quickly, but McGonagall had asked to see Jennifer at the end of the class.
"You're in for it Jennifer," Lily said before she left with Sirius and James.
'When did they become great chums?' Jennifer asked herself.
"Ms. Lawson," McGonagall started, "You have changed over the year. You used to be such a good student. Punctual, good grades. What happened?" She asked quietly.
"Sorry, it was a one time thing professor, it won't happen again."
"Make sure it doesn't." She said her voice sounded like it was the end of their 'talk'.
"When do you have to go?" Alice asked.
"Right after this," Jennifer said biting into her burger.
"Oh, that sucks." Alice said.
"Yeah I know. My first detention ever." Jennifer said while pouring pumpkin juice.
"When do you guys want to visit Caroline?" Lily asked wiping her face with a napkin.
"Um, how about, after my detention?"
"Won't that be too late?" Alice asked.
"Okay you guys go after dinner, and I'll go tomorrow."
"Sure."
"Sure."
Dinner ended really quickly for Jennifer's liking.
"Ok I'll see you guy's later."
"Bye Jenny,"
"Later Jen." Lily grabbed Alice's arm and steered her to the hospital wing.
"Lawson!" Sirius yelled. He was two steps away.
"What is with you, lord you're everywhere. You're just like that stalker song." Jennifer said walking to McGonagall's office, Sirius beside her. "You know that one?"
Sirius looked at Jennifer as if she were crazy.
"You know, 'He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake!' Apparently not, judging by you're face. Great now it's stuck in my head!" Jennifer said.
"Are you usually this crazy or is it a one time thing?" Sirius asked chuckling a little.
"Most of the time it goes on in my head. You know who's insane?"
"Me?"
"You are but someone else too."
Sirius looked at Jennifer with a blank expression.
"People who decorate cracker boxes are insane."
"It's true!"
"This one time, on the back of this cracker box, it said- 'Get ready for the most romantic taste of your life'."
"Like- what the hell!?!"
"I'm not going to fall in love with a freaking cracker!"
"Unless it's one of those awesome saltine ones- oh yeah, good stuff."
"You know who else is insane?"
"Who?" Sirius had to stop laughing to get the words out. It seems like Jennifer wasn't even paying attention to Sirius, maybe it had to do with first detention nerves.
"Those shampoo-makers!"
"You know those directions that come on almost every, single bottle of shampoo?"
"Lather. Rinse. Repeat."
"Have you ever realized that if you followed these directions exactly, you would end up shampooing your hair for the rest of your life?"
By now Sirius was holding on to the wall to get some air, but Jennifer kept on walking. Sirius ran to catch up to her.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!" Jennifer continued not realizing that Sirius had not been with her for a couple of minutes.
"Those shampoo people are freaking crazy!"
"They're sadistic bastards. That's what they are!"
"Seriously- it's got to be some sort of evil plan."
"They want people to just stay in the shower, lathering, rinsing, and repeating, until their hair falls out and they go bald!"
"But by the time they've gotten out of the shower, their skin is so pruned and wrinkled, that there is nothing that can be done about it, and it just stays like that until they eventually die."
"Oh my god…"
"Bald and wrinkled!"
"That's how old people are made!"
"Old people really aren't old; they've just shampooed their hair out of their heads, and gone all pruney!"
"Merlin, I'm a genius." She looked to her left and saw Sirius holding his stomach and laughing. Then she realized who she was with for the first time. The guy she hated. Who also hated her?
"Oh, I'm just going to shut-up now." Jennifer said her face colouring red.
"Wow, Lawson, you really are an original." Sirius said trying to regain some composure.
"Black are you serious-no pun intended- about Caroline?" She asked quietly.
"Well I like her. I mean she's cool." Sirius said.
"What about Taylor's?"
"What about Marissa? She just another girl."
"Okay, cool. So do you actually know where McGonagall's office is?"
"We're here." Sirius knocked on the door and went in.
"Are we allowed to go in?" Jennifer questioned.
"Come in Ms. Lawson.
"Oh right." Jennifer said and walked in.
A/N: This was a bunch of randomness. I thought I should get some of the things Jennifer thinks out in the public. Yes. Jennifer is really random in her head. She just likes to be normal on the outside. The next chapter is going to be the detention. I was too lazy to type it in this one. School has started so the updates are going to be slow; I'll try once a week. Maybe.
