Sleep Over
Chapter four ( I think.)
A/N: ok, this is the last part, I think. I'm working on a series threw the eyes of Harmony, and it is taking up a lot of time, and then I've started ANOTHER one where the marauders write a fic.it's very.odd I guess you could say, so this just escaped my mind. Then I have to go to Washington to see my aunt for a week, but I'll take my mom's laptop, and I'll write on there and move the files to my computer later.. ( we have a network for all three computers. I'll just save it on the hard drive and move it later, or I'll just upload from her house..) When I get back, it's back to school for me. oh so sad.. I don't wanna be a freshman. They have freshmen Friday, and it's just not cool. oh well, next year will be my turn to torture they people I hate most in the world. I'm just lucky that I was a year older, almost every person that I can't stand in a year younger than me.. ok enough with the babbling. I'm sure you don't care, so on with the story!!
Chapter Four- Of Cleaning and Explanations
"Six thirty, what are you? Some kind of a madwoman?" Peter asked, burrowing deeper into his blankets.
"No, now get up, the attic is waiting," Mrs. Jackson Muttered under her breath as she exited the room. The boys could hear her yelling at the girls in the next room.
"Well, I guess we should get up," Remus said, sitting up in bed.
"Remus, what are you? A traitor?" James asked, yawning.
"No, I just want to survive the weekend." He stood up, and looked out the window. "I figure if I get on her good side, she'll go easy on me,"
Peter sat bolt upright, and jumped out of bed. "I'm with him!" he walked over to Remus, "You my friend, are brilliant."
"You know, Remus might be right Sirius, maybe we should surrender and go with the other side."
"James. are you ok?" Sirius asked, looking slightly worried. "There is no maybe, I'm there!" he did just as Peter and James followed shortly.
"Are you up?" Lily asked sleepily from the other side of the door.
"Yeah," Peter answered. Lily obviously didn't believe them as she opened the door and peered inside.
"Hey, they are up," she called over her shoulder.
"Come on, we better eat before the madwoman strikes again," Melody called from the bathroom across the hall, brushing her hair.
They all made their way down the two flights of stairs and ate in silence, listening to the seemingly endless lecture on how important it is to listen, and not sneak out, and so on.
"Ok, your assignment. You have to clean out the attic, and then decorate it, with out magic,"
"Decorate it for what?" Harmony asked.
"You remember your Aunt Nicole? She's getting married to a nice fellow named Cameron, oh what is his name. I'll think of it latter. Here is a picture of what I want that attic to look like when you're done with it,"
They made their way up the stairs, and then into the attic. It was one huge room, filled with cobwebs and all sorts of other things. It had a few boxes in the corner, they would have to be moved to a storage room. and to make things worse, everything was covered in a heavy layer of dust.
"Ok, so I guess we sweep first." Lily started.
"One question, where are all the decorations and the brooms and mops and stuff?" Sirius asked.
"Closet," Melody said, leading them over to a door that none of them had noticed before.
Inside there were several brooms dustpans and mops. Buckets hung from hooks on the wall, and all kinds of cleaning potions and other things of that sort were on a shelf, above the buckets.
They all grabbed a broom, and went to work.
"So Remus, what was that fight about?" Lindsey asked, sneezing at the large amount of dust in the air.
"I'm not sure, he started to say things about how it'd be a shame if Hogwarts found out that I was a werewolf, then he pulled out his wand, I told him to put it away, and he pounced, I guess you could say," he explained.
"Pounced?" James asked, from the middle of the room.
"It's the first thing that came to mind." Remus said.
"I think he just likes the word." Miranda giggled from the other side of the room. For being so far apart, they could hear perfectly.
"Yeah," Lily agreed. "Au chew!"
"Bless you!" Harmony said. Then she too sneezed. It soon became a viscous circle of sneezing and bless yous. After about 20 minutes, they had completed the task of sweeping, but then they had to mop.
"You're a song, written by the hands of god don't get me wrong, cause this might sound to you a bit odd but you own the place were all my thoughts go hiding And right under your clothes Is were I find them" Lily sang.
"Whoa, nice voice, Lil," Peter said, mopping the floor around him.
"Thanks, but it's nothing compared to Harmony's." Lily said, blushing, she had not realized she was singing out loud.
"Oh really?" Sirius said, eyeing her, suspiciously.
"Prove it," Peter said, rinsing his mop.
"Fine, what do you want me to sing?" she asked, irritated.
"Crazy," Miranda said, "you said you loved that song,"
"Fine. Don't watch me!"
"Ok." James pretended to busy himself with mopping.
Harmony laughed nervously, "well, I can't remember that, so how bout something else?"
"How bout that Jennifer Lopez song that you were lip sinking to at the dance?" Remus suggested.
"Ok, oh god I can't believe I'm doing this," she muttered. "Money, cars for a while walked around with a smile but deep inside, I could hear voices telling me "this ain't right" Don't you know, it's not for you I always knew what I had to do But it's hard to get away Cause I love you I just got to say"
"Whoa! That was good," Lindsey interrupted her.
"I know something that none of you know about Harmony!!" Melody said, in a sing song voice.
"I used to want to be a singer," she confesed, blushing.
"Why is that so bad?" Lily asked.
"Stage fright," she answered simply.
"Why don't you finish your song?" Pete asked.
"Ok. I used to say I didn't do it, but I did it Telling everybody that I wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright I said I didn't do it, but I did it Telling everybody that I wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright,"
"Well, I think I found my wedding singer," An unfamiler voice said, from the door way.
"I take it you are Cameron?" Melody asked.
"Yes, and you are Melody, or Harmony?" he asked.
"I'm Harmony," she said, sticking the mop in the bucket.
"Who was singing?" A pretty woman asked.
"Me," Harmony said.
"You have quite some voice."
"Thanks, I think," she replied, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Would you like to sing at our wedding?" She asked, she assumed that this was her Aunt Nicole.
"Are you kidding?" Melody asked, "She wouldn't sing in public if her life depended on it,"
"Are you saying I'm chicken," Harmony asked, angered at her sister's assumption.
"No, She's not," Lily said.
"You said it yourself that you have stage fright," Sirius said, trying to reason with her.
"What ever. When is it?"
"Next Monday," Cameron answered.
"Wish I could, But, I have plans"
"Ok,"
The two went down stairs, and the others continued to clean, and decorate.
"How are we saposed to hang this?" Harmony asked frustrated.
"I don't know," Lily said, almost throwing the white tensile on the ground.
"Ok, look, who is the lightest here?" Remus asked.
"Miranda" James, Sirius Pete, Lily and Lindsey said all at once.
"Why?" Miranda asked, sounding kind of worried.
"Well, Sirius can pick you up, because he's the tallest, and you can hang the things." Remus finished.
"Ok, just don't drop me," she said, edging slightly away from Sirius as she said this.
"Don't Worry, I won't," he promised.
They soon found that this was the best way to get the high up decorations, and soon they were done with the grueling task of decorating and cleaning.
"I need to rest," Peter said half way down the stairs.
"Yea, Mir may be light, but after a while, it feels like your holding a cow. No offence,"
"None taken," Miranda said, soon, they got to the rooms were their stuff was.
"I need to sit down," James said, flopping onto a bed.
"Move it, That's mine," Lily said, adding a puppy dog look for additional persuasion.
Suddenly out of nowhere, Sirius's stomach let out a huge growl.
"What time it is any way?" He asked.
"Oh my god, It's almost five o'clock." Melody said, looking at her watch.
"Oh, dinner time, I haven't eaten since 6:30," Peter said, licking his lips.
"Come on, I think we've rested enough to get to the kitchen," Lindsey said.
They trooped down to the kitchen, and started to go threw cabinets, and the refrigerator. Soon, they had eaten their fill.
"The attic looks great," Mr. Jackson said, sitting at the dinning room table with them.
"Thanks," they all said.
"Well, you're free to do what you please, but be back by nine." With that, he got up and left.
"Well, what do we do?" Miranda asked.
"I say we go to my room, and listen to music." Harmony said. They walked to the second floor, and down the hall a little, and into a large room, whit furniture lining the purple walls. The bed had a dark blue blanket with stars ("they glow in the dark") all over it. There was glow in the dark frogs, hands and feet as well as stars all over her room. There were wizard pictures every where, she had her makeup strewn out on a little desk as well as many different kinds of sparkly body spray. There was an entertainment center with a huge flamingo on top of a TV, and a CD player, along with a playsation two. (I know that there was no playstation to, but hey, I was on a roll, I was basically describing my room. my blanket really does glow in the dark. oh, and she lives in a Muggle neighborhood, but both her grandparents are wizards. I just felt like them living in a castle with Muggle things.)
They listened to the music, and talked all night, stopping occasionally leaving for something to eat. They fell asleep all over Harmony's floor. Lily was slumped up against a wall, and Peter had somehow ended up using her ankles as a pillow. Harmony was half under and half not under the bed. Remus was on her arm. James leaning against the bed, his head tilted back, snoring loudly. Melody was curled up in the middle of the floor. Sirius was lying flat against the wall. Lindsey was against the wall by Lily. Miranda too was out in the middle of the floor.
This is where we leave them, sleeping, and not causing anymore trouble. sorry if this didn't turn out how you had hoped. I know I'm a bit disappointed with it. I was hoping to have it turn out better, maybe a little more humor, but, oh well. I had this great idea for this, but I forgot it. AHHH!! Evil. Ok, well review.
