Miles Potter
Chapter: 3
AS Miles and Joe sat down at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall they looked for Aimee. She wasn't there though. I wonder where she is though Miles. The hasn't been anything she's ever kept for me at least. Why did she act so funny after Potions.
"Joe," Miles asked. "Where do you think Aimee is!?"
"I dunno, I was thinking the same thing." Just the Aimee burst into the Great Hall panting.
"Sorry I was late." She said breathless. "I ran all the way here."
"Oh," said Joe and Miles.
"But why were you acting so strange after Potions?" asked Miles.
"Oh… it was nothing," she said.
"Whatever," said Joe. Just then all of the owls flew in with parcels for everyone. Miles owl was a tawny owl called Cinnamon. She flew in with a package from his parents. He opened it immediately! His mum and dad had sent him some chocolate frogs, 50 galleons, and the invisibility cloak that his father had had in his years at Hogwarts.
"What'd ya get?" asked Aimee as she saw Miles reading the card from his parents;
Dear Miles,
I hope you are having fun your first few days with Joe and Aimee. I sent you some chocolate frogs and some money just incase u need it. Dad sent u the cloak just as he promised and I hope u don't loose it.
Love,
Mum
"Oh some chocolate frogs 50 galleons and the invisibility cloak! What about you?" asked Miles.
"A card and some jellybeans." She replied.
"And Joe what did you get?" asked Aimee and Miles together.
"A new chess set and some of me mum's homemade fudge."
"You're lucky," said Miles.
"I know," said Joe in a teasing way. Dumbledore rang the bell and the house elves came out and served them all breakfast. They ate as fast as they could so they would have time to sent their parents an owl. After they all had finished they rushed quickly to the owlry. Cinnamon was there waiting to carry another message so Miles wrote quickly on a piece of parchment;
Dear Mum and Dad,
I have to get to Potions but thanks for the money, chocolate and cloak! And I'm doing fine. Aimee is acting a little strange but don't worry we're all fine.
Miles
He tied the parchment around Cinnamon's leg and sent her off. After Aimee and Joe were ready they ran down 3 flights of stairs to the dungeons for Potions with the Ravenclaws. Arrived just in time. Starp was taking attendance.
"Last time we worked on the sleeping potion for the Gryffindors am I right?"
"Yes," they all answered.
"Good, good and the same of the Hufflepuffs, am I right?" he asked over his nose perched glasses.
"Yes," they all muttered in return. He told all of them to take out their little bottles of sleeping potion and bring them up to his desk. They all walked up single file and put the contents on the desk in front of him.
"Very good." He kept repeating until he got to Astrid Calomana's. She was a girl that never paid attention in class, and when I say never I mean, never!
"What have we got here?" he said as Astrid produced the bottle from her robes.
"I made myself," she said. "From scratch!"
"Oh Astrid what have I told you about listening to my directions when I am speaking instead of laughing with Marie?!"
"Nothing," she answered flatly.
"Well Astrid I have told you before that that if you don't follow directions there are consequences!" he said sternly. "Now if it happens again… Dumbledore and detention! Got it?!"
"No," she said stubbornly.
"Ah!" he said shooing her away to her seat. She walked away smiling as usual when she handed in a bad paper or got into trouble. "Sorry for that delay children some people have to work on their listening skills." And he looked at Astrid as if singling her out. Astrid just sat their smiling right back at him as if nothing happened.
"She's so stupid!" Joe whispered to Miles.
"Gee you can say that one again." He whispered back.
"Weasly, Potter did you have something to say?"
"No!" they both said together. After that they shut up. Professor Starp told them all for homework that they had to write a 100 word essay about how the and why the sleeping potion is used. They all ground and got up from their desks and headed for Transfiguration. As they were walking down corridor 11B a announcement came over a speaker. "Will all students please head to their house common rooms immediately let me repeat will a student head to their common rooms immediately!" Miles, Joe and Aimee were surprised to hear this but like all the other students they ran to the Gryffindor common room. "I wonder what's happening?" said Joe as he sat down with Miles to a game of wizard chess.
"Me too!" said Miles. "I hope nothing bad happened. Let's wait for Nearly-Headless-Wesley to tell us." Nearly-Headed-Wesley was their House ghost and told them a lot of things when they wanted to know. He was Nearly-Headless-Nicks son. Just then the small ghost appeared behind them. "Hello kids!" he said brightly. "If you've been wanting to know there have been sightings of Voldemort's son on the grounds so everyone was sent to their common rooms for safety's sake."
"Oooohhh!" said Aimee. "DO you think will be sent away from Hogwarts?"
"There is a possibility. You all know that Voldelan is very power and I'll leave it at that," said the ghost as disappeared.
