Chapter 17
That night, I had the same dream that I had had a while ago. The one about he guy who looked a little like me, and the lady with red hair. It's strange. I can't seem to remember the dream! Anyway, afterwards, I woke up, shaking and sweating. As I drifted back to sleep, I thought I hears the swish of a cloak around our door, but I dismissed it, and fell back asleep.
I was woken the next morning by my "alarm clock." I think that it was supposed to be a magical version of the alarm clock. But the wizard who tried to make it was a Squib. Or worse. It went off ten minutes early, and instead of beeping, it farted. I suppose that my uncle didn't know this when he got it for me, but it's the only way that I can get up in the morning. Whatever.
So, when the farting noise woke me up at ten to eight, I dragged myself out of bed, only to find the room a COMPLETE mess. All the clothes were strewn all around the room, and everyone's trunk had been searched. Except for Peter's. 'Hmm...' I though, 'that's strange.' But as I walked towards the bathroom to shower, I forgot all about it.
After breakfast, we had Flying. We only had it occasionaly, so this was the first time we had gotton to fly. I was really excited. I was shocked to hear that Sirius was dreading it-he hated heights. But my biggest surprise was when I walked towards the feild, I saw that the teacher was Joanna! Ok. That must have been a hallucination. I rubbed my eyes, and looked again. It was Joanna. What was she doing here? And I thought I was excited before our lesson! After seeing that I wouldn't have to wait a whole year before seeing Joanna again, I felt like bouncing off the sky!
Chapter 18
As I skipped towards her, I got questioning looks from everyone else. Hufflepuff actually said, "why are you skipping? And is that lady your sister, or something?" I nodded, and skipped the last few paces to Joanna. "Now Jamsie," she said in a sweet voice, "don't think that you'll be getting special treatment from me." I sooo didn't believe her, espeicially when she winked at me.
Flying was so much fun! Even Sirius had fun. And he admitted it! As we walked back to the castle, we were confronted by...Filch. He was steaming mad. "Potter and Black! You each have detention for the rest of the week!" Sirius and I tried to look upset. "Your fisrt two detentions will be scrubbing the girls toilets." Sirius and I glances at each other, amused. "And the rest of your detentions will be in the trophy room, scrubbing the trophys!" He was so mad, he forgot to remind us that we couldn't use magic. Ha! As we walked away, Sirius and I gave each other high fives. "Seven detentions!" Exclaimed Sirius, "I couldn't have hoped for more!" I, too was excited. We had the detentions written down, but we could get them done in a flash. And if we used magic for the detentions, probabaly get a couple of MORE detentions!
