Hello, this is Rosemary Mayer.
We were having so much fun just talking about Hogwarts and summer and such that we didn't notice Lucius Malfoy coming in.
"Well well well, look who became Prefects. Goody-goody Riddle and Snowden. What's coming next, huh, Crabbe, Goyle? Aliens invading Hogwarts and pigs flying in the air." Malfoy said.
"Oooh, I thought you already proved that a pig could fly by joining my Quidditch Team last year ... if you called that 'flying'. Good thing I kicked you out of the Slytherin Team." Tom said back.
"Good point, Tommy." Magnolia said. Did Tom just blush or was it my imagination?
"Being kicked off your Quidditch Team is better than having a jerk for Quidditch Captain. So thank you for booting me out of the field, Tom." Malfoy sneered.
Magnolia, Lila, Anna, Tom, and I stood up.
"You are SO not a Slytherin, Tom. You should have been put in the wimp house, Hufflepuff. Or maybe in the dumb house, Gryffindor." Malfoy said.
"Oh yeah? Well every house is special in their own way so I think the mistake here is that you were accidentally accepted into Hogwarts with your two gorillas." Magnolia sneered at Malfoy.
Goyle and Crabbe had their fists ready to punch Magnolia.
Tom stepped forward. "Malfoy, tell these two apes to stop, or you'll be sorry." he said.
"Oh, am I scared." Malfoy said to Tom, then to Crabbe and Goyle, "Go on, who's stopping you?"
Goyle missed a punch because Magnolia moved. Crabbe missed a punch because Magnolia bent down. Soon they were both unable to punch Magnolia because she moved so much.
I hated Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle more than anybody else at Hogwarts. So I cursed them.
They lost their voices.
They went back to their compartment, not wanting to be cursed again.
"Rosemary, that was great!" Magnolia said.
"Yeah, Rosemary, that was brilliant." Lila said.
"Smooth move!" Anna said.
"Yes, I've got to admit you've done a good job." Tom said. Poor guy, he sticks to the rules no matter what. He seems to be worried about us getting into trouble.
"Finally a few students who are practicing schoolwork." Professor McIntosh said. Uh oh, she came in and she saw what I had done to Malfoy and his sidekicks.
"Professor McIntosh! I hope you're not angry..." Tom muttered.
"In fact, I'm glad you are standing up to Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. They are a lot of trouble and pretty violent. Sometimes I wish they wouldn't have gotten into Hogwarts..." the prof said.
"Hey, we know how you feel. Last year we had Double Potions with them... such a living nightmare, I would rather have had to walk Blast-Ended-Skrewts all afternoon instead of spending it with Professor Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle." Magnolia said. ((By the way, I'm talking about Snape's FATHER, who was a prof at that time, when Tom Riddle went to school))
"Professor Snape does get on my nerves sometimes." McIntosh said.
"Sometimes? That's a record! Everyone else is bothered by him all the time." Anna sniggered.
"Snape is really annoying." Lila said.
"He favors his own students more than other students, and he makes sure he takes off at least fifty points per other house every day." I said.
"I have no idea how Snape became a prof." Magnolia said. We all looked at Tom, waiting for him to say something about Snape.
"Well, okay, I confess I wish we had a better Head of House. But please don't tell him I said that, I'd be in trouble and Snape would make someone else Prefect!" Tom of Slytherin said.
McIntosh left and we continued talking enthusiastically.
