Chapter 12
The Midnite Inn
Days passed as theyhave a tendancy to do at Hogwarts. Amber and Shayna rose early to practice Quidditch before the Hogsmaed trip on saturday. They had been join by Josh and Selphie half way through the session. On the way back to the castel the conversation topic changed to the ever popular idea of forgein stidents at Hogwarts.
"I just wonder is they speak english." Amber said stepping into the entrance hall "Of course they do Malfoy" an annoying voice informd them The four slytherins found themselvs facing Cho Chang "You must be lost." Shayna said innocently "House-elves belong in the kitchen." She pointed to the left "Very funny, for your information Riddle, I'm waiting for my team."
And no one had time to ask what she ment. Fred, George and Dean Thomas came bowling down the stairs. "Oy Cho!" Fred called "you ready?"
Cho held up her broom and nodded happily. "Oh, hi" Fred said seeing Shayna and the others "meet our seeker." "So you're the other team." Cho smirked in a fake voice "well boys, looks like we won't be needing that pratice."
"Cho kiss a where-wolf!" Amber yelled advancing on her, but Josh held her back "Weasley" Shayna said, not certain which one she was addressing "I had no idea you wanted to loose so badly. you could have just forfitted."
Shayna spun on her heels and walked into the great hall. "Guys" she said "we have to win now."

"Four to a carrige" Moody growled over the crowd of students going to Hogsmead Shayna Jes, and Josh were already sitting back in their own. Josh was counting his galleons, his family wasn't as rich as the Malfoys, but they were cewrtainly comfortable. Shayna however only saw Hogsmead as a hang out. Pocket money wasn't something the Krums would give her. She always had just enough each year to buy her secret santa a chirstmas gift. But the others were nice about sharing candy and what-not with Shayna.
The Slytherins knew that Shayna lived with muggles who didn't understand what life was like for a witch. But none of them asked what had happened to her blood parents, she was very greatful for this.
Shayna, Jes, and Josh were joined by Selphie, Amber and Alana on the cobble stone of Main ST of Hogsmead. And the group started to their traditional first stop, honeydukes. They pushed their way to the counter and began looking.
"Chocolate frogs or every flavored beans Shayna?"
"chocolate, always."
Talking was always difficult in Honeydukes. Along with moving, breathing, and shopping. But something about the chaos drew in more students each trip. After almost an hour of sampling, Shayna tripped out, back into the sunlight. Jes handed her a chocolate frog, which she slpped into her pocket. "You're a goddess." she panted
"Well" Amber said to Alana and Selhpie "we better go meet Draco and company for lunch, see ya guys" And the three of them walked off toward the three broomsticks.
"Hey Brad!" Josh called "Brad come'ere you wanna get something to eat with us?" As he walked over to them Shayna began pushing her hair nervously behind her ears. "Sure" he said there's a new place down the street called the Midnite Inn, supossed to be really good. Wanna try it out?"
The Midnite Inn was at the opposite end of town from the the three broomsticks. The walls were creamy blue, as was the ceiling. The whole dinning hall was lit by slivery stars painted on the ceiling that had been magiced to twinkel, fade, and shoot across the way.
A boy with dark hair that was a bit to long walked up to them. He wore blue robes to match the walls, and a white half apron. "Welcome to the Midnite Inn" he smiled, although he seemed to be over acting it "If you will follow me we havew a table ready for you."
The boy led them past tables filled with chattering witches and wizards. Their table was all the way in the back, Menus sitting on it. "Our specials to day are on the insert" he told them and then he left. Shayna watched himwalk away, and actually forgot she was sitting next to Brad as she did
"Is it just me" Jes asked softly "Or did that guy need a hair cut?" The others nodded and Shayna decided not to mention that she thought he was cute.
"So" Josh smiled "the campions will be anounce in a little less then 4 weeks. It's really sad that those other guys'll come all that way just to loose to us."
"Not if our chapion's a Gryffie. Those dorks could screw up just about anything." Brad laughed "I rekon" shayna said "It'll be a Huffelpuff, I mean they're known for all that hard work crap."
"And you woudn't know anything about that would you?" Salazar yawned "When did you wake up?" Shayna hissed irritated "Did you here something?" Brad asked
More then an hour latter the boy with dark hair finnaly returned with their food. Needless to say they were irritated. "Sorry it took so long." he said passing Josh his shrimp "We just opend last week and we're majorly understaffed." He opned his mouth to say more, but another voice came out "Waren!" she cried "I better go, enoy your meals."
Shayna began thinking, and when she dose that dangerouse things happen. They were understaffed huh? Maybe she could get a job here, then there'd be some extra galleons in her pockets durring trips. She shared this idea with the rest of the group while they ate the food which proved to be well worth the wait.
"All day saturdays?" Jes asked "sure you wanna do that?" Shayna nodded "It's worth the money, I'm gonna go ask." She rose from her seat "meet you at Zonko's" Josh called after her She walked across the dinning hall and back into the kitchens. they were not at all as elegant as teh rest of the place. the walls were plain white as were the floors. POts and pans simered on a large stainless steel stove. A plump woman stoodhere, stiring a large pot of gravey.
Shayna cleared her throat "exuse me, are you the manager?" "Madame Bootlet" she said hurring over to the large oven "What can I do for ya miss?" She rolled up the sleeves of her red robes and positions a pizza inside teh oven.
"Well the young man who searved us told me you were understaffed"
"That would be Warren, he always talks too much, works hard though ... go on."
"Well I was wondering if I could come to work for you. I can only work saturdays though, you know school."
At this Madame Bootlet turned to face her. She looked her up and down, making Shayna feel much skinnier then usual. "A galleon and 4 sickels and hour sound good?" she asked at last Shayna nodded "Well miss ...." "Riddle, Shayna Riddle" "Well Shayna I'll see you one week from today, 6:30 a.m."
