Chapter 4: Static

-Sometimes the voices in your head are not only your own.

"You do know what day it is? Don't you?"

"Yes Kaleb," George replied for the thirty-third time that day. "And for the last bloody time Happy Birthday! Now go 'remind' someone else."

She grinned widely and bounded across the common room wearing her oh-so-special Birthday Robes.

"You like?" She twirled in front of Hermione and didn't catch her rolling her eyes.

"Yes there ah, well unique."

She looked down at the lime green robes. She had accidentally found a nifty little charm that made banners follow you around all day. This one changed colors and spurted out confetti on unsuspecting people, much to their dislike.

Not only was it her birthday, it was also Halloween and the feast was about to start.

Kaleb clapped her hands twice. "Essscccoorrrtttssss!!" Fred and George appeared at her side, both offering an outstretched arm.

"At your service."

George tipped his hat to her and winked.

She grinned and took both their arms, and raised her nose in the air. "Come, we are better then thez' peasants," she said in a haughty voice. And so they traveled down to the Great Hall arm in arm.

The food was delectable as always. Kaleb's eyes widened with everything single little thing and Fred was beginning to worry they were going to stay like that or fall out.

After being told to return to their commons, Kaleb stood up looking around for a certain blonde Slytherin.
"What in the world are you doing?" George gave her a look, watching her stand on her chair and look around.

"Ahh… looking for my humor. I seemed to misplace it."

"Ha. Ha," He commented dryly.

With shoulders slumped, she hopped off the chair with a pout.

"What's the matter, dear?" Fred asked in what would hopefully be a worried mother voice.

"I was looking for this delicious Slytherin… Drano something…"

Their faces fell at the same time. "DRACO!?"

"Yeah, yeah that's it" she said absentmindedly while continuing her search. "Oh there he is!" She flashed the twins an innocent smile. "See you!"

And she stepped into the sea of students trying to evacuate the Hall and caught up with him just before the archway.

"Hey!" She said cheerfully at him.

He looked side ways and frowned. "What do you want?"

"Just wanted to say- HEY!" She spotted Harry a few feet away and waved at him. He saw Draco next to her with a horror-struck face and allowed himself a small smile.

After stepping out of the hall, the entire school chattering noisily, Kaleb heard the faint undertone of a piercing buzzing sound. She rubbed her ear. It didn't go away. She looked around to see if anyone else was reacting like she was but they didn't. She shrugged. Must be nothing. 

A few more steps and the noise persisted, sounding like an angry bee buzzing just outside your ear. She looked around again. Still nothing.

[What's holding up this line damnit!? AARRRGGG]

She clapped her hands over her ears and crouched down, her head pounding with pain. The noise had become so loud that it felt like her eardrums were about to explode. This time she wasn't the only one to react. Harry and Draco were holding their ears as well, pain eminent from their faces.

[-she thinking when-]

Static.

[Cho is so ugly-]

Static.

[- Oh yes… ooohhhh yeesssss.]

Static.

[-his butt looks in those robes. Mmm mmm.]

 It was like a thousand voices streaming through your head at once. Mingling and breaking so you could decipher a few words but that was all. The pain was so intense it felt like their skulls were breaking in two. 

And then it vanished, as did the crowd of people as they walked off to their respected places. Kaleb blinked while Draco cursed and Harry looked around. They looked at each other; each thought the same as the next.

[What is going on?]
