Moonlight Shining
By Amanda H
On Tuesday of the next week the weather was blisteringly hot. The stale air hung still in the hallways,
with no breeze to move it. It was
almost a relief to reach the cool potions' dungeon. After a very unpleasant class they left the cool dungeon. The four were hit with a gust of hot
air. They quickly made their way up to
the Common Room and slumped into the chairs.
"Hey! I've got a great
idea!" Amy exclaimed. "Come with me Hermione!" She exclaimed, jumping up and running up the
girl's staircase. Hermione followed
slowly. Amy had pulled to cloth bags
out from under her bed.
"Look Hermione!" She exclaimed,
opening the first bag. A wave of frigid
air hit her in the face. She rested in
it for a moment and then looked into the bag. The interior was covered in frost and freezer burn.
"You put a cooling charm on it!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Yeah." She began pulling items
out of the bag. First came a tub of ice
cream, then a tray of ice cubes and then a bag of frozen strawberries. Next she opened the second bag. It had a more subtle cooling charm on
it. Out of it she pulled a container of
milk and a banana. From under her bed
she pulled a Muggle blender. Inside the
container of the blender was a jar of Ovaltine a measuring cup and a tablespoon.
"Watch! It's an old family recipe
and it tastes great!" She said as she
began measuring different amounts of the ingredients into her blender. Hermione laughed!
"Lavender and Parvati keep diaries and notes under there beds, I keep
text books. Harry and Ron probably have
their tricks from Zonko's. But you are
most defiantly the only Witch I know who has a blender and a bag of groceries
under her bed!" Amy smiled and put the
lid on the blender.
"There we go."
"That won't work in here you know. It's too magical." Hermione
sighed.
"I knew that. I read Hogwarts
A History."
"You did?!" Hermione shouted.
"Yeah why?"
"Nothing. Just Ron and Harry tell
me I'm the only one whose ever read that book!"
"Not anymore!" Amy laughed. "Nope, my Dad enchanted it so it would work
even with the magic. But don't tell,
because it's against the law."
"I won't. Ron's Dad is in the
Misuse of Muggle Artifacts branch."
"Really? Don't tell Ron
then!" Amy urged.
"Oh, don't worry. Ron wouldn't
tell his Dad and even if he did, his Dad is very into Muggle artifacts. He would probably just want to see it." She laughed.
"Oh Good!" Amy laughed, pressing
the button. The blade spun and chopped
but the blender didn't make any noise. Hermione looked at her puzzled.
"It's got a silencing charm too." Amy explained. "There! Done!" She exclaimed, switching it off and pulling out the container. From under her bed she pulled two
glasses. "Some for each!" She announced. Filling each cup. She handed one glass to Hermione.
"To the awful heat!" She
declared, clinking glasses. Hermione
nodded and sipped the thick liquid. It
was very good and cool. Both she and
Amy quickly finished the glasses.
"Well, we should take some down to the boys." Hermione said, looking at the half empty pitcher. Amy reached under her bed.
"I only brought three glasses." She said, pulling out the third.
"That's alright." Hermione said,
smiling. "Fill those for you and
Harry. Then fill this for Ron and me to
share!" She laughed. Amy obliged and quickly filled the
glasses. Then she put the food back
into the bags and stuffed everything under her bed. They hopped down the stairs, carrying the drinks and sat next to
the boys.
"Here!" Hermione said, handing
the glass to Ron. He looked in disgust
at the thick mixture.
"What is it?" Her asked gingerly,
looking at it from all angles.
"It's a smoothie." Amy said. "An old family recipe. Try!" She commanded, handing Harry his glass and gulping most of hers. Harry took a small sip after eying it
warily.
"Mummmmmm!" He agreed, taking a
larger drink. "It's good Ron." Ron took a tiny sip.
"Hey! Not bad!" He exclaimed, taking a very large gulp. "Very good!" Hermione grabbed at the glass before he could down the rest of
it.
"Hey! That's half mine!" She exclaimed, trying to take it from his
hand.
"Not fair!" Ron yelled. She continued to try and take the
drink. "Fine." Ron finally consented. "But I control how much you drink." He grinned, bringing the glass to her
lips. Hermione smiled and started to
drink the creamy liquid Ron was pouring into her mouth. She smiled at him. He grinned and poured it faster causing it to flow over her
lip.
"Ugmmmm!" She gulped. Ron pulled the glass away leaving her with a
very thick smoothie mustache. She
giggled as she licked it away. Amy and
Harry looked at each other and smiled.
"Oi!" A call came from the
corner. Two, tall redheaded boys ran up
to join them.
"Oi Ron! Want to stop flirting
with your girl long enough to give us a sip?" Fred mocked, pursing his lips. Both Hermione and Ron turned bright red. To save her friend from further embarrassment Amy spoke up.
"It's a smoothie." She announced,
smiling.
"Cool. Can we have some?" George asked, sliding into Amy's seat beside
her.
"You could if there was any left." Amy answered.
"Well," Hermione began, still bright red. "I suppose the only way to solve that would be to make more! Come on!" She said, jumping up. Amy
followed quickly, giggling up the stairs.
