I decided to put this in chapters to make it easier to read, as it
has proved longer than I anticipated!
Again, the HP characters belong to JKR, and the rest belong to themselves. I intend to make no money from the use of these characters. Dagnabit. *grins evilly*
- The Summoning -
Airin stood in her room with a temporary (she hoped) pentigram drawn on her carpet. She was counting on it coming out afterwards or her landlord might prove unamused. She had the spell book to the side and the wand in her hand. If she was to be perfectly honest with herself she felt bloody stupid. This was an insane idea. Even more insane than that time she'd gotten drunk and decided Simon Krane wasn't 'that' bad looking after all. She shuddered at the recollection. She still hadn't forgiven her flatmate for not stopping her.
Well. Who first. She knew what SIG looked like, so she'd be easiest. Airin lit the candles around the room. They were not really necessary, but they made her feel more occult. And yes, slightly more stupid too. She stepped up to the pentigram and flicked her wand (little green light on the end flashing).
"Uoynommus IGIS." She shouted, and waved her wand dramatically. Thank God she'd shut the curtains again because the last thing she wanted was a bunch of pedestrians witnessing her waving her arms about and shouting like Martin Riggs on heat.
There was a sound like a wind blowing far away, and then a 'pop' as the air in the room moved grouchily to accommodate something that had not been there before. It didn't hold with all this something-from-nothing malarkey.
SIG stood in the pentigram in full hockey outfit with a hockey stick in her hands, pulled fresh from Manchester university. She looked around the room wildly before noticing Airin. She blinked a couple of times and then looked down at the pentigram, brain working almost audibly. There was a 'click' in her mind and she looked back up.
"Shit." She said simply. She then swung and tried to hit Airin with the stick. Airin ducked.
"Oi! Quit it!" She shouted, trying to avoid a second swing.
"I was about to score the winning goal to idiot!" SIG cried, stepping out of the pentigram.
"But I wanted to go to the pub." Airin replied in a quiet voice. SIG stopped.
"Pub eh?" She threw down the hockey stick. "Well why didn't you say so!" She grinned at Airin. Airin explained her plan to bring as many of the Snape Sisters as possible here to go to the pub, and SIG backed up the plan 100%. Alcohol + Snape Sisters = a great time, in her book. They decided the next person bring would be Bally.
"Uoynommus Iyllab!" More wind, longer this time, and another 'pop'. A green-haired girl of about 19 stood in the pentigram holding a paintbrush. She frowned and looked suspiciously at the brush in her hand muttering something about paint fumes. SIG ran forward and hugged her shouting "Bally!!", Airin following suit. Bally backed away looking scared before stopping to peer at the two girls in front of her.
"SIG? Airin?!" She sounded incredulous. Airin explained her plan. Bally shrugged. "Why not?"
"Uh, Ball," Airin began, remembering the six hour time difference between the UK and the area of the US that Bally lived in, "what are you doing painting at 8 am?" Bally threw the paintbrush at Airin.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" She said. "This is your friggin fic. It must be your minds idea of what art majors do. I wanted a lie-in too." Airin shrugged. Ah well. Next.
The next Snape Sister pulled through was SSK, who seemed to have no trouble at all with the sudden transferral across half the country. Her children at school, an afternoon in the pub seemed a great idea.
Then came Lily, her American southern accent causing a few laughs when she spotted SSK for the first time and hugged her shouting, "Honey!! It's great to finally meet you!"
Ivy was pulled through from Israel, and immediately threatened Airin with dismemberment. Airin guessed she must be as sadistic in real life as she seemed.
Abby (Weasleyfan) and Abby (Abzita...now known as Abs) came through together after Airin shouted "Uoynommus Iybba!". Obviously the spell hadn't known which one she meant. She was just thankful that they had materialised separately, images of the film "The Fly" swimming around her head. Abby and Abs seemed pretty glad too.
Airin pulled through Gryff, Mag and HRB successively, By this time there were some fairly interesting conversations going on, mostly Snape related, but some discussing the implications of Airin's sudden ability to make people appear using a wand with a flashing green light at the end. SSK and Lily had found a corner and the occasional "Oliver" "Viktor" and "Ivan" could be heard. Ivy came and pointed out to Airin that her bed was broken, and that she suspected Bally had done it. Bally immediately pointed an accusing finger at Abby who growled at her. SIG pointed out the fact that she knew the bed had been broken before. Bally poked her for ruining her fun.
Airin summoned the next Sister.
"Uoynommus Ignim!" Wind, 'pop'. Ming stood in the pentigram and burst into an amazingly good rendition of "About a Girl" by Nirvana. Airin frowned at her wand and shook it to see if it was broken. HRB laughed and pointed at the less than respectful green flashing light at the end of it. Airin frowned at her instead.
Ming stopped singing and grinned at the confusion she had caused. They heard something along the lines of "Fight fire with fire" from her before she spotted Airin's HP books and pulled out the first one, finding the Snape bits and reading them out loud.
Airin summoned Poisonivy next. The 24 year old couldn't seem to quite grasp the sudden transportation to be surrounded by a bunch of strangers who seemed to know her.
Last she pulled through Tobias. The woman appeared from Canada and seemed greatly thankful for not having to teach that day, but rather become inebriated with her fellow Snape Sisters.
The noise in Airin's room was now at fever pitch. Everyone had something to say and were laughing often. This was much better than she'd imagined!! Ivy and HRB were searching through Airin's videos, still on the floor, for any with Alan Rickman in. SSK and Lily had found the sticker book and were hunting for stickers of Oliver to steal. Mag and Bally were talking to each other in French, while all the others were chatting about the Snape bits that Ming was still reading out. Airin grinned with content. She'd suddenly had a fantastic idea.
