"Huh?" Amara rubbed her eyes and looked at the huge grandfather clock. She couldn't see the face of it, but she knew what had woken her up. Hermoine was sitting at a desk, frantically scribbling. Her candle flickered with every movement Amara made. Amara wished the candle would go out, she couldn't get back to sleep. The glass ball around her neck flickered, making her gasp. The candle went out.

Hermoine grumbled and slammed her fists on the table. "What is it, Hermoine?" Amara said croakily. "We can't do anything!" she said. "What on earth do you mean?" asked Amara curiously. "He's coming and we can't do a thing!" Amara caught on, remembering "Harry Potter for dummies" "The dark lord is coming…but how?" she asked soberly. Hermoine poured out last years story, slowly and clearly. "We're sure he'll come, but no-one believes us except some of the teachers at Hogwarts. We're preparing ourselves. I took the job of counter curses, But I can't think of one for the killing curse!" she hit the table again.

"The table is already dead, Hermoine, you don't have to keep trying to kill it! Let me help"

"You want to help me kill the table…?" Amara groaned and took up a mirror off her bedside table. She picked up Neville's toad, which often hopped into the dorm. Holding the mirror in front of it, she said to Hermoine. "Go on, use it" Hermoine shook her head frantically. "NO! No way!" Amara patted her shoulder. "Isn't the catch at the killing curse that you have to practise?"

"Yes…" Hermoine said.

"Well then, have you ever used it before?"


"No…right! Great! Thanks, Amara. Avada kedavara!" Hermoine was shocked when a stream of green light zapped out of her wand. She stepped deftly out of the way before the light hit the mirror, and ricochet back at her. She cheered. Amara shoved her hand over Hermione's mouth as Parvati and Lavender turned over in their sleep. "Sorry"

"Okay, just…Hey…what's that noise?" Amara's sensitive ears picked up spraying. As she adjusted her glasses, she noticed two dark figures bending over Parvati and Lavender. She clapped her hand over Hermione's mouth again and stayed perfectly still. One's hand was swaying backwards and forwards over Parvati; another was putting something on the floor. Finally, the one on the floor whispered. "Hermione's bed is empty, So's that other girls that Ron fancies. Go to the door, we'll let off a firework and run for it!" Whispered one. Amara said very quietly so that only Hermoine could hear. "On the count of three, scream and body lock!" she said. "1.2.3 Waaaa AAAAA HHHHH AAAAAAAH!"

"Petrificus TOTALUS!" Screamed Hermoine, locking two in one go. Parvati and Lavender screamed, too. "L-lumos!" said Lavender, lighting the room. She peered over at Hermoine and Amara. then at the two bodies on the floor.

"Who DID this?" shrieked Lavender.

Parvati shrieked. Lavender cried. Amara jumped and Hermoine covered her ears. Fred and George Weasley had completely ruined Parvati and Lavenders hair. Parvati had prided in her long black hair, and Lavenders "Blonder-than-blonde" hair took years to grow. Fred had put brown paint on the floor. Lavender had slipped on that and had gotten a face and hairful of it. George had massaged honey and bubblegum into Parvati's sleek hair.

"Where's the fire?" A large group of people skidded to a halt outside the door. Ginny and Her best friend gave a huge gasp and ran over to Parvati and Lavender. Ginny went to the task of washing Parvati's hair before the paint dried, Lita had gotten a brush and was wetting Parvati's hair in an attempt to get rid of the honey. Nothing could be done for the bubblegum.

Harry, Ron and Seamus hoisted Fred up, while Lee Jordan, Dean and Neville pulled Fred onto Hermione's bed. Hermoine scowled. "They don't even deserve to be lifted up. We should just remove the curse as they are," she said snottily. Lee groaned and covered his face. The room that had been lit by the dim green light of 10 wands was now filled with a candle's flickering warmth.

"What is going on here?" said Professor Mc Gonagall. Amara backed off a bit. She was a tiny bit scared of Mc Gonagall. She spotted Fred and George. "I should have known," she said tiredly. "Finite incantatem" Fred and George rubbed their heads, and all the wands in the room went out. They started laughing, then spotted the sour face of the house head. "Hello, Professor. We'd love to chat but we have to go now…" Parvati and Lavender blocked the entrance. "What is the meaning of this?" asked Parvati, pointing at her ruined hair. "You need more conditioner," said Fred plainly. Parvati pounced on him. "I'll GIVE YOU CONDITIONER!"

"Hold it, Miss Patil!" Parvati stopped suddenly as she aimed a hit at Fred's forehead. "I'll deal with this!" Parvati got up. "They better get more than detention!" she mumbled. Mc Gonagall raised a single eyebrow, making Parvati blush. Amara led Parvati away, taking Hermoine and Ginny with her. Parvati wailed over the loss of her precious hair for about an hour, finally letting Hermoine and Amara get some sleep.

"Come on, come on, we'll be late for Divination!" Amara pulled Harry and Ron out of their beds. She left Parvati and Lavender where they were, she had fixed their hair during the night with magic and shampoo, and wanted them to wake up and notice. Ron and Harry moaned and groaned but got up and dressed anyway. "This is your fault, you know!" Harry grumbled to Ron. Ron rolled his eyes. "How?" "You're the one who likes her...I mean likes-likes her" There was a crash and a tumble as the dresser knocked over and Ron and Harry careered to the floor.

"You take that back!" yelled Ron. He hit against the wardrobe. "Why? It's true!" replied Harry, bashing off the bed. Amara heard the crashing from her room, as did Hermoine. Dean and Seamus pulled them apart, just as Amara threw on her dressing gown and ran in. Neville was shaking right down to his furry bunny slippers, covering his eyes. Harry had a black eye and Ron had a swollen lip. Dean lost a tooth when Harry missed a punch. "What were you fighting about?" she yelled. Harry and Ron looked up embarrassedly at her.


"Hi...." said Ron. "Hello again" said Harry. "We should really go now. To divination..." he finished. Amara tapped her foot. "Good IDEA!" they ran out. Amara sighed and helped Dean up. "Boys!" she groaned.

"Girls!" growled Harry outside. Ron agreed and started walking towards the tower. "Sorry 'bout that. Just bein' stupid..." Harry patted him on the shoulder. "That's ok"

"Come on, you two!" said Amara, pushing them outside the portal. They walked together up until the main hall, where Amara spotted a not so pleasant familiarity. "Well is it isn't the little princess" that familiarity, Draco Malfoy said. "Oh, shut up!" she snapped. "You aren't even a real witch!" he said. Amara groaned and rolled her eyes. "Look who's talking? You know, I know your game, and you, my friend (not) are just following a mudblood that kills mudbloods!" He winced. "Now I will show you what a real witch can do!" she pointed her fingers at him. The glass ball around her neck started glowing, she knew Malfoy hadn't been to Astronomy yet. "HIKASTA AQUA PASSUS EST!" She yelled. People stopped and stared as water poured out of her hands, hurtling at Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. She laughed as the water that was only affecting them pushed them down the corridor.

"Bye bye" she said, lowering her hands. She grabbed Seamus and Dean's arms and ran, they were late for divination.
