Interrupted By Fireworks
Chapter 2: Valentine's Dance Announcement
George awoke still on the couch and was very surprised at himself for
hugging Alicia's diary. He was holding it very tightly and defensively.
He looked at the grandfather clock next to the fireplace and the clock.
"Two thirty!" George gasped a bit louder than he meant to.
He rolled the Indian patterned comforter up and ran to the 7th year
boys 'dormitories and jumped on his bed. He pulled his curtains around and
tucked Alicia's diary under his pillow. He smiled and instantly fell asleep.
Alicia's Anxiety
"I can't find it!" shrieked Alicia for the tenth time that morning.
Katie looked around the room and placed her eyes on Angelina.
"What? I didn't take it, honest!" yelled Angelina defensively.
"It's ok, I believe you Angelina. Do you remember anything I did last
night?"
Imaginary light bulbs flashed on top of Katie and Angelina's heads.
"Remember when you took a brown book with a scarlet colored gem in it and
threw it at one of the boys?" They asked.
"Oh my GOD!" Alicia shrieked as she ran out the dorm. She ran to the
7th year boys' dorm and almost knocked over a very concerned Lee Jordan.
"I've got to get it NOW! Which one of you boys has my diary?" she screamed
putting her hands on her hips and stared accusingly at Fred and George.
"Oh! You mean the book that hit George? I never saw it after it hit
the
ground, I was too sleepy and my eyes were hazy so, no, I don't have your
diary Ms. Spinnet"
Her angry eyes were placed on George.
"George? Have you gotten your dirty paws on it?" she asked in a very
angelic voice. Fred went "Uh Oh" in a whisper and dashed out the door.
George shook his head in a very remorseful way. Alicia turned around and
when she got to the door she turned her head back "Tell me if you find
whoever who touched it all right Georgie?" and with that she strolled off.
George sighed as he walked to his bed and took Alicia's diary out from under
his pillow. He hugged it like the first time he had found it but this time
he hugged it like it was a very priceless treasure. He stuck the book into
his backpack and swung the backpack over his shoulder. After his bag was over
his shoulder he left the dorm.
The Great Hall
Everyone was very happy that day. It is a beautiful Saturday. No ugly
potions class with Snape, Double Defense Against Dark Arts, and for the 5th
years Double Divination. When George walked into the Great Hall everyone was
shouting and whispering the latest gossip except the trio and Ginny. Ron and
Harry were too busy feeling sorry for themselves about double divination
while Hermione beamed at them and said she had double arithmancy. Ginny was
getting very whiny about double full classes with Hagrid, she whined about
little
electric flies that would electrify her because she got paralyzed one time.
The groups of 7th years were whining about needing food and energy.
Dumbledore finally stood up from his comfortable chair with purple velvet
cushion on it and held his hand up in front of all the Great Hall.
"This year because of Voldemort's return," Everyone flinched except
Harry. "Not to mention the Yule Ball was a complete success, we will have a
Valentine's Ball!"
Everyone gasped and after the shock the girls started to giggle while the
boys sighed in frustration.
"I think everyone should enjoy life once in a awhile don't you agree?"
The whole great hall burst into sudden applause. George ran as Alicia's dark
blue eyes looked straight into his brown colored ones. He ran as quickly as
he could from the Great Hall and stopped at the library. He dropped off some
books and ran off.
Madam Pince saw a book fall out of his bag and muttered something about
irresponsible people and took the book from the ground. She stacked it on a
square table with books of fables and legends.
After many hours passed Katie, Angelina and Alicia entered the library
talking about what to wear to the ball.
Alicia sighed, "I don't think I'll be able to go to the ball because I
probably won't get a date like last year and besides George probably won't
have on either."
Katie giggled, "That's the whole point right? George doesn't have a date and
you don't, I think he will ask you if he doesn't I mean come on! Why just
sit down and watch Pig fly don't you agree Angie?"
Angelina smiled "Yep!"
Alicia snapped out of her attitude of self pity and looked at her friends
strangely "What do you mean watch Pig fly I mean, wasn't it supposed to be
Pigs plural?" Katie and Angelina burst into giggles and rolled their eyes
when Madam Pince told them to be quiet or she would kick them out.
"Oh, we mean Ron's owl Pig!" All three girls burst into soft giggles.
Katie goggled at the librarian to make sure she didn't have the "Shut up or
I'll kick your butts out of here faster than you can fly on your brooms!"
look and turned back to her friends and sighed with relief.
Angelina and Katie watched Alicia as she fingered books on the square table.
She started to stare suspiciously at a brown book. Katie and Angelina helped
her pile the books around the square table in neat stacks of fours.
Alicia took the book in the middle and hugged it. Angelina and Katie dragged
her out of the library before she start to scream.
"MY DIARY!! WOO HOO!!!" yelled Alicia. She unlocked it and flipped to the
page she wrote her entry the other night so she hugged it tightly. But
something was wrong. It smelt like...like
"What is it Alicia?" Katie and Angelina asked in a very concerned tone.
"Angie, Katie, erm. Never mind." said Alicia in a fake happy voice.
Angelina looked at her friend strangely and looked at Katie who shrugged.
"Alicia it would be okay. I mean, your diary is back and that's the most
important thing, right?" Angelina said soothingly as Katie nodded.
The girls returned to their common room and said they were going to get
their wands for their next class
It had been a very tiring day, double DADA really worn the 7th years out. The
determined ones were the ones more worn out and were people who go to learn the
hexes permanently.
When they got outside Hogwarts they were greeted by a beaming
Hermione, a groaning Harry, a sulking Ron and an electrocuted (or shocked) Ginny with
puffy hair that was sticking out at odd angles. She was holding a glass
plate with a type of magical shield over it and an electric fly inside.
The girls started to giggle and left for Hogsmeade with the boys
following behind them. The robe shop was very full. Girls were running
around looking at all of the dress robes. The boys left the girls to their
business with their robes and left to go find the robes that suited them.
Ginny brought teal colored ones that has glittered and had matching shoes
with an aqua green rose in the middle and it was put together with a ribbon
for the neck and makes the shape X on the front.
Hermione brought aqua blue robes with very big fluffy petticoats and a
high split on the right.
Angelina brought plain light yellow ones with golden ribbons (She must be getting cautious while dancing with Fred) and Katie
brought a dark purple ones coming with a tiara with purple colored gems on
it.
Alicia looked behind her to find Malfoy and Pansy, the looked like the ball
had just started as they walked in arm and arm. It seemed to her like Malfoy
wanted to buy Pansy dress robes and he probably thought his were all right.
He got Pansy hot pink ones with a matching headband, shoes and gloves and
smirked as he passed the boys (Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Lee) and left
with Pansy.
Alicia couldn't help but scowl and be jealous; she is still single after
all. The boys paid for their dress robes and walked out of Hogsmeade and
back into their dormitories, exhausted from all the shopping.
February 11th
Dear Diary,
I had a great time buying new dress
robes! I couldn't help but be jealous though! I can't believe I got jealous
over a Slytherin and to make it worse Malfoy!! It's strange but I actually
feel like I want to go to the ball! I'm going to ask Lavender to fix my hair
for me!! My wish came true! My diary entry today is more
cheery!!
-Alicia
P.S. I caught someone red-handed I mean wouldn't the person that played
the cruel joke in the first place read and try to apologize for reading your
diary and turning your hair a different color? The red-handed person is
George! I knew it was him because my diary smells just like that cologne he
always wears. Not that I smell him or anything. Ok I do but that's not the
point
I don't want to tell him or he would feel guilty and probably won't
go to the ball with me!! I wish something new would happen this year. The
other ball was a bit depressing. My confidence has just built up! I've got
to tell Katie and Angelina "Thanks!"
Alicia smiled and closed her diary not bothering to lock it. She fell
asleep with her diary at the foot of her bed.
George sneaked into the girls' dorm and sat down on the floor. He decided he
would check her diary every single night. George's face paled and he started
to resemble a zombie as he read it.
'She caught me, and she wants to date me? And she's jealous of Malfoy? I
wonder how anybody can be jealous of Malfoy, he should be the one jealous
just look at his family!'
He crept out of the girls' dorm and walked back to his own. He lay down
on his bed but didn't sleep; he had a lot to think about.
