June Buggish
Max and Kurt spent the rest of the week chasing Jessica around and cursing her. She was also cursing them. So far each of them has been in the hospital wing for unnatural growth of extra limbs. Food fights became common at the Gryfinndor table. It gave Skylar and Tim an excuse to hurl mashed potatoes at the Slytherins. Jessica turned Max's glasses into twin tarantulas, when they were supposed to turn into ringworms. Kurt was turned into a poka-dotted duck. Max was turned into a moose for 2 hours. Jessica was a caterpillar for three days because Max put her in a jar and hid it.
"Potter, come back here!" Jessica yelled. She was just released from the hospital wing. Max poured his blotched potion on her during class and she sprouted horns.
"He's down with Skylar and Tim at Quidditch try outs. They want to teach him how to fly before our lessons tomorrow." Niaomi informed her.
"Oh really? Great. Peace and quiet." She flopped down onto the couch beside Niaomi.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to do my Charms homework." Niaomi said.
"But, wait, we don't have homework. Professor Flitwick said we wouldn't until next week."
"I know. I asked him what the homework would be and I'm getting it done early."
"Alright. I guess I'll just go up to the dormitory and sleep." Jessica said. She gave Niaomi one last puzzling look and went up to the first year girls' dormitory. "What a strange person."
Skylar, Tim, and Meg were walking down the wall, laughing about the prank they just pulled.
"Black!" Rachel Skeeter screamed. Skylar turned around and snorted. Rachel Skeeter's hair still showed signs of what was pulled. "You had no right to pull that on me this morning."
"What? I thought you would look better with maple syrup gel, and when Screwball poured those red ants and feathers on you just added to the flair. A new fashion statement I presume." Skeeter grabbed the front of Skylar's robes.
"Why did you do that?" Skylar, who was an inch off of the ground, turned her head to look at Tim and Meg. They both shrugged.
"Don't know, cuz I felt like it. My dad told me all about you. You're the offspring of a june bug. I see you got your antennas off last summer." Skeeter dropped her, and thought of a 'good' comeback.
"Well, you're the offspring of a exconvict." Skylar growled after Skeeter touched the soft topic.
"That's it, I'm sick of you! I challenge you to a duel." Skylar slapped her across the face. Meg whispered in her ear. "What do you mean I have to take the glove off? Where's the fun in that?" Skeeter, still shocked over the fact that she was slapped, just stood there while the Musketeers ran off in the other direction. She looked down and saw a piece of paper and read it aloud.
"Empty classroom on the third floor. Midnight. Be there, or be scared."
"She's such a chicken. She's not going to show up." Skylar said.
"Of course she's not. That's why we get out dear friend Erica to help us out." Meg said. She opened the door to the Great Hall.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Tim asked. They huddled and Meg told them her plan.
"Goody. Make fun of my father would you?" Skylar growled, and looked down at her watch. "Yo, we better go before we miss our shortcut. Tim picked up his books and walked out of the Great Hall with Meg. Skylar ran up the hall and jumped on top of one of the railings.
"Five...four...three...two...one." The staircase started to move when Meg and Tim just got on it. Skylar slid down the railing, while Tim and Meg went down the other one. At the end, she jumped onto one below it, and slid down that one too.
"Hey Rachel! Wait up!" Erica Malfoy called. Rachel Skeeter whipped around. "I got a tip on something really juicy. Sharley Lenihan is selling copies of the 5th years OWLS tests. She's meeting them in Greenhouse 5 tonight at Midnight." Rachel's eyes lit up.
"Oh really? I must be there." They walked into the Great Hall together. Erica winked at Skylar and Tim as she walked past. Tim gave her thumbs up.
"She'll be there."
"I'm so glad we found this." Meg screamed in delight.
"We freak out McGonagall everyday." Tim said, shooting off the end, and landing on his feet. He caught Meg, and stopped Skylar from sliding down the hall. "Sky and me, sitting there like perfect angels everyday, five minutes early."
"That would freak anyone out, especially Snape."
"God, this thing is so heavy." Skylar grunted, carrying half of Tim's trunk.
"Hey, thanks for helping me with this. McGonagall is going to search our dorm, and you have that secret hiding place behind that mirror."
"How did you know about that?"
"Um, lucky guess?" They reached the top of the staircase and pushed it the rest of the way to the fifth year girl's dorm. They emptied the stash of pranks behind the mirror, and shrunk the truck to fit in his pocket.
"Hey Tim, Skylar can you come here for a second." Jenna and Julie called after them.
"Yes?"
"We were wondering if you guys had dates for the Halloween ball."
"Sorry Julie, but I don't swing that way." Skylar held up her hands. Julie just looked at her with a confused look.
"Well anyway. My brother, Matt, you know the 6th year, has had his eye on you this entire year."
"It's only been a like a month."
"Well, will you go to the dance with him?"
"Does he know you're asking me?"
"No, but I bet he'll go with you."
"Well...I..." She looked at Tim with plead in her eyes.
"You wanted both of us right, well what am I here for?" Jenna and Julie both started to giggle.
"Well, will you like, go to the like dance with me?" Tim looked shocked, and looked at Skylar who was just as shocked.
"Okay, sure, why not." Now Skylar's jaw dropped to the ground. She grabbed Tim's arm and dragged him out of the room, back to the fifth year's dorm, and into the bathroom. After locking the door she turned around and started to turn red.
"How could you say yes to Number 2!"
"Well think about it, I've come up with this plan. We can make the preps look horrible."
"But Number 2!"
"Meg's going with Adam in Ravenclaw, so she won't be hanging 'round us." Something hit him then. "Did you want to go with me?"
"No, no...not at all. What makes you think that? I guess it's fine."
"Okay, good."
"This is going to be great. They will never beat this." She chuckled to her self. Jessica was up in the Gryfinndor common room. She was going to every dormitory and taking out all the vomit flavored beans from the Bertie Botts bags. She collected them all together by using 'Accio'.
"Alright, and on to the next step."
"I wonder why Jessica wasn't at dinner." Kurt said. "We didn't get to pull our prank."
"She probably is trying to think of something to beat us."
"Like that could happen."
"Hey guys." Jessica said.
"What do you want Ely?" Max sneered.
"I want to say I'm sorry." Jessica said. "Here, to make a truce you guys, I'm giving you these." She handed them the bag of vomit flavor beans.
"Really? Cool!" Kurt said. He grabbed the bag and started eating them. Then Max ate some. Both looked at each other and turned slightly green. They began gagging and spiting. Every Gryffindor's heads turned toward them.
"Vomit flavored!" Max gasped. He and Kurt wrestled with each other to get to the bathroom first. Jessica bowed as everyone started laughing.
"That was brilliant! Why didn't we think of that?" Skylar asked.
"Don't know."
Erica watched as Rachel Skeeter walked towards Greenhouse 5. Erica pulled her wand out and gave the signal to her.
"Shh...they are in there, walk in quietly. They don't know I'm ratting on them."
"So who's all involved?"
"Meg is in there, and some of the Hufflepuff fifth years." Skeeter nodded and walked into the Greenhouse.
"Thought you could avoid me?" Skeeter screeched as lights blazed on and revealed Skylar in the middle of the greenhouse, twirling her wand. "Did you forget about our little duel?"
"N...n...no."
"Good, who's your second?" Rachel pointed to Erica. "Do you agree?" Erica nodded. "Okay, then mine is Meg. Ready?"
"Ready. I'll go first."
"Fine."
"Solita"
"Polarius! Vinita." Rachel fell to the ground after being wrapped into the vines sprouting from Skylar's wand. "Now you know never to make fun of a Black, specially one that is as clever as Hermione Weasley." Skylar pocketed her wand and walked over to Meg and Tim.
"How did I do?"
"Great. Sharley was collecting admission money and bets."
"I'll have to ask her for 10%."
"Why only 10?"
"You don't mess with someone of Irish blood over money, specially one with Leprechaun in them."
"I have to go get my bet money." Tim walked away.
"So have you told him anything?"
"About what?" Skylar asked, daydreaming off in Tim's direction.
"Duh, that you are infatuated with him?" She snapped out of the dream world.
"What do you mean? How did you know...? Did you read my diary?"
"No, but I can guess there is juicy stuff in there. If I weren't your best friend, I would've thought you guys were already together. But I have good news for you. He feels the same way."
"Nuh uh. If there is ever the slightest chance of that, then why did he say yes to Jenna?"
"Cuz he thought you going with Matt was a sure thing. And anyway, it's part of the plan."
"I don't think I want to go with it. There is nothing good about Halloween except for pumpkin pie and that muggle makeup junk." Meg got an evil smile on her face.
"Makeup you say." Skylar turned her head and got an identical grin. "I'll go tell Tim." Skylar went to talk to Sharley while Meg went to Tim.
"I wonder if he'll admit it or deny it too."
"What's the answer to number 2?" Tim asked Meg, looking up from his Potions book.
"Dragons blood."
"Hey, is the coast clear?"
"Yeah. No Matt." Skylar crawled out from under the table. She looked around the library, and settled herself into one of the chairs. "He's been following me around. It's almost like he's stalking me. I'm on consent watch for him."
"Why don't you tell him to stop it? Or tell a teacher?"
"Cuz they'd think I'm just paranoid. You know since the Quidditch store thing. I'd be a Moody prodigy."
"That would be funny."
"Oh no Sky. Matt alert at 3."
"See you guys later, bring my books for me Tim." Skylar dashed out of the library and right past Matt.
"Where did Skylar just head off to?"
"To get away from you." Tim muttered, scratching a sentence out of his essay.
"She forgot she had detention. She has to clean out all of the bed pans."
"Oh, I wanted to give her this. Can you give it to her?" He pulled out a velvet box and handed it to Meg.
"Yeah sure. What is it?"
"Don't open it. Make sure she gets it before the dance though." Meg looked at him weird.
"Alright. Will do."
"Alright class. Everyone stand beside a broom." Madame Hooch ordered. Jessica and Max glared at each other as they stood side by side. "Now say 'Up'"
"Up" The class repeated. Jessica frowned as her broom went zooming forward and at Madame Hooch's feet. Max snickered.
"Shut up!" Jessica hissed. Max's broom shot up and hit him in the nose.
"You little..." Max sneered. He was rubbing his nose.
"I ain't little." She said.
Finally they were in the air. No other distractions. Max, just like his father and grandfather, was an excellent flyer. Jessica on the other hand, was having alot of trouble keeping her broom under control.
"I hate flying!" She yelled as her broom plummeted toward the ground. But someone grabbed a hold of her robe collar before she could hit the ground.
"Are you alright?" Morgania Dursley asked. She landed her broom and let Jessica stand on her feet.
"Physically but not mentally." Jessica mumbled. "I think I'll stick to the ground."
"If you say so." Morgania said. She kicked off the ground and went back to soaring through the air with the others. Max landed beside Jessica.
"You must be a muggle born."
"A what?"
"Muggle born. That means you have no magical parents."
"Well duh." She muttered. Then she mentally told herself, 'I don't have parents you moron.'
"I hope I never meet you in the sky, it could be fatal to my health."
"So could death." She yelled. Max grinned at her and went back to the air. "I hate him sooo much!" She muttered in annoyance. She raked her fingers through her hair, and revealed a pointed ear.
An:// Evil aren't I? Don't worry, from here out all the chapters were recovered. Oh yeah, I have to give credit to the people that gave me characters to use.
Orpheus- Meg Atront
Spamwarrior- Sharley, Lorna and Alannah Doors. But Alannah belongs to Eliza Diawna Snape.
Hawkins- The best character! (This is Hawkins haha) Skylar Black!
Soror Caelum- Niaomi Weasley and Morgania Dursley.
Erica the Flying Tree- Erica Malfoy
I'm pretty sure that's it. If you gave me a character and I didn't acknowledge you, please tell me. I can't find that page anymore.
Hawkins here now. The reason GVG has taken so long, and I'm uploading it is cuz our disk went haywire like a month or two ago and we lost everything. We're all caught up now, and have up to Christmas written. 5 more days til the magic begins.
