Bed to Bed Fun : )
Ch 7: Night! Night!
Harry, Hermione, and Ron are in their common room.
Snape is about to storm back off to Dumbledore' office.
Dumbledore is sill in his office.
PJ is traveling through the school.
And one more player in this game of life is one their way to the dungeons.
~*~
Harry goes to get his Firebolt from his room for the Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. In seconds he is charging back down with a note in his fist. "We've got to go! We don't have much time." He grabs Hermione by the arm and heads out the door.
"What's wrong?" Ron trails behind.
"Read this." Harry hands them the note.
Hermione reads it out loud. "Dear Pothead, I have your broom and unless you come to the dungeons right now, it will be forever lost to you at the start of the game. Just fallow the glow-in-the-dark paint you left under your bed."
Ron tore it from her hands. "That's impossible! How could a person get into the Gryffindor common room and out without anyone seeing? Surely no Gryffindor would have done it."
Harry wasn't sure at first, but then it hit him when they had gotten down to the dungeons and used a spell to act as a black light. On one wall there was a chain of smileys and flowers. "PJ! Only she knows everything that she put under my bed and she would know where I keep my broom too."
"So she is evil!"
"I don't know." Harry felt a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. He just couldn't quite believe that PJ had double-crossed him. With that they continued down in silence, into the catacombs of the dungeon.
~*~
Snape storms off to Dumbledore's office, just missing the three students rushing down. He didn't want to admit that Harry was telling the truth, but then again Harry still could be using her. He swings open Dumbledore's door. "Sir! I think I have found our problem."
Dumbledore looks up from some papers. "Which problem?"
"PJ." He said in disgust.
"Oh, she's here?"
"She was just in my room going through my belongings before she disappeared again. Now that we know she exists we must stop her. There is no telling what her and Potter have been doing."
~*~
PJ stops to get something to eat and then heads off to Harry's real room. It's truly a shame that when bed to bed teleporting you can only see those who are sleeping or are in places where she can teleport in because she passed right through Harry as she was going to the room he left only moments before.
~*~
Harry, Hermione, and Ron quickly navigated through catacombs with their wands drawn. The paint leads them through a secret passageway into a place that they were positive no student was meant to go. After a while they came to a dead end. It was in a danker stretch of tunnels deep under the castle, they even thought they heard running water. The dead end seemed hollowed out and slimy, but in the center was a single candle sitting next to Harry's broom.
"There it is!" Ron exclaimed.
"Shh." Hermione scorned. "Where is the person who took it? It doesn't make sense for them to just leave it here."
They slowly made their way to the broom as they watched for its kidnaper. Then it hits and Hermione goes down first petrified. Harry lunges for the broom as he hears the words 'Accio Firebolt' as it flies out of his reach and back to the entrance.
"Expelliarmus!" Ron shouted in the direction of the attack, but missed his target, as he had to dodge the Firebolt.
"Stupefy!" the shadow at the edge of the light said as Ron fell down unconscious. "Well, well, there go all of your friends and I do suggest you throw your wand to me. You are in no condition to duel on the floor. That is unless you sick you little invisible friend on me, but for some odd reason I don't think that will be happening." The figure stepped into the light.
"MALFOY!" Harry didn't get it. How would Malfoy have been able to get into his room? Then it all dawned on him. Malfoy had been making fun of him and PJ from the start. He had even set up the thing on Halloween. Sure there was what Harry and PJ did to him afterwards, but the only explanation of how he got the Firebolt is if he got it from PJ. Does Malfoy really hate him enough to go through that humiliation or did PJ do it on her own for fun?
"Yes, do you really think that I would let you get away with that humiliation? What did you do? Get Peeves to help you?" Malfoy replies sarcastically.
"Actually, yes."
"Now I know your full of bullshit. How in the world would a Gryffindor like you get the help of a Poltergeist that Dumbledore can't even control? Now throw me the wand or do you want me to take it?"
Harry didn't feel like letting Malfoy get a hold of his wand at the moment, so he did the only thing he could do. "Expelliarmus."
Malfoy dodges and sends an Expelliarmus right back.
Harry tries to roll out of the way, but find himself hit down hard on the floor and his wand in Malfoy's hand.
"Now Potter, you are at my mercy and considering I have very little I suggest you do what I say without hesitation. Is that clear or should I practice with one of your friends first?"
Harry spoke through gritted teeth. "Yes."
~*~
Dumbledore thought over the news that Snape had just brought him. "It would be a shame to cancel the Quidditch match today so close to it starting. The students should be heading out right now… Get together the Heads of the Houses while I finish some things here. The game will continue while we search for the girl. Have McGonagall talk to Harry before the game starts and see if he can give us any insight on where we might find her."
"Right away." With that Snape left in a wave if robes.
~*~
Meanwhile, PJ was curled up eating on Harry's bed as she waited for him to return. When PJ was done eating she began to worry about were Harry had gone and if something bad had happened to him. Thus she went off to visit another one of her favorite places in Hogwarts so she could forget about such worries that are most likely figments of her imagination.
~*~
"Let's have a little fun." Malfoy smiled wickedly. "Dance and sing for me." He cast a spell on Harry to make him tap-dance and sing 'Jeepers Creepers'.
Harry couldn't help himself and hoped that someone noticed he was gone and would come looking for him soon:
"I don't care what the weather man says,
When the weatherman says it's raining,
You'll never hear me complaining, I'm certain
the sun will shine, I don't care how the weather
vane points,
When the weather vane points to gloomy,
It's gotta be sunny to me, when your eyes look
into mine;
Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers Creepers! Where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all git up! How'd they get so lit up?
Gosh all git up! How'd they get that size?
Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on,
Woe is me!
Got to get my cheaters on, Jeepers Creepers!
Where'd ya get those peepers? On! Those weepers!
How they hypnotize!
Where'd ya get those eyes?"
~*~
Dumbledore began to quickly put away the papers that he was working on so he could head out and help Snape and the others. However, he was not quick enough to miss what he was about to go searching for.
PJ appeared right in front of Fawkes with her back facing Dumbledore. "Hello pretty Feathers. How are you today?"
Fawkes seemed quite happy to see her as she produced a small treat out of her pocket and let her pet him.
"There you go, as I promised, I came back with more treats. Unfortunately I don't have anymore because I honestly wasn't planning to come back today, but to make up for it I will also come back tomorrow like I planed with even more treats."
"So it is you who have been fattening up my phoenix." Dumbledore said in his calm and friendly manner.
PJ swiveled around. "Santa Claws?"
"No my dear, I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of the school Hogwarts. I believe we met at Halloween."
"Oh, yes, the student. Sorry, I'm still a little sick. What are you doing in Feather's room?"
"This is also my office."
"Oh no!" PJ gasps. "Not again, I'm really sorry to interrupted you. Stupid me, first I get the wrong room and now I forget to look before I leap and interrupted you in what must be important work"
Dumbledore gives a small smile at her reaction; she was quite a cute girl. "Do not worry your self. I was just about to –"
"Do something very important I'm sure. Please forgive me for my rudeness. I will leave right away. I have other friends here to visit." She hastily disappeared again.
~*~
After a while Malfoy laughing, he canceled the spell. "Now I want you to get on your knees."
Harry was panting heavily. He had never tap-danced before and definitely nothing like what he was just made to do. "…"
"Oh, do you want me to do something to one of your friends? Accio wands. Finite Incantatem. Ennervate." With that Hermione unpetrified and Ron work up after their wands where safely in Draco's hand. "Now let me see… What should I have you do?… I got it. Weasley unless you want to me to practice some of the more nastier curses on you, I suggest you kiss Harry."
"No way you're getting me to do that!" Ron exclaimed. "I'd rather have slugs spewing from my mouth again."
"Good idea." He cast the spell at Hermione and she dodges just to get hit be another one as she begins to hack up slugs.
"You bustard!" Ron rushes forward only to back up again when Malfoy's wand is back on him.
"Now, now, I don't think you should be doing that. I warned you that I don't like it when people don't do what I ask them to. If you kiss Harry and make it look good, I will do the counter curse."
"But there isn't one. Hagrid said so last year."
"Fool, you actually listened to a stupid oaf like him? Now come on or I will do something worse to her."
Ron didn't want to see Hermione hit again and Harry was still fairly exhausted, so before Harry could object Ron dipped him so that Malfoy could see the kiss. A stunned Harry fell to the floor.
Malfoy broke up laughing.
"Now undo the cures like you said you would."
"No I don't think that's good enough. That had no feeling in it at all." Malfoy smiled satisfactory.
"THAT'S NO FAIR!" A voice extends from behind Malfoy
Malfoy quickly backs himself to the wall as not to be caught from behind nor attacked by his prey. "Whose there?"
PJ appears. "I come to visit my friend Fido and I find you hurting my friend Harry."
"How long were you standing back there?"
"Since 'if you kiss Harry and make it look good, I will do the counter curse.' I only stayed back to see them kiss. It wouldn't have been fair to Hermione going through all of that eweness without seeing that."
"I see you have no wand on you so I suggest you get over with them."
"What does having a wand have to do with it?"
"This," Malfoy casts a cures at her but it goes right through, "What? you're a ghost?"
"No, silly I'm PJ."
"So PJ is a ghost or are you a poltergeist?"
"Why do you say that? I'm just as living as you."
"I am fairly sure that the only way for a person such as yourself to be incorporeal is if you were dead."
"Oh! You mean the fact that your spell went through me. No, you have it all wrong. I'm projecting myself from the astreoplains so that when Scales comes he won't accidentally step on me or hurt me when we are playing. Fido really likes playing tag. We play all the time, but I can only stay like this ten twenty minutes at top."
"Who is Fido, this isn't the type of place I would expect to find a dog, or at least not a living one?"
There is a crash in the background and the sound of something big moving towards them and PJ smiles. "No silly. Fido is a Phytosaur or at least I think. This is his den." Right behind appears a dragon that really would look like a Phytosaur if it wasn't fifteen feet tall and who knows how long. She looks up, "isn't he absolutely adorable? And to think he has been left down here all alone for who knows how long."
Malfoy stood wide-eyed. "Th… That's no dinosaur. That's… That's a dragon you idiot."
At that Fido lets out a hiss.
PJ looks sad. "I don't think he liked you calling me that."
Hermione belches out some slugs. "Now we have no way out what are we going to do?"
Fido spits a stream of liquid through PJ straight at Harry and Ron. They barely dodge in time as the acid begins to eat away it ground.
"No, no, Fido! Their friends, don't hurt them." PJ tries to calm down Fido as much as she can, but in vane. The next moment Fido snapped at Malfoy, barely missing as PJ pulled Malfoy onto the astreoplains with her.
"PJ!" Harry was on the other side of Fido along with Hermione and Ron, unable to see what just happened. Fido turned to them and was preparing to shoot another stream of acid. Then, before they knew it, they too were on the astreoplains with her and Malfoy, who was feeling really sick from being pulled in so abruptly. "PJ your worse then Hagrid. Now get us out of here."
"Righty roo." PJ teleports them back into Dumbledore's office. "'Ello, I found him." Then she collapses from the strain of caring so many people at once.
In the end Harry's occupation as a student and his sanity is saved as no one can refute PJ's existence any longer. As for PJ, she is sent to a place in the United States to be studied along with taught how to use her ability and become a witch.
From the Author: I hope you enjoyed this story. If you wish to read more, I have an original story called 'Me, Myself and I' that is about a two girls (I and Me) who find a magical pop dispenser and become super heroes. I am also working on two more Harry Potter stories. One is a long series that I have already started to put up called 'Fabrications of the Mind' and the other is a short story that I hope to have up soon called 'One night in Hogwarts'.
