Chapter 31
Oh this is so sad. Christina is sitting beside me, her eyes glued to her laptop screen, reading. A story. A seriously SLUSHY story. Like so slush that I feel sick. And it's lunchtime! Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. Well, at least we're allowed in the classroom. There's a group of kids who've barricaded themselves in the storeroom, though, and they're wailing at the top of their lungs. Practising for the class concert, which is on in like....HALF AND HOUR! I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY VIOLIN! OH CRAP! I don't know why I'm writing this, so....yeah. Victoria's just decided to pick up her recorder to practise her piece: Silent Night. Won't be a very silent night for me, now. Shudder. I'll have nightmares. Oh great. Michelle's picked up her violin! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"DRACO!" shrieked Sarah, in alarm. The boy was LITERALLY on fire.
"AHAHAHAHA!" cackled Michelle. "That's so funny!"
Susie was rolling on the ground, laughing hysterically.
"What?" gasped Amelia, staring at the burning boy. Louisa's eyes were wide, and her mouth dropped open.
"What just happened?" she said.
"YOU'RE ON FIRE!" shouted Sarah, trying to beat the flames out with her hands. Draco seemed quite dazed.
"Huh?" he said.
"YOU'RE. ON. FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Sarah. Susie suddenly stopped, realising that lives were at stake here.
"OH MY GOD! HE'S GONNA DIE!" she cried, frozen. "I'll....I'll....get help." She scrambled to her feet, and dashed out of the corridor.
"Me too!" squeaked Amelia, running after her. Louisa had slowly begun to grin.
"Wow...." she said, sounding awed. "He's on fire."
"Is he gonna die?" grinned Michelle, a manic smile lighting up her face. "It's about bloody time!"
"NOOOOO!" wailed Sarah. "Don't die, Draco!"
"I guess it must've been one of the sparks from the wand," said Rachel, watching the scene, calmly.
Michelle was giggling madly, and clapping her hands, jumping up and down.
"Yes!" she grinned. "Yay! There's gonna be a death! There's gonna be a death!"
Sarah was sobbing, as she tried to extinguish the fire.
Malfoy had suddenly realised what was happening, and he began screaming.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed. "I'M ON FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!"
"Aw naw?" said Rachel, rolling her eyes with an impatient sigh. Susie suddenly reappeared, with Amelia at her side, and with a triumphant grin, flung the contents of the water bucket over the boy. The fire grew larger.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?" screamed Sarah.
"Uh.." Susie tipped the bucket over, to check the side. It read: Highly flammable. Floor Polish.
"Oops," said Susie. "Floor polish."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" cried Sarah.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" cried Draco.
"HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEE!" cackled Susie.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" repeated Draco.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" wailed Sarah.
"Funny," grinned Susie, giving a sheepish grin.
"NO IT'S NOT!" screeched Sarah, obviously distraught. "Go get water!"
"I'm....mel....ting...." said Rachel, imitating a snowman in Queensland.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Amelia was panic stricken. "What do I do with this then?" she babbled, gesturing to the bucket she was carrying. Then, in hysteria, she threw it all over Draco. The bucket struck the boy, causing him to cry out in pain, and drop the wand. Instantly, the flames went out.
"Aw...." Michelle looked disappointed.
"Whew!" said Susie, looking relieved. It wouldn't have looked very good to be in a corridor with a dead guy, who had burns all over his face. Especially when her fingerprints were on the handle of the empty FLOOR POLISH bucket next to him.
"Yay!" grinned Sarah, flinging her arms round his middle. "You're better!"
Draco looked quite astonished. Rachel rolled her eyes skywards.
"She's....happy," gasped Michelle, looking quite repulsed. "Ew! Happiness!"
"Well you were happy a second ago," shrugged Sarah. "Anyway. Draco's not going to die, now!"
Michelle stamped her foot on the ground, angrily. "Humph! Not fair!" she shouted. "Why won't he die?"
"Well Artemis is as good as dead," said Rachel.
The other girl nodded slowly. "Yeah....I guess that's okay, then."
"WHAT? ARTEMIS IS DEAD?" shouted Louisa, astonished. Amelia 'tutted' loudly, shaking her head.
"Can't we leave you alone with a person for one minute without you killing them?" she sighed.
"Well I can't help it!" replied Rachel, indignantly. "They just....well....die. Kinda."
Michelle was looking around, humming a tune. "Wasn't me," she said.
"MiCHELLE!" shouted Susie, sounding exasperated. "You're always killing people! Can't you stop for one day?"
Michelle considered it. "Umm....nah. Life would be too boring, then." Then, upon realising what she had just said, she shuddered. "Ugh. Life."
Her friends sighed. It was Michelle all over to hate life.
"How about your own life?" asked Amelia, determined to catch Michelle in the deadly web of her own words.
"Yeah!" said Rachel, eyes wide. "Commit suicide! Like in your playschool song! Well....actually....it's gayschool in your song, but yeah."
"Humph," said Michelle. "I would, but if I do, there would be no one left to kill everyone, and so that wouldn't work either. Maybe I could kill everyone in the world, and THEN commit suicide. But then, what would be the point, seeing that everyone's dead, and---"
"Okay, okay," said Sarah, quickly. "We get the point."
"Good," said Michelle. "Because if you don't---"
"Shut. Up." Rachel glowered at the homicidal mathematical-hating maniac who stood beside her.
Even Michelle knew when to keep her big mouth shut. So she continued talking.
"See, 'cause---" she began.
"See, 'cause," mimicked Sarah.
Meanwhile....
"Harry!" sobbed Christina. "He's dead!"
"Actually," observed Victoria, leaning down to inspect the unconscious boy. "I think he's just waking up."
And indeed, at that moment, Harry opened his eyes.
"Where am I?" he croaked. Then he saw Christina, who was bent over him, a huge grin on her face.
"Oh no. I wasn't that bad, was I?" he groaned.
"Huh?" said Christina.
A long silence followed. There was little that could be said to the girl's oblivious stupidity.
10 minutes later.
A piercing shriek cut through the air.
"OH! I GET IT! THAT'S SO STUPID!"
Which was then followed by uncontrollable laughter.
No prizes for guessing who it was.
"Okay...." said Victoria, looking at Christina as if she were some giant form of lakeland monster. Alex patted Ron's head soothingly, as the boy cringed away from Christina's awful laughter.
"HE THINKS HE DIED AND WENT TO HELL!" giggled Christina. Suddenly, she became aware of why he made the statement. "Hey...." she began, looking very hurt.
"Christina, Christina," sighed Victoria, shaking her head sadly.

Okay. I'm about to start a test in like three minutes so I've just finished this really quickly, and yeah. So wish me luck in my tests! E-)
