"Hey Kimi!" shouted Becky as she entered the Great Hall for breakfast. They
paid no attention to the teachers begging them to keep it down. How else
would they talk without yelling across the room, send each other owls? They
tried that last week. This was much easier.
"I think we have double transfiguration with ya'll today!" Kimi shouted, a letter fell in her lap. She petted her tawny owl, Horus, and waited for Becky's reply.
"Sweet! See you there, partner, and no turning my notes into a toad again!"
"Ok, but watch your quills!" she snickered.
Becky's day went on as normal, praise for Flitwick, sneers from Snape, a report from Hagrid on, her favorite, the Fwooper. It was a strange bird from the book Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them. She had one for a pet (Sweazle the hot pink Fwooper) so that one would be an A for sure.
Kimi was having a pretty good day too. She got 10 points for Slytherin from Snape, she swore she saw Professor Trelawny being hit by a train in her crystal ball in Divination, and she got lots of extra sleep in Professor Binns class (for which she needed, quidditch practice was today. For extra practice, 2 teams would play a practice game. It just so happened the two teams were Slytherin and Ravenclaw). Finally double transfiguration came around (Kimi's favorite class) and her and Becky sat in their regular seats.
"So, you going surrender now or wait until quidditch practice after class?" said Kimi with a smirk.
"I think I should be asking you that same question." They were both on their house teams and both were beaters. It was the best position in their opinion. Not only do you get to carry a stick but people cheer you on just for whacking things.
Suddenly, the last person in the world they had expected walked in. Dumbledore gave a little wave of this hand to get Professor McGonagall's attention so he could state what he needed. They all immediately went silent.
"I would like to see Kimberly Vanderbilt," Becky and the class snickered at her real name, "and Rebecca Quiddle," Becky's face went pink as the class and Kimi snickered. They rushed out the class and followed the headmaster out of the classroom.
"Mr. Filch tells me you were out of the classes after curfew," said Dumbledore when they had reached his office.
"It's all my fault Professor!" squeaked Becky, "I had lost something in the trash, and Kimi was helping me find it, and we ended up touching a portkey, and we got lost and." Dumbledore raised and hand before she could continue.
"Honest Professor! That's what happened! We didn't mean to stay past curfew!" protested Kimi in her most honest voice. They weren't about to tell the headmaster that they were peaking on Gryffindors in the showers.
"Alright, alright, I believe you but if I catch you out again I will leave it up to Mr. Filch to decide on a suitable punishment." He dismissed them but as Becky was heading out the door he called to her, "And no more using that puppy face," he said smiling.
"I can't wait! It's down to Slytherin and Ravenclaw for the house cup! This will be great!" Kimi said. Both of them had a surge of energy that made them feel as if they could beat the bludger to oblivion and back. When the classes were all finally over they made their ways to the quidditch field, Kimi with her new Thunderbolt (the NEW fastest broom around) and Becky with her Nimbus 2000. They mounted on Madam Hooch's signal and immediately zoomed after the bludgers. Becky was quivering with excitement as she loomed overhead. Quidditch was a very fast game in which if you blink, you loose a body part. Kimi however liked her body parts the way they were.
A bludger zoomed towards Cho, the Ravenclaw seeker and, despite her resentment for Cho, Becky spun her broom around and nearly fell off trying to knock it away from the seeker for she was the most important part of the game.
Kimi and Becky raced around chasing the same bludger, basically talking the whole time while their fellow beaters handled the second bludgers. Not realizing where they were aiming or that they were even on opposite teams, they found the perfect moment and performed a Dopplebeater Defense move on the bludger (when 2 beaters hit the bludger at the same time for extra power).
"QUIDDLE!" shouted Madame Hooch from below.
"Yes?" Becky asked, slowing her broom to a stop.
"She's not on your team!"
"Oh yeah! Sorry!"
"Hey Becky, Who's on first?" shouted Kimi.
"Naturally!" Becky yelled back over the swoosh of the bludgers.
"THIRD BASE!" they both shouted at the same time, giggling up a storm.
Draco leaned over to a fellow team mate confusedly.
"Third base? What are they talking about?" whispered the pure blooded wizard child.
"Must be a witch thing." he replied and sped off after the quaffle.
When they had run out of time for practice the score had been tied, 150 to 150 and yet Kimi and Becky still had the energy to keep talking all the way back to the castle.
"Are you serious? He asked you to the dance?" Becky squealed delightedly.
"Yup. I can't believe it! Ron asked me to the dance. Good thing it's not a fancy Yule Ball type thing, just a casual dance." Said Kimi
"What king of music do wizards and witches listen to anyway?" asked the half blood Ravenclaw.
"Pretty much the same. My uncle is a muggle and I've heard him listening to some."
"Cool! Think Oliver will ask me?"
"Not a chance."
"Hey! Your mean! See if I buy you Cow Tails (a muggle candy) again!" They raced off into the castle happily.
"I think we have double transfiguration with ya'll today!" Kimi shouted, a letter fell in her lap. She petted her tawny owl, Horus, and waited for Becky's reply.
