Cloak*and*Dagger: Hi!!!!! I know, it's only been a few days since my last
update, but I figure I might as well keep the creative juices flowing. That
way I get more out faster, and I don't have any time for second thoughts on
whether I want to continue or not... I'll be too busy typing! True to my
word I will respond to all of my reviewers one by one, from all of my
chapters, but first I would like to ask a question. Would any of you care
to join a mailing list, telling you when I update? If you would please tell
me so at RageCage1138@aol.com, and don't worry if you do give me your
screen name, I SWEAR that I won't use it for anything but to tell you that
I've updated! I'm telling you this straight out so that you don't think I'm
trying to get your screen names so I can send you chain letters. I've
proposed this mailing list because I know how annoying it is to have to
check all of your favorite listed stories, only to find out that they
haven't been updated, and other than that this is for your benefit, so that
you know when I'm working on my story. Look at it this way if you really
like my story, and you become part of my mailing list, if I ever stop
typing or if I'm going too slow then you know where to email me, so you can
yell at me and tell me to get up and get writing! Wow, this is a long
author's note! Sorry!
Authors Response:
Lina Inverse the Dramata: If you're still reading I'd just like to thank you so very very much! Hehe it will be interesting when Dumbledor finds out, trust me!
Milbo: *smiles* meep is a cool word! Thank you, I'm glad you like my story!!!
Kitana: You love reading about the Founders? Me too, it's just that there aren't many stories about then out there, and if there are I can't find them! I'm afraid Harry and Co. won't be making an appearance, but if I make a sequel you bet your buttons they'll be in it..... Just probably not the way everyone wants them in it, no offence, it's just that I'm not big on 'the good guys'. I guess I just see the Slytherins in different light, I honestly think they aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Oh well, hope you enjoy this chapter!
Amanda: Hey Mandi!!!!!! You don't mind me calling you Mandi, do you? Anyway thanks for that PEACHY little pep talk, I when I first read it, I really needed it. See ya when you can sign on the Internet again!
Katherine: Founder binge, eh? Could you point out a couple good ones to me, please?
Emilia: You should rent it! It's really funny, but it's old like from the late seventies/early eighties, so you might have trouble finding it. About Salazar, I can't tell you what's the deal with him, but trust me you'll find out later! Oh, and don't worry Jamie and Sirius won't be big on each other soon, certain *pauses* things will be keeping them away from each other. *Grins* Yes Salazar and confined spaces ARE good. You know it's sad, I think my version of Salazar is cute, and I don't think you're supposed to do that in your stories. Oh well. Hey guess what? You're automatically on my mailing list, you see I figure if mailing you gets you to review faster, then I get to send you my lovely little emails whenever I update!!!!! Lucky you!
Quote of the Chapter: Seeing as I'm updating so fast I think I'm gonna stick with my last quote. And just because I'm so nice I'll repeat it for you! "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, 'I drank what?'"
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Harry Potter universe, nor from Drop Dead Fred. I do, however, claim artistic license with my version of Salazar Slytherin! I DO own Jamie and Kattie, if you ever want to use them in a story (why you would want to is beyond me) please ask me first. I don't take much pride in them, but I would like to know where they are wreaking havoc on the net. *Looks up at everything that has been typed* OH DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean to take so long! Well on with the story!
Chapter5: A Nightmare Come True
September 1st came quickly. Jamie couldn't have been happier; she was finally going to Hogwarts! And as for her silver haired stalker, she wasn't all that worried anymore. Ever since the incident in the pet shop she hadn't seen him. She figured he had been found, and taken back to whatever mental hospital he belonged to. 'If he was just a nutcase on a day cruse away from the funny farm, then how is it that he came out of your old Jack in the Box?' that annoying little voice inside her head asked.
'STOP IT! I refuse to believe that he was anything more than a quack who was a couple of cards short of a full deck!' she thought/yelled at herself.
But the impish voice would not relent, 'Testy, testy!' Here it paused, and if it had had a face it probably would have been grinning evilly. 'You miss him don't you?'
'Like a hernia,' she replied flatly.
'Fine have it your way.'
'I will, thanks!'
The car ride to King's Cross was short, for that Jamie was grateful. She quickly got out of the car and helped her mother get her trunk onto a trolley. "Be sure to owl me all of your grades, Jamie. I'll see you at the end of the school year, dear," her mother said, without much feeling.
"Yes Mother," she replied tonelessly, while thinking of several un-nice words she could use to describe her mother.
'Yikes! If your going to think things like that, do it in someone else's head!' the impish mental voice snapped.
'This is my head, and I think about what ever I damn well please!' Jamie yelled. The new argument made her begin to think about the argument she had had with herself earlier. 'If he was just a nutcase on a day cruse away from the funny farm, then how is it that he came out of your old Jack in the Box?' That sentence echoed around in her head for a few seconds, until she couldn't take it any more. "Mother, do you remember if I ever had any imaginary friends?" she asked, knowing perfectly well what the answer was, but she had to go about this slyly.
"No, dear, I don't remember Salazar."
"How did he disappear, again?"
"This is not a conversation that I'm willing to have! The fact is that he's gone, and you're better now." Her mother said shrilly. "Now go on dear, before the train leaves."
'So much for turning to your mother in times of need,' Jamie thought as she wheeled her way through the barrier to Platform 9 ¾.
'Well honestly, how much help did you think Polly was going to be? Did you actually think that she would tell you a way to get rid of Mystery-Boy, just in case he came back?'
'Shut up demon! It was worth a try,' she replied, while walking through the train to find an empty compartment or Kattie. ************************************************************************ Ten minutes later the train started to depart. Kattie and Jamie had found each other, and decided to pick a compartment towards the back of the train. For a few minutes they were both silent, settling themselves down for the long journey to Hogwarts.
"Alright, it's time to fawn over my owl now!" Kattie said enthusiastically.
Jamie smiled slightly, then asked, "What did you name him?"
"Artemis, I just love that name! What about your little kitten?"
Jamie opened the wicker basket, and looked down at the tiny kitten, which at the moment was trying to catch the retreating lid. "I haven't really thought about it, I guess."
"WHAT?!? It's almost been a month, and you still haven't named it??"
"Chill out before you have a heart attack. If you're so hell bent on me naming it why don't you give me a few suggestions?"
"Ok, hmmmm, let's see how about........ Fluffy?"
Jamie gave her a look that said, 'you have to be joking me.'
Kattie laughed, "Ok guess not, why don't you call it...... Trigger?"
"I'm not naming my cat after part of a gun."
"Mortekai." (Author's note: pronounced Mort-a-keye)
Jamie's eyes light up, "Yeah that's it, you're the greatest Kattie. I'll call him Mortekai!"
Kattie looked at her confusedly, "I didn't say anything, well not after you turned down Trigger anyway."
"Well SOMEONE said Mortekai, and if it wasn't you then who-"
"I said it!" replied an over enthusiastic, accented voice. Both Kattie and Jamie turned to look at the compartment, where there stood a boy, around 15 or 16, with silver hair and emerald eyes, clad in a traditional Hogwarts uniform, with an odd silver chain around his neck. Whatever was at the bottom of the chain was covered by the front of his robes.
Jamie and Kattie's mouth's dropped open, but for different reasons. Jamie was shocked. The psychopath went to Hogwarts! Kattie, on the other hand, was stunned that a cute guy who was obviously much older then they were, was talking to them.
"Do you mind if I sit here," he asked, pointing at the seat next to Kattie.
"No," Kattie said in voice that one would normally reserve for when one was talking to God, that is if there was a moment one ever talked to God.
"You can see him?!?" Jamie was panicking, 'The loon goes to Hogwarts, this is not good! I mean what if I'm put into whatever house he's in, he'd never leave me alone!'
Kattie gave her one of those looks that practically screamed, 'OF COURSE I CAN SEE THE STUD THAT'S SITTING NEXT TO ME!!'
"Of course she can see me, why wouldn't she, James?" he asked giving her a devilish look.
Kattie looked up, "Do you two know each other?"
"Kattie, THIS is Salazar, you know the kid who popped out of the Jack in the Box," Jamie said, on the verge of a spazz attack.
"You're bad at describing things, Jamie," she turned to Salazar, "She had me thinking you were invisible. So how did you two meet?"
Jamie could do nothing but gape in terror at Salazar, as he plunged into an elaborately made up story, about how they met as result of a freak weasel attack. Kattie was hanging on every word.
'I can't believe that she's believes him!! That has to be the worst story I've ever heard!' Jamie mentally screamed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cloak*and*Dagger: Ok I'm sorry to cut the scene short, and just as we started to get going to, but I have to go, dinner's ready, so I'll continue the train ride later! Before I go I'd like to ask you one thing. Who would you rather have join the compartment Lucius, Severus, or Sirius? Bye! REVIEW!
