A/N- Part II... WHOO! Exciting, ain't it? I hope you guys like this also!!
=)
7:36 PM, Friday
I think my watch broke again. It's been saying 7:36 for the past few hours. I'm scared.
Daniel now keeps his distance from me, and so do the other Hufflepuff's. HA! Now they know not to mess with me. Of course that doesn't mean that they stop sitting by our table. Sheesh!
In Potions, Professor Spark gave me the evil eye. I looked around the classroom, and I noticed that he was giving it to everyone else as well. Then I realized that was how his eye ALWAYS looked. Whoa. Is that scary or what?
In dinner, FDD came back to our table and started staring again. He may LOOK different, but he sure is weird.
"Um... James. Why do you keep doing that?" Regora asked.
"I'm observing. Haven't you got that already?" James replied sounding irritated by our constant questioning.
"Yeah, but at what? You know, when you do that a lot... it doesn't seem like your normal," Birenia said and Scarlett nodded.
"I'm OBSERVING that owl. You see him? He always stands on that branch outside. You can see it through the window. But by my side of the table, I can't see what it's doing." He then made a sound that sounded as if he were fascinated by something. "Oooo... he just woke up. Watch out!" He then pushed me over and stood up on my used-to-be seat.
Scarlett, Regora, Birenia and I were just staring at him. We couldn't even get a laugh out. Scarlett started crying.
"Why? Why? Lord made him so gorgeous, and there he goes acting like a freak," she whispered, while Dorky Dorkison (Yes, we're back to his old name. Former Dorky Dorksion didn't seem to suit him) was taking notes and 'Oooed' and 'Ahhhed'.
Regora put her head in her head, and shook her head disapprovingly. I continued eating my food looking elsewhere, not wanting people to think I was FRIENDS with this dork. And Birenia, well... Birenia... she stood up on the table as well, trying to see the owl too, making the 'Ahhs' and 'Ooos' with him.
While Dorky Dorkison was making a fool of himself, I cast a glance at Kelly, and I saw her laughing hysterically with her friends. Even though, I didn't like James that much, it made me happy to know that SHE doesn't want him either.
7:36 PM, Saturday
Yep. My watch most certainly is broken. Dang!
Scarlett FINALLY got her red hair back. Birenia had the choice to keep her red hair, or change back to her blonde, but she decided that she loved her red hair, so she kept it. Scarlett felt mad because now her crimson hair color isn't original. I think she's going to dye it purple. Stay clear from Scarlett.
And guess what? Dorky Dorkison is STILL with Kelly. They are going out, and apparently the whole school has accepted Mr. Dorkison and his dorky ways.
I HATE MY LIFE!
7:36 PM, Sunday
I decided that I didn't want to buy a watch from Hogsmeade because of the last one, and I didn't want to waste my money again. Maybe I'll get a muggle one over the summer. I might ask Mom or Dad for one. Possibly even Petunia? I hope they'll send me a silver watch with a lily in the center.
Dorky Dorkison has totally changed since that last thing by dinner. He doesn't 'observe' anymore and he doesn't even look at me, Birenia, Regora or Scarlett anymore. I just KNOW that Kelly told him not to. Something she would do, anyway.
7:36, Monday
I sent an owl to Mom about the watch thing. I'll probably get a reply in a couple of days. Lord I need a new watch already. Today Arthur Weasley from Gryffendor asked me for the time. Without even looking at my watch, I said 7:36. It was obvious that it wasn't since it seemed right by noon. Arthur looked at me, eyebrows lifted. I didn't flinch once.
I saw Arthur asking Regora when I walked away. It was 12:34. Go figure.
In breakfast I tried to catch Dorky Dorkison's attention. I hoped that I was one of those people that have a stare that makes you turn to look at them..
I'm not.
I was focusing on the back of his, staring at him for what seems like decades without blinking. Finally Birenia had the courtesy to say, "Uh... dude. You know when you do that long enough, you're eyes water themselves and then they overflow with water until it actually effects your vision."
I blinked.
"Why do you like him anyway? He's such a dork," Regora commented.
Scarlett gave her a death stare. "Don't speak of the gorgeous like that."
I looked at Scarlett for a second and turned back to Regora. "Because..." I said, "even though he may ACT dorky, deep inside, he has human feelings too." I took a bight of some food. "Besides," I added, "Scarlett has a point. He's hot."
7:36, Tuesday
This is so aggravating. I was late to three classes with my only excuse being, "According to my watch, I'm REALLY early." Detention tomorrow.
I was hoping for Dorky Dorkison to come back today. Okay. So am I that shallow, that I only like him for his looks. I mean, cut me some slack. He's REALLY hot.
"Okay. Fine," I said when Birenia confronted me. "Starting tomorrow, I will see the GOOD sides of Dorky-"
"James Potter," she corrected me.
I clenched my teeth and started over. "Okay. Starting tomorrow, I will see the good side of Mr. Potter. Happy?"
I turned to the three who were looking at me, smiling evil smiles. "Oh yeah."
7:36 Wednesday
I got my owl back from Mom. Petunia answered my owl. She said no. Humph! How can she treat her baby sister like this? Out of all the times I have showed such sisterly love, and this is the thanks I get?
Er, maybe I should stop lying.
Scarlett dyed her hair (purposely) purple. She looks too scary. She may have to change her name to Violet or Lavender or something. She said that she'll be keeping it, and the scary thing is, she sounded genuine. I'm worried.
During lunch, Dorky-I mean James, snorted while laughing. I turned away in disgust, but Birenia shook her head, and had me name one good aspect about him.
"Um. he's very observant?"
"And how is that good?" Regora asked me.
"Because... he's not the kind of person who just looks at something and acts as if he knows everything about it."
Regora coughed awfully loudly. I pretended as if that never happened. People started staring, and I finally had to kick her under the table to stop.
Today I had a detention because of being late yesterday. I was sitting with Professor Kinkle, the professor for Divination. His eyes were closed and he was humming. I think he forgot to tell me to do something while I was in detention. Once in a while he started speaking gibberish. Just reminds me of his class.
7:36 Thursday
I sent another owl out for MOM this time. Hopefully Petunia won't get hold of it again.
Birenia broke up with Daniel, the Hufflepuff kid. She gave no reason as to why she broke up with him, but this morning by the table, it was filled with only Gryffendor's, and by the Hufflepuff's table, I think there were signs of mourning.
Kelly played a practical joke on me. She found out about my 'watch problem' and gave me a watch. During class, noises came from the watch. Noises that sounded like my voice, that spoke back to the teachers. Yep, I was sent to detention again. Lovely day it's turning out to be, right?
ACTUALLY, I wasn't the only one in detention. James was there too. He took a look at me, and quickly turned his head back t Professor Kinkle (Who, by the way, looks REALLY bad in pink.) He did this for a good ten minutes, until I said, "James? What are you doing?"
"Avoiding you," he stuttered.
Man, he looks fine. NO! I must think about something good now. Um..... ok. He's probably I here because he did something bold and daring. He must be brave!
"Why are you in here?" I asked.
"Because I was told by Sirius Black, that when I go to detention, it makes people think I'm bold and daring. So, do you think I'm brave?"
Not anymore. "Uh, yeah. Sure."
"What about you?" he asked in turn.
"Oh, Kelly Ken-" then I realized who I was talking to, so I said, "Somebody gave me a watch that talks fresh to the teachers."
James looked at me for a second, as if he was trying to figure something out. He finally asked, "What happened to your watch?"
"It broke. Twice."
7:36 (sigh.), Friday
Scarlett has now convinced me that I shall start calling her Lilac. Is that even a name?
James stopped by today. He didn't act weird or anything, he just came over to our table, and started talking to us! Can you believe it? He was TALKING to me! LILAC didn't really say anything. Well, let me clarify that, she didn't say anything that made SENSE. She just looked at him and sighed. Odd, odd Lilac.
I found out that James was becoming friendlier with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Maybe now he WILL learn how to be bold and daring. Lord, I hope so.
Birenia's red hair is coming out slowly. Her natural blonde started to shine through. So for now, she has red hair with blonde streaks. It actually looks really cool. Man she is lucky. I always thought about dying my red hair to... a YELLOW! But, then I always freak out, so I don't.
I so need a life.
7:36, Saturday
Mom responded about my watch. Yeah, that's not happening. I guess it's time to throw this watch out. Stupid watch! I guess it's gone now. I sure miss my silver watch with the lily in the center.
James broke up with Kelly during lunch. I had a big feeling it had to do with her practical joke. She started making this whole scene, and cried everywhere. James didn't even give in. Whoa! Dude, he IS brave. Then when she realized he wasn't going to do anything about her dramatics, she slapped him (Ouch!) and walked over to some other table. By dinner she acted as if nothing ever happened. But every now and then she sneers at James.
In Professor Spark's class, he made his biggest mistake ever.
He said that adding something and something makes something because of something's certain properties (I wasn't paying attention during that part of class.)
Birenia pounced on him at once. He had obviously made a big error.
"But Professor Spark, you said the properties of something was this and this. If these are the properties, how can they be part of the formula for a potion with this and this properties?"
"Er, well-"
"And if we were take TWO parts of something, then it creates a new property. A new property that something's properties aren't made up of. It doesn't make sense."
"Well-"
"And one of the ingredients-I know this as a fact-is NOT something. During the summer I was actually studying," GASP, "and I read over something's ingredients. THIS was for SURE not part of it."
Birenia gave a wide smile. Regora, LILAC and I all whistled and clapped.
"Class dismissed."
And that was that.
Even though Regora, Lilac/Scarlett and I were sent to detention for disrupting the class, it was so worth it. Guess who was there again? James.
When he saw me there he smiled, and started to make conversation. Regora was trying to make Professor Kinkle explain why he was humming, and where she heard that tune before.
Lilac/Scarlett was looking at herself in the mirror. She was looking at her new hair color. Doing new styles, wondering what it would be like if it was yellow. Oh, Lord, protect us all.
James.
James and I talked for a while. A laugh from me, a snort from him. But it was fun. I think he's cute (that's not just about his looks.) Okay, so he IS really hot, but I like his personality too.
10:17 PM, Sunday
Today, before Regora, Lilac/Scarlett, Birenia and I left for Hogsmeade, James stopped us and asked me to walk with him. I asked the three if it was okay, and they all gave me a thumbs up. Lilac/Scarlett whispered in my ear, "If it doesn't work out, he's mine."
We walked and talked. We had lunch together and went to different places. I like James. He's funny and nice. Even though he IS dorky (BELIEVE me, he is. I cracked a little joke, and he started his laugh-snort. He snorted so much that he started coughing. He's working on his laugh) I think he's nice.
And being gorgeous, of course, isn't always such a bad thing.
And right when we got back to Hogwarts, he gave me a little box. I opened it up, and you know what was in it?
A silver watch, with the picture of a lily in the center.
