mailto:triciaperks@teenmag.com to tell me. I need members. That is why I
skipped a couple of floors. Oh, I need disclaimer suggestions, since mine
are soooo totally boring. Kind of like the ruler unit I had in technology,
he-llo, we're 8th graders, we've known how to use rulers since like,
preschool. And I'm making some people OOC to suit the story.

"It's like, lunchtime," Millie complained to Hermione as they entered the sixth floor. "Past lunchtime," she added, checking her green watch. "When do we get to eat? I'm hungry." They entered a small room with ten chairs and a table.
"I think we get lunch here," Hermione said, trying not to get too annoyed at Millie. Only another pair was there: Rebecca and Hannah.
"Hey, guys," Rebecca said, trying her best to get a bunch of green goop out of her blonde hair.
"You need your wand for that," said Hemione, pulling out her own wand and making the green goop disappear.
"You know, for a bossy know-it-all, you aren't so bad," Hannah told Hermione. Hermione overlooked the bossy know-it-all part, being in a good mood. Besides, Hermione was really lightening up.
"Hey, peoples." Susan and Lavender had entered. Of this pair, Lavender had bright orange goop in her really light blonde hair.
"Hermione," whined Lavender, "can you please get this horrible stuff out of my hair? Why'd one of each pair have to put goop in her hair anyway? It's so gross."
"For light. Remember, we had to hop from column to column in the dark. And there can't be people falling," explained Hermione.
"I know, I hated having it in my hair, too." She removed the orange stuff from Lavender's hair. Then Mandy and Kelly entered.
"Oh, and Lavender," Hermione added slyly, "the goop I got in my hair was lime green."
"UGH! GROSS!" cried Lavender, horrified at the thought. Hermione and Millie laughed.
"I'm kidding," said Hermione. "I had pink stuff in my hair."
"Not funny," said Lavender, pouting.
"Um, Hermione?" said Mandy.
"Let me guess. You want me to get that horrible, very dark yellow-gray-pink stuff out of your hair?" Hermione said.
"I didn't know that color even existed, it's so incredibly ugly," said Susan.
"Me, either," muttered Hermione, before getting rid of the disgusting stuff and turning Mandy's hair back to brown.
"Where are Kendra and Eloise? We can't eat before they come," said Rebecca. "And the letter evaporated as soon as Hannah and I read it."
"Guess we just have to wait for those two slowpoke losers," Millie muttered.
"Gee, thanks a lot Millie," Kendra said from behind Millie. Millie blushed to the roots of her black hair, looking embarrassed.
"Now we're all supposed to sit down, five on each side," said Hannah.
"Who do you think you are, a teacher?" Millie said.
"Well, Blubber," said Hannah, ignoring the fact that Millie was about half a foot taller, as well as being about 50 pounds heavier,
"I know how much you love to eat, so sit down and you get your food."
"Who do you think you're talking to, you censored Hufflepuff?" Millie bellowed.
Kendra caught Millie's eye, and mouthed "Our agreement." Millie backed off, and sat down. Kendra sat next to her, and
Hermione sat on Kendra's other side. When everyone was seated, food appeared. It was heroes, about a foot long for each person.
"Daag, this is mad long," Millie said. "YUMMY! I LOVE FOOD!" Kendra exchanged a smirk with Hermione. "Bologna, ham, olive roast, and roast beef! I love those! and cheese!"
"I'm gonna take the ham off mine. I hate ham," Kendra said.
"Millie, do you want it?"
"Sure!" Millie said, greedly grabbing it from Kendra. Everyone else took off the stuf they hated, until Millie had a huge pile of detested foods on her plate. Millie had a huge grin on her tanned face.
"Hey, there are good!" Kendra said when she had finished hers. When Lavender, the slowest eater, had finished, ice cream sundaes appeared. Kendra's had caramel, peanut butter, hot fudge, peanuts, m&M's and a heck of a lot of other stuff. Kendra's stomach growled, although she had just eaten.
"This looks great," Kendra said happily as she began to gobble up her sundae at hyper speed. The others did that also. When all ten girls had finished eating, another note appeared. It said to pair off. Kendra joined Susan Bones, and Hermione joined Rebecca Fawcett. Then they set off for the 7th floor.
"What do you suppose we'll be doing?" Susan wondered.
Kendra shrugged. "Don't ask." She took out her scrunchie and put her curly brown hair into a ponytail.
"You know, Kendra," said Susan slyly, "I think Harry likes you. As in likes you."
"Really?" squeaked Kendra, her tanned face going crimson.
"You like him too." Kendra nodded. "Kendra, I should set you two up. That would be so cool."
"I guess," said Kendra. "But he likes this fifth year Ravenclaw."
"You mean Cho Chang?" Susan said with distaste. "That flirt? And that's the nice way to put it. You are so much better than that little midget. I think even Lavender is taller than Cho."
"Thanks, Susan," Kendra said, smiling at her friend. Would Susan still be Kendra's friend if she knew Kendra's secret? Would anybody? Well, maybe a Slytherin or any Death Eater relative would, Kendra was sort of friends with her cousin Toni. But Toni was her cousin. They have to be friends. Kendra did not like Pansy, Allison Mitton, or Gemma Tack at all. Millie was even more disliked by Kendra. Kendra had a horrible feeling that if people knew her secret, they'd hate her. So Kendra kept her mouth shut. I have awful relatives. I hate them, she thought sadly. People would at least be afraid of her.
"Hey, we got a note," Susan said suddenly, her green eyes sparkling.
"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't speak of midgets," Kendra joked.
"You can't be much over five-nothing, yourself."
"You're no giant yourself, Kendra," Susan told her.
"I'm five foot four, FYI," Kendra said. "And my brother Jared is only ten, and he's four-eleven!"
"Your brother is tall, and you're short," Susan said.
"I'm average height," said Kendra.
"Do you get it?" Susan said.
"Yes, since our second year," replied Kendra.
"Then you're shortish," Susan repiled.
"Not funny," pouted Kendra. "Hermione can still grow, and she's pretty tall! It's not fair!"
"Let's just read the letter already," Susan sighed. The partners skimmed over the letter. The group had split up. "Okay, so we have to keep our arms linked the whole time. what for?"
"Don't know. For the task?" Kendra suggested, shrugging. She rolled up the sleeves of her size-gigantic sweatshirt. Apparently they were all made to fit Crabbe and Goyle, the largest peole in their year. Kendra's sweatshirt was down to her knees, and was very baggy, because Crabbe and Goyle were so fat. Like hippos, only less graceful, Kendra thought, giggling to herself. She thought of how Lavender looked in her sweatshirt. Lavender was so small, and so skinny, that her sweatshirt was to her ankles, almost.
Susan and Kendra linked arms. "It also says to spin ourselves around nine times with our arms linked," Kendra reminded Susan. The pair began spinning. one time. four times. eight times.
On the ninth spin, Kendra and Susan suddenly found themselves spinning faster and faster. The room was a teriffic whirl of color, Kendra felt as if she was going to lose her lunch, as well as her breakfast.
The girls began to slow down. Slower. slower. ever slower. full stop. The girls landed in a muddy lake.
"Ew. This is gross!" Susan said. "My hair! It must be brown now, instead of red. Gross!"
"Hey, watch what you say about brown hair!" Kendra said, a grin on her face stating that she was kidding.
"Anyway, our task is to find the rest of the group in this, er, is this a jungle?"
"I guess we should start looking," Susan said.
"I HAVE AN IDEA!!!" said Kendra.
"Kendra, why are you shouting? " Susan asked, sounding amused.
"That is my idea. Yell our heads off AND OTHERS WILL FIND US! KENDRA EADES AND SUSAN BONES ARE HERE!"
"Kendra's lost her marbles," said Susan. Just then, two figures appeared. "You can drop arms now," one of them said. One figure was of average height and weight, and the other was average height and fat. It was Eloise and Mandy.
"Okay," said Kendra, "I have this idea where we walk around hollering our heads off. We take turns. The others will be sure to find us quickly. Mandy, you go first, as you have a big mouth."
"Sure," Mandy said. "OVER HERE OVER HERE OVER HERE!"
"Geez, girl," Eloise said while Mandy was still yelling as if she was under the Cruciatus Curse. "I'm gonna go deaf."
"YELL MANDY, YELL!" Kendra said. Mandy kept on yelling. Before long, the group found another pair: Kelly and Millicent.
Then Millie started to holler, glad for the opportunity. It took longer this time before finding a pair. The pair was Rebecca and Hermione. Millie insisted on yelling some more. Everybody agreed, knowing that then Millie's voice would be shot. It was about 20 minutes before the last pair, Hannah and Lavender was found. Everyone linked arms and spun 9 times. They landed on the 8th, and last, floor.
The first clue that something was wrong was that everyone had the feeling they were being watched. But they ignored it. They read the final letter from Dumbledore, telling them to jump out the window holding hands with somebody. Kendra went with Eloise; Hermione went with Susan; Millie went with Kelly; Hannah went with Rebecca; Mandy went with Lavender. Kendra and Eloise started towards the window.
Suddenly, about ten people Apparated out of thin air. They were not group one. They all seemed to be adults. The lighting turned red. They were wearing long robes, with hoods pulled up over their faces. Uh oh, Hermione thought. She recognized them from Harry's description. She watched Kendra go dead white. They had both realized that the men were Death Eaters. They turned and drew out their wands. Kendra gulped and exchanged frightened glances with everyone. A squeaky noise came form Eloise's throat. They started muttering to each other. Kendra managed to catch some of their words. They made her stomach leap around in fear. She silently gupled.
"What does the girl look like again?"
"Curly brown hair, grayish eyes."
"But it is dark in here, how can we tell the color of her eyes? A few of these people have curly hair."
"Shoulder length, maybe a little longer. Wispy bangs."
Oh, no! That sounds like what I look like. Or Hermione, but she has brown eyes.
"This girl is a little bit on the thin side, but isn't super-skinny. She is of average height. Really, Goyle, you are so slow."
"But Lucius, won't he be mad if we harm his niece?"
"Oh, we won't harm the niece of Davus. At least, not if she obeys us."
Definitely me. I am so in danger, Kendra thought unhappily. I'm in big trouble now.
"Take the girl and her partner. I think her name is Cassandra or something like that. She is a Hufflepuff." Great. Both me and Eloise are in trouble.
The Death Eaters spread out. One grabbed Hermione and Susan. "Is this girl the one we need?" the Death Eater asked, shaking Hermione.
"I think so," another said.
