Sorry it's taken so long for me to update, I have writer's block. Anywho, woo hoo! June 21 is the official release date, people! Yay! Maybe Serenity and I will make an appearance in Order of the Phoenix…maybe, you never know…

CHAPTER 5
A TIME FOR LAUGHTER
Megan sat down in her spot at the Gryffindor table for dinner, receiving a reproachful look from her friend, Serenity. 'Hmm……wonder what's bothering her? Maybe one of her hoodie strings is longer than the other.' Megan decided that must be it, and went about filling up her plate with a various assortment of bread.
"Have some bread?" Ron asked sarcastically.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Serenity asked. "You didn't come to lunch or our classes all day!"
"OH, YEAH, THAT! Well, I found these books in Ginny's trunk about Harry, and it was so weird! There were four of them, and they were written by, er…..what's her name. OH! J.K. Rowling, and they describe Harry's first four years at Hogwarts. So, I thought, what better way to get to know everyone than that? They were quite thick books, so I just now finished."
"BOOKS? ABOUT ME?!!!"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Harry, really, I told you first year on the train--"
"That you had read several books that he was in?"
"How did you know that?"
"I told you, I know EVERYTHING that's happened between you guys, now. I read the books. There's four of them: 'Philosopher's Stone,' which I heard was called 'Sorcerer's Stone' in the U.S., 'Chamber of Secrets,' 'Prisoner of Azkaban,' and the last, and best, in my opinion, was called, 'Goblet of Fire.' Oh! Look at me, I'm rambling, aren't I? But they were really good books, I'm surprised you didn't know about them, Harry! Actually, the best part was after the Yule Ball when Harry found that little Krum figurine all torn up under Ron's bed and--"
Ron grabbed her arm to stop her and she looked at him innocently. Trying to take the attention off himself, he suddenly yelled, "SHE WEIGHS THE SAME AS A DUCK!"
Everyone: ?………………………………............................
Ron: "Erm…what I meant was, er, if she weighs the same as a duck, logically she must be a witch. BURN 'ER!"
Everyone: blink…blink.
Hermione: "Don't be silly, Ron. Of course she's a witch, why else would she be here?"
Megan pulled her hand away. "How many times do I have to tell you guys? I AM A MITCH, Not--a--witch." She said the last three words very slowly, as if Ron had the IQ of a red robin, or in this matter, a freshmen cheerleader.
Harry, always the HERO OF UNDERWEAR, brought the focus back to the books. "Where did you find these?"
"In Ginny's trunk," Megan said point blank.
Ginny, who had just sat down, gave a small "Eep!" and jumped up from the table, scurrying out of the Great Hall, dragon-boy in tow. "Now, wait a second, according to the books, she's supposed to like Harry, not Draco. Oops, wait, I'm supposed to call him Malfoy."
"What?"
"Um…nothing, Harry. Have you seen Wood?"
Serenity snorted. Everyone looked at her, and she held her hand over her face, trying to resist the urge to laugh out loud. "Yeah, Harry. HAVE you seen WOOD?"
Megan ignored Serenity and went about searching for her, um…friend.
"Well, I wanted to ask him something about practice, so I was wondering if you guys had seen him."
"What practice?" said Harry with a quizzical look on his face.
Megan: ……………………… "The only practice there is here."
Harry: "Er…" Harry still wasn't catching on.
"Quidditch" Megan prompted, "You know---the only sport that there is here."
Ron: "WHAT? I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THE NEW KEEPER?!!!"
Megan turned toward Ron and said, "I just er---TALKED to Oliver, and he said that I could be the new Keeper. And chill out with the CAPS, it's giving me a headache!"
"Yeah, right, you talked…" Hermione rolled her eyes impatiently and went back to her calculations of the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow, which, obviously, was the key to the universe, and when she deciphered these ancient words of Yoko Ono, she would take over the world. That is, unless Britney Spears got there first (Damn Britney Spears! It's mind control, mind control, I tell you!).
"We were just talking! I swear! Who do you think I am? Courtney Dever? Sheesh!" Megan rolled her eyes.
Hermione glared and rolled her eyes again.
Megan rolled her eyes.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
Megan rolled her eyes.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
Megan rolled her eyes.
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP?!!!"
Everyone turned in shock at Neville's little outburst.
Megan sniffled a little.
"Sorry, guys, but I'm trying to memorize my lines for the next movie, and it's kinda hard with all the eye rolling going on!"
Megan and Hermione both mumbled, "Sorry, Neville," and then went back to what they had been doing: Hermione translating ancient crap and Megan eating quietly and trying not to laugh at the SuperBowl commercial involving boundless zebras, monkeys, and jackasses (what's the plural of jackass? Jackii? Hm…) that Serenity was talking about. She was afraid if she laughed, it would disrupt Mr. Dufford's class next door, who were all diligently voting for Serenity as "Biggest Spaz" and Megan for "Most Obsessive."
Megan couldn't hold it in anymore. She sniggered loudly into her pumpkin juice.
"So, if these books are about our first four years at Hogwarts and you--"
Megan tried desperately to ignore Harry while laughing uncontrollably at Serenity.
"--have read all of them today, then you probably know what happened when--"
Serenity had now finished and was eyeing Harry suspiciously.
"--the trophy was actually a portkey, so you can back me up about Voldemort really returning, and--"
Serenity glanced at Megan who was slowly shredding her napkin into tiny bits. "Should I?" she mouthed to Megan.
Megan, however, was shite at reading lips, and mouthed back, "Huh?"
Serenity sighed and wrote on the back of her notebook, "Should I?" and held it up for Megan to see.
Megan nodded vigorously and jerked her head in Harry's direction before rolling her eyes.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
Megan rolled--
WE'RE NOT STARTING THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem*
Harry was still blabbing on about the books. "And if you know about Rita Skeeter, because wouldn't it tell in the books that she was being untruthful, then obviously--"
"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Serenity suddenly shrieked at Harry.
"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Megan joined in.
"NO!" Harry shrank back in his seat. "NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!"
"Now," Serenity said, standing up, towering over the cowering (heehee, that rhymed) Harry, "Stop talking about the darned books or we shall have to taunt you a second time!"
Harry: meep…"I was just wondering…"
Serenity: "Give it up about the books, already."
Megan: "Yeah, Harry. Geez, maybe you should be on the ballot for Most Obsessive."
Serenity: "OR Biggest Spaz!"
Megan: "OR Prettiest Eyes! Like a fresh-pickled toad!!! Heeheeeheeeeeeeeee!"
Serenity: "OR BEST HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both Megan and Serenity fall off their chairs and roll around on the ground, laughing insanely.
"Are you two quite finished?" Hermione asked with her nose in the air.
"No! I know! HERMIONE SHOULD WIN BEST HAIR!!!!!!!" Megan shouted before she and Serenity collapsed on the ground laughing some more.
"NO!" Serenity continued, "Harry, Hermione, AND Ron should tie for Best Hair!"
Megan and Serenity: *beaucoup laughter*
Suddenly the Great Hall went extremely quiet except for Megan and Serenity's laughter which echoed off the walls and bounded back to them. Noticing the silence, the two sat back down at their seats and glanced around the room, only slightly embarrassed at several heads turned to see who was making so much noise.
Professor Dumbledore had stood up at the head table and clinked his spoon against his glass with a very solemn look on his face.
"Something's wrong," Serenity whispered quickly.
"Oh no, I hope it's not Oliver…" Megan whispered back, searching the room frantically for the Quidditch coach.
"Or Bill!" Serenity gasped.
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
"Students," Dumbledore began, "I have some very bad news…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lol, how evil of me. Not really, but I felt like the story should have some sort of plot. So, something bad happened! But now it's up to Nin to figure out what that bad thing was. Or she could write a chapter about Harry's underwear, whichever one works for her! Sorry…it's a snow day, so you can forgive me.
Toodles, everyone!
