Chapter Five – What Happened?
Katie's Diary
Okay, so it was an ordinary day this morning. I woke up, cooked myself fried chicken and noodles and dumped all my rumpled clothes in the wash. Zack came over for about ten minutes to give me my groceries, which he'd offered to collect for me that day, since my car was in for yearly inspection for the night to make sure it was still going all right. When Zack's car goes in for servicing, it's okay for him because he just borrows his parent's car. Wish I could do that…
I'd invited Tam and Grace a few days ago for a sleepover; it sometimes gets boring and lonely when you live by yourself, and it's the holidays! I have a whole house with only one person in it. What's the fun in that? Most teens faint from happiness when their parents go away for the weekend, leaving them in the house. They chuck a major party, drugs, liquor everywhere…not in my house though…I'm not cleaning up after something like that. So many people say I'm lucky in a way. 'The house to yourself all the time, no one telling you what to do, you make your own rules and you live by them! That's so kewl Katie!' Or they bitch about how mean and evil their parents are always to them…
Blehhh…well they don't know the half of it. They should be glad their parents are still alive.
I'd tidied up the house a bit before they were due to come over. The house always gets a bit messy…I'm always tired when I come home from work, or school, or wherever I've been. In the shopping there'd been chips and chocolate and drinks, and we planned to order a pizza or two and garlic bread later on that night. We didn't exactly plan for this to happen…
Grace arrived at about lunchtime, after her Drums lesson (We're in a band) and Tam was due to come at around 1-1:30pm after her mum got home from work to look after her adorable little sister Taylah, so Grace and I just sat around, listening to some songs download onto my computer, reading Harry Potter and figuring out what videos to hire out for the night. Now I swear, here came the weird part. Anyone who reads my diary probably won't believe it, but screw them. It happened, so if they don't believe it, that's their problem. So Grace was reading Harry Potter, and I was studying my Latin, when all of a sudden, flames appeared on my beloved copies of Harry Potter!
It turned out, that as I'd said Biforis, Latin for Two doors/openings, Grace had said Alohomora, which, of course means open or unlock. I hadn't noticed her, and I continued my studies, saying Regnum, which means Realms…Biforis, Alohomora, Regnum, or, two doors, unlock, realms…
The fire engulfed my Harry Potter books, and before Tam arrived they started to form the shape of a pentacle, which was just the position my books were chucked around in my room at that moment. I have a habit of pushing piles on the burn marks on my floor, which is also in the shape of a pentacle…I kinda had a small accident with fire about a year ago which caused that…oh well.
Blackness engulfed us, and all I remember is feeling bags and jackets in our laps, and my hands clutching the stones that I always keep in my pockets…and the next thing we knew we were in the middle of the Ravenclaw Quidditch stands at Hogwarts! And right in front of my…guarding the goals so Slytherin couldn't score…was Oliver Wood himself…he's soooo dreamy…so sweet…he's already my friend. I can't believe what's happened! After the game Percy found us (He's just as annoying in real life as he is in the books) and he took us to see Dumbledore who's letting us stay here! At least until we figure out how to get back…
We got sorted into different houses at dinnertime…and this is when I first met Oliver…as I stood in front of the whole school…all eyes watching Grace, Tam and I with bored…interested or scoffing expressions…to avoid their stares I set to look for Oliver, hoping he was there…because who knew? In the forth book he had left, so he might've graduated already…but to my delight there he was, sitting between Percy and…either Fred or George…I guess if Percy was still there then of course Oliver would be too. As I looked at Oliver, I realised he had already been watching me…as he caught my eye he smiled and winked, waving slightly. I think I blushed…hell, I blush when I have to collect something in front of the whole school back home…I smiled and waved back, hoping it wasn't like, a dream or something, and Oliver was actually there, winking at me.
Tam got sorted into Slytherin, Grace got sorted into Ravenclaw, and I got sorted into Gryffindor…we all got our favourite houses! And I got to sit next to Oliver…he talked to me throughout dinner, asking where us three had come from and just normal stuff. When he heard that my parents are dead he actually rested his arm around my shoulders and half hugged me. He's even better then I imagined for him to be…he'd very obsessed with Quidditch though…
I'll write a bit later, after more stuff's happened. At the moment I'm in my dorm, the curtains drawn around my bed. I can't remember the names of the girls I'm with…they weren't in the books that I can remember…I'll probably write in a few days, Hogwarts hosting the first International Schools Quidditch Championships. Oliver's so excited; he hopes to be on the school team. I'm sure he will be. He's offered to show me around a bit, and he'll help me in the classes, since I'm going straight to a six years class, as well is Tam. Since we just joined, we have to stay with our year level, to follow the school rules. It's going to be so hard, but I bet it'll be fun.
I'd better get to sleep, I'm meeting Oliver in the Gryffindor common room before breakfast tomorrow, and I don't want to look terrible.
I think I'm really going to like it here…
Tamara's Diary
I woke up this morning like usual, with my duck pyjamas. They are so cute! But anyway, I had to look after my sister for a while when my mum went out, but I was dying to go to Katie's. When she finally got home after my little sis had demolished the place, I got mum to drop me off. But at the door whoa, it was so weird. There was this bright shiny light. A portal I was told. Silly me!
Then of course in a moment of blind panic I asked the number for triple zero, intelligent huh?
After grabbing a few things we ended up going through the portal to Hogwarts! It was so cool; we ended up at a Quidditch match and Draco was there! How dreamy is he!
To make a long story short, Percy found us, took us to Dumbledore and we got sorted. And guess what! I was sorted into Slytherin! And I met Draco! And sat next to him! Everything is so like wow.
Draco's on the Quidditch team and they are holding inter-school Quidditch championships or something. I'm going to be his little cheerleader whether he likes it or not.
Anyway on to other stuff, my dorm's cool, my bed's comfy and Draco's so cute.
Weird I seem obsessed. Nah, I'm not obsessed. But I best go; Draco's going to help me with some potions catch up.
