~*Leaving Spirit*~
A/N: I'm in a rather good mood today with no writer blocks ^_~ Oh joy! Oh and isn't spaz the coolest word in the world? ^__^
That night once everyone had left the common room, I grabbed the stone book. I took it to the fire. Everybody watched as we placed it in the moonlight. The book began to glow and the scribbles arranged themselves. It said a simple word. Dutch. We were all confused.
"Dutch is a language," I said, confused. "Oh! I was learning Dutch before! Hold on! Let me get my book!"
When I ran back, everybody was around the book, frowning.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing, just trying to figure this out!" Andy cried in frustration. I laughed. It was confusing, but we just had to keep out hopes up. We were thinking or a long time when Ryan sat up straight.
"Whats witch in Dutch?" he asked.
"I-I don't know…" I stammered.
"Tell me!" he said, quite forcefully.
"Okay, okay!" I said flipping the pages in my Dutch book. "Don't spaz out or anything. There are a couple… kol, tovenares, toverheks, and heks." All of a sudden a bright light filled the room and the book completely changed. Blinking, temporarily blinded, I looked around. Finally my eyes grew adjusted.
"Wow…" Andy moaned.
"My eyes! They're burning!" Ryan yelled, spazzing out.
"Oww…" Carolyn groaned.
"Look!" I cried. All their head turned toward the book. A crescent moon shape. I walked up, and pressed my necklace against it, which was glowing a bright steady color of violet-blue. I leapt back, startled. My eyes were burning from the light. When the light finally subsided, we were all groaning. I heard bits on conversation.
"Oww!"
"Not again!"
"Ah! I'll be blind like this someday!"
I gasped. The book! It changed… It was a regular book. I stared at it curiously. Its title was, A Book for Mischievous Students by, the greatest troublemakers in Hogwarts.
"COOL!" Ryan and Andy gasped. They peered inside and laughed. "One of a kind! It's all handwritten by the most mischievous students in Hogwarts history! Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, Blinky ((A/N: NOT A MONKEY!! Hehe…)) They are all nicknames… Weird…"
"Let's sleep tonight!" I said. "I'm really tired." Everyone nodded and trudged up to their beds, my new book tucked under my arm.
The next morning, I woke up really late. I trudged downstairs, rubbing my eyes and yawning. A lot of people were up already. Most of them in their robes. I ran back up, changed and ran back down. Everyone was gathered in this one place. I walked over to see what the noise was about. It was Harry! He was chosen to be the new Seeker! I puzzled over this. Why, of all the people in Griffindor Tower, it was him who got chosen. It made me a little angry, but I couldn't help to join in the festivities. That's when I noticed Ryan was a bit of a bully. It annoyed me. But I liked him so much… Was there something else behind him? I stopped partying and rushed upstairs. I opened a library book of Hermione's and flipped page over page. It read, "Few witches and wizards are haunted by something. It can be anything. The spirit of a lost loved one, or a hated one back for revenge. Very few though are possessed. The possession makes the witch or wizard unusually mean or unusually crazy or lusting a certain person~"
"So that's why!" I cried out. I kept reading though.
"Usually the spirit is there for a reason, unknown to many people. The only way to get rid of the spirit is to grab its attention while its still controlling the body and accept it willingly, and it will disappear. It will not go inside you~"
I stopped reading, and rushed down stairs. Ryan was still bullying some people. I frowned. How would I get his attention?
"Ryan!" I yelled. I willed to take the spirit… It would go away… I sank into oblivion. I didn't know what was going on… I had no idea… I felt unbelievably tired as I sank downwards… I was sleeping… How wonderful… and so dreamless… I woke up with a few curious heads poking out at me. Actually it was the entire Griffindor common room. Everyone except Ryan. I stood up and looked for him. He found me first. He ran up, gave me a bone-crushing hug shouting, "You did it! You did it! THANK YOU!"
I waited until he dropped me. "How?" he asked. I told him everything. How I found out he was possessed by some kind of evil spirit, and how I got rid of it. He nodded, listening to every word.
By the time we were done, it was time to serve our detentions. Andy waved at our retreating backs as we went to Snape.
"All of you will clean the cauldrons. No magic. Go!" he said angrily. Shooting him a rather look, we put on some magical gloves (Said to be spell and potion repellent). We took magical sponges (They had self-making suds, and were resistant to potions.) and stared at the cauldron pile with an open mouth. No wonder we had to come directly after dinner. There must have been a thousand! Sighing, we took a cauldron each and scrubbed. The sponges and gloves amazed me. The way they worked was so wonderful! The sponges produced suds right when I pressed them on the cauldron. I began to hum, when Carolyn elbowed me.
"You're enjoying this?!" she asked, surprised.
"Well, I think it's interesting," I said blankly.
Ryan shook his head. "I don't think so. Look, some kind of burning potion got on my elbow. It stings." But, with a flick of his wand, it was healed. I rolled me eyes.
"Show-off," I replied. He smiled, and got back to work. I scrubbed harder, and went to rinse it out. At this rate of course, cleaning one took 5 minutes. We were finally done at 10 o' clock. Yawning and blowing on cold fingers, we trudged upstairs. Peeves got in our way,
"STUDENTS!" he bellowed. "STUDENTS BY THE ROW OF ARMOR!" Looking at each other briefly we ran.
"Why does Peeves always find us?" I wondered as I ran. We skidded to a halt at the picture of the fat lady.
"Password?" she asked.
"Uh… Jelly Legs!" Carolyn said. The picture opened up and we rushed outside. I ran up to the dormitory pulled on my nightshirt crawled into bed and fell asleep.
