More Surprizes
"Well Jason your absolutely right we're going to learn to fly. If you'll just follow me please we will begin.
The group followed Lupin to the Qiddich Pitch. Leaning on one wall was a group of broomsticks. "Since flying is one of your courses, and since second years are aloud their own broomstick we thought that you shouldn't be the only ones. So these are yours. You can keep them even when you leave. So this is your treat."
The group didn't know what to say to this. With very mixed emotion about flying and the gifts of a broomstick. Niumbes 2000 was written on the side of the handle.
"Cool! This is the broomstick that Harry started with. " Squedled Amy
Matt raised and eye brow.
Savanna was positively glowing
Jason was trying to figure out how to grip the handle of it.
Trel was trying to determine if she fell off would it kill her or would she just break something.
Niki looked like someone just handed her a poisonous snake
"Well if everyone will say 'up' and mount their brooms we'll get started." Lupin instructed the six.
To everyone surprise the brooms jumped right into their hands at the word 'up'. Mounting the brooms they all took off heading to the skies with Lupin shouting instructions from the ground. The afternoon wore on. Everyone was having the time of their lives, then Savanna and Jason came to close together causing Savanna to start fall towards the ground. Lupin was yelling for her to pull up. Matt saw what happen and chased Savanna to the ground beating her there. Then he flew under her , putting the nose of his broom under the nose of Savannas and pulling her out of the fall.
Everyone landed to make sure that the two of them were ok. After checking them over and finding them ok, the group was about to take back off when, Professor McGonagall came walking over to the Group.
"May I have a word with that young man please?" She asked.
Matt looked to see if she was talking about Jason before he looked at Lupin. Lupin just nodded and Matt walked away with the new teacher.
"I wonder what McGonagall wants with him." ponder Amy
"Yah it's not like we did any thing wrong." said Savanna
"Girls! we're not even in school yet." replied Jason
"Well it is getting late we should be heading home for supper." stated Lupin , watching Matt come back across the yard.
As they all headed home Matt was unusually quite even for him. Just as they we're rounding the first corner an owl swept over their heads and dropped a letter off in Lupin's hands. He open the letter and read it quickly. The group stopped , looking at him and waited to see what he was going to do.
"Um children please return to the house I must ..... go to a meeting. I'll be back in a while." Stated Lupin who's face had lost much of it colour.
"Okay, we know the way" said Matt tuning to continue to walk back. Lupin didn't even pause as he walked quickly in the other direction.
"So what did McGonagall want with you earlier."Asked Amy curiosity
"Oh that. She wants me to be the keeper of a Quiddich, for the Gryffindor Captain." said Matt
Jason came up behind Matt and laid his hand on his shoulder , shaking his head as he shook with laughter. "I think what you mean is that she wants you to be the new captain of the Gryffindor Quiddich team, in the position of Keeper."
"Huh. This is a sport of some kind?" asked Matt in amazement.
"Yah that's where we were , the Quddich patch. The hoops were part of it." Said Amy.
"You didn't say yes. Did you?" asked Niki, speechless
"Yah I thought I would be guarding something, for someone. So of course I said yes." sated Matt
"Well we could always ask Lupin to pick up Quddich throughout the Ages for Matt." suggested Savanna
"Hey do you guys remember how much time those practices took on top of homework." interjected Jason.
"It's not like we have to pass these courses. We're not coming back next year." remind Trel, thinking something totally different.
"Hey is it just me or is it getting colder around here?" Asked Niki rubbing her shoulder
"Well walk faster we're only a couple of blocks away." said Trel now feeling goose bumps on her arms from the sudden cold that had come up.
As the group started walking briskly back to house an uncomfortable silence fell. A mist rolled in from seemingly nowhere.
"Well, well look at what they left alone." came a voice out of the gloom.
Trel pulled out her wand since she was the only one to bring it. "Lumos" she yelled bringing light to the end of her wand.
The light that was emitted was just enough to illuminate the demonic face of Marilyn Manson, who was standing there before them.
"And he use to be so cute as the youngest son on the Brady Bunch" said Jason as he looked at the figure that had been hiding in the dark.
Manson smiled at the joke , showing the two enlarged eye teeth. "I played that role before I knew I was a wizard" he said evilly.
"Oh so that's how you get people to listen to your music , you bewitch them" laughed Amy.
"I'd be careful little witchling , especially since you are un armed." At this the group realized how vulnerable they were at this time. "For 'exchange students' you sure have a lot to learn about the wizarding world." Manson pointed out.
"Well I'm not 'impedimenta'" shouted Trel , freezing Manson in his tracks.
"How'd you learn how to do that" asked Amy
"No time , just run" shouted Matt to the group.
The group ran out of the mist and the last two blocks to the place they had called home , coming face to face with Dumbledore , Sirius and Lupin outside.
"Where have you been , I sent you home over an hour ago" stated Lupin.
Huffing and puffing Jason replies "Big ... scary ... Manson"
Savanna , slapping Jason "Knock it off "
Matt , taking over. "We ran into Manson about two blocks back , but for that to have been an hour it only felt like ten minutes ago"
