Cliché: Chapter 2
The First Day of This Insanity
The next morning a sleepy Katie Harrison crashed into Bethany Taylor halfway down the stairs. Katie fell backwards and ended up sprawled across five stairs just as Lee Jordan stepped out of the boys' dormitories.
"What's wrong with you?" Katie yelled. Lee gave her hi hand and helped her up.
"I just saw… I saw…" Bethany said out of breath, "I saw…"
"Just spit it out, girl!" Lee yelled.
"Ron and Hermione are making out in the common room!" Bethany collapsed into a ball and rolled down onto the common room floor. ("Go, Ron!" Lee reacted.) Katie shook her head sadly.
"It's too early in the morning to snog," she said.
"And Katie would know," Lee replied seriously. Just then Fred and George stepped up to the top of the staircase. They looked at looked at Katie who was falling asleep leaning onto to Lee. Then they looked at Bethany reposed on the floor.
"I'm going to guess that it's better just not to ask," said Fred.
"What do we have first?" Lee asked when they finally got down to breakfast the next morning. It had taken awhile since Katie fell asleep on the way downstairs, and George and Fred had to take turns carrying her down five stairs.
"Divination," said George, "Assuming Katie isn't taking arthimency this year."
"Nope," Katie shook her head, "I took seventh year arthimency last year. I can't take anymore."
"After that," Bethany continued, "We have potions with Slytherins. Then Herbology with Ravenclaw and Transfiguration."
Divination was boring except for when Trewlaney had to leave the room, and Lee and George had a mock wizard's duel in the front of the class. Potions was a bit more exciting.
"Do we know her?" asked George. He was referring to the mysterious, cloaked girl that had just skipped into the room.
"I don't think so," said Katie. Just then the girl pulled out a can of easy-squirt cheese. She shook it vigorously, sprayed it in Snape's face, and then ran out of the room. "No, I definitely don't know her."
"Unless Hermione has finally gone mad," George said.
"Who's Hermione?" Katie asked him.
"Bushy hair, reads too much…" Katie nodded. George sighed and shook his head.
"Smile and nod," Bethany whispered to Fred.
"Or point and laugh," Scarlet, a Slytherin who had a blatantly obvious crush on George, had just walked over. She looked over at Katie. "I thought you were expelled." Katie shook her head. "Drat."
Lunch was pretty boring, and the author (me) in all her 'author'ity decided not to write about it because she was wasting too much time on the first day anyway. Herbology and Transfiguration were about the same as any other day, which means it was remarkably boring. That night consisted of more snog sessions between Hermione and Ron, which I won't go into detail on.
A few months passed…
… Nothing exciting happened.
(Or maybe something did, but I just don't want to tell you about it
because I'm selfish and evil like that.)
Will Scarlet marry George? Will they ever figure who the mysterious girl was? Will Ron and Hermione ever stop making out? Find out… in the next chapter.
A/N: Was that too short? If it was then… too bad. Ha! Stay tuned for self-insertion, Cats, and even more craziness. Btw, if you are one of the few who read the first chapter the first time I posted it, I changed the Mary-Sue's surname to Riddle. Hmmm… original. She's coming in later whether you want her to or not. Review. Email me if you want updates. (minor_of_me@hotmail.com)
