Anna, Becca, Ariana and the Prisoner of Azkaban
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Anna: By the way, in case I haven't mentioned it before, the character Ariana as also me good friend starzinluv. You should go visit her stories. She is making me type this while threatening me with extreme fluff. If I don't recommend her to all my readers, she will put me in a fluff scene with Ron Weasley!
Ariana: Muahahahaahahaha! I love George! And wouldn't Anna and Ron make such a cuuute couple??? Awww. . .
Anna: AAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! * runs away to hide, clawing at her eyes *
Ariana: . . .and I am helping Anna write, like, ALL of her stories so if you like them, maybe you will like mine! And maybe you will like reviewing mine! So please do. . .
Anna: Liar!!! Oh well, back to the story . . .
Ariana: Technically, we are co-writing this story together. I deserve credit! I am the one typing, dammit!
Anna: * hits Ariana over the head with the keyboard to shut her up * * zooms the camera in on the story *

Chapter 2 - Laughing Is Disturbing
* what happened last chapter *
Just then, the train lurched to a halt.
"Damn it," said Anna out loud.
The sound of clattering baggage told them that all their bags had fallen out of the racks. Then, without warning, all the lamps went out and they were plunged into total darkness.
"What's going on?" said Ron's voice from behind Harry.
"Ouch!" gasped Hermione. "Ron, that was my foot!"
"Here come the dementors!" Anna shouted gleefully.
"The what???" chorused the group.
"Anna, shut up and stop giving away the plot!" Ariana took a swing at Anna who ducked out of the way and jumped to a secluded corner.
"Um, I don't like the dark very much. . ." Becca nervously admitted. "Where is everyone!?!" She started wandering around the compartment searching for any sign of life. She clumsily ran right into Harry who fell into Hermione, who fell into Ron, who fell into Ariana, who fell into Lupin, waking him up.
Their eyes were adjusting to the darkness and they could just barely make out the jumble of bodies strewn across the floor and Anna rocking back and forth in her seat with silent laughter. Ron muttered a vehement exclamation. They all tried to untangle themselves from the others.
"Shit!!!" Becca's shoe got stuck in Harry's robes and she fell back on top of him. Luckily, it was too dark for her to see how red his face had gotten. [A/N: What the hell are you doing, Ariana!!?? Give me back that keyboard, %#$&!!!!!]
The door slid open and the two intruders stumbled over the human pretzel on the floor.
"What the. . . what's going on in here?" exclaimed Neville.
Ginny was heard whimpering in the background.
A cackle of amusement could be heard from Anna's corner of the compartment.
The door slid open again. One of the struggling students on the floor managed to light their wand. This illuminated the tall, hooded figure in the doorway. The top of it's hood brushed the ceiling and it drew in a long, rattling breath. An intense cold swept over the room, affecting everyone but. . .
. . .Anna, who was now laughing extremely loud. Everyone turned to look at her with horrified expressions. Ariana and Becca already knew Anna was twisted and mentally unstable, but they never expected this from her. Apparently, neither did anyone else in this particular compartment.
"Anna, shut the hell up!" Ariana screamed up at Anna. There was a scuffling noise and the sound of someone tripping clumsily. Anna was on the ground and Becca's hand was clamped over her mouth. Anna gave a muffled cry of protest from behind Becca's hand.
Lupin managed to stand up. He pulled out his wand and brandished it like toward the dementor. "Expecto patronum!" A stream of silvery-white light shot out of his wand at the dementor. It turned around and soundlessly glided away.
Soon after, the lights came back on and the train started to move again. Everyone stood up to find his or her proper seats. Anna managed to wrangle herself away from Becca's grip and ran out of the compartment.
Becca tried to get up to chase after her, but she couldn't move. "Harry, not that I mind, but could you please get off of me?"
He didn't move. She looked closer at him and gave a yelp of surprise. He was out cold. She started struggling.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with her?" Ron nodded toward the door that Anna had just escaped through.
"I have absolutely no idea," Ariana replied.
They then finally noticed Becca's trouble with Harry. After several people helped her out from under his unconscious form, Hermione started slapping Harry to get him to wake up.
*
Anna, Becca, and Ariana had never seen so many witches and wizards before. Come to think of it, they hadn't EVER seen any witches and wizards before! They couldn't wait to get acquainted with the school. Anna (Ariana and Becca had found her twenty minutes later in the entrance hall still acting like she was on sugar-high) was especially looking forward to care of magical creatures with Hagrid.
The girls were sitting at the Gryffindor table with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. (McGonagall had pre-sorted them in her office). When Anna had tried to sit next to Becca, she had quickly put Harry between them. Ariana was sitting on Becca's other side next to Hermione. Hermione was explaining the different classes to Ariana. Becca was listening attentively while Harry told her about Quidditch. Anna was prodding her food with a fork, looking very bored.
The Weasley twins appeared and sat next to Ron who was across from Harry. Fred sat next to Ron and George sat next to Fred and across from Ariana. Her conversation with Hermione immediately halted as she turned to gaze at George.
"Ron," Fred inquired. "Who are your lovely new friends?" Anna shuddered inwardly.
Ron introduced Anna, Becca, and Ariana to Fred and George. George was captivated by Ariana and couldn't take his eyes off her. His ears glowed bright red.
"Girls," Ron said. "This is Fred and-"
"-George," Ariana cut him off.
"Hey, that's right! How did you know?" Ron asked Ariana.
She didn't answer, she just kept gazing into George's eyes.
They started talking and quickly hit it off. George was amazed that Ariana was sweet, smart, pretty, and funny, and STILL loved mischief! [Ariana: No, I am not a Mary-Sue, I just try to be all these things. Well, I can't really help my looks very much, but my friends say I'm pretty and my eyes are great. I like my eyes :-) . . .] She was very interested in his pranks and wanted to hear all his stories.
Ron was a bit upset because Harry was totally engrossed with Becca. They were having such a great time talking with each other and he hated being left out. Anna was silently puking. All the fluffiness around her was just too much.
*
After dinner, George pulled Ariana aside while the Gryffindors were on their way to the common room. They waited until the others were around the corner before he pulled her into an empty classroom.
"There's something I want to show you. Fred and I use it all the time when we need to avoid someone or find a secret passage."
He pulled out a very old-looking piece of parchment.
"Ooh! Can I start it up?" Before George answered, Ariana tapped the parchment with her wand and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." The Marauders' Map came into focus. George gave her a very confused look. She just smiled back at him. He didn't bother asking, she already seemed to know more than meets the eye.
They could see two little dots labeled "Harry" and "Becca" moving towards them on the map. They waited until Harry and Becca were right outside the classroom, Ariana opened the door and pulled Becca in. George grabbed a now very confused Harry.
Becca looked around the classroom, then at Ariana and George.
"So what were you two doing in here- alone?" Becca gave them a devilish grin.
Ariana elbowed Becca in the arm. "What the hell, George was just showing me the Marauders Map!"
"OOOHHH, lemme see!!!" Ariana showed Becca the map and Becca watched with delight as a little dot named "Anna" passed their hiding place.
"George, this is great! We can use this to prank everyone in the school!" Becca looked like her birthday had come early.
"Actually, I was thinking about Anna. She really deserves payback for that very, um, odd display on the train. George, what's the fastest shortcut back to Gryffindor tower? We need to get there before Anna. Becca, you keep an eye on Anna and anyone else who might try to stop us on the map. Harry, if we do manage to run into anyone, especially Hermione back at the common room, you need to distract them."
George led the way through several passages and they made it to the Gryffindor common room before anyone else.
"Tai-kwon leap!" The portrait opened and they stepped inside.
Ariana led the way up to the third year girls' dorm. Harry seemed slightly nervous to be going up the girls' stairs, but George had no inhibitions when pranks were involved. They found the dorm and Becca recognized Anna's Mashimaro doll sitting on one of the beds. Ariana looked in Anna's wardrobe and found all of Anna's school robes neatly hung up inside.
"I talked to Hermione about Transfiguration at the beginning of dinner and I learned some very interesting things. Sintiverto Barney-Clomus. . ."

A/N: Anna: * cringes * I know what they're doing to my stuff!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Anna: Grrrrr I can't believe I'm letting you do this . . .
Ariana: That's what the prank war is all about! *sigh* George showed me the Marauders Map! He must really like me!!!
Anna: . . .
