Wheee! Update time. Fun-ness. I'm on spring break this week, which means
everybody's stuck with me for a whole five days! Yaaay!!
Okey-dokers. Review junkers:
Jinnyah: First of all, how could I steal a character with the name of a wild cat? Hmmm? Hey, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: if your Lynx is 13, has shoulder length, naturally curly goldish blonde hair, red and green eyes, and wears really odd colored glasses. Lynx is ME. She is who I am, so therefore I could not have copied your character. And besides, I'd never read any of your fanfics before, so how would I know about your Lynx?
Winged Seraphin: If all of my OC's seem a bit too American, well, that's coz my gang and me ARE American. Look, the way they talk in the story, Lynx included, is how their real counterparts talk in real life. I can't deny real life. But, if Rowling's character's are seeming too American, I'm really sorry. I just don't know anything but American.
KT Ichijouji: Hehe. . . thankies! I knew you'd like it! I'll make a point to call her Cheamu Gible in this chapter. I've said something to her about it, and it's not Chea-freakin'-mu Gible. It's either Chea-freakin'-mu or Cheamu Gible. I dunno. Personally, I think she should be classified "Legally Insane!" Grrr. . . Stupid Cousin pisses me off, though. She's still in IHN in this fanfic, even if she now likes Nathan!
____________________________________________________________________________ _____________
If Pre-Algebra class with that annoying Yorkshire git, Mr. Green, back at home was a nightmare, than Double Potions was hell. The dungeon would've been nice, had there not been dismembered animal parts and eyeballs in jars. Egads! I'd take Mr. Green over :that: any day!
Katie and I made it a point to sit in the very back, at the table beside Kayso's and Hermione's, and directly behind Tora and Sid. In front of Kayso and Hermione were Kelso and Coyote, which got a few stares from several of the other students, along with a few "That Gryffindor's sitting with a Slytherin!"
The greatest laugh of all was, however, when Draco and Harry came in half a minute later than everyone else and were forced to share a table!
"That'll teach ya to be late, won't it, Draco," I whispered as Draco passed my table. He gave me one of his "Say it again and you're dead" looks. "Oooh. I'm terrified!"
The whole damn hour and a half passed like it was an eternity. I was more than happy to leave, although Potions did happen to be the one class I was looking forward to. Besides Care of Magical Creatures, of course!
We got lucky and had CMC (A/N: I'm allowed to abbreviate, ain't I?) with the Ravenclaws. Lexie had to keep "susshing" Cheamu and I had to smack and poke Hyena nonstop. When Hyena refused to shut-up, Draco shoved her forward, and she lost her balance. She fell facedown in the grass. It was all I could do to keep from busting out laughing. After that, she went and stood by Coyote for protection, which was fine with me, because that meant I didn't have to put up with her annoying laughing the entire time.
CMC wasn't all that great, considering it was the first day. I was bored to death by Divination, which wasn't going to help my mood any. Not at all. We had Divination with the Hufflepuffs.
Katie, Tora, Sid, Draco and me crowded around one of those ridiculous tables. The heat was killing me. I'm terrified of the heat, to tell the truth. I've passed out from heatstroke before. Not pleasant.
Stares from the Hufflepuffs followed us all the way across the room, some suspicious, others digusted, and a few quite confused. None of us liked it.
"It's Nathan," Sid said quietly once we were all seated. "I know it's Nathan. He told those Hufflepuffs something about you and Draco this morning at breakfast. Cheamu's right: Nathan's up to something, and I don't like it either." She looked nervously at some of the closer Hufflepuffs. It was a group of four girls, all with disgusted expressions, directed at me. Why was it always me? "I'd hate to think what it was he told them," Sid continued, turning back to face us. She shook her head. "With Nathan, we can only imagine."
"Yes, I know what you mean," I said, half to myself, half to the others. "We'll find out. One way or another, we'll find out." I looked maniacally at the nearby Hufflepuffs. "You," I said loudly, pointing at one of the girls, "come here."
She got up reluctantly and walked over slowly, looking back at her friends. "What do you want, Slytherin?" It was a cold tone.
"Nathan Record. What did he tell the Hufflepuffs this morning? I don't believe I've heard it yet," I said in the kindest voice I could manage, which was still dripping with hate and anger.
"I would think you would know," she answered accusingly. I shook my head. "Well, that's new," the Hufflepuff continued confusedly. She wrung her hands nervously, like she was trying to find the correct way to say something. "Uhm, you see, Record said that, uh, you and Draco. . ." she trailed off, obviously not wanting to say what she had intended on saying. "Oh, I can't bring myself to say it!" She looked distraught.
Katie's eyes grew wide. "Ohhhhh," she said. Everybody looked at her. "I thought that's what it was!" She had a strange grin on her face. The Hufflepuff just nodded.
Suddenly it hit me. "Ahh! I get it now!" My voice was almost cheerful, which is one of my odd ways of showing anger. "He's been goin' round sayin' Draco and me-"
"Yup," Katie cut me off.
"Ah," I said. I looked at the Hufflepuff. "Don't believe a word he says," I laughed. "He's out to start rumors. Just. . . don't spread what he says, got it?"
"You mean, it's not true?"
"Of course not! Look, I may be insane, but I'm not stupid!"
"Oh good. I was hoping something of that sort didn't happen here!" She smiled awkwardly and pratically bounced back to her table.
Sid, Tora, and Draco still didn't get it. "What was she talking about?" Tora asked.
"Believe me, you don't want to know," I answered. "You don't want to know."
****************************
By the time lunch came round, the rumor was cleared up among the fifth year Hufflepuffs. The gang and I barely made it through the doors to the Great Hall when Cheamu rushed us and ran head on into Katie. That didn't stop her, though. She was bouncing up and down and repeating "Guess what?" over and over. I put a hand on each of her shoulders and held her down to the ground.
"Cheamu Gible!" I yelled in her face. "Would you be so kind as to SHUT UP!!!"
"Uh huh!" Cheamu said loudly, nodding her head quickly. "But guess what?"
"What?" Katie asked sarcastically.
"I know what the rumor is! I know what it is!"
"Is she always like that?" Draco whispered. I just nodded.
Cheamu finally stopped bouncing around like a lunatic and took a deep breath. "Okay," she said, her voice borderline insanity and calm, "Nathan started the rumor that you two," she pointed at Draco and me, and her voice dropped to a whisper, "slept together!" That said, all control was tossed out the window and Cheamu was back to bouncing around like and idiot.
Draco looked like he had been hit by lightning. "So that's what you refused to tell me?"
"Yup," Katie yelled. "So, that's cleared up, I'm starved!"
"Heya! Ja ja!" I shouted back, mostly over Cheamu's hyperactive hollering.
"Wait a minute," Draco interrupted. "You mean to tell me that you're just going to ignore something like that? It doesn't even seem to bother you that much!"
"Exactly," I answered in a preppy tone, "it :doesn't: bother us. It's not true, so why worry about it? And since it :isn't: true, the rumor will blow over faster than it was started because there's no proof to back up Nathan's story, except what he says. Besides, we have friends in every single house. They'll help clear it up. You see, this is how it was back home. Nathan and the IHN gang starting rumors about each other, just to see who would get more pissed. Usually it was Nathan, 'cause more people hated him than us!"
"I will never understand Americans," Draco said confusedly, shaking his head. "Never."
Needless to say, the rest of the day got worse, as more people heard the rumor. The fifth year Hufflepuffs were the only ones who one might have called our "allies." But, it didn't matter. Everything was over by the next night, and our lives went back to normal, whatever :normal: is!

That sounds like the end of the story, but it's not. Far from it! Sorry it was so much shorter than usual. I'll try and make the next one longer! It'll be my gang's first to trip to Hogsmeade, I think. Ja! That's what I'll do! Heehee. . . I'm so organized! NOT!
