Chapter 3

As Tsunami entered the Great Hall at lunch, she wandered to the Gryffindor table to find Fred and George pouring over a very large stack of papers.

"What in God's name is all this?" she asked, munching on a biscuit she'd grabbed from one of the plates further up the table. The twins, startled, turned and looked at her, worry and strain on their boyish faces.

"Oh Tsunami!" Fred exclaimed. "We're in such a mess."

"Lee ate something awful and is in the Infirmary, but even with him we've got a problem, and now there's only the two of us and-" George rambled, until Tsunami interrupted.

"Woah, woah, woah! Hold on!" Tsunami held up her hands. "What on earth are you talking about?" Fred and George stared at her.

"You mean we've never mentioned it?" Fred asked.

"Mentioned what?" Tsunami questioned warily, raising an eyebrow. Fred and George looked at each other, and then George grabbed one of the papers from one of the huge stacks and handed it to Tsunami.

"Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Order Form?" she read. "What is the Weasleys Wizard Wheezes?"

"It's our practical joke line!" said Fred proudly. Tsunami looked at them through half-lidded eyes.

"You mean it's your attempted practical joke line." she corrected. Fred and George looked guiltily from her to the stack of order forms and back.

"Well, it is just us and Lee . . . "George muttered feebly. Tsunami sighed.

"Fred, what were the four classes I told you I didn't suck in?" she asked.

"Uh . . . let's see." Fred said. "Quidditch Class . . . Dueling Magic . . . Charms in Levitation? . . . no, you failed that one . . . Everyday Potions . . . nope, failed that one too . . . George? A little help?"

"There was Memory Erasing and Restoration that you didn't fail . . . Home Ec.?. . . nope, failed that . . . Defense Against the Dark Arts . . . failed . . . and I forget what the last one was." George admitted. "I remember it had something to do with numbers." Tsunami pulled up a chair and plopped herself down in between the two twins.

"It was Muggle Accounting. All the other stuff I failed out of. Thankfully, you only needed to pass 4 out of 8 classes to graduate." Tsunami shrugged. "If Kat hadn't suggested I take Muggle Accounting, I would've failed 6th year." Fred and George winced. "Ya." Tsunami agreed, as if they'd said something with their movements.

"So . . . why is this relevant to our problem?" George asked.

"Because." Tsunami told them, drawing one of the stacks of papers. "If you guys are gonna manage this gig, you're gonna need an accountant. And thankfully, I'm just the girl for the job!"

--- ~* ~*

By the time lunch had ended, Tsunami had finished sorting through half the order forms and made tallies of how much of each thing everyone wanted. Fred and George were staring at her with a mixture of horror, amazement and wonder while she rambled off numbers like a calculator.

"So you see," she babbled, just as she'd been doing for the past half-hour. "Randal Figgin wants four dozen of the Canary Cremes, two dozen of the Ton-Tongue Toffees, nice name by the way, two dozen of the Dissolving Underwear, don't know how you thought of that, and three dozen of the MadCrackers. It takes about two sickles approximately to make a dozen of each . . ." Tsunami paused to type in numbers on a weird, square muggle device she'd gotten from her class. "So you end up with about . . . 1 Galleon, two Sickles profit." she finished proudly, lifting her head and smiling at the twins. Fred and George stared.

"How did you-?" Fred questioned.

"What did you--?" George asked. The twins looked at each other.

"I she scaring you? She's scaring me." Fred stated. George nodded consent.

"Ya, ya. Har de har, har." Tsunami said in mock laughter, packing up the forms. "I can finish the rest of this at Hogsmeade. Ready to go?" she asked.

"Yup. But remember, we have to be back by 2:30 for Flitwick's class. We're studying for the charms test today, and we don't want to miss taking notes." George reminded them.

"Right." Fred agreed, pulling Lee's map out of his robes. "Lee gave me the map since he's sick. You both got everything?"

"I think so." Tsunami patted her robe pockets. "Oh no! I forgot my money in the room!" she exclaimed.

"Aww. Tsunami." Fred wined.

"I know, I know. I suck at remembering things." Tsunami's bow furrowed in concentration. "What exit?" she asked.

"The statue of the crone." George told her. "Why?"

"Look, you two start heading there, and I'll go back to my dorm and get my money, and I'll meet you there." Tsunami told them. The twins nodded.

"Alright. Make it snappy." Fred reminded her, as Tsunami sped off.

"I will!" Tsunami called over her shoulder.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami riffled in her bag for the key to her room, then, once found, she drew it out and hurriedly fit it in the lock. She swung the door open hurriedly, almost hitting Mondo in the face.

"Woah! Watch it!" he shouted, as she ran past him into the room, her dark red hair flying behind her.

"Ya, ya. Whatever." Tsunami disregarded. "Look, have you seen my money bag?"

"Ya. You left it on the kitchen counter." Mondo answered, puzzled. "Why do you want it?"

"Thanks." Tsunami told him, spotting her moneybag on the far side of the counter. "Gotta go! See ya!" And off she went, out the door, as fast as she'd come. Mondo watched her go.

'Hm . . . I bet she's sneaking out of school again.' he thought. He ran quickly to his room and grabbed his robes. He threw them on over his jeans and red t-shirt, grabbed his moneybag, and ran out the door. "Hey! Tsunami! Wait up!" he called. Tsunami looked over her shoulder at him, but continued to walk.

"What?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

"I'm coming with you!" he told her, struggling to catch up with her. Tsunami screeched to a halt.

"Uh . . . pardon?" she asked, as Mondo caught up with her. "My ears may be deceiving me, but did I just here you say you're coming with me?"

"Yup. Come on. We don't want to be late." Mondo told her. Tsunami's face began to redden, and Mondo guessed it wasn't because she was blushing.

"You are not coming!" she shouted. Mondo raised his eyebrows at her, giving her a look as if to tell her that she forgot something. Tsunami's anger died down, and her shoulders slumped. The blackmail. She had completely forgotten about it. "Fine." she sighed. "Looks like a don't have a choice." She continued walking. Mondo looked after her, puzzled, for all of three seconds before running to catch up with her.

"Why the change of heart?" he asked, seeming to be genuinely curious. Tsunami glared at him, putting her moneybag into her backpack, then slinging the backpack over her shoulder.

"You're stupid blackmail thing. Or have you forgotten?" Her voice had a nasty tone, and Mondo didn't like it.

"Actually, I had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me!" he said brightly, in an attempt to cheer her up. To say the least, it didn't work. Tsunami looked infuriated. She glared at him contemptibly.

"I hate you!" she said with vehemence.

"I know. But don't worry," Mondo reassured her. "You'll learn to adore me in time."

"Ya, you wish hotshot." Tsunami spat, quickening her pace.

"Ah, but what did I say about that?" Mondo asked, wagging a finger at her. Tsunami glared daggers at him. She stopped, and Mondo stopped with her.

"Fine, Sullivan." She said his name as if it were a swearword and Mondo almost flinched, but caught himself. "I'm only taking you along because you blackmailed me into it. So now that you're here, let's get something straight." Tsunami advanced a step. "I don't like you at all. I really don't. You're a jerk, you're egotistical, you've got a bunch of girls flouncing at your tail all the time, you ENJOY it," She said that as if it were a crime. Maybe it was in her eyes. "I try to stay away from people like you as much as possible. It was just my bad luck that I got put with you. Now," she continued, her voice taking on more vehemence. By now, Mondo was starting to get angry. "Just so I'm clear, I don't want you following me around, I don't want you calling me those stupid, endearing names of yours, and I definitely want to be seen with you as least as possible. I don't care if you're the fucking Minister of Magic; I don't care what people's positions are! I judge on personality, mister, and I don't like yours! So just leave me alone why don't you?!" Tsunami finished, breathing hard. She took one look at his face and backed up a step. Obviously, something she'd seen there had scared her.

Mondo's face seemed to be carved out of ice. His eyes were filled with barely concealed rage. "Fine then." he said. His voice was like shards of ice. "I'll do that." With that, he turned on his heal and strode away.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami hurried over to the statue of the one-eyed crone with a hump.

"Hey? What took you so . . ." Fred's question died as he saw the look on Tsunami's face. She didn't look happy. Obviously, something had happened. "Alright. What's up?" he instantly accused. Tsunami fidgeted and looked uncomfortable.

"Can we talk about it over a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks?" she asked tentatively. The twins looked at each other. Tsunami never did anything tentatively. George nodded.

"Sure Tsunami. Then we can check out Zonko's joke shop later." he assured her, trying to cheer her up.

Tsunami managed a weak smile. "Ya, okay." she agreed.

George raised his wand to the witch, muttered "Dissendium!" and the witch's hump opened. The three climbed in, one after the other, then sped off towards Honeydukes.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami, Fred and George entered the Three Broomsticks, looking around for a table. Madame Rosmerta waved at them as they walked in, and George waved back so enthusiastically, Tsunami and Fred practically had to drag him over to their table. "Same as always, kids?" she asked.

"Yes please!" Tsunami called back. Madame Rosmerta smiled at them, then turned away to get their usual tankards of butterbeer.

"So," Fred began, slinging his coat over the back of the chair. "You wanna tell us what's going on? Thank you Madame Rosmerta." Madame Rosmerta set their drinks in front of them, then turned and walked over to her next table. Tsunami took a sip of her butterbeer, then told them about her encounter with Mondo. Fred and George stared at her when she was done.

"Wow. You're so screwed." George told her.

"Thank you Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I think I figured that one out on my own." Tsunami stated, rolling her eyes.

"What'cha gonna do then?" Fred asked, after taking a swig of the butterbeer. Tsunami shrugged.

"Well, I figured I'd apologize." Tsunami stated, taking a sip of her drink herself.

"If he quits out, Fred or I can be your second." George volunteered.

"That's right Tsunami." Fred agreed. "You know, for the duel tonight." Tsunami blinked. She'd almost forgotten about the duel. Tsunami shook her head.

"No. Once you choose a second, you can't switch." she stated. "It's against the rules." George scoffed.

"What?" he asked. "It's not like Malfoy's gonna play with the rules."

"Well, just because he isn't into having an honorable duel doesn't mean I'm not." Tsunami told them quite frankly. Tsunami fished the rest of the forms out of her bag. "Now, why don't you two go to Zonko's and get some more Dungbombs, and I'll finish up these order forms?" Tsunami suggested. The twins looked quizzically at Tsunami. Usually she loved to go to Zonko's to get the latest tricks. "I'll meet you there as soon as I'm finished! I promise!" Tsunami assured them, and the twins seemed to relax. Fred downed the rest of the butterbeer in his glass, then stood with George.

"Alright then." he agreed. "We'll meet you there." The twins left the Three Broomsticks in a whoosh of cold air. Tsunami turned back to the order forms on the table, and, sighing, picked one up and began working.

--- ~* ~*

"Poor Tsunami." Fred said, looking back over his shoulder at the Three Broomsticks. "She's really in a dither about this." George nodded agreement.

"I know. I mean, she seemed like all she wanted to do was go back to the commons and mope!" George said. "Scares the heck outta me."

"Let's just hope Mondo forgives her, or else everything's doomed." Fred sighed.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami sighed happily as she put the finished order forms in her bag. She checked her watch, and found that she'd gotten them done in only 20 minutes. She smiled, and stood. She'd already paid Madame Rosmerta earlier for the drinks, and she hurried out of the Three Broomsticks and over to Zonko's. As she entered the joke shop, the bell clanged enthusiastically. Tsunami easily spotted Fred and George over by the firecrackers and exploding quills. She called to them, waving, and the twins turned, greeting her enthusiastically.

"Hey Tsunami! Look at this! They just got some new stuff in!" George told her enthusiastically. Tsunami grinned, looking at what he was pointing at.

"Myrtle's Magic Burning Gum. Fool your friends and foil your enemies." she read. Even Tsunami had to admit, they were pretty cool, but all she could manage was a weak smile. George and Fred's shoulders slumped.

"Aw, come on Tsunami! Cheer up!" Fred encouraged. "I'm sure everything will be fine!" Tsunami sighed.

"I know. I'm sorry, guys. Maybe we should get back. We can just hang out in the commons until class." Tsunami said, brushing the stray strand of hair back behind her ear. If fell immidiately back into it's place right in front of her face. The twins looked at each other, deciding that this must be serious. Tsunami always wanted to stay at Hogsmeade longer than they were supposed to, or wanted to stay out late. She was definitely irked.

"Alright." Fred agreed. "Let's go back to the commons. I'll try and teach you wizard's chess."

"What's that?" Tsunami asked curiously. "I've played regular chess, but not wizard's chess." George grinned.

"Chess for wizards, of course!" he said, and Tsunami laughed.

"Alright you two. Let's go." Tsunami said. And so they did.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami jumped in her seat as her pawn was taken by Fred's pawn. The black pawn had bent down its head, then rammed itself into the white pawn, and then dragged it off the board.

"Cripes!" Tsunami exclaimed. "That's evil!"

"Ya." George said, watching the game and eating a chocolate frog. "Ain't it great?"

"You bet." Tsunami agreed. "I like it already!" And so began a grueling game of chess. For each piece Fred took, Tsunami took another. Finally, after a whole half-hour, Fred had backed Tsunami into a corner.

"Knight to E3!" he commanded. The knight moved across the board and into position. "Checkmate!" Fred crowed. Tsunami groaned, falling back in her chair.

"Aw man! Ya got me!" she sighed. George grinned.

"You think Fred was hard? Try playing against Ron. He's a chess genius." George told her, stuffing another chocolate frog in his mouth. Tsunami raised an eyebrow at him.

"You know, if you eat to many of those, you'll get fat." Tsunami told him. Fred and George stared at her.

"So I take it you want to help a good cause and have one of my chocolate frogs?" George asked, waving the box at her. Tsunami grinned.

"I swear to god, you can read my mind." Tsunami said, taking the box from him. She unwrapped the frog, and took a bite. Fred rolled his eyes as he finished putting the chess set away.

"You seem to make anything sound like it's for a good cause, and it wouldn't be." Fred told her.

"Well duh." Tsunami told him through a mouthful of chocolate. "That's the point." Fred chuckled.

"I should've known," he said. "Well, come on. Time to go to Charms." Tsunami wrinkled her nose.

"Aw . . ." she pouted. "Do we have to?" Fred and George both gave her looks that a father would their child when they asked a silly question.

"Yes, we do. Unless you want to fail the test." George told her.

"But I'm going to fail it anyway!" Tsunami wined.

"Tsunami." Fred said in a warning voice. Tsunami sighed, and hoisted herself out of the chair and onto her feet.

"Fine, fine." she agreed. "Let's go."

--- ~* ~*

Malfoy tapped his foot on the hard stone of the corridor. "Where is that stupid mudblood? She's late!" Malfoy growled. He hated to admit it, but he was nervous. What if something went wrong and someone got hurt? What would happen then?

"Oh don't get your undies in a bundle, Malfoy. I'm right here." Tsunami stated, stepping out of the shadows with Mondo right behind her. Malfoy raised an eyebrow at her arrogantly and drew out his wand. Tsunami's eyes narrowed as she pulled out her own wand as well.

"Ready to be made a fool of, Noodles?" Malfoy asked.

"You wish Malfoy." Tsunami hissed. The two put the wands perpendicular to the floor, reluctantly bowed, then turned and began to walk.

"1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . .4 . . . " Goyle counted off their steps as they walked away from each other. "5. . . 6. . . 7. . ." She caught Mondo's eye for a split second, and he gave her a brief wink. Mondo had been acting weird ever since she got back. She'd tried to apologize, but he just brushed it off as though it was nothing and that she didn't do anything wrong. "8. . .9. . .uh. . . what comes after nine?" Goyle asked Malfoy quizzically. Malfoy rolled his eyes, while Tsunami looked at her watch impatiently and Mondo sighed in exasperation.

"Ten, you stupid git." he growled.

"Right!" Goyle agreed. "10!" Tsunami and Malfoy turned; their wands raised, and cast their spells.

"Remora!" Malfoy shouted, shooting the Jelly-Leg hex at Tsunami.

"Maricurous!" Tsunami exclaimed, using one of her favorite duel spells, a misty, turquoise-blue barrier, to block his attack and send it spiraling right back at him. Malfoy jumped out of the way, he'd known it was coming. "Stupefy!" Tsunami shouted. Another one of her favorites, just because of the coolness of the name. Her white wave of a spell sped towards Malfoy as he raised his wand.

"Despotch Reversio!" Malfoy shouted, turning the spell around and sending it towards Tsunami.

"Maricurous!" Tsunami yelled, using the same blocking spell as before, and this time sending it towards Goyle. Of course, this had all been planed earlier, just so they could finish their duel as quickly as possible. Goyle only noticed the spell coming right before it hit him. He let out a squeak of terror, then collapsed as the spell hit him. Tsunami lowered her wand, as did Malfoy. "What da ya think Draco?" she asked.

"Twenty minutes, about." Malfoy told her.

"Good, that was about the time frame I was looking for." Tsunami said. "So what do you think? Should I go alert Filch?" Malfoy nodded.

"Why don't you do that? I'll head back to the commons. You won." Malfoy told her. "Well, good night then!"

"Night." Tsunami agreed. She and Malfoy turned and parted ways, one going one way, one going the other. Mondo caught up with her easily.

"That was simple." he stated. Tsunami shrugged.

"Nuttin' to it." she said. "It was all planned out anyway."

"So tell me." Mondo stated. "Why are you teaming up with Malfoy?"

"Well, they guy's more than what he seems . . . I can't really explain it." Tsunami said carefully, hoping he wouldn't ask anything more. Mondo shrugged.

"Alright then." he said, and Tsunami almost sighed with relief. And that's all that was said until they reached the room.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami scribbled down the last of her homework, then rolled up the parchment and stuck it in her bag.

"Hey Sullivan?" Tsunami asked.

"What is it?" he asked, not looking up from his homework.

"You're still mad at me, aren't you?" she asked, peering at him worriedly. Mondo shrugged.

"Why would you think that?" he asked. "I told you that I wasn't."

"It's easy to tell a white lie . . ." Tsunami stated, and Mondo froze, but only for a spit second before rolling up his parchment and putting his quill away.

"Alright. Give me a reason why I would be mad at you?" he asked. His face looked totally emotionless, as though he was wearing a mask.

"Well, first off, people really don't get over anger that quickly." Tsunami stated. "The second reason is that you're not acting like yourself, and thirdly-"

"Why don't you just get to the aura part and get it over with?" Mondo asked, and Tsunami froze, her mouth open. She stared at him.

"P-pardon?!" she stuttered, her face turning white.

"You can see aura's can't you?" Mondo asked. "It's my aura, isn't it." Tsunami slowly shook her head. Mondo smirked nastily. "Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about." he growled. Tsunami just stared.

"How long have you known?" she asked quietly. Her face looked like a sheet.

"Oh, for about three days now." Mondo stated. He shrugged. "I heard the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan talking about it." Tsunami's eyes widened.

"They know?!" she squeaked in horror. Mondo raised an eyebrow.

"Well, duh." he stated. "How else could you tell the Weasley twins apart?" Tsunami sat down in her chair with a thump.

"They never told me . . ." she whispered. She looked like she was about to cry, and Mondo felt almost sorry for bringing up the subject. She suddenly stood furiously, knocking her chair over. "I'm going out." she stated stiffly, before running out of the room and slamming the door behind her. Mondo stared after her, looking slightly surprised.

'Geez, and I was just calling a bluff.' he thought. 'I didn't think she could actually see auras . . . then no wonder she doesn't like me . . .probably thinks I'm disgusting.' Mondo raked his hands through his hair. 'I wonder why she hasn't used it against me yet . . .'

--- ~* ~*

Lee Jordan woke to a loud banging on his dorm door. "Alright! I'm coming!" he called sleepily. He opened the door and began to ask: "What do you want it's 1:30 am . . ." but he trailed off as he saw what was standing in the doorway. A very angry looking Tsunami, along with two puzzled Weasley twins were standing behind her. Tsunami grabbed his collar, and dragged him out of his room, shutting the door.

"Good. Now that we're all here, want to tell us what's going on?" George asked sleepily. Tsunami glared at them.

"I don't know." she asked nastily. "Why don't you tell me?" The twins and Lee looked at each other puzzled.

"What are you talking about?" Fred asked cautiously. An angry Tsunami was not something to be reckoned with.

"Don't play dumb, Weasley." Tsunami growled, and Fred immediately backed down. "Funny thing happened about two minutes ago. I was talking to Mondo and we got onto the subject of auras." That was all she needed to say. Fred and George turned white under their freckles, and Lee began to find his slippers very interesting.

"Tsunami," George started. "We can explain-"

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Tsunami shouted, interrupting him and making them all cringe. "Why didn't you tell me you knew?! I was hoping you guys would figure it out on your own, sure, but you're supposed to tell me when you figure it out! I was hoping to hear it from you, but instead I get it from my stupid partner who hates me anyway!" Tsunami wiped her hand across her eyes, which succeeded in making the twins and Lee feel worse because Tsunami rarely cried. "You guys are supposed to be my friends here!" Her voice cracked. "Jesus! I'm so mad!" Tsunami stamped her foot. "Well?!" she demanded. "What have you got to say for yourself?!"

"Tsunami. We're sorry." Fred said. "We really are. We weren't sure how you'd react, that's why we waited so long." Tsunami's bottom lip quivered, and she bit it to get it to stop. God, how she hated crying. She just felt so betrayed. A few tears slipped out of her eyes, and she wiped them away angrily.

"Oh, geez. You're makin' me cry." Lee sniffled. Tsunami let out a weak laugh. "Here, dry up." Lee handed her a handkerchief, and Tsunami dabbed her eyes.

"Thanks." she said weakly. "So, who else knows?"

"Uh . . ." Fred said slowly.

"Well, there obviously had to be someone helping you. Hermione, perhaps?" she guessed. George rubbed the back of his head.

"You know, sometimes I think you're smarter than you give yourself credit for." he told her. Tsunami grinned.

"Only in selective areas." she told him. "And no getting off subject."

"Alright." Fred sighed. "Harry, Hermione,"

"I knew it." Tsunami grinned. "She's a smart one, Hermione is."

"Ya she is." Fred agreed. "Anyway, Ron and Ginny, and I think that's it." Tsunami nodded.

"Alright. Can we go to bed?" George asked. Tsunami grinned.

"Only if you three promise not to keep things from me anymore." Tsunami stated, a slight warning in her voice.

"We promise Tsunami." Lee told her, as Tsunami handed him back the hanky. Tsunami smiled.

"That's all I need. Good night then." Tsunami turned, waved goodnight, and headed back to her room.

--- ~* ~*

Tsunami didn't like the atmosphere of the room as she stepped into her dorm. It had a slight funny tinge. Her intuition was telling her something was wrong, and since her intuition was usually right, she didn't like it.

"Sullivan?" she called. "Are you here?" Tsunami jumped almost three feet in the air as she heard him from the couch.

"Ya. I'm here. Why?" He sat up, and Tsunami could now see hid head and part of his chest visible over the edge of the couch. Tsunami relaxed.

"Just wondering. It seemed a bit quiet. It was bugging me." Tsunami admitted as she began the short walk toward her room. "Good night." He didn't respond, and Tsunami felt slightly hurt, but quickly shook the feeling off.

"Hey Tsunami . . ." his voice stopped her in the doorway. She looked back over he shoulder to look at him. He wouldn't . . .couldn't . . .look at her.

"Ya?" she asked. "What is it?"

"What do you see in my aura?" he asked, still not looking at her. Tsunami stared at him.

"I-I don't know." she stuttered. Mondo looked at her cautiously, his face closed.

"You don't know?" he repeated. Tsunami shifted uneasily.

"Ya . . ." she said slowly, still looking uncomfortable.

"Do you mean to say you can't see my aura?" he asked. Tsunami looked even more uncomfortable.

"Ya . . .that's what's been bugging me." she admitted. Mondo stared at her, recalling what the twins had said.

"Ya, I think Tsunami fits the bill." Fred, or was it George, was saying to his twin. "She's short, got a nasty temper, extremely loyal, and seemed to know something about Malfoy that we didn't."

"I agree. She'll make a good friend. At least we know that there'll never be a relationship between any of us and her." the other twin stated.

"Ya. She obviously can see our auras, and aurasees can't see the aura of -" Mondo hadn't heard the rest, for a door slammed loudly. The twins had entered the classroom, and Mondo could hear no more of their conversation.

"Mondo?" Tsunami's voice jerked him out of his thoughts. "Is that all you want to know? I want to go to bed, you know." Mondo stared at her, finally finding his voice.

"Uh . . .sure." he stated quickly. "Good night Tsunami." Tsunami rolled her eyes, and muttered something that sounded strangely like "men" and disappeared into her bedroom, closing the door. Mondo stared after her. He wouldn't sleep a wink that night.

*************************** Preview of the Next Chapter:

"Here." Hermione pressed a piece of paper into Tsunami's hand. "Don't show Mondo this. I'm gonna go give him the book. I suggest you go to the Great Hall. Fred, George and Lee are waiting for you. And don't worry, I won't tell." Tsunami stared after her confused as Hermione entered the library, wondering about her last comment. She unfolded the paper, reading it. It was a page of a book about aurasees. She read through it quickly, finally coming along the last line. Tsunami turned pale as she stared at the words. She quickly stuffed the paper in her pocket, then turned and ran to the Great Hall.
