Ch 4. The Wonderful World Tights
"Harry? Harry? Harry are you all right? Harry wake up! Please wake up!"
"What's that noise? Where am I?" Harry thought to him self. " Who's slapping my face?"
"Harry?! Please!"
"There's that noise again." Harry slowly opened his eyes to see a bright glare of red. "Voldemort. He's here.red eyes. Glowing gold. Brook is she all right. Harry you have to get up, and find out what happened." Harry told him self in his head.
He opened his eyes again to see a ruby dangling from a gold tiara, and two brown eyes glazed over in fear.
"Brook?" Harry muttered in the loudest voice he could muster, which was just barley audible. He could see her relief as the smile he knew from breakfast earlier that week crept over the once scared eyes
"Harry? Oh thank God your alright."
"Its okay. But where did they go how did you fix the wall so quickly?" Harry asked gently. He didn't want to further upset the already distraught Brook.
"Where did who go?" she asked right back.
"Voldemort. He was just here," Harry was very confused, "he blew up the wall I know you saw it. You were glowing the color of gold, and floating in midair."
Brook was the color of freshly fallen snow, which was startling because she had a very dark complexion.
"Harry are you nuts?"
"Brook Starling can you not go one day without some freak accident happening," came the voice of the missing twin.
" Krystal do I need to beat the shit out of you before the designated time slot," she seethed through gritted teeth.
" Must you always talk like a computation device?" she shot right back.
" Look who's talking mademoiselle dictionary."
Harry was now a pool giggles as he watched the twins bicker back and froth like very educated two-year-olds.
" If you don't shut up I'll tell Garion you've been looking at." Krystal slapped a hand over her sister's mouth.
"You wouldn't," Krystal said in a threatening hiss.
"Oh I would dear sister. " Krystal just stared then turned and left.
"What was she looking at?" Harry asked as soon as she was out of sight.
"Oh. It was nothing. Come on, we better go before we miss breakfast completely," Brook said helping Harry off the floor
"Are you sure nothing happened?" Asked the boy.
" Yes I'm positive."
Harry decided to forget all about what he had seen. It was pointless trying to explain the unexplainable.
After breakfast brook led Harry across the castle to a wing on the fifth floor that he had never been to before. The closest he had ever been to it was once when he had taken a wrong turn on the way to DADA class in his second year.
"Welcome to the world of the weird," Brook said with a slight chuckle.
Harry couldn't see what was so funny. It was an ordinary hallway. What could possibly make this place weird?
Bang.
The door to the right of Harry burst open causing him to jump three feet in the air.
"JOEY KERKS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN MY CLOSET?"
It was Krystal, and boy pissed. Another door down the hallway opened and out came two guys. Garion and Matt were all laughing.
Then another door opened, and out came Bel. He looked very angry.
"What the hell is going on out here?" he asked no one unparticular.
Krystal came storming out of the first door slapping a protesting Joey. "YOUR STUPID BOYFRIEND DOSEN'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP HIS STUPID NOSE OUT OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS," she shrieked.
Garion stepped forward, "Krystal, clam down sweetie. He was just getting a game from you closet. I told him to."
Krystal was fuming, " YOU ASS-HOLE. You told him to go into MY room to get one of MY games? NEWSFLASH! Just because you're my boyfriend doesn't give you the right t."
Harry couldn't take it any more he started laughing hysterically. Brook quickly fallowed suit.
" What's Funny?" Krystal snapped.
Soon everyone was laughing. Krystal just stormed off down the hall. She was royally pissed off.
After about ten minuets of laughing Brook finally remembered that they were supposed to be going to be doing to a demonstration for Harry.
"Guys," she snapped, getting the attention of the group (consisting of Matt, Garion, Joey, Bel, Harry, and Her self) "we're late. So suggest we make like a bread truck and haul buns."
With that everyone started to make their way down the hallway.
"So," Harry said to Brook, " let me get this strait. Krystal goes out with Garion and you go out with Joey?"
Brook was taken aback by the question. "Your half right. Krystal is dating Garion, but I'm not dating Joey."
"Then who is?" Harry asked.
"Me," came male voice from in front of them.
"Who?"
"Me. Bel. Joey's my boyfriend."
Now it was Harry's turn to be taken aback. He wasn't really expecting that. He had assumed that Bel was, well, straight. It was a surprise to him that He and Joey were gay.
Harry decided that he would just shut up. He noticed that Joey, was dressed the same as the rest of the guys except his Cape was a very dark green. He was also wearing leather pants and a white shirt. Harry assumend it was a kind of uniform. He had dark brown hair and almost black eyes. He was taller then the rest of the group. He was probably about 6"4'. He wore a silver necklace with an emerald mounted on a silver crest hanging from it. Very Slytherin.
Then he noticed that Joey, Matt And Garion were talking quietly. He could tell some thing was up. He had only known them for a few weeks but he knew that they were loud people like Fred and George. They just weren't quiet for no good reason.
When they reached the end of the hall Matt opened a door and Harry was amazed by what he saw. There were walls covered in weapons of all kinds. He had never seen so many swords in his life. And that was gust one wall the other wall that caught his attention was the one that had bows hung on it. Bows of all kinds. He was awestruck.
"Hay, Harry come over here," Brook called. She was standing next to her sister. He walked over there just when the boys put their plan into action.
"Brook how much you wanna bet that I 'm gonna beat you in hand to hand combat and archery," Matt yelled across the room.
"How about nothing because I'm going to win."
"You sure?" he challenged.
"Yes I am. Every one knows girls are better than boys in everything."
"Well if you're so sure why don't we make a bet? If I beat you in hand to hand combat and archery we, as in us guys, get to stile you and Krystal's for the first week of school. What do ya say?" Matt countered.
"But if I win, uh, ya'll, as in you, Garion, Joey, AND Bel, have to dress as Robin Hood from that movie Robin Hood Men In Tights for the entire first week of school. Do we have a deal?"
"Wait, I never said I wanted in on this bet." Bel complained.
"Deal." Matt said ignoring Bel.
Harry was amazed that the boys would agree to some thing as stupid as that. And was equally surprised that the girls would do the same.
"Sorry Harry," Brook started, "You're going to sit here and watch. We're going to give a demonstration of the kinds of combat we do, and if you're willing to, after you see the demonstrations, Sara will teach how to do them also."
"Where is Sara any way." Just as Harry asked Sara walked through the door.
"Hello my children I hope you're behaving. Hello Harry. I think every thing has already been explained to you, so lets begin shall we?" Sara said enthusiastically." Bel, Joey, ya'll first please. They will demonstrate Magical Dueling/Combat then they will demonstrate combat with staffs."
Joey and Bel made their way to the center of the room and they bowed to each other then without a single word curses were flying they were shouting insults at one another, while the spells were dodged and cast. Why aren't they using wands or saying incantations? Harry asked him self and then it was over as suddenly as it had begun. Joey was on the floor unconscious, and Bel was walking over to revive his boyfriend.
"Very good Bel," Sara commented as the rest of us cheered. "Alright you two now lets see you fight."
Those simple words said and the fighting resumed the crack of wood against wood was all the could be heard Joey was taking the offensive while Bel blocked each attack then the positions changed and Bel was attacking and after about ten minuets of this Joey was with out his staff, and the others were cheering. Harry sat awestruck. There was so much skill in each attack he didn't know what to say.
Sara spoke up again, "Krystal, Garion, lets show Harry how we through daggers," the two exchanged glances it appeared that Krystal had forgiven her boyfriend for the earlier argument.
They stepped out on to the floras Sara muttered a spell. Small moving targets appeared all over the room and the two-started throghing knives that seemed to just to appear out of thin air. Each time they hit a target it changed to a color that they were wearing blue for Garion and purple for Krystal. Finally all of the targets were hit it was determined the Krystal had won hitting 27 of the targets and Garion hitting 23 of the targets. Then the next portion of the demonstration began with out having to be announced it was self-explanatory it was fencing.
It was obvious that they were experts at this. Harry had noticed that they all of the elves had swords except Sara so he assumed that Garion and Krystal were the best out of the six. Clang. Clang. All you could hear was the sound of metal on metal. The fight went on for what seemed for Harry only minuets but it was actually 45 minuets when Sara declared that it was a draw and insist that they move on.
Brook walked across the room with Matt to get the equipment they needed on as Sara explained what was going on. "You see Harry all of my students learn Swordsmanship Krystal and Garion have proven to be experts in that area. They all know Dueling and Hand to Hand combat as well. Brook and Matt are going to demonstrate archery and HTHC for you."
Matt And brook were now wearing a quiver full of arrows (red for Brook white for Matt) and were holding large bows. Brook was now wearing her fingerless gloves. Harry was excited because he wanted to know who would lose the bet they had made earlier. Sara muttered another spell moving targets appeared all over the room.
"Three. two. one. Go!" the arrows were flying all over the room when a target was hit it disappeared, so it wouldn't be hit again. It was happening so fast it could of only lasted 5 minuets max. And it was over.
The scores stood like this: 69 hits to 31hits. Brook wasn't lying when she said she knew she would win. She whipped the floor with Matt. The Guys were fuming. If Matt didn't win the HTHC they would all look like pansies on the first week of school.
"Looks like I need to find four sets of tights for my four favorite guys," Brook gloated.
"We still got hand to Hand to go so don't get your hopes up yet sugar." Matt Fumed.
After they put away all their stuff away HTHC commenced and if wasn't pretty to see a muscular girl like Brook who was 6"1' fighting a guy who more muscular and taller by far was scary. Brook already had blood coming out of a cut on her forehead and Matt had a bad burse starting to form on his jaw. But brook wasn't about to loose a bet so she went for the guys vulnerable spot and with a shot to the groin she kneed him in the face causing a loud crack of bone breaking. She broke his nose. The cursing the matt said is too horad to put in print. He was pissed he knocked her to the ground and grabbed her arm and bent it in such a way that wasn't humanly possible. There was a gut-wrenching crack. Matt had broken Brook's arm. Now it was war. Brook tears streaming down her face got up and punched him in the face with all her might. He was out cold. It was obvious Book had won. Every one just sat in shock. Sara got up and with a wave of her staff Brook was as good as new. Brook stormed of the corner to try and fix her hair. Sara healed Matt in a manner of seconds and revived him saying that brook won fair and square.
Sara walked over to a awestruck Harry and asked, " so what about it. Do you want to learn?"
Harry just stared at her he really wasn't prepared to answer that question, " I really should ask Sirius," Was all he said, but that was all that was needed.
Sara just smiled and left. She was really strange. He thought.
He looked around to see where everyone had went to Bel and Joey were talking quietly behind him, and Krystal and Garion to put it simply were still in shock from the fight, so he decided to let them be. Then he saw Matt talking to Brook. Harry wanted to go over and do the Brook and kick him in the nuts, but what he saw next shocked him more than the fight Brook and Matt to put it simply were in the middle of a make-out session.
"Boy, am I confused." Harry said to himself. He decided to find his own way back to the Gryffindor common room, and left.
"I don't know why I care but he just broke her arm. I will never understand girls. I will never under stand any of this." Harry said to him self
"Well, ani't life a bitch." Harry looked up to see who had spoken and almost passed out when he saw the one and only Cedric Diggory.
"Harry? Harry? Harry are you all right? Harry wake up! Please wake up!"
"What's that noise? Where am I?" Harry thought to him self. " Who's slapping my face?"
"Harry?! Please!"
"There's that noise again." Harry slowly opened his eyes to see a bright glare of red. "Voldemort. He's here.red eyes. Glowing gold. Brook is she all right. Harry you have to get up, and find out what happened." Harry told him self in his head.

"You wouldn't," Krystal said in a threatening hiss.
"Oh I would dear sister. " Krystal just stared then turned and left.
"What was she looking at?" Harry asked as soon as she was out of sight.
