Stupid Defective Clock
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"
"Oi!" I jumped out of bed in surprise, immediately regretting it. "Argh, my back, bloody clock alarm! Erg… Make me hurt myself why don't you?" I shouted moodily at the clock.
As I looked down at it, I saw that it read 2 am.
"OH!!!, You've got to be marfing kidding me! ALRIGHT!!! Who set the bloody clock for 2 am?" I questioned loudly, waking the other occupants of the room. I turned to look at each of the accusingly.
"What are you on about?" Sheena asked sleepily.
"Yeah" Penny mumbled "I didn't hear the clock go off."
I stood looking confused at the other girls and then at the clock.
"Come on, now!" I sighed turning back to the girls and losing my patience "This isn't funny anymore. Just tell me who did it then we can all go back to bed."
"Am, none of us did it." Kate said with all sincerity.
The girls got comfortable in their beds and pulled close their drapes, leaving me standing alone in the dark. I turned back to the clock to check the alarm setting. It was still set for 6:30 am.
"What the fuck!?!" I thought furrowing my brow. "Sheena must be right… it must be faulty or something." I finished thinking to myself, setting the clock back to reading the time.
I turned back to my bed and began to get in. Suddenly, the room was lit by a bright blue light. I turned to see what it was; ignoring the twinge of pain I received for my swift movement. The face of the clock no longer displayed the time but the words, "use the key!" I gasped in shock and screamed for the girls.
"Guys, get up!"
"Honestly Am!" Penny shouted in complaint opening her drapes. "Go to-!" She stopped mid-sentence as her eyes too, landed on the clock.
Snoring had filled the room as someone had evidently gone back to sleep.
"Am! How'd you get the clock to do that? And what's that suppose to mean?" Penny questioned pointing at the face of the clock.
No sooner than she had motioned to it, the clock stopped glowing blue and went back to its previous state. I sat staring blankly at the clock wondering, "What the hell was that?"
Penny looked at me, fear etched on her face, "Am, how and why did you do that?"
"I didn't do anything!" I shouted enraged that she could even think of blaming me.
"Yeah right, Am! You were the only one near the clock and only you heard it go off! Now… what did you do!?!" Penny raged at me.
"Look!" I shouted. I had finally had enough. "I've had a bad day already and it's only 2 am! I don't need this so I'm going to bed! Goodnight Penny!!! I hope you find out who really did it because IT! WASN'T! ME!!!" I raged back at her.
She looked at me like a deer in headlights. Evidently, she hadn't expected backlash from me. Feeling that I would get nowhere from standing there looking at her, I turned away and got into bed, pulling the drapes closed around it.
I got under my blankets and laid staring at the ceiling as my back throbbed from all my harsh movements. "Aw Shoot! I didn't use the 'Bruise 'B' Gone'! Ack, my back is sooo going to kick my ass tomorrow!" I thought, mentally slapping myself for my stupidity.
I listened closely to the sounds of the room and heard a bed squeak. Penny had finally gone back to bed. After staring at the ceiling thinking about what had just transpired, my eyes drooped closed and I fell into a dreamless sleep.

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"
"OH FUCK NO! NOT AGAIN!" I yelled angrily as I heard the clock. I quickly turned over once again ignoring the pain and covered my head with my pillow.
"Am, get up!" An angry Sheena yelled pulling back the drapes of my bed.
"It wasn't me! I didn't fuck with the clock! You must be right, okay!?! It fucking faulty." I said loudly before anyone could accuse me.
"You know I'd agree with you Am," started Sheena "that is… if it weren't 6:30 am and time for you to get your bloody arse out of bed!"
I uncovered my head from underneath my pillow and looked up at Sheena to see that she, in fact, had not been kidding. "Oh, fuck me!" I said in utter annoyance.
"Sorry, but I don't do that with people who go to bed in their uniform. That's so passé." She teased. I looked down and turned scarlet realizing that I hadn't even taken the time to change into my pajamas. "Now come on! We have to get to the Great Hall for breakfast" She said like a true friend.
"Where's Penny and the rest of the girl's?" I asked noticing the other beds were empty.
"Penny got up and roused the other girls so they could leave and get breakfast and not have to deal with you after last night." Sheena admitted.
"Why didn't you go with them?" I questioned rather sadly.
"'cause, friends just don't do that to friends." She answered simply.
I smiled gratefully at her. "Thanks." I was glad I at least hadn't scared off one of them. "Well, I'm gonna shower and stuff so, if you want you can head down to breakfast." I said kindly to her. She nodded somewhat hesitantly before taking off. "I'll see you down there!" She called to me and then was gone.
With great trouble, due to my back stiffening in the night, I managed to take a shower and get dressed in my robes, doing little else with my hair than brushing it and letting it be.
After I was finished getting ready, I tromped down the many staircases and through the many hallways before coming to a halt in front of the Great Hall. The immense size of it still surprised me having been in it only once as of yet.
"Well," I thought "here goes nothing!"
The door slowly opened inwards and I let a few students enter in before me. I soon followed them, ready to face the whole of Hogwarts and anything they could possibly throw at me.
