Chapter 2: Cucumbers and Magic, A Very Bad Combination
All four girls stared wide eyed at the castle.
"Whoa," said Natalie after a long pause, "I guess that sign wasn't joking.
"Obviously," the rest said in unison. They all had to look around for another moment before it all clicked. "We're at Hogwarts!" They all shouted simultaneously.
"Oh my gosh, do you know what this means?!" said Grace turning to the rest, but went on without pausing, "We can get Ron and Hermione together now!
Sophie, Natalie, and Danielle's faces all lit up,
"Yes! You're right!" said Natalie. "I'm going to find them right now!" said Grace, and before anyone could stop her she bolted right into the school.
Danielle sighed, "There will be no stopping her now! Someone better go follow her to make sure she doesn't accidentally kill Ron or Hermione in attempt to make them express their love for each other. How about you, Natalie?" said Danielle, but when she turned around the other two girls were long gone. "Fine then… I guess I'll have to-," she started, but a thought struck her, and with a mischievous grin she also ran into the school.
It turns out that after she left, Natalie went looking for the charms room. I wonder where the charms classroom is… thought Natalie. According to that map I drew of Hogwarts, It should be right…HERE! She thought, and bounced up and down excitedly in from of the charms room and went inside. However Danielle went looking for the great hall. When she got there, she rushed over to the first person she saw. "Hello!" she said, and sat down next to a boy who was eating cheese. "Erm… hello… my name is Neville… are you new here?" said the boy. "Um, yeah sure," she said in a rush, "hey, can you make cheese levitate?" she continued. "Erm, I guess I can try," said Neville, sounding a little suspicious of her, and whipped out his wand.
"Oh, what was that spell," he said under his breath but then remembered and pointed his wand at a lump of cheese on the table, "Winguardium Leviosa!" He said. For a moment, it looked like the spell had worked fine, and Danielle jumped up and down with happiness at fulfilling her life-long dream of seeing flying cheese. However, Neville isn't very good at magic, and this was no exception. "Oh, this is so cool! I've always wanted some flying cheese, and now I do! Oh , wow, than- AHHHHHH!" she ducked under a table as the cheese shot at her like a cannon ball, but it followed her under the table and began to hurtle itself at her like a bludger. "ACK! Someone OUCH help me OUCH the cheese is OUCH attacking me!" she sputtered and raced out of the hall. In fact, she ran all the way to the corrid outside the charms room, where she ran into Natalie, who seemed to be hiding. "Natalie! Help me OUCH the cheese OUCH is attacking OUCH!" She yelled, but then continued to run again as she couldn't stay in one place for long without the hard lump of cheese pegging her painfully on the back. Natalie laughed. "Well, she finally got her wish!" she said softly as Danielle." Stop squirming, will you?" She said, and pushed what appeared to be a talking cucumber that was about to make an attempt at escape back into her pocket. "You're mine now… mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"Let me go! Let me go!" it kept saying in a high squeaky voice. "Hehehe, not a chance," she said and walked away to fins Grace and Sophie.
