A/n: Thanks for all the reviews. I know it's been so long since I last
updated, as a certain Gryfindor likes to remind me. But I promise I'll
update more often, I hope.
Miss Natalie- You used it1 you used the word! Hehe. Any more ideas?! Besides a stuffed alligator.
Listerine Girl- No! Don't spray! Or, at least just spray Ben. And don't worry. That's only one girl's bathroom. There are plenty others for refuge.
"That's what I said!"***********
Kitty stared with horrified eyes at Ben, whose face had gone from ghostly pale to bright red. For once Kitty was at a loss of words.
Emily and Jessica exchanged glances. Jessica began carefully, "I've just been to see Mr. Scots. He told me what was going on, though I had it basically figured out by then."
Kitty moved her stare from Ben to Jessica. "What did he say?"
Taking a deep breath, Jessica carefully repeated what Mr. Scots had told her. "Albus Dumbledore brought them here. They needed jobs while he gathered international support for their fight against You-Know-Who."
"That's what I said!" shouted Emily before everyone shushed her. "But that's what I said, and none of you all believed me," she whispered.
"Why do they have to get jobs?" asked Ben.
"Well they don't exactly have regular money. And-" Jessica said, but she was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hello! This is America! One of the most expensive places to live on the face of the earth."
"Emily!"
"I didn't think- I checked for feet, sorry!"
Jessica dashed over to the stalls and started opening the doors. In the second one, crouched on the toilet seat and listening, she found Courtney. "What are you doing? And why is there a notebook in your hand?"
Courtney looked up at Jessica. "I'm writing what you said."
Jessica stood there while Courtney climbed down and left the stall and Emily quickly checked all the other stalls. "Why? Actually, never mind. But you have to promise that you won't tell ANYONE." She didn't want to imagine what Mr. Scots would do if the secret leaked into the school.
"So, did he say anything else?" Emily asked eagerly.
"Well, he-" Jessica was about to tell them what Mr. Scots had asked her to do. But she looked at them, and decided not to. "-He didn't say much- anything else."
There was a moment of quiet thought. Then Ben said, " So, now what?"
Jessica and everybody else shrugged. After a few seconds, they began to process out of the bathroom and headed towards the main hall of the school.
But Jessica noticed that Courtney kept sending strange glances her way, suspicious glances.
A/n: Review! Review! I am so sad. I have found out what happens to my beloved Gollum at the end of the trilogy. No wonder you all wouldn't tell me. *Sigh* So depressed... anyways. A new chapter should be up soon. And if anyone has any idea about what a boy likes for Valentine's Day, please tell me!!
