Part 3-
"Mr. Malfoy!" Megan yelled through King's Cross Station. Many heads turned, Muggle and Magical alike. "Whoa! I can't believe I'm seeing you again so soon!" Megan said with a beaming smile as she reached the Malfoy family. She grabbed Draco's wrist and giggled.
"Well, what are the odds..." Cliffe said and rolled his eyes.
"Bite me, Pencil-dick." She said angrily. "Mr. Malfoy, give me a ghetto-hug my brotha!" She said and bent Draco down into the desired position for the hug she gave him. "Word, brotha!" Megan said and flicked her head in a nod.
"I'm not your brother." Draco said as soon as he could possibly get out of her embrace.
"I wish." She mumbled. Matt was by her side at that moment.
"Hey!" He protested. "He's a psycho, Dark Lord follower who hates you and you'd rather he be your brother than me!" He more said than asked.
"Yeah..." Megan said and turned her head to the masses. "BRODY!" Megan yelled and shot into the crowd. A short, slumped over, green haired girl stopped and turned her entire body in the direction that her name was called.
"Hey, Meg." Brody said and waved. "Did you have a real bitchin summer?" Brody asked sarcastically. Megan laughed and put her hand on Brody's shoulder. "Please, Megan. Don't touch me. I don't like to be touched." Brody Alexander was just the type of person who was pissed off at the world and has no reason why. She had lenient, nice parents who let her do basically whatever she wanted. The world didn't screw her over in any way and she was in the top ten students in the grade and one of the top twenty at Hogwarts. Brody was just pissed off and that's why Megan liked her. "Have you seen Alice or Joel?"
"Not yet, I've been hounding Mr. Malfoy. You know, Louie's dad ACTUALLY thinks I want him!" Megan said and tore Brody away from her mother who bid her farewell and went away.
"How putrid." Brody said and shuddered all over.
"Hey, bud, you don't have to tell me." She said and they walked together to Platform 9 3/4 waiting impatiently with Louie and Cliffe, who stood there reluctantly because he had told his friends to meet him there as well. Joel arrived a few minuets later pushing his cart with all his bags and his pet owl, Tim, sitting on top of the stack. Joel was average height with brown hair and a scrawny look about him, and his squared glasses didn't help the geeky appearance he was trying to escape.
"I'm so sorry I'm late. Mum had to get some milk and eggs for Unis' cake and then Unis' decided she didn't want any cake and it just got confusing so I had to walk here and then I remembered that I was aloud to drive now since I'm not on restriction anymore for that last stunt you pulled, Megan. Speaking of which, Alice told me her eyebrows grew back, isn't that nice?"
"Joel, shut up." Brody said and spit out the nail from her middle finger which she'd be gnawing on for the entirety of the time they were waiting. Joel looked downtrodden there for a moment and played with Tim's wing delicately.
"Radcliffe, who are these people?" Spat Denise Thermopolis, the beautiful blonde with an acidic tongue and harsh glare who stood before them and wrapped her perfectly manicured fingers around Cliffe's upper arm. Cliffe looked down at her tan hands and was content with himself. He grinned condescendingly at the group and then looked over at Denise.
"You know who they are, Denise. My brother, his girlfriend, the Mudblood with an attitude problem and Joel." Cliffe answered.
"I am not Louie's girlfriend, Asshole." Megan retorted, her arms crossed tightly across her chest. Cliffe turned away and mumbled something to Denise which made her laugh-no, giggle.
"Have I mentioned lately how much I hate gigglers." Brody said with detest. "Where is Alice?" She asked.
"I dunno," Megan said and tapped her foot quickly and grabbing at Joel's wrist for his watch. "But we need to go through. Louie and I can go through first and then Brody and Joel." Megan decided.
"Hey!" Matt said, he'd been unnoticed for most of this time but not by choice. "I can't go by myself." He told her. Megan growled under her breath and then looked up at Matt.
"Ok, wait for Alice." She offered.
"I don't know what she looks like." He said desperately.
"She's kinda tall with black hair to her shoulders and blue eyes and she's really skinny." Megan described her friend and turned around to the brick wall and felt Matt's hand on her elbow.
"Is she the one with the huge boobs?" Matt asked with hope in his eyes.
"I wouldn't call them huge..." Megan's voice trailed off.
"That's only because you don't have any." Matt joked.
"I'm at a 'B' now, Asslicker." She said and kicked him in the thigh, aiming for his groin. "Come on Louie." She said and the two pushed their carts quickly through the barrier. "My brother is so going to die a virgin." She said to Louie when the got on the other side. Brody and Joel came through and Matt could be heard, as the barrier wobbled, shouting about going through alone. Then the monotone friend everyone had grown to love, Ashleigh Nichols came through with Matt tagging along behind. Alice shook her head and rolled her eyes back in his direction.
"Your brother doesn't shut up, does he?" Alice asked. Megan shook her head and they turned away from the barrier and to the scarlet Hogwarts Express.
After a relatively uneventful train ride they made it to school. Surprisingly unscathed considering Brody's attempt to feed Tim to Matt's cat, Josephine. Hogwarts stood in all its grandeur in the distance, dimly lit by the glow of candles from the inside. The fifth years rode the secret underground roller coaster onto the grounds {A/N: UNDERGROUND ROLLER COASTER! WE CRACK OURSELVES UP! WHEEWW!} led by goblins, similar to the ones at Gringnotts. When they got in the Great Hall, Megan scanned the teacher's table to see if any of the teachers she disliked had left Hogwarts. Sadly they were all there.
Headmistress Krum sat at the center of the table next to Professor Hagrid, teacher of Care of Magical Creatures, her favorite class. Professor Creevy was next to Hagrid, she taught Magical Career Decisions, Megan hadn't had this class but had been assigned it this year. The rest of the Hogwarts staff wasn't even worth mentioning. A bunch of buffoons who graded her on her last name and not her merit.
They stood together in a circle talking and laughing at younger students who had started to break out over the summer or gained weight. But Deputy Headmistress Parkinson, who taught Ancient Ruins, broke up the conversation and made the group go to their tables. Louie, Brody, Matt and Megan went to the Gryffindor table and Matt finally met up with his friends, relieving Megan. Alice sat down at the seat at the Ravenclaw table closest to the Gryffindors and Joel squeezed between Yareila Visuette and Courtney Finch-Fletchly with the Hufflepuffs. Parkinson brought in the first year students to be sorted. After a long drawn out ceremony the first years came to their respective tables and Hermione Krum stood up from the table and smiled at the quieting students.
"Hello, I am Headmistress Krum, and I'm very happy to welcome you to a new school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." She proclaimed. The first years clapped at the speech, excited about starting at Hogwarts. "I am also happy to announce that Harry Potter has won the election for Minister of Magic!" The school was excited. Half of them had no idea what duties were involved with the Minister of Magic and were just happy that the person that their mummy and daddy had voted for had won. But, Megan knew exactly what this meant. Or at least what it meant for her.
"NO! NO! NO! This is- no! I am not- BAD!" She managed.
"Chill out, Megan." Louie said as she banged her hands on the table, forks clattering against dishes all down the table.
"Chill out! You're dad lost! You don't have to be the Minister of Magic's daughter. Getting special perks for the rest of your life. Oh dammit!" She rambled on about the downfalls of public office until Louie just began to block her out of his mind. He had developed a very strong aptitude in this field.
"I believe a congratulation is in order for our own Megan and Matthew Potter." Krum said and motioned to the Gryffindor table. Matt smiled at his new title and Megan shot her eyes to the Slytherin table where Radcliffe was pushing his napkin around with his fork.
"The world is a whore, Meg." Brody consoled her silently and without much sincerity. "And you're just another client." She scratched her elbow against the edge of the bench and turned back to Krum. "God, I'm so hungry." As if an answer to Brody's complaint, the plates filled with food and the students ate. Megan ate ferociously with an unquenching appitite. When there was an uncommon lull in the conversation she scooped some mashed up on her index finger and with a squishing noise she stuck that finger in Louie's ear. Louie jumped up when the spuddy food was in his ear and began to knock on the opposite side of his head, trying to dislodge it. Megan giggled quietly with her fists to her mouth and her eyes widened with glee.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" He exclaimed and started rotating his finger in his ear to get the potatoes out.
"Megan, stop putting things in people's ears." Brody said and ate some of her potatoes happily. Megan took this oppurtunity to take a naked chicken bone and shove it into Brody's nostril. Brody punched her in the shoulder and pulled it out of her nose and as Megan nursed her shoulder Brody threw the bone at her. The bone bounced off Megan's head and into Roger Pryor's glass of pumpkin juice. The orange liquid splashed in his face and he looked down the table at Megan who threw on a face of shock and pointed at Alice, who was talking to Gwen Thompson at the Ravenclaw table. Roger bit his bottom lip and threw a handful of croutons at the back of Alice's head. She turned around and knocked the crumbs out of her hair. Roger glared at her and Alice looked over at Louie who's mouth widened into a smile and passed the smiling onto Megan and then to Brody. Alice grabbed her glass of water and poured it onto Gwen's lap. She jumped out of her chair and toppled into Courtney Finch-Fletchly, knocking her face into her plate. She pulled her face up and there was mashed potatoes and chicken sauce all over her and in the creases of her eyelids. Courtney, who was always up for fun grinned and shot up in her chair.
"FOOD FIGHT!" She declared. And thus went the Mashed Potatoe Disaster of 2018.
{A/N: Whee! That was fun! We should do it again sometime. Same time next week? Sounds good to us! Yay for food fights!}
