~*~ Hey peoples!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back and I'm high on sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was partly from my dream!!!! But I've 'expanded' on it a little!!!! I love dreaming!!!!!!!!! I have cool dreams to!!!!!!!! But I'm not gonna go into them right now!!! Anyway I apologise for anyone that's offended by this in any way I just wanted to write from a different point of view!!!!! Plus it was a really funny dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything belongs to the beautiful, talented, amazing J.K.R!!!!!!!!!!!! Except Melanie she's mostly made from me and some of my friends!!!!!
Melanie stood waiting impatiently for her taxi to arrive. She was at the airport and had just said goodbye to her mother and father, who were going on a holiday to Jamaica for a month.
Melanie however, had not been allowed to go and was meant to take a cab to her horrible Aunt Laura's house after saying goodbye.
She glanced around the airport looking for something interesting to do. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw something funny, 'I didn't just see that!' she told herself, whacking herself on the head. A few passers by looked at her curiously, shaking their heads muttering "mental".
She glared at them angrily, before walking over to a blank wall under a sign which said "Gate 209" she stared at it a moment in wonder before shaking her own head, making her thick dark brown ponytail swish.
'As if,' she thought, before leaning against the wall
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Melanie was falling, how, she had absolutely no idea, but she was falling into the wall? How the hell? She thought, while frantically tying to grab hold of something, she couldn't, there was nothing to grab hold of.
THUMP!
She landed cat like on the floor. She lifted her head shaking her hair back. "I fell," she whispered to herself, before gasping "in an aeroplane?!?" her mind worked quickly before she registered what was exactly going on. 'Great' she thought triumphantly 'I'm not a mental case after all! Wait! Maybe I'm hallucinating! Sure seeing this doesn't class me as a full and out freak!? Well I may as well make the most of my psycho state!!!' she laughed before looking around to see if anyone looked familiar.
She spotted a pale blond, fairly tall boy sitting in a chair, in the middle of what looked like two hairy apes in clothes! Melanie started giggling softly, and then she started laughing uncontrollably and rolling on the floor as she imagined the two fat boys hanging from trees and eating bananas.
"What is your problem mudblood?" the pale boy drawled. Melanie jumped up outraged "What the hell did you just call me Malfoy? You *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*!!!!!!!!!" and with that she punched him in the nose and kicked him where the sun don't shine, before walking in to the next compartment 'J.K.R may have been wrong about the train but she was right on with Malfoy! He was so ugh! I don't want to think about him now!' She kept walking looking for another more friendly familiar face.
She walked into the last compartment mind full of thoughts of what was happening to her. Sitting on the chairs were 3 people she definitely recognised, a brunette, a red head and a boy whose hair was almost black. With them was a shaggy black dog that Melanie was sure wasn't really a dog.
She thought quickly before grinning to herself. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!' she screamed. 'It's the grim!!!!!!! Save me!!!! Save me!!!!!!!!! I'm going to die!!!!!!' and with that she 'fainted' dramatically in the doorway. Seconds later she opened her left eye to see three worried and confused faces peered over her. Four if you included the 'grim', which was sitting by her side looking at her quizzically.
She burst out laughing for the second time that day rolling around the floor uncontrollably. After 10 minutes she finally stopped. She looked up at her companion's faces at the sight of their partly scared, partly confused, partly amazed faces she promptly burst into her laughing fit again.
"This could take awhile," the brunette muttered to the red head, before taking something out of her pocket and muttering something so a jet of ice-cold water splashed onto Melanie, who stopped laughing instantly.
She stood up shook her head so water flew everywhere, and glared at the brunette. "What was that for Hermione?? I would of stopped!!" she told the girl. "Eventually!" she added as an after thought. She grinned at the shocked girl standing in front of her, before turning to the two boys "hey Ron, hiya Harry," she had just reached out to shake Harry's hand when she heard a low growl from behind her. Still grinning she turned around to face the 'grim', which was growling at her teeth bared.
"Sirius, sweetie I don't want to hurt Harry! Or Ron or Hermione for that matter, the only person I really really want to hurt on this plane thingy, is slimy Malfoy and those two apes he had with him" here Melanie suppressed another laughing fit before continuing. "But he's probably recovering from the other injuries I gave him when he called me a mudblood"
Melanie allowed herself a quick laugh then gave Hermione a pitying look,
"know how ya feel now 'Mione, feel sorry for the lot of you having to put up with that jerk for four years? Or is it five now? Well almost five isn't it? At the start of five years anyway! How old are you lot now? I'm 15 since the third of August!"
Melanie said proudly, tossing her wet hair over her shoulder. "You're 15 too aren't you Harry? 3 days before me isn't it? I can't wait till I'm 16 then I can get my learners licence for a car!!!!! I can't wait!!!! I'd actually better be leaving now. I bet my cab's already here. *Sigh* Oh well! Aunt Laura probably won't even notice I'm not there!! She's just like your Aunt Petunia Harry, except I've got a girl for a cousin but she's only a baby! Lucy her name is! She's adorable! Probably won't stay it though, with a mother like hers! Mum said I was a cute baby too, reckons I looked just like Lucy except I had bright green eyes! But they changed colour, now they're brown. Still go green when I'm angry, or so Hannah says, she's my best friend just like my sister since I'm an only child. Lives next door too so we've always been close. God It'd be so cool if she was here too!!! She'd probably be able to shut me up; she's the only one who can control me when I'm hypo!!! Lucky I'm still wet or I'd probably be bouncing around the compartment. Hey why are we on an aeroplane anyways? Isn't that too muggle??? Or is it a train? I dunno it's looks like both! Maybe it's a train that flies?? Could be, I guess. Good reason for why it's in an airport." Here Melanie paused for a breath and looked at her new 'friends.'
"Geez, you guys aren't exactly the brightest conversation makers are you?" She glanced from Ron to Harry to Hermione to Sirius.
"I can understand your lack of talk though Sirius, if you transform to talk then somebody is bound to walk in here, see you and start screaming that there's a convicted criminal in here talking to the 'famous Harry Potter' conveniently forgetting of course that Sirius is totally innocent of almost all crimes and that he was framed by the most *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* rat that ever walked the planet. Don't you agree??"
Melanie sank into a seat, completely out of breath from her vicious ranting about rat boy. She heard whispering and looked over to see Harry, Ron and Hermione having a furious conversation, undoubtedly about her. They looked up feeling her gaze upon them. "Well?" Melanie asked them cheerfully, "What's my verdict?" They looked embarrassed for a moment realising she knew they were talking about her then Ron nudged Hermione and she spoke up asking,
"What's your name?"
Melanie was taken aback. Surely she had told them her name? "I'm so sorry! God how rude am I? I am Melanie Robinson. Mel for short if you really want. Oh my God I can't believe I was that rude! And I knew all you names and everything! So stupid!" Melanie kept muttering to herself occasionally hitting herself on the head for her stupidity. They all stared at her amazed for a while then Ron broke the silence asking,
"Melanie, how exactly did you know who we all are? I mean sure people always know Harry because well he's Harry, but well me and Hermione? We're never recognised and for Sirius?? I'm guessing there's no use trying to deny it from you. You seem to know absolutely everything. How?" Ron's voice was sturdy, but his face showed confusion and anticipation as well as a little fear for what was coming. Melanie though for a moment before answering, " ummm… well… you see… it was…. A book."
She finished with a grin at Hermione who returned it shyly.
"Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, why exactly is Sirius here? I'm guessing it must be pretty important since he's in public and all? I'll understand if you don't want me to know? I know I ask way too many questions for my own good, but I still can't seem to shut my mouth! You see…" She was interrupted by a know at the door which was slid open to reveal a plump looking witch with a shopping trolley full of what looked like lollies.
"SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Melanie bounced over to the lady and began examining the contents of the trolley while the others got their money out of their trunks. 'WOW!' Melanie thought as she looked in her pockets to see how much money she had on her. "Do you take muggle money??" she asked the witch hopefully. "Well… not exactly…."
Melanie threw herself at the witches' feet and started begging. Finally the witch relented and allowed Melanie to buy some food. She chose some Chocolate frogs, Fizzing Whizzbee's and some funny looking lollipops. She paid for all these and sat down and started to devour the chocolate frogs, after glancing at one of the cards she tossed it to Ron saying, "this is the one you're missing right? You can keep it." And kept on eating her frogs.
Ron looked down at the card astonished, "Agrippa! Wow! Now I've got a full set! Thanks Mel!" Ron exclaimed before turning to Harry and Hermione and whispering, " you know that girl is not so bad, she's not so scary anymore, maybe we should ask her why and how she's here now before she finishes eating and can talk again" he grinned and looked over at Melanie who had eaten a Fizzing Whizzbee and was floating about a metre off her chair laughing.
"Yeah, you're right Ron" Harry said also grinning, "what do we want to know?" Ron looked at Hermione who immediately answered, "what that book was called, I knew they're was books about Harry but us? I mean come on we're not that special. I'm still not convinced that she's not a Voldemort spy. Something's wrong about her. If she really were a muggle like she says, how would she get on the plane? Only people with magic in their blood can get through the barrier. I think we should be careful around her, especially you Harry, and we should go straight to Dumbledore as soon as we can. Agreed?"
Hermione looked at Harry who nodded then looked at Sirius who woofed his agreement then all three of them looked at Ron who was looking at Melanie with a strange expression on his face. "Ron?" Harry punched his friend lightly in the arm. "What Harry?" Harry grinned knowing what his friend was thinking, he himself had been thinking that before too. "Do you agree?" Ron looked bewildered, "agree? Agree to what??"
Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry who grinned back, "never mind just be careful around her" and Hermione pointed straight at Melanie, who was now flying around the cabin just underneath the roof. Ron shot a sceptical glance at Hermione then walked over to where Melanie had just landed.
He pulled her over to Harry and Hermione and sat her down in the seat in front of them and sat down next to her. "So..." began Hermione, "about this book, what is it called and how did you get it? And how did you get in here? On the plane I mean?"
Melanie looked like she had seen this coming all along, "ok, about the book, I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to tell you and all, you know? I think we should go straight to Professor D as soon as we get to Hogwarts, and as for how I got it… well I bought it. You want to know how I got in here?" They nodded wordlessly.
"I'm telling the truth, I mean I seriously," She looked at Sirius and laughed at his doggish grin, "sorry knew I was gonna make a joke about that sometime! Anyway I have absolutely no idea how I got in here, I mean, muggles aren't supposed to be allowed through the barrier to get on here right? So unless there's something about me even I don't know about I don't know how I'm here," Melanie shrugged then added, "but I do know that I'm not a spy for dear old Voldie, so no one has to worry and Sirius doesn't have to bite my head of at all, literally as well as figuratively! I'll answer all your questions as soon as I get the answers from Professor D. Good enough for you?" They all nodded, including Sirius, they were disappointed, but understanding all the same.
The plane started flying down and a voice announced that they would be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes time, Melanie felt a pang of excitement run through her body and she fidgeted in anticipation, all her dreams, her fantasies… magic it was all real! She had always believed it really existed, she knew it was childish but she didn't care, only Hannah knew what Melanie really thought and being her best friend would probably never tell either.
The plane slowed till it was almost still and Melanie jumped up out of her seat when the plane jolted to a stop and she was sent flying, straight into Ron's lap.
She laughed, "sorry Ron!" she apologised before jumping out of his lap and bouncing to the door. Ron got out of his chair a faint blush passing unnoticed on his cheeks. Harry was saying goodbye to Sirius, who couldn't go up to the school for some reason, instead he was going to wait till everyone left then creep into the Shrieking Shack. "I will see you soon, won't I snuffles?" Harry asked pleadingly. Sirius nodded his shaggy head before slinking into a gap to hide.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Melanie climbed out of the plane, Melanie's stomach doing little leaps of joy. Harry led the little group over to a big man who Melanie assumed was Hagrid. "Hey Hagrid!" they greeted. "Harry, Ron and Hermione! Good ter see yers! Whose yer friend?" Hagrid glanced at Melanie puzzled since he had never seen her before and she looked to old to be a first year.
Smiling brightly she jumped forward, "I'm Melanie Robinson!" she told the half-giant cheerily. Grinning at Mel's behaviour Ron added, "We met her on the plane. She, er, fell onto the plane somehow." At this Hagrid looked even more puzzled, and seeing this, Harry said, "Well, we better get into a carriage. We'll come to see you later Hagrid, bye!" Harry grabbed Ron and Melanie by the arms and pulled them into a nearby empty carriage.
Hermione followed after telling Hagrid that they would explain about Melanie later. Hagrid shot them one more puzzled look then continued herding his first years to the boats as the carriages started the journey up to Hogwarts…
