Hermione woke me up the next morning by splashing me with water from her wand.
"Alright I'm up!" I yelled rolling out of bed and falling on the floor with a *thump*
Hermione snickered as I got up grumpily, "ouch! That was mean Hermione!" I complained, pouting.
She rolled her eyes. "Come on, hurry up or we'll be late for class!"
I laughed, "yeah, and that would be such a pity!" I said teasingly. I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to shower and get changed, Hermione went down to the common room to wait.
After I had showered I grabbed my school stuff that Hermione said I would need and went downstairs, putting my dripping hair into a plait.
I stumbled across the common room and collapsed into a chair by the fire and shut my eyes.
"Oh no you don't!" came Hermione's bossy voice. I groaned and put my hands over my ears.
Next thing I know I was pushed off my chair and landed on the common room floor with a thump.
I let out an exasperated yelp and got up. I glared at Hermione who was smiling innocently.
"Not a very morning person are you?" she asked sweetly, I raised my eyebrows in annoyance. She held up her hands in mock-surrender. "I'll just take that as a yes then shall I?"
I grabbed my bag, slung it over my shoulder and followed Hermione out of the common room, down to breakfast, where I didn't eat much, just slept on the table. Then Hermione shook my shoulders and told me it was time for class.
"Noooooooo!" I moaned. "Yesssssssss!" she screeched back.
"Fine!" I said grumpily, managed to just grab my bag as Hermione started dragging me down the Hall.
"What do we have 'Mione?" I asked her shaking my arm out of her grip. "Potions," she said flatly. My eyes widened, "oh wow, I wonder if Neville will melt a cauldron, I've always wanted to see Snape go off his head."
She looked at me quizzically. "How did you know about Neville's cauldron melting habits?" her eyes narrowed suspiciously. "You forget, I know everything," I said mischievously, wiggling my eyebrows. Hermione didn't answer, just kept walking, her jaw set.
'Oops,' I thought, 'oh dear, I swear she is the moodiest person I've ever met apart from Natalie, but that ended up being caused by drugs so that doesn't count.'
I followed her in silence down to the dungeons, which were full or loud chattering people. I sat at an empty cauldron, while Hermione joined Harry and Ron. Snape swept in the room, causing an eerie silence to settle over the room. I rested my head on my arms, and watched as Snape swept in the room, causing an eerie silence to settle over everyone.
Snape strode up to the front of the room and stood in front of his desk. He glared around the room. "Right!" he barked, causing half the room to jump, "Today we will be brewing an intensely complex potion that I doubt hardly any of you will be unable to concoct. We will be brewing the 'piel de los ojos' potion." whispers of excitement broke out in the room. "Silence! Now Copy this down!" yelled Snape, the room went quiet as everybody scrambled for paper and parchment.
"Piel de los ojos?" I exclaimed under my breath. "What the hell?"
Snape glared at me. I smiled angelically at him then grabbed a quill.
Glancing at the board, I grabbed a quill and started copying down the ingredients, grinning at the strange variety of things I need for the potion I looked around, trying to figure out what I had to do next, when I was tapped on the shoulder.
I spun around in surprise and saw Ron standing behind me, looking sheepish, cauldron in hand. "Got a partner?" he asked brightly. I grinned at him, "nope," he grinned back and set his cauldron on the desk next to mine.
"You chop and I'll stir?" Ron asked me hopefully, "sure," I agreed, getting out the ingredients.
We worked in silence for a while then I turned to Ron, "Hey Ron, what does this potion do?"
"It's an Invisibility potion," he answered, as he dumped my freshly cut up tails of some creature I couldn't even pronounce into the cauldron.
"Awesome!" I exclaimed, grinning, Ron grinned back, sitting the lid on top of the cauldron, "we've almost finished," he told me, "we just need to let it simmer until it turns bright blue,"
I nodded and started cleaning up the mess I had made from chopping up the ingredients.
BOOM!!!!!!
The Entire classroom rocketed from the force of the explosion.
All the students had jumped at least 2 feet into the air and even Snape managed to jump at least 1 foot, before turning around and storming over to Neville.
"LONGBOTTOM!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW???" Snape exploded. Neville cowered in his seat.
"Err… umm... yyyou ssee I ummm." Neville stammered.
"Detention Longbottom, report to me at 8'oclock this evening." Snape said silkily. "NOW CLEAN THIS UP!" He yelled again.
The Slytherins snickered, as Neville slipped on his potion and fell to the ground. I glared at the Slytherins, and told them to shut it before I shut it for them as Ron went to help Neville get up.
"Sticking up for Longbottom, eh Robinson? He your boyfriend?" Malfoy sneered from a few desks away.
I turned to face him, my eyes burning dangerously.
"No Malfoy," I said as calmly as I could, trying to keep my temper down. "He, however is my friend, and that is what you do for your friends, you stick up for them, but oh dear, you wouldn't know that would you? You don't have any real friends! I'm not surprised either, who could be friends with you? You're enough to make any sane person sick!"
Malfoy looked insulted a second, then his face regained it's smirk. "5 points from Gryffindor, you annoying little mudblood, and insult me again and I'll make it 20."
Ron made a move to hit Malfoy, but I grabbed his robes and forced him back, Malfoy snickered, "don't Ron, the little ferret isn't worth any of it." I said, smiling sweetly in Malfoy's direction.
Malfoy opened his mouth again, probably to take more points away from Gryffindor, but was interrupted by Snape, who was so busy terrorising poor Neville he hadn't even heard our fight. "Enough! If you have finished clean up on bottle your potion. I will select one pair's potion to test in 5 minutes time!"
I lifted the lid of our cauldron, and waited while until the steam evaporated, I looked in, "Wow!" I cried softly, our potion was the brightest blue; I was amazed by the colour.
Ron and I started bottling the potion, stacking them neatly on the desk.
"Melanie!" somebody hissed from behind me, I turned, and left Ron to finish cleaning up. Seamus and Dean were grinning at me, they're faces slightly covered in soot from Neville's explosion.
"Yeah," I answered, trying not to laugh at their faces.
"Good on ya for standing up to Malfoy," went Seamus, his eyes sparkling with delight; "never seen him so shocked in my life!" added Dean, still grinning madly.
"I think you deserve 5 points to Gryffindor," Finished Seamus, I grinned at him and he winked back.
"Robinson! Turn around now!" Came Snape's voice, I groaned and turned around, scowling slightly at the name.
"Since you are so reluctant to pay attention in class, we will test yours and Mr Weasleys' potion." He said dangerously, eyes looking triumphant.
I locked eyes with Ron, and winked at him. "Yes, sir," we said in unison.
Snap took 2 goblets and filled them with our electric blue potion from some of our bottles. "Drink," he ordered us, I took the goblet lifted it up to Snape and said "cheers" before sculling the lot of it.
As the potion slid down my throat I shivered, "oooh, that tickles," I said, wriggling around.
The next thing I felt was a tingling feeling spread throughout my body.
Everybody 'ooohed and ahhhhed" I looked over at Ron, "oh wow," I said softly, his body was disappearing rapidly, I looked down at myself, I couldn't see me. I was invisible. I jumped up and down in delight.
Snape glared in Ron's and my direction, obviously annoyed that he had no reason to take points of Gryffindor.
"If you have brewed it correctly, then the effects will wear off in 2 hours." He sneered, "Now back to your desks! You are to bottle your remaining potion and put it on the appropriate shelf."
I grabbed a few of our bottles of our potion and shoved them into my bag, before Ron took the rest and stacked them on the shelf.
After everybody had finished Snape opened his mouth to yell out our homework when the bell rang for the end of lesson, Ron and I grabbed our stuff and followed everybody, scrambling out the door.
We met up with Harry and Hermione in the hallway, and the four of us started dawdling towards our next class, as they walked along, chatting about something or other, I amused myself with tugging on peoples hair as they walked past, then laughing as the spun around to see nobody there.
One girl however, turned around and slapped the nearest guy, thinking he had pulled her hair.
I leaned against the wall choking with laughter at the poor guy, who stood there stunned, staring after the girl who was storming off in the other direction.
"Come On!" Hermione said insistently, "Do you want to be late?!"
I rolled my eyes as Ron answered innocently, "It's not like the teachers would know if we're there Hermione, they can't see us."
I nodded, but when I realised that nobody could see me I said, "I want to go, I like charms," Hermione, smiled smugly in Ron's general direction.
We continued walking to Charms, Ron and Hermione bickering the whole way.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ~++~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~++~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~++~+~+~+~+~+~+~
We tumbled into the Charms classroom just in time for the lesson to begin, Ron, Harry and Hermione slid in to three seats near the front, and I sat next to a girl with dark brown curly haired girl in the back row.
I sat my stuff on the desk rested my head on my arms while Professor Flitwick explained how to perform illusion charms.
When everybody started pairing off, I turned to the girl next to me and tapped her on the shoulder asking if I could work with her.
She spun around in shock; she had bright blue eyes, which were wide with shock looking around.
I smiled, "sorry I scared you, do you have anybody to work with,"
She shook her head, and then looked around the classroom, dazed.
"are you okay?" I asked, waving a hand in front of her face, then I realised what her problem was, I was still invisible "oh crap," I said, maybe a little too loudly, half the classroom turned and looked in my direction, I smiled apologetically to them, then hit myself on the head with my charms book as I realised they couldn't see me.
"Owww," I moaned, the curly haired girl jumped around to look at me again, I waved my book in front of her, "sorry," I said again, "I guess I should have remembered that Snape made me take an invisibility potion this morning hey?"
When the girl realised what was happening, she started laughing, "Snape made you take the invisibility potion?" she choked out, "yep," I said happily, "I love being invisible, except I keep forgetting I am," I wrinkled up my nose, "it's really confusing."
She nodded, "know how you feel," she said smiling, "Terry, turned me invisible accidentally last year, it lasted hours!" we laughed.
"It's fun though, I'm Alison Moon by the way, I'm guessing you're the new Gryffindor girl, right?" she asked.
"Yeah, that's me, Melanie, how did you know, with my glorous invisibility I could be anyone." I asked curiously.
Alison flushed, "well, um," she started, "oh, I'm just not that friendly with any of the other Gryffindors, and all the Ravenclaws in my year have they're own friends to pair up with, they don't like me that much,"
I instantly felt sorry for her, I hate it when people are left out, "oh," I said uncertainly, Alison seemed to be embarrassed so I brightened up and exclaimed, "well now you've got the wonderful invisible me to be your partner,"
Her eyes lit up, then she said in a teasing voice, "oh, I guess you'll have to do, until I can find someone decent" I sniffed indigently, "are you implying my dear Alison that I am not decent?" I asked in mock-sadness.
"well," Alison replied, " I am having trouble trying to put the image of Draco Malfoy as a monkey out of my head." We both burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Alison, are you working?" came Flitwick's squeaky voice, "yes, Professor," replied Alison, eyes shining with laughter, "okay," she said to me, her face struggling to be serious, "Let's try the charm," I agreed and we got out our wands ready.
"So you wanna go first?" I asked hopefully, she laughed, "Sure, you weren't really paying attention were you?" I shrugged sheepishly, "not really," I admitted, "ok, I'll go first, what do you want to see?" I thought for a moment then replied, "I don't know, just think of something,"
She tapped her fingers as she thought, reminding me of Hannah, then her face brightened, "I'll show you my favourite place in the whole world," I smiled at her and nodded, "umm, Melanie? Are you there?" she asked hesitantly, 'oh crap, forgot I was invisible again' I thought stupidly, and repeated it to Alison.
She smiled and pointed her wand at me, she muttered the spell, and a flash of yellow surrounded me, and I was sitting in a paddock full of flowers and lush green grass, with a flock of sheep grazing with their lambs, I gaped with delight at the gorgeous field. I walked over to the nearest lamb and started petting it, I picked up a handful of grass and held it up to another's mouth, then on impulse got up and started dancing around, I did a cartwheel and crashed into a door, "huh?" I said stupidly.
I looked around, I was back in the charms classroom, and Alison was at our desks, laughing her head off, I got up and walked over to her, rubbing my head, which I had hit when I crashed into the door.
"What's so funny?" I asked her grumpily," she jumped at the sound of my voice, "oh, you're back in the land of the sane," she said laughingly, "did you like my backyard?" she asked hopefully, "hell yeah! it was gorgeous! Those sheep were so cute!" at the mention of the sheep she went back into peels of laughter.
"What?" I asked irritably, "oh, there was some kind of connection through the spell and I could see you, the 'sheep' were actually people, you got up and you patted Padma Patil on the head, and tried to feed Terry Boot some dirt off the ground." She broke off laughing again; I stared at her in amazement, then joined her in laughing.
"Miss Moon!" came Flitwicks voice again, "what has gotten into you today? That is twice I have asked you to be quiet, is there something funny you would like to share with the class?" keeping her mouth firmly shut she shook her head.
"who's Terry Boot," I asked, Alison flushed slightly, "ooh, he's the one with the spiky blond hair down there," she pointed towards a cute guy with perfectly bleached hair, "ooh, yummy!" I said sweetly. "I know!" sighed Alison dreamily.
"his lips are nice and soft too, pity he wouldn't eat the grass," I said, glancing at him, Alison started laughing again. I grinned.
"okay," I said evilly, "it's my turn now," her eyes widened and she stopped laughing, "oh, Melanie, be nice wont you?" she pleaded,
"hmmmmm," I said thoughtfully, "it's a good thought, a fairly sensible thought, but not one that I would associate with my plan,"
I raised my wand, and just as I was about to say the spell, the bell rang,
"no fair!" I whined, Alison laughed, "guess you'll have to save your revenge for some other time, hey Melanie?" she said gloatingly.
We gathered our stuff, "I guess so, but at least I'll have time to think of something better, maybe I could turn you into a monkey as well?" I said teasingly, we walked out the door and started off to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Don't even think about it, Melanie, or I'll…" she left off threateningly, my eyebrows rose in amusement, "you can't threaten me honey, you seem to forget that I'm acquainted with a certain red-headed pair of mischief- making twins," her eyes widened in horror, "you wouldn't," she said, I was silent, "oh crap, you would! Alright I won't ever threaten you again," I smiled smugly.
We continued teasing each other until we reached the Great Hall, "sit next to you in Transfiguration?" I asked her hopefully, hanging around with Alison was almost like having Hannah around, almost, but not quite.
"Sure," she said smiling, "see ya then," she headed off towards the Ravenclaw table, while I headed for the Gryffindor table to eat.
I was starved!

Okay, its late and maybe the end is bad, but I wanted to introduce other characters I didn't want this to be a 'dream team' centred story, you read that?
If you want a story that's centred on Harry then well, continue reading my story just open another window and search for others.
I have some pretty good stories in my favourites if you want go up the top and click on my name, but before you do that there's a blue box right down the bottom screaming for you to click on it! Yes, you're right it's the review box! Well done! 10 points!
If people want to review or email me, prank ideas for future chapters then I welcome you with open arms, well maybe not open arms or I'll drop my orange juice and I wouldn't want that, but I'd definitely be eternally grateful, you know the kind of gratefulness that lasts forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and I'll be shutting up now.
You know writing these little notes down here isn't good for me, I end up arguing with my self or talking about nonsense like somebody else is here. I might just go before I scare my self any more.
Oh by the way! I'd love to thank the amazing Ebony Shadow! She gave me the idea of the invisibility potion, and is also a really cool, funny, nice person to talk to on msn!!!!! Everybody cheer for Ebony!!!!!!
Yay!!! Ok now I'm going! :o) lotsa luv, Melanie!
'Cause you're everywhere to me, and when I close my eyes its you I see, you're everything I know, that makes me believe, I'm not alone, oooohhh! I'm not alone.

"No Malfoy," I said as calmly as I could, trying to keep my temper down.

Her eyes lit up, then she said in a teasing voice, "oh, I guess you'll have to do, until I can find someone decent" I sniffed indigently, "are you implying my dear Alison that I am not decent?" I asked in mock-sadness.
"well," Alison replied, " I am having trouble trying to put the image of Draco Malfoy as a monkey out of my head." We both burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Alison, are you working?" came Flitwick's squeaky voice, "yes, Professor," replied Alison, eyes shining with laughter, "okay," she said to me, her face struggling to be serious, "Let's try the charm," I agreed and we got out our wands ready.
"So you wanna go first?" I asked hopefully, she laughed, "Sure, you weren't really paying attention were you?" I shrugged sheepishly, "not really," I admitted, "ok, I'll go first, what do you want to see?" I thought for a moment then replied, "I don't know, just think of something,"
She tapped her fingers as she thought, reminding me of Hannah, then her face brightened, "I'll show you my favourite place in the whole world," I smiled at her and nodded, "umm, Melanie? Are you there?" she asked hesitantly, 'oh crap, forgot I was invisible again' I thought stupidly, and repeated it to Alison.
She smiled and pointed her wand at me, she muttered the spell, and a flash of yellow surrounded me, and I was sitting in a paddock full of flowers and lush green grass, with a flock of sheep grazing with their lambs, I gaped with delight at the gorgeous field. I walked over to the nearest lamb and started petting it, I picked up a handful of grass and held it up to another's mouth, then on impulse got up and started dancing around, I did a cartwheel and crashed into a door, "huh?" I said stupidly.
I looked around, I was back in the charms classroom, and Alison was at our desks, laughing her head off, I got up and walked over to her, rubbing my head, which I had hit when I crashed into the door.
"What's so funny?" I asked her grumpily," she jumped at the sound of my voice, "oh, you're back in the land of the sane," she said laughingly, "did you like my backyard?" she asked hopefully, "hell yeah! it was gorgeous! Those sheep were so cute!" at the mention of the sheep she went back into peels of laughter.
"What?" I asked irritably, "oh, there was some kind of connection through the spell and I could see you, the 'sheep' were actually people, you got up and you patted Padma Patil on the head, and tried to feed Terry Boot some dirt off the ground." She broke off laughing again; I stared at her in amazement, then joined her in laughing.
"Miss Moon!" came Flitwicks voice again, "what has gotten into you today? That is twice I have asked you to be quiet, is there something funny you would like to share with the class?" keeping her mouth firmly shut she shook her head.
"who's Terry Boot," I asked, Alison flushed slightly, "ooh, he's the one with the spiky blond hair down there," she pointed towards a cute guy with perfectly bleached hair, "ooh, yummy!" I said sweetly. "I know!" sighed Alison dreamily.
"his lips are nice and soft too, pity he wouldn't eat the grass," I said, glancing at him, Alison started laughing again. I grinned.
"okay," I said evilly, "it's my turn now," her eyes widened and she stopped laughing, "oh, Melanie, be nice wont you?" she pleaded,
"hmmmmm," I said thoughtfully, "it's a good thought, a fairly sensible thought, but not one that I would associate with my plan,"
I raised my wand, and just as I was about to say the spell, the bell rang,
"no fair!" I whined, Alison laughed, "guess you'll have to save your revenge for some other time, hey Melanie?" she said gloatingly.
We gathered our stuff, "I guess so, but at least I'll have time to think of something better, maybe I could turn you into a monkey as well?" I said teasingly, we walked out the door and started off to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Don't even think about it, Melanie, or I'll…" she left off threateningly, my eyebrows rose in amusement, "you can't threaten me honey, you seem to forget that I'm acquainted with a certain red-headed pair of mischief- making twins," her eyes widened in horror, "you wouldn't," she said, I was silent, "oh crap, you would! Alright I won't ever threaten you again," I smiled smugly.
We continued teasing each other until we reached the Great Hall, "sit next to you in Transfiguration?" I asked her hopefully, hanging around with Alison was almost like having Hannah around, almost, but not quite.
"Sure," she said smiling, "see ya then," she headed off towards the Ravenclaw table, while I headed for the Gryffindor table to eat.
I was starved!

Okay, its late and maybe the end is bad, but I wanted to introduce other characters I didn't want this to be a 'dream team' centred story, you read that?
If you want a story that's centred on Harry then well, continue reading my story just open another window and search for others.
I have some pretty good stories in my favourites if you want go up the top and click on my name, but before you do that there's a blue box right down the bottom screaming for you to click on it! Yes, you're right it's the review box! Well done! 10 points!
If people want to review or email me, prank ideas for future chapters then I welcome you with open arms, well maybe not open arms or I'll drop my orange juice and I wouldn't want that, but I'd definitely be eternally grateful, you know the kind of gratefulness that lasts forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and I'll be shutting up now.
You know writing these little notes down here isn't good for me, I end up arguing with my self or talking about nonsense like somebody else is here. I might just go before I scare my self any more.
Oh by the way! I'd love to thank the amazing Ebony Shadow! She gave me the idea of the invisibility potion, and is also a really cool, funny, nice person to talk to on msn!!!!! Everybody cheer for Ebony!!!!!!
Yay!!! Ok now I'm going! :o) lotsa luv, Melanie!
