I slid in the transfiguration room just after the bell rang, calling a thanks over my shoulder to Nearly Headless Nick, who had shown me the way to the classroom after History of Magic, I shut the door, and looked up at Minnie innocently, "sorry I got lost," I apologised, Minnie didn't say anything, just glared in my direction as I looked around the classroom for Alison, who was sitting all by herself in one of the back rows, she was off in dreamland, head resting in her hands, I sat in the chair next to her with a loud bang, earning myself another glare from Minnie.
Alison jumped, I smiled at her, "did ya miss me?" I asked cheekily, her eyes widened, "Melanie? So that's what you look like," she stated in amusement. I nodded dejectedly, "invisibility only lasted for 2 hours, and you should have heard the screams when I just appeared in the middle of a corridor!" I grinned as Alison snickered loudly, earning her one of Minnie's glares.
"So, what are we doing?" I asked her, glancing around the classroom, all our classmates had rocks in front of them. Alison frowned, "we have to turn these rocks into furniture," she explained crossly, I raised my eyebrows, "and that's a bad thing?" I asked, "Yes, I can't do it!" she complained, I rolled my eyes, "have you tried?" she scratched her head in thought, "no, not yet," I rolled my eyes again, "then how do you know you can't do it?" I asked exasperatedly, she shrugged.
We looked around the classroom to see that almost everybody was proudly displaying their large chairs, tables and other things. I struggled to remember what Hermione had told me last night about Transfiguration, and then thought of a piece of furniture, tapped the rock, and said the spell. I watched in delight and then annoyance as the rock was turned into miniature blue furry chair.
"Oh great," I muttered under my breath, Alison turned around, took one look at my chair, and started laughing, she laughed so hard she fell off her chair, which made me start laughing as well, the entire class turned and stared at us for a moment, before turning back to their work.
"Miss Robinson! Miss Moon! What is so funny that you are disrupting the class?" Minnie had come over to yell at us, Alison started choking so I hit her on the back, she hiccuped and glared at me, I smiled sweetly, then turned to the fuming Professor. "Minnie, I managed a chair! Look!" I said, proudly displaying my chair, which was about 15 cm high. Minnie's dark eyes widened, "Was that your first try Miss Robinson?" she questioned in surprise, I nodded happily, the shocked Professor smiled slightly, then gave Gryffindor a point and walked off.
"Did she almost smile?" Alison asked in amazement, I turned my head on the side and glanced back at the Professor, she was helping Seamus, Neville had given him wooden legs, I looked back at Alison, "yeah, I think she did," I replied grinning, "it's your turn," I added in a sing song voice.
She groaned, then pulled out her wand and concentrating hard, said the spell, in the place of the rock there was a medium sized desk. We both cheered loudly, McGonagall sent us another annoyed look and told us if we were finished to sit quietly until the end of the lesson.
Alison yawned and lay head on her arms, "I'm so tired!" she complained, "Hagrid has some way overactive pets! What did you have?" I laughed, "I had a nice nap in History Of Magic, except the stupid Slytherin sitting next to me left me asleep when class was over" I said grumpily, she snickered, "is that why you were late?" she asked, I nodded, "well, it was partly that, I also got lost, then Nearly Headless Nick showed me the way here."
Alison nodded, "Hey what are you doing after classes?" she asked curiously, I shrugged, "I'm not sure, I was thinking of going flying, want to come?" her face brightened, "sure," she accepted excitedly.
After class Alison and I flew around the grounds, chasing each other and laughing, I used the same broom I had when I was flying with Fred and George, Alison had a Nimbus 2001, she was a really good flyer, really fast, which was annoying for me because we played an annoying version of chasings where when you caught you tapped the person you caught with your wand and they became bright blue and stayed that way until the game ended or they 'caught' the other person.
At Dinner time we headed back to the castle exhausted, "I wish I was good enough to play for the House Team," Alison said wistfully, as we passed the some people playing Quidditch on the pitch. I rolled my eyes at her, "you are good enough you silly fruitcake, I might not know much about Quidditch, but you are good! You just need the faith in yourself to tryout," she smiled shyly at me, "thanks, but I'll stick to spectating, I'd be to scared to try out,"
I bit my lip, "My brother always told me that its when your too scared to do something you miss out on what can be one of the best things in your life," I smiled at the memory, "wow," said Alison dreamily, "That's real deep," I nodded, "yeah I know, he told me that when I was too scared to try out for the soccer team," Alison pushed open the doors and we stepped into the Entrance Hall, "mmmm, I wish my brother was that nice," I smiled sadly, turning my head away so Alison couldn't see the tears forming in my eyes, "yeah," I replied, "he's great, I'll seeya later?" I waved goodbye and trotted over to the Griffindor table.

"I'm bored!" I told Hermione, she sighed exasperatedly, "For the 10th time I know you're bored, stop whining please! I'm trying to do my homework." I sighed, "but I'm so bored!," I got up and walked towards the stairs, trying to think of something else to do. I didn't want Hermione mad at me.
I stopped in front of the staircase, biting my lip in thought, until I got an idea.
I sat back down next to Hermione, picking up her charms book; "hey, 'mione can I borrow this?" I asked pleadingly. She nodded without looking up from her work. I flicked through the book searching for the right spell.
Then I raced out of the portrait hole and tore down the corridor, stopping when I saw Alison talking to a tall dark haired boy. I smirked, moving to hide behind a suit of armour. I pulled out the wand I was given and pointed it at Alison. Muttering the spell, I grinned as I watched Alison look around, extremely confused. She shrieked, and the guy she was talking to took a step back, asking if she was okay. As Alison opened her mouth to reply she turned bright blue.
Open mouthed with shock she looked around frantically. I flattened myself against the wall, hoping she couldn't see me, when she appeared infront of me. I burst into giggles looking at her furious blue face, and then as she pulled out her wand I ducked under her arm and started running up the corridor.
"Come back here Melanie!" she shrieked.

I ran down the next corridor laughing my head off, Alison racing after me yelling. I turned a corner and ducked behind a statue of a knight. I kneeled and slid across the floor and banged into something with a loud thud. I fell back and lay sprawled across the hallway. "owwwww!" I whined, rubbing my head.
"What happened to you?" asked Alison in an amused tone of voice. I pouted at her, "I bumped my head on something," I rolled over and crawled back behind the knight. "Hey!" I exclaimed in confusion as I searched out the gap with my eyes, "There's nothing here?!?" I stood up as Alison came up next to me to see for herself.
"Maybe you imagined it?" she suggested teasingly, I glared at her, "ok!" she surrended. "You didn't imagine it, maybe it's invisible," she smirked and reached out her left arm waving it around in front of the wall. It clunked loudly against something. "Ow!" she cried. She pulled her arm back and nursed it against her chest.
"Looks like I didn't imagine anything." I said smugly. I reached out, softly grabbing onto the cold metal. I felt along it then turned to face Alison in shock. "It's a ladder."

But they're there. Right now I would love to leave my house. I haven't been out since Monday. Not counting going up to the letterbox on Tuesday. And I am sick to death of being sick! Im missing my best friends birthday party! Missing cooking at school. Missing our school fair. Not like anything happens but oh well. I actually want to go back to school. How bizarre. Hmmmm. At least I got to write a bit I guess. And I have watched more dvds and videos in the last few days then I do most weekends.
