A few hours later, Mini Minerva decided to check her mail again before bed.
There was only one mail, so she opened it curiously. It was a short and
very confused message.
Mini Min, OMG! No, I didn't send it! I got the same one.strangely enough a few other McGonagroupies sent me the same sort of message. Must be my bad rep. :] Anywho, who do you think is behind it? Maybe it's Punurple! She was behind Dumbledore, remember? Oh jeez! I don't know.Anyway, get back to me ASAP. Sky
Mini Minerva (who will from now on be called 'Brittany') frowned in confusion and leaned forward to type a reply, but as she touched the first key, she got this strange, spinning feeling and a slight tugging behind her naval.
'Shouldn't have had garlic pepper on that.' she thought.
But suddenly, she was pulled right through her monitor and for a few dizzying, nauseous moments, she felt as if she was going to be sick, but the suddenly landed with a painful thud on what seemed to be.someone's front step? They were on the stoop of a great brick house, with a painted white door and a brass knocker in the shape of a roaring lion's head. Surely there was something going on here.She immediately began to panic, but was pulled gently but forcefully to her feet by a woman with short brown hair and blue eyes that were behind rectangular shaped glasses. Brittany looked up in confusion.
"Er, if you don't mind me asking, who are you?" she asked, getting to her feet and dusting herself off.
Standing up, she realized that she stood a good foot taller than her. But, Brittany was used to that. Being only fifteen and standing five foot ten, she often towered over those who were twice her age.
"I'm Jestana." She said, looking around at the other people standing around her. "And this is Sky, Rachel, Victoria, Cielita," she said, pointing to each of the girls standing behind her, who nodded in turn, "And I think, if my theory is correct, that Tetley Bag, Tabby Girl and Tabby Kit should be arriving soon." She looked off into the distance (which was mostly dense forest and woodland) as if hoping that more people would soon drop from the sky, or come riding up on great white horses.
It took a moment for Brittany to process what she was hearing, and register each of the names in her head, before she jumped about a foot in the air (startling Jestana who still had her and resting on Brittany's forearm) and let out a fangirl-worthy 'SQUEEEEEE!'
"Oh my God! Oh my God, oh my God, oh my GOD! It's you guys! Oh my gosh! I never thought.but what.I.oh wow!"
The girls in front of her all had puzzled looks on their faces, so she explained as calmly as she could,
"It's me! Mini Minerva! From Minerva Magic at FAP!"
This statement registered with each girl in turn, and suddenly they all smiled with recognition.
"Mini Min! Great to see you, finally! Hey, you never did send me that fic to beta. If I had anchovies, I swear I'd whap you with them!" laughed Rachel, or as she was more commonly referred to at 'Minerva Magic' as, Punurple.
The group laughed for a minute at Punurple's trademark 'whapper', until the girl who was standing to the left of Punurple jumped up and ran at Brittany, knocking the wind out of her, and gripping her in a tight 'glomp'.
"This could only be Sky." Mini Minerva said, as she tried to pry herself from Sky's vice-like grip.
"Bloody Hell! I don't believe it! It's Mini Minerva, you guys! I didn't know that we were all from FAP! Cielita, I thought that you just had an odd name." said Sky, her pretty dark green eyes flashing and her shiny black braid swinging slightly with her excitement. Cielita promptly whacked Sky playfully about the head.
"Yeesh! Sorry, Dani! Just jokes! But Hey, if I had my Plot Bunny Stick, I swear you would all be in trouble."
"Hooray! Finally, and end to they tyranny of SkyRenaeMcgonagall." 'Princess Vicks' laughed with her Australian accent.
Everyone laughed along, if nervously. All of them were slightly afraid of Sky's almighty Plot Bunny Stick, having gotten a virtual whack with it at least twice each. The girls proceeded to hug each other, and say their greetings, having realized that they'd known each other all along. Suddenly there was a faint 'pop' and three other females appeared looking extremely confused and worried.
"Where am I?" One woman asked; taking off her glasses and wiping them a bit to make sure that what she was seeing wasn't a mis-formed bit of dirt clinging to them. She shook her head a little and got to her feet, trying to tame her now slightly mussed short, brown hair.
"We don't know. You must be.Tetley Bag, Tabby Kit and Tabby Girl, right?" The three nodded curiously.
"Ok," said Jestana, taking charge. "Ladies, meet your fellow McGonagroupies." She said, indicating at the four other girls waving happily from the steps of the grand house.
A lot of smiling, laughing and SQUEE! -Ing ensued from the group, as the met, chatted and chatted together. Sky, Mini Minerva, Tabby Girl and Punurple had sat down cross legged and were now discussing nothing in particular with great enthusiasm, and Tabby Kit, Jestana, and Tetley bag were leaning against the wall of the great house, discussing the realistic and unrealistic aspects of AD/MM and Hooch/Minerva. The chatter slowly died away as the evening wore on, and an hour or so later, one girl from the younger party stood up in an irritated way.
"Ok, I'm getting kind of chilly, and what the hell are we doing here anyway? We've all been sitting around like lumps, and not even thought about this? Come on."
The group stared at her outburst.
"Calm down, Punurple. I'm sure we'll find out in due time." Jestana said soothingly.
"But.we are sort of tired. and I'm getting restless." Mini Minerva said nervously.
"And hungry!" Tabby Girl pointed out.
Vicks dug in the pocket of her faded blue jeans for a moment. She pulled out, among miscellaneous other things, a packet of Lifesavers. The group looked at her in confusion. She shrugged.
"I've had exams! I needed some sort of sugar rush! You can't expect me eat or sleep during them! The teachers don't think so, anyway." Nearly everyone grinned and gratefully accepted the multicolored candy, except Tetley Bag, who looked as if she were in deep thought.
"What is it, Tetley?" Sky asked, there was a hint of concern in her chipper, cheerful voice.
"I was just thinking.well.it's nothing. You wouldn't happen to have a McDonald's in those pockets of yours, would you Vicks?" she asked in mock curiosity.
Vicks pretended to search her pockets, a look of feigned concentration on her face.
"Nope." She said, throwing her hands in the air. "I left my Mickey D's at home, will Burger King do?" Everyone laughed. Suddenly, Tabby Kit spoke with an expression of realization on her face.
"Hey.you guys don't think that there would be anywhere we could maybe spend the night, do you?" Punurple snorted.
"For heaven's sake! You don't think we could open this door and just walk on into this house, could we?" She said sarcastically. All the girls (and women) looked at her as if she were a genius.
"Punurple, that's it! Let's just walk on into this house! Why didn't we notice earlier? There are lights on upstairs! Hurry, hurry!" Tabby Girl said, jumping to her feet.
They all clamored for the door knob to wrench it open.
"Wait!" Mini Minerva cried. "Shouldn't.I mean.should we knock first?" she asked shrugging.
"Er, yeah.maybe we should. It'd be polite, you know?" Cielita added.
Sky sucked on her candy reflectively.
"Hmm.let's see. I'm cold and hungry, there's a house here that looks very warm and no one has noticed us yet. So, should we knock? Um, NO!" She reached over with that and yanked the door open. What they saw made their mouths drop open.
Mini Min, OMG! No, I didn't send it! I got the same one.strangely enough a few other McGonagroupies sent me the same sort of message. Must be my bad rep. :] Anywho, who do you think is behind it?
