*Oh, yeah, thankies to Cassie, coz she also helped write some too.*

Ahem…

*(Rolls eyes) and all of those furry little creatures out there that make the world a cuter place to live in*

Ahem… (Coughs suggestively)

*WHAT?*

And the other slimy things out there that make the world a nastier place to live in.

*Heck, I'm not thanking THEM! Do it yourself!*

Ok, thankyou! Hee, hee. Telly no like slimy, slithering things out there, she's also got arachnophobia. (Grins evilly) Now, where did I put that fake snake?

(A distant scream is heard, followed by running footsteps)

*I will kill you Chantelle!*

That means you'll have to kill yourself. And what a shame THAT would be. You know, no one would miss you…

*Just hang 10 people, I have a multiple personality to strangle.*

GASPS, Aaagggghhhh, help me! Someone call 911

*You idiot, 911? That's in America, and if that's your only help, NOBODY CAN STOP ME NOW! (A cackle spookily comes out of your screen)*

Not…quite…dead…ye…t

*Well, we can soon fix that! *

Noooooooo…

Ahem. Chapter 6

"Gee, I hope that Aunty Lori doesn't worry about us too much," commented Tess.

"Nah, she won't worry about us, she'll worry about you," said Kate.

"That's nice," said Tess huffily, "It's not my fault I like books."

"No, you don't," said Annie.

"Yes I do!"

"No," Annie repeated, a small smile playing on her lips.

"YES. I so like them, you know I do!"

"No, you don't like them, you love them!" said Annie finally with a grin, her brown eyes twinkling.

"She won't be worried because you like books. Books have nothing to do it, on the contrary, she'll be worrying about you because you have a tendency to wander off," Kate pointed out. They sat down at their seats.

Just then, Tess's phone rang.

"Hello? Yeah, oh, OH NO! Bugger! Yeah, mmm, yeah, ok, see you when we get back."

"Well, tell us. Who was it?" asked Annie.

"It was Zoe, telling me that she and Avril aren't allowed to come, because their parents said no."

They were silent for a minute. (World record for Annie.) Kate broke the silence.

"Even if that was the Prime Minister, I thought I told you before we even got on this plane to turn that bloody phone off. It does something to the plane, so you've got to turn it off until we are in England and off the plane. Got it?" Kate fumed, her brown eyes flashing.

"Ok, sorry," said Tess meekly.

"This is gonna be a loong flight," said Annie under her breath, rolling her eyes as the plane took off…

(Back to Harry)

"So, Ron," Harry started.

"Yeah?" Ron replied.

"How're Fred and George going with their Joke Shop?" Harry continued.

"Mum is really mad at them because they started it even after she got them a job with our uncle, and she wanted them to tell her where they got the money from, and they told her to trust them, it wasn't like they robbed Gringotts or anything," he finished.

"Let me guess, she's not talking to them?" Harry said.

"Yeah, but I noticed she still sent them their birthday presents," Ron sniggered.

"Oh, so she could afford birthday presents could she?" a drawling voice commented from the doorway.

"Get lost Malfoy," Harry snarled, immediately on guard.

"Yeah, she could afford a present," Ron replied lazily, "Pity though."

Malfoy was taken aback. "Pity what?" he spat, furious that he wasn't getting at Ron's nerves.

"Well, you know, you have so much money…" Malfoy's chest puffed up. He always let people know he was wealthy, and finally that Weasley noticed. He was probably going to be his friend, just so he could have some. Well, he had another thing coming…

"Well, pity your mother couldn't afford to spend some time with you to teach you some manners. You shouldn't eavesdrop on people's conversations like that," scolded Ron, trying not to laugh. Malfoy's ego deflated like a balloon.

"Don't bring my mother into this, Weasley!" he snapped.

"Well, then, leave my mother alone," replied Ron coolly. Malfoy stalked out of the doorway. Hermione and Harry just stared at Ron, their mouths open.

"What?" asked Ron nervously.

"That… how'd you…Malfoy… WHAT THE?!?" Hermione stuttered. Ron grinned to see hermione at a loss for words.

"Let's just say the Harry's not the only person to keep in touch with Sirius over the hols," he said, inspecting his nails with grace.

Harry beamed. That's how cool Sirius was. He even had time for Harry's friends. After all, he did give Ron Pig.

Speaking of pig, he was still as daft as ever. Flying around in his cage, he suddenly crashed into the mirror and knocked himself out.

"Idiot," groaned Ron, picking him up out of his cage, "Why am I always the one with the pathetic pets?"
