AN~* Thankyou to Slytherinfirebolt, Silver Sparklze, and Dathrian Princess for reviewing. And thankyou to Slytherinfirebolt, because when I read your reviews, I found out some other great Authors. So, thanks!
Silver sparklze: ron only came up with that comeback because he had help from Sirius. And Telly has arachnophobia and reptilaphobia. (I kinda made up that reptilaphobia,[I don't know the word for it] but I did know that arachnophobia and the fear of snakes ARE different)
Slytherinfirebolt: the books thing was actually a part that Ashe-Leigh came up with, but that's me too. Although I may be a fast reader, I can not read 20 books the size of GoF in 5 hours. Lol
*And Chantelle would like to thank her multiple personalities for being a tower of strength for her during this trying time*
^Yeah. You haven't mentioned us hardly at all! (Sniff, sniff, tear.)^
Well, I mentioned Telly, but not you.
*Yeah*
^Why not? I demand to know!^
*Shelley, you will have to get over it. Not everyone can be mentioned. I mean, it took me at least 5 chapters to mention Benny, Nelson, Midnight, Oddball, Lily, the parole violators, Cassie, and Ashe-Leigh. (Who was an absentee at school today, but for your info, Ash, we did very well today in the Theatre Sports. We were against BAM, which is quite a feat, because they have Ben Marshall, so there you go. We were great. And that oral presentation for Japanese is due on Wednesday…) And Charlotte. Oh, and the furry things in this world that make it a better place to live in. And those other slimy creepy crawly things that make this world a more… balanced place to live in.*
Hee, hee, you should have heard her carry on like Ron when I scared her with that fake spider the other chapter.
^I wondered what all that noise was about. Next time, if you are going to scare her, Telly, then let me know when you are going to do it, so I can get loud music, or earplugs or SOMETHING!^
*Oh, yeah! (Grins slyly) you were supposed to be DEAD, Chantelle, get where I'm coming from?…*
Uh, oh, here's where I depart at a very fast rate, and yell a hurried goodbye over my shoulder. GOODBYE!!!
^Oh, geez, not again. Ok, here's the plan of action. I am going to leave you now, and go get some music or something, so TOOTLES!^
*(Runs back, panting) the civilised world say 'goodbye' but when I say civilised world, that leaves you right out of it. *
^Gee, you didn't take long in killing Telly, Chantelle. And I AM civilised. I do not go around killing multiple personalities on a daily basis.^
*Oh, this time didn't take long, because I used the machete. And I have to kill her, I mean, what would I DO all day? *
^Well, give up on killing her. She always comes back; your efforts are futile.^
*Oh, quit sounding like a Borg drone! *
^Well, Josh says I look like Seven of Nine.^
*(Rolls eyes) Of course he would! He's your boyfriend is he not? *
^Well, he wouldn't tell you that you look like Seven of Nine, 'cause you don'^t*I try not to let our personal differences get in the way of your relationship with IT. *
^Don't call him IT, I don't like it^.
*Ok then, I'll call him turd. *
^Oh, stop it. His name is JOSH^*Oh, all right, I'll stop calling him the turd*
^THANKYOU^ *I'll do him the decency of calling him by his real name…* ^I do believe there is more coming…^*Ok, I'll call him the BIG TURD. *
^You people just keep reading while I have a personality to strangle.^
Another Author's Note~* I must point out here that Chantelle Law is NOT going out with a guy named Josh. She, at the moment, is footloose and fancyfree, which she likes very much. Because most guys have bad breath, smelly feet and smell bad.
But her brother must point out the fact that his personal hygiene is very good, which she agrees, so not ALL guys smell bad, but I tell ya, our school is one big petri dish of personal hygiene disaster cases. Thank you
Chapter 7 Back to the MugglesTess looked up from the book she was reading on health, her green eyes shining.
"Did you know that a difference in altitude can help people lose weight?"
"Yes, Tess, we did. You've only been telling us for three weeks," snapped Kate.
"Stop it! Just stop it!" Annie cried. "This is supposed to be a fun trip, and I don't want you two spoiling it by fighting! Kate, watch the movie, you too Tess."
"I don't want to, they've got the mythology totally wrong!" Tess sulked.
"Then read that Tolky book then."
"Tolkein."
"Whatever."
"Ok," said Tess sullenly. Why were Kate and Annie always telling her what to do? Annie was younger than she was, and Kate was only older by a couple of months. She hoped that they would be separated at this new school. The teacher mentioned something about them being sorted into different houses when they got there. Well, the teacher also said that she'd explain a lot of things in about an hour. Oh well. Tess sighed, then brightened. That gave her time enough for at least three more books…
AN~* And these books aren't of the thin variety either. Not one of them was thinner than any of the Princess Diaries books. In fact, most of them were around the size of the GoF
~~~@@@###^^^***^^^###@@@~~~
Hermione looked up from the book that she was reading. She looked over to where Harry and Ron were having a passionate Quidditch discussion. She liked the way that Ron frowned when he was thinking about what Harry said. Hang on! She thought, why am I thinking about such things? Hermione lowered her head, back to her book, but still snuck looks at Ron when she thought that no one was looking. Once Ron caught her, and they both blushed and turned away. Hermione didn't dare do it again…
^^^***^^^
Ron looked over to where Hermione was, curled up in the corner of the cabin with her book. He liked the way that she wrinkled her nose every time that she turned a page. And what had she done with her hair? It was still bushy, sure, but in a nice way. Hang on! Ron thought, why am I thinking about Hermione that way? He was still staring at her when she looked up from her book, and they both blushed and turned away…
^^^***^^^
Harry looked at both of his friends and smiled. He'd seen the looks that they both were giving to each other and thought about a plan for a while. He thought that maybe he could owl Sirius, but then decided that their liking for each other should take it's own course. After all, he wouldn't want anyone interfering with his love life…

(Back to the Muggles)
"Can I please have your attention!" called Ms Djorvic. The whole plane looked at her. "As you know, we are on our way to England, but what you don't know is the type of school we are going to. It is indeed a boarding school, but Tess, you will need to put away your book." Ms Djorvic looked directly at Tess. Tess felt herself blushing.
"Sorry," she mumbled and she put away her book.
"Now, this type of school we are going to is a," Ms Djorvic paused for a moment, gathering her composure, "is a school for magic."
A buzz filled the air.
"Did she say what I think she said?"
"Groovy!"
"WHAT?"
"She's lying I tell you, lying. Does it all the time apparently…"
"No way!"
"Are my ears unblocked? It must be the altitude."
"I knew it," whispered Tess, her eyes shining with happiness.
"When you get there, we will be escorted to the Sorting by the Vice Principal, who will explain what happens when we get there. Families are not always in the same houses," she continued, looking directly at Tess, Annie and Kate.
" When you get there, you will be put into groups, and you must stay with your groups at all times. And no one, I repeat, no one, at any time is permitted to even touch a wand. Any questions?"
"What happens, if we like, actually do touch a wand?" asked a boy in Year 8.
"We'll see when that happens. Yes?"
"What if we don't get along with our magical buddies?" asked an older girl in year 10.
"I don't think that this will be an issue, but if it is however, you must come and see me immediately. No more questions? No, well you may go back to whatever you were doing."
Ms Djorvic sat down. Silence hung in the air, then, like a radio being turned up slowly when it's turned into the football (Aussie Rules that is!) a chatter broke out amongst the students. Tess though, remained silent. Then, as it began to sink in, she went back to her book.
^^^****^^^
Three hours later, air hostesses came along and asked for people's trays and that their bags should be secured. An announcement came over.
"Please have your tray table up, and your seat back up in the full upright locked position. We are landing in approximately 5 minutes. We all hope you enjoyed your flight and invite you to fly with Qantas again. Have a nice day!"
Tess looked up from her book eagerly. When she looked out of her window, she saw a castle, with many turrets and towers, with a cute little courtyard in the middle. On one side she saw a footy field, with stick things with hoops on the ends, fifty feet tall. On the other side, she saw a hut on the edge of the forest. Emerging from the hut was (Could it be?) a giant with the shaggiest hair Tess had ever seen. She reminded herself that she'd lend him Kate's hair straightener sometime. If Kate had managed to get it past Lori like Tess had.
Tess put her book away, and breathed deeply. Landing was her least favourite part of the flight. Now, where was that chewy?
