other words, I kinda own my friends: P).
*~*~*~*
Herman dashed out of the common room and off to the secret place where him and Emily had kept the potion brewing, which was a small little place under a manhole cover in the toilets. (A/N Bad placement I know but yeah, it the best thing I could think of! I don't even know if those things are called manholes).
Herman found the spot; made sure no-one was around and lifted the manhole. Luckily for him it wasn't that heavy. Once with the lid off, Herman leaped down inside and trotted over to the cauldron holding his potion.
Herman grinned happily then grabbed a glass jar in his mouth and dipped it in the potion and collected enough for his transformation. He took it out of the cauldron and inside the glass jar was the potion, finally ready for use.
"Let's go do it," Herman whispered and jumped out of the manhole, put the lid back on then set off in a run back to the Gryffindor common room.
"I've got it Emily! Just enough," Herman panted as he came bursting into the common room.
Emily, who was still sitting on the step no longer holding her side, got up and took the glass jar from his mouth and stared into it. Herman gulped silently, hoping he had grabbed enough.
"Good job cat," Emily said and picked him off the ground, "Ready to transform?"
Herman nodded happily. Finally, after months of waiting, he was going to be able to turn back into the human he was meant to be.
Emily took him up to her dormitory and locked the door. Herman started pacing the room his nerves running wild. Emily took out the piece of paper with the recipe on it, and read to make sure they had done everything.
"Everything's all ready," Emily said reading over it, "Just need to add the last of the powder then all you need to do is drink."
"Does it say if it tastes bad?" Herman asked watching Emily add the powder.
"Don't think that's what you should be worried about, what about if it goes wrong? You sure you want to go through with this?" Emily asked nervously bending down to his level.
"I'm certain. I refuse to spend the rest of my days as a worthless cat," Herman said snatching the bottle from her.
He stared at the mixture then gulped hard. He took one last look at Emily, who looked as nervous as he felt. Herman looked back at the potion and said, "Well, here goes nothing."
Herman took another look at Emily and said, "If I don't make it, I want you to know I'm very grateful for all the things you did."
"Don't say that! You're not going to die!" Emily screamed shutting her eyes and putting her hands over her ears.
Herman grabbed the bottle in his paw, put his head back, opened his mouth and poured the potion into his cat mouth. Herman swallowed the foul tasting potion. He could feel the potion go down, the heat was so strong. Herman let out a scream and closed his eyes tightly.
Emily, now kneeling next to her bed, opened her eyes a little and saw a great bright light fill up the entire room. In the center of the light, Emily saw Herman's little cat shadow grow, and grow until it looked like a person shadow.
As the blinding light grew brighter, Emily closed her eyes and wished for the best. There was one last blast of light then the room went back its normal dull colour.
Emily breathed heavily and reopened her eyes, little by little and when they were nearly fully open, before he stood a real life person who once, she suspected, was Herman. Emily stood up slowly, still staring at the person.
"Emily, we did it! I'm back!" said for the first time, Herman's human version, Nick.
Emily grinned and hugged the new Herman and whispered in his ear, "I can't believe it's really you."
*~*~*~*
After months of preparation, the talent show was now only hours away. The whole school got the day off, most of them discussing what they were expecting to see tonight. But for Ginny, Paul and Rhys today was a day for last minute practices.
"Tonight's the night guys," Paul said packing up one of the guitars.
"Yeah," Rhys said nervously his hands shaking all around the place.
"Paul, let's pull out!" Ginny just suddenly shouted out.
"What?" Paul asked whipped around.
"Ginny you're a genius! I agree" Rhys said jumping up and down his hand in the air.
"Guys, I thought we've been through this? Just because Tom's gone doesn't mean we can't win," Paul informed.
"He was a big part of this band and without him we aren't what we used to be," Ginny said sadly staring down at the floor.
"But-,"
"Surprise guys," Laura screamed entering the classroom with a plate filled with cookies that was closely followed by Steph and Lauren.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ginny asked running up and hugging her three friends.
"We came to wish you guys luck for tonight," Laura said smiling.
"And we bought you cookies," Steph said trying not to make eye contact with Rhys.
"Thanks," Ginny said taking the cookies of Steph, "Do you reckon we have a chance of winning?"
"Of course you guys do! You guys rock!" Steph shouted starting to blush a little.
"Thanks Steph," Rhys said grinning over at her.
Steph finally meet his eyes and the two just stared at each other from either side of the room. Steph felt herself go bright red and turned away quickly to hide her blushing. Rhys smiled cheekily to himself and walked over to the girls.
"To bad Tom couldn't still be here though," Ginny said taking a cookie.
"Enough of Tom," Paul said also taking a cookie.
Laura stared at the floor; an idea running threw her mind. Laura smiled to herself then turned towards the door, about to leave. Ginny looked at her puzzled, as well as Steph.
"I've got an idea, you'll see," Laura said and quickly left the room.
"Her and her ideas will get her in trouble one day," Steph said shaking her head.
Rhys chuckled and walked over and stood next to Steph. Steph began to blush deeper red as she felt Rhys' arm brush up against hers. Steph took a quick glance up at him and caught his eye. They both ended up turning away blushing.
"We better get going, the performers had to meet at the Great Hall for some 'discussions' as they put it," Paul said swallowing his cookie.
"Oh, well, I'll try to catch up with Laura, see you guys later, come on Loz," Steph said smiling sweetly at them and quickly dashed out of the room Lauren right behind her.
Ginny giggled and said, "Steph is so cute when she runs."
"Ginny, you've already got a boyfriend," Rhys said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Oh, knock it off you!" Ginny said and playfully slapped him on the arm.
"It's OK, Gin, we understand if you getting feelings for her," Paul said joining in on the fun.
"Yeah, you guys are SO funny," Ginny said sarcastically and put her arms around both the boys' shoulders.
"We are aren't we?" Rhys said and the three of them walked out of the classroom, still bagging Ginny.
*~*~*~*
Ron and Hermione had just gone for a walk outside and were coming back when they passed the Great Hall that was beautifully decorated for the talent show tonight. Hermione grabbed hold of Ron's arm tightly as she admired the decorations.
"Aren't they beautiful Ron?" Hermione asked admiring the brightly coloured baubles.
"Yeah, there great," Ron said sourly not even bothering to look at them.
"Don't they remind you of someone you know?" Hermione said sneakily waiting for him to give her a compliment.
"Not really," Ron said as they began to climb the stairs.
"What about me? Don't I remind you of them?" Hermione asked pleading.
Ron looked back at all the beautiful decorations shining brightly in the sunlight. He thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and looked back ahead again. Hermione whimpered and trotted after Ron.
"I can't wait to go tonight can you?" Hermione asked grabbing his arm again.
"Yeah, I wanna see Ginny chicken out on stage," Ron said with a chuckle.
Hermione smiled and gave a little giggle at Ron's statement. She grabbed hold of his arm with both her hands and pulled him close to her. She smiled sweetly up at him.
"I just can't wait to watch the whole show in your arms," Hermione said laying her head on his arm.
"Who said I was taking you?" Ron asked stopping in his tracks.
Hermione raised her head off his arm and looked up at him hoping she didn't hear what she thought she just heard. Hermione let out a short laugh then started pulling him up the stairs.
"Don't be silly Ron, of course you're taking me," Hermione said laughing.
"But, I want to watch the show, by myself tonight," Ron said looking up at the ceiling.
"Why? Don't you want to be seen with me?" Hermione asked pulling a puppy dog face.
"I just want to watch the show by myself, it's that sort of thing I like to do alone," Ron said scratching his head.
"Fine, go by yourself! See what I care!" Hermione said and stormed off the stairs smiling, expecting Ron to follow her and beg for her to come with him.
"Hermione wait," Ron called to her.
Hermione grinned to herself and blushed a little. She turned around and tried to act as thought she was still angry at him. Ron scratched his chin and looked at her.
"You could go with Lavender," Ron said smiling at his bright idea.
Hermione glared at him, whipped around, her hair going everywhere, and continued storming up the stairs away from Ron. Ron watched her go and pulled a face.
'God, she's got an attitude,' Ron thought and decided to walk back down the stairs.
*~*~*~*
After getting bored of walking around the grounds aimlessly, Tom decided to go to the library and at least to read a good book or something. He walked in the library and found all the nerds from his year busy studying around the biggest table they could find.
"Tom, come over her for a sec," called one of the nerds, Toby.
Tom walked over to them, making sure no-one he knew was anywhere in sight. He walked over next to him and saw that they were actually working on who they thought was going to win the talent show.
"See Thomas," said a blonde haired girl Cindy, "We believe that you and your band will win."
Cindy blushed while she looked at Tom. Tom smiled weakly at her which had her blush a deeper red. Tom had found out last year that Cindy had the biggest crush on him. Tom thanked them and told them he had quit the band.
"Tom why? You were the one that made that band what it was," Toby said shocked.
"Sorry guys. See you later," Tom said shrugging and walked away casually.
"Tom!"
Tom gulped. He'd been caught hanging around with the nerds. His life was over, it was doomed for life. Tom turned around and shouted, "It's not what it looked like I swear!"
But as he turned, he noticed it was only Laura who what it looked like, was covered in sweat and was red in the face. She ran up to Tom, disturbing most of the library.
"Tom, man, I've like been looking for you everywhere," Laura said panting.
"I've been everywhere," Tom said beckoning her to seat down at the table.
She sat down on the chair and Tom sat down on the chair next to her, wondering why she was so busy looking for him. Laura gave out a little laugh, finding this situation a bit uncomfortable.
"I heard, about you leaving," Laura said breaking the silence between them.
"Huh? What you say?" Tom asked snapping out of his trance.
"Ginny told me about how you left their band," Laura said more clearly.
"Oh, yeah I left," Tom said nodding.
"Tom that's just what I said!" Laura said putting her head in her hand.
"Yeah I know," Tom said stupidly.
Laura looked up at him and laughed. Tom hadn't changed one bit, he was still his stupid, goofy self. Laura smiled. It made her feel happy to see that Tom was still his old self after everything that had happened.
"Why Tom, you were a great guitarist, I mean you are," Laura said.
"That's what everyone keeps telling me," Tom said grumpily putting his head in his hands.
"Tom it's the truth, that's why they are telling you," Laura said grinning watching him sulk.
"Well, I can't deny that," Tom said acting full of himself.
Laura rolled her eyes. Tom always did that. Laura watched him cheering up as she spoke to him. Laura smiled to herself. She soon began thinking why she ever dumped him.
"Tom, what I really came here to say was, I think you should go tonight, as part of their band," Laura said hoping he wouldn't crack it.
"No Laura, I can't," Tom said standing up out of his seat.
"Why not? It won't kill you to do something right for once would it," Laura said standing up out of her seat as well.
"So now you think I'm useless," Tom said sounding hurt.
"Tom, that's not what I meant," Laura said staring at him.
"Well it sounded that way!" Tom yelled.
"Enough! Get out of my library or shut up!" the librarian said coming over to them.
"It's OK, I was just leaving," Tom said walking out taking one last look at Laura.
"Tom, wait up," Laura called running out after him.
"Laura, just leave me alone," Tom said closing the library door behind them.
"Tom, I'm sorry, please, just join up with them again," Laura said stopping in front of Tom.
Tom stared at her then looked away and said, "Maybe, I need to go see yah."
Laura tried stopping him but Tom continued on walking away, his head facing the floor. Laura sighed and felt her heart give a loud beat. Laura looked down at her stomach and said, "Oh you shut up too!"
*~*~*~*
The day had passed, and it was now only a few minutes before the talent show was due to start. Behind the stage, all the performers were busy doing last minute practicing and getting there costumes ready.
Over in one corner, Peter was standing with Ginny, Paul and Rhys helping them add last minute adjustments to their outfits, even though to Peter they looked great just the way they were.
Ginny walked in front of the mirror and stared at herself. She was wearing a dark pink glittery single top and a black pelted mini skirt, and on her feet were black high heel boots. Ginny looked at herself and gave a quick nod. She flicked her hair, which she left down, and turned to the boys for their opinion.
All the boys nodded and grinned, Peter shocked a little at the sight of Ginny so dressed up. Rhys took a quick in the mirror, trying to keep it short and quick. His hair was spiked up as always. He was wearing a red t- shirt with yellow writing on the front and was wearing his dark blue baggy jeans, as well as his black shoes.
Paul walked over to the mirror and shoved Rhys over aside. He had on a black t-shirt with a red skull on it and had on dark green cargo shorts and of course, he had on dark blue shoes with his shoe laces untied. Paul pulled out a necklace out of his pocket and put it around his neck.
Ginny walked back over to the mirror, and there they were, all three of them, in the mirror, ready to go on stage and perform their little asses off. Peter walked up behind them and put his arms on both Rhys' and Paul's shoulders.
"You guys will rock, don't worry," Peter said to them.
"Excuse me, you have to take you seat in the audience now," said Professor McGonagall leading Peter out.
Peter looked over his shoulder and mouthed, 'Good luck' and then he was gone. Rhys started shaking his hands and jumping on the spot. Paul was just stood there, deep in thought while all Ginny's thoughts were on wishing Tom was here.
"Sir, you're not supposed to be back there," called Professor McGonagall as a kid ran up behind the stage.
"Sorry I'm late guys,"
Ginny looked up and there he was, it was Tom, he had come after all. Paul and Rhys looked around and saw Tom too. Tom notices all three of their faces lit up with joy at the sight of him.
Ginny ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck and broke down in tears of happiness on his shoulder. Tom patted Ginny on her back and smiled over at Paul and Rhys who never looked so happy to see him in his life.
"Glad you're here Tom," Paul said grinning.
"Thanks Paul," Tom said smiling.
"Rhys, forget it," Tom said as Rhys was about to speak.
Rhys shut his mouth and grinned his usual grin and swayed side to side happily.
"What made you change your mind anyway?" Paul asked.
"Some little girl I like to call Laura," Tom said.
"So that was Laura's idea!" Ginny said clicking her fingers.
"Sssshhhh!" McGonagall hissed as the first performer went on stage.
All four of them lent against the wall and listened to 'Mash Melons' play there music. Ginny looked at Tom and smiled to herself. Things were back as they used to be, the four of them back together, forever.
