Chapter 3: Is this Normal?! (uh- oh)
Disclaimer: me no own. dang.
A/N: Whoo! Whoo! I got reviews! Yay! Yay! Thanks! Thanks! Read Please! Whoo! Whoo! ::Dances around the room::
Back in the Common Room, I had locked myself in the boys seventh year bathroom. I stared at my reflection. Not a bad idea, I secretly thought, flexing a bicep. My reflection laughed aloud. Yes. My reflection was laughing at me.
"You are a lost cause, my boy," it said in an oddly familiar accent.
"What?" I asked it (me?) skeptically.
"You'll never be normal, like the rest of them."
"Huh?" Partially afraid of myself, perhaps I was going crazy, I took a cautious step backwards. The mirror laughed maniacly, but after a second or two, it resided to my normal state.
Letting out a deep breath, I placed both of my hands on the side of the sink and leaned in close to get a better look at myself.
"Be normal," I ordered myself. As if that would magically make me, dare I say it? 'Normal.'
"Normal, Oliver. You've got to be normal!" I hissed at the mirror. My head began to swim. Was talking to yourself normal?
"Normal, normal, normal," I sang to myself. I spun around, dancing like the wild Scottsman I truly was. I was doing a jig in the bathroom. "Nooooormal, normal, normal!"
When I felt a droplet of water underneath my foot and almost broke my neck with a fall, I stopped my dance. I wasn't Brittany Spears after all.
"Be normal-"
Knock. Knock, knock. I jumped with fright.
"Oliver, what are you doing in there? Putting on your face?" I heard obnoxious laughter. What was Fred (or was it George? - No- George snorts) doing in the seventh year room?
I swung open the door before Fred could get suspicious. The twins were very crafty wizards, and it wouldn't have surprised me if they bewitched the mirror to replay everything that went on in front of it to them.
"Nothing," I said calmly.
"What was that?" Mockingly, he cupped his left ear and pretended to be listening for something. "I didn't quite catch that, Wood. Did you say normal?"
My face colored.
"Wood, we need to have a little talk. Man to man," he said, dragging me over to a nearby bed and sitting on the edge of it. "Now, I know that you don't like to get personal, but I'm forcing you to. Something's up, so spill!"
"Nothing is up-"
"Something is definitely up when I catch my quidditch captain singing to himself to be normal in the bathroom. Now, what's going on?" He asked forcefully.
"I... I just... Let me put it this way. I kind of came to my senses this morning, about quidditch, er something. And I had an epiphany, I think that's what they call it. But anyway, I looked into the future, and do you know where I found myself?" I said. Deep down, I hadn't meant to let that much information slip. But I figured that I could get away with it without letting Fred know about my earlier confrontation.
"Where?"
"On the quidditch field."
"Well duh," he stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"But there's one problem. All I am is Quidditch. Its not normal. Before I can get back to that quidditch field, I have to be normal!" I said, pounding my fists on the bed.
"Calm down, Wood. You want to be normal?" He asked with a mischievious glint in his eyes.
I nodded.
"Then you've come to the right wizard," he boasted proudly. "I- well rather George and I, will show you how to be noooooooormallllllll-" he sang shrilly.
"Really?" I asked.
"Sure. For a small price, that is..."
Uh-oh.
"You have to do everything we say. Deal?"
Uh- oh. My life in some one else's hands? Is that normal?
"Deal." Bloody mouth.
Uuuuh- oooooh.
A/n: I didn't want to get chased down by wolves, so I decided that I should update. In case anyone got lost, here's a recap (I find this so amusing): Wood was singing to himself in the bathroom. Hehe. I just like imagining that. That's it for the recap. And in reality, I didn't put the little 'recap' in here in case you got lost, I just like typing that he was singing in the bathroom. It makes him that much more adorable. This explains why I'm soo not noooooooooooooooorrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll!
Oh, review, por favor!
