9-5
Athena, that owl Leila gave me, is really quite a brat of a bird, but she's cute, all the same. I still like my other pets better, of course, since I've had them for ages, before Mom died. I miss Mom so much. Sometimes I think Leila and I were meant to be friends; our Moms died on the same day. Not on the same year, though.
Ugh. I have Potions class next. At least it's with the Ravenclaws... Jemi
"Hello, Jemi, shall we down?"
Jemi could've sworn she'd jumped a mile. "Of course, Leila. That's what the tables and chairs are for," she said, and said down promptly.
"I was being polite again," muttered Leila, but her words were lost as Professor Snape stomped into the classroom.
"Open your Potions books to page 1059," Snape ordered, and had it been any other professor, the class would have stared at him in disbelief. But, as it was Snape, the children simply opened their books to the page and were glad that the potion looked easy enough, for a page in the thousands, anyway. It was easy, anyway, until Snape said, "You will be searching for these ingredients outside yourselves. You will have three days for this task. On the fourth day, if you do not have all the ingredients, you will be in dire trouble. We will be making the potions that day."
"Yes, Professor Snape," said the class in unison.
"Now, come outside with me. No talking."
-I can't find this ingredient anywhere, - thought Jemi, sighing. –It's impossible. He wants us to find dandelion milk, but there are no dandelions anywhere! –
Jemi put her hand to her head, exasperated. –Duh! Athena! Snape won't notice her, because she's small, and doesn't have a gold talon, like my other owl. –
Jemi glanced around- good, Snape wasn't paying any attention to her; he was instead sneering at a pair of fighting Ravenclaws. Jemi whistled Athena's special whistle that would bring the owl to her.
"Yes, Jemiana?"
Jemi turned to Athena. "It's Jemi," she corrected, "not Jemiana. Jemiana is my full name. Nobody calls me Jemiana."
"Yes, well, Jemi, what do need of me?" Athena asked.
"Can you find something for me, Athena?" Jemi said.
"Of course, Jemi, what do you need?"
"Dandelion milk," replied Jemi. "Dandelions, actually, but what I need is the milk inside of them."
"Right you are. I'll be sure to find some. I'll be back soon." Athena flew off.
"That's a relief," muttered Jemi. She glanced around and began searching for the next ingredient on her list—monkswood. Easy enough, for Snape.
Saturday, 9-6
I can't believe it! It's the fifth day of school, and we still haven't found out who it is! He or she wasn't at the first day feast, and Dumbledore didn't tell us who was supposed to be there. Well, we'll find out Monday, our first DADA lesson. Hermione
Hermione stretched, got dressed, and ran down to the dormitory. Ron and Harry weren't there. In fact, the entire common room was empty, except for Trevor, Neville's toad. She glanced at her watch and saw why—it was seven in the morning. Nobody woke up on Saturdays until eight or so, seven thirty.
Hermione sighed, and then grinned. The library was always open. She could take her first trip to the library of the year! -I can't wait!- she thought, racing out of the room. It was her goal to read every book in the library before the end of her last year.
"It's not fair!" Hermione complained to Harry and Ron, an hour and a half later. "The library was closed!"
Ron glanced at Harry and sighed. "I still say that was has mental problems," he muttered at Hermione ran off. Harry shook his head, and the two, exasperated, ran to catch up with their annoyed friend.
Chickabiddy baby—Sorry about the paragraphs. I think I fixed them. Yes, Jemi can talk to animals. I added that into the third chapter after your review. That is explained more in the prologue I wrote. I picked August 5th because that happens to be Leo. Thanks for reviewing.
