Chapter 5
The next morning the trio awoke from where they lay inside the plush purple sleeping bags on the floor of the girl's dormitory. Kay yawned, stretching her arms over her head. She sat up, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the light in the room. Lexine and Erin were still sleeping along with the rest of the girls and Kay took this to her great advantage. She stood, smoothing the wrinkles out of her shirt and cleared her throat. "GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Everyone in the room screamed and shot up in bed, tossel-haired and sleepy-eyed. Hermione glared at the psi-mage from her four-poster. "Do you MIND?" she asked nastily. Kay sniggered. "Good morning to you too! Cute hair by the way." Hermione rolled her eyes. Kay then grinned down at Erin and Lexine, who were also glaring at her. "Hehe...woke you up, didn't I?"
They grumbled inaudibly under their breaths and began the process of getting ready for the day. Uniforms were provided for Kay, Erin and Lexine who had asked Dumbledore for permission to attend classes. "I am NOT wearing a skirt!" Lexine snapped. "I'll wear the guy's uniform but I am not wearing a skirt...it's either pants or I'll go how I am."
Kay lifted the skirt and then preceeded to chase the Wild mage around the dormitory with it. "Noooooo!" Lexine cried.
"Hehehehehe..."
VOOSH! Kay cried out and jumped back. Lexine shot two fireballs out of her hands, burning the woolen skirt to a crisp. Hermione watched in awe as Kay held the remaining ashes of the skirt in her hands. The psi mage glared at Lexine. "Oh yeah?" she raised her hands in the air and suddenly a grey thunder cloud moved over above Lexine's head and rain began to pour down on the Wild mage. "KAY!"
"Stop that!" Hermione snapped. "You're going to get us all into trouble!"
Kay raised an eyebrow at the witch and then turned off the water works. "Geeze...okay, okay."
So a boy's uniform was provided for Lexine, but Erin wore the skirt. Kay smirked. "I'm not wearing either. I don't give a crap about uniforms. If you two want to look like morons, that's fine. But I'm not."
"Everybody dresses like this," said Erin haughtily. "the only one who'll look like a moron is you."
Lexine gave Erin a high five as the two girls stalked past the shocked psi- mage and down the stairs to the common room. Kay joined them moments later, bouncy and cheerful as though nothing had ever happeend upstairs. They met Harry and Ron who were coming out of the boy's dormitory and they walked down the Great Hall together. Hermione didn't follow them, however. They reached the Gryffindor table and sat down...it was only now that Kay realized with a start at how hungry she was. Once the rest of the school arrived, the course schedules were passed out. Harry and Ron compared there schedules and Kay leaned forward. "So what class do you guys have first?" she asked. Harry looked at her.
"Transfiguration. Why? Are you joining us?"
"I thought you weren't students," Ron added.
Hermione set the milk container down a lot harder than she meant to, but Kay ignored that.
"Hey Macarena girl." Oliver Wood approached the table and a dreamy expression appeared once more on Lexine's face.
"Morning," said Kay as the Quidditch captain took a seat. Lexine immediately jumped up and took the empty chair beside him. "Hi," she said, leaning her elbows on the table and her chin in her palm. Wood nodded. "Hullo." he looked at the staff table and then looked down. "Ah...excellent...course schedules."
"Hullo!"
Kay cried out and whirled around to see two identical faces looking right at her. "I don't believe we've met--I'm Fred and that's my twin brother George. Weasley."
"Ron's brothers?" asked Kay, nodding politely.
Fred or George nodded. "Yep. We meant to congratulate you on a smashing entrance but you were in bed before we got a chance."
"Oh...well, thanks...I guess." Kay blinked before turning around to face forward again. "Mind if we sit?" George asked.
"Sure...go ahead."
The twins sat down. "So..." began Fred. "Why are you here?"
Kay shrugged. "No reason...just to see if I could."
"Could what?"
"You're probing," Kay warned. "I don't like being asked a billion questions if you don't mind."
"Sorry..."
Soon food appeared and everyone began to eat. Eventually the initial shock of seeing two identical, very cute twin boys, wore off and Kay began chatting with them. Kay took a pancake and laughed. "I could get used to this." Before she knew it, she found that Fred and George were almost as mischevious as she was. "You want to open up a joke shop?" Kay asked, curiously.
Fred nodded. "Yep. You should see some of the cool stuff we invented..."
