Chapter 8

Jess awoke the next morning at about 11 o'clock. It was Saturday, so there were no classes. She stretched and peered over at Cara's bed. She giggled at the sight. Cara was sprawled out on the bed, her covers on the floor, and she could hear the faint shrieking of the Murderdolls front man, Wednesday 13. "Hey! Wake up!!!" she yelled. There was no reaction. Jess sighed and walked over to Cara. Jess shook her and said, "Get up!" Cara stirred, looked up at Jess, gave her the finger, and pulled the pillow from under her head, hit Jess in the face with it, and then covered her own head with it. "That's it!" Jess exclaimed. She walked into the bathroom, grabbed the water glass that was in there, and proceeded to fill it up with cold tap water. She then walked out with the cup and ripped the pillow and headphones off Cara and dumped the glass of water on Cara's head. Cara shot up. "Bitch!!!" she screamed, her hair and face sopping wet. Jess laughed and dropped the cup. Then she saw Cara getting up with a mischievous grin on her face. "You're dead," she said. Cara picked up the cup and ran to the bathroom. She quickly filled it with cold water, but just as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Jess, running for her life into the common room. Cara ran after her, still planning on dumping the water on Jess.

Jess ran into the common room, screaming, "Shit! Krysta, Blair hide me!" They along with, Draco, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Marcus Flint all looked at her confused. Then they saw Cara jump down the staircase. "You fucking whore!" she said, but with humor in her voice. "Move out of my way," Cara ordered Krysta and Blair. They did so, and Cara dumped the water all over Jess, as Jess squealed in reaction to the freezing water. Everyone snickered at the sight of the two soaked girls. Jess grabbed a pillow off the couch and whipped it at Cara. But Cara ducked and the pillow went flying into Krysta's head. Jess gasped and said, "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I was aiming for Cara." Krysta smirked and threw the pillow back at Jess, not realizing that Cara had stood back up, and hit Cara right in the back of her head. Draco started cracking up. "Oh you think that's funny huh?" Cara asked, not expecting a response. She picked up the pillow, and whipped it at him. It hit him right in the face. She flashed him a cocky grin. His laughter stopped, and he had a surprised look on his face. He quickly snapped out of it though, and threw it back at her. It was complete chaos from there. Everyone in the common room started to wrestle around and throw pillows at each other. All except Pansy.

Just then, Blair threw a pillow at Marcus. He ducked and it hit Pansy right in the head. "Oops. Sorry Pansy," Blair said giggling. "Fuck you!!" Pansy shouted. "This is ridiculous! These stupid American bitches have only been here for one day, and you are all chummy with them!" Then she stomped out of the common room. The fun all stopped after that. Jess and Cara looked guiltily at the floor. "Don't let it get to you," Marcus said. "She's just jealous because you two are already better liked than her." Krysta chimed in. "Uh, yeah," Cara said. "Well, we better go get dressed if you guys are gonna show us around the castle," Jess said to Blair and Krysta. "Alright. We'll wait for you down here and then go to the great hall for lunch. Then we'll give you the grand tour!" Blair replied excitedly. The two girls ran up to their dorm.

About an hour later, they were ready. Jess had a black muscle tank on that said 'Sum 41' on it in red letters and a pair of khaki cargo flares. She has her hair in pigtails and blue eye shadow with darker blue eyeliner on. She had a pair of black cargo boots on with happy bunny shoelaces in them. Cara had a hot pink tank top with a long sleeved black fishnet shirt over it. The fishnet hooked around her thumbs and her fingernails were painted black. She had a pair of baggy black pants on with about 6 chains hooked onto the belt loops on her left side. She had a black pair of Vans on with the Muppet Animal on the shoelaces. She had her hair up in a high ponytail with her two red streaks framing her face. She had on thick black eyeliner and black eye shadow, and blue mascara, which looked really cool.

"Ready?" Krysta asked them. They nodded the four girls walked down to the great hall. When they entered, they saw Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny. Hermione noticed them and waved. "We'll be back in a minute," Jess said to Krysta and Blair. It wasn't Hermione and the others who caught her attention however; it was none other than the gorgeous Oliver Wood. Jess and Cara walked over to the Gryffindor table, without noticing the staring eyes of their fellow Slytherins. "Hey. Sup?" Cara said to her Gryffindor friends. "Nothing too much," Ron replied. "We're trading Wizard Cards," Harry said. "Umm, what are those?" Cara asked, looking at Jess to see of she knew, But Jess' attention was on something else, or someone else. She was smiling at Wood, who had greeted her warmly. He was introducing her to some of his friends. "So, do you play quidditch?" he asked her. She furrowed her brow in confusion. "Play what?" she asked. "You don't know what quidditch is? I'll have to teach you some time. You know, I'm the captain for the Gryffindor team," he stated with a grin. Back to Cara, Ron and Harry now. "Hey, they move! That's fucking cool!" Cara said as they showed her some of their Wizard Cards. "Yeah, you get them in chocolate frog packages." Ginny said. "Cool," Cara replied.

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table, Pansy was gossiping with the other 2nd years about Cara and Jess. "They just got here and they act like they run the place! Especially that Cara girl," she said as she pointed to her black eye from the fight yesterday. "Why did you let them go and talk to the stupid Mudblood and her friends Krysta?" Millicent Bulstrode asked accusingly. "Hey, leave her alone Mil. What the hell was she supposed to do? Drag them away?" Blair shot back. Mil rolled her eyes and started to talk to Pansy. "Hi guys," Cara and Jess said as they made their way to the table. "What the hell do you think you were doing over there?" Draco asked snidely. "Huh?" Jess asked confused. "You can't go over there and talk to bloody Gryffindors when you're a Slytherin! Especially not Potty and his friends," Draco informed them. "And why would that be?" Cara asked. "Because all Slytherins hate Gryffindors stupid. We're rival houses." Pansy answered. "Fuck you Pansy. Don't even start with me you dumb bitch, before I give you another black eye to match your left." Cara said. Draco quirked an eyebrow and smirked, however he was a bit disappointed that he wouldn't get to see Cara beat Pansy's ass again. He chuckled when he thought about the fight. "Well sorry. It's not like anyone told us th-," Jess started to say but Cara interrupted her. "And it's not like it matters. They're our friends and you're just gonna have to live with that." Cara snapped. "Whatever. Let's just drop it and eat," Blair said.
