chapter 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!
"Thank heavens that's over! My legs were getting cramped!" About one hour and fifty chocolate frogs later, the students walked off of the train and into King's Crossing. "You think your legs were cramped? Try having one-hundred pounds of girlfriend on your legs for an hour and a half!" "Excuse me?" Megan playfully punched him on the arm. "You're not supposed to talk about a lady's weight." "Don't worry, I didn't say your real weight." He replied. "You weigh one-fifteen. Remember?" At that she jumped on his back and beat his head repeatedly.
"DOG-PILE!!!!!!!" A huge mass of voices shouted. "AHHHHHH!!!!"
Megan had just enough time to see that it was her brothers shouting before they piled themselves onto herself and Snape. "Wait a minute." She said to herself, digging through the mass of squirming bodies. "This feels a tad lighter, about… one-hundred-seventy pounds lighter." She was correct. Her oldest brother, Chase, was leaning against a brick post. He was obviously not pleased. His rather long, light blond, hair fell across his face, hiding an unpleasant grimace.
"Mefan… felp!!!!!" Servius' muffled screams came out of the large pile of brothers. "Oh crud!" Megan reached into the pile and grabbed a hand at random. "Nope, wrong!" She said as she threw aside a small blond she just pulled out of the mound. "Wait… wait… now I got it!" Megan pulled Servius out of the heap. "Are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine." He said as he dusted off his shirt staggering forward a bit.
"Megan!" Megan's mom rushed to her and hugged her daughter. "Hello again, Servius." She let Megan out of the tremendous hold. "Yeah, long time no see, kiddo!" Megan's dad trotted up to the three, much like Megan would do. He wrapped Snape in a headlock and ruffled his hair with his fist. "Dad! DAD! Stop, you're strangling him!" Megan pulled her boyfriend's head free, again. "Sorry." Her dad straitened Snape's messed up hair.
"BOYS! FRONT AND CENTER!" Jack barked at his sons. They all rushed into an orderly line. (Like they can do anything orderly?) They saluted and stood at perfect attention. Chase slowly followed, making his presence well known by deliberately taking his time and asserting his discontent. "Now that everybody is here, CHASE, greet Megan and Servius NOW!" "HELLO, MEGAN, SNAPE." They said in unison. "NOW TO THE CAR! FALL OUT! MARCH!!!!!!!!!" The line of boys turned on their heels and marched out of Kings Crossing.
"Ummm… car?" Servius looked at Megan, confused. "Right. That's true. Ya'll don't have technology here. Ya see, in America, everybody new about magic. Muggles new about magic, too. Everyone just lived together. Sure there were special schools for magic folk, but magic was considered more of a talent then a secret birthright. It was almost like… WHISTLING! That's a good analogy… or is it a simile?"
"Whistling… how's it like whistling?" Snape asked. "It's just like a fact of life. Some people can do it, some can't." "So what does that have to do with cars?" "Muggles new about magic, and wizards had technology." Megan answered. "So… what's a car?" He was choc-full of questions about this interesting contraption called a car. "It's a… hmmm… what is a car… how to describe it? A car is a transportation thing. It runs on gasoline by means of a complicated motor doo-hickey."
