Korean Pearl: Seriously, seeing your reviews just makes my day! (sniff sniff) That is the first time someone has put their fav quotes from the chapter in a review! I feel so special!!

Any ways I was wondering a few things. What do you think about the snippet' from a few chappies back? Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Also, I'm wondering what you thought of Alan the celery says remark.

I reread the chapter eight and I agree that the slap was quite sudden, but that was only partly my fault. See, MANY moths ago, eyes of smoke came up this idea, and we started to write it. Now, we recorded it in a little diary, until it was filled with Marie's adventures. We moved onto diary after diary, devouring every page. Because eyes of smoke's computer is broken and not internet accessible, it falls to me, Eyes of Forest to type and severely edit the first few chapters. I didn't know how else for the fight to start.... if you only saw the illegible things I saw (shudder) Oh! Look at me babble!

Eyes of Forest:-- yes. Woot.

Note: I wasn't sure of the entrance thingy for Ravenclaw, so I made it a tapestry!

Chapter 10- Marie Hates Mondays
The carriage ride was over quickly and they strode into the Great Hall. It was hard to dwell on anything but happy thoughts as Marie looked around. Students laughing, hugging, and greeting each other.

With a sigh Marie sat down at the Ravenclaw table, and Kandi and Zaurie sat on either side. As McGonagall strode into the hall with the stool and Sorting Hat, the students fell almost completely silent. The hat broke into song, but Marie tuned it out. The only thing she could hear was her thoughts. He likes me! He likes me! they screamed.

Suddenly, those around her broke into applause and Marie knew the song had ended. McGonagall began reading names off a scroll.
Abbott, Hannah! she called. The hat paused for a moment and declared
and down, down the list. Soon, Marie heard,
Malfoy, Draco! The hat barely touched his head before it bellowed, and Marie wasn't surprised. A few more kids then, Potter, Harry! The room fell so silent that you could almost hear everyone blinking. Then the whispers erupted.
Harry Potter? The Harry Potter?Potter, did she say? The hat sat on his for quite some time. It finally roared,
The Gryffindor table exploded with applause. The last kids were sorted.

Albus Dumbledore had got to his feet. He was beaming at his students, his arms open wide, as if nothing could have pleased him more than to see them all there.
Welcome! he said. Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!

He sat back down. Everybody clapped and cheered. Marie found the golden plates in front of her heaped with food. After they'd eaten until they felt they were about to burst, Dumbledore stood once more.
And now, bedtime. Off you trot!

They trudged off to bed, sleepy and full of food. Marie arrived at the tapestry. The prefect said t he password, and the it flew open. Marie managed to change her clothes and stagger into bed muttering Good night and falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow with a smile on her face.

Marie? Marie! Wake up! You'll miss breakfast! Kandi prodded the next morning. Lightning fast, Marie was ready.
Some dream you were having, Zaurie commented.
asked Marie, puzzled.
Yeah! You were muttering You like me, you really like me!' exclaimed Kandi. Marie realized what her dream was about last night as quickly said,
Uh... Well I always wanted to be an actress?Uhhhh huh. said Zaurie , still not buying it. You were also saying something like George is the nicest, most handsome-'Oookay, that's enough of that! Marie interrupted. Hey! What's that over there?!Marie. Stop changing the sub- Kandi was cut off.
Let's go to breakfast! exclaimed Marie loudly.

Marie managed to wolf down a piece of toast before she was sprinting to Herbology.
I hate Mondays, she muttered. When she reached the greenhouses, she saw that it was full of Hufflepuffs.
said Marie helpfully.
Oh, dear, that's the third Ravenclaw today. Didn't you see the notice, dear? You switched classes. You're at History of Magic right now! said Professor Sprout. Marie contained a groan and took a deep breath.
Thanks!' she said as she took off back to the castle. I hate Mondays. she muttered.

Binns didn't even notice that she came in. Marie took a seat beside Kandi.
Where have you been?! Kandi hissed.
At Herbology! Marie hissed back.
said Kandi, a look of dawning apprehension on her face.
'No' you said, go to Herbology' you said! Marie said.
Zaurie whispered from behind Marie.
I think they heard you! replied Marie. She looked at her ghost of a teacher. He was still going on about some wizard called Grindelwald. But the entire class was staring.

OK! So, I was wrong. This isn't my fav chapter, the NEXT one is. It seems they were divided differently than I thought..... anywho. A prize to anyone who can tell me who Grindelwald is! End Day 3 of the accursed thing called school!

Remember: Stay on the sane train!
