Chapter 3: Muggles

Laura blinked, and then shook her head. She was hearing things again. Maybe she had a fever? Her hand on her forehead crossed out that possibility.

"what's wrong with me?" She whispered scared. She looked over at Jake, who still had not moved a muscle, but his eyes were wide, as if he were looking at a monster.

Still scared, and knowing her next class was about to start she picked up her book bag and ran back into the building, leaving Jake behind.

Ron was amazed at how dense muggles were, he had all but announced his name to her, and she still believed that it was all in her head.

Ron mentally sighed, this was going to be more difficult then he had expected.

Laura sat down in a room similar to the last one, but not the same room, Ron wondered why muggles bothered with different rooms if they were all the same, but didn't feel ready to openly ask.

"Laura, wonker, are you all right?" Kris, a girl with short brown hair, and a less then tidy uniform, sat on the desk in front of her best friend.

"I'm alright Kris." Laura smiled at her friend, "just a little tired."

"Man you have got to stop studying like you do girl, its all this stress that's keeping you under." Kris places a hand on Laura's shoulder.

"I'll be fine, really I will." Laura shot Kris one of her award winning smiles.

Kris frowned but gave in, "Fine, but if you need anything…"

"I know I know, I'll call you." Laura started to pull out her books as the teacher walked in.

Kris went back to her seat.

"Alright, all of you read the rest of Taming of the Shrew for homework last night, Pull out your discussion questions, and we shall begin."

Lunch came sooner then Laura had expected, She picked up her bags and went into the cafeteria, her mind was full of worry, confusion.

Half of her, all day, seemed to not understand anything that was happening, it was as if she had forgotten everything she had learned, but not. She still knew everything, she was top of her class after all, but this feeling of misunderstanding was, discerning.

"Have you heard?"

"Yea, what could have happened to him?"

The cafeteria was full of whispers, gossip, as usual, Laura paid no mind. Instead she walked over to her table, with Kris and Kath.

"Hey Laura!" Kath called out, She looked exactly like Kris, but with longer hair, and makeup on. "Have you heard? Jake is outside, and he can't move! Some of the foot bal players tries to get him to move and he fell over, as if he was a statue!" she giggled, "Serves him right that bloody wanker!"

"Kath," Laura said faking shock, "Where did that language come from?"

"Oh you know, the box, the radio." She shrugged. "Anyway, after were done eating, want to go out a take a peek?"

"I have to get ready for gym, and I want to finish up the homework we got in English today." Laura explained, taking a bite of her salad.

"Oh your no fun!" Kath pouted.

"all this study will give you ulcers Laura, or even drive you mad." Kris explained, concerned.

"I'm fine, I just have a lot of things I have to do." She downed her juice and picked up her bag, "Well I'm off!" she dumped her trash into a bin and went out of the cafeteria.

She couldn't tell them, that she was the reason, the reason why the most hated, most powerful jerk in all of Stonewall high, had suddenly become the laughing stock of the very school he used to reign.

She went into the locker room deciding that a little exercise before gym wouldn't hurt her.

Ron felt he deserved a medal. No other man, he knew of, could have handled constantly seeing a naked girl like he was going to have to deal with.

Ron had decided, once he figured out that she was going to change, to mentally block his eyes from her eyes. He didn't want to be considered a pervert, but there was little room to do anything else.

Their uniforms were cute, grey sweat shorts with a grey sweat shirt, the school crest on the left side.

She was pretty agile, from what Ron could tell. She did a few flips, and aerobic exercises, she messed up a few times, but was pretty good.

She started doing cool down exercises when the rest of the class started to file in, all in uniform. They started to follow her in stretches until the teacher came in.

"I want a lap around the track outside, Go!" and he blew the whistle around his neck.

All the kids jogged silently outside, and went around the track once. Ron decided that since muggles couldn't fly, they had to perfect their ability to move on their feet.

At least this class made sense to him.

He could feel Laura getting tired, as she had done so much before class, that occasionally, he started to run for her instead, controlling her body to help her keep up with all the exercises that she had to do in class.

She was a perfectionist, just like Hermione, and he knew that if she ever found out that he was helping her, she would be pissed. But, he also knew that he had caused the worry that made her practice earlier, which would weaken her performance in class, and that she would be mad that she had to step out of class early for exhaustion. He felt that helping her was the least he could do.

When class was over Laura went straight back to the locker room and took a shower, before changing.

That was the longest work out she had ever had in school. Normally the teacher lets her stop before everyone else if she had come in early to work out, but Laura never felt tired enough. Maybe her endurance was just building.

After school, Laura avoided looking at where the large crowd of people were gathering. A feeling of guilt tugging at her, she quickly grabbed her bike and went home.

Ron felt really bad. Muggles couldn't understand things like magic. Laura was feeling bad because she felt that she did something wrong, but couldn't understand what.

He couldn't keep quiet any longer, he felt that somehow she had to know what was going on. It would drive her nuts if she continued to not understand.

Her bike jumped a hill, and Ron smirked, He kept the bike hovering above the ground for slightly longer then gravity would normally allow, but not too long. He was afraid that such a shock would scare Laura, and cause her to fall off the bike.

Merlin knew it happened to Hermione.

Tonight, Ron decided, tonight she would be informed.

Not to mention he had to pop into the Order's headquarters as well tonight, he could kill two birds with one stone, as the muggles say.
