YAY! TWO MORE REVIEWS! THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL UP TO FOUR! Isn't this sad? Yes, it is. Do I care? No, not really, BECAUSE I HAVE TWO MORE REVIEWS! WOO!!!!!!! But, you know what number I like better than four? Five :-) Oh, and if you think there's not enough fluff, I'm going to add some very soon. So beware, you non-fluff people.
Chapter 15
The Odds headed to Transfiguration together, and on the way there, they passed Mrs. Norris, who was meowing the Meow Mix theme song and staring at everyone menacingly. As if this wasn't odd enough, further down the hallway, Filch was lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce on some unsuspecting student. As the girls passed him, they distinctly heard him singing Papercut by Linkin Park.
"Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head…"
"Ok, that has to be the scariest thing that I've ever seen," said Tiffany in a shocked voice as they walked quickly past Filch.
"Eggs," Rachelle agreed.
When the girls made it to Transfiguration, they chose seats close together. As soon as they sat down, Ron and Hermione walked into the classroom, looking very mad at each other, and sat down on opposite sides of the room.
"Ze ba," said Rachelle.
"Yes, I agree," said Tiffany.
As soon as the whole class was seated, Professor McGonagall waved her wand at a piece of chalk and it began to scribble across the board: Most of the teachers are having…complications…with their voice, today. Therefore, you will all be assigned bookwork in most of your classes. In this class, please turn to page 173 and attempt to transfigure all of the items up to page 197. Any items you fail to transfigure in class will be your homework.
A girl named Jessica Fergus raised her hand. Professor McGonagall nodded at her, and she asked, "What sort of complications are you having?"
Professor McGonagall scowled, waved her wand at the piece of chalk again, and it began writing something underneath the first message: Complications that make it difficult for us to teach our classes. NOW GET TO WORK!
Everyone quickly opened their books and got to work. After a few minutes, Rachelle raised her hand because the spell she was supposed to use to turn a shoe into a box had gone horribly wrong, and the shoe was now a PURPLE BAG! Professor McGonagall ignored Rachelle, so she began waving her hand frantically in the air in an attempt to get her attention. Finally, Rachelle gave up, jumped on top of the desk, and motioned Bita to do the same. The background music for Faint by Linkin Park began to play from nowhere.
Bita:
I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
Cause you're all that I got
Rachelle:
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage any more
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Bita:
I am a little bit insecure
A little unconfident
Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes it don't make sense
I am what you never want to say
But I never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
Cause you're all that I got
Rachelle:
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage any more
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
YOU
HEAR ME OUT NOW
YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT
RIGHT NOW
HEAR ME OUT NOW
YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT
RIGHT NOW
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I WON'T BE IGNORED
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage any more
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Professor McGonagall stared at Rachelle and Bita on the desks, blinked, and waved her wand at the piece of chalk for a third time: Do you have a question, Rachelle?
Rachelle and Bita got calmly off the desk, and Rachelle said in a slightly hoarse voice, "What should I do with that bag?" She waved her hand at the purple bag that was sitting menacingly on her desk.
Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at the purple bag and it turned back into a shoe with a small pop.
