The Power of Four
The next day everyone at the great hall was surprised by Danielle and Ian's entrance. Danielle sat down with her friends at the table.
" So…I see you and Ian have become a couple." Said Heather
Danielle smiled. " Yep! Maybe we don't need to use the polyjuice potion after all."
Jackie spat her pumpkin juice all over Danielle. " Hello! What about me? You don't see me wearing a slytherin tie do you?" she snapped angrily. " Yesterday everyone left me with their crushes and I was by myself well…there was Fiona but…friends don't leave friends!" Jackie was close to tears by that time. She couldn't be with Draco and was jealous of all her friends. She didn't mean to be that rude and she knew she was jealous but was making a lame excuse instead of admitting it.
Jackie said, "I'm leaving…I have some…herbology homework!"
Nehal said puzzled, " But Jackie we don't have any herbology homework!"
" Well I'm going to the library anyways!"
Heather yelled. " Hey Jackie can I have your blueberry muffin?"
Danielle and Nehal looked at Heather.
" What?" she said
Jackie walked up to the library. She hadn't been in the library before. No one was there because they were all eating breakfast.
Jackie walked up and down the isles and just grabbed a book without reading the tittle.
" Hey my favorite book!" said Roger Davies
Jackie looked at the cover. " Feminine flowers forever?" I didn't know…you liked that sort of stuff…"
" Well my…umm…yeah. Why aren't you at breakfast?" said Roger.
I had a fight with my friends. I just kind of blew up and I spat out all my feelings well…most of them. I was leaving the great hall, no one tried to stop me." She paused. " One of them asked if she could have my muffin! Some best friends I have!" She said sarcastically.
" What about you?" she asked suspiciously.
He would've said that he had to followed Jackie into the library but instead he said, " I had work to do."
" I see." Said Jackie
" Well you know how the Yule ball is coming up soon and…" said Roger
" And?" said Jackie
" Would you like to go with me?" asked Roger
" Oh…umm…I just remembered I have to do this thing…and I forgot about it but I'll…see you 18er (later) bye!"
" Wait." Said Roger. But Jackie was speeding her way to the doors.
Jackie decided to go to the gryffindor common room. On the way she saw a sign saying:
Yule Ball
Dec.24
4th-7th years bring a partner (the opposite sex)
Jackie thought. So this is what Roger was talking about! At least he's not gay!
" Okay so let's get this straight." Jackie said to herself. " Ravenclaw captain, a year older, asked me to this thingy. Then my heartthrob, slytherin seeker Malfoy, ignores me even though I am right in front of him. Yet people are saying he likes me. What is he playing at and whom do I go with?"
" Who ever asked you first." A familiar voice said behind her. Jackie spun around and found Nehal standing behind her.
" Are you stalking me?" she asked suspiciously.
" No that's Roger's job. I came here looking for you because that's what friends do!"
" Where are Danielle and Heather?"
" So Malfoy hasn't asked you or said anything about the Yule ball eh?" said Nehal trying to change the subject.
" I said where's Dani and Heath Heath?"
Nehal replied " Well…Heather is eating your food and Danielle is snuggling with what's his face!"
" Oh."
Nehal said, " Well if I were you I would still use the polyjuice potion to turn into Amanda and find out if there is any good behind all of that slime."
Jackie yelled " He is not a slime!"
" Who's not a slime?" said a voice behind Jackie. It was Hermione.
Jackie said, " Your mama!"
Hermione put her hands on her hips. " My mama is not slime!"
Jackie said, " Exactly that's why I'm telling Nehal that she's not slime!"
" Jackie!" Nehal yelled. " You're supposed to be on my side!"
Jackie said, " So now I'm an object?"
" What?" When did I say that?"
" No you didn't say that my butt said that!"
Hermione said, " How can your butt talk? That's physically impossible."
Jackie said, " I'm going to study!"
Hermione said, " Well that's good."
" But Jackie never studies!" replied Nehal.
Jackie ran up to her dormitory.
Hermione said, " C'mon we have to go to potions!"
Nehal said, " What about Jackie?"
" She will probably come after she studies, and that will probably be now!" said Hermione.
So Hermione and Nehal went to potions, together.
45 minutes later Jackie had not shown up for class.
Draco whispered to Ian. " Where is she?"
" Danielle's here!"
" No you idiot I'm talking about Jackie!"
" Oh yeah…I didn't even notice that she wasn't here!"
Draco gave Ian an evil look! (Scary)
Ian quickly replied, " I was…busy…looking at my girl!" he said holding up the tie.
The door opened and Jackie walked in the classroom casually like nothing happened.
" Yo sorry I'm late!"
Professor Snape said, " Do you know what time class starts Miss Allan?"
" Uhh…a while ago."
" It started 45 minutes ago! Miss Allan I will be seeing you in detention tonight!"
Jackie groaned and sat down beside Danielle.
" Why are you so late?"
Jackie was about to respond until Professor Snape interrupted, " Miss Mcleod stop talking to Miss Allan!"
Jackie wrote down her reason on a separate piece of parchment.
Danielle red it. " You were thinking about the Yule ball?" she sounded confuse.
Professor Snape said, " Girls you can talk about the Yule ball another time. Perhaps when your in detention!"
Draco and Ian smirked at each other and gave a silent high – five!
When the bell rang Jackie decided to apologize to her friends. " Guys I'm…sorry for the way I was acting…I didn't mean the stuff I said. Do you accept my apology?"
" Ok." Heather said right away and gave Jackie a muffin.
Nehal said, " What are friends for Jax!"
Jackie said, " Dani I'm really sorry and I'm happy for you and Ian and I'm also sorry about the pumpkin juice."
Danielle smiled. " It's okay these things happen."
Heather replied, " I know eh? Remember that time I laughed so hard that corn came out of my nose?"
" Umm…Heather I was referring to me and Ian's relationship!"
" Right…I knew that!"
" So what's your detention going to be?" asked Nehal.
They walked back toward the common room.
Jackie replied, " We have to re-arrange the ingredients in the correct cupboard and label them!"
" That bites the big one!" said Heather
Danielle said, " I have to go meet Ian! Bye guys 18er!"
Night of Detention!
Danielle and Jackie went to Snape's office nervously. When they opened the door they got a little shock for themselves! Ian was standing by Snape's desk with his gryffindor tie along with Draco who looked like he didn't want to be there.
" What are they doing here?" whispered Jackie
" I think Ian is trying to get me out of detention!" Danielle said smiling.
" What about me?" Jackie asked.
" And you!" said Danielle.
Professor Snape said, " Miss Allan Miss Mcleod start working!" The girls started to label the ingredients.
Jackie whispered, " It doesn't look like there helping much!"
Danielle said, " Jax we've only been here for like 2 seconds. Just be patient!"
" But I'm not patient!"
" Try to be!"
" But I can't!"
" It's not that hard Jackie!"
" Yes it is!"
" No it's not!"
" Fine I'll talk to Ian when Professor Snape leaves!"
" Yeah! Thanks Dani!"
" Stop talking you two! I'm trying to have a conversation with Malfoy and Mr. Smith!"
" So he can talk and we can't'…so unfair!" said Jackie
" Jackie we have a problem!"
" Say what?"
" We still have the polyjuice ingredients but that means that one of us is going to get it and put it back in the cupboard!" She winked at Ian, which Jackie did see.
Jackie glared at Danielle. " Alright Danielle!" she said in a pissed of way. " I would be more than happy to get the polyjuice ingredients so you and Ian can be ALONE!"
" Thanks Jax! You're such a good friend! Just tell him that you're going to go to the washroom! Now repeat after me!"
" I am going to the washroom!"
" Good job Jax!" Danielle was pulling on Jackie's cheek.
" Please don't to that again!"
" I won't! Just go ask him!"
Jackie walked up to Professor Snape where Ian and Draco were. " Professor can I please go to the washroom?"
Professor Snape said, " Very well, but I won't be back so Malfoy will be in charge! But you have to make up for the time that you spend in the washroom!"
Jackie left and smiled at Danielle. Then Professor Snape left.
Danielle walked over to Ian and they held hands.
" Hey baby!" said Ian.
Danielle smiled. " Ian are you gonna stay here?"
" Of course I am!" He kissed her on the cheek. " You know it's kind of getting hot in herre!"
Danielle walked over to the table and cleared it. " Come on over come on over baby!"
Ian walked over and lay down on the table. Danielle followed and lay on top of Ian! (Alright my friend Danielle gave me this idea and I'm just doing this part for her don't worry they aren't doing it!)
Draco just stood there with his mouth open while they made out. How can two people be making out in detention he thought?
Jackie came back. " I'm back…" She stopped and she was shocked of what she was seeing! " How long has this been going on for?" she asked.
" 5 minutes."
" Eww! How can you watch this, it's so narsty (another word for nasty) Yo Dani I got the ingredients you wanted…Dani…Danielle! Oh well…yo I got three words for the both of you. GET A ROOM!"
Jackie decided that she didn't want to interrupt Danielle and Ian so she just finished her re-arranging with the ingredients.
Draco came up from behind Jackie. " Uhh…why do you have the polyjuice potion ingredient with you?"
Jackie turned around. " Umm…I needed it…for…how much longer do we have detention for?"
Draco looked at his watch. " We have like 10 minutes left."
Jackie said, " Can you please let us out early!"
" How early?"
" Like, right now!"
Bang! Jackie and Draco turned around. Danielle fell off the table.
" Are you okay?" Ian asked.
Danielle answered, " Ow! I scraped my elbow…and my knees."
" Aww that's too bad!" said Draco sarcastically.
" Shut up Malfoy!" Ian yelled. He jumped off the table and knelt down beside Danielle along with Jackie.
" Dani, how many fingers am I holding up?" Jackie asked
Danielle's vision was all blurry and she was confused. She hit her head really hard on the ground. " Ten."
Jackie looked at Ian. " I was holding up two fingers and she said ten! Something is wrong! I think we should take her to the hospital wing!"
Ian nodded his head and picked up Danielle over his shoulders. " Let's go!"
" Wait!" Draco said blocking the door. " You can't leave yet!"
" Malfoy this is important my girlfriend is hurt!"
" Yeah and my friend is hurt!"
Draco looked at his watch. " You can leave in 5 minutes."
Jackie walked up towards Draco. He was about a head taller so he looked down on her. " Listen Draco…you don't always have to listen to Professor Snape…. sometimes it's good to be bad and sometimes…it's good to break the rule and sometimes it's okay for us to leave 5 minutes early…besides a teacher isn't even here! So excuse e moi! Ian and I have to take Danielle to the hospital wing! We-" Jackie stopped there because she saw that Draco wasn't listening to her but he was looking down her shirt.
Applause on the speech! No don't applause because it was a bad speech but I tried to make it like those movie speeches. Well I think this is the longest chapter I have written! The next chapter is the polyjuice potion! (Finally!)
