DISCLAIMER: It's all J.K.'s. Somebody warned me so I decided to put a blanket thing on all my stories (het, slash, gen,) Please, bring an open mind. Remember, everyone's life is not the same.

This is kinda short, but it's supposed to make up for the last chapter...it was kinda crappy. Hopefully this is not so crappy.


Shibby floated out of Potions with a dopey grin on her face. She was extremely glad Trewlans was feeling better now than he had this morning, (He had yelled at her for standing too close to a window.) but that wasn't the real reason why her feet wouldn't touch the ground. Tom Riddle was going to be her Potions partner; and he didn't seem to upset about it! Maybe he kinda sorta mighta liked her back. Shibby prepared for the mental squeal as she rounded the corner...

And walked into the row of the century. She should've known it was coming, but after talking to Riddle, she wasn't really thinking about much. Aki was standing about five feet from Tai shrieking at the top of her lungs. Of course, Tai was shrieking right back. At first, Shibby couldn't make heads or tails out of the reverberating echos. But slowly, words began to form sentences...and Shibby wished she hadn't understood anything at all.

"You, gutless, brainless, lying snob! You do everything our dear mother tells you to! You've never had a single thought in your entire life that she hasn't thought of first!" Aki shrieked.

"Well, at least, I don't lie all the time! You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on your incredibly wide arse!" Tai was pulling out the big guns incredibly early.

"I'm not the one who tells everybody we're Polynesian! We're Japan-fudging-nese and you know it!"

"You are a stupid, self-control lacking, greedy, muggle-loving, Bitch!" Tai shrieked in utter anger. Obviously, if their comments had degraded into this, Shibby had missed an extremely large portion of the fight.

"You are a pompous, money-grubbing, weak, Nazi-loving, Wanker!" Aki yelled back so hard that spit was flying everywhere.

"I wish you had never been born!" Tai spat back.

"I wish I had been born in a different family!" Aki yelled. Shibby suddenly realized what they were going to do and went to stop them before they did something one of them would regret.

"GO TO HELL!" The twins yelled together as they aimed their wands and flung curses at one another. Which promptly hit Shibby who had thrown herself between the two when she saw them going for their wands. Shibby hit the ground hard amid shrieks from the people watching the fight. (Eric Johnson swore for years to come that when Shibby's face hit the ground, he heard a crack.) Everybody was busy trying to see who could scream the loudest, that no one noticed as her caramel-coloured hair slowly turned lime green.

It wasn't until when she regained consciousness and began to pick herself up off the ground that anybody actually looked at Shibby...and even then they didn't notice the lime green hair. They were all busy noticing the purple skin. Every visible inch of Shibby's skin was the same delicate shade of purple; when you add that to the lime green hair, everybody in a three mile radius could see Shibby...from space.

"Uh...Shibby, what do you say we get you to Hospital Wing?" Aki asked innocently.

"Yeah, just to make sure you're fine. Which you are. Of course, you are. Everything's fine here. We're all fine here. Hunky Dory. Let's go to the Hospital Wing." That's how Shibby knew something was wrong. 1) Tai's eyes were so wide that they shouldn't have fit in their sockets. 2) Tai had never said anything more than 'Die, Mudblood, Die' to Shibby in the entire time she had known him.

"Oh, God. What's the matter?"

"Idiot," Aki said smacking Tai on the arm.

"What'd I do? You're the one who started it!"

"Am I dying? Cause if I am, I can handle the knowledge? What's wrong?" Shibby asked as she put her head in her hands. It took a second, but when she figured it out... "I'M GOING TO MURDER BOTH OF YOU IN YOUR SLEEP!" Tai and Aki shared a quick glance and backed away from Shibby. "I MEAN...WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO SOMEONE? I'M GONNA...ANGER...ANGER...BREATHE... YOU BETTER KEEP WALKING AWAY!" Shibby spun on her heel and stormed off in the direction of the Hospital Wing muttering.
