Ok, thanks to...oh wait, NO ONE! Because absolutely no one has reviewed the last chapter! I should just stop writing because none of you are out there reading this right now. But, I'll put up one or two more chapters and see if someone reviews. If they do and tell me to keep writing, I will. If no one reviews or they say they don't like it, I shall discontinue this fic and attempt to come up with a plot for some Ella Enchanted fic. I've wanted to do one of those for so long. Anyway, if anyone's listening, on with the show.
Our scene opens with Aragorn sitting peacefully in the Gryffindor Common Room. Okay, that's a lie, he had just discovered the muggle invention, CDs, and is currently jumping up and down all over the couches listening to a Queen album. Anyway, he was minding his own business as much as is possible for Aragorn to mind his own business when the portrait hole opened and two people slid through. Poor, innocent Aragorn of course had no idea that anything had happened, as he couldn't hear anything over his music, including the cries of rage and annoyance coming from his fellow students trying to do their homework.
"ARRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the King of Gondor froze as a voice penetrated over the guitar solo on "Somebody to Love". He knew that voice. He didn't even need to know the voice; no one else would dare call him that. It used to be a lovely voice, he had been so happy to hear it. Then they had gotten married and the nagging had started. Now, terror froze the heart of the once brave warrior when he heard that voice.
"Arwen," Aragorn squeaked in a strained, half-surprised voice. He had hoped he would be able to have a year with the boys, but here she was, following him again. He sighed quietly and hit the stop button on his Walkman.
"Hi sweetie pumpkin," Arwen skipped lightly over to Aragorn and grabbed him in a huge hug. "Give me a kiss sweetie," she giggled, and proceeded to suck his mouth off. The other students had stopped even attempting to study and were now watching, fascinated as Aragorn attempted to break off the kiss without making it seem like he was doing so. Finally it ended and a look of intense relief crossed his face.
"So, honey, how's everything been? Is something wrong?" he asked, trying to start a conversation. He knew it would bore Arwen to death and she would probably leave him alone if he tried to be intelligent every time she was around. A very difficult task for the poor ex-Ranger. He wasn't trained to think, just to fight and look manly and kiss pretty elven maids like Arwen.
"Oh, it's been fine, I love being queen! I've gotten lots of new dresses, and I can eat chocolate whenever I want. Daddy never let me do that," Well that explains why she wasn't quite as trim as usual. Or trim at all. "But it's been a bit dreary with you gone," Arwen murmured, making her eyes go all big and watery. Aragorn hated it when she did that. It always meant she was going to ask him for something it was unlikely she would get. Unless she used the puppy eyes, in which case, Aragorn would feel guilty and do anything for her. "So, I was just wondering, could you come home now?"
There it was. The impossible request. Well, he could at least try to argue.
"Well, honey pie, that could be more difficult than it sounds..."
"Jack," came Merry's voice from outside the door. "Jack, it's 7:00, we have to go to detention,"
"Please do not disturb me. If I come outside, Elizabeth might find me and steal all the rum again. Or worse, that creature McGonagall," he sounded ever so slightly drunk.
"Jack, have you been drinking?" Pippin asked, exchanging a look with Merry. If someone had been getting drunk without the two of them, there would be hell to pay.
"Just a tad," he replied.
"Why didn't ya say so in the first place?!" Pippin yelled joyfully, barging through the door to the Ravenclaw dormitories. "If there's drinks, count me in!" Merry followed at a slightly more sedate pace. But not much more sedately.
About half an hour later the singing started. It began innocently, just a little bit of Queen, and some classic Beatles, but soon it was morphing into Gloria Gaynor and Abba. When Elizabeth heard them singing "Dancing Queen" in girly, high voices, she knew there would be trouble soon. So she put on headphones, turning on some soothing Celtic harp music, and promptly forgot about the rest of the world. This was a good thing for her, because the terrible trio soon made their way falling and tripping down the stairs, each with a microphone in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other. They soon kicked the rest of the students off the couch and began dancing madly while singing. The other Ravenclaws were soon watching in fascination, and some of the more bold ones joined in. Suddenly, Fred and George burst in.
"We heard there was beer and singing. Are we in the right place?" Fred asked breathlessly.
"Oh yeah!" Merry yelled, tossing each of them a bottle of beer and a microphone. Elizabeth could see this was getting out of hand, and quietly slipped out the door. Once out of the room, she oriented herself, and set off at a brisk walk towards Professor McGonagall's office.
"Skipping detention to do the very thing you got detention for! It's an outrage! Unheard of! If I have to use one more exclamation point I'm going to go insane! Oh, there I go! I don't even know what punishment to give something as horrible as this!"
"How about nothing then," Pippin suggested brightly. Professor McGonagall's stare silenced him quickly. Merry, Pippin, Jack, Fred and George were all congregated in McGonagall's office after she had walked in on their fiasco.
"I think the only punishment that's worthy of a crime this horrible is...DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!"
Dum dum dum! What will happen? What is double secret probation? If any of you know, I congratulate you. Will I keep writing? Only if you review, so get to it! Oh yeah, and I started writing this chapter a long time ago, so thanks ever so much to SiriusSweetie for reviewing. Even though she only read because I told her I had updated, whatever. She even reviewed twice to make me feel ever so dandy. So, review and you might get another chapter. Lots of reviews, and it might be longer than this. Suggestions, and you might get a really long chapter or even gasp TWO!
