Carmen and Cammy's European Vacation
Disclaimer: Not mine!
Chapter 8- Cammy's chat with McGonagall
The remaining, non-felony committing portion of the group sat in the common room. Cammy was immersed in her book, Oliver was absorbed in his (quidditch through the ages) and the trio was chatting.
"So Cammy" Katie interrupted, "What's with Carmen?" Cammy looked up.
"What about her?"
"Don't you ever get annoyed by her?" Oliver could see where this was going, but he chose to keep quiet.
"Not particularly" Cammy replied. Alicia continued.
"Why does she keep getting in trouble if she's already been expelled?"
"Uh, that's how Carmen deals with things, but she wasn't always like that"
"How so?" Angelina inquired.
"Well, she wasn't always so rebellious. She used to be quieter and a little more feminine. But when she found her boyfriend cheating on her, she kind of toughened up and became a little crazier." Oliver nodded in silence that explained a lot. McGonagall appeared through the portrait hole.
"Cammy" she called. Cammy looked up.
"Yes" she answered meekly.
"I'd like to speak with you" Cammy looked around terrified. Oliver mouthed 'what did you do' but Cammy shook her head. She didn't know. She stood up and followed the professor out into the hall and into McGonagall's office. She sat down uncomfortably in a leather chair and the strict teacher faced her.
"Do not worry you're not in trouble" Cammy breathed a sigh of relief. The professor continued, "I brought you here t discuss your acquaintance with Carmen"
"Ok" Cammy said timidly. Carmen had become the topic of the evening.
"Carmen as you know has not had the best history. But what concerns me is how's she is affecting you" cammy rubbed her hands together nervously.
"Even though Carmen is my best friend, I don't let her actions influence me" she nodded.
"I know that, what I'm saying Cammy is that you have so much potential. You have some of the highest marks in your class. You could do so much but maybe Carmen is slowing you down" Cammy stayed silent. McGonagall continued. "Just think about it Cammy, maybe you should think about your best friend; you're excused." Cammy stood up and left, deep in thought about hot topic of the evening; Carmen.
A/N I know this chapter is short but it really paves the way for the rest of the story! Please review!
