Carmen and Cammy's European Vacation
Disclaimer: Not mine!
Chapter 10- Git-R-Dead!
A/N: yeah, this chapter really sparks the theme of the story.
"And so then I said…ow!" I groaned after being hit in the head by a quaffle. I threw it, rather a little hard at Katie Bell, who had not become my best friend. She sneered.
"Watch it you American" I put my hand on my heart.
"From sea to shining sea" her face dropped. Yes, my wittiness always helped me no matter I flunked a test or survived a nuclear war. I was just funny like that. Cammy wrinkled her eyebrows.
"She's really taken a liking to you"
"Yeah she's regular miss congeniality" I grinned. Cammy and I had started to make our visits to the quidditch field regular. We sat in the stands watching the team zoom around. Cammy however had been particularly quiet. "You want to here about the prank of the century?"
"No" My jaw dropped, Cammy always wanted to know what I had done. I could pull a prank on Cammy and she'd want to know.
"Carmen just be careful; I have to go" I watched her leave silently. What had gotten into her?
Cammy strode the grounds of Hogwarts until she reached a certain professor's office. She knocked and bit her lip. The door opened and the teacher's beady eyes looked out at her.
"Professor" she said "I need to tell you something"
I stood the Gryffindor locker room talking to Oliver Wood, a very muddy Oliver Wood.
"You know Oliver, keep those practices up and I won't be surprised when you just disappear" he laughed his deep laugh, god it sounded like Santa Claus! Well Christmas was coming around. "Going anywhere for Christmas?" I asked. He shook his head and grass fell out. Gross.
"No, just staying here; you?"
"Nope" I couldn't stand it. "Oliver you are nasty and unless I do something you will continue to be nasty so…" I leaned over and turned on the hose and pointed it at him. After a few minutes he was less dirty but still wet. "One more thing" I put a car freshener around his neck. "Come out when you're decent" I left and waited by the door. Oliver soon appeared a little more decent. Well a little more than decent, kind of …hot. Or it could've been the air freshener. We walked back to the castle chatting.
"How was the prank on Snape?" he asked I laughed.
"Let's just say he'll soon be 'pretty in pink'" he laughed. I could feel his sweater on my other side or Oliver had another hand. "What do I have something on me?" I said, yeah I know can I take a hint or what?
"No just enjoying your company" he replied.
Katie Bell stood on the knoll watching the pitch, well not exactly. She was watching her captain and wait…who was he with? She fumed as she realized it was Carmen. Ever since truth or dare, she had developed some pent up anger for her. Could this American take the captain of her dreams in one fatal swoop?
"That American is about to become an angry American" she swore under her breath and walked back into the castle.
"Man I am hungry" I announced sitting down. Cammy and the gang had already started eating. "Don't wait for me" I declared sitting down. Just eat without me why don't you? Oliver sat beside me and Cammy motioned to my shoulder.
"Where's your bag?" My bag. Hmm. Well it had been on my shoulder; I turned around and spotted the thief sitting in the middle of the hallway. Figures. I wiggled out and jumped up to grab it. As I picked up the tattery nylon bag with the large American flag if felt a sharp jab into my side. I looked up to see none other than Katie Bell.
"Oh yeah like you couldn't have seen me" she sneered.
"I'm sorry Carmen' I was blinded by that horrible clash of colors" she started to walk away. I felt something burst in my neck.
"You mean my flag?" I spat back. She turned and so did the rest of the school.
"You know in our country that usually signifies a person that is different…freakishly different" If only I had a rifle. I bowed my head and she began to walk away. Then my wittiness cut back in.
"In our country we know that a person is 'different' when they get their hair cut" I laughed to myself, here came the kill. "Like yours" I finished in a strong accent. Silence enveloped the Great Hall as Katie Bell was possessed by the oh-no-you-didn't demon. She ran, grabbed me by the shoulders and threw me down on the table. I felt her hands ripping out my hair. "Girl you are crazy!" I screamed throwing her off of me and trying to regain my vision. That was however terminated as I heard a loud rip. Clearing the cake out of my eyes I saw Katie with the flag off of my bag in pieces. I heard Cammy whisper in my ear, I was probably sitting on her dinner.
"Don't git-r-done Carmen" I laughed as rage welled inside my chest.
"Git-r-dead" I muttered getting off the table. I just can't picture what this would've looked like. Two girls covered in cake dueling it out. Where's Springer when you need him? We were two cake covered cobras walking in a circle ready to strike at any time.
"So you think you can just come to Hogwarts and run the place; rednecks don't look good on the school's reputation"
"First of all, all that a redneck is is having a glorious lack of sophistication and second of all I'm not the one living in this drop everything and drink tea nation!" I should've probably taken into consideration that I might be offending other people, but of course that didn't happen.
"At least we don't pull out a corona" oh man this little girl was really asking for it!
"At least we'd be too damn drunk to realize we were wearing knickers!" I knew I had hit a nerve.
"At least we don't take each other's boyfriends" I looked at her confused. "Oliver" she continued, "I don't think you had some lint on your shoulder when he had his arm around you!" I froze. Oliver looked up timidly.
"Girl I will not fight you over a boy" she ran at me and I kneed her in the stomach. "Don't mean I won't" I replied as I felt her grab my hair again as we hit the floor. Punches flew and I'm sure blood was lost. I sat up on top of her.
"At least we don't have to pay to pee! I mean in my country it's kind of complimentary!"
"That's because you all pee on trees!" I grabbed her even harder.
"I would rather live in a tree-peeing hardworking country, than one where you all sit on your knickers until something happens!" Oops, I think I said too much. She got off and I looked around to see a hall full of angry Europeans. Crap. I heard the door swing open and looked up to see Snape, pink hair and all. At this point I would've enjoyed the enormous laughter but I was locked in place by his expression. Those cold eyes told me that I had been caught.
"Carmen" he said coldly, "come with me" I stood up and slowly made my way out of the hall. Katie's comments hadn't really fazed me until I walked through the doors, then I heard her hiss.
"At least we don't betray each other"
A/N: that's your big fight chapter! Sorry about the "word usage" Don't mean to offend anyone! So please review!
