Thank you for the lovely reviews! I got a total of 3, which is pretty good for not being the greatest at writing. They are from insertgoodnamehere, FredslilAngel, judichild, and Flaming Tsunami. I am updating these pretty quickly for my taste, which is why my chapters have a lot of mistakes, so bare with me. If the problems really bother you, tell me, and I will have someone else go through my writing before I put it up on this page. Any questions or comments please contact me through email or AIM (I think they are both on my profile thingy). Well, here is Chapter 3!
Chapter 3, Friendly Classmates and School Owls
Who would think that one little quidditch game would make Katie, Alicia, Fred, George, Lee, and myself such good friends?
Okay, so maybe it was just me who befriend the twins but if I am hanging out with Fred and George of course Katie and Leesh are going to come too, along with Lee who would want to come with the twins.
I mean seriously, only about a month after the game, we were really tight. I could be myself around them, and could tell them just about anything. Well, just about.
I definitely couldn't tell the boys about the crush I had developed over Cedric Diggory. I knew how much Fred hated him. Once, I had mentioned how hot he looked to Leesh when Fred was standing behind us, and Fred 'accidentally' set Cedric's hair on fire. So I basically keep off the subject of crushes, even in my dorm, just in case.
I wasn't the only one who had developed a crush. Lee, in fact had one on me. I would never go out with him, for two main reasons:
he would be goggling at other girls while on a date
I am not sure if he is serious, or joking about this whole thing.
Not that I even wanted to date. I mean, I was only eleven at the time. There will be plenty of time to date, right?
Off the subject of dating, there were also classes. Yes, the dreaded classes. Actually, as soon as Fred and me got along, classes were quite a bit more...interesting. The jokes and side comments him, George, and Lee said now seemed to be more funny than annoying.
For instance, one of there better jokes was on Montique, a Slytherin in our year. Lee started distracting Montique by getting his imaginary pet leprechaun from under him, knocking over his chair. George grabbed Montique's transfiguration book from off of his table and tossed it to Fred who started scribbling down things like Montique and Gildroy and I heart Lockhart. He tossed it back to George who placed it back in Montique's bag and grabbed Lee, who grabbed Munchkin (his leprechaun) and they all sat back down, hands folded, like they were Angels.
I must admit. They're good.
Not only are they good prankwise, but they are also descent with school work when the actually try. Not that they do ever do. Maybe a bit in potions, only because they say that it will help them when they open a joke shop. Some dream. I haven't even thought of what I want to be when I grow up. I know that I will definitely not work in the ministry. Cornelius Fudge scares me.
One particularly boring evening in December I was sitting in the common room doing a potions essay that was due tomorrow (I usually don't do my homework on the last night possible but Lee was reading it and tripped, dropping the paper in the fire, which he claims was a mistake.) when an owl started pecking its beak on the glass of the window. I have pretty good concentration; therefore I could just about ignore it (I was pretty comfortable where I was and was in no mood to walk over and open the window.) but Lee, ho has none, stood up from where he was sitting 'doing his essay' and opened the window. All the way he was muttering curse words and threatening who ever owned this owl, under his breath. I heard a hoot, so I figured that the owl was in the common room.
I will not look up. I will finish this essay. Who cares who the owl belongs to. You have to finish this Angelina. Over and over I though this in my head. Stupid really, it was just a stupid owl carrying a stupid letter. Stupid? I think not. That was a school owl sending a letter, to me. I untied the scroll and started to read:
Dear Angel,
How are you? Is school going well? I hope so. Your father and I have a present for you that would be quite impossible to send by mail. Don't get too excited but be sure to come home Christmas break or not get a Christmas present until next summer. I know you were planning on staying with your friends, but we would really appreciate it if our little girl came home. Over the break your friends our welcome to come over by I think you call it 'Floo Powder' or your father and I can pick them up by car. Sorry this is late notice, but your father was supposed to send you a letter two weeks ago.
Please write back, we need to be sure that this gets to you. I am till not sure about this whole OWL thing.
Love You Dearly,
Mom
Lee, who had been reading over my shoulder looked up at me.
"Your mom has a rare disease and is going to die four days after you go home." Lee guessed. "That's what happened to my dear old fish after it talked to me."
"It talked to you?" I questioned.
"Why, yes, yes it did. And thanks for the invite. I'll come over News Years eve and count down with you baby. You know what happens at midnight?" He made a smooching noise with his lips. "I get to kiss you."
"In your dreams" I said closing my potions book and heading towards the common room door. I had to find Katie, Alicia, Fred, and George and tell them that I couldn't stay over the holidays. I guess I would have to ride home on the Hogwarts Express with Lee. Eww that could be dangerous.
I head up to the library and found Katie and Alicia sitting in the back reading. When I approached them, they looked up and waved me over. I sat down and took a deep breath.
"I know this is short notice but I can't stay for Christmas. My parents want to give their stupid present to me in person rather than sending it to me like a normal person. But, if you guys go to your houses, you're welcome to come over during holiday break.
"Ya, that's not a bad idea," said Alicia.
"I am starting to miss my folks a bit. I mean, it will be the first Christmas I'll have without them."
Katie however did not take this the way Alicia did. Her eyes started to water, and you could tell she was blinking back tears.
"What's wrong?" I kindly questioned.
"Nothing," she lied. "It's just, I don't think I'll be going home for Christmas, I can't really,"
"What do you mean?"
"Its just..."
Oh don't you love endings like that? I do. I know this is a little short but ill update it soon. I would write a bit more but I have to know the fifty states, there capitals, where they're located, and how to spell them by tomorrow along with a quiz in science and two projects I have to work on. Not that any of you really care what I have for homework. I should have the next chapter up sometime next week. It should be good.
Muahahahaha! I love writing this fan fiction.
