Chapter…ummmmm Chapter 7

Embarrassing Stories

"Angelina, can I talk to you for a moment?" I looked over to Alicia, heart racing, eyes wary.

But what is there to be scared of? I kept reassuring myself. I mean, they are your friends, right? Mum didn't say anything specific on not being aloud to have guys over.

That did make sense. I mean, sure, we probably shouldn't have played truth or dare, but hey, it could have been worse. We could have played something like spin the bottle. Now that's asking for trouble.

"Mom, I am kinda busy right now." I said, pointing to the table.

"Now" she urged.

I reluctantly stood up and dragged my feet up the stairs. "Yes mother?" I said, putting on an innocent smile.

"When you said you were having friends over, you didn't mention having boys over."

"You didn't ask."

"Yes well, next time please tell me whether your guests or male or female."

"Ok then…can I go now?"

"Fine"

Who knew that it could be so…painless? I mean, I expected to be grounded or yelled at or something. Boy do I love surprises like that.

But as all bad has to be offset by something good, all good has to be offset by something bad.

As my mom turned to head back up to the kitchen, I returned to my place at the foosball table.

"So, did she care?" Alicia asked.

"Well let's see, Fred, Lee and myself are still here, aren't we?" George interrupted, still trying to recover from the game of truth or dare.

"Yes, but I can change that." Alicia reached for her back pocket to pull out her wand, but Fred stopped her.

"Whoa there sweetheart! Calm yourself! He's joking!"

"And besides," added Katie "There's no magic outside of Hogwarts, you know that."

"Right."


Such strange outbursts from Alicia. I always thought she was calm and innocent but ah, the personality shows. Not that that was a bad thing, it actually made me fit in more, in a way. It used to be me, short tempered, enjoying throwing a friendly insult (or spell) at Fred, George, and Lee when I get the chance and then there were Katie and Alicia, friendly, kind, not as short tempered, kind of let the boys pick on them. But not anymore, Alicia turned more like me. In a way, this made our bond tighter, are friendship stronger.

Who would have thought that a simple thing like grabbing for your wand could make you and your best friend, even closer?

But back to my point, the good offset by something good, yeah that. The bad part of the day, dinner.

I tried to persuade my parents into letting the six of us eat in the family room, without them, but with no success. They wanted to get to know my friends. Grr.

"So, Alicia, what kind of grades do you get?" Alicia looked over at me, and held in a giggle.

"Alicia here," said Lee, with a mouthful of potatoes, "Gets excellent marks, excellent indeed. But not as good as your fine daughter, you have raised her well."

My father nodded, pleased with Lee's answer"

"Suck-up" Fred mouthed to his friend over the table.

"You are… Lee, right?"

"Yes sir."

"What about you Lee? How about your grades?"

Katie hid a snort. "Good question. How are your grades Lee?"

"Decent."

"And you went to muggle school? Where?"

"Surrey."

"Public?"

"Yes."

"What about your preschool?"

"ABD School."

"Lee Jordon? I knew that name seemed familiar. I think you and Angelina went to school together. Jordan…wasn't that the name Angelina's boyfriends when she was four?"

"Ahh! Yes, it was. They were so cute together too. Funny how small the world is."

Lee threw me one of those evil, yet trying to impress me smiles.

"Funny, I think not." I said under my breath. George, who was sitting next to me, whispered:

"Fate"
