Chapter 10

"Oh, Katie, you're here!" Summer exclaimed. "Guess what?" She asked in a "show off way"

"What?" Katie said, pretending to be curious. She was going through her suit case looking for her pajamas.

"I was reading one of our new books and I learned about Clabberts!"

"What the heck are Clabberts?"

"Clabberts are tree dwelling creatures. They look like a monkey and a frog put together!"

"Wow Summer," Katie said encouragingly. "What else do you know about them?"

"They're classified as Boring creatures! Imagine that!" Summer exclaimed.

"Last year they changed the classification of the Clabbert," Hermione informed.

"Hermione so shouldn't have said that," Katie automatically thought. "If Summer hates anything, it's being corrected by somebody else."

"Oh is that so?" Summer said huffily. "That's probably just a silly rumor."

"It isn't just a silly rumor," Hermione argued. "It's a well-known fact!"

"Oh, so you're calling me stupid now?" Summer shouted gradually getting louder.

"No! I do, however, think that if you don't know the classification of a Clabbert, you are somewhat scatterbrained."

"If you're so smart, then what's the classification of the Clabbert?" Summer asked angrily. She narrowed her eyes.

"They are classified under 'Competent Wizard Should Cope,'" Hermione recited.

"You're wrong!" Summer spat. "I think that your bushy hair is what makes your brain up!"

"Burn," Katie thought.

"At least I'm a pure witch, rather than a temporary one," Hermione spat back.

"Whoa! Double burn!" Katie thought.

"Katie!" Summer called, still looking at Hermione. "Could you kindly look up what the classification of a Clabbert is?"

Katie did not want to take part in this argument at all. However, she didn't refuse because she knew the Summer and Hermione would turn on her if she didn't. Reluctantly, Katie picked up the book on Summer's bed and looked up the classification of a Clabbert. The girls continued to argue back and forth.

Katie cleared her throat to indicate she had found it. "Um... I'm sorry to say this, but both of you were wrong. The classification of a Clabbert is 'Dangerous/Requires Specialist knowledge/Skilled Wizard May Handle.'" Both Hermione and Summer began to flush. Without saying a word, they closed the curtains around their beds.

One of the two girls that Katie didn't know was sleeping. The other, who was brushing her hair, however, raised one eye brow. "That was kind of awkward," the girl finally said.

Katie grinned. "Yeah, just a little," Katie said sarcastically. "I'm Katie Miller," she introduced.

"I'm Lavender Brown," the girl replied. Lavender pointed to the girl that was sleeping. "That's Parvarti Patil."

"Uh, hey Parvarti," Katie said jokingly waving her hand at the sleeping girl.

Lavender giggled. "So," she began. "You know those guys from your band that made Gryffindor? They're cute! What are their names?"

Katie began to laugh. "The guy with the blond spiky hair is Freddy, and the guy with the brown hair is Zack. Yeah, they are pretty cute!"

"Scratch 'cute'. They're hot!" Lavender exclaimed. "So how long have you known them?"

"Well, the three of us grew up together," Katie replied.

"Aw! That's so cute! I guess it explains why you three are so close! Also I noticed something..." Lavender's voice trailed off.

"What's that?"

"The blond one, Freddy, he likes you," Lavender said with a smile.

"No way!" Katie exclaimed doubtfully. "We're just friends! He wouldn't like me in that way, anyway."

"Or would he?" Lavender replied with a mysterious smile. The girls laughed again. "Oh and I saw that you met Draco."

"Unfortunately," Katie said rolling her eyes. "Is he always that annoying to a girl?"

Lavender grinned. "Actually, he is! You're the first girl I'd ever seen getting a kiss on your hand from him, though. You know, he'd be hot if he didn't slick his hair back!"

"Most definitely," Katie agreed. "But... I don't know. I got some sort of a bad vibe from him."

"I don't blame you. He's like one of the nastiest, meanest guys in school. He and Harry Potter are, like, really bad enemies!"

"I see. So who's the worst teacher here?" Katie asked changing the subject.

"It's Professor Snape, the Potions teacher." Lavender shivered at the very thought of Professor Snape. "He's also the Head of Slytherin."

"What's a Head of Slytherin?" Katie asked curiously.

"Well, each house has a teacher in charge of it. Our Head of House is Professor McGonagall," Lavender explained. "A Head of House's job is to decide how to discipline their students if they get out of line."

"Oh I get it," Katie said nodding. She glanced at her watch. It was 9:30 PM. "Well we better get to sleep for lessons tomorrow." She started to change into her pajamas while Lavender did the same.

"Are you nervous about lessons?" Lavender asked.

"Definitely!" Katie admitted.

"Don't worry, you'll have fun," Lavender reassured. "I'll introduce you to Parvarti tomorrow." Lavender promised, pointing to the sleeping girl.

"Okay, cool." Katie climbed into her bed. Happiness was flooding her. She had made loads of new friends today. She decided that Harry and Seamus looked kind of good looking, too. Katie immediately fell asleep.

Freddy woke up to the sound of Zack calling him. "Freddy! Wake up! We have to grab some breakfast!"

"Dude!" Freddy groaned. "No worries! My mom will bring it up for us!"

Zack looked at his new friends, Neville Harry, Ron, and Seamus with an eyebrow raised. "I guess he doesn't remember where he his."

"No, you think?" Ron wondered sarcastically.

"I say we jump on him until he wakes up," Harry suggested mischievously.

"I second!" Seamus exclaimed. With that, the boys pounced on Freddy's bed. Freddy flew up, thinking that there were bombs falling in the dormitory.

When Freddy realized what was going on, he blushed. "What the hell are you guys trying to do, hump me?" He exclaimed.

The boys laughed. They pulled on their school robes, that was until Freddy absolutely refused to wear the required tie.

"It's part of the uniform!" Ron explained. "If the teachers catch you with your uniform incomplete, they can dock off points from your house!"

"I don't care," Freddy refused stubbornly. "I just don't dig ties."

"Wear it Freddy," Neville pleaded. He didn't want to lose House Points. "It'll make you look smart, anyway."

"So you're saying I look stupid?" Freddy asked, pretending to be alarmed. Neville began to blush.

"Look at it this way," Zack said. "The girls will love it!" Freddy considered this and then agreed. He put on his tie and headed downstairs with the rest of the boys to meet Katie, Summer and Hermione for breakfast.
