Chapter Thirteen

"Oh look, it's raining pigeons!" George said, noting the huge flock of pigeons over their heads.

"Holy crap!" Hermione said before some crap fell on her head from a pigeon, which turned out to be some Holy Crap from the Holy Father of Pigeons. But that's another chapter...

"Okay, let's mount," Fred said, grinning.

"Okay," Mariela said, Fred then looked shocked and then smiled perversely. "No! Not like that! I didn't mean it like that!" George and Fred started roaring with laughter, and Melissa and Hermione stifled their giggles.

"Let's go," Melissa said after a moment.

They all climbed on the brooms, in the same pairings. After a while of flying towards their destination, San Francisco, they heard soft music playing.

"What is that!" Ron exclaimed, looking around hurriedly.

"It sounds like some... kind of... clarinet." Melissa said, making a face. Clarinets are horrible instruments. Flutes are much better. Anyway... then Melissa, Hermione, and Mariela all started screaming. Like, really screaming. Really really screaming. For reals. Okay, you get it.

Below them was a vast number of hills, stretching to the horizon. But, they seemed to be moving! The hills were rippling and lurching and all the animals below them started freaking out as the hills interrupted them in the middle of a mating frenzy.

"Is it an earthquake?" Fred asked.

"No... it can't... we wouldn't notice it if it was an earthquake, I think," Melissa said, frowning slightly.

"They must be alive! To the sound... of... a musical instrument!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Are you saying the hills are alive to the sound of music?" George said, looking bewildered.

Suddenly, a huge gaping hole grew in the middle of a hill that had dead grass covering it. The clarinet music got louder and louder, getting more and more out of tune. Suddenly, a huge vacuum was created, and all of them felt themselves being sucked towards the hill. Suddenly, George fell off his broom, and was whooshed into the hill. Hermione screamed, and watched George screaming (like a girl) as he fell into the hole. She clung onto the broom, and then the clarinet music slowly faded. The hills stopped rolling about, and stood still.

They all softly landed upon one of the hills, and Hermione was shaking uncontrollably. "Has their thirst for blood been quenched? Has it?"

"Wait a minute... I recognize that clarinet music..." Melissa whispered. "That was Samantha! She must be following us! Why can't she just die!"

"Did we try killing her?" Fred asked, while hugging Hermione. (She was crying.)

"No... not yet, anyway," Mariela smiled. Melissa nodded.

"Samantha? Samantha? SAMANTHA! WHERE ARE YOU? WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" they all started screaming, but after trying for several minutes and gaining no response, the group decided to continue on their journey: with or without her.

"Why does she always have to follow us?" Melissa whispered to Ron on the broom. He shook his head gravely.

When they landed on top of a skyscraper in San Francisco (by the way, no one noticed) they quickly took the MUNI over to Powell Street Station, and walked the two blocks to Union Square. When they reached the Square, they went to the landing where all the benches were... or if you will, the Square-ish part of the Square. Hermione, who had been sobbing into Melissa's brand new jacket up till now, decided she'd feel better if they went to the Louis Vuitton store. So, the group walked by past the Victoria's Secret (Fred winked at Mariela) and Macy's (Melissa wanted to look at shoes). When the group walked into the luxurious store, a man in a tuxedo greeted them.

Hermione gasped.

It was George!

"Greetings," he said with a polished American accent.

"George! How did you get here?" Hermione asked, smiling despite her tear stained face.

"It was the way of the buffalo," he said, still speaking American.

"Umm... right..." Mariela said, "Come with us."

"You want me to walk around in a bloody tuxedo?" George said, getting back to normal.

"Yes, we must take you to Bucky so he can cure you of Samallclarinitus," Melissa said, nodding very quickly. Ron nodded as well.

"Bucky? I'm not even going to ask. And where does miracle worker live?" George asked, stuffing his hands inside his trouser pockets.

"Well, Bucky lives in my locker... one of my friend's lockers... one of my enemy's lockers...which are both at school... he's possessing this really hot guy, too... butI suppose we could just go to the Berkeley BART Station," Melissa shrugged.

So, the group, reunited once again, took the long journey from the Powell Street MUNI Station to Embarcadero Station, and then switched to BART (Bay Area Rail Transportation) and took it to the Downtown Berkeley station.

"Downtown Berkeley Station, Downtown Berkeley Station, This is a Richmond-bound train," a voice crackled through the wall speakers. The group got out of the subway train BART thing, and walked onto the platform.

"Melissa? Mariela?" someone called. Melissa and Mariela turned around, and saw their two muggle friends from pre-Hogwarts times. They didn't know Melissa and Mariela were witches.

"Katie? Katie?" Melissa said, looking at her two friends, who were both named Katie.

"Why do you have broomsticks?" the one with longer brown hair said, looking down at the crummy broom in Ron's hands.

"Where have you been?" the one with short curly hair shrieked. Melissa assumed she was on a sugar high.

"Oh, around," Melissa shrugged, then exchanged glances with Mariela.

"I recognize you..." the Katie with long brown hair said to Ron. "Where have I seen you?"

"I'm afraid I don't know you. Sorry," Ron said, quite taken aback.

"Oh my God..." the girl with the longer hair said, "These are people from Harry Potter!"

"I'm sorry, but Harry Potter did not happen to give birth to us," Fred said, getting annoyed by the two Harry Potter groupies.

"Holy crap! They are the people from the books!" Katie Short Haired said, reaching out to touch Ron's shoulder. He stepped back, extremely bewildered.

"Um, no they aren't. We gotta go now. Bye," Melissa said, then they all started running up out of the BART station. When they got to the top, they saw Bucky! He was floating over by a homeless man, looking at him to see if he was a druggie. Melissa shook her head.

"Buuuuckyyyyy!" she cried, and he turned around.

"Holy crap! BUCKY LIVES!" Katie Long Haired said, once she caught up to the group.

"We know Bucky lives, now leave us alone!" George said, pushing Katie Long Haired into the homeless man, who quickly ate her.

"Tasty," he whispered hoarsely, then looked at Katie Short Haired, who had just arrived.

Her eyes widened, and she quickly ran down into the BART station.

"Oops," George said, looking appalled a homeless man would eat an innocent little freshman.

"I'm gonna go get me another!" the homeless man said, before running down to BART to catch Katie Short Haired.

Yes, there was a huge funeral with people sobbing and the homeless man was locked up forever and they all lived sadly ever after. Everyone was devastated at the loss of the Harry Potter groupies, and especially the ferret.

Anyway...

The group all decided that they better go back to Hogwarts and defeat Samantha. Even if that meant Melissa and Mariela having a duel. Or jinxing her sunglasses.
