Chapter 12: How To Hex Your Friends!
It was now Valentines Day, and Kirsti was incredibly excited about her first date with Oliver that afternoon, but Clare and Amy put a damper on her excitement worrying about exam revision.
"I can't believe how far behind you are. You haven't even done a timetable yet, how do you expect to pass your exams if you don't sort out your revision." Clare said.
"What, the exams aren't for another few months, we've got plenty of time." said Amy.
"Well I've had mine sorted since Christmas." said Clare.
The others looked at her in disbelief. Just as this was said, Neville Longbottom accidentally bumped into Kirsti.
"Watch where you're going, you stupid squib." said Kirsti before she stormed off.
"Don't worry about her Neville, she's just a stressed out cow." said Rachel.
After Neville had left them, Rachel had turned to them.
"She was right out of order to Neville, how about we get some revenge?" asked Rachel.
"How about we sabotage her date with Oliver?" said Amy.
"How about the speech impediment curse?" suggested Rachel.
"Ok." said Amy.
They found Oliver and Kirsti having a picnic down by the lake. Amy and Clare transformed into their animagi forms and stayed in the trees near to the lake, whilst Rachel sat behind a tree and to perform the curse.
"Kirsti, how do you feel about me? Cos I really like you." asked Oliver.
At this moment Rachel said the curse.
"Oliver." was all Kirsti managed to say before she started spluttering and spitting.
"This is no joke." Oliver said before he stormed off. Kirsti also stormed off in the opposite direction.
The lessons begun at one o clock, Amy, Harry and Rachel had double Potions. They were shocked to find that Umbridge was performing an inspection of Snape's lesson. Snape did not look happy about this. It turned out to be a very dull and boring Potions lesson, and it got even more annoying with Umbridge's continuous "hhmm, hhmms" They were finally near the end of the lesson, and Umbridge decided that she would give Snape the results of his inspection in front of the class, and Rachel thought that this was a too good an opportunity to miss.
"This has been a satisfactory lesson, Professor Snape. You managed to keep your class under control, but you teaching methods don't correspond with Ministry guidelines." Umbridge began, but by this time and Rachel had had enough and had whispered "Legilimens"
Umbridge then began uncontrollably babbling at Snape who was standing there and looking at her incredulously.
"Blahblahblahmmnumbchunblurblurblurcotdebobobooooooo." said Umbridge before clamping her hand over her mouth and storming out as the entire class burst out laughing.
"Class dismissed." shouted Snape. "Rachel stay behind."
Rachel was sure she was about to get shouted at, but was shocked at what was actually said.
"Very entertaining." said Snape.
"I beg your pardon?" Rachel questioned.
"Your Legilimency is beyond what I thought it was." said Snape.
"Hey it could have been worse, she could have been coming on to you." said Rachel with an insidious look on her face.
"You wouldn't dare." said Snape, slightly worried.
"Even though it would be extremely funny, I'm not that cruel. Plus I don't think t he students would be able to get through the sight of her trying to look enthralling to any man without being mentally scarred for life." Rachel replied.
"Indeed. Five points to Gryffindor. Now get out of my sight." said Snape.
After half an hour of extreme, and difficult to understand begging Rachel finally gave in and lifted the speech impediment curse off Kirsti. Kirsti had some how managed to work out that it was Rachel who cursed her. She swore revenge before taking her seat at the Slytherin table. The next morning Amy and Clare woke up to find that Kirsti she had really meant what she had said, Clare woke up to find leeks sprouting from inside her ears and Amy woke up with insanely large front teethas a result of the Densaugeo curse, however Rachel seemed to be fine. Rachel left Amy and Clare in the hospital wing with a very confused Madam Pomfrey and entered the Great Hall for breakfast. As she walked in, she was hit by the Jelly Legs Jinx and she fell to the floor as the hall dissolved into laughter.
