Chapter five: Always Read the Fine Print!
Sleepy and stuffed full of food, Barry and the rest of the first year Gryffidors walked slowly up to the Gryffindor common room, following one of Don's brothers, Pierce who was prefect.
Don was beside him, telling him how it was such a relief he got into Gryffindor, because all of his family (as far back as he could remember) had all been in Gryffindor. Behind he could hear Lemo and Emo whispering about how Andy had managed to sneak up to the front and was now talking with Andrew as though they had known each other all their lives. Barry rolled his eyes, it seemed if Andy wanted then she would probably get, and it seemed the same rules for Emo and Lemo. Girls like that scared him...
Finally Pierce halted in front of a large portrait of a rather plump lady,
"Password?" she asked.
"I smell like pickle," Pierce replied importantly, the Fat Lady let out a little giggle then swung open revealing a doorway which led to the common room.
Once they were all inside, Pierce showed the boys the way to their dormitories and the way to the girls. Everyone spilt off to their separate ways yawning and talking sleepily.
Barry had to share a dorm with Don, Nicholas, Andrew, Seamus Finnegan and Thomas Dean. Unfortunately for the dorm Don snored, but after some desperate searching in their school books, Nicholas managed to find a sound proofing spell to put around Don's bed. After high-fiving each other the boys all said good-night and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, Barry woke to Don banging (silently) on an invisible wall around his bed. The only other boy awake was Andrew who was flicking desperately through his school book,
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck..."
"Andrew, what's going on?"
"Shit! Didn't know anyone else was awake..."
"Sorry, what's going on?" Barry repeated.
"The spell. We cast. Fucking. Created. A wall. Around. Don's bed. And I can't find a bloody counter-curse! FUCK!" He slammed his book shut and glared at it.
"We'll have to go find help, a teacher maybe?"
"Yea probably a good idea..."
"Does Don know what's going on?"
"Yea wrote it down and put it up against the wall, so he could read it."
Barry looked around and noticed some of Andrew's parchment, quills and ink were spread out around the place. Andrew grabbed a blank piece of parchment and a near by quill and wrote:
Going to get help.
Be Right Back!
He shoved the paper against the wall, so Don could read. Don read it and nodded and sat down on the bed with a defeated look on his face.
"C'mon, let's go!" Andrew said rushing out the door, his long legs carried him out the door and down the stairs before Barry even got to the door.
"Hey! Slow down Andrew!"
When Barry got down to the common room Andrew said a casual "Sup!" to Andy who was at the window taking a letter from a snowy white owl.
"Heya!" Andy replied waving. Then she noticed Barry's worried expression,
"Hey, what's going on?"
"We cast a sound proofing spell on Don's bed and-"
Andy groaned,
"You didn't!"
"Uh...we did?"
"Aww... crap guys!" She sighed, and then clicked her tongue; the owl flew onto her shoulder,
"Hang on, I can't remember the counter-curse, but Emo knows I'll go wake her up…" Andy disappeared up the girls' dorm stairs. Minutes later a rather ruffled and pissed off Emo came down the stairs, followed by Andy.
"You dumbshits cast a sound proof spell and didn't read the fine print? How fucking thick do you get?"
"We..." Barry began; he thought Emo wasn't being fair.
"Never mind...You know now..." she said yawning, "Lead the way..."
Barry took the lead and showed Emo the way to the dorm, followed from afar by Andy who was trying to read her letter, while Andrew who was muggle-born was spell bound by how tame the snowy owl was, who was happily perching on Andy's shoulder.
"I can put her on your shoulder if you like..."
"I dunno...I mean..."
Ignoring Andrew's protests Andy clicked her tongue and tapped Andrew on the shoulder. Obediently the owl jumped onto his shoulder.
"Now don't lean like you crippled...just walk normally...No normally!" Andy said laughing.
Now inside the boys' dorm Emo took one look and Don and felt sorry for him, he couldn't help that he snored and now he's prisoner in his own bed. All because of the idiots who didn't read the bloody fine print. Emo cast the counter-curse; Don jumped off his bed and threw arms around Emo,
"You're a Genius! Thank you!"
Emo grinned,
"No problem. Now if you guys don't mind, I'm going to go back to bed..."
