Chapter Nine and One Half
Alicia narrowed her eyes suspiciously at George whom sat across from her, eyes unreadable. Her light brown eyes and his brilliant blue ones were locked, staring the other down, unblinkingly.
George leaned forward a bit, squinting his eyes a bit as he continued to give Alicia the infamous Weasley 'Look Down.' Niether twelve year old moved or blinked for quite some time. After a few long moments of absolute silence, George clenched his fists tight as his face slowly turned red, attempting to rival his red hair.
Finally, he closed his eyes and let out a huge sigh, "Fine, you win." His voice was barely audible and the red color slowly began to fade.
"Again," Alicia added smugly, with a triumphant grin,
Fred, who had been watching that burst with laughter. Once he was able to catch his breath, he began to speak, not bothering to keep his voice to a dull roar, "You can't even beat her at a staring-while-holding-your-breath contest! George, sometimes I wonder if you're really my twin."
"You think it's so easy beating her, do you?" George gasped, moving back away from the couch, still trying to catch his breath and get it back to normal. Within seconds, the two boys had switched places, and Fred was preparing to defeat Alicia at something he knew he could do.
"Now watch, and learn, twin."
They stared at each other, looking the other right in the eyes. Alicia immidiatel noticed that Fred's eyes were a bit brighter that George. Wierd, she thought, not breaking her concentration. Right now, she had to focus on out staring Fred, as well as out do him in holding her breath, which she was positive she could do.
The haired boy had a look of pure confidence on his face as he leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest. A small smirk playing across his face as time slowly passed. Alicia definately looked like she was trying a little to hard. His smirk grew, he knew he was going to win this.
"Hey, what's going--" but Lee was quickly silenced when George put a finger to his lips. The dark skinned boy seated himself next to his friend and watched the silent battle. A brow lifted curiously as he watched, but he, like George, was completely silent.
You're never going to defeat me, Alicia thought, her eyes already begining to sting and water a bit. She mentally shook herself. She couldn't lose, not to Fred.
Fred still smirked as he thought, I wonder if we should send mum another toilet seat, or even better, send one to dad at work! He shrugged his shoulders slightly at the thought, and allowed his gaze to travel up toward the ceiling.
At this Alicia let out a breath to point an accusing finger at him, "This is a staring contest, which means you have to stare at me, not the ceiling!"
"I win," Fred grinned getting up and stretching.
Alicia's face fell, then she quickly recollected herself, "No you didn't! You cheated!"
With one hand resting at his side, and the other touching his chest slightly, Fred acting as though he were highly offended by this accusation. "I do not cheat, Miss Spinnet." He removed that hand from his chest to wag it at her, "I only win."
Lee and George grinned, trying their hardest not to laugh.
"What's going on?" Katie came down from the girls' dormitory, pulling her hair back into a single ponytail. She looked at each of her friends in turn as she waited for a reply.
Alicia and Fred instantly pointed at each other and began to shout at her at the same time, arguing like little children. Katie shook her head and grinned at the two of them, "You both are pretty sad. Now I'm going to settle this once and for all." She pulled out a sickle from her pants' pocket, and tossed it in the air. When she caught it, she kept it closed in her fist. "Heads, Alicia wins. Tails, Fred wins. Agreed?"
The two nodded.
"Good." Katie opened her hand to reveal the coin to be on heads. She smiled and nodded, quickly replacing the coin to her pocket. "Looks like Alicia wins." With that, she began to leave the common room.
Fred made a grumbling sound, only to mutter that he really didn't care in the first place, and that little contests like that were for stupid little kids anyway. Alicia jumped up quickly and made a victorious yelping sound, then joined Katie. "I was really lucky you came along, Katie. I was actually starting to worry that--"
Once they were safely out of the common room, Katie took out the sickle she had flipped for them with mischivous grin. It was on heads, then she flipped it over once more. The coin was still on heads. "My dad's lucky sickle, he gave it to me incase I ever got homesick." She winked and slipped it back into her pocket.
"I think being at Hogwarts is really starting to rub off on you."
---------------------
As you can see, it's just really one little scene, with kids being kids.. I mean, hey, if they can do that in the third harry potter movie, I can at least do something like it in my own fic, right?
And trust, kiddies, there will be more little snippets, because I have a lot saved, I just have to tweak them a bit so that I can add it to QTTA
Kathy - Who doesn't think Oliver's obsession with Quidditch is cute? Other than Alicia, Angelina, and all the straight guys of the world? lol But I'm once again glad that you are enjoying!
Miss Lady Padfoot - If you can believe it.. I was thinking about things that never ever ever happened during a Quidditch match, and the first thing I thought of was flying through one of the goals with the quaffle xD I thought it was funny at the time anyway.. Eh.. I'm not really good at daydreaming though, it could have been waay better. Oh well, glad you enjoyed that last post. Hope you enjoyed this just as much or more!
Alrighty then, kiddies! I'm tired and have band camp in the morning, so I will be off.
Leave me reviews and plenty of them! If you all are good, I might even make some sort of sequel when I'm done with this.. o.O
Anyway...
Later!
