CH 3: Pretty

Alyssa was walking towards the dormitories when she noticed her brother was lingering in the hall.

"Mark, what are you still doing up?"

"Huh? What?" Mark hadn't noticed his sister walking towards him.

"You better go to your dormitory before one of the teachers sees you."

Mark bent over and touched his toes then stood up and bent over again. He repeated touching his toes several times until Alyssa got annoyed with him.

"So did you get in a fight with Cindi again?" Mark finally talked to her.

"Yea, why?"

"I don't understand why you don't like her."

"And I don't understand why my brother is so weird."

Just then a dark figure approached the two of them. "Lumos," the light revealed that it was Snape. He came closer towards them with a look of disdain.

"What are you two doing up at this hour?" Snape eyed the both of them evilly. "Mr. Zhu, out for a midnight stroll?" Mark shook his head and looked at his feet. He didn't want to look at Snape.

"Oh? And what is it you are doing then? Loitering around the castle, staring off into space, and not doing your homework?"

Mark fidgeted with his hair and shook his head again.

"Then I suggest that the two of you go to bed."

With that Mark and Alyssa scampered off to their dormitories.

-

"Cindiness!" Sadie came in plopping on her bed. "I've finally finished Snape's stupid essay!" Cindi mumbled something about fluffy hair and covered her face in her pillow. "Cindi!" Sadie shook Cindi, "aren't you happy for me?"

Cindi sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked very disgruntled. "That's very wonderful, but I'm really sleepy. I had a bad day." and she fell back and pulled the covers over her head.

"Why, what happened?" Sadie patted Cindi on the back, "Did Alyssa do something again?"

"She's a bitch," Cindi mumbled. There was a long pause, then Cindi pulled down her covers, "she spilled pumpkin juice all over me." she said in a distraught voice.

"OMG she didn't!"

"She did!"

"But you hate pumpkin juice! You hate anything pumpkin!"

"I know!"

"Hey, if you don't mind some people are actually trying to get some sleep." The girly shouting had woken Kathy.

"Sorry!" said Cindi and Sadie at the same time.

-

Mangala tiptoed back to her dorm and quietly shut the door. She thought she had been quiet enough but as she turned around Stine was sitting up with her arms folded.

"What are you doing?"

Mangala screamed and jumped, "OMG you scared me!"

"Hehe," Stine smiled an evil smile and twiddled her fingers, "excellent."

"No no, it's like this," Mangala cleared her throat, "excellent," she said in a deep dark voice, "I am Satan." Stine's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, "That was scary."

"I know, muwahahaha."

"So where were you?"

"I was talking with Cindi, you know Cindi right?"

"Yea I know Cindi, I'm her best friend."

"Oh yea? Well I'm her lover."

"What! I'm her lover too!"

"What! That whore has been cheating on us!" Mangala and Stine laughed. It was these funny nonsense things about Cindi that made them laugh.

-

"Hey Mark," Cedric said as he looked up from his book as Mark walked into the common room.

"Huh? Uh, yea." said Mark without even looking at Cedric.

Mark was about to go up the stairs when Cedric interrupted again. "So what is it you do every night?" Cedric sat back in his chair in a cocky way. "I mean, every night you go out and do Merlin knows what and then stroll back in near midnight. You better watch it or we'll lose more points."

"Yea, right."

"So is Alyssa really your sister?"

Mark mumbled something that sounded like a yes.

"She's really smart, is she going with anyone?"

Mark's eyes widened so much you'd think they would've fallen out. "What!"

"No man, I know she's your sister but I can't help but notice her." Mark was beginning to feel dizzy not to mention uncomfortable. He didn't like hearing about other people talking about his sister in any form.

"Actually, I shouldn't say anything since I am going with Cho. So could you not mention I said anything to her?"

Mark mumbled something again and Cedric took it as a yes. "Thanks Mark, well good night!" Cedric closed his book and headed upstairs. Mark scratched his head and shifted his feet around. 'That was weird and he likes me sister ,' Mark shivered at the thought.

-

"Uh," Stine was befuddled and somewhat grossed out, "he proposed?"

"Well basically yea." Mangala beamed with joy. She couldn't help but tell people that the sexiest man alive was going to marry her.

"That's good," Stine tried to sound enthusiastic.

"Hey, I hear the Weasley twins have a thing for you."

"Haha, really? Well they're really hott." Stine chuckled to herself thinking about what happened that day.

"Well don't let Sadie find out or she'll kill you."

"Oh she knows, she knows."

-

"Morning Mangala! Morning Stine!" squeed Cindi as Mangala and Stine sat down at her table.

"Morning lover!" chimed Stine and Mangala together."

"What's for breakfast" yawned Blaise Zambini as he sat down.

"Biscuits with jam and juice," replied Dianna.

"Where's Draco?" asked Cindi. Blaise grabbed a biscuit and was spreading jam all over it, "I think he said he was going to talk to Harrison about something.

"Oh," just then the morning post came in, "Jimmy!" Cindi pet the owl and let it have a bit of biscuit.

"Cindi," said a cute little voice, "why did you name your owl Jimmy?"

"Yea, why Jimmy," crumbs were falling out of Blaise's mouth.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," said Dianna disgustedly as she handed Blaise a napkin.

"Why!" Cindi flailed her arms, "I'll show you why!" She got up and left the table. Everyone looked at each other in confusement. Cindi came back and brought someone with her. He was taller than Cindi by a head. He was somewhat scrawny and he would've had a coconut head if he hadn't spiked his hair.

"This is Jimmy," everyone ooed and awed. "This is my little brother, my annoying awesome little brother." Cindi hugged him, but Jimmy seemed to have an annoyed look on his face.

"You forgot to mention smart." Jimmy folded his arms and looked down at his weird older sister.

"Oh yea, he's smart too. Him and Albert are in Ravenclaw." again everyone ooed and awed.

"He can't be smarter than me though, right?" Dianna smirked and chuckled. Jimmy pushed Cindi and Stine aside. "Dianna! THE Dianna!" Dianna nodded nervously. "OMG, everyone in Ravenclaw has been talking about you!" At this point Jimmy was sitting very closely next to Dianna, which made Dianna feel uncomfortable. She was trying to move away from Jimmy but he kept edging closer and closer.

"Jimmy, you need to give Dianna some space or she'll hate you and want to kill you and then you'll never get a chance to befriend 'the smart one'." Cindi grabbed Jimmy by the shirt and yanked him out of his seat, "and besides, you've over stayed your welcome."

"Okay, bye" Jimmy smiled and waved as he headed back towards the Ravenclaw table.

"That still doesn't explain why you named your owl Jimmy," said Blaise as he drank his pumpkin juice.

"Because I wanted to okay, fucker?" and that was the end of the Jimmy owl explanation.

Cindi unfolded the Daily Prophet and began reading the front page headline outloud, "Serious-"

"What! What about Sirius," Mangala shook Cindi and slapped her, "tell me woman!"

"SERIOUS increase in demand for chocolate frogs has led to the making of newest Trillionaire, Mr. P. Zhu." Cindi replied sternly.

"What! That doesn't make any sense." Mangala looked confused, "What happened to Sirius?"

"OMG," everyone shouted. "It's not about Sirius! S-E-R-I-O-U-S, serious!" explained Cindi as she whacked Mangala in the head with the paper.

-

"Whatever is it Harrison, I want in on it." Draco pinned Harrison to the wall.

"Why? Didn't you already get her something? What was it.. a uh, shirtless picture of you?"

"Yea and she burned it." Draco looked hurt and angry at the same time.

"How'd you know that?"

"Pansy told me."

"Ew, a pansy?"

"No you bafoon, Pansy is her name."

"Oh.."

"So what'd you get her?" Draco tightened his hold on Harrison.

"You know," Harrison said in a casual tone, "this kinda turns me on."

"Ugh!" Draco let go Harrison and brushed his arms.

"Relax man, I won't tell anyone you came on to me," Harrison smiled and tried to reach for Draco, but Draco backed away. "Alright, you wanna know what I got her?"

"Why else would I talk to a fool like you?"

"Now now, that's no way to talk to me."

"Just tell me already!"

"Okay dude, check this out. I got her," Harrison's smile got bigger and there was a twinkle in his eyes, "I got her a farting toad!"

-

"I wonder what creature we're going to be playing with today." Cindi hummed a little song to herself. 'Alyssa Alyssa is going to die going to die going to DIE BY A TREEEEEEEE.'

"Play!" exclaimed Dianna and Sadie. The last time they "played" Dianna almost lost a hand and Sadie almost got her hair burned off.

"Right now, everybody gather 'round," Hagrid steered the kids over with one big swoop of his hand.

"Whee, I wonder what it is!" squeed Cindi. Animals always excited her, but most of the time she just ran away scared. Dianna and Sadie rolled their eyes. 'OMG there's Mark. Hehe. Aww, he's standing all by himself .' Cindi looked over in the corner where Mark was. Mark moved around in the same spot. He wasn't even paying attention to the class. He stared at the trees and watched a butterfly fly by.

"Today is your very lucky day. I got one of my centaur friends to come by so you can meet him." everyone looked kind of nervous. It was known that the centaurs didn't like humans. Harry and Hermione had almost gotten killed by one and Umbridge had gone crazy after one encounter.

"Everyone, I'd like to you meet Firenze, ta da!" Hagrid moved aside so Firenze could make his entrance. The class took a step back in fear of being attacked. But what came out wasn't Firenze.

"Oh Hullo," said a cheery voice. It was a centaur alright. He had dark hair and a long tail that swished back and forth.

"'Lo Jess, where's Firenze?"

"The clan is angry with him so he's kind of in hiding right now."

"Oh," Hagrid scratched his head.

"Yea, but I don't mind filling in for him."

"Perfect then! Everyone, this is Jess and he is a centaur. Go and pet him and whatnot because I have nothing else to say."

"Acutally it's Jesse."

Everyone went up to him and began petting him. "Haha, it tickles," Jesse wasn't used to so many people touching him. 'I think someone is touching my elbows, how weird.' Jesse looked at his arm and sure enough, someone was touching his elbows.

"Hullo, can I help you?"

"I love your elbows," smiled the girl.

"Cindi? Did you just touch the centaur's elbows?" Sadie looked at Cindi.

"I can't help it," Cindi blushed, "I love his elbows."

"Okay, this is too weird. I didn't agree to this." Jesse trotted away.

"Good job Cindi," said a sarcastic voice that stretched the last vowel. "You made the pretty centaur go away."

"Shut up Kevin," Cindi made a fist at Kevin. She walked away from him because he was starting to annoy her. She didn't notice where she was going and bumped into someone. "Sorry!" The person that she'd bumped into was Mark. 'OMG, it's him!' Cindi's heart was beating really fast"

"Huh? Oh it's okay." Mark shook his head.

-

"That girl was very weird," Jesse stopped and rested under a tree. Though it was weird Jesse couldn't stopped thinking about the wonderful feeling he got from her touching his elbows.

"This is WRONG!" he shouted at the trees. Jesse got up and started heading back to the class. When he got there he hid behind some trees. He noticed that the girl was nervously talking to some guy who wasn't even paying attention. For some odd reason, Jesse started charging towards them. He stopped in between them and looked at them both.

Mark and Cindi looked at Jesse with astonishment. "Uh," they both said for lack of something better to say.

"Uh is right," Jesse stepped back a little, "why did you touch my elbows and make them feel tingly?"

"You touched his elbows?" said Mark wide-eyed.

"Heh, yea I guess I did," Cindi scratched her head, "and I don't know why I touched your elbows. I guess cuz I think they're pretty." Cindi smiled.

"Pretty?" Jesse was confused. No one ever called his elbows pretty. People have said his hair was fluffy and nice etc, but no one ever mentioned his elbows.

"Class dismissed," yelled Hagrid, "get out of here all of ya."

"Haha, well I guess we better be going," but when Cindi looked up Mark was already gone. "So, bye!" Cindi rubbed his elbows again and left.

"Pretty!" Jesse still didn't understand.

A/N: OMG lots of love triangles and squares and such going on! Cindi burned the shirtless picture of Draco? How could she! Haha, I wouldn't do that in real life though. This chapter is the longest so far. I had lots of fun writing it.
