A/N: Part Two! Woohoo! It would've been out earlier, but my computer was acting all weird. Oo

Delayed Start: 5. Booger Flavored Beans (and Aileen's other power) Part Two

She let go of Harry's hand when all of a sudden, a boy with bright red hair ran up behind him. "Harry, where were you? We've been looking all over for you!" He turned his head to look over his shoulder. "Hermione, he's over here!"

A girl with brown eyes and wavy brown hair made her way across the busy street. "Oh, Harry, don't run off like that! We couldn't find you!" she cried. "Who's this?" Hermione had just noticed Aileen.

"Oh, this is Aileen, you guys." Harry said. "She was the one that the Ministry made a mistake on."

"Oh, I read about that in the daily prophet!" said the redhead.

"Ron, you actually read something?" both Harry and Hermione looked at him.

"I, um, hey, I'm hungry. Let's go to the Hog's Head and get something to drink, I have a bunch of candy with me. Aileen, wanna come?"

Aileen was surprised with the invitation. "I still have a lot of shopping to do, and-"

"We all do!" Hermione blurted. "We can do it all together afterwards, if you'd like."

"Well, okay!" She tucked away the paper and followed them as they led her to the Hog's Head. Once there, they found a table and Harry ordered four butterbeer's for them.

"Two things, you guys," said Aileen. "First of all, what's butterbeer?"

"Butterbeer's this really awesome drink," Ron replied. "It's the best thing that you'll ever taste."

"Oh, okay. But um, I don't have enough money to pay for it. I only have enough for my school supplies."

"Don't worry about it! Harry's paying for everything. He's rich!"

Harry glared at him. "Ron,"

"Well you are!" Ron said in defense. "You have more money than you'd ever need!"

Harry sighed, then turned to Aileen. "Well, he's right that I'm paying, so don't worry about it. Everything's on me."

"Thank you, but won't your parents get mad at you?" she asked.

Everyone stiffened. "What did I say?" she whispered, surprised at their reaction.

Hermione leaned over to her and whispered into her ear. "Aileen, his parents are dead. They were murdered when he was a baby, by a wizard who was trying to kill him in the first place. That's how he got the scar on his forehead."

Aileen gaped, horrified. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it, I didn't know! I'm sorry Harry!"

"It's okay." Harry said, relaxing. "You're right, you didn't know."

"Are you sure, I mean,"

"It's fine, Aileen, don't worry about it. Seriously." he added on. "Here's the Butterbeers!" a waitress came over to their tables and set them down. "Ron, you said you had candy?"

"Yep!" he smiled, then emptied a bag out on the table. "Aileen, these are chocolate frogs," he said, pointing to a box, "They are charmed to hop around, which is cool, but they have a wizard card in every pack! And these are Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans, which have literally every single flavor imaginable!" he sat down, happy with his little explanation, and grabbed a chocolate frog. "Dig in!"

Aileen grabbed a box of the beans from the table. "Will do!"

"Be careful," Harry said, "There actually is every single flavor, even a vomit flavored one."

"Eww," Aileen said, scrunching her mouth up. "I'll be careful." She opened the box and picked around at the beans, spotting a red one and hoping that it was the flavor she thought it was. She popped it into her mouth and bit down on it gingerly, relieved to find out that it was, in fact, cherry.

She continued picking through the beans and drinking butterbeer with her friends until a shadow fell over the table.

"Didn't expect to find you here Potter." spat a voice. Aileen turned around to see an extremely pale boy with bleach-blonde hair and silver-blue eyes sneer at Harry.

"What do you want now, Malfoy," Harry growled. Aileen absentmindedly popped a random bean into her mouth.

"Nothing that would interest you or that mudblood friend of yours," he replied, nodding at Hermione. She flinched.

All of a sudden Aileen's eyes bulged and she spat out the bean onto the pale boy's robes, earning a shocked expression from everyone at the table. "Sorry!" Aileen cried, startled at what she had done, "It was booger flavored!"

He glared at her. "You!" he snarled, clenching his fists, "You'll pay for that!" he took a step towards her and Aileen froze out of fear. Harry jumped up from his chair, but he was too late.

Aileen felt something on her shoulder jump out of her jacket, and saw a white blur as Charlie flew at the boy's face. "No!" she cried, "Charlie!"

Charlie landed on the boy, and sank his fangs into his pale flesh, earning a painful shriek from him, then let go.

"RARR!" the boy hollered, covering his bloodied face with his hands. "I'll get you for that, you just wait!" he hollered, and ran out the door. Charlie slithered up Aileen's leg and re-entered her jacket.

Aileen was in shock. Everyone at the surrounding tables stared at her, including the others sitting at her own table.

Harry suddenly grabbed her arm. "Let's go, now." he spoke softly, leading her through the door with Ron and Hermione following close behind. They went into an alley, and stopped. "What happened back there?" he whispered.

"Was that a bloody snake that mauled Malfoy?" Ron shrieked.

"I-I-I," Aileen backed up. "I didn't think that would happen, I didn't think that Charlie would-"

"Just calm down" Hermione soothed, "Calm down and explain what's going on."

Aileen collapsed against the wall, the shock finally releasing her. "Well, I guess I better go through with this." she sighed. "Charlie is my pet snake. I can talk to him, and he tends to be protective of me."

The others froze. "D-did you say that you talked to him?" Harry said, glancing at Ron and Hermione for explanation, but they had the same expression on their own faces.

"Yes." she pulled Charlie out of her jacket where he was resting. "Guys, Charlie, Charlie, guys." Charlie hissed. "He says that he is pleased to meet you, and he was sorry for causing all that trouble."

"I know," Harry whispered.

"What?" Aileen tilted her head at him, and, oddly, Charlie did the same.

"Oh!" Harry's eyes grew bigger at realizing what he had just revealed. "Nothing! I-I mean, you can speak parseltongue?"

"Yes..." Aileen said slowly. "Why?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, but Hermione was the one that spoke up. "Oh, nothing. It's just rare, that's all."

"Any other secrets that you'd like to share with us?" Harry said slowly.

"Well," Aileen thought for a minute, not sure if she should tell them or not. She made up her mind. "Yes. There is something."

"Well," Ron spoke up, "What is it?"

"I can mimic any human voice perfectly."

"Haha, yeah right." Ron laughed, and Aileen looked a little hurt. "Prove it."

"Is this proof enough?" she said, matching the tone and pitch of Ron's voice exactly.

"Wha," Ron looked dumbfounded. "That is bloody awesome!" he hollered. Harry and Hermione stepped back at this, surprised at his reaction.

"You can really do that?" Hermione said softly.

"Yes," Aileen replied, this time copying Harry's voice.

Harry's jaw dropped. "Wow, you really can do that!"

Aileen smiled. "So you don't think that I'm a freak?"

"No, but I think I know what house that you're going to be in." he replied, looking at her shoulder, where Charlie had flown out before.

"Yeah, me too," she said, understanding what he meant. "By the way, what house are you guys in?"

"We're all in Gryffindor," Hermione said.

Aileen looked down. "Oh. What house is that boy in?"

"Oh, Draco?"

"I guess, that Malfoy kid."

"That's him. He's in Slytherin."

"Shit. Just my luck." They all looked at her sympathetically.

"Hey!" Hermione said cheerfully, attempting to bring them out of their mood, "We still have a ton of shopping to do!"

"Hey, you're right!" Aileen looked up happily. "Let's get to it!" So, the four new friends went off to finish their shopping.

A/N: Well, that's it, folks! Part two, donerino. Yes, that is a word. Since I made it up :P. Aileen's voice ability WILL come into play, I didn't just pop it into there for no reason. So don't think that this was a filler. It definitely wasn't.

I'll be putting the next one out there Saturday.

Until Saturday, Kyogera
