Thank you to all of my reviewers!Your reviews had really made my days!
A Trip To St. Mungo's
The cold weather of November was approaching and seventh year students were busy with their extra lessons to prepare for N.E.W.T.S. Chelsea and Ron hardly ever have anytime to relax and be on their own, considering Ron's Quidditch practices and Chelsea's extra N.E.W.T.S classes. Hermione and Harry somehow managed to find times, however-which is hardly impossible with Harry's Quidditch practices and Hermione's regular trip to the library. They have been going out for
Charm class was going pretty well until a second year boy came running into the classroom, holding an envelope.
"Professor...Professor Flitwick...I here have a letter addressed to..." paused the boy as he looks down at the envelope, "Harry and Chelsea Potter."
He handed the envelope to Harry and then left. Curiously, Harry opened the envelope quickly. Chelsea read the letter to harry and herself in a whisper.
"Dear Chelsea and Harry,
Come to Dumbledore's office as soon as you get this letter. We'll be taking a trip down to St. Mungo's. The password is Chocolate frog, but do not tell anyone.
-Sirius."
The twins glanced at each other and raised their eyebrows. The y gathered their things and went up to Professor Flitwick to show him the letter. Professor Flitwick nodded and dismissed them.
They hurried to Dumbledore's office and gasped for breath when they reached the gargoyle. "Chocolate-gasp-frog.." said Harry breathlessly. The gargoyle moved slightly to become stairs that leads to Dumbledore's office. They knocked on the door and went into the circular room when they heard, "Enter."
Dumbledore was sitting down on his chair and Sirius was sitting down on the chair opposite him. He stood up to give the twins a hug.
"What's going on, Professor?" asked Chelsea curiously.
"I think that it is Sirius' right to tell you about what had happened," replied Dumbledore softly.
"Ok, what's going on, Sirius?" asked Harry
"Well, you see, what had happened was..um..Lily blew up at James about us Marauders sneaking into the girls' dormitory while we were at school, and James kept on protesting and couldn't calm her down, so he called me. I apparated and accidentally laid on top of James' leg and well..." Sirius took a deep sigh and gave the twins an apologetic look," I sort of, kind of, accidentally, um...broke his leg. Lily got mad again and hexed me, so I pointed my wand at her and I was about to counter a spell but I swear I DIDN'T...and one of the wall art fell down and hit Lily's arm," said Sirius quickly. Chelsea raised her eyebrows and blew up at Sirius while Harry just chuckled.
"YOU DID WHAT?" she exclaimed
"Well, it was an accident!" protested Sirius helplessly. Harry was still chuckling.
"AND SHUT IT, HARRY! THEY'RE OUR PARENTS!" shouted Chelsea to Harry.
"GOD, CHELS, WILL YA TAKE A JOKE!" yelled Harry
"That's enough, Mr. and Miss Potter, now you two will travel with Sirius to St. Mungo's to visit your parents, do you understand?" said Professor Dumbledore
"Yes, sir," replied the twins
"I have arranged a portkey that will take you there. I expect for the both of you to be back here by Monday."
"Thank you, sir."
Chelsea, Harry, and Sirius grabbed the Portkey and in five seconds was at the receptionist's desk at St. Mungo's. Sirius headed to the desk and was about to ask where James and Lily were, but saw the blonde healer and started flirting with her.
"Hello, beautiful, my two friends, Lily and James Potter were just admitted here. Will you tell me where they are at right at this moment?" asked Sirius in his oh-so-sweet voice.
"Lily and James Potter...fifth floor, second door to your right. I need you to sign in on the visitor's list, please, Mr..."
"Black," Sirius signed the paper. He put a star next to his name and left his address next to his name," and visit me soon, I think my stomach is full of butterflies that you need to sort out."
Behind him, Chelsea and Harry were disgusted and annoyed at Sirius. They headed up to him and pulled him off the desk.
"Come on, loverboy, we're going," said Chelsea in an annoyed voice.
"I'LL SEE YOU SOON, MY PRETTY!" yelled Sirius to the receptionist as Chelsea and Harry dragged him away.
They finally reached Lily and James' room. They opened the door to find James's left leg in a cast and Lily's right arm hanging on a sling. Harry approached Lily's bed and Chelsea went up to James' bed.
"Mum, are you okay?"
"Yes, love, I'm fine. We're just waiting for healer Schmidt to come down and check on us, then we'll be back home," said Lily in a much calmer voice.
"Why can't they just make you drink some Skele-Gro or just conjure a spell?" asked Chelsea.
"They're going to do that when healer Schmidt comes," explained James.
"Hah, lucky I was there to take you both here," said Sirius proudly.
"If you weren't there none of us would be here, mate," James said in an annoyed voice.
Sirius ignored them.
Healer Schmidt came at last and conjure the spells. The Potters and Sirius apparated back to their house and Chelsea and Harry gasped at the sight of their destroyed living room.
"Gee, Dad, exactly how many times have you been to the girls' dormitory?"
"Four or five," snapped Lily as she cast an angry look at James. James just sighed.
"Beats me," said Harry under his breath.
"Excuse me, young man, but, what did you say?" snapped Lily to her son as Chelsea just shrugged.
"Nothing! I didn't say anything!" exclaimed Harry.
"I knew it was something, you might as well spill it or I'll force it out of you!" snarled Lily. Harry stayed quiet and gave his little sister his you-better-not-tell look. Chelsea smiled mischievously as she blurted out,
"He and Ron snuck into the girls' dormitory."
"YOU TOO?" shouted Lily
"Well, you see, mummy, we had to do that , it was a matter of life and death, you see..." explained Harry as he bats his eyelashes, hoping that his mum will not punish him.
"A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH? WHO'S LIFE AND DEATH?"
"Ron's"
"WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO GO THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?"
"Well, it was mine, but.."
"THAT'S IT, YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE! FROM NOW ON I'M BANNING YOU FROM YOUR HOGSMEADE TRIPS!"
"WHAT? MUM THAT'S UNFAIR! DAD, TELL HER THAT'S UNFAIR!"
"Lils, that's unfair," said James softly
"Yeah, Lils, you can just break his leg or something," suggested Sirius
"Shut up, Sirius," snapped Lily,"And you, young man, are banned from two of your Hogsmeade trips and if you cross the line again, you are grounded next summer!" she added to Harry.
"Ok, ok, sheesh!" replied Harry. He gave Chelsea a dangerous look and headed upstairs to his room. Chelsea did the same. Harry slammed his door and Chelsea can hear him sulking from her room. She headed to her desk to write Ron a letter.
Dear Ron,
Don't worry, I'm fine. My mum blew up at my dad (again) and destroyed half of the house. It was over a silly matter, really. Sirius broke my dad's leg and my mum's arm, but they're okay now. We'll be back at Hogwarts by Monday, seeing that today is Friday. Harry just got yelled at, because I sort of told that you guys snuck into our dormitory. Mum says if he cross the line one more time, he's grounded this summer.
I'll miss you this weekend and I'll see you Monday.
Love,
Chels
P.S.: Harry's banned from the next two Hogsmeade trip. Ha..ha..ha..
Someone knock at her door. Softly she said, "Come in," and Lily entered her room. Her face was bright red after yelling to James and Harry.
"What's up, mum?" asked Chelsea as Lily lays down on her daughter's bed.
"Those boys will never grow up. Harry's 17, but he acts as if he's 9. James' 37, but he acts as if he's 15. When you children were born, I was hoping that you and James will grow up together, but I guess James will never grow up," sighed Lily.
"Well,mum, I think that you're taking this a bit too seriously. I mean, what dad did was a long time ago,"
"Yeah, you're probably right. I should go apologize to him, right?" asked Lily. Chelsea nodded.
"Thanks, sweetheart," said Lily. She gave Chelsea a kiss on her forehead and walked out of the room.
Across the hall, Harry was writing a letter to Hermione on his desk.
Dear 'Mione,
Hey babe, I'm here at my house. My mum and dad argued (again) and thanks to Sirius they both ended up at St. Mungo's with a broken leg and arm. But no worries, they're okay now. Chelsea just sold me out to my mum about me and Ron sneaking into your dormitory and my mum blew up at me. Now I have to miss TWO Hogsmeade trips and mum says if I "cross the line one more time" she'll ground me next summer.
Anyway, my parents and Sirius are downstairs fixing up our destroyed living room (all credits go to Lily Potter, James Potter, and Sirius Black, obviously). Chelsea's in her room doing whatever it is she's doing. And I'm here, in my room, missing you every second that I'm not with you. I love you and I'll see you when I get back on Monday.
Love,
Harry.
He went out of his bedroom to find Hedwig the same time Chelsea got out of her room to get Fly, the family owl. They said nothing to each other on their way downstairs until they've sent their letters and went back to their rooms.
Sirius stayed for dinner and at first it was an unusually quiet dinner. Sirius broke the silence and everyone laughed at his jokes. The adults were talking-they made up with each other already. It was a very unusual dinner at the Potters. The situation was strange and quiet...until after dinner.
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH!" screamed Chelsea. Harry had poured ice down the back of her shirt.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" hollered Lily as she walked halfway into the living room from the kitchen.
James and Sirius laughed their heads off in the living room at the sight of Chelsea screaming.
"Nothing!" yelled James and Sirius.
Lily went back to the kitchen, trying to trust James and Sirius that nothing's wrong. Chelsea went into the kitchen, leaving the three laughing boys in the living room. She had a very annoyed face as she stomped up the stairs.
"What's wrong, honey?"
"Men exists, that what's wrong," she said sarcastically as she headed upstairs to her room.
