Ron, Hermione and Harry sat down for lunch, after a very strange Care of Magical Creature's class indeed.
"I'm telling you, they're not normal muggles!" Ron said shaking his head to his two best friends.
"Definitely not," Harry said thinking of the Dursleys, then again they weren't too normal themselves.
"Ron," Hermione said glancing at him disapprovingly. Vicki same slipping by and squeezed in between Harry and Hermione.
"Hello good chaps," she greeted then grabbed the jug of pumpkin juice, and swung a sip, then spitted it out, covering Ron in it.
"Ugh! What is this vile liquid!" she demanded. Ron made a noise of disgust as he wiped himself off, and Hermione kindly turned to Victoria.
"Well, you see," she said speaking slowly. "It's pumpkin juice, and-". She stopped talking, seeing how Vicki had got up and crawled across the table, knocking everyone's goblets down and trampling through their food to sit over by Fred and George Weasley and Lee Jordan, who seemed to think this muggle girl was highly amusing.
Harry froze, feelings someone's hand grazing through his hair gently. "There's one behind me, isn't there?" he asked through his teeth, and Hermione nodded.
Nicole hugged Harry tightly from behind and then slid over on his lap. Harry sat frozen, and looked at Ron and Hermione with pleading eyes.
"Er, hello," Hermione said and Nicole glanced at her coolly, before extending a hand to shake. Hermione went to grab it, but Nicole pulled her hand away.
"TOOO SLOW!" she shouted and then slapped a DUMMY sticker on her forehead. While Hermione was busy trying to rip the sticker off her forehead, Nicole smiled brightly at Ron and Harry. Her eyes wandered, spotting Vicki. "HI VICTORIA OF GRYFFINDOR HOUSE!" she said waving to her. Ron and Harry glanced at Vicki who had jumped up on the table and began doing a jig and kicking food in everyone's faces in the process, and Nicole quickly slipped something into Harry's drink.
"You know I think it's time for class," Harry said annoyed, and shoved Nicole along to the Slytherin table, then heaved a sigh, muttering 'Muggles,'.
"And now there's nothing left to drink either!" Ron complained looking at the mess Vicki had caused. "You don't mind, do you Harry?" Ron asked picking up his goblet. Harry shook his head, and Ron took a sip from Harry's goblet, suddenly looking dreaming. "I've got to make her mine!" Ron declared jumping up.
Hermione and Harry stared at him in surprise. "Er, who Ron?" Hermione asked then winced, managing to take the sticker off, leaving a mark on her forehead.
"Nicole," Ron sighed dreamily gazing at her lovingly. "Please, just, let me," he said starting to walk but Harry and Hermione grabbed him and dragged him to Charms.
The fourth year Slytherins made their way to Transfiguration with the Hufflepuffs.
Nicole sat down grumpily with Janelle, and Dee made her way over as well.
"How did you love potion work out?" Janelle asked, poking her wand at the ferret in front of her, turning
it blue.
"Ron drank it, not Harry!" Nicole said un happily, and Dee looked to Janelle. "How are you and Draco?"
"Well, today he spat on me and even told me to shut up," Janelle said brightly. "What about you and Snape?"
"Well I think I'm his favourite student," Dee said, puzzling herself.
MEANWHILE IN CHARMS...
The Gryffindors sat along with the Ravenclaws, all practicing a new spell.
Kaylyn and Victoria sat chatting, while Breanne, in a janitors outfit, swept the classroom for no apparent reason.
"So how's it going!" Vicki asked squeakily.
"Fine," Kaylyn said politely, and Vicki winked and nudged her. "Any boys caught your eye?".
Kaylyn raised her eyebrows. "Don't you know?"
"Know what?" Vicki asked digging around her ear with her finger.
"About my boyfriend, silly,"
'WHO," she demanded and the whole class jumped in fright.
"Cedric Diggory," Kaylyn said smiling slightly.
Vicki goggled at her and Breanne crept over.
"I'm going to get Draco Malfoy!" she announced triumphantly, and stood up and heroic music played, and a wind whipped at her hair and she stared forward
Kaylyn cleared her throat, and the music stopped abruptly. "Doesn't Janelle like him too?" she asked.
"Yeessss," Breanne said growling and she barred her two front teeth threatening, then sat up happily. "But I got a plan to win him over," she said nodding impressively.
Vicki who was half listening as she used her wand to scratch her back, looked at Breanne lazily. "And what will you dooo?" she asked squeakily.
"Whatever it takes," Breanne said nodding. "I deserve JUSTICE," she shouted banging her fist on the table, and Professor Flitwich who was at the end of the table was sent flying off by the force.
Vicki watched for a moment before looking back at her friends. "Well I like Fred, George, Lee, Dean, Seamus, Ernie, Davies,-". She began and did not finish her until the end of class and as they were heading to the Great Hall. "Peeves, Neville,-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Breanne yelled and ran away to the safety of the Ravenclaw table. Kaylyn glanced at Vicki who continued to ramble on and slunk away to the Hufflepuff table, and sat down with Cedric Diggory, where he smiled and slipped his arm around her.
Meanwhile, Ron sat at Gryffindor table, and stared across the Great Hall pathetically at the Slytherin table, eying Nicole. He heaved an enormous sigh. "She looks so wonderful in the light of the candles doesn't she?" he swooned Harry who glanced over at his shoulders and looked at Nicole and Janelle who were doing German polka on top of the table.
"Er, whatever you say mate," Harry said shaking his head.
Hermione came up and sat down in between her. "Hogmeade trip this weekend," she informed them as she piled food on her plate.
"Excellent! I'll ask Nicole to go with me!" Ron said excitedly, and Harry and Hermione glanced at each other.
Dumbledore surveyed the students from his place at the staff table. Dee was sitting alone, but didn't seem to mind as she watched Snape dreamily, Kaylyn was cuddled up with Cedric, Janelle and Nicole were still showing off their German polka dance moves, Breanne was buried in a book of dark spells and Vicki was sitting with a group of unfortunate Ravenclaw boys, and was talking about her shirt again. The Headmaster shook his head, and put his fingertips together, and watched interestedly. "How delightful.." he muttered to himself. "How delightful indeed.."
