Author's Note: (Must Read!)
I adjusted the timeline to make the characters more of my generation (I am currently 17).But the story takes place on their 6th year, so everything took place last year. It's not that huge a leap (just a couple of years). It's more fun (for me, anyway). It might make it easier for people to relate to the characters. I love Harry Potter, I do. I agree that JKR is a genius! But if there's one thing that I would change, though, it's the timeline in which the whole story happens. I dunno. Whatever. So take it easy on the flaming! Haha! Oh, and this may not seem like an hp fic at first but I'll get there soon enough. This is all in good fun ok? I'll try my best to make up for the changes.
Disclaimer:
I do not own Harry Potter and all the stuff you know I don't own (cartoons, brands from the book or our own "world", famous people, songs etc.).
Chapter 1: I must be losing it
My phone alarm rang. Or rather, sang.
"F is for FRIENDS who do stuff together, U is for YOU AND MEEEE, N is for ANYwhere and ANYtime at ALL down here in the deep blue SEAAAAAA…".
I hastily grabbed my cel and click on 'Stop Alarm'. I then laughed to myself because a stampede of elephants could not wake up my best friend Ysa who was sleeping on a cot on the floor. Illa, her younger sister who is just as hopeless, was next to her and was relishing her own deep slumber. And I, meanwhile, wake up instantly to the sound of Spongebob's singing on my cell phone.
My bag was beside the bed so I picked it up. Groggily I walked to the bathroom, rubbing my eyes. Another sleepover accomplished. I dropped my bag, washed my face and looked in the mirror. Staring back at me (rather sleepily) was a wet, slightly tanned face. I like to think I look decent enough, if not a little pretty. I look ok. Yeah. Sure, my hair is all tangled up right now, I thought, but I just woke up. I brushed my thick, wavy shoulder-length dark hair and yawned. My dark brown eyes were finally free of eye-snot (Did I mention I like to make up words? Or that I'm slightly gross?) and were quite lovely once more. Don't think I'm being stuck up because when we (my friends and I) praise ourselves, it's a kind of joke. But my eyes are my favorite feature.
I start to brush my teeth when Ysa's cel started to ring (her ring tone sounds like a siren). She wakes up instantly and starts texting rapidly. Obviously, she only wakes up to the sound of her own cel.
I spat out the scum on the sink and popped my head out the bathroom door.
"I swear, Ysa, you'll wear out your thumbs before you know it!" I teased.
"Haha, no way," she replied, "my thumbs have calluses thicker than the sole of my feet". She doesn't, by the way.
"Dude, that's just gross," I half-said, half-laughed.
I then gargled on some water and proceeded to the shower. Ahh, I thought as the water sprayed on my body. I closed my eyes and pretended I was someplace else. I was bathing in a waterfall, like ninjas/samurais in training! I smiled. And suddenly I felt a mist come over me. I opened my eyes. The light green tile was replaced by rock, and the water came down way heavier than it did just a few seconds ago. Oh my God, what's happening?, I thought. When I turned around, I was faced with a beautiful landscape. Evergreen trees…grass…wildflowers…boulders...villagers. My jaw dropped as I saw the peasants-from-the middle-ages villagers, looking all too real, washing their clothes on the stream. One of them finally stopped what she was doing and gasped. She saw me standing there, for there I was. Naked before them.
SHRIEEEEEEEEEK!
I felt a jolt. I was back in the shower.
Quickly, I got out of the shower, dried myself with a towel and got dressed. When I stumbled out of the bathroom, Ysa looked up from her cel.
"Are you ok?" Ysa asked worriedly, "You look pale."
"Umm…yeah. I just…nothing. Haha. It's nothing." I smiled weakly.
"You had a feeling?"
"A…a what?"
"You know…a sudden feeling. It could be of fright, sadness. It doesn't need to have a reason to suddenly come to you."
"Sort of," I lied. I sat on the bed and hugged a pillow.
"That's just the way of the universe to prepare you for what's coming up." Ysa reassured. She got up and sat beside me.
"It's ok," she gave me a hug.
"Yeah. It is," I smiled and hugged her back.
Ysa then let go and jumped up from the bed. "I'll go tell Francia to fix us some breakfast," she announced. So she walked out of the room.
I looked down at Illa who was still snoring into her pillow. She had gotten a cold the other day. She needed rest, so I didn't wake her up. I just hugged myself, trying to warm myself. The mist always seems to linger a little even after it's finished.
It was all so real.
