CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
"Buh?" Harry said pulling back.
"Oh yah Ron?" Emma-Leigh said, clearly upset that he had interrupted.
"Yes!" Ron replied, obviously not catching the upset bit.
"Care to explain?" Harry asked still red in the face.
"Well we are going to have some Hogwarts style fun." Even his friends blank stairs didn't damper his excitement. "COME ON!" He ran from the room.
"Uh…?"
"I guess we'd better follow him." They walked out outside and harry saw two familiar faces.
"Hi" The twins chorused.
"Gred, Forge? What are you doing here?" Fred and George around them at the magenta Weasley Wizard Wheezes boxes that were piled all around them.
"Well…"
"You see…"
"We decided…"
"That having our little…"
"Brother in a…"
"Different country…"
"Might be…"
"Good for…"
"Business." The twins finished together. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Yah, yah, yah. We've got fun in a box here! I won't be bored anymore." A dreamy expression fell over his face.
"Uh.. one request. Try and keep it clean, sorta, at least." Emma-Leigh said looking at the boxes that said 'Portable Swamp' written in green writing.
"How'd you guys get here?" Harry asked
"Walked" George sarcastically replied,
"Well now George. Stop with the sarcastic tones. We did walk right into the fire place."
"Yes but we talked too. BEWITCHMENT SCHOOL OF SORCERY! We said."
"Why does your school have such a long name?"
"With Hogwarts all you have to say is Hogwarts."
"Sure you can add the rest but who does?"
"You don't have to add school of sorcery you fools." Hermione interrupted.
"Yah well…"
"Enough talky more funny!" Ron said.
"That made no sense Ronald" Ron stuck out his tongue.
"Oh no!" Friend said wide eyed. "He's returned to a child like state."
"We're doooooomed." Everyone laughed. Ron rolled his eyes.
"If he starts biting run." Fred said worried.
"Ha ha… lets go!" So the Auditorium Geeks who were always up for a little fun and mischief, joined up with he Hogwarts and ex Hogwarts pranksters and set off to work. After the mood changing spells were in place around all the doors and some other mischievous spells put up (specially around the football players area, a known enemy of the Drama fags) each of the pranksters stood in different area's of the school. They waited till the specified time and then they all set off some Weasley Wildfire Whiz bangs. The effect was exactly what they wanted. The noise scared everyone out of their beds. As the Bewitchment students ran out of their rooms (most in their pj's) they oohed and ahhed over the beautiful display… it wasn't until few people noticed the change in their friends hair people began to realize that the beautiful fireworks display had been a distraction. The Hogwarts students and the Drama freaks were happily laughing inside the Auditorium, listening to the buzz outside.
"Well I must say that was fun. It's going to be a shame when they all murder us tomorrow." Ron said
"We'll run away to P-ville tomorrow, they won't catch us." Court said.
"Yah and its not exactly like hurt anyone." Harry added. They decided it would be a good time to go to sleep, since the girls had no sleep the night before. They said good bye to the Weasley twins and went to bed.
XxX
The next day on the way to breakfast they saw the floors and walls covered with magenta flyers. On these flyers were lists of the WWW merchandise. Many of the BSS students read the flyers with interest. Ron looked happy.
"I am going to get such a huge present for Christmas next year." He grinned to himself as they entered the dining area. His grin faltered as every head in the room turned towards them, and as they saw their natural hair colours (except Michelle who currently had pink and blonde hair, which is natural for Michelle.) and their hair turned black.
"Well they don't look happy." Hermione whispered.
"Meh they don't like us any ways. Drama people are scary." The auditorium groupies laughed and went to their corner. (Which Kiki had left for them)
"We are going to need to watch our backs." Eric said.
"Like we care, this is what we do." Emma-Leigh said eating some of her hash browns.
"Yes but you get to leave after this. We have to stay and face the wrath."
"Just say you know the people who invented the stuff and they have a lot more tricks up their sleeves. That aren't posted on the inventory lists." Draco said without looking up from his breakfast. They looked over at him.
"That's not such a bad idea." Eric said and they continued to eat they're breakfasts. They finished quickly and went to get changed into muggle clothing, casting floo powder into the fire and wound up at a small restaurant very much like the Leaky Cauldron, called the faulty wand. It was surprisingly warm for a march morning in P-ville and it looked like the sun would continue to shine all day. The Parksvillans showed the Hogwartites around the small town, showing them the cute little shops along the way. They got to the park down near the beach and decided to have a bit of child like fun. The sand was dry so they took off their shoes and ran towards the playground equipment. Emma-Leigh ran to her favourite swing and started to pump. She got higher and higher until she could see clear over the top of the old bar. High to the point where she free fell before the swing started to take motion.
"Emma-Leigh you're going to hurt yourself!" Harry said as he saw her plummet, her golden hair flying wildly behind her. She looked over at him and, while still high in the air she jumped off and almost landed face first in the sand. AS she stood up whipping the sand off her knees she said.
"You worry way to much Mr. Potter. I am perfectly capable to handle my swinging antics thank you." The pink haired Michelle came running over.
"OMIGOD Emmelz! Draco has never mini golfed!" Emma-Leigh's eyes widened.
"Well, I guess we know where to go next."
XxX
They arrived at the brightly coloured Paradise Mini golf. A few minutes later after trudging up the steep hill from the beach and a short walk along the highway. They got a few stares from passers by; seeing a large group of teenagers was intimidating, especially when they were as loud as the Hogwarts and Bewitchment students. Draco was complaining about being thirsty so they walked into the large building that looked like a castle and bought ice creams.
"Okay so there are two courses we can go on the boring one, or the pirate ship." Michelle said as she licked her chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
"Hmm let's go with the boring one" Ron said sarcastically.
"If you say so…" Michelle said as she started walking to her right. Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her over to the first hole on the pirate side explaining sarcasm to her. Harry had been mini golfing once before on one of those ruining Dudley's birthday outings so he had the gist. Ron was a little over fervent with his putting skills so Hermione was trying her best to help him out. Draco… really just SOL sucked out loud. He couldn't hold the stick right, he couldn't hit the ball, it was like a car accident, you didn't want to look but you couldn't take your eyes off it; it was almost painful. After Harry hot a third hold in one going up the pirate ship (the hardest hole in the place(apparently he had natural talent)) Draco actually threw his putter into the blue water surrounding them.
"Draco! Temper, temper!" Michelle said, she looked around before summoning the putter from the shallow depths.
"I hate this, does Potter have to beat me at everything?" he whined.
"Oohh reverting to last names there Drakey?" Emma-Leigh said in a mocking voice. Draco grumbled and continued to the next hole. They (with the exception of Draco) enjoyed themselves very much.
"This one's my favourite." Emma-Leigh said as they walked underneath a blue waterfall. Emma-Leigh grabbed Harry and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Uh, not that I'm complaining but what was that fore?" Emma-Leigh smiled
" No reason, I've just always wanted to do that." The finished off their round of golf, (not fast enough for Draco) and went into the other half of the giant castle to where the arcade games were. It turns out that to make up for his lack of skill in golfing Draco made up for it in excellent arcade game mastery.
"Damn I should've been in there the whole time!" Draco said as his machine spit out hundreds of little tickets.
"Yes Draco your wonderful." Michelle said patting him on the back rolling her eyes. "Its time to go now" His eyes drooped, he looked like a sad little puppy.
"Okay Draco, one! More game."
XxX
"Honestly Draco, how did your mother put up with you when you were younger?" Draco smiled,
"She never said no." he said with a shrug. He managed to get another six games out of the 'one more game only' and was now carrying a very large stuffed animal that he bought with the tickets. The all laughed as they walked up into town.
"Where the hell are we going?" Emma-Leigh asked.
"Umm" Courteney replied.
"We're going up to the SOS youth center to meet up with your mum." Michelle said.
"On a Saturday?"
"Uh yah, we had a meeting because we all knew you could stay for the last three weeks, and decided to have a honorary Friday night thing on Saturday, so you could hang out with your old posse." Emma-Leigh smiled,
"Wait a sec, you've known for this long and you didn't tell me."
"Why else do you think I haven't written in a while? Like I could write you a whole letter and not spill the beans."
"Okay lets go see my Mum!" Harry went a little whiter then he usually was. Emma-Leigh laced her fingers through his and squeezed his hand tight.
"Don't look so scared, Mum's awesome. She'll love you." Emma-Leigh whispered with a smile. Harry began to feel better. 'if she's anything like her mum everything will be just fine.'
XxX
A few of the BSS students decided to go back to the school, leaving Emma-Leigh, the Hogwarts gang, Michelle and Mandy to go to the SOS alone. It wasn't their scene when Emma-Leigh lived here, and it certainly wasn't their scene now. Emma-Leigh pulled open the heavy red door leading into the SOS Child, Youth, and Family center. She was greeted by a familiar sight, stairs leading up to the left, sign in sheet in front of her, and doors leading to the right; where she knew her mum was just a few steps away.
"Sign me in Mish?" she saw her pink haired friend nod as she let go of Harry's hand and went running into the other room.
"MUMMY!" Emma-Leigh collided with the blonde woman. "I've missed you so much!" the blonde woman looked down at the hysterical girl clutching her.
"Who the hell is this British girl?" she said with a smile. Emma-Leigh hit her mum on the arm.
"Shut up!"
"Wow, when Misha said you had and accent, I had no idea! And who are these new faces!" Emma-Leigh gave her mum another hug,
"Okay this is Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Draco Malfoy." Carol eyed her new friends.
"Well you seem like an all right bunch."
"Thank you Mrs. Newman." Emma-Leigh started to laugh as her mum's eyes widened and Michelle snickered.
"Not many people call me that… Its usually Carol."
"Or Mum," Emma-Leigh added.
"Well Mum its nice to meet you." Draco drawled.
"You know what, that sounds really weird coming from you." Michelle said as she patted her boyfriend on the head. He glared at her as he grabbed his comb and fixed his hair.
"I see why you are friends with him" Carol said Emma-Leigh stuck out her tongue at her mum, yes she had an obsessive compulsive tendency about her hair so what?
"EMMELZ!" Emma-Leigh whipped around and she saw one of her favourite people who just happens to be her wife running towards her.
"DANI!" Emma-Leigh said as she ran towards her and hugged her like a mad fool.
"The parties up stairs Emmelz, what are you doing down here!"
"She's remembering that she has a mother." Carol said.
"Well have you said hi?" Emma-Leigh nodded. "have you hugged." Emma-Leigh nodded once more. "Good lets go!" she grabbed Emma-Leigh by the arm and dragged her upstairs, Emma-Leigh grabbed Harry, Harry grabbed Ron, Ron grabbed Hermione, Hermione grabbed Michelle, Michelle grabbed Draco, and they in a long line walked up the stairs to Emma-Leigh's second home upstairs of the SOS.
XxX
The noise was intense. Music blaring, friends screaming, and in the middle of it all was Emma-Leigh. 'its good to be home ' she thought to her self as she was hugged all around. Every one from her Friday night crew was there, Kian, Zaman, Bashu, Michelle jr., Ellora, Bradley Alexander, Brad, Kyle, Paul, Sage, Kyla, Danielle, Dana, Cody, Sam, Katelyn, Sarah, Nicola, Sam, Trevor and even Sasha made an appearance. Along with many people, to many to name, Emma-Leigh sank right back into her role of 'SOS Queen'.
"God I love this place." Nothing had changed at the SOS in the half year she'd been away, same green couches, same crappy stereo, same faces. Every one was happy.
"It's good to have our twinky queen/ goddess back" Katelyn said. Katelyn was this little 11 year old that pretty much worshipped Emma-Leigh, and Emma-Leigh loved her like a little sister. Harry smiled, It was nice seeing Emma-Leigh so perfectly at ease, so wonderfully happy. Some how in the course of the night someone had made a lot of popcorn, now, that is a really bad idea when Emma-Leigh and Michelle and Paul are around, they started a mega huge popcorn fight. It got so intense that it was upstairs and downstairs at one point, popcorn flew through the air at great speeds.
"I promise we'll clean it later." Michelle and Emma-Leigh pleaded to Susan who was the head of the SOS as she looked pissed as hell when she walked in on the scene.
"You better have this place sparkling." With that she walked away, muttering something about needing to get away from the crazies. With a mad laugh Michelle grabbed another handful of popcorn, shoved it down Emma-Leigh's shirt, therefore starting the war all over again. Huffing and puffing an hour later they all collapsed onto the couches.
"Damnit!" Emma-Leigh said as she started pulling little bits of popcorn out of her usually impeccable hair. They laughed as she struggled.
"You missed a bit." Mandy said thoroughly enjoying the torment and torture her dear older sister was going through.
XxX
It was time for everyone to go home, everyone hugging everyone at the door, then coming back for a second round, finally everyone left. Only people remaining were Michelle, Mandy, the Hogwarts crew, Emma-Leigh and her Mother. They looked around the room, still full of popcorn.
"I knew if we waited long enough they would all be gone." Michelle, being seventeen took out her wand and muttered the cleaning spell and the room went from full of popcorn to sparkling in seconds.
"Oh you will definitely be using that spell around the house" Emma-Leigh and Mandy's mum said with a smile. Emma-Leigh hugged her mum good bye, with promises of letter writings and I'll be okays and I'll miss you tons. The group left tired but happy. Emma-Leigh and Harry hand in hand walked into the Faulty Wand and back to BSS.
"What an awesomely fantastic day." Emma-Leigh said as she closed her eyes that night, thinking about what the day ahead had planned for her.
