Bonjour! Look how quickly I have managed to get this chapter out, at least
compared to how long it took me last time. Anyway, I don't really have much
else to say right now, except... If you are what you eat, then I am fast,
cheap, and easy! Hahahahaha (wipes away tears) Sorry, that was lame, but I
heard it on the radio the other night, and I nearly died laughing.
Oh, and one other thing! Look! I'm still here! The letter from Smith's Institution for the Terminally Insane hasn't arrived yet! (And neither has the metal car!) But I'm pretty sure it just got lost in the mail, and it'll be coming any day now... yep, any day... here it comes... oh, what the hell, stop waiting with me, and just go read!
Disclaimer: I now officially own Harry Potter™. ( Look! It even has my little trademark symbol so no one can steal it! Muahahahahaha!!!
Just kidding. I still don't own it.
Chapter 6: The Guys
After the feast, the five of us finally made it to the Common Room, after much pleading with the Fat Lady to let us in without the password (we had forgotten to find out what it was) and many of my threats to kick the door in, when a 4th year heard my furious yells and opened the painting from the inside. As we were passing through the room, intent on getting to the dormitory we continued to chat about my new hairstyle and clothing, etc., etc. Suddenly, just as we reached the bottom step, I felt four pairs of arms wrap around me, and pull me back into a giant hug. I was getting the air squeezed out of me, when I finally realized who had me locked in such a tight embrace.
"Guys!" I cried, "I'm happy to see you too, but do you think you could put me down? I'm losing circulation to my head!" The four guys had apparently forgotten their own strength (again) and had picked me up off the floor in their enthusiasm.
"Nope." Said Adrian, "Not till you greet each one of us properly."
"Fine!" I sighed, jokingly, "Adrian, it is simply smashing to see you again. You're looking wonderful." As I finished saying this, Adrian released me and stepped back. However, the other three still had me in their clutches, "You guys aren't going to make this easy, are you?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. They shook their heads, and I sighed again. "Alright. Colin, lovely to see you again. Are those new highlights I see?"
"Yup." Said Colin Creevey as he stepped away and grinned.
By now, there were only two more guys holding me up. Turning to one I said, "Leo! Spiffing to see you, dahling. Really jolly!" As he stepped back, smiling, I grinned back at him and stayed silent. The last guy holding me was having a bit of trouble, the way we were positioned. I suppose in order to make himself more comfortable, he suddenly swept an arm under my knees and another behind my back, and dropped me down to chest level. I shrieked as he did this, and threw my arms around his neck. I was now lying in his arms, looking up at him. He was looking down at me, expectantly; most likely waiting for me to greet him the same way I had the others. However, I simply lay there and looked at him. We had a staring contest, before he finally broke down and asked, "Don't I get a hello then?"
"No," I answered, "I would like to hear a hello of my own."
"And I suppose you want me to give it to you?" he asked.
"But of course," I answered.
"Right, then," he grinned at me, evilly, "Ginny, my lovely, my life, my love!" he cried out, dramatically. "I cannot find the words to express my happiness at your return! My pearl, I have pined for you, and now that I have you in my arms once again, I feel despair at having to release you! But release you I shall, for I am not worthy of the attentions of one such as yourself. Fare thee well, my dearest, for I know not when we shall meet again. This unworthy one asks for only a last moment to gaze upon your exquisiteness before casting myself off the North Tower. For I cannot look upon you, without making you my own. Farewell, my precious, remember me always!" And with that, he abruptly dropped me, and swept a bow towards the rest of the Common Room, who began applauding him. I noticed the applauders happened to include Ron, Harry, Hermione, my girl friends, and the three other guys.
Once the applause died down, I held out my hand and said, "Josh, you wanker, help me up!"
"Is that really the proper way to speak to your knight in shining armor?" he asked
"If he feels the need to drop me on the ground, it most certainly is." I answered, as he pulled me to my feet. "Besides, I have a question for you."
"Yes, my dove?"
"Where's your shiny armor?"
"In my trunk, of course. I haven't finished unpacking yet."
"Ah, of course. I suppose I'll have to thank my rescuer somehow."
"Well, yes, that is generally how these things go."
"Ok, good, let me know when you see him."
"Touché."
"Glad you recognize my superior wit."
"Well, I would if it was."
"What?"
"What what?"
"What did you just say?"
"I actually have no idea."
"That's what I thought."
"Hello guys!!!" Yelled Roxi, stepping between us, "Please speak English, and not JoshandGinnyish for a moment, the rest of us lower life forms would like to understand."
"Oh, sorry," I said, looking at everyone else, "Were we doing it again?"
"Yes," answered Leo, "but that's alright, we understand."
"Understand what?" asked Josh.
"That the two of you have some serious issues that will probably need years of therapy to be fully understood." Said Colin. Glaring at him, I picked up a book from a nearby table and chucked it at him.
As he frantically ducked, some second year called out, "Hey that's mine!" But when I turned to glare at him too, he cowered and said, in a terrified voice, "Oh, that's okay, you can throw it if you want to. I don't mind." And quickly scampered away.
As Josh, Leo, Adrian, and Colin began to crack up, Roxi and Calli each took me by the arm and began to lead me away. "Come on Ginny," said Roxi, "I think it's time to go night-night. Say goodbye to the silly boys."
"Goodbye to the silly boys." I said cheerfully, waving as I was escorted from the room.
"Sorry," said Lara, to the Common Room in general, "She hasn't taken her medication yet, but don't worry, she's harmless."
"I heard that!" I shouted from the top of the stairs. "I'm going to get you Lara!"
"Ahhh. I'm scared now." Said Lara in a monotone.
"Shut up," I told her.
Oh, and one other thing! Look! I'm still here! The letter from Smith's Institution for the Terminally Insane hasn't arrived yet! (And neither has the metal car!) But I'm pretty sure it just got lost in the mail, and it'll be coming any day now... yep, any day... here it comes... oh, what the hell, stop waiting with me, and just go read!
