Chapter 2: There goes summer+
"This doesn't feel like graduation." Ron groaned the next day as the four sat down to breakfast."
"It shouldn't. We aren't the ones graduating." Tori said, not even looking up at him. Harry groaned,
"I don't know how you convinced us to stay for the summer program. Don't you understand that it's enough torture sometimes just being here in the fall?" Ron nodded,
"While everyone else gets to go home and relax and enjoy their summer break, we're stuck here, in what? Summer school!" Nevertheless, the girls were not paying any attention. They were too busy staring deep into their textbooks for their summer classes.
"Don't complain." Tori said once again, not bothering to look up, "We aren't the only ones staying for the summer, and you can't say it's all mine and Hermione's' fault. Your parents agreed. Moreover, Ginny is staying too. So are Lavender, Luna, Seamus, Palma and Pavarotti and also Neville…. where is that cousin of mine anyways?" Her friends just laughed at her,
"Only you two know how to lose each other." They said.
"Still," Ron said, "Ginny's only doing this because Neville is. She's just being stupid." He said, right as she walked by,
"Shut up Ron!" she snapped whacking her brother on the side of the head.
"It's gonna be a long summer." Hermione whispered in Tori's ear. The girls giggled. Suddenly,
"Incoming!" someone shouted. The four friends looked up as a clumsy little snowy owl flopped down, landing on the Gryffindor table and spilling all the cereal and toast along the way as it bumped into them,
"Higgins!" Tori cried. As the little owl looked up at its name it let out a little, "Wheeeeeee!" as it tripped before landing right on Tori's face. Once there the little owl held on and softly purred.
"Only you Higgins." Tori muttered underneath her feathered friend, laughing, "What a mess." Harry looked down the length of the table…what a mess indeed. He just laughed,
"Higgins always makes Pig look good when it comes to landing." Ron nodded.
"So? What's the word Higgins?" Hermione asked the little owl. Higgins hopped down, sat between them, and just blinked. They groaned,
"Higgins. Did you lose my mail again?" Tori asked. Higgins nodded, not really understanding. "It can't be too important." She said as Higgins walked around the table picking up bits of different foods and putting it into Ron's cereal bowl, "Mom knows Higgins sucks at delivering mail. It's just, she sends such nice cards."
"Hey guys!" Neville called out as he walked over to them.
"Hi Nev!" Neville stared dreamily down the table over at Ginny until Harry cleared his throat "Sorry." Neville said blushing a bit, "First classes start in 20, I was wondering what you four have." The guys shrugged as the girls mouthed POTIONS, Neville nodded, "Great, I'll see you guys in a little bit." As Neville walked off Harry was about to ask just what their first class was anyways, until Ron started squawking about,
"Higgins!" he cried, "What have you done to my breakfast?" The four friends looked at his plate and laughed. The little owl had piled his bowl high of sausage bites, toast crumbs, Wizard Charms, various fruit chunks, and of course, pumpkin juice. He ruffled proudly as Tori pet him on his little head,
"You are such a little goober." She said. Ron grumbled a bit before just giving in and taking a bite of Higgins masterpiece.
"Eww! Ron that's gross!" The three said, looking at him disgustedly,
"Is not." He replied as he picked up Higgins and placed him on his shoulder, "This little guy made quite a delicious meal. It only looks weird because it's all piled together. Good job Higgins, I like it." Higgins lightly pecked his ear as the others shook their heads.
Over at the other tables one student watching them paled as she watched Ron snarf down his weird mass of food, "Oh no, did it really work?" she whispered nervously to herself.
While over at another table a pair of eyes watched Ron and smirked, "Looks like you're in for a big surprise Weasel."
"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. I would suggest you quit your doddling if you expect to make it to my class on time." Potions Professor Severus Snape said thickly as he walked past the four friends down to the dungeons; his black robes billowing behind him. Ron and Harry stared after him with quizzical looks,
"What's he going on about?" Ron asked. Hermione and Tori glanced at each other and began walking away quickly. Ron and Harry noticed right away,
"WHAT!" they shrieked, "WE HAVE POTIONS!"
"Run." Tori whispered.
"You know," Hermione said as they ran from the guys, "This will be the first time those two ever made it to class on time."
