MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Chapter nine: Quidditch Surprises and Disaster Strikes. Hard.
"Attention students!" Dumbledore rose from his seat and waved his wand, setting off sparks grasping everyone in the halls attention, "I have an announcement, due to circumstances we will now be playing host to the dementors, here at Hogwarts. As you know they have thought of reasons to suspect Sirius Keller has been making his way to Hogwarts. This is why they boarded the Hogwarts express at the beginning of the term. Now they and the ministry have decided to have them here on a temporary basis."
The hall broke out into annoyed, frightened and worried voices. Over the noise of it all Don asked loudly when they were going to eat, while even louder, Cheesy and Banana argued which was better: cheese or bananas. Dumbledore waved his wand once more,
"But on a lighter note, because of last year's circumstances, we are going to announce Quidditch season early! In fact the first match for second years is scheduled for Saturday! We will be announcing the first year teams later in the term..." Dumbledore smiled, enjoying the panicked whispers of the third years. All except the Gryffindor team, because they had been practising nearly every afternoon.
"You knew something didn't you!" Lemo accused Barry.
Barry's mouth remained open,
"I swear I didn't! I was just being obsessive about being captain!"
"So you admit it now-" Andy said while Banana cut her off,
"BANANA!"
"Their so ghastly..."
"They suck out all the hope I ever felt..."
"They suck the life out of me!"
"They smell bad!"
Barry, Lemo, Don, Andy, Andrew, Banana and Cheesy sat on the lakes edge listening to other students complaining about the dementors. (Not Snape, like some of you may have been thinking...) Mione and Emo were absent from the group because they were sitting in the library, but the group had reason to suspect Emo went there for the student librarian, not the books...
"So...Barry when is our next Quid-" Lemo began as she rest her head on his chest. A shadow appeared fell upon the group,
"Saucepan."
"Malfoy."
"I heard your captain of the Gryffindor third year quidditch team."
"What's it to you?"
"Well..." Malfoy smirked and folded his arms; his large sidekicks appeared at his side and grunted obediently, "I'm captain of the Slytherin team."
"So? Is that supposed to be a threat Malfoy? I'd call it an advantage for us. We've already been training already, but we shouldn't have bothered if your captain for Slytherin..."
Malfoy glared at him,
"Don't you worry Saucepan, I'll make you life living hell and-"
"Wait in line Malfoy!" McGonagall said pushing him aside, "Saucepan I have a few messages for you: there's no room in the third year bewitching class, you'll be starting Divination next week...Also under certain circumstances you will have to be accompanied by a member of the staff for future Quidditch matches and Madam Pomfrey offered to-"
"Madam Pomfrey!" Barry exclaimed jumping up and knocking Lemo into the lake, "NO! No way! No way in hell!"
"Saucepan! If it wasn't for Madam Pomfrey offering her services, you wouldn't be able to play at all! Be grateful, infact you should be thanking her!"
Barry groaned and rolled his eyes, still unaware Lemo was being dragged in by the Giant Squid, slowly drowning.
"Don't roll your eyes at me young man! Don't forget about Divination..." McGonagall turned on her heel, "And Malfoy, I see you sniggering over there...Fifteen points from Slytherin and if you annoy Saucepan, you'll serving detention with me!"
"But-"
"Move away Dracola Malfoy!"
Dracola rolled his eyes.
"Ten points from Slytherin for inappropriate use of eyes!" She walked off laughing softly, only Barry noticed.
"SHIT! She's drowning!"
Andy and Cheesy dived in as Banana looked around,
"Who's drowning?"
Barry spun around,
"Oh my god! The squid's going to friggen eat her!"
Lemo disappeared into the watery depths as Barry dived in as well, joining Andy and Cheesy's frantic swimming and searching under the water. Finally they swam out of the water, Andy was chocking back tears she pulled seaweed from her hair, instinctively Andrew got up and grabbed her into a hug as she sobbed into his shoulder. Barry fought back tears and looked at the others,
"L-Lemo, she's gone."
