Chapter seventeen: Just Like Old Times

"More ice, Rose!" Dracola rang his bell once more.

"Bite me."

"Lighten up sweetness," Dracola slapped her on the ass as she was forced to go get Dracola's ice by Dumbledores obeying charm, "Roberts, peel me another grape..."

Cheesy and Banana grasped Andrew's shoulders tightly,

"You're not going anywhere," they both said.

"But he's using them! The bastard needs a good-"

Banana whipped out her wand and muttered a spell, Andrew dropped to the ground, his muscles in his legs turned to jelly.

"Banana! What did you do to me!"

Banana shook her head, as did Cheesy,

"If you try and attack Malfoy when he's got Lemo and Andy under his control he could so easily make Lemo and Andy fight you!"

"That's just shit! If Barry was here-"

"He'd be on the ground unable to move his legs as well..." Cheesy said in a satisfied voice. Banana turned and looked at Cheesy,

"I wouldn't hit Barry Saucepan with such a simple spell! He needs a more complex charm!"

Cheesy rolled her eyes,

"Banana, Barry's our friend. Meaning that we can hex him - with anything!"

"I disagree-"

"You always disagree with what I say!"
"I do not! I agreed with you at breakfast that cheesy bananas would be better than pickled lemons!"

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

"IT'S THE SAME SUBJECT!"

Andrew dragged his legs along the ground using only his arms. He knew he wouldn't be able to do much to Malfoy, but he could at least tie his shoe laces together...

Barry lay in the hospital wing, he knew he was supposed to be sleeping but he didn't feel tired. He was no longer upset about his broom. He didn't feel pissed at the dementors for coming to the match. Infact he felt nothing. His life felt like one big black hole, he couldn't control anything that happened to him. Even his girlfriend wasn't able to come see him; she was forced to be a slave to his enemy for a week. His best friend had spent most of his time trying to kill his enemy. Unfortunately for Andrew, Cheesy and Banana were preventing him from doing something stupid. His other best friend was busy with his girlfriend, as far as he knew it was all innocent...But hell Don was fifteen...Barry rolled over. Emo and Jason were together now, well for all he knew that could be over by now. Mione seemed to be extremely preoccupied; she was the one who visited him the most. With homework, ("It'd dreadful for you to fall behind!") resulting in Barry pretending to be asleep every time she came in. Nick came in occasionally, usually asking him if he could borrow a book. You'd have thought Barry had been in the hospital for ages, it felt like that for Barry as well. But this hell had only gone on for two days. Barry groaned and rolled over once more. He felt lonely. He missed Lemo.

Lemo dragged her feet into the common room and looked hopefully at the comfy chair near the fire. No Barry wasn't back. Her feet suddenly felt heavier as she dragged them to the empty chair. Andy staggered down from the boys dorm, her hair everywhere. Lemo raised a questioning elbow,

"Were you up there with Drew?"

Andy nodded and fell into the chair next to Lemo. Before Lemo could suspect the dodgiest Andy added,

"Looking for Don missing rat."

"Any luck?"

Andy sighed,

"No where to be seen. Don thinks it's Miones cat, Seamus said he's seen a huge assed balck dog roaming campus. So it could be either."

"Don must be gutted," Lemo said, whipping out her wand and conjuring up a cup of steaming pumpkin juice, "Want one?"

"Nah thanks."

Andy yawned,

"How did massaging Dracola's feet go?"

Lemo shivered,

"Horribly, thank god tonight was the last night." She shivered, "How did you get out of it?"

"He doesn't like me, plus Drew's twice his hieght and Barry's in the hospital wing, so he's not really a threat."

Lemo frowned,

"Barry's been in there long enough..."

"What are you suggesting...?"

"It's going to be like old times..."

"That would be?"

"Go on a mission and break some rules!"

"You know, I don't think this cloak was designed for five people, Lemo." Andrew whispered.

"Shut up Drew, it's worked with the same number of people before!"

"Yea, in first year!"

"Andy! Who's side are you on!"

"Hehe, we're officaially part of the group!" Cheesy giggled.

"What are you talking about? We were part of the group ages ago!"

"Shut up Banana..."

"Shh! All of you!" Lemo hissed, she let her hand become visible as she reached for the hospital wing door handle, "Ready guys?"

There came a whispered chorus of yes and an exciteded giggle from Andy.

The door creaked quietly as it opened. Inside Barry was snoring softly.

"There's the target!" Lemo pulled everyone forward, there was a loud snore from the room next door, "And that was the enemy, be aware she is armed and evil...Now out!" Lemo threw the cloak off and rushed to Barry, leaving the others standing there. None of them sure of what they were supposed to be doing. "Barry! Barry!" Lemo prodded Barry who groaned and rolled over. "Barry..."

Barry slowly opened his eyes,

"Lemo?"

"Barry! We've come to get you out of here!"

"You have!" Barry was now fully awake, he jumped out bed, "Wait a second..." He held up his wrist that had the magical alarm system, stopping from him escaping, "I won't be able to leave with this on my wrist!"

Cheesy stepped forward,

"I can help with that!" She pulled out her wand, Barry stepped back looking worried, "It's alright! I know what I'm doing!" She grabbed his wrist, began muttering and tapping the wrist band with her wand. After several sparks, Cheesy threw aside her wand and bit into the wrist band. The band came loose and was chuck aside before Lemo whispered,

"Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!"
