Wow. That… was a complete shocker. I never would have guessed. Am I really that blind?
Yes, deary, you are.
Seriously, I need to think. Go away alien lady.
Why? What happened? Where are your normal, witty and confusing comebacks?
I-I think one of my best friends just asked me out on a … a date….
It wasn't one of those twins, was it deary?
N-no. It was… Lee.
Oh, well he's a nice boy. I give you my approval.
You know if you weren't in my head, I'd punch you.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Eh, go figure.
I'm going to let you be so you can reflect. Make the right choice, deary
Oh, thanks for the advice! Man I hope you heard me think that sarcasm.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.
What am I going to do?
Should I accept? Does this mean he was serious all of those times we joked around?
So many questions to ponder… but better yet… what to say?
Ten minutes laterHow could I turn down Lee? He's my best friend! Oh wait… that's how. What if this messes up everything? Should I risk that? Oh what do you know you stupid notebook?
Is this what fifteen is going to be like? If so, can I get a refund and go back to fourteen? Or better yet… how about eleven. Back to when boys still had cooties. Ah the good old days.
Five minutes laterHow does this sound?
Dear Lee,
Of course I'll go to Hogsmade with you. Some time without the twins will be awesome. Thanks for the invitation! Oh, and that necklace you got me is gorgeous!
Love,
Katie
How's that? Is it too plain? I think I'll send it like that. Wait… should I say yes? I mean… he did dye my hair red….
Eh, I'll give it a shot.
Sleeping. Yes, this is possible. (I'm dreaming)
"Have you made your choice, Katie?" the giant taco that I'm dreaming about asked.
"Which one?" I asked, rather nervously. Who knew tacos intimidated me…
"Have you chosen between the regular or large meal?" the taco, which was apparently wearing a crown, asked.
"Well, what do I get with the regular?" I asked it. Hey, a girl needs to know these things.
"With the regular, you get what you've had for years and there's no risk of anything different going on," the taco explained. "But with the large, you get a whole new option of what to take and it could be better for you but there are still risks."
"I-I'm not sure which one I want," I said uncertainly. I feel insecure. That can't be good.
"Well, you have to choose Katie, because you're life is going to be a mess if you don't," the taco, hereby known as Taco, threatened.
"But, but sir," I sad to Taco, "I can't choose in this short amount of time."
"Well, you have to BEEP," Taco said.
"BEEP BEEP. Did you just beep at me sir?" I asked.
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
(A/n: The dream was reflecting her decision… just in case I needed to clear that up… Oh… and I taco recently.., so that explains the taco.)
Leaves dream state
What the heck is it?
Oh, it's just my alarm. Stupid alarm.
"Katie, come on. Get up," Leanne said to me.
"Hmbanoogam," was all I said. So what if I like dream state better then live state.
"Oye, Bell, get your bloody arse out of bed!" Leanne yelled. I shot up like a ball coming out of a cannon. So what if I still suck at comparing things.
"Leanne? What have they done to you?" I asked, checking her temperature.
"You needed to get up," Leanne said simply. I looked around our room. Courtney was desperately trying to dye her hair once more. I laughed aloud.
Courtney just glared, knowing that I was laughing at her.
"So, how was your birthday?" Debbie asked. Was she not in the Great Hall?
"It was… interesting," I replied.
"Get anything special?" Leanne asked. Whoa, did they know about the necklace and the note?
"Eh, some jewelry and what not…." I replied. How could they know?
I looked over at my bedside table. Oh. That's how. I let the bloody note on the stupid table on top of the awesome necklace…. I guess I kind of left it out in the open.
"You saw the note?" I asked. Okay, so I was a stupid question. Of course they saw the bloody note.
"Yes and we are ecstatic," Leanne said happily, jumping onto my bed. Should they be more happy then me? Eh.
"Are you now?" I asked.
"Yes! It bloody took you guys long enough!" Debbie said. What happened to Debbie? Nice innocent not saying bloody Debbie!
"What do you mean?" I asked, now thoroughly confused.
"Debbie, I think our dear friend Katie here is blind," Leanne confessed with a sigh.
"I think you're right, Leanne," Debbie said. Wait one minute! I am not bloody blind. They're just confusing me.
"Gah! What are you talking about?" I asked, getting to the point.
"Is she blinder then I thought?" Debbie asked Leanne.
"I think she might be deaf too!" Leanne said. They both laughed. That's just not fair. I'm so lost!
"Lee's like you for ages," Debbie sighed dramatically.
"Oh has he now?" I asked, getting interesting. Hey, I have the right to know what's happening in my life at the moment!
"Wow, Katie, wow," the two said to me. Even Courtney gave me a look that said 'wow'.
Stairway from the Common Room to the Girls dorm"BWAH!" I shouted as Alicia and Angelina grabbed my, putting their hands over my mouth.
"You said yes!" the two gasped. Huh?
"Sdsoohat?" I attempted to ask but seeing as their hands still covered my mouth it was slightly hard.
"What? Oh sorry," Alicia said. The two were giggling like happy little leprechauns.
"Said yes to what?" I asked, looking at them strangely. Well, you'd look at them strangely two if they just jumped you and started giggling like crazy!
"Are you kidding me?" Alicia asked astonished.
"It depends," I said. "What are you talking about?"
I need caffeine. Maybe I should try coffee.
"To Lee!" the two squealed. Oh jeez. This is all that I'm going to be hearing about.
"That I did," I said to the two.
They giggled some more. I hardly ever hear these two giggle.
Breakfast.
I've determined that coffee is the best thing in the WORLD! Especially with lots and lots and lots of sugar and lots and lots and lots of cream. Yes, it is the best thing ever.
I've never liked it before but now I'm just like BAM! COFFEE! NEED CAFFINE!
"Katie Bell," George said, coming up to me, seriously.
"George Weasley," I said, just as seriously.
"I need to … since when do you drink coffee?" George asked as I took a sip of the light brown substance come like to call coffee but I call it sugar and cream with a pinch of coffee.
"Since I took the coffee pot and poured some into my sugar and cream," I said, taking another sip. Yum. "Why?"
"Because last year you vowed to never touch the stuff again," George said with a grin.
"Wasn't that when you gave it to me black?" I asked suspiciously.
"Uh… so anyway, about that question… well thing I had to tell you," George said changing the subject. Oh, he's good. He was very serious too.
"Okay, shoot," I said, looking him in the eye.
"I know something you don't know!" he sang happily.
"Oh do you?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, it seems that Mr. Lee Jordan is not the only one who seems to have been taking a liking to little Katie Bell," George said.
"Oh really?" I asked, trying to get more information out of it. Aha I called George it. I meant him. Eh, oh well.
"Yes and I know whom it would be too," George said in a singsong voice.
"And that would be?" Come on. I'm so close to figuring out these notes. Come on George. COME ON!
"It would be," George started.
"GEORGE WEASLEY!" Fred yelled, walking up behind his twin and smacking him in the back of the head. Hmm, bad timing. How ironic. That's just not right.
I smacked Fred. How is it that they have really bad timing? I'm just going to drink my coffee. Yum. Coffee.
"Katie," Fred whined. "What was that- since when do you drink coffee?"
I rolled my eyes. OW! You know when you roll your eyes too much it hurts… well is that self explanatory?
"Since I put the sugar and the cream in a mug and added coffee?" I said uncertainly. Am I going to be explaining my recent infatuation with coffee all day?
"Gross," Fred said, scrunching up his nose.
"What's gross?" I asked as he sat down looking into my mug. "You'd better not spit in it or I'll kick your butt!"
"How much did you put in there?" he asked looking at my light brown coffee. It wasn't even light brown. It was tan.
"A lot," I said. So is this the morning topic? Katie's Coffee Choice?
"Obviously," Fred said. Okay, so apparently that is this morning topic.
"Hello, all," came Lee's voice. Hey. I think I might be sick. My stomach flipped. Should I go to the Hospital Wing? Maybe it's the coffee. I thought coffee would do all good. Darn you coffee… but it's so good.
Fred and George started laughing out of the blue and I looked up at Lee with another tummy turning smile. I gave the smile… but my tummy turned. Damn you coffee!
Lee pushed past George and sat next to me and my loverly coffee. So I got over that grudge pretty quick.
Hallway in between classesI'm walking with Leanne. We just left Charms. Why are all these people giving me dirty looks? Leanne looked at the people, who were looking at me funny, funny.
"Did that Hufflepuff girl… just stick her tongue out at you?" Leanne asked, looking at me curiously.
"I believe she did," I said, confused as I stuck my tongue out at her. Just call me Miss Maturity.
"And that Ravenclaw over there," Leanne said, indicating to some tall girl over by a suit of armor, "why's she glaring at you? Katie, what did you blow up?"
"LEANNE!" I said, offended. I have not blown up anything … in the past few months… I think. "Nothing! I don't know what I did."
I looked around. Boy, getting dirty looks sure gets annoying.
A little second year came up to me. She looked sad. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Aw… what's wrong?" I asked as she stopped in front of me.
"You'll pay, Bell," was all she said before turning off to her group of friends.
"Excuse me?" I said in a dignified voice. Ha. Me. Dignified. How great is that?
"You heard me," she said. I think this little punk hole is threatening me!
"Are you threatening me?" Hey, you can never be too sure with twelve year olds. One time one at the Gryffindor table asked me to pass the potatoes and it took be a second because I had to go across Lee who was talking and not paying attention to me and then he was like, 'Bloody hell, Bell, I do it myself!' He also said something about my mum that I probably shouldn't repeat. I was amazed. Stupid second years.
"What if I am?" she asked, getting tough. Wow. I feel superior. But it's only a second year.
"Merlin, child, I'm not fighting a twelve year old!" I said, trying to push past her, but she put her foot down.
"I'm thirteen, my birthday was last Wednesday," she said, looking me in the eye. It must have been quite a scene seeing as there was now a group of people standing around us.
"Well isn't that great?" I said sarcastically. I tried going past her again, but she tripped me. The little wanker tripped me! Oh, new vocabulary word!
I fell, because I have no balance and I'm a klutz. After I stood up, I saw Leanne looking amazed that this little thing would do that. Not to mention everyone in the circle… well… kidney bean shaped thing… were laughing at me. This is getting out of hand.
"Listen you little child!" I yelled. Hey, yelling is better then hitting. Or cursing… or hexing. New philosophy. I'm on a roll today! (A/n: lmao. On a roll.) "I'm not going to get pushed around by some second year!"
"It's a little too late for that," she said overpoweringly and wanker-like.
The group around us 'Oooed' as she said that.
"Bloody hell! Are you kidding me? I don't even know you!" I shouted. It was true. She just came over to me and said 'you'll pay.' I don't even know why. Maybe she's on drugs…. Or maybe her wand was stuck to far up her arse….
"Well, you should," she said, sounded stuck-up. "I'm Clarissa Yassmine Jewel Rachael Aarons."
"I bet you are?" I said uncertainly. So maybe I did get lost after Clarissa…. So what?
"You'd better believe it!" she said harshly. "And you stole my future boyfriend."
Wow. I couldn't help but laugh right in the girls face. You would have died too, you know.
I'm laughing right up here with you, deary!
Go alien lady!
Anyway, I laughed at her and she scowled.
"Your future boyfriend, eh?" I asked, still laughing. Everyone around us was silent.
"What's going on here?" came the stern voice of Professor McGonagal.
Oh. Snap.
Clarissa, or whatever her name was, started crying on the spot. I have to admit, she has got skill. But too much skill. It's overdone.
"What… what is going on?" McGonagal said, walking over to the evil little thirteen year old.
"She-she was being m-mean to me," the little wanker sobbed.
"Miss Bell, I would expect this from the Weasley's but not from you," McGonagal said sternly. "Detention, my office, tonight at seven."
"But," I started.
"No buts," she said, turning swiftly on her heal.
The demon child turned back to me and smirked.
"Back off," she said grimly before going back to her group of friends.
I can't believe nobody stuck up for me! That's just insane. I know more then half of the people watching and they just say there in awe. That's just… just wrong!
I walked off all mad now.
"Katie, wait up!" Leanne called.
"Oh, sorry," I said, annoyed. "I can't believe I just got detention because some freak second year was jealous!"
"I know! That was horrible," Leanne said as we walked to our next class. Hey! It's lunch!
"The… little wanker just landed me in detention because she's a drama queen!" I complained as we walked into the Great Hall. Yum food. Maybe there's more coffee.
"Yes, Katie, I know," Leanne said reasonably. She is not my outlet.
Leanne walked over to sit with Debbie and I went over to sit with Lee who automatically knew I was just not happy. It was obvious and if not the words bound to be spread around that a second year landed me in detention.
"Katie looks mad," Lee pointed out to no one in particular seeing as we were the only two there.
"It's your fault you know," I pointed out. Technically it was.
"My fault?" Lee asked.
"Some bloody second year was jealous because of the note thing and threatened me and then blamed me!" I shouted, getting strange looks from some people down the table.
"Wow," Lee said with a smile. "It's because of my dashingly good looks, now isn't it?"
Lets just say after that comment I tossed a banana at him.
DetentionIt's not as bad as I thought. It's just lines. McGonagal's making me write I will not harass younger students over and over again. It's not that bad because of my awesome copying skills. Crap!
Ms. Bell,
I would appreciate it if you didn't write in your diary when you're supposed to be doing detention for me. Next time show more respect.
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagal
My dormShe saw me writing in the notebook and she took it. And she wrote in it! Isn't that some kind of invasion of privacy thing? I think it might be… I'll have to ask Alicia about it. She's the brain.
SaturdayYou know what? This is the day I go to Hogsmade with Lee. AND my brother's present is supposed to get here soon, seeing as I haven't gotten it yet so I'm just assuming it's coming. Whoa, I just looked at my clock. It's like five AM.
So, I'm going to go and catch some more sleep before I have to get up and start getting ready. Or maybe I'll plot against evil second years. Hmm that sounds better then getting ready.
I could tie their shoelaces together- Classic but it works
I could put gum in their hair- still classic but full of damage. Bwahaha.
I could get my little leprechaun buddies to throw gold at her so she thinks she's rich but she's really not- that'd be interesting. The whole school would be in a gold frenzy.
I'd better get to sleep. I think I'm going crazy. Stupid second years. They're out to get me.
A/n: Hey all! How'd you like the chapter? Did you like the length? AW MAN! I was going to say something but I forgot. (Next day: I remembered! Sorry it took so long to update… this was… one of the harder chapters to write but have no fear! Hogsmade next chapter!) Don't forget to review! Maybe I'll remember for the next chapter.
Oh! And ideas are still welcome!
