Pirate Blood

Chapter 40

Train Ride

Everyone said their goodbyes at Grimmaud Place. Kingsley volunteered to drive everyone to the train station. Kaylee and Jesse morphed before they left. They were driving in a black SUV that was borrowed from the Ministry. Ron sat up front with Kingsley, while everyone else sat in the back. After they all got in the car, Harry said, "It seems like so much has changed over the past two weeks."

"I know it's weird." Chris said.

"So how is this going to work at school?" Harry asked.

"Maybe we can hang out in public." Hermione suggested.

"Well everyone would flip out." Draco said.

"I'm pretty sure everyone at school has seen us flirt, so it won't be a shock." Kaylee said.

"Some are expecting it, some aren't. Who cares what they think?" Hermione said.

"We're a bloody after school special." Jesse said, still using his British accent.

"He's right, you know." Draco said.

Chris rolled her eyes. "We're here. Thanks Kingsley."

"Anytime." he replied. Everyone else thanked Kingsley and went inside.

After they got onto platform 9 3/4, Chris spotted Blaise. "Blaise!" she yelled and waved. He waved back. Chris ran over to him and gave him a hug. They both could feel other people's eyes on them. "I'm sorry we could only leave a note. We couldn't find you to say goodbye."

"Yeah, I know, but did you have to be so cryptic? 'Special business?' What the bloody hell is that?" he asked.

"We'll explain later." Blaise saw Jesse, Draco, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny come up behind her.

"Well Draco is standing next to a Potter and a Weasley, and he doesn't look as if he's about to kill himself. I really missed a lot, didn't I?"

"Where Pansy?" Draco said after rolling his eyes.

"I'll explain later." Blaise said.

"Well, let's get an apartment. This will be an interesting ride." Hermione suggested.

After they settled into their compartment, they told their story. "How very after school special of you." Blaise remarked.

"See, we are going to get that whenever we tell this story." Jesse told them.

Hermione hit his stomach playfully. "Oh well. Get over it."

"So what happened to Pansy?" Draco asked.

"Well her parents thought she–wait, that isn't the beginning. In Witch Weekly, there was an article about the charity ball that we went to. There was a picture of Chris and Draco. Pansy's dad looked into Chris Turners history. He couldn't find much. He assumed it was because America has a tight security system. He found out that you're a half blood. He asked Pansy if she knew you and was friends with you. She said yes, not realizing that he knew anything about you. Her father threw a fit. He was pissed that she hangs out with very few pure-bloods. So he sent her to Celestis School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Blaise finished.

"Where's Celestis?" Jesse asked.

"Denmark." Kaylee answered, "They're known for having few half-bloods and muggle-borns. I went there when I was fourteen. She'll hate it there."

"What's it like?" Ginny asked.

"They segregate boys and girls. The boys are on the left side of the class, girls on the right. Blue uniform. Very strict. I only lasted five weeks."

"Then your parents let you come home?" Harry asked.

"No. Then I made like, ten offences in one day, and they kicked me out."

"What did you do?" Ginny asked.

"I broke the dress code. Though I should not have had that counted against me. They said I had to wear a blue top. A bra is considered a top."

"No it isn't." Hermione said.

"Well it should be." Kaylee smirked, "I had my school blazer over it anyways. I also wore my skirt to short. I didn't wear knee socks. I put purple highlights in my hair. I also wore a high ponytail. I didn't even realize that I was breaking half of those rules. Then I made out with a boy in class. Then–"

"Wait, you what?" Draco said.

"We were broken up at the time. Back to the story, then I wrote Professor Stevens Is An Asshole across the wall of his classroom. I talked back to a teacher for something or other. I turned my transfiguritation partner into a donkey. Then I summoned an octopus and put it on my headmistresses head."

"Why would you do that?" Ginny asked.

"I thought it might get my parents to pay attention to me. It didn't. They just sent me to another boarding school. Oh, and I punched a guy in the face." Kaylee said.

"Why did you punch a guy?" Blaise said, completely unfazed by the first part of what she said. He knew it already.

"He called me a bitch. I think it was because I didn't want to date him. Anyway, was Pansy okay when she left?"

"Of course not. She was so upset, but she will be fine."
