Well, hello again! I got some good reports back from the last chapter of this story, so I decided I was going to go all out on this chapter. 3000+ words, and lot's of silliness! Did I ever spell silliness right? Oh well, Helle will fix it if I didn't! I'm pretty sure you all don't want to hear about my life, but I have to say, that I just got a cell phone! I'm so excited! Now, only if I could get it to actually work…Well, on with the story then, right?
Disclaimer: I do not, under any single circumstances, own anything in Harry Potter. Or pretty much anything you recognize. (Songs, movies, Pepsi, stores ext.) What I do own though, is the plot to this story, the Pepsi I'm drinking, and the cookies I am about to nom on.
"The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend".-Sicilian proverb.
I heard someone cough lightly behind us and we both slowly turned around to see a rather tall man with a long white beard, and shockingly longer white hair. He was wearing purple robes and he smelled kind of like mothballs, but in a good way. His blue eyes seemed to shine as he gazed down at us, and I found myself feeling kind of nauseous as I realized who this purple robed man looked like.
"Well, hello ladies." The man said politely. I stood there stuttering like a fool as Helle immediately stepped up to the plate.
"Hi! I'm Helena, and this is Jessica. Are you Dumbledore? I can't believe this is happening!" she rushed, looking like she was going to hemorrhage.
"Helle! Hush." I said firmly, giving her an annoyed look. She pouted, but stopped nonetheless.
"I see Sera was right then. You two did come." The man said, eyeing us both. I gulped.
"What are you talking about?" Helle said courageously. The old mans eyes started to twinkle as he smiled down at us.
"My good friend, Sera, was a Seer. She told me that one day, two girls will appear by magic in my office, and I was to listen to what they say and believe every word of it. And that is exactly what I am going to do," he said, motioning for us to sit in the two chairs in front of an obnoxiously large desk as he went to sit behind it. I hesitated before sitting down. Anyway, he was an old man. I could take him down in a second if need be. "Now, tell me everything you can." I bit my lip and glanced at Helle, who was too in awe of the random moving pictures on the wall to pay attention. I blinked at the pictures before sighing.
"I'm going to guess logically and say your Dumbledore, which means that we are now inside the Harry Potter books," Helle said simply. His stared at us in confusion.
"Harry Potter? Books? Whatever are you talking about?" he questioned, sounding really confused.
"In our world, where we come from, none of this is real. Just simple words written down on a page from someone's imagination." Helle added, getting back on track. He studied us for a minute before asking us to tell us everything. And we did (1).
For five minutes, we all just sat there and stared at each other, wondering who was going to start talking first when all of a sudden the door flew open and six people came in. One was a tall witch with dark brown hair and glasses on her nose. She had a fierce look in her eye, and I could tell she was smart. I'm guessing she was a teacher. Next, was a girl that wouldn't be any older then mine or Helle's age, me being fifteen and Helle sixteen. She had bright red hair, that kind of reminded me of the red you see during a sunset, and bright green eyes. I mean extremely bright. Maybe forest green? I don't know, but it's obvious that she's really smart.
And last were four boys. One was obviously the leader of their little group. I don't know how I could tell, but I guess it was because off all the 'leaders' in mine and Helle's school. He just had that strange air of demand around him, as if he owned the place. With his messy hair, dark brown eyes, and his obvious build, I could see why. This boy was a looker!
Next, well, I guess he kind of looked like the 'second in command', if you will. He had longish black hair that curled slightly and covered some of his eyes, and he had strange grey-blue eyes. I'd never seen anything like them before. Also, he seemed to have a big build. It looked good on him though. He too, was a big looker.
The next one was a bit less built then the rest, but built nonetheless. He had sandy brown hair that was a little shaggy, maybe at a medium cut? I could also tell that he had light brown eyes, the kind they normally have in romance novels. Something about him just came off as the quiet type… and lastly, there was a rather short one. I'm not going to say he was fat, because I've seen fat, and fat he is not, but he is sort of pudgy. Not really though. He had blonde hair that was combed neatly and bright blue eyes that watered a little…probably allergies.
Everyone seemed to stop when they saw us and I just kicked Helle, warning her not to start 'squeeing' as she likes to call it.
"I'm sorry Albus! I didn't know you had company!" the lady said, stuttering slightly. Dumbledore smiled.
"It's quite all right Minerva, I was just informing these ladies about the School rules, seeing as they will be transferring here," he said kindly.
"We are?" Helle asked. I kicked her again. "I mean, we are!"
Sighing I turned around and stared at Dumbledore, who chuckled.
"So, what happened this time?" Dumbledore questioned without missing a beat. 'Minerva' immediately puffed up like a balloon and pointed at the boys.
"They transfigured all of the Slytherin students' robes to pink and orange! Then, when Miss Evans here tried to stop them, they went and turned the Slytherin students' hair purple!" She snarled.
"Hey! What's wrong with the color purple?!" I asked, looking down at my purple shirt. It got silent. "What? Purple is like, the best freaking color ever!"
"Here she goes… again," Helle said rolling her eyes. I pouted and turned to her.
"What? You can be passionate about a fictional character, but I can't be passionate about my favorite color?! How wrong is that?!" I burst, making Dumbledore chuckle. 'Minerva' was staring at us with a slightly amused expression on her face, and I mean slightly.
"No one said it, but come on. Blue is the new purple," Helle said. I looked at her in disbelief.
"No. No way." I turned around and looked at the redhead. "What do you think? Purple or blue?"
She looked startled for a minute before answering hesitantly. "Purple?"
"See? The pretty redhead likes purple. Done deal. Now shut up and let the important people finish their bashing on the four trouble-makers," I insisted while sitting back in my seat. Everyone was quiet for a minute.
"And who are these children, Albus?" 'Minerva' asked, staring at us. I frowned, knowing what was coming.
"I'll have you know, I am sixteen years old, and am definitely not a child-" Helle began before I kicked her…again. "Will you stop kicking me woman?!"
I looked at her innocently and scoffed. "I don't know what you're talking about " I insisted innocently.
She snorted. "Liar."
I gasped. "Am not! I always tell the truth, and nothing but the truth." I pouted.
"Well, then I guess you're backwards, because all you say are lies. Not even in court, bitch," Helle triumphed.
I sat back in my chair and scoffed, like the sad little girl I usually was. Suddenly there was a really big awkward silence. I looked around and saw everyone staring at me.
"What?" I asked, looking at Helle. "What'd I do?"
Sighing, Helle just shook her head. "Nothing, as per usual," she grumbled, closing her eyes and rubbing her temple.
"Anyway, like Minerva said, who are they?" the guy with the strange eyes and curly black hair asked, acting like he was the king of the world. 'Minerva' started to stutter, her face going bright red.
"Sirius Black!" she roared. I let out a small squeak and ducked behind my chair, staring out from the back. I glanced over and noticed Helle snickering and watching in amusement. She's going to get into trouble, and I will laugh.
"Aw, come on Minerva! It was just a question!" the culprit whined, earning snickers from the other guys. 'Minerva' seemed about ready to explode. Dumbledore coughed slightly and everyone turned to him.
"I think I would like to answer that, if you can refrain yourself for the time being, Minerva?" Dumbledore questioned. She sighed but nodded. "A friend of mine from America has been raising these two for awhile now, and they have shown magical abilities, yet haven't been to a School for witches and wizards yet. I decided to take them in here and teach them." I blinked. Helle blinked.
"So they're going to be first years?" 'Minerva' asked.
"No, they will be 5th years, just like these students," he gestured to the other teens in the room, "they will just need a bit more practice and tutoring." He finished. I blanched. Helle tried not to laugh at the look on my face. 'Minerva nodded before turning to us.
"Hello, then. My name is Professor McGonagall, and I will be teaching you Transfiguration," she stated proudly. I smiled and nodded as Helle smirked. Suddenly, the guy with glasses stepped forward.
"I'm James Potter," he said smirking and running a hand through his unnaturally messy hair. He motioned towards the guys with the strange eyes. "That's Sirius Black-"
"No, I'm the Sirius Black, thanks," the guy, whose name apparently was Sirius, stated seriously. James rolled his eyes.
"That's Remus Lupin," he nodded towards the guy with sandy brown hair. "And lastly, Peter Pettigrew," he concluded, glancing at the smallest boy. I beamed at him and he looked shocked for a moment, before finally giving me a shaky smile back. They all stared at Helle and I for a moment, before Helle finally caught the drift.
"Oh! I'm Helena Simmons," she grinned happily, although a bit sadistically, at them. Then she motioned towards me. "That loser is Jessica O'Reily, but you don't have to pay attention to her," she laughed, giving me a sideways glance. I snorted and turned away, pouting in annoyance. I just noticed that it seems sometime during this conversation, the nice redheaded girl had left.
"Hey! Where'd the nice purple -loving redhead go?" I questioned, glancing around the room.
"Her name's Lily Evans" James beamed, earning annoyed looks from his friends.
"She went to class to actually obtain an education, unlike you three," McGonagall stated, giving Sirius, James, and Peter annoyed glares. I'm guessing Remus was a good student, then?
"Will you four be kind enough to show Miss O'Reily and Miss Simmons to the Gryffindor common room, please?" Dumbledore questioned the four boys. Sirius nodded and we got up. I glued myself to Helle's side as we made our way out of the office with them. "Oh, by the way. You ladies will find your stuff already set up in your dormitory." I glanced at Helle and she shrugged as we made our way in the halls.
"So, you guys have never been to a magic school before?" James asked.
"Nope." Helle said shortly. Not much of a talker for once, huh?
"And you guys just learned you can do magic?" Sirius asked. I answered this time.
"No, we've always known we were special, we just didn't know there were schools for magic," I stated, earning a slightly annoyed look from Helle.
"You guys aren't really talkers, are you?" James asked. I gave him a shocked look, while knowing Helle's face had to mirror mine.
"Aren't talkers?! Wait until you see us when we're hyper. I dare you to try and shut us up then," Helle challenged, thinking about what would happen if that happened. I nodded knowingly. They were quiet for a while until we got to the portrait hole. The fat lady in the picture stared at Helle and me.
"New students then?" she asked, eyeing us. Helle rolled her eyes and nodded.
"The password is 'gillyweed,'" Remus said firmly. He looked at Helle and me. "Remember that" I nodded and Helle just rolled her eyes again. We'd been doing that a lot lately, hadn't we? Walking into the common room, many people turned to stare at us in shock. Guess they aren't used to getting new students…Suddenly, James let of a whoop and walked over to the redhead, Lily, her name was, and threw his arm around her.
"Say, Lily Flower, are you up for a little midnight stroll tonight?" James asked, smirking at her. She made a disgusted face and shoved him away, making me giggle and causing James to throw me an annoyed look.
"I'd rather date a slug then you, James Potter, so bug off!" she snapped.
"So you'd rather date a Slytherin?" he said, raising an eyebrow.
"You, you, you toe rag!" she snarled, walking away from him. Suddenly she whipped around to look at Helle and me. "Hi, I'm Lily Evans. Would you like me to show you to the dormitories?"
"Sure!" I said excitedly, walking after her with Helle. Up in the dorm room there was a smallish girl with a pixy like hair cut, who I soon found out to be Alice. Sitting down on my new bed, Lily, Alice, Helle, and I got to talking about each other.
"So, what are your likes and dislikes?" Lily asked, smiling at us.
"Moi? J'adore les arts plastiques, faire du l'equitation, lire, faire du théâtre, et…" Helle caught sight of Lily and Alice's confused looks and stopped. "I love art, reading, horseback riding, acting, history, animals, squirrels and music. I don't like math, even though I'm pretty good at it, I hate sports, I refuse to have anything to do with meat, and I don't like when people insult me, or when they're being infuriatingly idiotic." Helle flashed them a rare smile.
Lily and Alice blinked. "What about you, Jessica?" Lily asked.
"I like animals, reading, giving advice, playing cupid, pulling pranks, learning new spells, Pepsi, the color Purple, and lots more as you'll come to find out. I dislike bullies, potions, greasy hair, Pumpkin juice, squirrels, frogs, and anything that's mean" I smiled; proud of what I had come up with. After asking questions back and forth for a while, Lily and Alice started telling us about all of the guys in the School.
"Well, I highly recommend for you to stay away from the infamous Marauders, but seeing as you're most like them," Alice said, motioning towards Helle, " I highly doubt that will happen. And also, stay away from the Slytherins. The Hufflepuffs aren't as bad, but can get a tad annoying sometimes."
"The Ravenclaws are usually really nice, but there are a few bullies you won't like," Lily finished. I nodded, trying to keep up with all this information. And they really had been giving us a lot of it. Telling us all about what they had been working on in School lately, and what they had been learning for the past five years. Also, we learned more about the house feuds and even some about people in all of the different houses. Listening to Lily and Alice talk wasn't really as hard as it is to listen to Helle go on and on, but maybe that's because I was really interested about that they were talking about. I also noticed their personalities a bit. Lily was obviously smart, and extremely pretty. I noticed that she was nice, and was also full of confidence. She was also kind of quiet, and I figured I never wanted to see her temper. Alice was pretty much the opposite though. She was nice, yes, and seemed smart, but she was more loud and outgoing. She got excited about the littlest things we were talking about, and she also blushed a lot.
"This school seems so big!" I burst to no one in particular. Lily nodded though,
"It really is. But luckily, you two will have Alice and me as your guides. Plus, the other Gryffindors aren't so bad… well, except the Marauders," she grumbled. Helle frowned.
"Why do you hate them so much?" she questioned. Lily gave her a startled look.
"I don't hate them. I just dislike Potter and Black very, very much. And Peter is really creepy!" she said, her eyes going wide.
"What about that Remus dude?" I asked.
"He's nice. I don't understand why he's friends with the rest of them, actually. I mean he's smart and almost the top student in the entire School, yet he hangs out with those bullies. I just don't understand," Lily said shaking her head. I nodded, as if I understood, but I didn't. Maybe she should look beyond the outside and see what the boys are truly like? I would say this, but I had a feeling it wouldn't go by well.
"Well, since classes start for us tomorrow," Helle said, pointing to herself and then me, "shouldn't we be getting to bed?"
"You're right! I shouldn't have kept you two up like this. Goodnight!" Lily cried, diving under her covers. I nodded and snuggled under mine. As the lights turned off, I was out quicker then you could say 'flabbergasting'. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what's in store.
Yes, well, a nice long chapter, eh? Took me almost 5 hours to write too! I said it would be over 3,000 words, didn't I? See, I don't lie. I know this chapter had to be awfully boring and not very funny at all, but I needed a filler chapter. Don't worry, I promise in the next chapter there will be a lot of drama, and even more hilarity! Once again, thanks to my beta, xslytherclawx, who is kind enough to yell at me to always hurry up and finish my chapters. Thanks a million, Helle.
(1)-If you really want to know everything they were told, message me and I'll tell you.
Now, I want at least 7 review's before the next chapter comes up. If I get 10 reviews, I'll make sure it's 4000+ words. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
