Another new chapter and big thank you to all of my reviewers. Quick disclaimer for something I use later in this chapter.

Chapter 12- Silly Suspense and Dragon Dilemma


The next mourning came bright and early and down in the Slytherin dorm rooms Alexia and Lu slept. It was quiet apart from Alexia's faint murmurs of bean stew. A shrill alarm shattered the silence, Lu slowly opened her eyes, yawned and stretched and glanced over to Alexia. Looking over at her bedside table she picked up her potions book a lobbed it over before lying down and waiting for the fireworks. She smiled as she heard a resounding smack and outraged yell. Sitting up she turned to her friend.

"Good mourning Sunshine" she grinned.

She was rewarded with a scowl and a lot of angry mumbling. It was then that Lu was hit with a thought. Why had she set her alarm clock in the first place? She looked over at Alexia and saw the same realisation show in her eyes as they both yelled

"Quidditch results".


Running out of the portrait hole they split up each heading to different common room. Arriving at the Ravenclaw portrait she quickly said the password (she overheard it from another Ravenclaw) and darted up the stairs trying to find the correct dorm. After accidentally charging into the 2nd year girls dorm and the 6th year boys, she found the right room, ran in and overturned Emily's bed.

Emily had been having a wonderful dream about her on a beautiful ship, the sky was blue and the sun shined brightly. Smiling, Emily soaked up the rays when she felt a slight chill, lifting up her sunglasses she watched as clouds quickly covered the sky and the sea became rough and choppy. Her ship tossed and turned and then without warning it capsized sending Emily flying over the edge and suddenly the Ravenclaw dorm came into view. Blowing the hair out of her face she felt her mattress lying on top of her and the cold floor beneath her. Looking up she saw the smiling faces of Lu and Cassy.

"Thanks" she said in an annoyed tone "I really needed that".


Alexia meanwhile stood impatiently outside the Hufflepuff waiting for Lewis and Billie to come out. After another 5 minutes they emerged with twin goofy smiles plastered across their faces. Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Alexia smiled and together the 3 raced to meet the others. Meeting up in the entrance hall the six stared at the huge crowd around the notice board.

"How the heck are we going to get through that" sighed Billie.

"Watch and learn" grinned Lewis "Gang way, hot coffee coming through, move or be burned". The crowd quickly parted allowing the 6 to squeeze through.

"Good job" congratulated Lu.

"Works every time" replied Lewis.

Looking at the board they saw the line up for the Hufflepuff Team.

The Hufflepuff Team– Ernie Macmillan (Beater/ Captain), Justin Finch Fletchly (Beater), Susan Bones (Seeker), Hannah Abbot (Chaser), Daphne Greengrass (Chaser), Billie Martins (Chaser), Lewis Mon (Keeper).

Billie and Lewis started screaming and jumping up and down, they moved away from the board and the other 4 crowded around.

The Ravenclaw Team – Cho Chang (Chaser/Captain), Cassy Lankton (Seeker), Terry Boot (Beater), Emily Remmings (Beater), Padma Patil (Chaser), Lisa Turpin (Chaser), Anthony Goldstein (Keeper).

Cassy smiled and Emily squeaked in excitement before hugging Cassy as hard as she could.

"Em, let me go I can't breathe" gasped Cassy.

The area was now clearing as Alexia and Lu looked at the Slytherin Team.

The Slytherin Team – Draco Malfoy (Seeker/Captain), Gregory Goyle (Beater), Alexia Campbell (Beater), Pansy Parkinson (Chaser), Blaise Zabini (Chaser), Louise Glazier (Chaser), Millicent Bulstrode (Keeper).

Lu and Alexia shared a high five before turning to face the others.

"Isn't it amazing we all made" Lu grinned.

Everyone stared upwards before yelling "Thankyou miss author".

"So what have we got now" Alexia asked turning to Cassy.

Pulling her schedule out of her pocket Cassy stared down at it.

"Nothing" she sighed, the other looked at her in horror.

"So" began Billie "This could be the end".

"I guess it is" stated Emily.

They were interrupted by a slither of paper that came fluttering down the stairs and pinned itself to the notice board. They slowly crowded around and read DEFENCE AGAINST THE DARK ART SPECIAL CLASS FOR THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS.

"Terrific an hour with the frog" sighed Emily as they all trudged off to Umbridge's classroom. Arriving with 5 minutes to spare they took their seats and waited. They didn't have to wait long as the door creaked open and the splodge of pink entered. She strode over to her desk, sat down and stared at the 6. The pressure was too much for poor Lewis who fell off his chair shrieking "The horror, the horror".

Smiling in satisfaction Umbridge stood and spoke. "Please turn to page 357".

The 6 pulled out their books and flicked them open and saw they would be studying dragons.

"Now since you are new to all of this I will read it slowly so you can understand". Umbridge started before clearing her throat. "A-Dra-gon-is-a-mam-mal-that-is-be-lieved-to-be-myth-a-logi-cal, now that's a big, big word which you probably don't understand".

Alexia turned to Lu, she didn't even have to speak. The look of outrage on her face was mirrored by everyone else.

"And now we shall have a test" Umbridge spoke the dreaded words.

Emily and Lu grinned, they weren't Harry Potter fans for nothing.

"You shall be required to name 6 different types of dragon, one from each of you" Umbridge continued. While she spoke she didn't notice Emily writing down names of Dragons on paper and passing them to her friends. She shared a low 5 under the table with Lu. Umbridge turned to Alexia "You can start".

Alexia quickly glanced down at the slip of paper and read "Swedish Short-snout"

Umbridge looked upset and quickly turned away muttering correct under her breath. Focussing her attention on Cassy she waited for her answer. Cassy quickly looked down and repeated "Chinese Fireball". Umbridge furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance before turning to Billie. Billie had already read her paper and answered "Hungarian Horntail". Umbridge refused to even give her answer as she turned to Emily who smiled at her and said "Welsh Green". Turning very red in the face she looked to Lu who said "Norwegian Ridgeback".

Lewis grinned as he waited for his turn. He was about to look at his piece of paper when a strong gust of wind blew it out of his hands, out of the window, down to the lake where the giant squid ate it. "Crud" moaned Lu who had seen the whole event. Umbridge turned her evil eyes on Lewis who yelled the first thing that came into his head, "Spyro". "Spyro" echoed Umbridge. "Spyro" confirmed Lewis crossing his arms and staring at her. Umbridge looked at him. Lu let her head drop into her arms. "Is it a new breed"? Lu looked up, had she heard correctly, Umbridge believed Lewis. "Indeed" smiled Lewis". Umbridge pulled out a note pad and quill and began to write "Please tell me more" she exclaimed.

"It is an ancient breed" Lewis continued in his wise master voice.

"Do tell" Umbridge squeaked in an excited school girl fashion.

"Spyro is a mystical descendant of the Dragon Family who is forever trapped in the circular disk world that is known as P.S.2" Lewis continued.

"How horrible" cried Umbridge "Poor little Spyro".

Alexia looked to Cassy who looked as if someone had thrown a brick in her face.

"I must save him" yelled Umbridge going into a heroic pose "For the good of puppies, ice-cream and pretty, pretty flowers".

Umbridge then proceeded to run out of the room screaming at the top of her voice "I'm coming Spyro".

There was silence in the classroom before all 6 got out of there seats, packed their stuff away and left quietly.
