I finally updated and apologise for the wait, thanks to everyone who reviewed and I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 13 Shopping Sprees and Christmas Cheer
A new day dawned bright and early and the 6 met in the entrance hall with everyone else. They had all been looking forward to the Hogsmeade visit for ages and with Christmas being tomorrow, it was the perfect opportunity to buy some presents. As they walked down the pathway snow softly began to fall from the sky, Lu looked up and glared.
"I hate the cold"
Emily grinned "Don't we all".
Their mini conversation was interrupted when Lu received a snowball to the back of the head. She turned to see Lewis looking rather guilty, when he saw her staring he quickly pointed to Alexia. Lu turned back to Emily,
"Do you reckon anyone would notice if I avada kedavaed him".
"Sadly, I think they would" Emily replied.
The village appeared as they turned the last bend and the group split up to go to their respected shops. Cassy trudged through the snow and pushed open the door to a bookshop. The warm cascaded over her and she pulled off her gloves and surveyed the store around her. There were thousands and thousands of books piled up on shelves and tucked away in the corner the shopkeeper sat writing something in a note book. Brushing her finger against the spines of the books she came across one that stood out, pulling it out she grinned, "The World's Hottest Wizards", a perfect gift for Emily. Skimming through the book, she paused,
"I didn't know George Clooney was a wizard".
Crossing over to the other side of the room she found "A guide to Gothic Magic" was a great choice for Alexia and "Harry Potter the Biography" was a dream book for Lu. She only had Billie and Lewis to buy for now. It took a while but as she climbed the ladder to reach the upper shelves she came across both books on the same shelf. "Transfiguring Horrible Furniture into cute fluffy animals" and "Magical pranks, a beginner's guide" were added to her collection. With her presents selected Cassy climbed down and walked to the shopkeeper.
Lewis meanwhile had found Honeydukes and was pondering over the huge display of sweets, as he grabbed chocolate frogs and fizzing whizzbees he noticed Lu emerge from Zonkos. Lu grinned at her selection of gifts which ranged from a normal looking text book that recorded the user's thoughts to an airgun. Emily meanwhile was wandering around a local clothes store and now she was beginning to see the advantages of buying magical clothing. She still had her range of everyday clothes including a gorgeous dress made of velvet that she picked up for Alexia. But there was also a football shirt that changed team strips for Cassy, a shirt that changed slogans to whatever the wearer was thinking for Lu and a black shirt that turned pink whenether the wearer was embarrassed which was defiantly for Lewis. Grinning as she left the store she gave a whoop and did a little dance, people began to stare,
"What" Emily asked her curious audience "I've finished my Christmas shopping, am I not entitled to my celebration dance?"
Alexia leant over the glass cabinet inside the jewellery store and stared at the selection before her, there was colour changing trinkets and even a loveheart necklace that showed the wearer's opinion of the nearest person. Alexia pointed out her choices to the shopkeeper and paid. Billie finally finished her shopping and rushed across the snow covered streets with her purchases and pushed the door to the 3 broomsticks open.
"Over here" a voice called out. Billie turned to see Lu waving to her from a corner table, which the others were crowded around.
"Isn't it amazing how quick the weeks have gone by" Cassy said to others.
"Amazingly quick" Lewis commented and suddenly 2 hours past.
"What the..." Cassy looked around the room in shock and then she looked upwards "Stop messing with time".
"Sorry" came the voice of a very apologetic author.
As the day drew to a close the 6 returned to their dorm rooms, the next day would be Christmas and that night everyone's dreams were filled with presents, turkey and Christmas lights.
Cassy awoke to the feeling of being bounced, she opened her eyes to see Emily bouncing on her bed yelling
"Christmas, Christmas, Christmas".
Groaning Cassy sat up, Emily turned and a look of surprise appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced with a hyper grin and she grab Cassy's arms and began yelling,
"Christmas, Christmas, Christmas".
After 10 minutes both girls ran down to their deserted common room and there were the presents. Emily dived straight in, grabbing the first present she looked at the tag "To Emily from Cassy". Tearing apart the wrapping paper she took out the book and read the title, 3 seconds later Billie and Lewis were awoken by the world's loudest squeal. The pair grinned before laying back down "Emily" they both thought. After everyone had opened their gifts the 6 headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. As they sat down at the Ravenclaw table nobody noticed that concealed underneath the table Emily had brought her newly acquired air gun. Lu suddenly saw Ginny flirting with Harry, HER HARRY. Spotting the airgun underneath the table she turned to Emily.
"May I borrow that most excellent piece of technology for a moment my dear friend"
"Certainly" Emily replied and she passed the airgun over.
Lu took careful aim and pulled the string back as far as it would possibly go.
"Hey, your not meant to pull it back that far" Cassy yelled.
Lu ignored her and pulled the string further still and then she released it. The blast of air sent Ginny flying through the doors, past Hagrid's hut and into the forest. Harry continued to stare at the spot where Ginny had been only seconds ago. Lu's magical slogan shirt read "I'm a girl, high on sugar with a loaded airgun, stay out of my way." Emily turned to Lu,
"Hey, can I have my airgun back I must conduct a scientific experiment"
Lu handed the airgun back and her shirt immediately changed "I may not have an airgun but I'm still high on sugar". Emily took aim at her intended target pulled the string back and fired. What happened next would change the world forever. Severus Snape had been talking to Minerva McGonagall when suddenly he was hit by a giant blast of air. What nobody in the world had known was that Severus Snape was actually bald and his famous black hair was actually a wig. The blast sent his wig flying through the air and then setting it down in Dumbledore's plate of alphabetty spaghetti. The hall was silent. The only movement came from Lu's shirt which read "Crud Cakes". Dumbledore leaned forward and plucked the wig out, stood up and walked over to Severus. He put the wig back on Sev's head with a dodgy sounding splat. The silence continued until suddenly a phone rang out the tune from Benny Hill, Alexia's eyes went wide and she fished her magical phone that worked inside Hogwarts out of her pocked and answered it, another silence followed until Alexia placed the phone back in her pocket,
"Sorry" she said "Wrong number".
By now Lewis had noticed that the remaining spaghetti letters in Snape's hair had spelt out a very rude word and his shirt immediately turned pink. Snape stood.
"Who did this" he hissed in a very dangerous voice.
Emily slumped down in her seat.
"Well" Snape roared. Nobody raised their hands. Snape turned to each table in turn and his eyes focussed on the Ravenclaw's table and spotted Emily.
"You" he yelled.
"I... uh...what I mean is... uh" Emily stammered.
"Well girl spit it out" Snape hissed. "Who is responsible?"
"I... no, I mean uh" Emily spluttered getting more and more flustered.
"WHO WAS IT" Snape screamed.
"CRABBE" Emily yelled back.
There was total silence.
"Crabbe" Whispered Snape.
"Crabbe" Emily confirmed.
The boy in question looked up to see his head of house stamping over.
"March boy" Snape roared and poor Crabbe was dragged out of the hall screaming for mercy. Emily smiled and turned around to see a group of flabbergasted friends.
"What" Emily said looking at them "You didn't expect me to take the blame did you".
Lu snorted and Alexia gave her a bemused look. Cassy glared at her but Lewis and Billie were making out to much to make a comment.
Wahey chapter 13 is done, all reviews are appreciated so please review I beg of you.
