Classes have finally begun! I am so ready to learn new spells! And I am so lucky that I get Transfigurations for 2 hours! I love Transfigurations! I mean who doesn't? You could change a shoe, for instance, into a dress! Isn't that awesome! Okay, enough of my rambling on about how much I love that class. Right now we are learning how to change a rock, cup, ring, etc. into a clock and then back. Easy stuff. Hermione and I always sit next to each other because we finish everything before everyone else, so when we are done we just talk.
"I finally heard about the punch that you threw at Draco. Good job! I bet it felt great!" Hermione whispered.
"It did. Feeling his nose crack as my hand hit it was wonderful. It gave me a sense of strength! I love that feeling!"
"I can't wait till I have an excuse to punch him!" My mouth formed a small 'o' when she said that. "What? After all the times he's called me 'mudblood', I think that I deserve to punch that jerk."
"I guess that you're right." I shrugged.
"Ladies. Please be quiet! Class, get out your work and let us go over it." McGonagall said.
The rest of the class was boring and last only like 20 minutes, but it felt like an hour.
Potions (aka: hell) had been canceled so we had an extra 2 hours! Yay! I went up to the common room to find Riley, but he wasn't there. A group of 3rd year Gryffindors walked in and so I asked one of them if they've seen Riley and one said that they saw him in the Great Hall. I thanked them and ran down the Grand Staircase till I reached the Great Hall and found Riley sitting by himself reading a book at the Gryffindor table. I put my hands over his eyes and said, "Guess who."
"Let me think. McGonagall."
I laughed and sat down next to him.
"Oh! Andra! So close!" I playfully punched him in the shoulder making him laugh.
Note to Self: Make Riley laugh more often.
"What book are you reading?"
"Eragon. It's pretty good."
"Cool." I looked around and saw most of the Gryffindor quidditch team was at the table (including Riley and I) and the whole Slytherin team was at their table. And there where a few other people from other houses sitting playing wizard chess or something. Suddenly there was a huge laugh from a blond girl who was clinging to Harry Potter's arm while looking dreamingly at him.
"He is so full of it, don't you think." I said turning to Riley.
"Him? Harry Potter? Nah!" he sad laughing to show that he was joking. As if I couldn't tell.
"Look at that blond! She is so... ya know? Ewww!" I said as I saw Harry pin her to the wall and make out with her.
"I'm right there with ya." We started laughing and then just talked till the next class came- Charms.
"Hey. Will you sit next to me in Charms?"
"Sure!" He said smiling. Yay I thought to myself. I smiled to him before I left. I looked back at Harry and they were still making out. I nearly gaged.
XXXXX
Finally! The weekend! Quidditch matches, no homework, and I get to spend time to with friends! Oh! And most of all! The 3rd year dance is coming up! I'm so excited! I heard that people were already getting dates! I need one. Hermione is tagging along with Harry and Ron, who both have dates. I guess that I'll go with Riley. I've never seen him dance. This should be fun.
"Hurry up Andra! We can't play without you!" Harry said putting his arm around my waist while dragging me out of the common room and away from my friends. I was just about to ask Riley if he would like to go to the dance with me. "You look pretty today."
"I would say the same about you but I don't like to lie." I said with a smirk.
He brought his head a bit close to mine and said, "I really don't know why you hate me so much. Everybody loves me!"
"I beg to differ." I said under my breath.
"As I was saying," he took my head between his hands, "I think you look pretty today, so I think that a nice gold color dress would make you look gorgeous. So why don't we try this little experiment the night of the dance. What do you say?"
"I say that you are a jerk! Never in my life would I want to go to the dance with you!" I spat in his face. He just laughed.
"Well, you can't possibly have a date already."
"Actually I do!"
"Pray tell." He said.
"Riley agreed to be my date for the dance, Harry Potter. So as it seems- you are too late." "Well. You'll come around." He was about to say something else but his girlfriend came around the corner. "Hey sweetie. You are coming to our game right?"
"I wouldn't miss it." Said the blondy who just notice my presents. "Uh, Harry... who is she?"
"I am Andra Adams, Gryffindor." I said with a huge smile.
"I take it that you are on the Quidditch team?" She said looking at my uniform.
"No duh. Well I'm going to go practice, buh-bye." I said skipping off but not before I looked back and saw her practically jumping on him. I rolled my eyes and ran to the Quidditch field to find only the infamous twins, Fred and George, practicing. This should be fun. I though to myself, rolling my eyes.
"Oh lookie here, George."
"I say! What brings you here?" George says flying down on his broom.
"Well. We do have a game and I missed last practice, but I'm here practicing. Now if you'll excuse me." I said trying to push past them.
"Whoa. You're a Chaser right?" Fred asked me.
"Yeah."
"Do you want to race?" George said, followed by Fred.
"It'll be great practice for your speed."
"What's the catch?" I said crossing my arms.
"No catch. We need
to practice too."
I shrugged and hopped onto my broom.
"Where are we racing too?"
"All the way around the castle." Fred said proudly while high fiving George.
"All the way around?"
"All the way."
"Okay then. All the way around! On my mark. 1... 2... 3!" We both shot off with Fred in the lead and then George pulled in front of him. It came to the last part and I pulled through to the front. Literally out of breath I crossed the finish line and threw my hands up in the air, only causing me to fall to the ground at an amazing pace. And let me tell you falling from 200 feet in the air is not on my list to do. I closed my eyes and prayed. Dear Lord! Don'tletmediedon'tletmediedon'tletmediedon'tletmediedjon'tletmedie! Love, Andra. Not the best prayer, I know.
I decided to open my eyes and I saw the ground. I brought my arms over my head and then everything went black.
