Dinner was amazing, better than the spaghetti I'm used to at my house. I filled my plate, and dug in, so did Holly. We both barely said a word, we were too busy eating. When I looked up to see three gingers, a boy with black hair, and a girl with bushy brown hair staring at us with smirks on their faces. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate it when people smirk at me?
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I say to them. The girl with bushy hair looked at me in shock, the boy with the black hair along with one of the gingers, stared at me with open mouths. But the other two gingers' smirks got bigger. "Well I would take a picture, but the real thing is so much better." said one of the gingers. They were obviously twins. They had some differences, but they weren't very visible.
Holly was about to make, what would probably be a mean, yet hilarious comment, when he said "Just kidding love. My names Gorge. This is my twin Fred," well I was right about them being twins. "Right here is our little brother Ron, next to him is Hermione, and right here is Harry Potter." he said pointing at each of them in turn. "Oh yeah! I thought you looked familiar! I did a paper on how you shouldn't be alive in 4th grade! I got a C+" She grumbled out that last part.
Harry blushed slightly, looking embarrassed. "Cat leave the poor boy alone! Your almost as mean to him as you are sweet nuts!" There! That aught to do it! Holly looked offended, "I could never be that cruel to another person! Sweet nuts would be so upset!" we burst out laughing. The other kids looked so confused I almost felt bad for them. " You know me better than that smurf!" I shot her a quick glare.
"Wait, wait, wait. So your name is Smurf and your name is Cat?" Harry asked. Holly and I laughed even harder. "No! My nickname is Smurf, and her nickname is Cat. Our friend Rose's nickname is Books and Liane's is Twitch. Don't ask why though, it's such a long story we wouldn't have enough time to tell you!" The twins laughed along with us this time, but Ron, Harry, and Hermione still looked a little confused.
All of a sudden Ron blurted out, rather rudely "Your accents are so weird!" I burst out laughing, but Holly looked kind of pissed "Look who's talking! I could be talking in a straight up Minnesotan accent!" Fred, I'm pretty sure that's his name...or maybe he's Gorge? Any way, he asked "Could you do that for us?" I laughed and nodded "OOH FOR CUUUTE!" I said in my thickest Minnesota accent, they looked at us like we were crazy. " Oh Dylan! I think you might have scared them a little, ya" Holly said in her Minnesotan accent. "Oh ya, maybe your right Holly!" We burst out laughing again.
"Ok. That was bloody awesome!" Ron said. Gorge, I think he's the one that asked me, "Why do they call you smurf?" I rolled my eyes at Holly "Because, I'm exactly five feet tall, and if it's at least sixty degrees or less outside I start turning blue. I can't help it that I can't handle the cold! But it is kind of ironic that that happens but I live in Minnesota," Holly and I looked at each other, smiled and said "MORE LIKE MINNE-SNOW-DA!" then started laughing again. They looked at us like we were crazy.
"Holly I think we're scaring off the nice people." I whispered loudly so they would hear. "I think so too" Holly said with a smile. This is what we call the crazy test, if these people can handle us when we're purposefully being insane, then they're good friends. Our muggle friend came up with this; of course Sofia called it the bitch test.
"No! We're just not used to you yet. Your strange, but I think you'll fit in nicely" Hermione said. We have one official friend. "I don't know Hermione, these girls kind of scare me..." Holly smiled darkly at him "good" she said, then every one started laughing at Ron's terrified face.
"Any one who can make my brother look like that is okay in my book!" Gorge said, cracking up. " By the way, how old are the two of you?" Harry asked. "I'm fourteen, but I'm turning fifteen in April." I said Holly stuck her tongue out at me saying, "I all ready turned fifteen." I glared at her and she smirked at me.
"Cool, so you'll be in our year," Hermione stated "It'll be nice to have some girl friends in my year." I smiled at her; I think she's going to be fun to hang out with. Then the food disappeared, like it apperated away. I was heartbroken. All that delicious food, gone, it made me want to cry! "Wifey, don't worry. The food will be back tomorrow morning!" I laughed at her, while Fred and Gorge looked confused. "What do you mean by..." "Don't ask." Holly and I say at the same time. We all laugh, ugh. I guess that I have to stand up now.
"You two can follow me to the girls dormitories, the Gryffindor commons room is one of my favorite places in the world. You too probably have your own room because all the others are full." Hermione began to babble about random facts about the Gryffindor common room, and Hogwarts, and everything else on the face of the planet. I groaned, Hermione the Human Dictionary just wouldn't shut up! I looked at Holly we both rolled our eyes and followed Hermione to the Gryffindor common room.
We were walking out of the room when a boy with platinum blonde hair and pale blue eyes stopped us. "Well hello ladies, I know a great broom closet with our names on it." then he winked at me, like hell I would say yes to this jerk. I was about to tell him off when Gorge came up behind me, "Bugger off Malfoy. Leave the girls alone before I knock your head off." Malfoy, being the dumb ass that he is, smirked at me. You don't smirk at me after you've pissed me off. You just don't do it. I laughed at his stupidity, and before he could even look my way, I punched him straight in the nose. I felt a satisfying crack as my fist broke his nose.
"Come near me, or my friends, ever again, and I'll make you wish you were never born. Stay the hell away from me." and with that I walked out of the room. Holly right by my side. I didn't look back, but if i did, I would have seen every one (except Malfoy, he was rolling on the floor in pain) with their jaws on the floor in sock and awe. What a great way to make new friends.
"THAT WAS BLODDY AMAZING!" Fred shouted at me. Gorge came up to me and gave me a high five. "That was bloody brilliant Dylan. This is even better than when Hermione slapped him." I looked at Hermione quizzically, "You're going to have to tell me that story sometime." Ron still had his jaw on the floor; I looked at him, tilted my head, and said "Your going to catch flies like that."
Ron's ears turned bright red. I laughed at him. "No need to be a jerk," he mumbled. I was stunned I forgot to tell them about me and my friends rule, "I'm sorry I should really explain that to you. See me and my friends tease each other a lot. If I didn't think of you as a friend i would either punch you, or ignore you. Sorry if i come off as a jerk. If you don't want me to tease you just tell me not to and I wont" Ron smiled, "s'okay, these two gits make fun of me enough, I know they don't mean it either." I smiled gratefully at him.
"Aaaaand heeeere we are!" Gorge said, like an announcer selling a car. I smiled at him. I was beginning to like this guy. "All I see are some paintings." I said obviously I knew the entrance was one of the paintings...but I could tell he really wanted to sow me himself. "Aaah little lady, don't judge on what you see."
"Hello you lot, having fun playing tour guides are you?" a portrait of a fat lady said, I imagined that she's the entrance. "Fortuna Major" Gorge said in a sing song voice. The portrait swung open.
