Chapter 8: Hogsmead
Halloween was getting closer and closer everyone had sent home a slip to get permission to go on the trip to a town not far from Hogwarts which was called Hogsmead. Kieran and his friends had sent a letter to their families and they hadn't heard anything quite so yet.
On the upside of things Harry had kept his promise and everyone's pets had been delivered. Charlotte had her tabby cat called Tinkerbelle, Kieran had his pet lizard called Steve, Zack had his owl called Flick, Laura had Panda called Samantha, Pip had her owl Owen and Emily had her lion club called Lala. A few days later Pixie, Rupert, Colin, Tom and Josh had their pets delivered as well. Pixie had his red Panda called Pickalo, Rupert had his pet rat called Moddy, Colin can his pet owl called dragon, Tom had his wolf club called George and Josh had his Chameleon called Allen. Everyone was happy with their pets.
"I wonder when we get our permission slips back" Said Charlotte starring into the ceiling as everyone was sat in moaning myrtles bathroom.
"I don't know" Replied Laura, starring at her Charlotte's Cat
"It would be fun to go" Smiled Pip thinking about how cool it would be
"Yeah but everyone goes in a day's time, it's unlikely we will get the slips here by then" Said Zack
"I guess your right"
"Hey Guys" Said Rupert and Colin as they walked into the room
"Hey" Everyone else said unhappy
"Awe Guys what's wrong?" Asked Colin
"We won't be going to Hogsmead" Answered Josh
"What? Why not?" Asked Rupert
"Because our parents haven't signed the forms yet and it's unlikely they will get here on time"
"But that's not fair" Said Colin
"You're telling me" Whined Charlotte
"So what are you going to do tomorrow then?" Asked Colin
"We don't have a clue" Answered Emily
Later that night in the Slytherin boys' dormitories, Kieran was sat their doing his homework listening to Tom and Josh talk away like the world was never going to end.
"Hey Kieran" Said Tom
"Yeah" He answered
"Do you think Emily likes me?" Said Tom, unsure about her feelings for him
"Uh...I don't know...we haven't really talked about who we like at this school yet"
"Uh...come on Kieran you must know, you're like her best friend here"
"Well I guess so; I mean the other day she was talking about you quite a bit"
"What did she say?" Asked Josh
"She kept saying how good you are Tom on spells...but no one can ever bet me with spells"
"You wanna bet" Said Josh, Josh slowly thought about it "Never mind" he said quickly
"That's what I thought" Smirked Kieran.
In the Hufflepuff house, Pixie sat in his room talking to his pet. No one else was in the dormitories so he thought he might have a chat with Pickalo.
"Do you know why people think I'm weird?"
"It's because they don't understand you" Said Pickalo into Pixie's head, Pixie nodded and smiled
"Then why are Laura, Charlotte, Pip, Zack, Colin, Rupert, Emily, Kieran, Josh and Tom my friends?"
"Because they think you are cool, you're just like them. No one else understands you like they do"
"Pickalo, you're the coolest pet in the world"
"I know"
In the Gryffindor common house sat Zack, Colin and Rupert talking away. Rupert happened to be confessing his feelings for Laura.
"She's just so smart, so cute and so pretty"
"I think they're the same thing" Said Zack
"No I don't think they are" Replied Colin
"Oh and how would you know that?" Asked Zack
"Because we have girls which are our best friends"
"Are you sure about your answer through?" Asked Zack
"Yes I think so" Answered Colin
"But are you sure your sure"
"YES!"
"Guys?" Asked Rupert, trying to get their attention
"But are you sure"
"Yes"
"But are you really really sure"
"Yes"
"Guys!" Said Rupert, still trying to get their attention.
"Hey Guys" Said Pip, walking over to them
"Hi Pip" Said Rupert
"What are they doing?" She said pointing to Zack and Colin who were arguing
"Fighting over something"
"Okay...GUYS!" Pip screamed, Zack and Colin jumped out of their seats and looked at her
"Finally...thanks Pip" Smiled Rupert
"Pip, you're a girl..." Said Zack, Pip rolled her eyes
"Thanks for noticing Zack"
"You're welcome...okay so we want to know whether Pretty and cute mean the same thing or not?"
"They're not...cute is like awe that baby is so sweet and cute and pretty well...it just means nice"
"See I told you" Grinned Colin"
"You're welcome"
In Ravenclaw girls dormitories sat Laura and Charlotte, Laura was reading a book on muggle's while Charlotte was feeding her cat and making sure Laura's baby panda was happy.
"Your panda has been fed" Smiled Charlotte
"Thanks" Said Laura
"I think Kieran likes Josh" Said Charlotte, Laura looked up.
"What?" Said Laura
"I think Kieran like Josh"
"How do you know this?"
"The way he looks at Josh sometimes"
"What does he look like?"
"Like he's in love"
"He deserves it after all of these years"
"But do you think Josh feels the same way?" Asked Charlotte.
"I don't know but I hope he does" Charlotte smiled at Laura's last sentence.
The Next morning, students were buzzing with happiness, excited for the day ahead of them. Well apart from a group of friends who hadn't go their letters from their families. So they had to stay at Hogwarts. After breakfast everyone headed down to the carts that would take them to the village which was called Hogsmead.
"See You Later" Smiled Laura, hugging Rupert goodbye for the day
"We'll get you all something" Said Colin
"You don't have to do that Colin" Replied Charlotte smiling back at him.
"We want to!" Smiled Colin, in a cheerful voice, Charlotte and Laura giggled at him
"So what are you going to do?" Asked Rupert, letting go of Laura
"I don't know probably go to the library and then find everyone" Said Charlotte
"LAST GROUP OF STUDENTS, WE'RE LEAVING NOW!" Shouted one of the teachers, Colin and Rupert smiled at the two girls and then left them to go to Hogsmead.
"Let's go to the library" Said Laura
Meanwhile with Kieran, he finally had woken up from the night's sleep he had. Kieran dreamed about a girl, a girl he didn't know but he felt a connection there. He wanted to know who she was and what she wanted. Kieran got dressed into his weekend clothes and walked down into the common room.
"Hello?" Asked Kieran, looking around to see if anyone was there "Hello is anyone here" he asked again and got no resonance. Kieran walked out of the Slytherin house only to get attacked by a man dressed in black, he even had a mask.
"Ahh!" Shouted Kieran falling over.
"Well those pancakes were nice" Smiled Josh
"I bet they were" Said Emily who had just finished her toast
"So are we going to find Pip and Zack?" Asked Tom
"Sure let's go find them" Answered Josh, and the three of them went of searching for Zackary Potter and Pip Weasley.
Kieran's Pov
This guy just jumped out of no way and started attacking I didn't know what to do; both our wands fell down the stairs. The Spell! A few weeks ago when my friends and I were in the library I found this spell where I could cast a fight spell on myself. I've already cast it but I haven't put into action. So it's time to see if it actually worked or not. I started punching and kicking, I wanted to get rid of him as fast as I could. Suddenly I realized we were on the moving stairs, oh dear this can't be good.
"Time to die Potter" Said the man, a punch head my way, I ducked and kicked him in the knee. The guy lost his balance and started falling down the stairs, I raced after him. Luckily the moving stairs got into the next floor and then he turned to dusted. I just stared at it in disbelief.
"Hey Kieran" Said a voice, I looked up to find Pip and Zack.
"What's wrong?" Asked Zack
"I killed someone" I answered
-End of Pov-
"Hey Guys" Said Pixie, walking up to Charlotte and Laura. Laura was sat down with her head down in a book reading, Charlotte looked up and smiled.
"Hey Pixie"
"What you doing?" He Asked
"Well Laura's studying and well I'm just here bored."
"Guys...I'm trying to read." Said Laura, annoyed
"Sorry" Said Charlotte and Pixie together
"So what are you doing?" Charlotte said to Pixie
"Well I was bored so I came here looking for you guys. I had a feeling one of you would be down here studying"
"Good call"
"Hey I wonder what Kieran and the others are doing!" Said Pixie
"Oh My God...I give up..." Complained Laura
"Sorry" Said Charlotte
"We were just bored" Replied Pixie
"Sat here"
"Alone"
"With you reading"
"Is so boring" They both said together
"Alright, alright...we'll go and find them" Said Laura, picking up the book she was reading and following the two of them out.
"Someone wasn't happy" Muttered Pixie, while Charlotte just laughed at him.
"I can hear you!" Said Laura
"What are you on about Kieran!" Said Pip
"I killed someone!" Shouted Kieran
"Then who, because I don't see anyone here...all I see is you, me and Pip" Said Zack
"The dust!" Kieran shouted pointing to where he saw the death eater turn into dust, I looked and saw no dust. "But it was right there" Muttered Kieran, confused about what just happened
"Kieran stop lying" Said Zack
"But I'm not lying" He said
"You are!" Shouted Zack
"Hey guys, what's wrong?" Asked Emily who had walked up to the group with Tom.
"Hey Guys" Smiled Pip "Where's Josh?"
"He went looking for Laura and Charlotte" Said Tom
"Oh, well I think they are in the library" Answered Pip
"Yeah that's where he said he was going to check" Replied Tom
"Hiya" Smiled Laura as she approached them with Charlotte, Pixie and Josh in toe.
"Hi Guys" Smiled Pip, who was now hugging both Charlotte and Laura at the same time.
"Hi Josh" Smiled Kieran, Kieran paid close attention to Josh, as something about him seemed odd
"Hey Kieran, how's your morning been" Asked Josh, as he did that, his eyes flashed to a different colour. Kieran knew this wasn't Josh it was someone...something else.
"Josh, what's my favourite colour?" He asked
"Blue"
"No it's green" Said Kieran, punching Josh in the face. He then got his wand out and casted a spell
"Stupefy" Josh went flying back
"KIERAN!" Shouted Charlotte
"What?" He asked
"You just attacked Josh"
"It's not Josh"
"Yes it is, your mental" Kieran saw that 'the' Josh was slowly getting up so he casted the spell 'Incendio' but it didn't affect him, he just turned into an animal/human species
"What is that?" Asked Pixie scared, suddenly the real Josh appeared
"Hey Guys-What the hell is that?"
"A Shapeshifter" Muttered Charlotte and Laura, together
