chapter twenty-two.
It might sound unbelievable, you'll probably think I'm kidding…
I'm an amazing dancer.
'Twinkle Toes', I may be, in fact.
Hermione looked very surprised, as did the rest of the room. It's like one of those hidden talent things; it just came out of nowhere!
'One two three, one two three, one two three,' McGonagall whispered, walking around us as the music played, observing.
The class lasted about three hours, without any catastrophes. After that, we got a special lunch in McGonagall's office and just hung out for the rest of the afternoon. I got to know the rest of the people, who were all very nice, except for the Slytherins, of course.
The one guy Hufflepuff was named David Ateluhcra, he was a transfer student from the Netherlands, and a fantastic singer. The other Hufflepuff girls were named Mary, Sue, Jane and Carlina, which I think is somewhat of an odd name, but she was nice all the same. The older Gryffindor couple's names were Isaac and Cori. The two Ravenclaw couples were Mark and Elizabeth, and Leah and Jacob. The Slytherin girls I didn't really care for much, they just sat alone in a corner the whole time and stared at us, obviously thinking we were prats. Anyway, I can't really remember their names.
'David, that's ridiculous,' Hermione said to him. 'Radishes and turnips have distinct differences.'
'You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one,' He told her. He always put things so poetically.
The Slytherins sneered at us as our conversation went on.
I really don't care if you don't like radishes, turnips or life in general. But can't you please, just stop bugging other people, interrupting their conversations with your stupid laughter? Nobody cares if you think what we said was ridiculous. Honestly!
Anyway, Trevor's been relatively…like a normal toad today. He slept all day as I danced, then hopped out and took my sandwich during lunch, then taking that chance out of my pocket to jump into everyone's soup and hop right back into my pocket. Which is now soaking with chicken, noodles and noodle water.
