A/N;Shawnie and Shawniecat
Shawnie; First of all, sorry about the author mistake, I copied it from the other sight, and forgot to change it to this Author name I'm using for this sight.
Now back currentA/N, each chapter of the Holiday portion is pretty short, I should be done editing and posting all five chapters either by the end of today or tomorrow.
Shawniecat;Now that said, let get on with the story.
We don't own Harry Potter and its characters, and please review.
Early the next ,morning, after arriving at the Resort, Harry and Jamie brought out their snowboards, and wore their winter clothing, had left their room for some practice on a half pipe.
Just outside the hotel, Harry and Jocelyn saw a number of free half pipes." Which shell we go on first, Harry?" Jamie asked since the half pipes were different sizes." I'm in for a challenge, lets go for a long one, and lets do it together." Harry suggested, and Jamie jumped at the idea, and they quickly left for the longest half pipe the Resort had, and claim it before some else did.
At the half pipe, Harry and Jamie, while on their snowboards stood opposite side of the pipe, and with a jump, they took off, and did some simple Grab air, two-handed inverts, to harder ones like 540s, and 780, while at the same time, they had not noticed they were taking a crowd, since the twins was mirroring each other without the other knowing.
About half an hour later, after doing a complicated spin high in the air, both flew down, and did a hard break, just stopping from a foot from each other." Not bad Jamie, we still got it, even after a year of not snowboarding." Harry happily said, as they both dusted snow from their clothes, but cheers, and claps sounded around them, making both twins blushed, as they now noticed a large crowd had gather about the pipe." Should've known this would happen Harry, but come on, lets eat, I'm starving." Jamie laughed, as hers and Harry's stomach growled." Sound good to me, lets go." Harry smiled, and they both left the half pipe smiling at the attention.
About halfway to the hotel, the twins were called upon by Hermione." WOW, you both were great; I was able to watch you both from my window." Hermione quickly informed her friends, as she ran from the hotel." Thanks, we had lots of practice last year." Jamie said, as they entered the hotel, and left for the restaurant.
After a quick breakfast, the twins found a deserted area, and teleported home to get the note of consent to be in the contest from Tamara, which he was more then willing to give the twins, and once the note was in their hands, the twin's teleported back to the hotel.
Once back, the twins and Hermione found Larry in the lobby area, and handed both the note, and the application to him." Hmm, everything is in order, and the note is more then enough to get you both in." Larry informed the twins, as he smiled." I will get this to the supervisor, he will be more then happy to see that you both are in." Larry happily said, as he left the friends, to head to the managers office.
The remainder of the day, the twins was skiing slowly, on a long but leveled wooded trail with Hermione, talking about the events." I hope you two will be alright, since that course, look like it's for advance snowboarders." Hermione worriedly said." Don't worry too much, since we if get into trouble, we can place our protective bubble around us, which luckily no one but those with magic can see." Jamie assured Hermione." And not to worry, we promise we won't use any magic this time, unless we have no choice." Harry quickly added, as Hermione looked unconvinced." I guess, as long as you promised." Hermione said, as she partially accepted it.
As the talk about using magic in the event was over, Hermione changed the subject." Another thing you two need to worry about, is the time trials, since you need to get through the course, within twenty minutes, and not only that, they will only let the top ten fastest times, in the contest." Hermione reminded the twins." We know, but that reminds me, Harry, we need to buy new boards, since our old boards are specialized more for agility, then speed." Jamie reminded Harry, and he nodded." Sounds like a plan, and we can trade the old boards for newer ones at the shop here, but we should remove the charms before we do." Harry suggested, and they started their way back to the hotel.
Back at Resort, the twins, with the uncharmed snowboards, left for the small winter sports equipment store, with Hermione, and met the owner at the counter." What can I do for you three?" The owner kindly asked." We would like to trade these, for snowboards with equal agility and speed please." Both Harry and Jamie said, as they placed the boards on the counter." Oh my, you are the Potter twins, the one who almost won last year." The man said excitedly." We are, and we are going to try out this year, but our event we are trying needs both speed and agility to participate." The twins informed the store owner." Hmm, lets see what you got, and I will show you my selections." The owner said, as he examined the twin's boards, looking for any scratches or dents." Hmm, you kept the boards in top condition, almost like you never used them." The owner said, sounding surprised." We always take care of our stuff." The twin informed the owner, but what they didn't say, that the boards use to have unbreakable charms, which was the reason they still look new." I can give you a thirty percent discount, since they are a year old, and add another ten percent discount for your participation the contest." The owner informed, and the twins accepted it, since they didn't care about the price.
Once the old snowboards were put away, the owner took the three friends behind the store, where they were surprised at the selections for snowboards." Hmm, since you want boards that specialize in speed and agility, so racing boards won't be suited for your needs." The owner said, as they pass racks of slim snowboards." Ah here we are, these boards are just what you are looking for." The owner informed, as they stopped before a large number of snowboards, that was a bit wider the ones they had passed." These are slim enough for speed, but will give you enough stability and flexibility for advance stunts in a race." The owner proudly informed, as the twins looked the boards over." Yes, they are slimmer then our old boards and I like your selections." Jamie said, as she took out a sky blue snowboard, while Harry took out a black one, with imprint of a white bird on the bottom." We'll take these, and put them one our charge card please." Harry said, as he took out a MasterCard, Tamara gave him to spend on anything he and Jamie wanted." Will do, lets go back to the front, and I'll charge you for the boards." The owner informed, and led the three friends back in the store.
After buying a number of other supplies for their new snowboards, the twins, and Hermione, were back in the lobby resting." Those boards cost a lot of money, are you sure your uncle wouldn't mind you spending that much?" Hermione worriedly asked, since even with the discounts, the two boards were still expensive." Uncle Tamara is pretty rich Hermione, and what we spent won't even put a dent in our account." Jamie assured Hermione, just as Hermione's parents step by." Hey guys, we are heading to Fort William, for some supplies, do you want to come with us." Mrs. Granger asked, as the parents came up to the children." No thanks, we need to try out our new boards." The twins said, as they grinned." You two always astound me, when you can just talk at the same time." Mrs. Granger laughed as she shook her head. "I want to come, since I want to buy some books to read." Hermione said to her parents, and then turned to the twins." See you two later, and maybe can you help me learn of some of the tricks for snowboarding. "Hermione hopefully asked. " We'll do, but to warn you, it takes practice, and dedication, so lets start tomorrow, and continue on till the time trials in a couple days." The twins suggested, and Hermione agreed, as left with her parents.
