"If I went to Hogwarts, I would definitely be in Gryffindor"
"...what?"
"Gryffindor. I would be in Gryffindor"
"I heard what you said kook" Fin rolled her eyes "It was just a completely random thing to say out of the blue"
"Yeah, that was kind of out of nowhere" Lo agreed.
All of the groms were sitting outside of the beach house, scattered lazily over the array of tatty old sofa's, still in their surf gear from their sesh about an hour ago. Reef was hogging nearly an entire sofa to himself to stretch out on, leaving just enough Room for Emma to squeeze I at the end. Fin and Johnny sat next to each other on the other sofa and Broseph was sitting on the wooden floor of the deck waxing his surboard. Lo was sitting on the floor next to him, painting her nails. It was late and they were all kind of tired, but nobody wanted to go to bed. They'd been sitting in relative silence for a while now, only the sound of the distant ocean waves disturbing the silence.
Until Reef got bored that is.
"Well It's not like you guys are making any effort to have any interesting conversations or anything, are you?" Reef snapped.
"And your idea of an interesting conversation is what house you'd be in if you went to wizarding school?"
"...you are such a slytherin sometimes Fin"
Johnny and Emma let out loud "Ooooh!"
"Burn!" Emma gasped, like Fin had just received a major insult.
"Harsh" Johnny nodded in agreement.
Fin looked annoyed "Ugh, no way am I in slytherin. I'm so in Grffindo-"
"You cant be in Gryffindor, I totally called it first" Reef said smugly.
"You cant call Gryffindo-"
"Totally just did"
"Well, whatever, I wouldn't want to be in Gyriffindor if your kook-butt is...I'll be Ravenclaw" Fin huffed, crossing her arms.
"Ha, as if they'd let a Blonde in Ravenclaw. They only take the smart kids" Laughed Reef.
"One more dumb blonde joke and I'll be Ravenclaw'in your ass!"
"See? That's the type of violent threat I would expect from a true Slytherin" Reef smirked, dodging a pillow Fin threw his way.
"I think i'd be in Gryffindor...or maybe Hufflepuff?" Emma wondered out loud.
"Definitely Gryffindor" Reef said.
"Aaaw really?" Emma smiled "Is it because you think I'm brave and kind-hearted and truly care for my frien-"
"Nah, It's because your ginger. Obviously a long lost weasley sister" Reef stated simply, putting his hands behind his head.
"Oh...thanks" Emma deadpanned, Looking anything but thankful.
"But of course you do have those qualities too!" Johnny quickly saved, earning him a smile from Emma.
"Haha, thanks Johnny. I know you'd definitely be in Ravenclaw, your so smart and responsible!"
Johnny looked pleased with himself.
"Oh, do me, do me!" Broseph smiled eagerly "what am I?"
"Gryffindor, with me bro!" Reef went to highfive his friend.
"All right!"
"Hold on, I dunno, I think Broseph's more of a Hufflepuff kinda guy" Johnny butted in.
Emma nodded "Yeah, he's friendly and the most chill out of all the houses. I think Gryffindor would be too competetive for him, what with the sltherin rivalry"
"I agre with Emma and Johnny, Brosephs totally in hufflepuff" Fin pitched in.
"...cool! I'm a hufflepuff!" Broseph cheered "...soo what exactly is a Hufflepuff? Some kind of animal?"
Everyone looked at him. There was an awkward silence.
"...so i'ts not an animal?"
"are you joking!" Johnny looked mortified.
"You seriously don't even know what were talking about?" Emma put her hands over her mouth in pure shock.
"You mean you havn't read the books?" Fin asked in amazement. "I thought everyone had read the books..."
"Dude, even I've seen the movies!" Reef scoffed.
"No.." Broseph looked completely lost "...was I meant too?"
Johnny and Emma looked absolutely offended. These two were definitely the biggest fans out of all the groms. Johnny flopped back down on the sofa in disbelief "I just..cant even comprehend...you haven't even...not even one movie..."
"Sorry, bro. You know I don't read and it's not like Kahuna shows anything but surf movies at his theatre. Gimme a break!"
"But Harry potter is , like, one of the biggest pop-culture phenomenons of our time! How can you not have heard of it!" Emma turned to Lo, who had been quiet all this time, still painting her nails. "Lo, tell him how crazy he is for not knowing about Harry Potter!"
Lo raised her head absent-mindedly "Huh? Not knowing what? Didn't hear you"
"Harry potter"
Lo pulled a face "Ugh, I never liked those movies" she said casually, going back to her nails.
You could have heard a pin drop. There were a few tense seconds of silence before-
"WHAT!"
Emma, Johnny, Reef and Fin all screamed simultaneously, causing Lo to yelp in surprise and drop her nail polish all over the floor.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE HARRY POTTER!"
"EVERYONE LIKES HARRY POTTER!"
"SURELY I MISHEARD YOU! YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!"
"ITS BAD ENOUGH BROSEOH HASNT HEARD OF THE BOOKOR THE MOVIES, BUT TO ACTUALLY NOT LIKE THEM...ITS JUST...UGH!"
Lo ran and hid behind Broseph as she got screamed at, her friends looking murderous.
"Ty took me to see the first movie when I was younger and I just didn't like it, okay!" she yelled back defensivly, still holding onto Broseph for protection. "I'm just not into that magic, fantasy, wizardy kind of thing!"
"and you think that's my scene too?" Fin asked, hands on hips "I hate fantsy books too, but Hary Potters just...differant! I dont know, but it is!"
"Yeah!" Reef threw his hands up in the air "It takes a very special book to make me want to read and Harry Potter did it!"
"Oh please!" Lo snapped "He's just some snotty little British wizard boy with some kind of stupid deformity-"
"It's a scar!"
"-whatever! Point is, he's nothing special!"
There was another tense silence after her outburst. Reef was the first to speak.
"I think I know what you are now Lo..." he started softly.
Lo raised an eyebrow at him and the others listened closely.
"If you hate Harry Potter so much...you obviously must be..." he paused dramatically before pointing an accusing finger right at Lo "A DEATHEATER!"
"What!" Lo cried.
But she didn't have time to say anything else before she was tackled to the ground By Fin and Emma, Johnny and Reef standing over her. "What the hell are you guys doing!" she shrieked as they pinned her down to the floor, Emma sitting across her to keep her down and Fin holding her arms and Johnny her legs so she couldn't kick or struggle.
"That's good, make sure to hold her down tight so she doesn't have the chance to press her dark mark! We don't want voldemort getting involved in this!" Reef directed .
"Oh my god, you guys are the biggest losers!" Lo yelled angrily.
"I don't know how we didn't see it before" Fin said as she struggled to hold down Lo's flailing arms "shes greedy, shes vain, she does anything to Win and she comes from a rich family of high standing ...she's so obviously a Slytherin!"
"Why am I even friends with you dorks!"
"and thats why, as brave Gryffindor's and noble Ravenclaw's, we must vanquish this evil doer!" Johnny exclaimed dramatically.
"Now, Emma!" Reef started, standing over Lo with an evil smile on his face. "You must perform the deadly...Cruciatis curse!"
"CRUCIATIS!" Emma yelled towards the sky, really getting into it, before swooping down onto Lo.
Lo screamed and thrashed around under Emma's weight as the torture was being inflicted. Her shrieks caused a flock of seagulls in a nearby tree fly off in fright, it was unbearable!
"STOP TICKLING ME!" Lo managed to gasp out in short breaths as Emma's fingers jabbed and poked at her stomach and sides. "BROSEPH! BROSEPH, HELP ME!" she yelled out as she half laughed, half screamed, sounding quite deranged.
Broseph backed off a few steps "Sorry, girl, but this whole Harry Potter thing is freaking me out...makes people go crazy" He said, looking at Reef, Emma, Johnny and Fin laugh maniaclly.
"Oh my god!" The front door slammed open and Kelly stood there in her night clothes "Can you nerds stop playing your little Harry potter game-" she looked down to where Lo was on the floor, with the others on top of her "-or your little gangbanging game, whichever, I dont really care, I want some nice pease and quiet so I can read my book, got it!"
Everyone shut up and Lo's laughter started to die down as she panted for air.
"So...watcha' readin'?" Reef asked curiously as Kelly turned to go back inside the house.
She looked him up and down "Twilight. Why?" she said snottily.
The groms all looked at each other and smiled, evily. There's only one thing worse than a Harry Potter hater, and that was a Twilight lover..
"GET HER!"
