The Cave, Chapter 5
Summer 1992
"Oi! Georgie! Look at Malfoy." Fred said to his twin as the walked into Flurish and Blotts. The small bookstore was crowded with people, it wasn't unusual for the store to be crowded with students and their parents buying books for the new semester, but today the author Gilderoy Lockheart was there signing his books. Seeing as the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher assigned all of his books, she must be a fan of his. Mum sure was, even if she knew how to do something by heart she would still consult his books. When the twins were seven they had tried to see what the all the fuss was about with the books, but some how instead of banishing a troll from their house they had managed to completely removed their older brother's nose. It was quite fun really, but their mother had been furious and Percy still wasn't over it.
"Ha! Rosie looks like she piled on extra make-up today, she doesn't usually wear that much, seems a bit odd for just going to buy books." George replied, looking up to see Rosaline Malfoy; another fourth year student but in their rival house, Slytherin. She was slightly above average height with curly dark brown hair instead of the blond hair that the rest of the family had. Today on top of her usual turned up nose and look of constant constipation, she was wearing more make up than the Weird Sisters wear at a show. She had on an unnatural color of pink on her lips and blue eye shadow which prematurely aged her.
As she stood behind the bookshelf anxiously waiting for Lockheart to arrive, she slightly pulled down her shirt to show off more of her hardly existent chest that some how grew into a singular watermelon in the short months of the holiday.
Rather than wear the normal school uniform, she inverted it with whites and pinks and a neck-scarf. She looked like one of the puddles that Muggles dress up for dog shows, and then was attacked by make up brushes was the only way Fred could describe her new look nicely.
"Professor Lockheart?" I said raising my hand. It was the beginning of class and he hadn't noticed me yet. During all of the classes I made sure that he noticed me. I also made sure to always put on make up and do my hair.
"Yes, Roswell?" He said
"It's Rosaline." I said.
"Oh, my bad, sorry. Yes Rosalind?" He said smiling that million watt smile.
"It's Rosaline, sir."
"Of course it is. What's in a name anyways?" He said dismissing the whole ordeal. Your question?"
"Oh. Um, how do you identify a werewolf?"
"Oh, at a full moon, a person turns into a wolf." He said after stopping to think for a few seconds.
"But how do you tell them apart from a regular wolf?" I asked.
"They have a bushier tail than regular wolves do."
"Werewolves don't have a tail, sir." Fred Weasley cut into our conversation. Of course he was trying to show up Professor Lockheart. He must have been having a bad day is all.
"Nice face." Fred Weasley said before I could turn around.
I bet you were expecting a whole chapter? Yeah, I kinda thought it would be too. Oh wait, no I didn't! :P
Happy April Fools!
