Okie dokie, I'm back and blaring!

Thanks to:Adora81, rowellylovesgryffindor, Oogie and ForeverTeamEdward13 for reviewing!

And I get that this chapter is just an ickle bit short… but oh well! And this chapter is probably set in… April? Yeah, probably 'bout half way through April.

And, to honest, I was kinda in two minds about part of this chapter… but if I tell you now, it might ruin it, so I'll tell you at the end.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, just Mia

Chapter 16: Feet and Fists

"Uh! Is that a challenge?"

"Challenges are meant to be hard."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Means you got short legs."

"I do not have short legs!" Mia shrieked, throwing a cushion at Fred. Her, George, Angelina and Fred were sitting in the common room during their free period. George and Angelina just watched the argument with amusement.

"And I bet I'm faster then you, as well!" Mia continued, pointing at Fred.

"You couldn't be faster then me!" Fred replied.

"Why not?"

"Quidditch," he replied, simply. Mia just looked at him blankly for a second.

"What's Quidditch got to do with running?" she asked.

"Gotta have strong legs to play Quidditch," George said.

"You sit on a broom!" Mia told him.

"And how do you reckon we keep the broom up in the sky whilst flying around and hitting Bludgers around?" Fred asked, "Strong legs muscles," he answered his own question. Mia let out a short laugh.

"You? Strong leg muscles? You? You have got to kidding me," she replied, crossing her arms.

"Alright then, why don't we settle this?" Fred asked, standing up, "once and for all?"

"You're on." Mia stood up as well, "and you're coming too, Mr Gotta-Have-Strong-Leg-Muscles!" she said, turning to George, then she looked at Angelina, "and, Angie, we need a ref."

They ended up standing under a tree by the lake, with Mia and Fred standing next to each other. Mia quickly plaited her hair. "Right… George, go stand somewhere so you're not in the way… so if we run about a hundred metres… Angie, go stand over there… no! Too far, come closer… stop! Right there! Perfect!" Mia said. A hundred metres away, Angelina rolled her eyes. They all stood there for a minute.

"Well say go!" Mia yelled.

"Oh… um… go!" Mia and Fred took off running. They skidded to a stop just past Angelina, who had covered her head slightly as Fred passed within a centimetre of her. "So who won?" Mia asked.

"Um… Fred…"

"WOO! Told ya I was faster."

"Best two outta three!" Mia yelled.

"Fine. I'll only beat you again." They stood by the tree again. Angelina opened her mouth to say 'go', when Mia yelled out, "WAIT!"

"What?" Fred asked, irritated. Mia bent down and undid the laces on her five inch boots, slipping them off and throwing them over to where George was standing. "Right, ready!"

"Go!" Angelina shouted. Again, Mia and Fred shot off, stopping at Angelina again.

"Mia won," she said.

"BOOYAH!" Mia yelled, punching the air.

"I demand a re-match!" Fred yelled.

"Duh, its best two outta three!" for the final time, they stood together by the tree, and Angelina called out 'go'. They shot off again, stopping by Angelina. Mia almost fell over. She hit Fred around the head when he laughed and Angelina told them who won.

"Fred-"

"HA!" he yelled. "See, Quidditch equals amazing leg muscles which equals being faster then you!" he gloated.

"Alright, alright!" she stormed off and picked up her shoes. "He blatantly cheated," she muttered to George.

"Oh, yeah, blatantly," he replied, holding back a laugh.

"Can we go now? I'm bored and we have Potions in ten minutes," Angelina said.

"Alright, I only wanted to prove I was faster then Mia." Fred shrugged. Mia stuck her tongue out at him.

As they were walking back to the castle, they saw a group of Slytherins coming towards them. "You know, before I came here, I used to like the colour green… now I absolutely hate it," Mia said.

"Understandable," George said, slinging his arm around her shoulders. As they passed the group of Slytherins, one of the girls shrieked with laughter. Mia, George, Angelina and Fred looked back at them.

"Nice jeans!" the girl said, whom Mia recognised was in her Potions lesson. Mia looked down at her skinny, ripped jeans. To be honest, half the rips probably hadn't bee there when she'd first brought them.

"Nice hair!" she retorted. The girl's hand instantly went to her short, black, slightly greasy hair.

"Did you just insult me?" great, a Slytherin with an anger problem.

"Yep," Mia replied. Both groups had stopped moving by now.

"And what do you think gives you the right to insult me?" the girl asked. Mia slid out from under George's arm and took a step towards her.

"What gives you the right to insult me?" she asked. One of the other Slytherins gave a cough that sounded like 'mudblood'. Mia looked at him and placed her hands on her hips, raising her eyebrows and popping her hip out.

"Excuse me?" she said. Fred and George slowly came up behind her.

"Um… guys…" Angelina said behind them. Nobody paid any attention to her.

"Oh, I'm sure you heard me," he said, standing next to the girl.

"Guys…" Angelina said. Again, no one paid her any attention. Mia just looked at the boy, and he took this as an opportunity to say it again. As if talking to a three year old, he went "Mudbl-" he never got a chance to finish the word. George's fist came smashing into his face.

"Damn! I wanted to do that!" Mia complained quietly.

"Guys!" Angelina whispered as a shadow fell over her. Mia and the twins turned to see Snape standing behind them.

"Mr Weasley…" he said in a cold voice, "I believe it is against the rules to attack another student…come with me," he turned and walked back towards the castle. Behind them, the Slytherins started to snigger.

George glanced at Fred, who grimaced, before slowly following Snape.

"We have him next, as well! He'll be in a really bad mood," Angelina complained.

"Unlucky," Mia replied.

"What? You have him to!"

"Nope. I'm finding out how this ends." Mia and Fred started back for the castle, just as George slipped through the double doors in front of them. Not wanting to be left alone with the Slytherins, Angelina quickly followed them.

They parted at the dungeons (with Angelina failing to convince Mia not to skive off) and Mia and Fred trailed George and Snape up to McGonagall's office. They waited outside for about ten minutes, before ducking behind a suit of armour as Snape came out. George followed seconds later, scowling.

"What happened?" Mia asked, making George jump as she popped up from behind the armour.

"Got a big lecture on how it's wrong to attack other students, even if they do insult someone…"

"And?" Fred asked, sensing there was something more.

"I'm missing the next Hogsmeade trip," George said, sullenly.

"What?" Mia almost yelled, "But that's in two days!"

"I know…"

"Damn!" Mia said, looking at him sympathetically.

Ok, so the scene I was in two minds about was the scene with the Slytherins… but then today my mate, who's actually re-reading the entire Harry potter series, brought Chamber of Secrets in and I was flicking through it in Maths, and I came across the scene where Malfoy calls Hermione a Mudblood. In that bit, Fred and George go to attack him. So I thought: if they go to attack Malfoy cuz he insulted Hermione, who they'd only known for just over year at that point, what would they do if someone insulted Mia in the same way? Somebody they've known for six years, and someone who George fancies? So I used it. Hope its ok…

So… please review!
