This is getting really ugly.


Faye and Charlie were late for breakfast due to some issues in the bathroom, Charlie was irritated because she had no food. "Damn people! We need to have timers in the bathroom or something. An hour in the bathroom is not allowed anymore." telling Faye, Faye had to agree, "Now we missed breakfast and we have to hop all the way to Defense of Dark Arts for today?" looking at the newsletter, "I wonder what happened to Trelawny?" Faye asked her, Charlie was puzzled by this, "You mean there's no Divanition?" asking her, "Well yeah! That's why whe're going to Professor Starks class instead." grabbing her book bag. "Yes! Ha ha! That wench is gone!" cheering in excitement, Faye slapper her, "That's not nice. What if there was a death in the family!" sympathetically telling Charlie, which caused her to stop, "Oh yeah, I suppose so." shrugging her shoulders, "Lets go outside for a while, we have ten minutes to kill." changing the subject.

Charlie laid on the grass staring up at the blue sky, while Faye sat down looking at the lake. Humming to Jimmy Hendrix and doing an air guitar she was lost in the moment. Faye watched her and rolled her eyes, "You and your crazy music." she commented to her, Charlie just gave a smile and continued. "Wait a minute something's wrong here! The key won't unlock this door," she sang to her," Something's going on here, I have a bad, bad feeling, that my baby, don't live here no more." she sang out louder now on her knees, pretending to be Jimmy Hendrix with the guitar, "It's alright I sang on my guitar now. Watch out now!" she mimicked his voice and sang out the tunes. Faye rolled her eyes and threw a book at her, "Ow, that was uncalled for." feeling bummed out, "I was on a row here!" she told her.

"Yeah, you will be on a row if you don't explain to me about this box!" said someone from behind, she turned around with the sun gleaming at her eyes, she was unable to see who it was, but had a pretty good idea who's voice it was. "Hello, hello, hello!" she said in a deep voice, "What is this!" he acidly retorded, now standing up she had the right idea, "Well hello to you too Cedric." she said in a smooth tone.

"What is this?" he thrusted the box to her chest, "This is called a box! Did you forget what it is called?" answering him, "This is a box, this is tissue, this is a book! I know what they are." sarcastically telling her, "Well how hard can it be?" Charlie joked around.

"This book is what is my concern," telling her, as she took out the book with a puzzled look in her face, "A 'Book of Bugs' what's wrong with the book? It's just a book." telling him as she flipped through the pages. Faye now stood up to see what the commotion was about. "Hey Faye, it's a 'Book of Bugs' it's kinda interesting." Cedric wasn't to pleased about this, "Drop the act! I know it was you!" he told her. "What act?" asking in defensive tone, "I know how you like to play around and say that you didn't cause anything." reminding her of her fake innocence.

"I'm sorry, but start from the beginning. You lost me at the 'drop the act' part."

"Did you or did you not give this book to Ann and wrote my name on here saying," grabbing the book and opening it, " 'I hope you'll enjoy this.' Cedric making her think that I gave her this book? Because she's deathly afraid of bugs and she was crying." he told her.

"Uh- What!" she smiled at what he told her.

"I know you did this!" he told her.

"Wait let me get this straight, someone send her this book. Putting your name on there to make it seem like they're framing you and she would get mad at you? Is that right?"

"Yes! I know you did this! I know you're trying to get me back!"

Charlie paused for a moment trying to think, she looked at Faye who was doing the same. "You've got to be kidding me! You think I did it!" now that she finally understood, "I know you did it because you're the only one who would do something like this. Are you jealous-" he was cut short, "Oh man! I would of done better than that," she told Faye, forgetting that Cedric was there. With a smile in her face she said, "I could of done something worse than that, that's minor." telling Faye, but Faye was looking at Cedric who was mad. "Why are you blaming her?" Faye fired back, "Because she's the only one who would do something like that. I know her pranks." he told Faye, Charlie was still in the state of oblivion. "Cedric, look at her. She doesn't even know what you're talking about. Even she didn't understand it when you explained it to her." defening her, "Charlie always acts as if she didn't do it. I know her to do a scene so well. She'll pretend that it never happened." reminding her.

Now Charlie said something, "You think that I did it?" Cedric rubbed his face in frustration, "Did I not make myself clear?" in a stern tone, "Cedric, get a grip. You think that I would waste my money on her for a prank? No." giving him a hard look, "Besides, it's not even a good prank-" Cedric fired back, "It was! Because she was crying and she didn't want to get my feeling hurt! She thinks I gave it to her and I just hurted her feelings."

"Oh, so you like her? I see."

"No I don't!"

"Then why are you concerned if she likes you or not?"

"I'm not concerned about that- look, it wasn't nice at all. It's making me look bad."

"Making you look bad? Now we have an image to keep up."

"Damn it Charlie, stop being a wise ass."

"I'll stop if you stop making acusations about me."

"Why? Cause you know you did it?"

"No I didn't do it! How many other ways do you want me to say it? Cause saying it in English is not working."

"Tell me the damn truth Charlie!"

"I said, I didn't do it! (telling him in a retarded tone) Did you understand that?"

Faye busted out into laughter, Cedric and Charlie's heads turned towards her, both giving her a death glare. Faye stopped and cleared her throat. "Fine, you just wait 'till I tell Professor McGongall." threatening her making her eyes squint and make fist, "Don't you dare! You have no proof." telling him a low and deadly voice, "Try me Charlie! You just wait. You'll be in detention and I'm going to watch you and make sure you do some real dirty work." Charlie had never heard him speak like this or even the thought of him saying something like this, "Who the hell are you? You have no authority whatsoever over me. I don't give a rats ass if you're a Head boy." thrusting back the box at him, he dropped it on the ground,
"Try me!" was the last thing he said and walked away.


Professor Starks had now started class differently for today, boys and girls lined up in separate rows. "Today," he started to explain, "I'm going to teach you a simple but affective way of controlling someone. This one is not permanent not like the three deadly curses, this one is more subtle; it's just temporary. You could say about fifteen to twenty seconds. The advantage of this is that you can break free from the spell at any time, all you need if physical and mental strength." the class looked awfully excited, "I figured we could make this into a competition, boys versus girls!" telling the class, as they cheered. "The winning side gets extra credit and five points each for person who manages to break free." the girls were now hissing and making them intimidated, the boys did the same, "If one person gives in on the command, they must go to the back, and the winner continues on. The goal is to try and resist the spell. However, there is a catch," he yelled out proudly," making them all stop and look, "No dancing or any type of clothing coming off! Nothing that leads to any vulgar or crude actions" he told them, making a few people bummed and boo. "Okay, everyone follow my lead and say what I say." grabbing his wand, "Norperata." he flicked and swished to the left, everyone followed him, "Once you say it, yell out the command. If the person is not doing it then, the opposing person can yell out they're own command. We will see who wins." Charlie lazily followed and rolled her eyes, she was not in the mood to do it. Nor was she worried about it, but everyone was.

"Now, let's get started!" he told them after 10 minutes of practice.The first pair went up, in the duel stance they separated, the class was silent. Waiting for the first attack, a quick turn and a quick yell, the girl said, "Act like monkey!" and to her surprise he was acting like a monkey. Causing the whole class to burst in to laughter, "Next!" the teacher yelled. The boy snapped out of it and looked shocked, "Did I just loose?" asking a friend, who was laughing and pointing at him. It turned into a freak show and a circus, everyone was having too much fun, Charlie didn't look amused. The boys were having the advantage, they were able to break free from the spell, a few girls were able to, but not as good. Charlie realized that she was going to go against Matt, who was in a row, making the girls rather mad. Taking out five girls in a row.

Matt was pumped and Charlie was rather calm, she didn't look phased by the idea of him controlling her. Standing in duel position, she gave a short bow and a dull look at him, while he gave her a smile. Matt walked smoothly to his postion, while Charlie slowly walked. With a quick turn, he yelled out, "Norparata!" with a quick move to the left, she dodged it with that same dull look in her face. Making him rather shocked, "Hey, that's not allowed!" he said, but Professor Stark said other wise, "Well, I did say to do anything to resist from falling under the spell so it's legal." he told him. Making Charlie give a small smile and a devilish look, he looked at her and gave a gulp. Faster then he could say wait, she attacked, "Norparta!" she yelled, "Drop to the floor." commanding him. And with in a second, he went down to the floor. The girls side suddenly cheered and clapped for her, Charlie just nodded and shrugged her shoulders. The boys side looked concerned and irritated, but they felt they had a savior.

"Nice job Charlie! Now who's next?" Professor Stark asked and speak of the devil he came up. "Cedric, let's see what you got." Professor now looked excited, but Charlie just gave a smile of irriation. With her hands on her hips she gave a small laugh while looking down, "Oh this is going to be fun." she told herself out loud. The boys were now cheering louder than ever, Cedric had the familiar face when he was going to play quidditch, the competitive look. Standing in their duel positions, he suddenly said, "Just a minute," taking of his robe, making the boys even more pumped. Charlie shook her head and laughed, taking off her robe too, only she started to roll up he sleeves. Cedric looked at her and shook his head, he copied her. The girls all were stunned at her, "Go Charlie! Get him!" a girl yelled. Both sides were now cheering loudly and pumped.

Now in their postions, they looked at each other and bowed, there was tension in every movement they made when they were close. The class had now gone silent, only Cedric and Charlie could be heard, "I hate you." she told him, "I don't care if you do." he replied. Now that they separated they still had there backs turned. They stood still for a minute, Charlie had her eyes closed, while Cedric breathed in and out. Suddenly, Cedric quickly turned around, "Norparata!" he pointed his wand and yelled, but he saw that Charlie still had her back turned to him. She wasn't moving a single muscle, he figured maybe she was under the spell, "Tell me the truth!" he said, but she didn't say anything, nor did she move. "Tell me the truth!" he yelled, but she stood still. What he didn't realize was that she was fighting it, grunting in pain, she turned around quickly, "Norparata!" yelling it at him, he wasn't able to dodge that, "Shut your damn mouth," she told him, but he was fighting it too. "Bite me bambie! I won't tell you the truth." she yelled at him, suddenly he was charging straight for her with his mouth open, 'Oh shit! He's really going to bite me.' she thought to herself. The whole class watched in excitement and in a worry. Cedric suddenly stopped halfway, holding himself down while grunting in pain.

"Norparata!" he pointed the wand at her, she wasn't able to dodge this one, "I'm going to embarrass you so badly. Dance!" he yelled at her. Charlie tried to fight it, making her fall to her knees, "Hell no." she told him, but suddenly she felt her body move. Shaking her hips in slow movement, she was now moving her whole body. Cedric watched her, she was dancing in a way he had never seen her dance before. The class was in shock, they were unable to say anything. Charlie was now making an ass out of herself with her dancing and the way she was dancing wasn't very appropriate. Pointing out her wand she yelled, "Norparata!" Cedric tried to block it but was unsuccessful, "If I'm going down, you're going down with me! Do the tango!" she yelled at him. Then in instant, he grabbed her by the hips and her arm and started dancing, but there still of dancing was a little weird. It came across of ballroom dancing and a fight, Charlie following his step but pushing him away. Cedric was just grunting in pain, trying to let go of her. "Let go of me!" pushing him away, "You let go!" he told her, both of them were now sweating and stopping every now and then, as if they forget their movements.

The class just watched in silence and in wonder, they have never seen something like this. The Professor too, was at lost. What do you say or do in a situation like this? It was an awkard dance that even Cedric and Charlie couldn't understand. "Let go!" she yelled, he did exactly what she said but still holding on to her hand, grunting and holding his stomach. Charlie's head was banging, clutching her head with her free hand, she was suddenl twirled quickly. Cedric lost control of himself and held her, holding her in his arms, she swayed her hips, "Stop it!" he yelled at her, "On the count of three, we both push away." telling him as she was getting rubbing on him, while his arm was climbing up her hip, "Eew, this is so gross. Stop it!" she yelled at him, "I can't! It's like me telling you to stop rubbing on me." telling her.

Quickly and desperately she said "One, two, three!" in an instant Charlie feel forward and Cedric fell backwards. The spell had worn off while the rest of the class stood there stunned, then they busted out into cheers and claps, louder than ever before. Charlie didn't find this all amusing, "I will never Tango with you." pointing at Cedric, but Cedric was still on the ground trying to think of what had happened, "Don't worry, I don't plan to any time soon." he sarcastically replied.


Until next time.
