Chapter three

Everyone's weird

"I'm a freak" Lauren, Oliver, Eric, and Percy (who was slowly becoming a friend) were sitting at the Gryffindor table at dinner. On there way down Lauren had explained her entire story to them.

"You're not a freak," Oliver said, "Everyone has something weird about them"

"Are you calling me weird?"

"No! I meant everyone is different in there own special way!"

"But I'm different in four special ways!"

"I…" Oliver began.

"Give up?" Eric asked helpfully, "You are a very special girl Lauren, and it's because of your differences that you are. Oliver's not special at all I mean look at him" Oliver had a particularly large piece of chicken hanging from his mouth and was attempting to stuff more in, "He's just an idiot" Oliver didn't seem to notice.

"You speak wise for only an 11 year old, Eric" Lauren smiled.

"And besides," Percy cut in, "Your differences aren't that weird. One's awesome, one's interesting, one's dangerous, and one's…" he leaned in so only the other three could hear him, "well one's illegal"

"I don't get it," Oliver said.

"Of course you don't," Percy and Oliver it seemed thinkwould never become friends.

"He means," Lauren said, "that I lived with Harry Potter: awesome, my original family is from America but moved here before I was born: interesting, I can blow stuff up when I get over-excited: dangerous, and," she whispered at this point, "I'm the youngest person to ever perform an unforgivable curse: which are illegal to perform"

"Well," Oliver said, "I was saying everyone is weird." Percy groaned.

"If you don't want to listen, Percy, then leave"

"No I'm sure this will be very entertaining" Percy said.

"Well, I'm weird, because I'm "obsessed" with quidditch (in the words of Percy), Eric is weird because he's "wise", Percy is weird because he has a huge family, and his brother Charlie is the best quidditch player I've ever seen, the exact opposite of Perce, here. I find that very strange, but you should really see Charlie play! I went down to the quidditch pitch at practice last week to watch them and it was amazing! He can turn perfectly! If I'm ever captain of a team I'll be sure to get them to practice as much as possible so they can be that good! I've even thought of a good plan! See we would wake up at…" Percy cut him off.

"I'll make a mental note to never let you get on the subject of quidditch, you'll never stop talking! You were saying something about how everyone's weird?"

"Oh! Right!" Oliver said, recovering, "See that girl over there?," he pointed to a girl at the Hufflepuff table who had bright pink hair, "she's one of those people who can change their appearance."

"A Metamorhmagus?" Percy said, slightly annoyed.

"Yeah, one of them! And see him? There's a rumour he's a werewolf! And he's a vampire! And I think he's just plain weird!"

"That's my brother, Bill!" Percy said.

"Well, really, he has a ponytail! Boys aren't supposed to have a ponytail!" Oliver said.

"Well that doesn't mean it's weird!" Percy said.

"I think it's pretty cool," Eric said, winking at Lauren as though to say "this will really get them going"

"It's not cool at all!" Oliver said.

"I agree! A ponytail is not cool. But it isn't weird either." Percy said.

"It's totally cool" Eric said.

"Well it's weirder than it is cool, Eric!" Percy said, "And we aren't talking to you."

Oliver and Percy continued to argue.

"Well," Eric said, "I knew that rising Percy's anger could only lead to greater entertainment"

"Well," Lauren said, "It is entertaining."

"Let's see if I can make them madder…"

Eric turned to Percy and Oliver, "So Percy, what do you think of quidditch?"

"Well," Percy said, "I think it's quite unnecessary."

Eric and Lauren quickly ran from the table as Oliver yelled: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S UNNECESSARY?!"

Out in the hall they burst into laughter.

"That's pretty funny!" Lauren said.

"I know," Eric said, "the weirdo's!"

This made Lauren laugh even more: "Stop making me laugh before I blow something else up!"

Then the two kids went to visit Mickey in the hospital wing before going to bed.

The next day Mickey was out of the hospital and eager to hear everything that happened. She immediately dismissed the fact that it was Lauren's fault she had been in the hospital wing. She understood it was an accident and never spoke of it again, unlike Anna, who when told kept asking Lauren to recount times she had blown stuff up. Oliver and Percy had stopped speaking to each other, much to the entertainment of Lauren, Mickey, Eric, and Anna. Percy was completely ignoring any mention of quidditch and Oliver was ignoring every mention of the whole Weasley family. Every time he saw Charlie, the "amazing" quidditch seeker, in the hallway he immediately became very interested in the floor.

Soon it was December, and time for the second quidditch match of the year. And it seemed like everything was going to go horribly wrong.
