Chapter 8

Researching New Spells and Getting Lost

After hours of searching in the library, I had 20 different books, that looked like they might have the answer to the spells I needed. The Librarien kept asking what I needed, I guess I've been searching for the books for a while. I told her I was just doing some research for some essays I am supposed to write for class. She asked me for the subjects to the essays, I told her I was searching for varius ways to communicate, all about magical creatures, and a special project that was to get ahead on studying for my OWLS.

"Young lady, aren't you a first year? You won't be taking the OWLS till the fifth year, why are you starting now?"

"Never to early to start studing for the big tests, right?" She nodded, then helped me find all the books I needed based on the two subjects I told her. Of the 20 books, I found 5 on my own. Those five were on animal transformation, the special project I was studying. Well, I'm not really studying for my OWLS, I decided to become an animagus. That should help me get out of the castle better, makeing it easier to meet with Firenze.

The librarian left after that, and I sat down to read. I was on the last book of ways to communicate, when the librarain came back and told me the library was closing, as it was time for everyone to go back to their common rooms.

I shut the book and returned it, and the rest of them back to their places, then grabbed my notes and quill. I would look over my notes when I got back the common room, I know I got some really good stuff. I'll have to make a list of everything I'll need for the potions.

Making my way to the common room, I got a bit lost. On my way to getting unlost, I passed the two Weasley twins standing in front of a big picture of fruit in a bowl. One of them played with the pear and a door knob appeared. Being the oh so curious one that I am, I followed them into the newly made door.

Inside was Heaven, well not literally, but there was food! I love food. I forgot all about the twins until one grabbed me from behind.

"Well, what do we have here brother?" came a voice from my left.

"I think, brother, that we have a first year spy. Well, are you a spy?" That came from the one holding me from behind.

"No, I'm not a spy! I got lost coming back from the library, and recognized you two from my house, and thought, that maybe you could help me. Then I saw the door open and found food heaven!" I ramble a bit when I'm nervous sometimes.

"You're the first year that the hat put in Gryffindor and Slytherin, right?" Once again, which ever twin was behind me asked.

"Yeah, that was me...the hat said that because I liked creating mayham and chaos, I would be good somehow for Slytherin, but that because I was also a sweet, and loyal, and noble, I was also a perfect choice for Gryffindor. I think the the hat is on crack. I just like to play pranks and get away with it, which I guess makes me sly and a lover of making chaos. Oh well." About halfway done with my little speech, the one behind me let me go and I was able to turn around and look at them face to face. "My name is Adonia by the way, I know you're the Weasley twins, George and Fred, I'm just not sure who is who, as I have never met you."

"Well Miss Adonia, I, am the great Fred Weasley, this is my brother George." It seems somewhere in my little speech, their whole additude changed, from suspicion to curriosity. When they introduced themselves, they gave a little bow.

"So, you like to play pranks?" They both asked in unison, it was a little creepy.

"Yeah, why? Oh...and how did you guys know this was where the kitchen was? I tried exploring, but didn't get very far in the castle, so I went to the forest...that was fun."

"Well, when we were young first years, we went exploring in much the same way as you, we had...

"What do you mean you went into the forest! We didn't get out there for while, when we went exploring." George interrupted Fred, while he was explaining how they found the kitchen.

"... a little help, and found the kitchen. Wait, she did say something about the forest!"

I told them both about my adventure in the forest the day before, over the eclairs and hot chocolate, the kind house elves brought us to eat. When I finished, they decided to let me be a part of their trouble making group. We talked about different pranks and stuff, then they promised to show me the enitre castle and all it's secrets.

They were a little nervous about letting me prank with them due to the fact that I wa going to be a slytherin half the year, I did bring up that I probably wouldn't make any friends there either. Which, would alow us all to have an insider in the Slytherin house, able to pull even better pranks.

That got rid of any nerves remaining and sealed the bonds of friendship. When we finished our snacks, they led me back to the common room, showing me the differnt secret passageways and short cuts of the castle.

The common room was empty by the time we got back, I guess everyone was getting ready for classes tomorrow, by going to bed early. I said goodnight to the twins, after we made sure to meet again tomorrow night to plan out the first prank of the year.

I went up to my dorm, and got ready for bed, quitely as not to wake up the others in the room. I jumped into bed, only to hear Shadow yowl, as my head landed on him sleeping on my pillow, again.

"I'm sorry kitty cat!" I picked him up, and cuddled him to my chest, as we both fell asleep.
