Chapter 9
In The Jungle
"Mondays...I hate Mondays...worst day ever of the week!" I just tripped down the stairs from the dormitory, I'm not a very good morning person, especially a Monday morning person.
"Hey little one, you ready for breakfast?" Fred came over and swung his arm around my shoulders.
"Hey, just because I'm 5'3" now, doesn't mean I won't grow...I'm only ten you know! You said something about breakfast, right?" Fred just laughed and we both walked over to George who was holding the door way open, joing the two of us when we walked out.
We sat down at the Gryffindor table, filling our plates with bacon, eggs, and eclairs. Since we were out in simi-public, we could't talk about pranking, but we did talk about Quidditch, they told me they both played for the team. They then asked if I played, I just laughed, I'm so clumsy on a broom.
"We have flying lessons with SLYTHERIN!?!?!" I overherd from the conversation of Harry and Ron a few seats down. They started ranting about some kid named Malfoy, and his being an evil git or something. I tuned them out after hearing about flying lessons.
"Oh man, this is going to suck! I stink at flying! Will you two teach me to fly?"
"Sure Adonia" "We'll teach you!" I hate it when twins finish each others sentences, but I won't tell them that, for I'm sure they will keep doing it, just to annoy me.
I got up, after saying goodbye to my twins, to go check out the flyer by the door to find out when the flying lessons would take place. Thursday...humm...that would give me four days to learn how to fly, or at least keep my balence. It's kinda sad that I have to take lessons before lessons on how to fly.
"Oh, cheer up Kitty Cat, it won't be so bad. George and I have been flying for forever, you'll know how to fly like a pro in no time." Once again, he swung his arm around me...I think he knows it annoys me.
"Fred, what's with the nick names? At least little one made since. My name is Adonia...that has nothing to do with cats. You are strange, is it a red head thing?" I grinned at him to let him know that I was kidding.
"I know your name, but we decided last night that your like a cat in your curiosity, so there!" He ate his last bit of bacon then stood with George, he left with out saying goodbye, just a little wave, I guess that was a lot of bacon he just shoved in.
"Bye Kitty, we're off to potions. We'll see you tonight."
"Bye George, go to potions...have fun with Snape." I gatherd my bag, shoved the last bit of my eclair into my mouth and went to class.
That Night
"Candy...we should invent a whole line of candy to get students out of class!" George and Fred started going off on their line of candy. What they were coming up with sounded amazing, but not practical.
"Hey guys...the candy idea sounds good and all...maybe for a long term project, but we need something we can do now." That got their attention, we would discuss all sorts of candy later on, but first we needed a good prank to pull.
"Dungbombs?" "No that can come later...um...no start fireworks?" "That's a good one for potions class...what about..." They were going back and forth, I was just listening and thinking about trees. I really like trees. And then it hit me, trees, or plants really.
"Jungle!"
"What?" It's un-nerving when they speak at the same time.
"We make the halls a jungle....there are some really cool creepy magic vines in the forest...and some of the plants in the Herbology shed should grow over night. If we can get the plants later on tonight, when everyone is asleep, and tomorrow, we can get this done for Wednesday."
"That sounds fun, but it will be a long night scattering plants all over the castle to make your jungle." Fred nodded along with George's statment.
"I'll have some help for us, you'll see. Now back to the candy idea, what about something that makes you throwup?" With that we spent the rest of the night waiting for everyone to go to bed, to gather the plants we would need.
Finally after an hour of huddling together in the common room plotting our yummy, funny candy, the last straggling Gryffindor, made her way up to her room. As soon as her door shut, I jumped up and ran to the portal.
"Hold up Kitty."
"Eek!" George, this time, grabbed my shoulder before I could get out.
"Before you go running out and get caught, we have someting to show you." Fred went over to his bag and pulled out an old peice of parchment.
"That looks interesting. What is it?" George and I crowded around the parchment.
"This my dear Kitty, is a most wonderful map of Hogwarts. And, before you ask, we found it when when we were first years like you. We got in trouble for something, and happened to find this map in a file marked dangerous."
They showed me how it worked, what to say to have the map appear and disappear. "That is so cool!"
With the map, the twins and I made it to the greenhouses with no problem. We had a couple of bags full of seeds that would make out junlge a blast of fun.
Over the next day, Fred and George looked up good spells to quicken the growth factor of plants, we already had a good spell to make the plants get bigger in size, we just needed to speed up the time between seed and plant.
While they were studying in the library, I was in the forest looking for fun plants with Firenze. He thought turning the castle into a jungle/ forest was a good idea, he even knew more plants that I could use, not harmful, but with great effects to who ever touches the plant. Like turning the skin of who ever touches it green, purple, or red, depending on the berries, or breaking out in big red bumps that itch, but not badly.
I cannot wait till tonight...making a jungle and suprising the twins. See, they may have the map, but I have Peeves to help. So far as I know, I'm the only student that has had actual conversations with him and become friends.
This will be a fun day before flying lessons with Slytherin, should be fun!
