A/N: Quick upload, thankfully :D This was the first weekend after school began, though, so it may not be as quick next time... -shrug- It all depends on the homework amount.
Our challenge for this chapter was to use Snozzberries (BFG by Roald Dahl). I haven't read the story in maybe 3-4 years and Cammy's never read it, so I sincerely hope that I got all the facts right about it... ~Cakey Potter
Disclaimer: Don't kill us! We've never taken credit for owning the HP world... And we still don't! Also, like stated above, Snozzberries were thought up by the amazing author, Roald Dahl. RIP :'( (He was my favorite author before I read the HP series ~Cakey Potter)
Hermione's POV
I woke up feeling...odd. Not happy, or sad. Just odd.
I sat up, looking around to see who was awake. Rory jumped out of bed, coming over to flop herself onto mine.
"Hermione! Ready for Phase Two?" She exclaimed, looking fit to burst with excitement.
"Um, phase two?" I mumbled, somewhat dreading hearing the answer.
"Yes! You need to re-prank that boy for the win!" Rory said, walking over to wake up Leanne.
I stayed silent, getting dressed and packing my things.
Rory came back over, switching her train of thought, well, more like train of talk, to the new semester.
"I can't wait for the Open House! You simply must meet my parents!" Rory rambled. "My mother will adore you. She's always liked the bookish types."
I rolled my eyes, finishing my packing and grabbing my wand. "My parents will like you, too... They like people who have clean teeth." I said with a wink.
"Point taken..." Rory replied. She grabbed her toothbrush and headed for the bathroom.
Leanne, who finally got up, was packing her things. Reaching under her bed, she pulled out a large bag that was filled with cucumber-like things. The bag was fogged up from the odor the vegetable was creating.
"Ready? Snozzberries are revolting! We can use them for Phase Two! All we need to do is slip some into his food or something..." She explained, pushing me and Rory toward the exit.
"Come on, Mione and Rory! Ernie is waiting for you, we've got a mind to mess with, and somebody needs bad breath!" She exclaimed.
The three of us left the room.
I swear that I'm an open book; They walk faster every time I think of stopping and running the other way.
My mind flashed to Draco, he was probably really confused about me at the moment. UGH! Why does my mind have to keep wandering back to him? DRACO GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
I bit my lower lip, Is there any way we can still be friends and have SFMs? Did Rory and Leanne blow it last night making our friendship beyond repair? Gosh I hate my life...
The three of us arrived in the Great Hall and found that we were the first to arrive besides Ernie and Millicent.
"Ernie!" Rory squealed, urgently waving him to join us.
He had already started to get up to meet us.
Of course, seeing as we had to fake date, he stood next to me before talking.
"So what did you do to Malfoy yesterday? He came back to the room soaking wet from head-to-toe. And he wasn't sleeping too well once he finally got to bed." Ernie said, smiling at the last part.
"We pranked him. Why was he restless, I wonder..." I said, hoping he hadn't been tossing and turning on my part.
I smiled up at him, side-hugging him.
He raised his eyebrows and then remembered, hugging me back. "Well, good prank, than. And he didn't sleep well because of the flobberworms I nicked from Professor Kettleburn's creature pen."
I stared at him blankly, "What're you talking about?" I asked him.
Rory responded, "We decided to give him some bedbugs last night."
"So... Wouldn't the flobingwraibs be phase two?" I asked them, hopeful that this revenge thing would be over with quickly.
"Nope, you weren't there so it doesn't count." Leanne explained.
I sighed, "Why can't we just leave this alone?" I asked them.
"What's the fun in that? Besides, he called you a you-know-what; He deserves punishment for tha-" Ernie didn't finish his sentence because he was suddenly covered in squishy, pink rope-like things.
"EW!" Rory shrieked as I got out from his arms so as not to be covered in them, too.
Draco was now standing next to Ernie.
I gave him a pleading look but he didn't catch it, "Bring it on." Was all he said; Oh the things that such simple words can do...
Rory and Leanne glared daggers at him and I glanced uneasily toward Ernie who was now shaking his hair out in order to get all the worms out.
"STOP!" I shouted, not wanting this fight to escalate anymore, "Everyone just stop! I don't want to have a war go on! We're 11, it's summer, we're all supposed to be having a good time! Why isn't that a simple thing to do?" I asked them, sick of all this junk going on at the moment.
They all stared, watching me in shock and little fear. I walked over to Ernie and helped him brush the worms out of his hair.
"Go eat." I mumbled, hugging him before turning to the girls.
"No more pranks! The surprise attack last night was enough!" I shouted, earning a couple looks from the ghosts floating around.
Draco was staring at me in shock. Well, even more than normal.
"It wasn't...you did...what?" He sputtered, his jaw hitting the floor.
I didn't want to talk to him with Leanne and Rory listening in.
I pushed the girls toward the breakfast table, "Go! I'm fine, seriously though, no more pranks! Throw out the snozzberry and have some breakfast; If you do any more pranks I'll go to a teacher and get them to make you stop."
I smiled to myself, I am such a teacher's pet! I actually laughed at myself.
The two gave in finally and I returned to the guy whose thoughts about me were probably too confusing to understand.
I nodded my head toward a back corner of the hall and we walked over to it.
He turned to me, "What the heck is going on with you?" He asked me in a practically shouting whisper.
I sighed, crossing my arms, "I didn't have anything to do with the prank last night; I was actually interested in finding out what was up."
He squinted his eyes at me, not sure whether to believe me or not.
I apologized, "I'm sorry, ok? These past few days have been really confusing and I'm sorry for that. Are-"
"Hermione!" Someone shouted, I turned my head and saw Ernie patting the seat next to him when he saw me looking.
I turned back to Draco, not interested in eating at the moment.
"Are you two actually dating?" He asked me, continuously glancing over toward Ernie.
"No... It was part of their stupid prank, I couldn't get out of it." I answered.
He nodded, "Since we're already apologizing, I'm sorry for calling you what I did; I was just doing another fake-hatred act, I didn't actually mean it."
I smiled and then groaned, "Does the wizarding world have phones or something?" I asked him.
He frowned, "What the heck is a... phone?" He asked.
I gave another smile, "Guess not. It's a sort of... way to converse, without being in the same place. I was thinking maybe we could talk to each other through on of those, it'd be simpler to explain to the other when we're kidding and stuff..."
"Oh," He said, now deep in thought.
"I should go, the others are probably starting to think that we're talking about something other then 'No pranking each other ever again.'"
He nodded and I readied myself to leave the SFM.
I quickly said 'Bye' before leaving, not waiting for a response.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter D: We don't want the open house to be too long so we're stopping here for this chapter... Thankfully Cammy and I have math and gym together (Every block at our school is 80ish minutes long; Only 8 blocks per semester; We have 3 together this semester), so we get to talk a lot about this story and the ideas for some of hers... She has amazing thoughts for stories, so you should alert her. Go do it. Now.
Her Account is 'TheExtraordinaryChameleon' ~Cakey Potter
Awww :D I love you, Cakey! No joke, she has me blushing and everything. Um, yeah! Please, challenge us! -Cammy c:
Oh, and we had a request to add some songs into here... Those aren't an option since this isn't a songfic... We'll do anything other then songs and things that'll change the story rating, though! Oh, and we won't mention the Twilight Saga, either, for two reasons: 1. HP is set in the 90s and Twilight was set in '05-ish and 2. We hate Twilight; Kayla, Cammy, and I along with three other friends burned it two weekends ago at a sleepover... It was funn :D ~Cakey Potter
I have duct taped Cakey's hands together, so this is the end of our long message! -Cammy c:
