A Harry Potter Fan Fiction

I don't own Harry Potter...or dolphins

Pre-Chapter Wind - A week has gone by and Noel has been ignoring Harry because she didn't understand why he wouldn't just tell someone and the way he reacted annoyed her. On her way to the Common Room from her last night of detention with Severus, Noel trips in front of Harry. Harry and Noel talk and become friends again after apologies were said.

-The Twinkle Gaze Affect-

It was Saturday and I, Noel Marie Dumbledore, was a free woman...girl again. So after my shower and getting dressed in a gray sweater, white shirt, and jeans with my brown hair in braids, I go downstairs to sit on an armchair in the Common Room to stare off into space. Yup, I celebrate my freedom by waking up early on a Saturday to stare off into space like a boss. Soon after, I begin to feel thirsty so I raise my hand and conjure a cup of milk in midair. I drink all the milk and let it hover a few inches above my hand. What do I do? I make circles in the air with my finger to rotate the cup. Yes, I've gone from staring into space like a boss to rotating a cup in thin air like a boss. My life is so thrilling,

"Noel, you're up early on a weekend." A voice says behind me.

"I'm always up early-" I start and freeze, breaking out of my trance, while the cup goes clattering to the floor and disappears with a tiny pop. I slowly turn to see Harry standing at the foot of the staircase. Drat!

"It's six in the morning Harry. What are you doing up so early on a Saturday?" I ask. Please pretend you didn't just see that.

"I'm off to the Owlry and I'll be back around eight." Harry says, waving a letter in his hands.

"Oh, okay." I say, though I still didn't understand why he felt the need to go to the Owlry at six in the morning on the weekend. What was so important that he couldn't wait to head to the Owlry at a later time like a normal person?

"I'm off." He says.

"Okay."

"Don't try and stop me."

"Why would I do that?"

"I dunno. Anyway, I'm off then."

"That's good for you."

"To the Owlry."

"Jesus Harry, just go. I'm not Hermione so I don't need to know where you are 24/7." I sigh, pointing to the Portrait Hole. Harry nods before leaving. "That was real smooth with the cup. Now he probably thinks I'm crazy and that I get a kick out of ordering people around. See! I am crazy because I'm talking to myself." I say to myself sourly before deciding to go to visit Sev. I head over to the Dungeons and knock loudly on his door.

"It's six in the morning on the weekend, so I'm off duty. If you want to live, then save your questions until Monday morning. If you want to die slowly and painfully, via an unidentifiable poison in your morning goblet, then by all means knock on my door once more." I hear his voice growl. I knock again and he opens the door. "Prepare to die-oh Noel. It's you're first day of freedom and you're already knocking on my door." His demeanor changes from furious to pleasant in a flash.

"I wonder what Mom would say if she saw you like that." I say, raising and eyebrow at him clad in sweats, a robe, house slippers, and his hair pulled back in a rubber band.

"She would laugh, saying how she knew I would eventually come to like muggle clothes, and that your ways were taking rubbing off on me." Severus says, letting me in. I wave my hand over an empty table, and after a tiny pyuu, a tray of crispy bacon, steaming pancakes, crunchy hash browns, fluffy eggs, fried sausages, warm muffins, syrup, juice, coffee, milk, and plates/utensils appear. I load up a plate with food as Severus munches on strips of bacon.

"So how was your first week this year?" I ask, nibbling on my syrup drenched pancake.

"It was pretty easy except a boy named Terry Boot blew up his potion almost charring his eyebrows off. How was your week as a student here?"

"Well other than detention we found a new Keeper for our house team. The downside was Harry almost caught me using my other wandless powers…hehe. How about those dolphins?"

"Noel, Dumbledore warned you about not-"

"I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't thinking and he practically ambushed me. Only freaks and weirdoes are up this early, and that's only because they never went to bed yet." I joke. I could see that Severus was starting to let it go. "He probably thought I was using wandless magics, and if he asks Hermione about it she'll tell him it was wandless magics as well."

"Fine. What about homework?"

"Done."

"That's my girl." Severus says putting four pancakes on a plate and helps himself to some coffee.

I return to the Common Room much later than expected because I ended up helping Severus revise his lesson plan for next week. I walk over to sit next to Hermione and listen to her rant about how irresponsible the boys were. I roll my eyes and verse Ron's little Sister, Ginny, in Wizard's chess.

"You should play Ron. He needs to be beaten once in a while." Ginny says, just as my castle takes her king around the same time the boys return from the Quidditch field.

"You guys are being so irresponsible." Hermione says to Harry and Ron when they walk over to us.

"It's only the first week Hermione. We still have tomorrow so relax." Ron says.

"Why do it tomorrow when you can do it today?" Hermione asks. That sounded like a quote from someone in a book that I wouldn't want to read, which is saying something because I would pretty much read any book. "Don't you think so Ginny?"

"Don't you pull me into this. See you four later because I'm going to eat." Ginny says, getting up and leaves.

"Help us." Harry mouths to me behind Hermione's back.

"You owe me." I mouth back. I turn to Hermione while putting on a sweet smile. "Mione, I'm your friend right?" I ask, resting my head on one of the arms of her chair. Her posture changes from rigid to strained as Ron and Harry watch in amazement.

"O-of course you are." Hermione says.

"Then as your friend you'd listen to me if I suggested that they have our first Saturday as a freebee for fun before the work gets harder and then they have no more time for fun." I plead, my eyes large and round twinkling at her. I bet they looked just like Granpi's eyes right then because she relaxes. "Come on Mione. Just for today is all." I say coaxing the girl to obey.

"Well...I guess I don't see the problem since it is the first Saturday. I bet you are probably done with your work." Hermione concedes. I don't know why they didn't just go, but I bet Hermione could be really scary when she was mad.

"Yup." I smile. Ron and Harry sigh in relief.

"So we're going to have a real training session on the pitch soon. Do either of you want to come and watch?" Ron asks us.

"I'm going to continue making my hats for the elves." Hermione says.

"I'd like to come." I say, jumping up very excited at the opportunity to see how good the Gryffindor team was compared to my team back home.

Watching from the sidelines was boring, but at least I was out in the fresh air and not inside, if I was I would probably be listening to Hermione have a complaining marathon. I groan when I see a group of Slytherins arrive to sit a few yards away from me. They were making it hard for me to be open minded about their house since they were always trying new ways to bump heads with my house.

"Oi look, it's the loser Gryffindors and their posse." Malfoy calls. His group roars with laughter. Ugh, I was so not a posse.

"Shut up Malfoy." I shout at him.

"Make me Dumbledore Jr." Malfoy sneers.

"Don't make me come over there." I snap. He was really testing my patience right now. This is my free day and I didn't need Malfoy around to ruin it with his presence.

"Why? Are you too lazy to walk over here. Want us to come there for you?" Malfoy asks. Was he serious? Was he that dumb? I ignore them and turn back to the field to see Katie Bell fly off, her robes covered with blood, with Fred and George. The Slytherins were roaring with laughter even though they had most likely missed what happened while conversing with me.

"Is she going to be okay? What happened?" I ask as Harry and Ron fly over to me. Ron was holding the quaffle.

"Ron accidentally hit and broke her nose with the quaffle." Harry mutters. "Then Fred and Geroge gave her something to make it better only to make it worse."

"I'm so sorry."

"S'not your fault. You might as well go back to the Common Room." Ron mutters as we try to ignore the growing laughter of the Slytherins. Damn it, patience broken. I snatch the quaffle out of Ron's hands and throw it the few feet at Malfoy's head. I hit my mark as Malfoy is knocked out.

"Wow, you'd make a great Chaser Noels." Ron laughs, as we were the one's laughing while Crabbe tosses Malfoy over his shoulder marking the Slytherin's retreat. I make my way back to the Common Room and sit next to Hermione again and we sit in silence.

"How was it?" Hermione asks after a few minutes.

"Erm… well… it was…sort of-" I start as Harry and Ron enters the Common Room and sit in front of us.

"That was lousy." Ron says.

"Well, it was only your first one-" Hermione starts.

"Who said it was me who made it lousy? Was it Noel?" Ron snaps, glaring at me. It was the truth, but I don't know why he was mad at me for.

"I didn't say anything about how lousy you played you git." I glare back at him frostily.

"No one said anything, but-" Hermione says taken aback by the sudden animosity between Ron and I.

"I'm going to get some homework done. You coming Harry?" Ron asks angrily, stomping up the boy's staircase. Harry shrugs then follows.

"Was he lousy?" Hermione asks.

"Let's say he was ridden with the guilt of not doing his homework when you asked which made him perform extremely lousy. Believe me, when you see Katie Bell, you'll know I wasn't lying." I sigh. She nods and I walk up the staircase to the Girl's Dormitory. My first Saturday at Hogwarts seemed a bit wasted.

AN: Don't you just hate it when you finally get to sleep in on the weekend, but your body goes "Hell no. I'm going to have you up at butt early o'clock because I said so!" and you're like "Damn you bodily alarm clock!" I hate that. For once I want to wake up at ten in the morning on a Saturday (yes, I know it's Tuesday.)
