A Harry Potter Fan Fiction
I don't own Harry Potter
Pre-Chapter Wind - Noel wakes up early Saturday morning and sits in the Common Room using her powers on a mug absentminded when Harry shows up on his way to the Owlry. She sends him off before going to visit Severus to have breakfast with him. She returns to convince Hermione to let the guys have a free day for the day and joins them to the Quidditch pitch. She hits Draco with a Quaffle and returns to the Common Room to have Ron blow up at her for something he thought she said about him.
-Enjoyment From The Pestering-
After I get dressed, I walk downstairs to find Harry and Ron in the Common Room doing their homework. Obviously they didn't do it last night like they said they were going to do when Ron stormed upstairs with Harry. I then debate on whether or not to go over to them. I could go over there and keep them company, but then Ron might be angry at me still for yesterday even though I didn't say what he thought I said. Technically, it was his fault since he was being hot headed to me. In the end, I decide to walk over and sit in the armchair next to Harry as more of a precautionary move.
"Still doing your homework?" I ask.
"Yeah. Don't you have homework to finish too?" Harry asks, knowing that we both had detention and we both took yesterday off for fun.
"I finished it remember. Didn't I say that yesterday? I did my homework during dinner this week and I did a lot of this stuff before…well most of it before so it was easy." They shrug. I yawn bored and decide to watch them work. I had nothing better to do anyway. It was really funny watching the boys get silently irritated with their homework, hands reaching toward their wands as if to blow it up into a million of pieces, then stopping because they've worked hours on it already and didn't want to ruin all the hard work they've put in so far. I was about ready to nod off, when I spot Fred and George walking into the Common Room. Fred tells something to George, who walks up to the Boys Dormitory alone.
"Hey Noel, you busy?" Fred asks, coming up to sit on one of the arms of my armchair.
"Not at the moment. Why?"
"Wanna hang out with me and do something fun?"
"Is George coming?" I ask, glancing at the staircase once before looking back at Fred.
"Nope. It's just the two of us. Is that a problem, because I can always go fetch him if it is." He says quickly.
"It's not a problem since this is a once in a lifetime rare opportunity to get a chance to spend the day with one Weasley twin without the other." I joke as I stand up to follow Fred out of the Common Room. "So...where are we going?"
"On a little adventure."
"I love adventures. Where are we adventuring to?"
"Off school grounds." He says with a mischievous look on his face.
"Really?" I ask as my interest peaks. "Off of school grounds? You know how to get out?"
"Anyone can get out if they know where to look."
"And how do you know I won't tell Dumbledore about this?"
"You won't since I can tell you're pretty excited to get out of here from the look on your face." He says, grabbing my hand to pull me along more quickly.
We arrive back to Hogwarts, having spent the day with Fred showing me the sights and wonders of Hogsmeade, just before dinner and decide to eat with one another in the Great Hall since we were already together anyway.
"Stop it Fred." I say, barely able to hold in my laughter as he continued to pilfer food off of everyone's plate around us without getting caught. He even took it to another level by adding things onto their plate that they didn't even remember putting there. It was fun watching them stare at the new addition to their dinner plate before shrugging it off to eat the extra roll or carrot.
"I'll stop when I get caught." He snickers reaching for a potato from Hermione's plate.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." She says, placing her book down. "Just because I was reading, it didn't mean I oblivious to what you were doing."
"Consider yourself caught." I snigger.
"Aww Herms, you really know how to put a damper on my parade." Fred pouts.
"I just don't see why you think it's funny to mess around with food, food that you aren't even going to eat, when the house elves of the school work themselves to the bone to make more than enough for you to eat. And Noel-" She rounds on me. "-you just sit there-"
"Need I remind you, I told him to stop many times." I cut in.
"And yet I could hear that you could barely contain your laughter since you thought it was hilarious."
"It was pretty funny. Generally when things are funny, you're supposed to laugh." Fred says and I nod in agreement.
"Think of the house elves and all their hard work going to waste just so you two can have a laugh." Hermione says.
"But it's their job Hermione." I say.
"Having a job means you get wages and they don't. I thought you were different Noel." Hermione says in a miffed tone.
"Having a difference of opinions about one topic with you doesn't make me not agreeable with anything else you say Hermione. I just think that we have an equal trade agreement for their work in return for food and lodgings here." I say. "I don't see a lot of places offering up rooms to rent for house elves, so at least they have a place to live instead of being out on the streets whoring themselves to do elf stuff for food. Wouldn't you agree?"
"Well if you put it that way-"
"Good. Then consider this case settled." I grin. Fred holds up a fist for me to bump for winning the debate, which I gladly accept.
"They still weren't done after all this time." Hermione comments when we get back to the Common Room after dinner. I could tell she wanted to rant about how they should have done it yesterday and it was all their fault, so I decided to change the conversation to something else that would not lead her on a ranting spree.
"Hermione, what do they do for Halloween around here?" I ask. At my old school, the older students and teachers would make fun booths for the younger students to enjoy on Halloween night and the school would host a Halloween costume contest. Me and my buds had won the best group costume contest for the last two years...I guess they'll have to win without me this year...now I'm bummed. Where's Fred when you need him?
"There's usually a feast on Halloween, but this year Dumbledore decided to make it a costume ball instead. He's got a band to come in and everything, at least that's what the Head Boy and Girl told the Prefects on the train anyway." Hermione says before walking behind Ron to read his essay over his shoulder.
"Jupiter's biggest moon is Ganymede, not Callisto, and it's Io that has the volcanoes." Hermione points out. I roll my eyes because it was typical what his response would be just using yesterday as an example.
"Thanks." Ron snarls with me mimicking him behind his back, making Harry snort. Ron whirls around and catches me in the act.
"Hey Ronnie." I smile innocently.
"If you only came here to criticize too-"
"If I wanted to, I would because you make it too easy for anyone to just waltz over to criticize you, but don't snap at Hermione for trying to help you. It's not her fault you need all the help that you can get." I say peering down on his paper, quickly scanning it. She was right about the moons. "It's like you have a huge sign on your forehead advertising for criticism."
"Ron-" Hermione starts, watching Ron glare at me while trying to hide his paper from my prying eyes. How many times could I make him angry in one weekend? He really can't take a joke or people trying to help him well.
"I haven't got time with you and Noel pestering me Hermione." Ron says. I make a face at him.
"I'm not pestering you. It's your own fault that you have a short temper and you jump to conclusions about what you think people said about you." I state.
"Noel-" Ron says.
"Ron-" I say.
"Ron-" Hermione says.
"Hermione-" Ron says.
"Hermione-" I say.
"Noel?" Hermione asks.
"Harry." Harry mumbles, joining in on the conversation, making me grin at him. He must have felt left out of the loop.
"Guys. Look." Hermione sighs, pointing to a screech owl that was staring at us. I wish I had an owl, although now that I think about it, I'm not really good with the up keep of animals and it's not like I need an owl to mail someone a letter. Ron gets up to fetch the letter and returns while the owl flies off without waiting for a reply.
"I wonder what Percy wants?" Ron says while opening the letter to read it.
"Percy?" I whisper curiously to Harry. "Who's Percy?"
"Ron's third older Brother." Harry whispers back.
"More Weasleys?" I snicker.
"He's not the favorite out of all the siblings."
"Obviously." I whisper as a lot of angry, yet not uncommon with the short amount of time I've known him in, emotions creeps back up on Ron's face as he thrusts the letter at Harry and Hermione. I get distracted by Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, jumping on my lap so I start to pet it. He purrs at me affectionately while Harry looks up at Ron. "You're such a cutie aren't you?" I say and he meows in agreement as I look up at Harry. "What's it say?"
"Well if Ron wants to-er–what is it?" Harry starts, re-reading the letter. "Oh, yeah, sever ties with me, then I swear I won't get violent toward him."
"Harry gets violent…that sounds so hot. Will I get to see a violent Harry?" I ask jokingly, causing Harry to turn crimson red.
"Believe me, you don't want to see Harry violent. It's not a pretty sight." Hermione whispers as Ron takes the letter back to tear it up, engraining how unpopular Percy was amongst the Weasleys in my head.
"He is the world's biggest git." Ron says and tosses the pieces into the fire. I yawn and check my watch. Wow, I didn't realize how late it was.
"Night all, I'm going to bed." I say.
"Night." They say and I go up to the Girl's Dormitory for the night.
AN: Not much to say here except I hope you enjoyed chapter 7. Yup, that is all.
