Michelle's POV
I groaned as the sunlight beamed on my eyes, irritating me. I open my right eye to see Helda opening the curtains. I snuggle into my blanket, wanting to sleep more. I hear Helda sigh and walking over to my bed.
"Come on, wake up. Today's your big duel with that Gryffindor" Helda says."Don't remind me about that bloody git," I said into my pillow, coming out muffled. Helda sighed and shook me, trying to get me out of my precious bed. "Don't make me get Keith in here," she said, knowing that it would work. I snapped my head up and jumped out of bed. I jokingly glare at her.
She smirked. I sighed and changed out of my pajamas into the school robes. After I got ready, Helda and I walk from our dorms to head to the Great Hall. As we enter, my eyes hover over the Gryffindor table, I lock my eyes in a death glare at Lewis, him doing the same. Giving me the "you're so dead" gesture. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. Then I see Tamara waving at me, I smiled and waved. I don't care if people stare at us, we're friends and that's what matters.
I take my seat at the Slytherin table. On my left, Helda is playing on Natalie's isomething...was it iPod? Muggles are getting smart these days with inventions. I look over her shoulder and see the title, Angry Birds Space. I sighed and shook my head. Then on my right, Keith is eating his breakfast while reading some book my dad gave him. The title read "The Hunger Games". It's by some muggle. My dad did say it's a good book though. I guess I will ask Keith later if he can lend it to me after he's done.
Soon we finish breakfast and we leave for DADA. Time to beat that bloody git!
Helda and I arrive at the classroom after all the Gryffindors. I wave to Tamara and Professor Harris walks in. He tells us to partner up with someone from the opposite house to duel for today. He said he needs to evaluate on what level each student is in duelling before making any lesson plan for the year. Good. I can show him who's the boss out of the two of us. We're up first.I walk up to him and we bow like Professor Harris instructs us. We take 2 steps back and turn around. We raise our wands into the starting position.
"3..2..1..GO!"
I make the first move.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Protego!"
"Impedimenta!"
"Stupefy."
Both of us was throwing spells at each other one after the other. It kinda went crazy.
Spells flew across the room, hitting something. When I took a glance everyone was under their desks, taking cover but taking interest in the duel. Helda was busily trying to film the duel while trying to avoid getting hurt. Thank Merlin, I studied the Charms textbook last night... I decided to try the disarming spell again while he looked distracted.
"Expelliarmus!"
His wand flies out of his hand and he stands there with his mouth open while his wand flew into my hand. The Slytherins cheered for me. Tamara came up to me as well. I threw his wand back to him. Then turned back to Tamara.
"Congratulations!" she said smiling, "You showed the jerk what you're made of."
"Thanks" I said.
"Got it all on film. We should name it The Dude That Got Pwned" says Helda happily. "I'll work with Natalie and edit it a bit. We can post it on WizTube." I laughed at the idea.
"We've got to show this to Jennifer and Natalie" says Tamara.
Then Keith came up to me and patted me on the back. He grinned. "Great job, showing that guy. Knew you could do it." He says. I blushed. I tried to be cool about it...but I failed. I stuttered out, "T-thanks, Keith." I mentally facepalm myself. Oh Merlin, can't I take one little compliment from him and NOT act like a blushing, stuttering idiot!
Then I heard someone behind me. I turned around to see Lewis. He was on the ground just sitting there. I raised my eyebrow. I walked towards him. I crouched down, "You feeling okay," I asked him, feeling concerned. He looked up and stared at me angrily. He scoffed. "Why would I? I got beaten by some low-life like you," he answered. I looked at him feeling scandalized.
"I was trying to be nice and you just start yelling at me?"
His friends pull him up and in all the chaos class is already over. He leaves but not without sending me a glare that said "I'll get you next time".
Natalie's POV
I wonder how the duel went between Michelle and Lewis went. For today's schedule I was with the Hufflepuff's all morning. It's lunchtime so Jennifer and I walk down to the Great Hall. On the way I see Michelle, Tamara and Helda. They tell Jennifer and I to get some food so we can eat outside and watch Helda's "Masterpiece". I go to my table and grab some food. I meet them outside.
"The battle was EPIC!" says Helda. "Could you take your laptop out? I want to watch this full screen."
I take it out of my bag. It has a undetectable extension charm so I could fit a lot in there. You cannot believe the things I have in there. I plugged in my iPod and put it in. I opened the file and the video popped out. All of us was gathered around the screen. Michelle was looking smug. The video began as they bowed to each other and took 2 steps back and turned around. Their wands raised in the air and the professor indicates them to start. A series of spells are shot at each other. In the end, Michelle gaining her victory.
"I don't think I can ever get tired of that." Helda says with a smile on her face. I laughed, I agree too. His face when he gotten beaten...it's funny.
"I heard he's trying out for Gryffindor beater." Tamara piped in. Oh, this is would be interesting. But kind of worrisome at the same time...I mean what if they hurt each other really badly during a Quidditch game if they both made it to beater? I don't wanna see Michelle in the infirmary and as much as I hate to admit it, that guy too.
"If you both make it, please try not to murder each other." Tamara asked both jokingly and serious.
"Won't want him to end up like Collin." Jennifer says, concern still in her voice from the little stunt she caused. "Who knows, I will try...but I have a feeling he would start it first though," Michelle said casually.
"Are you trying out Helda?" I ask.
"Nah, Quidditch is not really my thing, I'll go and cheer you on though." Helda replied with a smile.
"Great, we'll see you there" Jennifer says, returning a smile.
Tamara's POV
After countless days of practicing for Quidditch tryouts, it was finally the day. I enter the courtyard with Michelle, Natalie and Jennifer. Keith approaches us. So we left Michelle to talk with Keith. After we left, he immediately put his arm around her shoulder. He whispered something in her ear and she started laughing happily. As I look around, I see Melanie, Michelle's sister giving her the death glare. Her eyes were flaming with jealousy. Which looked weird because they are identical. Milly was looking back and forth between her two sisters. She looked completely confused.
"Tan, Keith. Your turn." said the Slytherin captain.
Michelle wishes him good luck then Keith goes up, taking a broom and tells the captain what position he is trying out for. He is trying for the Slytherin Seeker.
"You have five minutes to find the snitch." the captain said.
He zoomed forward. He goes up high, scanning the field. He spots the snitch in the middle of the field, so he dives down and quickly captures the snitch.
Throughout the whole time, Michelle was cheering for Keith among the crowd of fangirls. Oh gosh... After, he gets dismissed. He returns the broom and walks towards Michelle.
"You did a good job out there!" She smiled giving him a big grin and embraced him with a warm hug, lasting for a bit longer then necessary.
"What are they doing?" Natalie said. I shrugged.
The Gryffindor captain calls me up to the field. I grabbed a broom and stand in position. Time to show them who the new Seeker is.
After the tryouts, we all meet up. Jennifer tried out for Hufflepuff Chaser, Natalie for Ravenclaw Chaser and Michelle for Slytherin Beater. Lewis' tryout was pretty good. I would be surprised if he didn't get the position for Beater. A guy from Ravenclaw with black hair and green eyes walked towards us with a friendly smile.
"Hey Natalie! Who's your friends?" He said.
"Oh Hey, Umm this is Michelle, Tamara and Jennifer. This is my cousin, Joey Lu."
"Hi." We all said. I remember he tried out for Ravenclaw Keeper. He was pretty good.
"Hey. What's up," he said with a friendly smile. I smiled back in return.
"Good, you did a good job on being Keeper by the way." I say.
He grinned and says, "Thanks, you did great too."
Then Michelle's sisters come. One of them stomping while the other was quietly following the other. One of them grabbed Michelle by the arm and dragged her away while the one who was following said sorry for interrupting and walks away. All of us blinked in confusion. In the distance we could see Michelle and one of her sisters yelling at each other.
Then we hear the announcer, "Two days from now, there will be a list posted up on the school bulletin board. For those, who doesn't make it, repeat, for those who doesn't make it, thank you for trying out for the teams. To those who do make it, the first practice time and date will be posted on the board along with the team list. Thank you." The P.A system was turned off.
Michelle walks back towards us. "What was that about?" Jennifer asked, questioning. Michelle sighed angrily. "Just my sister being all annoying and melodramatic," Michelle replied. Well she looks mad, best to steer clear off the topic.
Two days later, the results were posted. I scan the list, I got Gryffindor Seeker, Lewis Beater. Natalie got Ravenclaw Chaser and Joey got Keeper. Michelle got Slytherin Beater and Keith seeker. Jennifer got Hufflepuff Chaser. Collin (the guy Jennifer blew up) also made the team, earning himself position as another Hufflepuff Chaser.
My friends faces immediately brighten up when they read the results. Michelle's quickly fades when Lewis comes over. Oh gosh, this can't be good.
"Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in." He said, with his little posse close behind him. Keith who was also there, seeing if he made it, stepped in. "You're the guy who insulted my house and friend yesterday. What's your problem, huh?" He asked. Michelle grabbed his arm. She said, "Keith, it's no big problem. I can handle it. You saw me during DADA a few weeks ago. I even beat you during a couple of drills too."
"Hey, I was going easy on you those times. I let you win." Keith says, clearly denying it. Lewis has an amused expression on his face. Michelle rolls her eyes, "Yeah right. I remember how you looked when you lost those times. Tamara was there to see it," says Michelle. I laugh a little, remembering the memory of when he lost to her...it was priceless.
"Done yapping like a married couple?" Lewis says. Michelle turned red and stuttered out, "W-WHAT! WHAT THE MERLIN'S BEARD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! He and I are not a c-couple!"
Lewis raises an eyebrow, "Looks like that to me." He was looking quite happy that he made Michelle freak out that much.
"Does that matter to you? Why do you care if she is my girlfriend?" Keith asked, raising an eyebrow back. Michelle choked and slapped him on the arm.
"Keith, if you wanna survive for your first Quidditch practice, then shut your mouth! You're not helping here!" Michelle yelled.
"Well, at least I'm trying!" He says yelling back. Lewis must be having the time of his life now. Alright, time for me to stop it before it goes out of hand like yesterday...*shivers* Michelle was scary yesterday. "Calm down, you two. We already caused enough trouble. Lewis lay off of them. You're also making trouble" I said.
"The only one causing trouble are those couple of Slytherins." Lewis mutters angrily. Glaring at Michelle and Keith. "...Repeat what you just said, you git." Michelle said darkly. Oh snap. I looked at Jennifer and Natalie. We were frantically signalling each other. Someone needs to calm her down. Keith isn't helping. Then a guy in Gryffindor robes with dark glasses interrupted us. I recognized him from tryouts. He's the new Keeper. His name is Brian.
"What's going on, man?" asks Brian. Lewis greeted him and said, "Oh nothing, Brian. Just telling these Slytherins to stop acting like a couple. As if they're capable of something like love." There was silence but a thick tension until Keith says, "Hey! We're right here you know!" Brian raises his eyebrows questioning.
"So what?" Lewis mutters.
"We also have feelings too."
"Psst, yeah right."
"You know, for a Gryffindor, you're awfully being mean. Aren't Gryffindors usually the ones who save the day or the good guys?" Keith gritted out. "Oh, you're saying that because you got a taste of your own medicine." Brian laughed out. Lewis and his friends high-fived him. "Last time I checked, you guys are ones who started the fight." Michelle said. All of us agreed.
"Sigh* And I thought you were nice..."Natalie quietly said. Michelle, Jennifer and I blinked in surprise. She met him before? "You met that guy before, Natalie?" asked Jennifer. "Oh yeah, I did. We met personally at the library. We talked a bit. I guess..." Natalie stutters out.
The guys continue to argue. Man, how long is this going to last? Then Michelle took out her wand. She raised it and waved it.
"Aguamenti!"
The water spouted out of her wand, splashing on Lewis. Keith burst out laughing. But stopped after it soaked him too. Not only those two, but Lewis's friends and Brian. Everyone who stopped and watched the fights, laughed at them. Then Michelle stopped the charm and turned to us.
"RUN!" Then she ran, dragging Jennifer, Natalie and me along with her. I heard shouts for us to stop. Most of them came from Lewis. We stopped running when we reached one of the hang out areas. We were panting, getting our breathes back.
"Okay...what...was that?" I asked, still catching my breath. Michelle thought for a bit and answered, "They needed cooling down. So I gave it to them." All of us laughed for a bit.
"Uh oh, look" I say. Natalie, Jennifer and Michelle look to the direction of my gaze. There stood Professor McGonagall. Arms crossed. Looking right at us.
Tamara's POV
Well...looks like we're gonna get detention. Michelle was looking at the ground, holding her wand in her hands. She was fidgeting with it. Professor McGonagall looks disappointed.
"Care to explain to me, what happened, ?" she asked sternly. I bit my lip. Michelle flinched. "Uhhh..." Lewis interrupted by stomping towards us, still soaking wet. "She doused us with that charm because we told her the truth." "Nuh-uh. It was because you guys were annoying me.
"Enough," Professor McGonagall said in a stern voice,"I warned you, so detention for both of you"
"But~" Lewis started, but Professor McGonagall shushed him with a wave of her hand. Michelle sighed. "Just to let you know, you will lose points from both of your houses. 40 points each. You are to meet Caretaker Baker at the main entrance of the school. Understood?" Both Lewis and Michelle nodded their heads.
"Good." That's all she said before she left.
"At this rate, Hufflepuff will win the house cup..." Natalie says
"That actually might not be such a bad thing...ow!" Jennifer exclaimed as Natalie nudged her side. Lewis and Michelle glare at each other. I swear, you can see the hatred burn in their eyes.
"Touch me tonight and you will regret it, Zhou." Michelle growled. Lewis rolled his eyes.
"As if I wanna get my hands dirty from the likes of you," he retorted. Jennifer walked towards, looking angry. I quickly reached my hands out to pull Jennifer back. I told her to calm down. We don't need another person to be in detention with them.
"Let's leave. We need to finish our homework." Natalie said. Michelle nodded and walked away with Natalie. But not before glaring at Lewis with hatred. Jennifer and I followed them. After a while, we arrived at the library. We began doing our homework.
"That jerk. Can't he get the fact that not all Slytherins are like that? Not just him, but his friends!" Michelle said furiously. Sigh* we should really calm her down...so I asked Natalie for her iPod. After I got her iPod, I opened a certain video file. I showed Michelle.
"HAHAHAHA! HIS FACE! It was priceless!," she laughed out loud. Then the school librarian shushed her. She continued laughing but is more quiet. I closed the video and continued doing homework. I really hope the both of them survive detention...judging from earlier, it's gonna turn ugly the moment they say a word to each other. After hours of hearing complaints (courtesy of Michelle), doing homework, and hanging out, it's almost time for supper. We packed up our stuff and headed to our own dorms to drop off our stuff.
We meet each other again at the entrance of the Great Hall. All three of us wished Michelle good luck with detention.
Michelle's POV
I wait at the main entrance to the school for Mr. Baker. He's late. Lewis isn't there either. Did I get the time wrong? I looked at the tower clock. Man it's cold... I spot Lewis walking up to the main entrance. I stay where I am, silent. He does the same. Man this is awkward.
When Mr. Baker finally came, late as ever. He tells us to follow him into the Forbidden Forest. Mr. Baker is about 5'8 and is around his late 30s, I think. I don't know him all that well, but maybe today would change that.
"So what did you kids get up to, huh?" Mr. Baker asked us, trying to make conversation I'm guessing. Neither one of us answers. Mr. Baker doesn't try to start anything else. We walk deeper into the forest. While ducking under a large dead tree trunk, Lewis "accidentally" trips me. That jerk! I kick him as hard as I can on his back, him landing in a face plant on the moist ground of the Forbidden Forest. Lewis gets up with his hands wrapped in tight fists. He wings his hand, I dodge, instead hitting a dead tree.
"Owww!" Lewis yells in pain, flailing his hand. I laugh. Serves him right for trying to punch me. "Chang, you are so~" He gets cut off by a rattle of leaves. We both turn in the direction of the sound. The sun has gone down and it was almost completely dark. I pull out my wand and lit it up. There was nothing there. Completely ignoring Lewis's death glare at me, I turn to follow Mr. Baker. Only, He wasn't there.
"Are you happy now, Zhou? Now we're lost! All thanks to your funny little stunt. I warned you not to touch me!" I yell angrily at him.
"Are you insane? Why, in the world would I ever touch you! You're downright disgusting." He shot back. That's it, he was lucky the last time. This time there's no one to stop me. I push him, making him stumble. He reaches for a branch of a nearby bush, instead accidentally grabbing my arm. Towing me down a hill with him. We roll down, collecting mud and leaves on our robes along the way. He gets up first, rubbing a hand along his arm. I get up and look for my wand. He was sitting on it.
"Stand up. My wand is under your butt." I demanded. He looked down.
"What if I don't wanna?"
"You will get a mouthful of bark. Pretty sure you wouldn't want that," I replied. I crouched down and got a long tree branch. He snickered but got up anyway, lighting up his own wand. I pick up my own, examining it for defects. Luckily, that jerk wasn't heavy enough to break it. Otherwise I would see myself going on trial for Azkaban.
"Lumos" I say, my wand lighting up. I scan my surroundings, only trees and bushes, the typical. Now to find the way out, alive. I begin walking the direction we fell, slowly climbing the hill. Lewis follows me.
"Why are you following me? Leave me alone. You caused enough trouble." I say at him ever so angrily.
"Since you got us in this situation, you're getting us out, Slytherin." He shoots back, clearly pissed off.
"I got us in this situation? You're the one who tried to freaking trip me!" I exclaim, still climbing the hill.
"Like I said, as much as I would like to, I didn't trip you. It's not worth my time." He says with the same pissed-off voice.
"Psst, yeah right." I mutter under my breath. We get to the top, I look around, trying to remember which way we were coming from. I go left. Lewis following me. Uhhhh.
We walk in silence, neither of us wanting to talk to each other, which is completely fine by me. We reach an open area, trees circling it. I don't remember coming here. I look around. When I suddenly hear the rustle of leaves again.
"Would you stop that? Stop trying to scare me, it's not working!" I say annoyed.
"It wasn't me, genius." Lewis says sarcastically.
"If it wasn't you then~" I start to say, stopping when a huge shadow hovers over mine and Lewis's. I turn. There stood a HUGE Acromantula. Self-consciously I go behind Lewis, hiding behind him.
He raises his eyebrow,"Wow, you're such a baby." He insults, bitterly. "I hate spiders! Let alone one as big as this one!" I hiss back. Then we heard it growl. I gulped...
"Hmmm...maybe it likes eating scared little girls..." Lewis says, more to himself then to me. I narrow my eyes at him. "Well, if you're so 'big and brave', you get rid of it! You're a Gryffindor after all, time to show that courage!" I urged, pushing him a little bit forward.
"Quit pushing! It senses movement...I think...and stop being such a wimp!" Lewis whisper-shouted at me. It growled. I grab Lewis's shoulders, gripping them tightly.
"Ow!" He let go, you're making the creature growl even more. Dang, this thing isn't going anywhere anytime soon, we'll be dead within seconds. Lewis slowly lowers his body down, bringing me along with him. He picks up a decent sized branch from a dead tree and hurls it to the right. The creature follows the sound of the branch dropping. Lewis runs the other way, me following him. I trip, dropping my wand, pain shot in my knee. The sound catches the creature's attention. Coming closer to me. I get up as quickly as I can and run, my robe stopping me on my tracks. My robe is stuck on a dead log. As much as I hate doing this, I have no choice.
"Zhou! Help!" I scream, terror in my voice. He stopped running and turns back, much to my surprise. The spider is getting closer...Lewis lifts his fist (that punched the tree) and broke the part of the log holding onto me, I pick up my wand and run. Him following, so is the spider. A long leg wraps around Lewis, talk about nasty. I was tempted to just run, but I didn't.
Ok, what's a good spell that would make the thing go away... uhhh...come on...you read the textbook from Charms. Should I try to blind it...sigh* better than nothing.
"Lumos solem!" I pointed my wand at the spider. It screeched in pain and let go of Lewis. I ran to him and grabbed his arm. We ran for our lives. Finally, we lost it. We slow down to a stop. Trying to catch my breath, I look over at Lewis, he looks worse then normal. I notice his hand that he used to free me is full of blisters and there's a large cut on his arm from when I pushed him down the hill. I feel guilty. I gripped my school robes, ripping a piece of it, off. It was already ripped from the log anyway.
I grabbed his arm gently. He better not get any ideas that I have feelings for him. I wrap his arm around it. He looks at me questioningly.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked, confused. "You don't get anything out of this."
I rolled my eyes at him. "I told you. I'm not that kind of person. Sorry, I don't know any healing spells yet. I should really look some up." I said, while still wrapping his arm up.
He nods," How's the knee?" he asks, surprising me again. I looked down at my leg. Since I'm wearing a skirt, (the school forces the girls to, unfortunately.), I scrapped my knee because of the lack of protection. There was a big scrape on my knee." Ha, you should have saved your robes for yourself." He jokes as he looks at the scrape.
"Nah, it's not as serious as yours." I brushed it off. After I finished, I looked around to see where we are. Only trees and bushes surrounded us. We begin walking, when we hear the cry of .
"There you are, kids! I was worried sick!" He said as he walked over. He looks at us and confirms we need a little appointment at the infirmary. After finally leaving the forest, Lewis speaks up, just loud enough for just me to hear.
"Oh, what happened back there, don't think I changed my opinion on Slytherins." He says, not meeting my eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him. Again with the grudge against Slytherin!
I ask, "What's your problem with us anyway? What have I done to you?"
"None of your business, Chang." he answered rudely. I scowled at him. Jerk.
After getting patched up in the infirmary, Jennifer storms in, Tamara and Natalie close behind.
"What did that jerk do to you?" She demands. I blinked at them in surprise. Isn't it curfew yet?
"We need to tell Professor Dumbledore and get him expelled!" Jennifer says.
"Whoa, Jennifer calm down." I took a glance at Lewis who was staring at us. I looked back at her. "I tripped. Nothing big." Jennifer looked at me suspiciously. She saw Lewis was staring at us. Jennifer glared at him.
"What did you do to her? I don't believe that you had nothing to do with this." she asked.
Lewis narrows his eyes at her, "I didn't do anything. She told you. She tripped. In fact, I got more injuries than her, so shut your yap before you point your finger at me" Lewis says angrily, leaving the infirmary. I sighed.
Tamara looks at my knee," Are you okay?" she asks.
"What happened to your robes?" Natalie asks.
I fill them in on everything, even the part where Lewis saved me. They were shocked.
"He saved you?"
"Is that even possible?"
"I'm not all that surprised, he does have some good in him. Before he knew I hung out with you, he was actually pretty nice." Tamara says.
"And after all that, he still holds a grudge against Slytherins? Oh wow." Jennifer says, kinda pissed off.
Then Madame Pomfrey walks in. "What are you doing here? It's past curfew. Get out. Your disturbing the other patients."
"Sorry, Madame Pomfrey. We'll go now. Let's go Michelle."
I lean on Natalie and Jennifer and we leave to our dorms.
Well thats the end of this chappie! :D
