Hey, I'm back! Sorry for the long update, but here's chapter 3!
Chapter Three
"ALICIA!" I heard someone scream. I turned and saw Angelina running toward me as fast as she possibly could, while waving both of her arms around in the air frantically. She looked a little bit insane. Okay, a lot a bit. But as soon as she reached me she hugged me VERY tightly.
"Can't… breathe…" I managed to choke out.
"Sorry…" she released me and I gulped in air dramatically. "Do you remember the books?" She was quieter when she asked this, so no one would overhear.
"I memorized it over the summer."
She grinned. "Same."
Then I spotted Lee. I planned to avoid him. So I suggested that we go and find a compartment. As we were boarding, we ran into Katie, who we had become very good friends with. She joined us in our search. We finally found one almost at the end of the train that was completely deserted.
We made our selves comfortable and chatted about our summers while waiting for the boys. Soon after Lee came in and he was holding a box. I screamed. "Stay away from me with that thing!"
He looked confused. "Princess?" He asked.
"Is that what you call that thing?"
"How do you know what's in here?"
"I don't know… it just came to me… Just don't let the spider out, okay?"
"Okay, okay! Jeez…"
The compartment opened again and the twins burst in.
"Guess who we just met!" they said at the same time, out of breath.
"Harry Potter," Me and Ange automatically replied. They looked at us strangely.
"How'd you know that?"
"I don't know, I just… did," replied Angelina. I smiled to myself. This year was gonna be fun!
"You two are getting weird…" Lee added. I threw my shoe at him.
"What new classes are you guys taking this year?" Fred asked as we sat down in the Great Hall.
"Divination and Ancient Runes," I replied.
"Divination and Arithmancy," said Angelina.
"Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes,"answered Lee.
"Nothing!" Katie exclaimed, looking happy that she wouldn't have to do as much work as us.
"Excellent! We have Care of Magical Creatures and Divination!"
"Am I the only one not taking Divination?" asked Lee.
"Yeah."
"Great. I did hear it was a load of rubbish though."
"I just wanna see the future!" I shared a grin with Ange as I said this. It wasn't like we needed the class to do that, but we did need an excuse.
"Hey, what house do you think Harry Potter will be in?" Katie asked, changing the subject.
"Definitely Gryffindor! I bet the hat says that as soon as it touches his head!" exclaimed George, slamming five sickles on the table. Fred nodded enthusiastically and added five more to the pile.
"I bet it takes a bit longer for the hat to decide that," I say, adding five sickles. Angelina added her five, too, agreeing with me (duh, we both know it's true).
"I bet You-Know-Who left some evil on him and he's in Slytherin!" Me and Angelina tried to hide our snorts. That was just too ridiculous! But Lee still put five sickles down, and Katie with him, since she had no idea and it would even it out anyway.
Hermione came rushing to the hat. "I met her this morning," Lee said in an undertone to us. "Definitely Ravenclaw."
"Nah, she seems like a Gryffindor," I argued.
"GRYFFINDOR!" Lee gave me an odd look as the hat shouted that. So did Fred and George. I shrugged.
"Potter, Harry." Harry nervously walked out to the hat and put it on his head.
We waited. And waited.
Fred cursed under his breath. George scowled.
We waited longer.
"GRYFFINDOR!" Me and Ange happily collected our money. Everyone else just stared at us. We chose to ignore them.
"What do we have first today?" I asked as I walked towards my friends eating breakfast.
"Divination," they all replied, with the exception of Lee and Katie.
"Cool!" I replied, smiling. Now what could I predict? The troll? No, too early in the year. I know! Harry being on the Quidditch team!
"Welcome to Divination! I am Professor Trewaly! Many of you may not recognize me, as I don't dine with you very often. I find that it clouds my Inner Eye! But let me tell you one thing now! I cannot teach you in this class unless you have the Inner Eye. Which, I am very disappointed by, very few people posses!" We all stared at Professor Trewaly. Lee was right. She is a crazy old bat.
Professor Trewaly lectured us some more on the art of "seeing", and then passed out cups of tea and told us to partner up. I went over to George, while Angelina went over to Fred.
George and I quickly drank our tea, then exchanged cups. George took mine with a grin on his face, but as soon as he looked in it the grin disappeared.
"Uh… that could be a star, maybe…" He started flipping through his textbook. "It says here that a star means that you will have great misfortune at night."
"Riiiiiight," I said, then I took his cup and looked in it. "Hmmm… It seems to have to do with sports, and youth. So maybe a young quidditch team this year?" I glanced up at him. His mouth was hanging open. I giggled.
"What… How… How do you get all of that from this… this… this blob!" He gestured toward the cup. I giggled again.
"I don't know, I just do."
"I mean, I guess this could be a leaf, but all that means is 'heartbreak in the near future'! Nothing about what you just said!"
"I dunno, Georgie. And besides, isn't it bad luck to read your own fortune?"
Quidditch tryouts were scheduled for one week later. Pffttt. Like we needed them. The only open position was seeker. I was a reserve chaser last year, so I already got in. And Katie had privately tried out with me and Ange two days ago. Oliver agreed that we were amazing together. But we still needed a seeker… (Harry)
So everyone (minus me and Angelina) was shock when Oliver told us that Quidditch tryouts were cancelled.
"But we need a seeker!" Fred and George protested.
"I found a seeker!" Oliver was still grinning.
"WHAT!" We all yelled.
"Without us?" Angelina questioned, glaring at him. She was doing a good job acting. Actually, he really should have asked us…
"Who?" Katie asked.
"Harry Potter."
"What? He would have to be the youngest player in a century!" Lee exclaimed.
George turned to me. "Woah, Leesh. You were right."
Review please! :)
