Harry Potter

Divination was dull as usual and by the time it was over Alice was so jittery she would've run down the staircase if she wasn't afraid of tripping.

"Merlin's Pants'!" she said at the top of the stairs, "I've got a bloody brillant idea!"

"Better than sitting at the Slytherin table?" Calder asked.

She gripped his arm and jumpped on the stone banester, "way better, come on!" She pulled him up with her and started to slide down.

"Alice you're mental!" Calder shouted.

"I know! But its loads of fun!" she shouted as she went down. "Look out below! WEEEEEEEEEEE!"

*It's getting slow... *pokes SB*...*

I was walking down the stairs talking to Sarabella and Sedry when I heard shouts. I looked around and I saw Alice coming down, or sliding down, the banister.

"Alice?!"

"Hey guys!" She shouted as she passed us.

"What the-!" Sarabella stuttered.

"Oh my-!" Sedry gaped after her.

"Come on!" I shouted and ran down the staris, pushing past other students. The other two following. I took two steps at a time, but I must have stepped on someone's foot because I was sudenly unbalanced. I went forward and felt my heart go strait into my throat l as I fell.

Sedry made an unnsuccesful lunge for her, and ended up tumbling down the stairs with her.

*I am so tired from work rite now.... I will get more involved soon.. sry*

Calder saw this all happening from up a few flights of stairs. Just so he could catch up, he jumped onto the banaster and started to slide.WOW! It really was fun. As he passed Lindsey and Sedry, he laughed and yelled,"You should have just jumped on!" and slid right past.

When Alice reached the bottom a new problem presented itself, how hard was she going to hit that thing on the end? Crap. She adjusted herself so she was going a little slower and Calder bumped into her.

"Hi Calder!" she shouted past the wind going by her ears.

"Hi Alice!" he replied, "what are you going to do at the end?"

"I don't know!" An idea struck her, "Wait yes I do!" she shifted herself so she was facing the other way (away from the staircase) "When I say three, jump!"

"What are you mental?"

"Haven't we already established that I am?! One!"

"Alice not a good idea!"

"Two!"

"ALice!"

"Three!" She grabbed Calders hand and slid over the side, she didn't let go even when they slamed into the floor, knees first.

Sarabella chuckled slightly, and noted that there was enough banister left that it couldn't hurt. SHe jumped on the banister and began sliding down.

At the end of the banister, she noticed that Alice had just fallen (from the looks of it) off the banister,along with Calder. Sarabella tried to stop, but wasn't prepared to jump off, so instead she let herself fall. SHe landed on top of Calder who was on top of Alice. ANd for the first time in as long as she could remember, Sarabella laughed. It started out as a small chuckle, and slowly grew until she was unable to stop laughign. Alice laughed with her, and Kate looked down at Sarabella.

"Sara, I don't think i've ever seen you laugh," she commented curiously.

"No, most haven't. My parents even say that, so now you all get to feel special," Sarabella stood up and brushed of her robes. Oddly enough, she was still smiling, and continued to smile as she walked down teh hallway. (Of course, this recieved many stares of awe from other students).

"Well that was fun."Calder grunted, after getting up."You think it was funny lindsay? Try to be on the bottom next time!" but he couldnt help laughing while looking at Lindsay, she looked hilarious when sh laughed!

"So now what?"I thought aloud.

**sorry, thats all ive got for today... **

"Well, I have potions next," Sarabella said, picking up her bag. "As do you, Linds."

"Yup," Lindsay agreed.

"And we have transfiguration," Alice noted, grabbing Sedry's arm and pulling him away from Lindsay. "Come on Sed, you and Linds can make-out later," she teased.

"Hey!" Lindsay said, stickign her tongue out at Alice.

Sedry pulled Lindsay aside from the rest of the crowd as they dispersed to their other classes.

"Hey Lindsay." he said shyly. "I just had a brilliant idea. how about we go to Hogsmade for dinner?"

Lindsay looked him up and down, realizing he was serious. "But it's against the rules, and you are a gryff!"

He shrugged and grinned. "So? You up for it?"

She returned the smile. "Of course."

relief flowed through Sedry. Without any thought, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her full on the lips.

"See you soon." he said, and dissapeared down the corridor.

Garret watched in envy. He wouldn't let this happen. Not without a fight.

I put my hand to my face and smiled. I remembered potions and walked down there.

"What's got you so happy?" Sarabella asked as I sat next to her.

"Oh nothing." I said smiling.

"Uh huh. And I'm the new Headmaster." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh really? That's great." I said. I put my elbows on the desk and rested my chin on my hands. She just looked at me and I shot her a smile.

Kate

I hurried down to Defence against the dark arts and bit my lip worriedly as I entered the classroom. A few other students were already in and they turned to stare at me. The slytherins scowled and and talked loudly and openly while the ravenclaws shifted in their seats and chattered quietly.

With a huge frown, I hunched my shoulders and made my way to the back of the classroom. I saw the leg stuck out before me a moment too late and found myself sprawled on the floor. Hurriedly I dragged myself back to my feet, glowered at the snickering Slytherin and hurried into a seat as proffessor Procom entered the room.

"Today we'll practise our patronus charms. Take out your wands," Proffessor Procom decided. I took out my wand and, for once, had no problem summoning happy thoughts. Perhaps this would be the day I could create more than a whispery mist.

Jesse took out his wand getting ready to summon his Patronus. Professer Procom was giving instructions on how to do the charm to remind them. Jesse held out his wand and remembered the time yesterday when he was on a broom. He was thinking of catching the Snitch and that certainly helped to create the charm. A silvery wolf shot out of the end of his wand. It was small and yet bigger than a wolf should be. It walked forward towards Jesse and then disappeared in a puff of light.

When Sedry caught up with Alice he had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Finally!" Alice sighed.

"Finally what?"

"You finally did something gutsey!"

"I was part of a dule with Garret!"

"Thats not gutsey, thats ticked off, kissing Lindsay in front of Garret, thats gutsey."

"when are you going to do something gutsey with Calder?"

"Things aren't like that with me and Calder," Alice protested.

Sedry repressed a laugh.

I sat through potions and talked to Sarabella a lot. We were both in a really good mood and a lot of the slytherins were bugging me and asking why we were both so happy.

*erm...yeah...that's all I got*

The next day when Alice woke she wasn't in her usual hyper mood. It was the worst day of her life, the anneversiery at least.

She pulled on her robes and sulked down to the common room, her hair in its usual braids. But they were messier today, she didn't re-do them in the morning.

Sedry and Calder noticed her different mood and said, "is everything okay Alice?"

She looked up and smiled half-heartiedly, "everythings fine."
