21-Songs, Skrewts, and Dreams
Disclaimer- I don't own the melody and some of the lyrics of the song. Taylor Swift does.
Wilby is normal text. Drew is italics.
Shut up.
I'm going to sing a song.
A song?
Yeah, wrote it myself.
Right...
It's called Teardrops on My Guitar.
What kind of song is that? You don't even own a guitar.
How do you know?
I just know.
I'm going to sing.
No, don't.
*grins impishly*
This better be a good song.
*clears throat*
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so she won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
WHAT?!
Kidding! No really, I'm kidding. Honest.
You better be.
I'll bet she's super skilled, that girl who's got some skillz
And she's got everything that I have to live without!
Drew yells at me, I cower 'cause she's just so scary
'Cause last time, she punched me, I couldn't even walk five feet.
She says she hates me so, but I think she's overexaggerating
This is terrible. And you never cower.
Shh.
I wonder if she knows I watch her sleep at night!
*punch* No you don't.
Ow, she's the reason for the bruises that I get
The only thing that keeps me going to the Hospital Wing
I don't hurt you that bad.
She's the one I sing to when they're mad, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can't she tell that I am here?
My spying skills, are so awesome
She doesn't think that I am stalking her
Of course I do.
Let me finish.
Class is starting. The bell just rung. *about to turn*
Noooo wait 'til I'm done!
Really, I could get detention.
Noooooo
If you don't let me go I'm going to bash your face in.
STAY.
.......make it quick.
People better cower in fear, because she will punch them
Look in those super brown eyes and know they're dead because
She's the reason for the sass marks on everyone
The only one who can steal and get away with it
She's the one I sing to when they're down, don't know why I do
I have no other friends
Drew's my only friend
I'm not even your friend.
Yeah but you were the one who took me here to treat my stings!
That doesn't c—
She's the reason for the hearing aid I'm wearing
The only one who yells enough at me to break my ears
She's the one I sing to when they're down, don't know why I do
She's the Queen of Punching, but that's never enough
Because I'm a jerk who needs more punching!
Drew glares at me, I let her get back to her class
We can go now.
That was a nice song. Even though it sounded weird.
Feel better now?
You're the one who got stung three times. But yeah, thanks.
Anytime.
And Wilby?
Yeah?
You're not a jerk.
*Sigh* Not as funny as I wanted it to be. It was more sad than funny...was it still good though?
And if you want more of Drew/Wilby's antics you can read Slytherin Army :P
Now with the actual chapter :D
Dedicated to OfficiallyPeeved for being the first to comment that it was April Fools in my weird April Fools chapter!
Leo's POV
I went to unstick Whizzbee's beak since he had started choking on the five Owl Treats I had thrown him. Once I was done he did a loop in the air and began playing a dangerous game of Avoid the Candles.
He came to a very sudden stop in midair. Whizzbee had apparently caught sight of something across the room.
Soon another owl that looked exactly like Whizzbee flew up into the air from across the room. They let out a sort of owl gasp that sounded like they were choking.
They hurtled at each other at top speed and made the painfullest headbutt in the history of all headbutts.
They plummeted to the ground. I ran over to see if he was okay. Ron ran over too, yelling, "PIG!"
What kind of name is Pig?
Pig and Whizzbee got off their backs and stared at each other with unmistakable Owl Shock.
They stood there dazed for a second, then waddled towards each other.
Whizzbee kind of snuggled against Pig while Ron and I stared at each other.
Ron looked horrified, "I didn't know Pig could actually find a girlfriend!"
"My owl's male actually," I said. "I think they're family. Brothers maybe."
"Oh...right," Ron breathed.
Pig began twittering excitedly to Whizzbee while fluttering his wings. Whizzbee hooted back just as enthusiastically.
We decided to leave them to their reunion. I went back to my best buds.
Annabeth petted her owl absent-mindedly while reading a textbook. Percy made drawings of fish on his parchment.
Nico had accidentally named his owl Hey You. She had been in the common room harassing someone's toad, and since Nico hadn't named her yet, he just said Hey You, and now she wouldn't answer to anything else.
Hey You was now harassing Thalia. It seemed like there was something interesting in her hair. Thalia kept shoving her away but Hey You wouldn't quit it.
In Defense Against the Dark Arts, Annabeth and Percy made an announcement.
"We're going to be doing combination of what we've been doing. Physical and magical combat. You're going to be battling with these monsters we've found in the Forbidden Forest. And you'd better take this seriously, because next Monday, we're playing Capture the Flag in the Forest."
Some didn't know what Capture the Flag was, and looked confused. Some looked scared at the thought of being in the Forest. Most looked excited.
Annabeth explained what Capture the Flag was, then Percy assured everyone that before playing they would make sure there weren't any too dangerous creature near the place we play in. "We'll be going around the area too, just don't run around in less than groups of three and you'll be fine."
The class chattered excitedly while Annabeth went to a large cage in the corner that was covered in some cloth.
"Before we start, you need to warm up," Annabeth instructed. "Start stretching!"
Everyone began stretching.
When we were done Percy made a big show of tearing off the cloth and tossing it to the side, covering two Gryffindors.
In the cage were four Blast-Ended Skrewts.
"Took them from Hagrid!" Percy said cheerfully.
"Everyone get into a line!" Annabeth dragged one Skrewt out of the cage. Percy closed the cage and locked the other ones inside.
People pushed each other to the front of the line and ran around to the back, nobody eager to fight the Skrewt.
"You're going to fight it with a partner," Annabeth said. "They're not even at full size, so it won't be too hard. We'll make sure nobody gets killed."
Harry happened to be the one at the front. He and Hermione defeated it in about two seconds. Hermione blasted its eyes and Harry hit a fleshy part that was not covered by shell with a Stunning Spell. The Skrewt collapsed.
Harry beamed at Annabeth, but she just grunted, "Great job."
Harry frowned but followed Hermione to sit down and watch everyone else.
Neville nearly got squashed under the Skrewt, but Ron managed to Wingardium Leviosa it before it fell on him. The Skrewt gracefully floated five feet into the air and landed with a giant boom, dust flying everywhere.
When it was Parvati and my turn, I used the Untouchable Charm and it bounced helplessly around the room, arms and legs flailing.
Nico and Trunkfoot looked unhappy, like they were thinking of bad memories.
Nico and Thalia used the Incarcerous Spell at the same time, and kept right on blasting even though the first try had already rendered the Skrewt helpless. The poor Skrewt was so covered in ropes you couldn't even see any part of it.
When the first Skrewt got tired (and set on fire by Seamus), Percy took out a second one and put the first one back inside.
Graham Montague Stunned Drew from behind while they were battling the Skrewt. He claimed it was an accident and that she shouldn't have been in the way, but it was plenty clear that she wasn't in the way, since she was two feet to his right while the Skrewt was in front of them. He got a detention with Filch. Then Drew got one too because she retaliated by jinxing his hair into grass, even adding bugs to crawl over his face.
The lesson continued, and it was quite interesting to look at people's failures. Isabell had her robes caught on fire and got stung in the butt while screaming for Duncan to save her. But he couldn't exactly help her if she was lying on top of him and burning his pants off.
Percy kept telling her to stay still so that he could put it out, but she wouldn't, so he just drenched her completely and everything in a two feet radius. Percy kept saying that she should have held still, but I knew that completely drenching Pansy, Isabell, Duncan, Kreto, Millicent, and Miles was no accident.
Before we went to bed, Annabeth said, "You know Quidditch tryouts are tomorrow. What are you guys trying out for?"
"I think I'm going to try for Beater," I said, since I hammer things a lot and would be able to hit stuff really far.
"I'm trying for Beater too," Jason said.
"Going to deflect Bludgers with your Lord of the Sky powers?" I asked.
He frowned, "No, I'm not going to cheat."
"I'm trying for Chaser," Annabeth said.
"Ahh, you're going to be a Chaser Chase?" I asked.
She ignored me, "What about you Piper?"
She shrugged, "I'm not sure if I really want to play. I like flying, that's all."
Annabeth nodded, "Okay."
"You know," Percy said, "I heard Harry Potter's the captain."
Annabeth nodded grimly, "Yes, he is. I hope he's a good captain. Anyway, did you all finish your homework?"
"I didn't do History of Magic's," Nico said. "But Binns won't do anything."
"Right," Annabeth muttered. "Well I'm going to bed now."
She settled into her bed and covered herself with a blanket. Then she took out a textbook and began to read.
"So she didn't mean sleep," I said. "She just meant to go to her bed."
Jason shrugged, "I'm going to go sleep." Piper followed him.
Percy, Thalia, Nico, and I sat in a circle on the floor.
"So..." I said, trying to start conversation, "anyone have more snacks?"
"Of course," Nico said, "we practically bought the entire store. We could open our own shop now."
"Great," I clapped my hands, "'Cause I'm craving Treacle Tarts right now."
"Just because I said we bought the whole store doesn't mean we actually did," Nico said. "I ran out of food ages ago."
"I did the smart thing and saved a few," Percy piped up. He gave me some of his blue Treacle Tarts (a very small portion though), and I wolfed it down.
I went to my Butterbeer machine (an invention I had made when I couldn't sleep) and poured myself some Butterbeer.
"Does this machine have a name?" Thalia asked, pressing the button for more Butterbeer.
"The Valdezadrink."
"That's a dumb name."
"Thanks."
She slapped Whizzbee away as he zoomed over to check out her drink.
Finally we went to bed (but not before I stole a few of Thalia's Chocolate Frogs), and I had my first demigod dream in months.
I appeared to be in some guy's bedroom. I was standing right by the door looking at the rest of the room. There were soccer trophies, awards, jerseys, and posters everywhere.
The door banged open and a guy came into the room. With a start, I recognized the Muggle who was killed and left in the middle of the hallway at Hogwarts.
He sat at the edge of the bed and picked up a soccer ball and threw it against the wall. The place he was throwing it against already had a black mark one feet across. He definitely did not have the cleanest ball on earth.
My eyes looked around and I noticed a logo of a school soccer team. Canterbury Secondary School Football Team.
"Cut it out!" someone yelled from the other room. "I'm trying to study!"
He stopped and lay down on his bed. He threw his soccer ball in the air and caught it. Over and over and over. Must be a boring life he has.
Then someone Apparated into the room. I couldn't tell whether it was a boy or girl, or even the age since their back was turned and a hood was over their head.
The guy shot up and stared, "The hell? How'd you...GET OUT!" Then he squinted at the hooded person's face, "Wait, you don't-"
The person grabbed his arm and spun. Then they were gone.
A woman's voice downstairs said, "Dinner's ready!"
Then my dad's voice rang out, "Wake up, Leo."
I was pulled out of the dream, and I awoke to something cold and sharp pressed against my throat.
