More To Life...The Sequel

More To Life…The Sequel 04

    Harry lay in bed that night, the letter in his hand. 'Who would send me a love letter?' He thought as he re-read the letter for the thousandth time.

        At the same time, in the seventh year boys' dormitory, Oliver was thinking the exact same thing. 'Does someone besides Lavender like me? Who? All the girls I know just think that I'm an over obsessed Quidditch freak.' Oliver too, rolled over and fell asleep.

    "Lavender? Are you still awake?" Parvati whispered into the darkness.

    "No Parvati. I'm sleeping soundly knowing that someone likes Oliver. Of course I'm awake!" Lavender said back to Parvati.

    "Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny," Parvati said to Lavender sarcastically. Parvati reached over to her bedside table and grabbed her wand. "Lumos!" She whispered as the tip of her wand lit up.

    "Good idea," Lavender said, grabbing her wand and doing the same as Parvati.

    Parvati shown her light on Lavender's face. They started talking about who they thought liked Harry and Oliver. "It can't be Cho, she likes…" Parvati was cut off by Hermione's scream.

    "Will you two please shut up? I have an Arthimancy test tomorrow and I don't feel like staying up all night listening to your boy troubles!"

    "Sorry," Lavender said to Hermione. They both extinguished their wands and fell asleep.

~*5 minutes later*~

Parvati woke up and grabbed her wand again. "Lavender? Lavender? Are you awake?"

"Yes Parvati!" Lavender replied.

"I was just thinking…we should go and check on the guys. What if someone tries to steal them?" Parvati said seriously.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's sleep in the Common Room," Lavender said as she started gathering blankets and pillows. "We don't want them to be stolen before their big Quidditch game tomorrow."

"Yeah, maybe we should stand watch in shifts. I'll stay watch for an hour and you can sleep. Then, in an hour I'll wake you up and I'll go to sleep and you stay up for an hour," Parvati said, situating herself on the couch nearest to the fire.

"Okay. Oh hey! Look! It's a house elf!" Lavender exclaimed.

The house elf jumped out of its skin. "Oh! Me sorry! Me go now! I have to go and put my ears in the toaster!"

"No! No! No!" Lavender exclaimed. "Could you just bring us some coffee?"

"And some chocolate?" Parvati added

"Yes," the house elf said bowing.

~*10 minutes later*~

    "Coffee!" Parvati exclaimed as the house elf returned with coffee and chocolate.

    ~*The Next Morning*~

    "Where are we going again?" Lavender asked Parvati as they went down a dark corridor that Lavender had never been before.

    "Quidditch dressing rooms! We're going to spy on Oliver and Harry! Soon, we will know who has been stalking our boyfriends!" Parvati said as she gave an evil laugh.

    Then, out of no where, Lavender said, "That coffee last night was really good. But, I think it is starting to get to me…" Lavender said as she slightly started bouncing up and down. They peaked around a corner to see Katie Bell talking to Oliver. Lavender gasped and jumped out of their hiding place, wand raised and yelling at Katie, "Stay away from Oliver! Stay away! He's mine! Twenty feet radius around! Oliver! He needs his space! Lumos!" She lit up her wand and shined it in Katie's eyes. "What were you talking to Oliver about? Huh? Huh? Huh? Tell me! Now! Huh? Huh? Huh?"

    "A new play…strategy…" Katie replied.

    "Aha! A likely story! It's you, isn't it? Yes! I knew it was you! Just because you think you are on the Quidditch Team gives you the right to talk to Oliver? You're wrong! Oh so wrong!" She said pointing her finger at Katie who was backing towards a wall. "You could try to be more wrong but you are wronger then the wrongest person that ever lived a wrong, wrong life!"

    "Am I?" Katie asked.

    "Yes! Because you couldn't be any wronger because you are already wrong and don't make me explain it again because I don't even understand it! All I understand is paperclips, ricotta cheese and Parvati!" Oliver coughed. "Oh! And my Ollie-Ollie-Ollikinns-Olliekinniesinns! Yeah! Him!" She said pointing to Oliver.

    "Kookoo! Kookoo!" They heard Angelina Johnson in the background. Then, out of nowhere, Parvati came and tackled Angelina. Angelina asked, "How much sleep did you get last night?"

    Parvati answered, "1-3-3-4-6! No…that's not right is it? Ummm…1-2-4? No, I GOT IT! 1-2-3-4! 4 hours! HEHEHE! HAHAHAHA! 4 hours!" Parvati exclaimed, holding up five fingers.

    Then, out of the blue, Lavender yelled, "MMM! COFFEE! COFFEE! COFFEE! COFFEE! YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! OOOO Chocolate covered coffee!"

    "Chocolate covered coffee!" Parvati yelled at the top of her lungs. "I should buy a boat! And do you know what we will put in that boat?"

    "What?" Lavender asked.

"COFFEE!!! COFFEE!!! COFFEE!!" Parvati screamed as she threw her hands up in the air. "And do you know what we will put in the coffee?"

    "Paperclips!!!!" Lavender screamed.

    "Not just any paperclips…chocolate covered paperclips!" Parvati cried.     

    "You can't eat paperclips," Angelina said.

    "Who told you that? I've been eating paperclips and little plastic spoons since I was five," Lavender explained.

    "We're going to chocolate coat our coffee!" Parvati yelled.

    "How the heck are you going to chocolate coat your coffee? It's a liquid?" Oliver asked, very confused.

    "That's what the coffee makes want you to think. We know better!" Lavender said. Oliver looked even more confused. "Don't question our methods! We're in Advanced Divination!"

    Then, out of no where, Parvati grabbed Harry and pins him to the floor, stomach down and asks, "Do you know where we can buy a boat? Preferably a chocolate covered coffee boat?"

    "No…" Harry said uncertainly.

    "Oh, oh well. On with the fortune telling," Parvati told him as she put her hands over his head and in a misty voice, "I see…I see…I see…PIGGYS! I see…I see…I see BUTTERBEER! I see butterbeer-covered piggys! Or, piggy flavored butterbeer. Either one is kind of weird. WHEEEE!" Parvati suddenly fainted on top of Harry, dead to the world.

    Then, it was silent for a moment when Lavender suddenly grabbed Alicia and did the same as Parvati did to Harry and said, "I see…I see…paperclips! I see…hot sauce! I see…pretty, pretty stars! I see darkness!" Then, she too, fainted on top of Alicia.

    There was silence for a moment when suddenly, everyone burst out laughing. Everyone, except for Alicia who was pinned to the ground by the fainted Lavender. And, of course, Parvati, being dead to the world, wasn't laughing either. After about five minutes of laughing, McGonagall came bursting through the door yelling, "Okay everyone! Up! The game is in ten minu…" she suddenly stopped and saw the two fainted girls, a very mad looking Alicia and Harry, who was laughing hysterically. "Explain yourselves…now!" McGonagall roared.

    It got quiet very fast, except for Harry, who was still laughing but was trying to hold it in and he wasn't doing a very good job of it. "To make a long story short, Professor," Alicia started to say. "Parvati and Lavender here, had too much coffee and chocolate, not enough sleep, and that's not a good combination."

    "Oh…I see…well, I guess that we will have to move them, right?" McGonagall said very sternly.

    "That would help," Alicia replied.

    McGonagall bent down over Parvati and as soon as McGonagall's fingers touched Parvati's arm, she bolted upright and started humming the Jeopardy Theme Song. She suddenly stopped and pointed to Alicia and asked, "Who was the president of the United States in 1506?"

    "I don't know," Alicia replied, she looked as if she was getting a little scared.

    "Errrr! Wrong! You failed to answer in the form of a question! You lose! I win!" Parvati yelled happily. "I win! I win! I win!"

    All of a sudden, Lavender got up and said, "You have won…Bessie! The heifer! The queen of all the cows!"

    "OOOO!" Parvati squealed. Then, she started to chant, "A mooah…a moo-oo-wah! A mooah…a moo-oo-wah!"

They went on chanting that for a few minutes when, at the same time they yelled, "Switch!"

Parvati started to chant, "Bessie! The heifer! The queen of all the cows!"

While Lavender was chanting, "A mooah! A moo-oo-wah!"

After a few minutes of that, Parvati yelled, "I said a boom chicka boom!"

It was Lavender's turn to squeal with delight when she yelled, "I said a boom chicka boom!"

They both yelled, "We said a boom chicka racca chick racca chicka boom!"

Then, Parvati yelled, (with Lavender still yelling in the background.) "Come on everyone! Sing!"

There was silence, then, Lavender stopped chanting and asked everyone, (who were backed against a wall) "What's wrong with you people? Have you no Hogwarts spirit? Goooo Gryffindor! Whoo! We're Double G's!"

"Double G's!" Parvati cried. She realized that everyone was staring at her with dumbstruck faces, except for Harry and Oliver who were trying not to laugh. "Gryffindor is Great!"

"Time to go up to the Hospital Wing Miss Patil and Miss Brown. Maybe Madam Pomfrey will have some Honeydukes chocolate for you…" McGonagall interrupted.

"OOOO Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! Yummy! We don't need to go to the Hospital Wing! We're fine!" Lavender said.

"I insist…" McGonagall said unsurely.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! We'll go off to Azkaban. We'll go quietly. We're innocent victims of the system!" Parvati said, hanging her head low.

"We're going….in the deep dark jungle where nobody goes!" Lavender suddenly started singing, starting to do a little dance around the dressing room.

"YAY!" Parvati yelled, "There's a wishy washy woman who likes to wash her clothes!"

They both went beside each other and yelled together, "Oh-ah! Oh-ah! That's how the wishy washy woman washes her clothes! Illywatcha! A-gitchi-gitchi-gitchi! Illywatcha! A-gitchi-gitchi-gitchi! That's how the wishy washy woman washes her clothes! OOO Clothes!"

They finished and bowed towards the only vacant wall in the dressing room. They turned around and Parvati asked, "You're supposed to throw flowers at us!" she looked slightly disappointed.

"Encore! Encore!" Lavender yelled, doing a little dance that goes in circles. Parvati smiled and started doing the same thing.

"Okay, come on. Let's go…" McGonagall said, her voice getting sterner and her mouth in a very thin line.

"Professor? Can we ride in my little red wagon?" Lavender asked, eyes glinting.

"O-okay," McGonagall said confused.

"No we can't!" Parvati screamed.

"Why?" McGonagall asked.

Parvati and Lavender looked at each other and screamed, "You can't ride in my little red wagon! The front seat's broken and the axle's dragging! Chug-chug-chug-a-lug-a-lug! Second verse! Same as the first! A little bit louder and a whole lot worse! You can't ride in my little red wagon the front seat's broken and the axle's dragging! Chug-chug-chug-a-lug-a-lug!" McGonagall put her hands on the girls' shoulders and led them out of the dressing rooms. Down the corridor you could still hear them singing "You can't ride in my little red wagon! The front seat's broken and the axle's dragging! Chug-chug-chug-a-lug-a-lug!"

There was a very odd silence, and then laughter until the doors opened and the Quidditch match began.
