We finally reached the end of the first week with relatively no damage done. It was a pretty good start.
In our first week, we had already managed to make 3 enemies, Sam got into trouble in Potions, Tash had blown up a desk, Laurie punched Petunia Pygge, I got locked out of the tower because I couldn't figure out the riddle, We found the Weasley Twins and Marauder's hideout and decided to become Animagi. Yep, a really good start.
We were sitting in the common room, Sam was there too, on the friday night with our homework and listening to Billy Ray Cyrus on our wireless. Suddenly, my owl, Albus, flew in and crashed into the bust of Rowena Ravenclaw. He dropped a parcel and two notes.
"Annie, that owl is starting to become a menace! Just yesterday, he knocked my pumpkin juice all over my astronomy homework!"
"Yeah, and on Wednesday he landed in my porridge!"
"Oh never mind about that! Let's see what you've got!" Sam was starting to get a bit short tempered because of the detention she had received from Prof. Malfoy.
"Well, the parcel is from my parents, as is one of the notes. I'll open those first."
I opened the note and I read it out to my friends.
"Dear Annie,
I hope this letter gets to you. I don't know about this owl post, it's a bit hectic, as it were. I guess I just need to get used to it. Your owl is a teensy bit clumsy. It knocked over Dad's bust that his mother made... thankfully it fell onto the washing pile. It could have been horrible!
I just want you to know how proud I am of you and hope that you've made new friends. I know that you really didn't want to leave Tash and Molly and all the other friends that you've made. I've sent you some of our home-made fudge and a present which I crotched for you. I hope you like it.
We're both missing you lots. But some really funny things happened whilst you've been gone which we wanted to share with you. Do you remember how dad really HATES those Tele-Marketers? Well, someone phoned our house a few days ago and said in a slightly american accent 'Hi!' but your dad immediately assumed that it was a Tele-marketer and shouted down the phone 'OH, F*** OFF!' . The phone rang a few moments later and he picked up and the caller said ' Johnny, it's Jean!'. It was sooo hilarious! It was your Godmother that your dad had sworn at! I've got to go now, your owl is starting to bug the dogs. What're you going to do with it in the summer?
Lots of Love,
Mum.

"Aaaaaaw-that's-so-sweet!" Said Laurie in between fake sobs. She got her hanky out and did a long and loud nose blow!
"Yeah, so sentimental!"
"Let's stop jawing and see what she made for you!"
I opened my mum's package and found a Scarf with Brooms and Quidditch balls over it.
"Aaaaw, it's so sweet! She knows that I've always wanted to play Quidditch! I've got to thank her for that."
"Hey, if you're from an all muggle family, how does your mum know about Quidditch?"
"Every summer, I go into my 'Harry Potter obsession' faze, because I love the books and films so much. You should see my room, I've got pictures of Quidditch all over my room! It was really bad last summer, I got a branch which had been cut off my tree which was the perfect shape, and I made it into my own Firebolt broom! It was very beautiful infact. Now that I know how to make things fly, I can even try to bewitch it to make it fly for next year so that I can join our Quidditch team."
"That's cool, but also quite sad..." Laurie said with a huge smirk on her face.
"Careful there Laurie, she may bludgeon you to death with her 'Firebolt'!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Real mature guys! Anyway, if you carry on, you won't get any of my delicious fudge!"
"Ok, we'll be good!!!" They all said at once.
We shared out the fudge and went off to our dormitories, Sam going back to Gryffindor Tower.
That night, I lay in bed writing a note to my mum about everything that had happened. I told her all about my friends and enemies and about my lessons and Hogwarts in general.
The next morning, we jumped out of bed and went down to breakfast. It was Saturday, which meant no lessons!!!! We were so happy. We sat in our usual group and talked about what we would do. Sam then told us what she had been doing last night.
"You'll never believe what I did last night. When I went to bed, I got out my parchment and wrote a letter to Luella which she'll get this morning!"
"Yeah, uh, Sam... That's not really that interesting!"
"You haven't heard the best part of it yet... I put a charm on the envelope so that when she opens it and reads it, her teeth will grow and grow and grow!"
"That's awesome! I wish you'd told us earlier though."
"You guys, this isn't really the best idea ever. First of all, 1. She knows Sam's writing because of that note I got which she read, 2. She'll recognise your style, 3. She'll recognise your owl and last but not least, 4. What provoked you to do something like that! In the morning, at breakfast! With the teachers at the high table!!! You're mad! You'll get detention... again!!!! Not your best work Sam." I then put on a voice and imiatated Prof. McGonnagall, "I'm very disappointed in you Sam. 20 points from Gryffindor!"
"Oh... I'm very sorry," she said in an apologetic tone, we knew she was faking. We all laughed, "Ooooh, look, Show time! Watch those teeth go!"
We quickly finished our breakfast and left the Great Hall. As we left, we saw that Luella's teeth had already grown down to her knees.
We went outside to enjoy a nice sunny day.
