Life As A Lovegood

Chapter 12

I sat in the Library with Ernie,Hannah and Susan. "Ernie do you know why Justin didn't come to any lessons today? I haven't seen him at all today" Susan asked "Well... He accidentally let slip to Potter that he was a muggle-born and we all told him he should stay in the dormitory for a while in case... You know" Ernie replied,I shook my head "You really think he's the heir of Slytherin then? I mean... Harry's always seemed so nice..." Hannah stated, I leaned in closer to them all "Harry isn't the heir of Slytherin. No way. Don't be stupid" I stated "Have you ever heard of a decent wizard who could talk to snakes?"He questioned, I simply looked at the table,the honest answer being no

Later That Week...

I was sitting in the common room with Hannah when Ernie ran in "Justin's-been-attacked!" He panted "What!?" Hannah and I yelled at the exact same time. "Yeah! Hes been attacked by Slytherin's Monster!" He replied "No no no! Are we allowed to go see him!?" Hannah cried "No! Nearly Headless Nick has been petrified as well" He stated "Nearly headl-" Hannah began to ask who he was "He's the Gryffindor ghost" I cut across her "Oh right" she said, Ernie sat on the chair next to her but I stood up "Where're you going?"Ernie asked "To talk to Harry and Ron, why"I replied "Amelia! He just attacked Justin!" Ernie cried "Oh for the love of MERLIN! Are you STILL going on about that! I've told you a million times Harry's not the heir of Slytherin!" I cried and with that I swept from the room.

I started going upstairs to the Gryffindor common room,fuming at Ernie,I was so distracted I almost forgot to jump the trick stair on one of the staicases.Elizabeth's (The fat lady as most call her but I find that quite rude so I asked her name and she says that its Elizabeth so I call her Elizabeth now) painting came into view but the staircase I was standing on decided now would be a good time to move which is so annoying so it took me five minutes to get there instead of half a minute,I dont mind too much I've nothing better to do on Saturdays anyway. I'm really excited for third year when I can go to Hogsmeade, I was just thinking about that when I arrived at the portrait "Hello Elizabeth" I said before telling her the password, Her portrait swung open admitting me entry, Harry and Ron were sitting on the two armchairs beside the fireplace "Hello you two" I said,walking over and sitting down "Hi" Harry said "Bloody hell Amelia you scared me" Ron said, Ilaughed "Did you hear about Justin Finch Fletchey?" Harry asked me "Yes Ernie just told me about it" I replied "I suppose he still thinks it me?" Harry said raising an eyebrow "Well... erm... Yes, Most people do they think they have enough evidence" I said "What evidence?" Ron questioned me, neither of them ever seem to know that much about what was going on in the school despite them usually being the talk of the whole thing, leaving me to explain everything "Well... this is what Ernie says.. Justin told Harry that he was muggle born is herbology that's why Justin didn't show up for lessons for a while, Also we couldn't think of any decent wizard or witch who could talk to sna-" I was explaining "Talk to snakes I know. I overheard your little conversation in the library that day" Harry snapped cutting across me "Then you'll know right well I told them all your not the heir of Slytherin so don't try have a go at me now"I snapped. "Sorry" Harry said in response "I'm just a bit annoyed with it all..." He continued "Yeah I got that" I muttered,Ron snorted and even Harry gave a feeble chuckle.

After that we talked about slightly less depressing stuff, mostly Quidditch though. That's the best part about hanging out with Harry and Ron in comparison to Hannah, Ernie, Susan and sometimes even Grace, None of them like Quidditch so I may as well be talking to a wall when talking about it to them.Still,I love them and they're my friends don't get me wrong but its just you know...

23rd of December

"The polyjuice potion is finished" I started telling Harry and Ron "It will turn you into Crabbe and Goyle for one hour and one hour alone so you'll need to be quick. I think you should do it on Christmas day to avoid much people being there" I finished explaining "What happens if the real Crabbe and Goyle walk in?" Ron asked "Aha!" I started "I've put a sleeping potion in these" I pulled two cupcakes out of my bag "Crabbe and Goyle will eat anything, just make sure they get them and you'll be fine. Oh and your robes won't fit once you've been turned into Crabbe and Goyle so I had to sneak these from the laundry" I said, opening my satchel and handing them robes each "Oh and Harry, make sure to take of your glasses when your imitating them" I warned Harry "Right okay, I will" He told me "Right then that's everything you need to know and I have to go now, The carriages are leaving in ten minutes" I quickly hugged Harry and after I hugged Ron and gave him a quick kiss which left Harry looking thoroughly embarrassed I laughed slightly and levitated my trunk "Bye! See you next year!" I said winking "Bye" Harry and Ron called in unison and I walked over to Luna "I'm very excited to be going home" Luna said serenely when I got to her, she was trying to get a firm grasp on her trunk "Would you like me to levitate that for you?" I asked her and she nodded "Yes please, I don't know that charm yet"

I sat on the train with Luna, both of us reading our own issues of the Quibbler "Luna did you hear this!? There's an infestation of Nargles in our house, Daddy wrote an article on it" I asked her "No, read it out to me" She replied "Okie doke. Ahem"

I was tidying my oldest daughters bedroom ,as she is soon coming back from Hogwarts for her christmas break,when I heard an odd noise coming from the corner of her bedroom roof.I immediately recognised this to be the sound of Nargles,My family has always been bothered with nargles but never have I ever seen a nest this large. I feel incredibly lucky that they chose our humble home to dwell in out of the millions of homes in the world,I have now moved them downstairs and into the kitchen not wanting my daughter to be bothered by the noises especially as it is now their mating season -Xenophilius Lovegood

I finished reading it out to Luna "Awh! Why your room! Lucky!" She cried, I smiled "Ha ha" I laughed, sticking my tongue out at her. Hours later we arrived at platform nine and three quarters, I levitated both mine and Luna's trunks in front of us, Once off the train I looked around wildly for Daddy when I finally seen him I ran over followed almost immediately by Luna
