Hogwarts: A Mixed World

|15|The Calm Before the Storm

Hermione walked into a messed up dorm. Clothes were strewn everywhere and the beds were undone. A table had been flipped in the corner. And in the middle of it all was a stressed Cherry, underneath her bed.

"Mind explaining what's going on here", Hermione said hands on her hips.

Cherry sat up and stretched her back as she sighed.

"My favourite shirt. You know the comfy one that is plain white. It may be plain but it is designer and expensive. Can't find it and I have a meeting with Dumbledore today. It is literally the only shirt I can wear under my pastel jumper that shows no lumps" she ranted.

Hermione looked at her in thought. "I recall your sister, Nichole I think saying she might borrow that since she had the same problem with lumps showing underneath her jumper".

Cherry's eyes narrowed. "Nichole" she said darkly as she stood up and made her way to the stairs.

Hermione stood in front of her. "I think we should just calm down". She slowly but cautiously mad ever way to Cherry who was fuming.

Cherry growled and Hermione which surprised her. "I've told her a million times not to take my things but she never listens. She deserves what's coming".

Hermione was honestly  surprised at her outburst as Cherry was usually quite composed.

Cherry stood up and made her way to the Great Hall, hermione following her while looking at Nichole sympathetically as Cherry was silently fuming as she stood in front of Nicole. This gained the attention of the few onlookers in the Hall as they curiously peered at the sisters.

"Nichole" Cherry said in a sickingly sweet voice. "Did you wear my shirt?"

Nichole shook her head as she continued to stuff herself with buttertoast.

"Your sweater, take it off".

"No".

"Take it off".

"I don't want to".

"If you won't" Cherry snickered as her eyes narrowed. "I will".

Nichole shook her head frantically and just about dodged Cherry as she lurched at her.

Nichole ran over to Summer screaming profanities as she used Summer as a human shield.

Diggory who was watching in shock pulled Summer out of the way as it seemed that Cherry was ready to punch Summer just to get at Nichole.

Cherry grabbed Nichole and everyone watched as they left the Hall.

"This is all your fault Summer" shrieked Nichole as she struggled to get out of Cherry's grasp.

"At my funeral you will be crying and realising it's all your fault that I died. On my tombstone it shall read 'Here lies Nichole Morticia Green, the most amazing sister and lover of cats, street fights and Macky's ice-cream. Cause of death betrayal of trust'."

Summer looked on in amusement and the Hall was silent for the remainder of breakfast until Cherry walked in with a bright smile on her face.

Nichole trailed after her pouting  before glaring at Summer. There was a red mark on her face in the shape of a hand. She walked over  to the twins who had started laughing at her.

Nichole narrowed her eyes and smashed both of their faces into their breakfasts.

The Hall burst into laughter as the twins faces were covered in porridge as they spluttered.

The ran after Nichole who had already dashed out of the Hall with a headstart, bellowing that revenge shall be served with a side of justice.

***
The sisters were all sitting at the table eating before Hermione walked in arguing with Ron.

"Tell that blimey cat to stay away from Scabbers".

"It's in it's nature Ron. Seriously grow up".

Ron scowled as he sat down.

"Just keep him away from Scabbers".

Hermione shook her head in disbelief before sitting down.

"Well ickle-Ronniekins, that fat lump you call a rat is old" said Nichole.

Cherry gave her a warning look while Summer scoffed. Nichole was digging her own grave.

"I'm just saying he is worthless and useless. Has as much value as a dead fly" sniggered Nichole.

Ron scowled at her.

Cherry gave a deathly glare but Nichole took no note of that.

"He'd be better off dead".

"Nichole enough" Cherry said.

"I'm just saying the rat is worthless, Ron can always get something new".

Ron drooped as he thought of it. As much as he would like something new, he had some form of emotional attachment to the rat.

"Nichole, naughty corner now".

"But I was jus-"

"Now".

Nichole sighed and stood up walking to the corner to the right of the Great Hall door before leaning into the corner face first, muttering about unfairness and only making a valid point.

Cherry smiled before continuing dinner as if nothing ever happened.

Nichole knew if she moved from there without Cherry saying she could she'd get scolded for the next century. So she stayed there all Sunday.

Her sisters forgot about her so she kind of stayed their all night.

Let's just say she wasn't very happy in the morning as she couldn't sleep so Cherry might've had to go to the Hospital Wing to get rid of the flowers blooming from her ears while Nichole spent a sleepless night in detention, polishing trophies that didn't need polishing.

I just though that I'd put in a filler chapter as I kinda went blank. I just thought I'd outline the sisters relationship a bit more. Ima explain it for the people who are dense and didn't pick it up.(Probably a very small majority) Cherry is basically alpha. Only one who can keep Nichole in her place. Summer is quiet on the sidelines and always happens to be dragged into her sisters arguments. Nichole is a bit dramatic and has a temper. She is quite impulsive and will only ever listen to Cherry. Anyway I hope that you enjoyed this short enough chapter and goodbye 👋
