Fifth Disaster |Harry Potter|

9.

As James and I stood just outside the bookshop, just meeting each other and actually getting along, a small explosion rang nearby.

I raised my eyebrows glancing toward the source of the noise when I felt James walking closer, frowning a bit. After a small look exchange of seemingly thinking the same thing, we ran toward the commotion.

It was the ice cream shop I had left mum and the Prewett girls, but I didn't see mum anywhere, but what did catch my eye was a woman covered head to toe in red ice cream. A boy was laughing hysterically at her side, pointing at her. The woman looked furious.

I clicked my tongue in boredom, "I can do that better" I said, hearing an echo, widening my eyes, whirling to face James who also looked shocked as he stared at me. He was my echo "Wait! You like pranks?!" We asked at the same time again.

I jumped in excitement.

James beamed, "They're my favorite"

"I love' em!" I exclaimed.

We high fived, before exclaiming at the same time, hugging each other, dramatically "Oh, brother/sister, where have you been my entire life?!"

"This is official" James pulled away, hooking an arm around my neck, ruffling my hair that shifted to purple the more he messed it up. "I'm totally adopting you as my newest best friend"

I struggled to get out of his grip, "Oi! I was going to say that first"

James stuck his tongue at me. "I'm the best, that's why I did it first"

"Kate?" I heard a familiar voice call out for me, "Sweetie where are you?"

I looked around for my mum, hearing her voice, finding her easily, lifting my hand, waving it like a crazy person, shaking my head to turn my purple hair to a shiny blue. No way she wouldn't be able to find me "Here!"

Mum turned around frantically, immediately settling her eyes on my blue hair, sighing in relief, walking closer "There you, my little troublemaker"

I smiled innocently, pulling away from James' grip.

"Ooh" James taunted, nudging my arm, "You're in trouble with mummy"

I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes when over his shoulder, I saw a woman look around and started calling out his name, smiling smugly, pointing behind his back "I'm not the only one"

James groaned, and it seemed like I didn't need to clarify what I meant, "Great"

I beamed mischievously "Mummy's boy"

James narrowed his eyes, "Annoying"

"Crybaby" I pouted at him.

"Kate" mum scolded from behind me, placing a hand on my shoulder, "What have I told you about insulting other people?"

James gave my mum a trembling lip look, "She was very mean"

"You were mean too" I pointed at him. "He started it"

James smiled "Not true"

"True"

"Noo"

"So, Jaimie here is insulting young girls" A kind looking but slightly older woman walked closer to us from behind James, frowning down at him.

James placed his hands behind his back, looking up at her with a sweet, innocent look. "Me? Er, no. Never, mum"

"Don't believe him" I told the woman, "He's very very mean"

The woman looked between me and James, suddenly starting to chuckle, glancing at my mum "Oh, I see"

I looked at mum, only to see her pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head, murmuring "Great. There's two of her"
