Gremlins of Chaos: New school, New Adventure

3. New Ghost Bestie? ...Well fuck.

"Lumos."

My wand lights up in a soft light, waking Medi up from her sleep.

Meow.

"Sorry Medi," I held my wand out in front of me, "I thought I heard something."

As soon as we got to my dorm, the tea that McGonagall gave me began working right away. I swear, she had to have also put some sort of sleep charm in the tea, cause as soon as my head hit my pillow I was out like a light. I would've been tossing and turning all night, probably not getting to sleep till closer to four in the morning.

Now instead, it looks like I woke myself up at five in the morning.

Whoopty frickin doo.

"I could've sworn," I mumbled, flinging my blankets off me and taking cautious steps around my room.

Meow.

Medi stretched and started following me, obviously still slightly upset with me that I didn't take her around with me.

"Medi, I swear I heard some giggling," I turned towards my cat, "Did you hear giggling?"

Meow.

"Eh, might just be my mind playing tricks on me. I had a long day, of course, my stupid brain would make me paranoid. At least that tea that McGonagall gave me seemed to knock me out, so I got some sleep."

Meow.

"At least it was some sleep."

Meow.

"A couple of hours of sleep is better than none."

Meow.

"And now I'm arguing with a cat," I flung my arms up, accidentally disarming my light charm, "Fuck."

Meow.

"I'm way too tired for this shit. Lumos."

"HELLO THERE!"

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"

I jumped back, crashing into the edge of my bed. Medi jumped up, hissing at the stranger that just appeared out of nowhere. The... being just cackled, leaning back as they floated in mid-air. They appeared to be wearing some sort of jester outfit, complete with a hat and everything.

"Oh my god!" The being cackled, wiping an imaginary tear from their eye, "That was hilarious!"

"Who the fuck?!" I held my wand in front of me protectively, my heart pounding so loud I could barely hear my thoughts, "What the fuck?! How the fuck?! Why the fuck?!"

"Take a chill pill kid," the jester floated closer to me, "Jeez, you'd think for someone who helped take down a troll, you'd be less of a wuss than the others."

"... I feel like I should feel insulted, and yet I am still just processing the fact that a floating clown is talking to me."

"Oh ho," The jester crossed their arms, leaning back, "We got some sass now? That's hilarious!"

"... I'm going fucking insane," I mumbled, slowly backing away from the floating jester and sitting on my bed, "It has to be the damn tea. Since I've never fallen asleep that quickly, my brain decided to say "Hey! Melody had a shit day! How about we make her develop a fear of clowns?! Cause why the fuck not?!" Fuck my brain!"

"I am not a clown!"

Meow.

Medi leaped at the jester with an angry meow, though it was no good since she went right through them and fell to the floor. The jester and I both stared at Medi, me with worry and them with confusion.
