[CHAPTER 30] Beyond School Happenings

Kataleen

We were all at the Great Hall for the end of the year feast. Everyone was congratulating us and thanking us for all our efforts to save the stone.

"Thanks, thanks, it was a great pleasure serving the school," said Albion proudly. He's really enjoying the attention.

I wrinkled my nose, leaning close to him and giving my world-famous, newest threat. "Hey, if you don't stop acting like you're the biggest celebrity in school, I'll spread your real name now."

"No!" he hissed in my ear, then groaned. "Stop teasing me over it! It isn't funny that your father, because he's so expectant you'll be a girl, signed up your birth certificate without knowing you're going to be a boy."

I made a pfft sound and chuckled, as he glared at me and our companions looked at us with a grin. We're all teasing him because of that and using it to our advantage. Even Harry caught up on it.

"Seriously, I'd love to call him Alanis anytime," whispered Matrix in my ear.

"Don't tease the poor baby," I said with a pouty face and baby voice, pretending to slap his shoulder. He just chuckled and placed an arm around my neck.

If only he knew the feeling was mutual.

Before we can even find some empty seats at the Gryffindor table, someone blocked our way. And, who else?

"I hope you're happy now, Potter," Malfoy snapped.

I sneered, "Wow. No longer fresh from the freezing stage, I see."

He glared at me with a growl, as Agnatha and Marcel came beside him, sandwiched by his fat pigeons. Agnatha was on crutches and Marcel had a cast around her right arm. They all glared at us before going back to their table.

"We shouldn't mind them in general," I sighed, as we heard whistles and cheers.

I furrowed my eyebrows before looking up at the wall and seeing Fred and George on brooms. "Oy, our fellow students!"

"Wanna see something awesome to top the school year off?!" George yelled, and the cheers were deafening.

I just furrowed my eyebrows at first, but realised what they were referring too. I cheered and yelled until Fred and George grinned goofily pulled yellow ribbons.

A gigantic poster filled an entire stretch of a wall in the Great Hall. It was the picture when Malfoy was upside down and assaulted by pigeons while we were at his side...

"OH MY GOODNESS! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE SERIOUS!" I said through laughs, hitting my ankles in laughter on the first empty seat my bottom got hold of.

Fred and George laughed, as hundreds of copies of the photo suddenly appeared and got scattered around the walls, on tables, even on the back of chairs, making everyone laugh.

I looked at Malfoy and saw he was frustratedly ripping one of the photos that appeared on his chair to shreds. When he saw me looking at him he glared at me for a good while, before throwing the shreds in my direction. But naturally, it didn't reach, and just scattered on the floor, making me smirk and chuckle.
