Megan Potter Book 1 *Editing*

Chapter 20. Cat Whisperer!

20. Cat Whisperer

Megan POV

Over the next few days I became super duper excited for the holidays. I couldn't wait till Christmas even though I knew I wouldn't get any presents, just being able to spend it with all my friends would be a gift in it self.

Although I knew I wouldn't receive anything I wanted to give gifts to my friends. I couldn't see how I was going to buy them inside the castle.

That was what lead to my current actions. I was in Dumbledore's office (it had taken a lot of pestering for McGonagall to bring me here). I was now putting all my effort into annoying the headmaster into letting me do what I wanted.

"Professor I wish to go away in the holidays-" I had begun before he interrupted me.

"Where on Earth would you go? Who would look after you?"

"You misunderstood, now let me finish. As I was saying I wish to go away in the holidays. I only want to go for about a day. I will be going to Diagon Alley."

"One day, and why Diagon Alley of all places?"

"Well Sir, I want to buy Christmas presents for my friends."

"Well why don't you order some things for them?"

"I don't want to get scammed."

He nodded. "Fair enough. Well, write me a list of the things you wish to buy and give me some money for them so I can send someone to get the gifts. I'll give you back any change after, along with the presents."

"I couldn't do that!"

"Why ever not?"

"I don't have a clue what to buy them. That's why I want to go to the shops. I can have a look around and buy the perfect presents for them."

"I suppose. I will figure out something and tell you tomorrow. Come and speak to me after dinner tomorrow night."

"Certainly. Thank you so much Professor you don't know how much this means to me. I've never celebrated Christmas before. See you tomorrow."

Excitedly I ran from the room and all the way back to the common room.

"Guess what!" I cried as I burst into the common room. Everyone turned to look at me. "Whoopsies sorry everyone!"

I made my way over to my group of friends who were sitting in their usual spots by the fire.

"Guess what!" I whisper yelled.

"I don't know and we'll probably never be able to guess so just tell us." groaned Ron.

"Well you're no fun."

"Yeah just tell us," grumbled Harry.

"Would you hurry up, I'm working on my revision here," snapped Hermione.

"Revision? The holidays are like a week away and we aren't even doing proper classes at the moment." I said flabbergasted.

"You can never be too organized." declared Hermione turning back to her huge book.

"You've got a problem, Hermione," said Fred.

"Anyway Megan hurry up and tell us your surprise," George said.

"You can never be too organized! Geez Hermione I keep up with you in all our classes and in some I'm ahead of you and I don't even try. Wow imagine what I could do if I could be bothered. I could take over the world! Mwahahaha!!"

"Megan you couldn't take over the world, you'd need to be far more advanced in magic." snapped Hermione.

"Which I could be if I put in the effort you put in." I retorted.
