The Magical House of Dumbledore (A Marauders Love Story)

Chapter Eleven.

In Herbology, they had no place for me that isn't between James and Sirius. Those bitches. I stood between them, and ignored them. Dumbledore had also told me this spell where somebody doesn't feel that I'm there if they touch me. It would appear in some random place, and when I was sitting with Meda and Reg in the hospital wing (she said we could stay here, she said that they deserve to be pranked), I found out it was either poking his head, or kicking his shin.

I had just died of laughter.

I faked being dead. Meda started to fake cry, and Reg just looked grim, as she put the covers over my head.

"What happened?" Sirius asked. "Who's that?"

"Th-that's Harley," Meda said, then making a large fake sob.

"What?"

"She died," Reg whispered.

I almost actually did die. It took all I had not to laugh.

"What?" they asked. I could feel them looking over. They pulled the sheet off my head.

"Oh no," Sirius whispered.

I opened my eyes in a snap, at the same time I had snapped up, yelling, "ARGHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the four of them screamed, a look of horror on all their faces as they all clutched their hearts, and fell to the ground.

Reg, Meda and I laughed until we cried.

"That," I gasped out, my cheeks hurting, but smiling, not laughing anymore."Is the most painful stitch ever."

I tried to stop smiling, but it felt like a foreign concept to me.

Ty came in with a smile, and some roses. She ignored the four boys.

"Hello, Regulas, Andromeda," she said, putting the roses by my side. "These are from . . . that Evans girl, she said she was doing homework, so she forced me to do it for her."

"Nice to know I'm put below homework," I said sarcastically with a gravelly tone, and then coughing, putting my head down onto the pillow, and groaning. I had a charm on me to appear pale, with a greenish tinge to my face.

"You look like shit," James said.

"As do you, but I didn't point that out when I first met you," I said with a cold tone, also it sounded like it hurt to speak. Meda, Reg and Ty laughed.

"I like this girl. I'm Ty, you're Harley, right?"

I nodded.

"See you around," she said. "I'll tell Avery that he's going to be pushed out of windows."

I laughed in response. She heard me warn him that I'll throw him out windows, I know it.

She walked out.

"So you've been here all day?" James asked.

"Yep," I said.

They went to Madam Pomfrey's door, and knocked.

She answered the door.

"Has Harley been in here all day?" James asked.

"Yes," she said impatiently. "She's in no state to leave the Hospital Wing. Now get, she needs rest!"

I faked being asleep.

They all started to leave. The bell rang for Transfiguration, and I got out. Madam Pomfrey took the charm off of me.

I walked to Transfiguration, and I took my usual seat beside Lily.

"Black, about Ha--" Lily said, after I told her that she has to tell them.

"Yeah, yeah, we know, she's not here."

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm here," I said with a smile when I turned around. "And I got you good, you'd be surprised about how much the school wanted you guys pranked!"

The class nodded at them when they looked around. McGonagall was late for this lesson, which was strange.

"So, you're telling us that you all wanted to see us pranked?" Sirius asked. "Well . . . how'd you get the Slytherin's to agree to it?"

"My cunning," I said with a smile. "I bribed a student."

"With?"

"Twenty galleons," I said, telling them a half-lie. I wasn't going to tell them more.

They nodded. "Well, we need to get you back."

"War, I declare," I said with a smile.

To start off my worst day ever.

Our Hogesmead trip had finally come up, so Reg and I went on our date. We were at the Three Broomsticks, drinking butterbeer and laughing about nonsense.

Then a freaking caterpillar walked out of my glass, and since I have the most horrible fear of them, I screamed and threw the glass at the door.

Anything, I can handle any bug, even those huge New Zealand Weta's, but Merlin, not freaking caterpillars!

James and Sirius came out laughing. "Oh my Merlin! That was hillarious!"

I was rendered speechless.

"I think," Remus said, looking at my expression. "That you two took that one too far."

"Moony! It's not like she's afraid of them," Sirius said.

"Oh no," Lily said sarcastically. "She's deathly terrified of caterpillars!"

That wiped their smiled off their faces.

"What? Since when?" Reg asked.

"Sick images her neighbour put into her head," Lily said, sounding disgusted as she sat next to me, pulling her legs up, and her head onto my shoulder, making her hair drape like curtains on me.

Unable to speak, I just nodded. They just make me want to vomit. I got up and walked towards the bathroom, before emtying my guts into it. Lily held up my hair for me.

"Never am I having another Butterbeer," I groaned when I was finished.

"I know, dear," she said patting my back. "I've got mouthwash."

I laughed despite it. "That is just so you," I said as I magically made some come out, and into my mouth, then gurgled.

"Of course," she said.

I spat it out, and then flushed the tiolet. "It'll have to do until I get a toothbrush and toothpaste in there," I said.

She smiled, and then started to fix my hair, letting it fall into cascades of soft brown curls.

"You remind me of a tree," she said looking at me. "An inverted tree."

"What?" I asked her. That's probably the most insane thing I've ever heard.

"Well, you're wearing a green pair of jeans, and then a khaki shirt, and then your hair is brown. You're an upside down tree."

I stood on my hands. "What about now?"

"Normal tree."

"Ew, normal," I said before standing on my feet.

Reg and I went out, me not talking to them. They will have the worst revenge ever.

"So, Harley," Reg said awkwardly after the date.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Yes?"

"I think . . . we should break up," he said, looking away.

"Why?" I asked suddenly, my eyes widened.

"Well," he said, "you're completely hellbent on pranking them that you spend no time with me, or Meda. You also left us in Potions."

"But--"

"I don't want to hear it," he said before leaving.

And that concludes the worst day I've ever had.
