Reality Bites Harry Potter

Roommates are the Worst!

Ugh, freaking Herbology first thing this morning again! And I have to do it again tomorrow! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings aren't my favorite anymore. I thought as I trudged to the Great Hall, my stomach growling. "Shut up, stomach, I know you're hungry." I muttered. I did not sleep well last night as yet again those stupid girls decided to talk all night again; even after the Prefect came and told them to go to bed! They just whispered to each other and I wanted to smother them all with my pillow. Okay, yeah, I'm not a morning person. I heard someone laughing next to me and noticed that it was Blaise and Theo. I narrowed my eyes at them. "What are you laughing at?"

"Did you just seriously tell your stomach to shut up?" Theo asked grinning.

"Yeah, I do it all the time in the morning." I said yawning a bit at the end. Ugh, I need caffeine or something.

"Are you okay?" Blaise asked concerned. I shrugged.

"Yeah, my roommates just decided to literally talk all night so I couldn't get any sleep." I said sighing. "I'm this close to just going to Professor Flitwick and ask him how to do the Silencing Charm or something."

"There's a charm for that?" Theo asked wide-eyed. Oh yeah, that doesn't happen until like fifth year or something. Oops.

"Yeah, Professor McGonagall had an old charms book and I thought it was interesting." I said shrugging. Charms is my favorite class so far. We sat down with Shay, Hannah, and Susan.

"Good morning!" Shay greeted me, cheerfully. I just yawned my way through my greeting.

"What's got you so chipper this morning?" Theo asked curiously.

"We had flying lessons yesterday and Madam Hooch said I was a natural!" Shay said proudly. "She said that she would allow me to be on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, but Professor Sprout has to check for openings and my schedule so that I don't put too much pressure on myself." I smiled.

"Congratulations." I was kind of envious of her, but I wasn't going to admit it out loud. "So when do you talk to her?"

"She said after Transfigurations would be fine, since lunch is after that." Shay said still smiling. I yawned again. "What's with you?".

"Roommates," I groaned. She nodded.

"I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do about it." She said frowning. I smiled.

"Thanks, but I'll survive this somehow. I'm not just going to lay down and take it." I said starting to get an idea for a prank. I'll need to ask Fred and George for an opinion but it just might work.

"What are you thinking?" Theo asked frowning.

"Oh just the perfect prank to play on my roommates." I said smirking. "They won't know what hit them." I sighed. "But first I have to get through Herbology." Shay giggled.

"You really don't like that class do you?" She said smiling at me.

"Not at all." I said shaking my head. "I'm just glad I don't have Double Herbology ever."

"Is there a class that you actually look forward to?" Shay asked rolling her eyes.

"Yeah, Charms." I said smiling. "That's my favorite."

"Oh, we have that today." Hannah said looking at her schedule. "Is Professor Flitwick a good teacher?"

"Oh, he's the best!" Blaise said brightly. "We had him 5th hour yesterday."

"Yeah, he's super nice too." I said smiling.

"Good, I'm ready for a class that's not boring." Shay said sighing.

"History of Magic?" I asked.

"Yep," Hannah said shaking her head. "We had to doodle to keep ourselves from falling asleep."

"I have him today too." I said sighing. "I'm definitely going to fall asleep in class today." It's going to be harder to stay awake with how tired I am right now.

"When are flying lessons for you?" Shay asked me.

"Hm, I think it's this Thursday. I'm looking forward to it." I said smiling.

"If you're good at flying, are you going to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team?" Blaise asked me curiously.

"Yeah, I might." I said thoughtfully. Hopefully Flint isn't too much of a jerk. "I'll probably be on reserve or something." I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"I guess you'll find out when it comes to tryouts." Theo said shrugging.

"Gee, thanks," I said sarcastically and rolling my eyes. He just grinned at me. The  bell rang and I groaned. "Off to my FAVORITE subject." I grumbled before getting up. Professor Sprout, I think, has taken pity on me. I thought later on in the middle of class. I've messed up, what forty times already? Yeah, I think she's just going to give me a lot of paperwork assignments and just pass me on those or something. I mean, I can do it textbook style. That's easier for me to understand it. Professor Sprout actually pulled me aside and  told me that it would be easier for me to just do a bunch of essays for her class instead of actually attending to plants. I agreed with her because I do not have a green thumb whatsoever. That's how she became one of my favorite teachers. So Herbology didn't turn out to be so bad after all. I thought grinning as I walked to History of Magic. I ran into the twins along the way and they were headed off to Transfigurations.

"Hey, Pyper, how was Herbology?" Fred asked grinning. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, needless to say, if I were graded on how well I interacted with the plants, I'd get a 'P'." I said sighing. George snickered. "Luckily for me though, Professor Sprout has taken pity on me and is just going to give me book work instead." The two made a face at that. "Now, as dull as that sounds, I'm okay with it as long as it will help me pass the class." I said shrugging.

"Well, I guess if you pass then that's fine." George said shrugging.

"Oh yeah, what do you guys have after Transfigurations?" I asked, remembering my prank idea.

"Lunch and then we have a break, why?" The two asked curiously.

"Good, because I need your opinions on a prank I plan to pull on my roommates." I said smirking.

"Okay, where do you want to meet?" Fred asked as he and George grinned.

"How about in the library?" I wasn't sure about what would be a good place to meet up at, unless we went into the Room of Requirements? "Ooh, I have a better idea! Just meet me up on the seventh floor near your common room!" The two looked very confused but agreed. Yay! Now I get to have my revenge!
