Reality Bites Harry Potter

It's progress I guess

Running into Fred might possibly be the best klutz move I've made in my life. "Hey, Shay! You ok? Hey, that rhymes!" he chuckles. "Yeah, just a klutz sorry" I giggle and he smiles at me. "No worries, love. Stability isn't one of your better qualities anyways" he teases and I blush. "It's ok I will always be here to catch you" he teases, smirking before walking away. I take a minute to catch my breath, trying to convince myself that just happened. "You look weird are you ok?" George asks, snapping me back to reality. "I don't look weird, you jerk!" I yell, stomping off. "Guess that means you're ok" he yells after me and I roll my eyes. "I'm fine" I say back and he follows after me. "Have you seen Fred? We had plans" he says and I nod. "He went that way" I say, pointing in the opposite direction. George smiles, heading in the wrong direction. I roll my eyes. "What. An. Idiot." I say, smirking as I head towards the library. "Who's an idiot?" I hear a voice behind me and I freeze, turning around. "Fred! Hi! I was just talking about Theo. You know he found out my sister liked him today and he ran away! What kind of idiot runs away?" He smirks. "Kind of like how you ran away? I might have heard the whole thing" he says and I sigh. "Did everyone listen to our private sister chat?! Seriously!" I grumble. He chuckles. "You were kind of yelling in the hallway. Not exactly private, love" he teases. I blush. "Stop with the pet names. It makes me forget my argument" I mumble. He smirks again. "Cute" he says before leaving again. "Now I'm gonna be late for class. Whatever will I do?" he teases as he leaves. I giggle, making my way towards the library. I hear a hushed conversation and I decide to listen in. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn, seeing the other Gingerpuffs. I put my finger to my lips and continue listening. "I don't know what was in that bag but it was weird, guys. I've never seen so many secrets in my life" Harry says in a hushed voice to Ron and Hermione and I see Hermione make a face. "Whatever it is I'm sure there's a reason Hagrid and Dumbledore wanted it hidden" she says and Ron looks at her like she's stupid. "You aren't the least bit curious? Whatever was in vault 317 is now in the third corridor and I want to see what it is" Ron says and Harry nods. Hannah hits my arm, giving me a look. "I'm heading to the library to see what you can find out about the third corridor. Why don't you try to see what all you can learn from the Golden Trio" I whisper and both girls nod. I head off, hoping my sister is there. I get there and I am excited to see a group. "Hey, guys!"I say, coming to stand behind them. "What are you talking about?" Pyper turns around and frowns at me."Oh so the minute everything is fine, you come back." she says, rolling her eyes at me. I frown at her. "I'm sorry, okay? It's not my fault he decided to follow us." I say, crossing my arms."It's not like I did it on purpose." Theo said frowning. "I needed to go up to get something from my room. Besides, I didn't mean to listen..." "I just said I'm not mad at you." Pyper said, rolling her eyes at him. "But you're mad at me?" I say, putting my hands on my hips. "No, I'm annoyed, but it's done and over with." she said sighing. I sigh."Anyways, Hannah, Susan, and I overheard the Golden Trio talking about something interesting." I  say, grinning. "What kind of interesting?" Pyper asked curiously. "Does a certain vault ring any bells?" I say, smirking. Pyper gasps. "Already!?"she says and I nod.  "Yeah, I just thought you ought to know."  I say in a fake British accent, making Pyper giggle. I loved having inside jokes with her. "Well, things are about to get more interesting around here." Pyper said grinning and I nod.  "What are you two talking about?" Theo asked, looking confused. "I promise everything will be explained by the end of the year." Pyper said and he still looks confused but nods. "Anyways, Hannah, Susan, and I were thinking of checking it out ourselves." I said excitedly. "And since you're an honorary Gingerpuff by default, you're invited to come along with us." I tell Pyper and she grins. "Awesome!" she cheer and Theo looks upset. "Now I'm curious, what's going on?" Theo asked pouting a bit. Pyper and I shared a look before she nodded to me. "Okay, so the Golden Trio were talking about some secret bag Hagrid got when he took Harry to Gringotts. Said it was Hogwarts business but Harry thought it was really weird. Anyways, they found out that it's being kept in the third corridor here at Hogwarts. AKA the one part of the entire building we are forbidden to go. Needless to say, we are going" I say, smirking. "I want to go," Theo muttered, looking jealous. "Well, I guess it's only fair since we're talking about it in front of you." I say, shrugging. "Blaise will be so mad if he finds out." Pyper said snickering. "Yeah, if we do tell him, he'll want to come." Theo said rolling his eyes. "For our sake, I hope we don't get caught." Pyper said grimacing. "Professor Snape definitely isn't the kind of person to show mercy towards his students when they volunteer to do stupid stuff." "Yeah, you've got a point there." Theo said shuddering. "Great! I'll tell the girls and we can talk about it over dinner tonight!" I say, skipping off. I head to the common room, excited to see the girls already there. "We didn't learn anything cuz Hermione is paranoid" Hannah sighs and I nod. "That's ok. We have a plan to make  before dinner" I giggle. The girls smile at me. "Challenge accepted"
