Chapter Twelve - An Excellent Year

Melanie's jaw dropped almost to the floor, and Bella looked totally and completely shocked. Indie nodded, her eyes googling now, at the fact she had juicy gossip her sisters didn't know about. But, then again, she always had some gossip they would never know.
"I know right, how great is that?" Indie exclaimed, genuinely excited for both Hermione and her brother, "Now at least miss Mama won't have a hissy fit whenever he brings his girl home."
Melanie scoffed, and rolled her eyes.
"Yeh, but it's Hermione," Melanie insisted, "Queen of Dorkville, population, her!"
Bella gasped, slapping her older sister on the arm.
"Don't be nasty to her, she's nice!" Bella cried, glaring at Melanie.
Indie nodded in a huff of agreement, "Yeh, she helps us not fail our exams, and she is actually not as bad as she used to be."
Melanie rolled her eyes and groaned, crossing her arms and dragging her feet behind her as they continued on toward Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.
"C'mon, Mel, give her a chance!" Indie said, "she totally likes him, and..."
Turning to look at Anton, and taking a seat alongside Melanie and Bella at a table, she closed her eyes, and her expression went blank.

Creeping slowly into Anton's mind, she listened closely, staying on the outside of his barriers, so she could listen without being caught.
He was happily talking with Hermione about the new school term (of course...) but not actually about school work, moreso about....the other issue.
Yeh, cos i need to hear more about stupid Mouldy Wart, she thought to herself, before tuning in on Anton.
"You-Know-Who isn't going to try anything this year," Anton said, "he's been out for too long, he needs to plan things."
Hermione sighed, looking at her hands on the table.
"I suppose you're right," she said, "but still, I can't bear to think of what will happen to poor Harry if he tries anything. It could very well break him, after Cedric..."
"Harry will be fine," Anton added, "he's got my sister looking out for him."
And you've got me, Anton thought, as he sighed aloud, and continued talking to Hermione.

With that, Indie slipped back into consciousness and smiled brightly.
"Oh my my my, this is going to be an excellent year!"

Hello Kae. You had me scared! But, you judge yourself too harshly, the post was great!
Melanie needs to lighten up on Hermione, and give her a chance to be normal. It could happen right? I mean especially with the chemestry between her and Anton. And I loved this line! This line ^ sounds like she's been taking lessons from Peeves! I hope so. Great post Kae! Don't be afraid to write off the top of your head if you need to again. You do a very good job of it. I'll be watching for your next!

thanks connie!!! im on spring break right now, so i should hopefully get a few more posts done

glad you liked the 'Mouldy Wart' nickname for You-Know-Who!! i thought of it ages ago, but couldn't think of a perfect place to use it, and that was it!!

and here's a new chapter!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Chapter Thirteen - Annoying Little Gingers vs Cute Little Blondes


"Seriously Melanie," Indie insisted, "Hermione likes Anton, and he likes her back!"
It was really frustrating having a stubborn sister...
"I don't know where you're getting this from, but Anton does not like -"
"Who don't I like?" Anton piped up, as he leaned against Indie and Bella's chairs, putting his head into his sisters' conversation.
"Viktor Krum," Bella cried, "because he's better than the England seeker..."
Indie rolled her eyes; Bella wasn't exactly subtle when it came to covering up.
Anton smirked, nodding gently.
"Yeh, you're right, I don't like Krum," he began, "because he's cocky, annoying and he keeps writing to...."
He broke off before he could finish the sentence, turning a noticeable shade of pink.
"Ahem, ahem..." he loudly cleared his throat, before talking again, "anyways, Mum wants us to head to Flourish and Blotts now while there's not many people there."
He walked away briskly, leaving his three sisters behind to finish their sundaes.
Bella and Indie were giggling quietly, while Melanie's mouth hung open slightly, as she too began to giggle.
Indie paused, before pointing a finger between her sisters;
"I told you so!"

* * *

As they walked out of Flourish and Blotts, several books under their arms, Bella, Indie and Melanie were quietly talking to one another, before they met up with the rest of the gang. Melanie headed over to Paul, Fred and George, while Bella branched off to speak to her mother. Indie veered off toward Harry, Ron, Hermione and...Ginny.
If it weren't for Ginny, it might have been easy to start to talk to the others, but the ginger-haired girl was making it difficult.
"Hey, Hermione -"
"Oh, sorry, Hermione's talking to Ron right now, but I'll tell her you wanted her, okay?" Ginny said sarcastically, a quick, nasty smile following as she turned back to the group.
Indie stepped back; she was used to Ginny not liking her, but it wasn't often she was that rude. Perhaps she was still hooked on the idea that Indie apparently liked Harry.
Pfft, yeh, like that would happen, Indie thought, as she walked on alone. That was, until a finger poked into her side, and she abruptly squealed and jumped a mile.
"Hey Bonkers, how's it going?" Tonks said, smiling as she put an arm around Indie's shoulders and continued walking with her.
"I'm over this," she said, "I'm over feeling really happy, then letting cranky, jealous, puny little gingers ruin my day!"
Tonks raised an eyebrow.
"Ginny?" she asked.
"You bet."
"Harry?"
"Ah-huh."
"Again?"
"Yep."
"Want me to hex her?"
"Ye- No!"
Tonks laughed, causing Indie to smile.
"You nearly said yes!" Tonks said, laughing, although Indie could still see the hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"Yes, but I don't want her to get hurt because of my hate for her," Indie said, "I'm not going to stoop to her level. But I tell ya, she lays a hex on me...bang, ZOOM!"
She demonstrated her actions with her hands, before laughing along with Tonks.
"It's okay, I know for a fact, that Ginny is in for a spot of disappointment in the 'Harry' category," Tonks said, her dark eyes glinting in the midday sun.
"Serves her - wait, what?" Indie nearly fell over in shock.
"You heard me, Harry doesn't have a thing for annoying little gingers," Tonks said, wandering off toward Lupin.
Indie could definitely say she was shocked, and definitely happy that Harry didn't like Ginny, since that would show Ginny up. But there was another reason, one she couldn't quite put her finger on.
"Hey there sis, what's up?" Bella exclaimed, her arm around Indie's shoulder, and Indie's around Bella's waist as she walked longside her.
"Ginny is in for some major disappointment," Indie said, an evil glint in her eye now.
Bella stopped, and furrowed her brow, "What makes you say that?"
Indie shrugged, as she shook her head and watched her feet, before looking back up again.
"A little birdy told me Harry Potter doesn't have a thing for annoying little gingers," Indie said excitedly (though maybe a little too overexcited).
Bella laughed quietly.
"Well, a little birdy told me he does have a thing with cute little blondes who are more than meets the eye," Bella added slyly, as she let go of Indie and began skipping ahead.
"Wait, Bella! What do you mean?!!?" Indie cried, her smile difficult to hide, but she managed to keep her composure for the moment.
"You heard me," Bella said, looking back at Indie, as she continued walking backwards.

"It looks like Hermione and Anton aren't going to be the only new cute couple this year!"

Hello Kae. I just love how you write Indie, with her brother and sisters! And I love how you're writing Ginny acting her age. I do love Ginny in the books, but I don't think JK brought her along as much as she should have. I hope Indie and Harry do become Hogwarts next cute couple.
Great post Kae, and I'll be looking forward to your next post. I hope you can post more sense it's spring break, but, please enjoy your spring break too.

thanks connie!!! im at writing a new chapter right now!!!!

Chapter Fourteen - En Route to Hogwarts!

Three more days passed quickly, amongst Mrs Weasley's adamant cleaning schedule, packing for school and searching for lost pets - Anton's snake had made an escape and frightened the life out of Mrs Weasley when she was cleaning the upstairs bathroom.
Now, they were all sitting at a cafe at King's Cross, waiting for 11 o'clock to come so they could catch the Hogwart's Express.
At the moment, it was about 10:20, and Indie was tucking into a croissant and a hot chocolate along with Bella and Melanie.
Sitting at the table nearby was Harry, Ron and Hermione, and the other table was Anton, Paul, Fred and George.
Right now, the conversations were being called out over the three tables.
"Hey guys, why don't we just push the tables together?" Indie suggested, "then we won't disturb the entire of King's Cross with our wierd conversations."
"Great idea Indie," Bella said, standing up and pulling Harry's table straight in, so that Harry and Indie would be sitting next to each other.
"Thanks, Bella," Indie said, her sarcasm unable to be missed, as Bella returned with a great big cheesy grin. Anton pulled his table in closer, with Paul, Fred and George following.
"That's better," Bella said, nodding in approval at her work before sitting down to eat the rest of her danish.
"So, Indie," Harry began, looking to Indie as she took a rather large and unladylike bite from her croissant, causing him to laugh as he spoke, "you excited to go back to Hogwarts?"
Indie, not bothering to swallow her croissant before she talked, said, "eh, i ood be ood is year."
Harry laughed a little louder this time, as Indie attempted to swallow her croissant.
"Shut up," she said after swallowing, hitting him lightly on the chest, "the croissant is good!"
"I'm sure it is," Harry said, still laughing quietly, "which is why there are still bits of it hanging off the sides of your mouth."
Harry reached up and gently removed the leftover croissant from Indie's mouth, as her cheeks turned a faint shade of red.
"Thanks, but I'm not 5 years old anymore, Harry," she said, wiping her mouth with a napkin, before turning to glare at a giggling Bella. Nobody but her had seemed to notice, aside from Ginny, who was standing with Mrs Weasley, glaring with scarlet cheeks from near the newsagency.
"Obviously you still act like a 5 year old, otherwise you wouldn't have had croissant hanging off your cheek," Harry laughed, as the clock chimed 10:45.
"Alright people, time to get going!" Tonks cried, loud enough for only the Weasleys, the Stewarts, Harry and Hermione to hear.
Mad-Eye stood up and then took charge, leaving Tonks behind in a huff.
"Right, we'll take the Stewarts and Hermione first, then Tonks will follow with Harry and the Weasleys..."
Ginny jumped at the chance, as Indie followed her brothers and sisters and Hermione to the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10, leaving Harry behind with the Weasleys.
As soon as Indie was out of earshot, Ginny walked up to Harry's side.
"Hey Harry!" she exclaimed, a bright smile on her face, "So you excited to be back at Hogwarts?"
Harry felt a little flustered by Ginny suddenly in his face, "Oh, hey Ginny, yeah, I s'pose."
He wasn't particularly in the mood for Ginny at the moment.
She laughed exuberantly and falsely, as she spoke again, "So what crazy thing do you suppose will happen this year?"
"Who knows," Harry said, shrugging unenthusiastically, "something dramatic I suppose."
"Alright, Harry, Weasleys, let's go!" Tonks called, as she led the rest of the magical group to the barrier, and allowing them to pass through onto Platform 9 3/4.
Harry managed to get away from Ginny for the moment, and boarded the train, easily finding Indie, Bella, Anton and Hermione, who had claimed the largest compartment on the train.
"Excellent," Harry said, followed closely by Ron, as they both sat down, and took up their space.
"Here's to another year at Hogwarts!" Indie exclaimed, as the compartment let out a cheer.
The train's whistle blew outside, and before they knew it, they were en route to Hogwarts.

so guys, a new chapter will be coming asap!!!! promise, just at cheer nationals atm, so talk to you all soon!!! xx

Hello Kae. I will start off saying I LOVE this post! All of it was very well written, but this is my favorite part: I laughed till I had tears running down my face. So good!
Although I love Harry/Ginny ship, and I do feel sorry for Ginny here, but, Harry is so much well suited for Indie. Adding stuff like this, ^ makes the story so real. Well written, all of it. I'll be watching for your next notice.

today's special: a brand new chapter with a side of love, comedy and dripping with sarcasm!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter Fifteen - Hogsmeade Station Hiccup

The train ride had been going on for about an hour now, but Indie hadn't noticed; life in the carriage was flying quickly.
"What about when Ron got attacked by that Doxy in the lounge room..."
"Or when Hermione got like, five, stuck in her hair...?"
"And then Indie dived on Harry!"
The last one made everyone dive into an awkward silence, Bella clearing her throat loudly, attempting to save her blushing sister from embarrassment.
"Say Indie, wanna go find the trolley? I'm starved!" Bella exclaimed, standing up and grabbing her purse.
"Sure," Indie cried, standing up instantly, "Mel, come with us!"
Melanie groaned loudly, but obliged anyways, as her rumbling stomach made her want to stand up.
"Only if you shout me a packet of Bertie's!" she said, as she followed her two younger sisters out of the carriage.
Once they were out of hearing distance, Bella grabbed Indie's arm, bouncing up and down on the spot in excitement.
"Oh my golly gosh; Indiana Maree Stewart!" Bella cried, "Did you not see that?!?! Harry could not stop smiling and looking at you that whole time!"
Indie laughed, her cheeks a tad pinker than they were a moment ago.
"Seriously, Bella, I don't think it's going to happen," she said, "we've both got a lot of things on our minds, besides, as if Little Miss Ginger is going to let that happen."
Bella groaned loud enough, people inside the carriage next to her gave them a puzzled look.
"Indie! Come ON!" she whined, pulling her sister's hand, "You have to promise me that if he asks you, the answer will be yes!"
Indie hesitated, looking up and twiddling her thumbs.
"Weeeeeeeeell..........."
"INDIE!!"
"Fine!" Indie agreed to her sister's whine.
"Oh my god, get over it!" Melanie exclaimed, "Seriously, I'm sick of hearing about how much Indie and Harry apparently love each other! I just want a packet of Bertie's, and I'm not paying after this!"
Indie and Bella rolled their eyes; their older sister was under the impression she was more mature than them, and was really no fun anymore.
"Well, at least we don't act like we hate funny guys, just because we can't pick a twin!" Bella exclaimed, causing Melanie to gasp, her cheeks a fiery shade of red.
Indie and Bella stood back, holding hands and holding their free hands to their mouths to hold back laughter.
"Well, I don't need your Bertie Beans!" she cried, turning on her heel and storming off in a huff, leaving Bella and Indie laughing as the trolley approached.

* * *

The sun was going down outside, as everyone was standing up and stretching to prepare to get off at Hogsmeade.
"It really doesn't feel like we've ridden the train all the way to Hogwarts," Bella said, as she pulled her coat from her waist and put it on.
"I know!" Hermione exclaimed, Anton nodding as well, "It really didn't feel as long this year!"
"Bloody hell!" Ron cried, as he lifted jumpers and bags, in search of....something!
Bella sighed, as she walked up to Ron, "What have you lost now?" she asked, "At least you can't lose Scabbers anymore..."
"I can't find my wand," he said, "It fell out of my pocket...I think."
"Honestly, Ronald," Hermione scolded, "you ought to take better care of your things!"
"Oh shut it, Hermione!"
"At least I don't lose my wand!"
"At least I don't act like a know-it-all, all the time!"
"Stop!"
Anton's voice broke the argument, as he held a small, wooden item in his hand; Ron's wand!
Sighing in relief, Ron rushed over and took it from the blonde-haired boy.
"Thanks mate, saved me from a Howler there!" he said, laughing and patting Anton on the back.
Anton smiled, as he began to make his way off the train, most of the group following along, chatting incoherently.
They stood on the platform for several moments, as the first years cleared away, then the younger years as well, before it was only them and a few prefects left on the platform.
Laughing, they all headed toward the carriages, which appeared to be pulling themselves. Although, Harry begged to differ.
"What are they?" he asked, being met with confused looks from everybody around him.
Hermione stepped forward, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"There's nothing pulling the carriage, Harry," Hermione said, "it's pulling itself, like always."
A moment of silence passed, as Harry gazed at the black skeletal horse it seemed only he could see.
"They're called Thestrals," came a light, airy voice from the carriage. A pale, blonde, surprised looking girl lowered an upside down magazine to show her face to the group.
"Not everybody can see them," she said, "only those who have -"
A blood-curling scream cut across the girl before she could finish her sentence, as every head turned back toward Hogsmeade station, where they had just been.
Everyone's eyes were wide, as Bella's bag hit the ground at about the same time as her jaw. Another scream broke the night silence, as Bella awoke from her stupor and turned a pasty white, her scream as loud and fearful as the one just heard.

"INDIE!!!!!"

Hello Kae. It's everything you said it would be. Except you neglected to tell us one thing. Yep, I'm sure you said nothing about a cliff hanger ending.
Great post Kae. I did enjoy all of it. I bet the scene with the Doxys was something fun to see. I'd love to have been there and seen this myself. I love how honest Harry is with his feelings. He never tries to hide them. And I'm so happy he's happy. He had a rough summer. I love the sisters bickering. Melanie thinks she's so much more mature and above them now, but then Bella puts her in her place when she says: That was wonderful!
And then the afore mentioned: Was there a toad faced woman sighting?!Sorry, it's just this is the year we have to deal with her, and I have no love for her! But, seriously! What happened!? I hope you can post really soon! I must not be kept waiting. I'm not very patient with cliff hangers. I'm teasing of course, but I do look froward to reading the next post. I do hope it can be soon. Great post Kae.

thanks connie!!!!!

another chapter tonight

And our story continues.......

Chapter Sixteen - Dark and Mysterious

"Bella, STOP!" Anton cried, as he ran after his sister, weaving in and out of trees and jumping over puddles of mud.
"INDIANA!" Bella cried, her panting and sobbing getting louder as she got closer to Hogsmeade.
Melanie was close behind Anton, practically on his heels, wand at the ready.
"Anton, you're the fastest runner!" Melanie yelled, "Go and get help! I'll get Bella!"
Anton froze in his spot, and nodded quickly at Melanie, his eyes wild with fear and fury, as he ran back toward Hogwarts.
Melanie continued to race after her younger sister, another scream making itself heard, as Bella skidded to a stop at the platform, her body frozen.
Melanie sped up before halting just beside Bella, her brown eyes widening in fear.
Crumpled on the ground was a trembling Indie, curled into a ball shaking uncontrollably, as a black, cloaked figure moved swiftly along the platform into the dark.
"COME BACK HERE, DEATH EATER!" Bella shrieked, as she sprinted toward the masked madman, leaving Melanie to drop by Indie's side.
Spluttering, Indie opened her mouth to speak.
"Don't -- let -- her -- go!" she rasped, reaching out toward her sister, as she ran after the Death Eater into the forest nearby.
"But, Indie -"
"No," she demanded, coughing, "Get - Bella...now!"
"She's too far away, Indie," Melanie cried, the tears spilling now, as she was forced to choose between her two sisters.
Indie shook her head, her panting growing more intense, as her eyes found it harder to stay open.
At that instant, Harry and George turned the corner, Harry sliding to his knees beside Indie and Melanie.
"Where's Bella?" Harry asked, his eyes wide also, as a bright, green light lit up the sky above the forest, showering the platform in an evil glow.
Melanie, not thinking, jumped from her spot, sprinting headlong into the forest, closely followed by George.
Harry, left beside Indie, watched as Melanie and George disappeared into the forest, and a cloaked man made his way slowly toward the two fifth years. Indie began whimpering in fear, before going blank.
"Indie!" Harry exclaimed, as he nudged gently on her shoulder, before pulling out his wand, and standing, prepared to face the unknown evil.
"No, Harry," said a female voice in his head, startling him, but making him stop, "I've got it under control."
A moment later, the figure turned around, and disappeared into thin air, leaving Harry startled, though relieved.
At that moment, he realised the voice in his head was Indie, and felt even better when he saw Bella, Melanie and George walking back toward him along Hogsmeade platform.
"Harry..." Indie spluttered, as she coughed from where she lay, causing Harry to turn quickly. Unable to stay conscious, she allowed her eyelids to flutter closed, her breathing becoming shallow and difficult. Rushing over, Harry began to pick Indie up as the other three arrived, as did Anton, Hermione and Ron, along with Hagrid.
"Blimey!" exclaimed the giant, "Wha' 'appened 'ere?"
"Nobody knows," Melanie said.
"But we need to get Indie to the Hospital Wing, now!" Bella cried, her face blotched with tears and still pasty with fear.
"Yer not wrong there, Bella!" Hagrid agreed, taking Indie from Harry, the blonde Gryffindor appearing tiny in his arms.
"Come on then, all the security checks are done, yeh'll have teh miss the sortin' an' all -"
"Less talk, more walk, Hagrid," Harry demanded, as he followed Hagrid and the others up to the castle.
Walking beside a teary Bella, Harry grabbed her hand quickly, her head turning to look at him, her eyes red.
"Don't worry, Bella," Harry said, "she's strong, your sister..."
Bella attempted a smile, but it came out more like a grimace, as Harry continued, giving a smile in Bella's direction.

"Indie's going to be okay."

Hello Kae. How good of you! Thank you! It's a great chapter Kae. Very well written. Will we find out who the death eater was? Did Indie see him/her? Is it the Cruciatis Curse that hit her? Poor Indie! And poor Bella having to choose which sister to help. But she did right staying with Indie. On another note, I bet we know which twin Melanie ends up choosing. And I bet Harry was adorable carrying Indie. He's not very big himself, but I know people get an inner strength when they find they need it. Sure hope Indie is going to be ok.
Great post Kae. Thank you for getting another one up so quickly. Are you perchance on a roll, and have time to put up another one? See what happens when you're generous? You give an inch, and a mile is taken. Terrific writing Kae. I'll be watching for your next.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Chapter Seventeen - Purple Monkey Boxers...

Indie awoke abruptly, looking around to realise she was in the hospital wing. It was early morning, as the light was fairly dim outside and it had already been dark when they arrived last night. She rolled over as the clock chimed three times, and sighed. She was so wide awake for it being so early in the morning. Remembering last night, she must have fallen asleep well before dinner. Perhaps that's why her stomach was rumbling...
It was that thought which accompanied her into another slumber, awaking hours later to sunshine and several faces gazing worriedly at her or those around her.
"Indie?" came Hermione's quiet voice, as she felt a light squeeze on her hand. It felt larger than Hermione's, and coarser, and Indie soon realised it was Harry's.
"She's awake," Harry murmured excitedly under his breath, sqeezing Indie's hand just a little bit harder.
Rubbing her eye gently with her free hand, she noticed she had quite an audience. Her siblings were there, minus Anton, Harry, Ron and Hermione also making an appearance.
"Yes, I'm awake," she murmured, "at a much nicer hour than last time..."
Yawning, she was met with several low laughs.
"How are you feeling?" Bella asked, sitting down in the chair beside Indie's bed.
Sighing, yet again, she shrugged, "Bit sore, I guess, but other than that fine."
"Really? We thought you'd be hungry too...but, bright side..." Harry leant over and lifted an empty plate up to show Indie, "Ron didn't let them go to waste."
Laughter accompanied a blushing Ron, as Indie shook her head.
"Ronald!" she cried, "I went to sleep without dinner! Of course I'm hungry, you pumpkin!"
Sitting up straighter to laughter, and feeling more awake now she'd cracked a few jokes, she searched the room for Madam Pomfrey.
"If you're looking for Madam Pomfrey, she's gone to lunch," Anton said, as he wandered into the room, "but me, being your caring and amazing brother, brought you a chicken and avacodo wrap, light on the mayo, heavy on the cheese and toasted."
Indie's eyes immediately lit up, as she reached her arms out like a child.
"Gimme gimme gimme!" cried the starving blonde, as she snatched her lunch from Anton's hand and began eating, a euphoric look taking over her face the minute she took a bite.
Anton smirked, "You're welcome!"
Her mouth full, she tried to speak, looking extremely lady-like in the process...not!
"'Ank 'oo An'on!"
Before anyone could laugh or make a sound, Madam Pomfrey came whizzing in, her face flustered.
"No, no, no, no, no, this cannot happen!" she cried, pushing herself between those standing around Indie, "There cannot be this many people here at once!"
Almost instantly, there was a new voice in the room, a quieter and gentler one.
"It's alright, Poppy," Professor Dumbledore said, making his entrance known as he stood at the foot of Indie's bed, "I do believe Indie is well enough to leave the Hospital Wing, and our company, for now. Until, of course, I wish to speak to her again, for which I will send word."
Indie sent a smile to Professor Dumbledore, as she began to pull her hair into a ponytail.
"Now, I think we should allow her to refresh herself, and I'm sure she will explain everything at dinner tonight," continued the headmaster, as he nod his head, and bade farewell. However, not before being pursued by Harry, whom was ignored.
"It's alright Harry, I'll work him out later," she said, before stopping, looking at everyone in turn, "alright guys, seriously, I'm not getting changed until you all leave..."
She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow...

"So if you wanted to see my purple monkey boxers, that's just too bad!"

Hello Kae. I'm going out on a limb here, because my Grandaughter is coming, but sense she's not here yet, I'll take a chance and tell you how great your post is. I really love reading it and I do love how real you write. I'm sure I've told you that before, but, what can I say, it's the truth.
Love it love it love it. So funny! I love Dumbledore!
Great work Kae! I'll be watching for your next.

long awaited and anticipated.... new chapter!!

Chapter Eighteen - She Prefers Ginger Boys!

Changed and feeling much more awake now, Indie headed off to class after lunch. Luckily, it was Charms, a relatively easy subject, rather then Potions or History.
Everyone else had headed off earlier, while Indie was getting dressed and taking some horrible tasting medicine...
Aside from that, she felt pretty good. Except for the aching and bruises she felt all over her body. No doubt, everyone would ask her what happened last night, but right now that wasn't high on her list of things to do today.
She gave three hard knocks on the Charms room door, which swung open, all eyes on her. Clearly word of her little...adventure...last night had got out.
"Please, take a seat," Flitwick advised, as she took her usual place beside Harry and Hermione.
As the lesson continued, Indie noticed Harry tear a small piece of parchment off the bottom of his notes. After a quick scrawl, Indie found the piece of paper in front of her.

hey, how you feeling?

A small, though satisfying smile formed from Indie's lips as she wrote down a reply in her neat, curvy handwriting.

yeah, fine. just sore. and tired.

Passing it back to Harry in a subtle manner, she fiddled with the corner on her parchment, where a small heart had appeared, absent-mindedly of course.
Her very short daydream was cut even shorter by the floating parchment landing in front of Indie again.

nice meet me at the forest after Herbology later

Her smile reaching each dimple, she folded the note up and put inside her robe pocket. Finishing the notes that Flitwick had put on the board, she took out her wand, as they began to start their practical work.
Ron and Harry chose to work together, as usual, and Hermione seemed to have summoned up the guts to talk to Anton enough to be his partner. A small smirk accompanied Bella's arrival at Indie's desk.
"Partners?" she said, a bright smile on her face, as she pointed her wand at Indie's nose, causing her to become cross-eyed.
"Don't do that!" Indie cried, knocking her sister's wand away from her face, "or don't you want me to look pretty anymore?"
Laughing, Bella squeezed past Hermione's butt, and slapped Anton's jokingly out of the way, until she reached Indie.
"So, what are we doing?" Indie asked, tapping her wand on her chin, confused.
Bella shook her head, laughing under her breath.
"Indiana Stewart, you naughty, naughty girl," Bella said, "you know you ought to listen in class!"
Noticing the small, perfect love heart on the corner of Indie's parchment, Bella cocked her head and looked straight at Indie.
"Of course you could have other things on your mind....."
Indie covered the heart with another piece of parchment and looked at her feet.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said, taking up her wand, and pointing it at the small, white feather on the bench top. Without speaking, it began to float up into the air.
Apparently, their topic of the moment was non-verbal Charms.
"Oh, come on Indie!" Bella cried, "you're like a little lovesick puppy! Of the extremely cute variety!"
Smirking, Indie looked up at her sister.
"At least I'm not the only one," she said peering over Bella's shoulder at a blushing and giggling Hermione conversing with a stuttering Anton, before looking back to Bella.
"And, a little owl told me, missy Bella," she began, pointing her wand at Bella's nose now. Actually, she did look more like a fish when she was cross-eyed.

"That you prefer ginger boys!"

Chapter Nineteen – A Daydream Nightmare

As she headed out of the Charms room for lunch, it was obvious that there was lots of love in the air. She tore a sideways glance at a blushing and clumsy Anton, as Hermione walked by, a hair flick that was in no way coincidence. Bella on the other hand, bubbly, energetic and confident, was chatting away aimlessly to a slightly awkward Ron, whose cheeks now matched his hair.
On her way to the Great Hall, she noticed her oldest sister, Melanie, sitting extremely close to Fred - or was it George? - discussing something in the Daily Prophet. Tilting her head sideways, she quickly read the headline as she wandered past.

"Mass Azkaban Breakout"

A gasp escaped Indie's lips, her face turning white as her books hit the floor almost as quick as her jaw. Everything around her was blurred, except for the moving picture of waves crashing upon a huge, sea fortress. Beside it, a prison picture of a crazed woman with wild hair and eyes, screaming, showing her disgusting, yellow teeth.
Then, Hogsmeade station was suddenly in front of her, quite empty. She had left her wand behind - quite stupid having it in your back pocket really - and had gone back to get it. By the time she'd gotten to the right compartment, most of the students had left, and she found herself rushing from the train to the platform to get a carriage with at least somebody. Tripping on an untied lace on her sneaker, she was slowed even more.
A low, spine-chilling laugh caught the wind as it pushed Indie's hair off her face, allowing her to see the black cloak and wild curls heading swiftly toward her. As cold, pale hands enclosed on her shoulders, she felt a blood curling scream leave her lips, nothing she'd ever thought she could utter.
“Quiet, you stupid girl!” rasped a female voice that matched the laughter, as the hood fell away. Staring into manic, black eyes Indie kicked and fought, her wand that she’d rescued now out of her grasp. The wand of her attacker however, was aimed perfectly at her chest, as she now found herself laying panting on the cold stone of the platform.

“CRUCIO!”

Another scream, though not as loud as the first, escaped Indie. Over and over, she felt the sting of dark magic, the things around her becoming more and more faint.

“INDIE!”

The pain stopped. Just disappeared, along with its inflictor, as the crazed woman disappeared down the platform, followed by Bella. Melanie now sat beside Indie, who had nothing but Bella on her mind. She wasn’t sure why, or how, but somehow, Melanie ran after Bella, followed by George, and Harry was by her side.
Memories came flooding back. She remembered Harry’s panic, Bella’s fury and Melanie’s fear. She remembered the cold of that unknown woman, and the goosebumps left on her skin. But the thing that now clung to her, was the familiarity of the second cloaked figure. She knew him, somehow…
But, it was the hair, the eyes, the icy touch…they were the things that stuck with her from that night, as she felt herself slipping away from worried calls and crying sisters……….

“Indie!”

Harry’s slightly calmer voice snapped her out of her daydream, that seemed more like a nightmare as she remembered more of it. She felt how cold her cheeks were, how wide her eyes had gotten and that she was showing everyone her tonsils.
Grabbing the paper from Melanie’s hands, she stared at the screaming face on the right of the front page.

“I need to see Dumbledore,” she said to Harry, “I know who attacked me last night.”

As she began to walk out of the Great Hall, Harry spoke up, as he followed.

“Wait, you mean you remember?” he asked, stopping her in her tracks, as she turned to face him.

“Yes, Harry…” she began, holding up the paper so he could see too.

“And it’s NOT good!”

Hello Kae. I'm so glad you was able to write some more for us. I figured it was Bellatrix that attacked her, but, I'm wondering who the person in the cloak was.
I love the way you have with words! No, it's not good at all! But your post was. Please post as soon as you can. Happy Holidays.
