Reading in the Dorm

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

Ali sat there on her bed in the girl's dormitory in the ravenclaw tower. She was sitting cross leged on the bed, reading a big,thick,black,leatherbound book. It was full of things about dangerous things aurors did, and what they had to do to pass there tests to become aurors. One needs to be able to transfigurate them selfs accuratley. "got that easy."She said, her hair color changing from brown to black. Apparating is a must. "e-asy" She said with great satisfaction. She was reading on and on, paying no attention that she was missing her herbology class.

Jay walked back into the dormitory, smiling happy to herself. A very odd thing had just happened: She had done well enough in class to be excused from homework, and she was allowed to leave class early. She had no idea what her professor wwas thinking, but that was beside the point. She glanced up when she heard the page of a book flip, and saw that Ali was still in the dormitory. "Didn't you have Herbology?" she asked.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

Ali sighed lazily. "ya, I suppose so."she said,flipping another page, looking at a picture of a famous auror who died from the avada kadavra curse.

[Jay]

"And you didn't go because...?" Jay asked, sitting on her bed. Her caat Freckles was laying on her pillow, and when he saw that she was back he got up, stratched, and padded over to sit on her lap. "After all, won't they wonder where you were?" She couldn't help but asking, glancing up to look at Ali with curious violet eyes.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

"yeah,I guess so. I dont need herbology anyway. I wanted it to be a free period but My teachers said i needed to take it anyways. I already know the crap anyway. Why learn it agian."Ali said turning the page again with a sigh, looking ata moving picture of someone performing the crutacious curse,and the other blocking it.

[Jay]

"Because you might learn something new?" Jay offered as a reason for actually attending class. "Or maybe because it would look better on an application?" She sighed, looking down and scratching Freckle's mutli colored ears, hearing him purr happily on her lap.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

Ali rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Well why arent you in class, instead of psetering me about not being in one"

[Jay]

Jay sighed. "I got let out early, and I don't have to do the assignment. I don't know why McGonigal did that, but I'm just glad I got out of class early." she explained, listening as Freckles purred. That's how he'd earned the nickname motor boat from her parents, he purred so loudly that he sounded like a motor boat. "Uh, when's our next Quiditch practice anyways?'" she asked sudddenly.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

"oh, well goody dooo for youu."Ali said, then laughed. "sorry."Ali looked at her. "I think its next friday."

[Jay]

"Friday, got it. Don't we have a game Saturday against Slytherin? Or is that next Saturday?" JAy asked. Her talk with Harry was confusing her as to what her schedule was. She reached over for a book on her nightstand, opening to the page she'd left off on. 'Yeah, like I'll be following Harry Potter to get the Snitch. There's no way I'm going to lose to someone in Gryffindor! Especially that brat!' she thought, frowning.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

"um i think its next saturday. Dont you have a schedule?"Ali asked, then shrugged. "or have you been confused by Potter?"

[Jay]

"The second one." Jay said simply. She still was mad at herself for not hitting him or at least threatening him. There was no way on earth that she was going to lose to him during a Quiditch game. She was faster, she had better eye sight (The fact that she didn't wear glasses proved that), and to top it off, she was more stubborn and deterined to win.

[.:.Hermione.:.Ron.:.]

Ali smirked. "thought so."she said as she looked down at her book again.
