Storms Ahead

|Chapter forty : On The Spot Thinking|

"You know, if you can't think of any spells on the spot you can just jab your opponent in the eye with your wand" I shrugged from my bed, wrapped tightly in my duvet as I looked at Pansy and Daphne, both sitting with thoughtful looks on their faces

"Smart"

"Logical"

"Can I Try?"

"Sure, go and attack Daphne" I told Pansy as she jumped up from her bed happily with her wand in hand as Daphne turned to me with a look of utter disbelief on her face as I started laughing

"Amelia! No!"

"Amelia yes, come on Daphne. It won't hurt"

"You're going to jab me in the eye with your fucking wand! How will it not-? Get the fuck away from me Parkinson" Daphne told her sharply, pointing at her with her eyes narrowed while I watched amused as Pansy lunged at her, knocking her off her bed as the two started wrestling on the floor as I got up with a shake of my head as I ditched my duvet and started looking around

"Have either of you seen my housecoat?"

"What?"

"My housecoat. Have either of you seen it?"

"What's a housecoat?"

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked Daphne quietly, looking at her confused before pointing at her desk chair as she followed my gaze and looked at her housecoat I was pointing at

"That. That's a housecoat, where's mine?"

"That's not a housecoat-"

"That's called a dressing gown-"

"Ew! No! It's a housecoat!" I told the two loudly as they both stood up, shaking their heads as Daphne pulled hers on

"It's a dressing gown-"

"No! It's a housecoat because it's a coat you were in the house! Dressing gown sounds too posh and not right!" I complained as I left the dorm, running up the stairs to the common room as I clapped Blaise on the shoulders

"Ah! What do you want?!"

"Housecoat or dressing gown?!"

"Dressing gown-"

"You're an abomination-"

"Thank you-"

"Theodore? Housecoat or dressing gown?"

"Neither"

"Good enough for me. Adrian? Miles?" I asked loudly as I went over to them, leaning against the back of the couch to look at them

"Yes?"

"Housecoat or dressing gown?"

"Housecoat" they both said at the same time as a grin grew on my face and I waltzed back down to the dorm

"I have two people on my side-"

"Let us just point out that you ran into the common room in your sleepwear-"

"'Sleepwear'. Stop sounding so posh, they're called jammies"

"Excuse me?"

"Jammies" I told the two as I pointed to my shorts and vest that I was wearing as they glanced to each other before Pansy took a step towards me

"I need to ask something"

"Go on-"

"Why were you keeping these from us?!" She asked loudly as they threw a packet at me as I caught it swiftly and looked at the packet of chocolate chip cookies as I whipped my head up and stared at her

"Why were you under my bed?!"

"Because I seen them and got nosey!"

"Did you eat any?"

"No-"

"Liar"

"You got me-"

"You little shit. I'm going to have to find a new place to hide these now" I sighed as I stared at the two before shoving them into my desk drawer for quick measure

"Well only you'd be dumb enough to hide them under your bed" she laughed as I turned around and raised my eyebrows at her, resting my hands on my hips

"I'm dumb? Fine then, Pansy, why don't you tell Daphne where Dundee is?"

"Oh! I know this one! It's in Ireland, you know, by Belgium!" She told Daphne grinning as she turned her head to me slowly and I nodded with my eyebrows raised

"And she calls me dumb"
