First came Luna, followed by Romilda, Justin who was panting hard, Hannah, And Terry Bringing up the rear.
“Alright then,” Peeves stopped in the middle of the hall and floated there. “You” he pointed at Seamus who promptly dropped half the stuff he was carrying. “Get 10 points for coming in first,” “you” he turned towards me “5 for second.” “And you” he turned again on the spot to face Draco “Get 1 for third. The rest of you, you get nothing” He said and ripped the list out of Romilda’s hand.
“Alright, you get 5 points per item” he looked down the list, “Who has a rememberall?” Seamus who had lain his stuff out across the floor, Now picked up a small glass ball filled with red smoke, “S’pose it means I forgot a hula-hoop, but I skipped that one” He said.
Peeves looked around at the rest of us, “Off to a bad start eh? OK” he looked down Romilda’s list again “A tie?” My hand (holding Draco’s tie) shot into the air, Draco glared at it for a moment, pulled off mine and smiled.
Terry pulled one from the pile at his feet, Luna removed a second tie from around her neck, Justin dropped everything and dug it out and Hannah Turned on the spot “he should be here!” Terry looked disconcerted “Who?” Ernie Macmillan came around the corner lugging a huge pink tote bag, “answer your question?” He groaned, Draco burst out laughing. Hannah skipped over and pulled a green and brown tie out. Justin jumped at the sight of it “Hey! That’s mine!”
Peeves drew the attention back his way by blowing a raspberry “Toads?” Draco, Justin, Seamus, Hannah, and I each held up a toad, Romilda announced that she had found a toad but refused to touch it. “Oooh this one’s my favorite!” said Peeves “your potions?” Everyone had gotten one of these.
“Don’t put those away you’ll need ‘em. Quill?” Once again we all had one,
“Hula-hoop?” Only Justin and I for this one.
“Pencil sharpener?” Peeves sounded bored now, I alone held out a pencil sharpener.
“A pumpkin...” Peeves droned on,
“...Crystal ball...” if possible Peeves sounded more bored than I felt,
“...Chocolate frog...” A ghost passed through the far wall,
“...Left shoe...” Everyone’s gonna have the easy stuff,
“...And shampoo.” I handed mine to Peeves “ooh it smells like a smoothie 3 extra points”
Romilda Scoffed at this.
“OK! Everyone still have your potions?” Suddenly Peeves had excitement in his voice, “Trade with the other student from your house”
he looked like he might explode if he had to hold it in any longer…
check back for part 3! i'll post it tomorrow!
