Hogsmeade

"Sure, I have never been there before."

"Then, let's go! I go there all the time." Jessie said as she pulled Sky down the crowded street.

Sky allowed herself to be pulled by Jessie to the shreiking shack. "Wow, this place is really cool." She said as they were standing in front of it.

"Come on!" Jessie said ducking under the fence and running up towards the shrieking shack.

"So, what is there to do here? Do they sell things?" Sky asked.

Jessie laughed. "Nah, It's just an old abbandened (ok yeah, I KNOW that is spelled wrong) shack. Makes for a great hangout though." She said flinging onto an old couch.

Sky sat next to Jessie. "OOHH, I will have to take Fred here sometime, and you can bring Ron. We can have a party here!"

Jessie laughed. "Yeah, this is a great party place!" She said. "Come on, there's more rooms than just this!" Jessie said jumping up and running around the house.

"This is really cool. I like it here." Sky flopped down on an old bed in one of the rooms. "I think we should have our band practices here."

"That's a great idea!" Jessie said. "Come on, I don't know why but I always liked this room." She said opened a door to a room with peeling paint and scratches all over the walls. (Gee, I wonder why)

Sky went into the new room with Jessie. "Wow, this is really neat." She looked around. "Hey, is this where Lupin, James and Sirius used to come when they were at Hogwarts?" Sky asked.
Ron had described a place to her that was similar to what she was seeing around her.

Jess looked at Fated and then back to Turner, "Hes a prat.. what else?" She laughed a little. "HEs one of those guys all the girls love and all the guys want to be," she scowled this time, "Except me, I cant STAND him... I really think he just needs to be slapped sometimes... and I dont hesitate to do it" she giggled at the last part. "Why do you like him?" she said in a sing song voice.

(told you I'd come today, hehee )

::Noises down below the creaking floorboards of the empty lopsided room twenty year old Claire Johnson had found. She had come to the Shrieking Shack earlier that day. She had always been curious about the Shack, wondering what was inside, while at school at Hogwarts. And now, inside, Claire finally knew what was in the Shack: an unsolved mystery. Why had it been built? Why were there deep claw marks on many walls? Claire loved to think about these things, wonder what might have happened.::

::She was on the third floor of the Shack, kneeling to examine another set of claw marks. Pale fingers tracing the wounded wood on the floor stopped once she could hear the noises. Someone, or someones, were inside as well.::

::Claire stood up, careful not to make noise. Whoever else had come could be friend- or foe. She put back on her knit gloves and took her wand in her right hand, gripping it firmly. On light footsteps she made her way out the door and began down the shaky stairs to the floor where the voices were coming from, and found the room whoever was in the Shack was exploring. She peeked inside, long black braid falling over her shoulder. Two women were inside, talking cheerfully. They didn't seem to mean any harm. Claire let out the breath she realized she had been holding, very much relieved. She didn't enjoy fighting dark wizards in hand to hand, well, wand to wand, combat, prefering to plot instead.::

"Hi, I'm Claire Johnson," she said, coming into the room with a warm smile on her face. "You exploring the Shack too?"

Sky jumped at the sound of a voice she had never heard before. She looked twards the woman with the long dark hair. Eying her for a moment, Sky decided to go meet her. She walked twards her and stuck out her hand.
"Hi Claire, my name is Sky Weasley. Nice to meet you." Sky smiled.

"Just coming here for the first time. My friend Jessie told me about it."

"Nice to meet you too. It's my first time in here as well. Weasley? Which one are you married to?" Claire asked, laughing, and shook Sky's hand. "I've met most of Molly and Arthur's kids, such a lovely family."

Jessie laughed a little. "She's married to wittle Fredy-weddy." Jessie said teasing Sky. "I'm Jessie, nice to meet you." She said holding out her hand.

Sky hit Jessie on the arm. "Freddy-weddy? You weirdo!" Sky laughed. "I married Fred just yesterday! He is great, do you know him Claire?" Sky eyed Claire. "You know Arthur and Molly, are you in the order?"

"Nice to meet you too," Claire said, shaking Jessie's hand. "Congratulations!" said Claire, turning to Sky. "And yeah, I am. You?"

::She sat down near the two and crossed one of her legs over the other, glad that she had introduced herself. Not every day you meet (THE) Fred Weasley's wife and her friend. (lol, lucky!)::

Jessie laughed. "I'm the weird one?"

Sky looked at Claire. "Thanks for the congratulations! Jessie here is dating Ron at the moment. I am not in the Order yet, but I went there to talk to someone. There was something going on there so I left. "
(Not really, no one is talking to me in there now...LOL)

"Yes, I will have to agree, Jessie is the weird one." Sky smiled at her friend.

Jessie stuck her tongue out at Sky. "You're just jealous because I got the hottest Weasley!"

Sky laughed. "I honestly don't think their is a hottest Weasley. They are all gorgous!!"

"Agreed." Jessie nodded. "So, Claire, any ideas on why the heck this shack is here?" Jessie asked.

"Not really. Curious about all of the scratches everywhere though," said Claire. "And I do agree, all of the Weasley's are hot," she added with a laugh.

"Yes and No. Yes, the Weasley's are hott, but I don't think it was Crucios." Jessie said looking around the room.

"I know why the room is like this." Sky told them. "I was told by someone, but I am not sure I should let the information get around."

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee" Jessie said with puppy dog eyes.

Sky sighed. "OK, but I do not want this repeated.
"Remus Lupin is a werewolf as we all know. Back when he was at Hogwarts with Peter Pettigrew, James Potter and Sirius Black he used to come here, with them when it was time for him to transform into a werewolf. Black, Potter and Pettigrew got animagus training and were allowed to be animagus's. They would sneak out of Hogwarts in their forms with Lupin and bring him here. The scratches on the wall are from Lupin in his werewolf state. Dumbledore and a few other professor's planted the whomping willow to keep people away from a secret passage into this place. The 4 friends knew how to stop the willow from attacking and slipped through the passage to come here. This had to be done if Lupin was going to be able to attend school.
I have never been here myself and I played dumb when Jessie mentioned coming here. That's the story, and I am assuming it got it's name the shrieking shack because of all the sounds that would come out of here, being there was a werewolf."

Sky sat down on the bed. She was nervous about telling them this.

"That explains alot!" Jessie said plopping down next to Sky. "I sitll think this place is cool." She said shrugging.

"Yes, I really like it here. And it's so quiet. Not too many people I bet would dare to come in here." Sky told Jessie.

"Yeah, me and my brother used to come down here all the time." Jessie said. "Awesome place for parties."

"I bet it is. So, what do you want to do?" Sky asked.

(love your avvie)

(thanks, it's supposed to blink... but it's not *tear*)

"Hmm, Dunno." Jessie said shrugging. "What about you Claire?" She asked.

::Wow, that did explain everything, thought Claire.::

"Hmm...Well, it seems that you two know all about this place. Whatever you'd like to do. Hope you don't mind me being here," she said, smiling nervously.::

"Nahh, we don't mind at all!" Jessie said. "Pop-a-squat." She said. " So, what should we do?"

"Let's sing!" said Claire jokingly. (lol, stroke of genius there Jessie) She conjured a kareoke machine and cleared the floor of the room so they would have room to dance.::

(Thank you, thank you *bows)

"Good Idea Claire!" Jessie said. (cough cough MY IDEA cough cough) "You first!" She said tossing the microphone to Claire.

Sky squeee'd "Yay karaoke! Me and Jessie love karaoke!!!"

(lol, you can't double post and you said I should post so....hehe)

"Alright," said Claire, catching the mic. She walked onto the 'stage' and cleared her throat. "Hope you can still hear after this," she said, laughing.::

::What to sing? Ah, I know. She grinned and hummed the first few lines of the song, remembering it. She skipped ahead to one of the best parts of the song and sang.::

"Composing their songs of love

Young, uniform minds
In uniform lines
And uniform ties

Run round with trousers on fire
And signs of desire
They cannot disguise

While I try to find words
As light as the birds
That circle above

To put in my songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice

So sing while you have time
Let the sun shine down from above

And fill you with songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice

So sing while you still can
While the sun hangs high up above

Wonderful songs of love

Beautiful songs of love
Beautiful songs of love
Beautiful songs of love"

(gah, i have to go)

(bye! *waves*)

"Wooo! Claire!" Jessie cheared "Me next! Me next!" She said hopping up.

Sky jumped up and down. "Claire, that was amazing!" She shouted. "You next Jessie!"

Jessie thought for a moment about what to sing, then got it. "Ok, this is a really popular song. But I like it." She said before begining the song.

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Sky heard the song and loved it. "Jessie, that was awesome!" Sky squeeeee'd!

"Thank you, thank you." She bowed. "Sky, your turn!"

Sky smiled and took the microphone from Jessie. "Here is one of my favorites from your ipod!"

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

"Well, do you likey?" Sky asked.

"WOOO!" Jessie cheared for Sky. "That's how the yellow banana heads do it!"

Sky laughed. "Yup, we are destined for fandom complete with our own groupies. I wonder if fred, George and Ron will be our groupies."

Jessie laughed. "They better!"

"Well I am sure they will." Sky smiled. "Do you think we should tell them later today when we see them?"

"Yeah, that'll work!" Jessie said.
