"Yes Headmaster Leonardo?" I said emphasizing the nardo part of the name.
He sighed," It's Leo, Tara, Leo."
I shook my head," No it's not but are we going soon? I'm super excited!"
I bounced up and down.
He nodded," But you have one more quidditch game before we leave. We depart directly afterwards. No fooling around!"
"Why Headmaster. Why would I ever fool around?" I asked acting confused.
He sighed shaking his head before giving me a slight push in the direction of the stadium I would be playing at today," Run along Tara dear. Run along."
I smiled and trotted to the lockers where I quickly changed into the Bulgarian uniform. Then I raced to my place in line for the team. Second in the lead. I flew out behind our captain Felix Conics(pronounced Kon- Iks) as the announcer said my name and the crowd began to scream.
"TARA POTTER," the announcer screamed over the crowd as I swoop over the stadium standing on my broom while leaning down and giving high fives.
I grabbed onto my broom swung myself under it then onto the broom. I unhooked my beater's bat from the retractable hooks on the side of my broom and swung it making sure it was weighted correctly. I nodded and sat cross legged on my broom as I flew to my starting position. The game started quickly and unlike most beaters I raced to find a bludger instead of waiting for one to show up. I found one flying towards one of our chasers Everette Todd and hit it hard towards the other team's captain, hitting him square in the chest. He fell to the ground as his broom launched itself out of his grip and out of the stadium. I ducked under a bludger before speeding after it on my Nimbus 1001. Easily catching up to it I spun on my broom and with both hands swung and took out the chaser that had the quaffle. I saw a bludger aimed by the other team's beater at our seeker who was currently chasing the snitch and began my signature move. I dove off my broom and fell towards where the bludger would hit then slammed the bludger to the other seeker as one of my chasers caught me and returned me to my broom. Liam Icer, our seeker, caught the snitch quickly and we won 450 to 30. Then I flew around the stadium one last time, triggering my pranks around it. Silly string and fireworks burst from miniature tubes placed in convenient places throughout the crowd covering everyone in silly string and sending huge fireworks into the air. Sure I got in trouble the first few times I pranked whole stadiums but soon the others began to realize that some people only came for the prank and they let me do what I wanted to. Not that they could have stopped me.
I flew into the locker rooms high fiving the shirtless guys as I went through and quickly took a shower before putting on one of my favorite outfits(above pics). I then sprinted to the Durmstrang castle. Once I got inside I threw myself over the rift that was created to test the new boys if they were worthy of being Durmstrang. Yeah it's dangerous with the icy rapids flowing below but it's totally worth it. I grabbed a pullcord to the right which magically jerked itself up far enough to reach the next pullcord which jerked up. This repeated itself a couple more times before I reached my room which was on the very top. I landed and rolled to soften the blow. I walked up to my large white dragon who opened a huge dish sized purple irised eye.
"Time to go Riptide," I said excitedly.
He snorted and spoke in my mind," I am aware. You have not packed yet. Don't forget your knives and daggers."
"I don't suppose you packed for yourself huh?" I asked him sarcastically.
"Actually I did. Got my claw sharpeners and everything."
I rolled my eyes and muttered," Of course you didn't think to pack for me."
"I heard that and unless you wanted a hole punctured in every article if that clothing you have then I would have. But I figured you wouldn't appreciate it."
"You and your stupid logic."
"I feel that my logic is one of my greatest characteristics."
"Of course you do you stupid dragon."
He snorted impatiently and flicked my head with the tip of his tail," Hurry up. The Headmaster said be there on time for once."
I whipped out my wand," Fine! Clothes! Reorganize!"
My clothes suddenly flew up and began to fly towards my trunk which I happened to be standing in front of. I dove to the ground. Once they were all tucked into the suitcase I packed toiletries and pranking supplies. I quickly put on an army vest over my outfit and then raced to put Riptide's saddle on. He shifted in annoyance.
"I hate this dumb thing. Can't you just ride bareback?"
"Remember what happens when I ride bareback Tide? Plus we have to carry a little bit of stuff just in case."
He snorted again but allowed me to put the saddle on and I raced to grab my weapons sheathing them and then running and hopping on Tide's back. He then stood up and grabbing my trunk and his bags in his large claws and diving out the huge window and towards the ship that awaited us in the icy blue ocean. He dove down and landed on the large deck dropping off the trunk and bag before snapping up the large chunks of meat thrown to him by the guys. I walked into the Headmaster's cabin and mock saluted him. He nodded to me.
"You're ten minutes late."
I shrugged," Forgot to pack."
He rolled his eyes," Of course. But you are ready now?"
I nodded.
"Then go take off and we'll follow you there."
I smiled and said," See you there."
See I don't travel on the ship because since it sinks underwater it has to be highly durable. I happened to be testing out a certain pranking supply when I blew a hole in the side of it. So they don't let me ride in it when we travel and instead found me a dragon. I won't lie though. I do have a tiny issue with going on that ship. I have a little bit of an energy problem which is not well contained in the ship. If I spent an hour in that wooden death trap I would probably end up killing everybody. And nobody would like that. Apparently. Quickly I ran up the stairs as the ship started to sink and jumped on Tide's back. He took off quickly flapping his huge wings hard to take us up. And we were off. To Hogwarts. To see my bro. And make an awesome entrance. Yeah I planned an entrance for everyone. What did you expect?
