The Club


Danny dropped his school bag off in the common room quickly then hurriedly walked back out. He knew Legend would throw a fit if he made him and Mat wait too long. They had told him during Herbology that they needed to talk to him after lessons were through and to meet them in the courtyard. Danny had no idea what they wanted, but might as well go meet them before they came and found him.

Smooth like a cat and silent as a mouse, he made his way through the throng of people in the Great Hall, almost unnoticeably. Then again, everybody was so much taller than him they probably didn’t see him in the first place. He was easily one of the shortest kids in his year. Danny didn’t mind being so small, because then people didn’t see him and he didn’t have to talk to them. It wasn’t that he was anti-sociable. It was just that he was a little scared of everybody at this school, except for a select few.

Finally, his little legs made it outside where the sun was still bright. The sky was a clear blue with a slight breeze in the trees. Some kids had already taken refuge in the grassy areas, soaking up the sun. Laughter floated up into the air and the atmosphere was content. But Danny wasn’t paying attention to the beautiful weather. He averted his direction away from the grassy area and walked under the arch the led into the courtyard.

He spotted the two right away. Well he heard them before he saw them. He could always find Legend’s voice easily. Even if it was crowded, he could pin point where the boy was in the matter of seconds. His hearing was sensitive to the point that he could understand what people were whispering in another room during a party. He had no idea where he picked up a talent like that, but it was useful when he was trying to find his friends.

His foot snapped over a branch, making Legend and Mat look up. Their cautious look soothed away when they saw it was just him.

“There you are Danny!” Mat beamed.

“Now we can begin.” Legend said, standing up from the bench he was sitting on. The mischievous look in his eye was making Danny a little nervous.

“Danny, we have known you for, how long?” Legend asked.

“Forever dude!” Mat answered for him.

“Exactly! We feel it is time for you to join the club.” Legend smiled smugly.

Danny blinked at them and gave them a confused look. Legend and Mat had been with him so long, that they understood his facial expression was a question.

“The club is “The I Hate Girls Club”.” Mat said, answering his question.

“It used to be “The I Hate Katie Club” but we changed it after Julian found out.” Legend said, rolling his eyes.

“Anyways. You are going to join our club. And our first mission is now.” Mat continued.

Danny tilted his head slightly, wondering what they were planning. Knowing the both of them, it was going to involve being sneaky. And sneaky was something Danny wasn’t that great at.

“This is the plan. The girls said they were going to go to the lake after lessons were through. So they should be there right now. This is what you are going to do. Lead them to the edge of the lake so we can push them in.” Legend said, a smile so big on his face it should hurt.

Mat began to chuckle in the background, but Danny frowned. “Don’t push Kayla in the lake.”

“Ahh but its only fair.” Mat replied.

Danny gave him a timid mad look. Legend put his hand on Mat’s shoulder to quiet him, and said, “Ok fine. We wont get Kayla. But Katie is going in.”

Danny blushed slightly, as they agreed to not push Kayla in the lake. Usually people didn’t care what he said. Then again he rarely said anything. His cheeks turned a fairer pink when he realized he wouldn’t be able to talk them out of pushing Katie in.

“Ok so lets go.” Mat said jumping over the wall of the courtyard.

Legend jumped up onto the side and turned around to face Danny. He put a hand out for him and Danny took it, letting Legend pull him over the wall. The three then made their way toward the lake. Danny could feel the excitement rolling off the other two in waves, but Danny was tense. He wasn’t good at pranking people. Especially when it was the girls. Katie had a temper that he would rather not have directed toward him, and Kayla made him blush for other reasons.

“Leg?” Danny said quietly as they got closer to the lake.

“Yeah?” Legend turned his head to look at him as they continued walking.

“How…do I get her to the edge?” he asked, his cheeks warming at the thought of it.

“Just tell her you want to show her something. She will listen to you.” Legend replied.

“Yeah she trusts you. Just go to the edge and call her over. We will do the rest.” Mat said with a smirk on his lips.

Danny swallowed and looked away from them. He walked a little ways behind them as they searched for the girls. What seemed like to soon, they found them and Jae sitting under a tree that stood tall near the water. Jae was rolling a soccer ball with his foot on the ground, in his own little world. Katie and Kayla were sitting crossed legged in front of each other giggling about something.

“Ok Danny you go first.” Legend said, and pushed him gently toward them.

“We’ll wait here.” Mat piped up.

Danny frowned at them and slowly made his way over to the girls and Jae. He meant to walk a fast as a snail, but somehow he made it in front of them in no time. Katie and Kayla looked up from their giggling and Jae looked over at him, finally taking his eyes off the soccer ball.

“Hey Danny! Want to sit with us?” Katie smiled.

“Erm…” Danny replied, his cheeks beginning to turn red.

“Wow what’s wrong mate? Ya look like the potion’s master just asked ya a question.” Jae said, stopping in the middle of rolling his ball.

Danny looked down shyly, not knowing what to say next. He wished he had stayed in the common room now.

“Is that Legend and Mat over there?” Kayla’s soft voice said.

“Did they put you up to something Danny?” Katie asked, her voice going up a notch.

Danny bit his lip and said, “They want to push you in the lake Katie.”

“Those rats! When I get my hands on them-”

“Katie wait. I have an idea.” Kayla said, her eyes sparkling. “What did they ask you to do Danny?”

Danny blinked at the ground for a few seconds, trying to keep his cheeks from burning. “They wanted me to get Katie by the edge so they could push her in.” he said quietly.

“Excellent.” Kayla replied.

“What?! You want them to push me in the lake? I thought you were on my side!” Katie said, rounding on the girl.

“No! Katie don’t you see? Go stand by the edge, and when the boys go to push you in, me and Danny will reverse the attack and push them in.” Kayla said, smiling at her little plan.

“I don’t want to be part of this.” Danny said shyly.

“Come on Danny! You have to help us now!” Katie said, standing up quickly in protest.

“Leave him be, Katie. He don’ wan’ to do it.” Jae said sticking up for Danny and motioning for the first year to go sit by him. Danny went over gratefully and sat down next to him.

“Fine! We will do this ourselves.” Katie said walking to the edge of the lake. Perfect position for her to get pushed in. Kayla stood up and stretched, acting like she wasn’t watching the Hufflepuff.

Danny silently watched as Legend and Mat snuck out from behind a bush and tip toed behind Katie. He had to admit, Katie was playing it cool. Acting like she had no idea that the boys were closing the space between them. Legend grew confidant and started running toward Katie. Kayla intercepted him, however, and ran at him. Legend didn’t even see it coming when Kayla was suddenly pushing him toward the water. He yelped and threw his hands out to try and catch himself. But it was too late. He was thrown into its depth. Katie began to laugh uncontrollable, and didn’t see Mat sneak up behind her. Quicker than you can say “swim”, Mat was pushing Katie into the water next. She screamed at the top of her lungs and fell into the lake. Kayla turned to face Mat at the same time he turned to face her.

“Truce!” they said in union, throwing their hands up in surrender. They both then turned to see Katie and Legend wadding in the water. Katie was still screaming and Legend looked like a cat during bath time. Mat couldn’t help himself and began to laugh. Kayla looked at Katie in the water and sighed. It wasn’t until Mat was on the ground holding his stomach from laughing so hard, that Danny finally spoke.

“I think I’m out of the club.” Danny said. Jae chuckled and rolled the soccer ball toward him, starting a little passing game.
