Growing up Pureblooded

Must Be Drunk

Late that night, Jack Miller and his best mate, Michael Lucas, were sitting parked in Jack's car halfway up the hill to Riddle House, watching as several men in cloaks entered the old house. "See, I told you they'd do it again," Jack said. "All right," Michael replied nervously. "But do we have to be here spying on them? Let's go down to the pub." Jack shook his head firmly. "I bet they're criminals of some sort. There's probably a reward for turning them in." "Are you daft?" Michael retorted. "You mess with people like that and they're likely to kill you."

Jack opened his mouth to reply, but stopped at a sudden swooshing sound overhead. He jumped out of the car to see what was happening, and Michael reluctantly followed. They looked up into the sky and gasped. They rubbed their eyes, and gasped again.

Overhead, silhouetted against the half-moon, was what could only be described as a witch. An old crone was flying on a broomstick, her pointed hat perched on her head and her long black robes flowing behind her. If only her skin were green, she would have looked just like the Wicked Witch of the West. She cackled gleefully as she swooped down towards the house.

"CONFRINGO!" she shouted, and the two young men looked at each other in confusion. Then there was a terrible explosion, and their eyes swerved back to the manor house, where a small fire was now burning on the rooftop. Several of the men in cloaks came rushing back out, brandishing sticks in their hands. As they waved the sticks, strange lights shot out in various colors.

There was more cackling overhead, and four more witches came zooming in on broomsticks. Three of them were dressed much like the first, but the fourth wore a T-shirt and jeans, and seemed to have spiky pink hair. "Blimey," Michael breathed. "Do you reckon we're drunk, Jack?" Jack nodded glumly. "I think we must be."

I know it's short. This really is filler cause I didn't have a lot of time. But Jack will come back later and play a more important role. Love y'all my awesome readers!
