Hogwarts was never a peaceful place. The students were ALWAYS doing something that was against the rules. Halloween night was no different. After the feast in the Great Hall, when most of the students were heading to bed, a few select troublemakers decided it was about time for a good prank. The poor school would never knew what hit it…..

...of course, that was always the case if the prank involved Amy. She was, after all, a Ravenclaw, and no one ever expects the smart little Claws when there are Lions to be blamed. "Tee hee!" she giggled from the shadows where she was hidden away behind the statue of Boris the Bewildered. The fifth floor seemed to be the best place to hide, because from there she could catch both Ravenclaws and Gryffindors on their route to their towers. With a flourish, she lifted her wand into the air and aimed it at a trio of fourth year Gryffindors that were shuffling quickly down the hall. With a muttered word, a flash of blue flew through the air in their direction and something sticky landed on each of their heads.

She continued watching them as they stumbled for a moment, frozen in position as they felt the pink substance covering their heads. Their faces were a sea of shock and.. well, more shock, as the stickiness trickled from their heads and was fast covering their faces. One of them started yelling something incoherent and another looked around, trying to find the culprit. "Over there!" the third one shouted, pointing towards the corner where Amy was hiding, where the lower half of her robes was showing. So much for being an intelligent prankster. Time to bolt!

Amy jumped out from behind the statue and fled, running as fast as she could, her feet pounding the marble. Footsteps and shouts echoed across the stone walls around her, and she dared not turn around. An intersection of several corridoors loomed ahead of her, and she hesitated. Just then a flash of light soared above her right shoulder, catching her hair in the breeze it made as it whizzed past. Amy lunged to the left, that decision made for her, and took off down the new hallway. Risking a glance over her shoulder, she saw that the fourth years had apparently had some sort of collision while trying to make the turn. HAHA! Then she tripped. As if in slow motion, she took a few stumbling steps foward....and crashed into the ground. She winced as her elbows hit the foor, and her nice, long, Ravenclaw robes picked up dust as she slid several yards foward, coming to rest at the feet of someone else's school uniform. Amy gulped, and looked up. Uh oh. Bunny.

With typical Slytherin style, Bunny's hair and robes were immaculate as she towered over the girl. Amy was terrified - Bunny's perfection had thrown her completely and she found herself without an explanation as to just what she was doing rolling around on the floor. However, as the Ravenclaw was about to find out, trouble often lurks beneath a perfect surface. "Is that yooooooou, Amy?" Bunny asked, her eyes wild and unfocused as she peered down at the girl. "Whatever are you running for?" As Bunny's head lolled from side to side, Amy breathed a sigh of a relief. The Slytherin, it seemed, had been at the firewhisky.

It was perfect, really, for now Amy not only had an opportunity to escape, for everyone knew that Bunny and firewhiskey did not mix well, but she also had someone to leave behind to deal with the fourth years. They hadn't seen her face, or, likely, even her robes, so they wouldn't really notice that Bunny wasn't the one that had cast the gooey pinkness at them. "Course it is, Bunny," Amy replied, getting to her feet, and immediately pulling her wand on the other girl. "Sorry about this," she muttered, casting Stupefy on the Slytherin and disappearing behind a nearby tapestry. Once settled in her new super-seekrit hiding place, she peeked out with one eye to watch what was going to happen.

Right about the moment that the charm was cast on Bunny, the three Gryffindors were still running to catch their culprit, having given Amy, who had been hiding quite a distance from them, the headstart. The goo was dripping from their bodies to the floor as they ran, leaving a trail of bright pink in their wake. This made them much too clumsy to be running about aimlessly in the hallways, and as Bunny collapsed, they couldn't stop themselves in time. The first boy tripped over Bunny's right leg, and was bumped into by the second boy. The girl who was with them, having been surprised by the heap of bodies in front of her, slipped on the goo and landed right on top of them with a loud "THUD!".

"YOUCH!" Ferin cried as she landed. The boys glared at her. "Geroff me," the boy on bottom groaned, and there was a rather confused few moments involving the disentangling of limbs as the Gryffs got themselves sorted out. Behind the super-seekrit tapestry, Amy was forced to suppress a giggle. They stood in a row with their backs to her, now not only dripping the goo off their heads but smeared in it from head to toe as well, and stared at the form lying unconscious in front of them. "It...it was Bunny?" one of the boys said nervously. Ferin shrugged, and pointed her wand at the Slytherin. "Rennervate!"

Bunny slowly opened her eyes and looked sleepily up at Ferin and co. "'Lo Fer-fer, 'lo everyone," she slurred, a daft smile on her face. "You're all slimy!" She reached into her pocket and brought out a silver hipflask, deftly unscrewing the green lid and taking another swig. Her thirst quenched, she smacked her lips together before staggering to her feet, somewhat unsteadily. Confused, she looked about the corridor. "Where did Amy go? She was here a minute ago." She frowned as she remembered what had happened. "I think she stunned me!"

"Sure she was," replied Ferin, a look of disbelief on her goo-covered face. "We only saw one person, and that had to be you." The fourth year leaned forward and jabbed Bunny with a slimy-pink hand, smearing some of the goo on the formerly pristine robes. "Wouldn't have expected you to be so mean, Bunny," Ivan, the second boy, replied with a frown on his face. "Amy, maybe, but you? I think we should tell Professor Flitwick." He grabbed her by the arm and proceeded to move in the direction of the Ravenclaw Head of House's office.

Amy looked as the three Gryffindors began to pull Bunny away, struggling to stiffle her giggles. From behind her, another figure appeared, and even in the dark, her white glistening teeth could be seen as her mouth parted in a grin. "Brilliant, Amy, just brilliant. Though, I do think we should leave them with one more.. ah, parting gift," Meli noted. She had been hiding behind the super-seekrit tapestry all along, watching Amy carry out their plan. So much for Ravenclaws being studious and anti-social and goody-two-shoes, eh? Reaching into the pocket of her robes, Meli pulled out her own wand, and pointing it to the four just a few feet in front of them, muttered another spell. She pulled Amy away just as another load of sticky stuff, blue this time, splashed on their heads, an accomplished look on her face. The deed is done.



Nox Lumos!

...thought one of the boys dashing about the elves in the kitchens. The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff had been planning this for ages, but Halloween had seemed too perfect a night for such a dramatic stunt. One distracted the elves while the other stealthily poured a strange liquid into the already clean pot which the two boys knew the elves would use to make the morning pumpkin juice. They'd decided hitting only a few people wouldn't be big enough, so they were aiming for everyone with this one. When he'd poured every last drop into the pot, the Gryffindor grinned at his mate before dashing for the door. The Hufflepuff nodded his head, keeping the elves distracted just a little while longer.

The boys had spent hours the day before planning the prank in great detail. Both decided that love potions were overdone, but neither had a much better suggestion. One wanted a curse that would make their fellow students catch a strangely named disease (most commonly found on the souls of feet), but the other was convinced that watching those in the Great Hall be unable to say what they actually meant would be much more entertaining. Working together, as those in other houses should, they'd stumbled upon something just right. Those that drank the potion would act as the person they'd spoken to last. Had someone had an unfortunate run-in with Filch or Snape? Well, then things were about to get a whole lot worse.

And then the next day dawned, bright and lovely! The two boys could barely pull themselves from their beds, but they were hurried on by the anticipation of their PRANK. For pranks were holy, really. Entering the Great Hall early, they found just one person, standing in the middle of the Hall. The creeped closer to see who it was. Gasp! None other than McGonagall! What was she doing out of the teacher's table? HAD SHE A LIFE OR SOMETHING. And ohhh, wait. She was taking a sip from one of the goblets...

The two boys stared, wide-eyed, and waited to discover if their plan had worked. McGonagall finished drinking and set the goblet down. She turned in time to see the first few students trickling into the Great Hall. Her eyes twinkled and she waved to them, "Nitwit! Oddment! Blubber! Tweak!" The boys glanced at each other and raised their eyebrows, stifling the laughter that was already threatening to escape their lips. Then, Snape entered the room with a flourish and sat down at the staff table. He gave a sneer as he reached for his goblet.

Things had just gotten very interesting very quickly. Snape, as most students knew, was a very private person. Sometimes it seemed he'd rather kill a perfectly friendly kneazle than reveal what he'd done for tea the day before. It seemed odd that the POTIONS MASTER himself hadn't detected anything strange about his drink, but up the goblet had gone to his lips, and down the liquid had fallen to his insides. The boys watched in anticipation, almost clinging to each other as Snape very menacingly stood up from his spot at the main table. They were about to know just who Snape spoke with before he went to bed at night.... and it was bound to be hilarious, if not frightening.
