A/N: Woot! My third
story! I really like this one, probably because Raquel and I are in
it. I just love writing about myself!
Natalie's less crazy
side: In love with yourself?
Natalie: grr… Don't ruin my moments, please.
Natalie's less crazy side: … I'm leaving you.
Natalie: What? No! I can change! I CAN CHANGE!
Natalie's less crazy side: I was just kidding! God, I can't really leave you! It's physically impossible!
Natalie: Oh… Right… I knew that.
Natalie's less crazy side: … Just get on with it.
Natalie: Right! Anyways, this story has all the craziness of my previous stories, just a little tiny bit romanceier. (Is that a word?)
Happy Birthday Raquel! This story is part of your gift! (Actually, I would've written this story anyway, but this is good timing.)
Pairings in the story:
Me and George
Raquel and Fred (btw, there is a difference between Fred and George. George I think is just a little more down to Earth than Fred, who is slightly more outgoing. It's pretty small, so don't kick yourself if you didn't know there was a difference.)
Tiffany and Draco
Audre' and Oliver (Tiff and Audre' are my friends)
Ron and Hermione (maybe just a teeny bit, probably not even a paragraph)
ON WITH THE STORY! XD
"Beautiful day isn't it? Nice weather, isn't it, Raquel?"
Raquel stared incredulously at Natalie. "It's raining!"
"Exactly."
Raquel rolled her eyes.
It was a rainy day at the train station, if you couldn't tell already. Natalie and Raquel were waiting for Platform 9 3/4 to open up. (They had gotten there early, for a change.) This was to be their 7th year at Hogwarts. (same as the Weasley twins) They were in Griffindor and shared a dorm with a nice girl name Tiffany, a slightly crazy, but nice, girl named Audre', and a stuck-up bitch named Rebecca, who was just a little bit on the slutty side. The worst thing about her was that every time a guy started to like one of them, she stole them away.
Natalie and Raquel saw a family with all red hair approaching.
"Ron, Ginny, don't forget to write. Fred, George, try not to blow anything up this year," said Mrs. Weasley. Fred and George grinned malevolently.
Natalie rolled her eyes. "I swear, those twins are sooo obnoxious! Always bragging about how they are the best pranksters in the whole school! They always get on my nerves. Especially when they prank me!"
"I know what you mean. They're always annoying the hell out of me!" agreed Raquel.
Natalie sighed. "Oh well. If the Weasleys are here, then the platform should be open by now." Natalie walked into the platform. Raquel sighed and followed her.
They found an empty compartment and sat down.
"This is going to be a very boring, uninteresting year," said Raquel sadly.
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it. Nearly every year, something exciting has happened. Someone attacks the school, or something. Last year was the tri-wizard tournament. Harry stopped Voldermort and saved Cedric. Now that Voldermort is gone for good, nothing is gonna happen!"
"You mean you want someone to attack the school?"
"No, I want something exciting and dangerous to happen!"
Natalie sighed. "Yeah… I guess you're right. Nothing's going to happen… Unless…"
"Unless what?" asked Raquel cocking an eyebrow.
"Unless we make it happen!"
"How do we do that?"
"Well… I've got an idea, but…"
"But what?"
"It's very silly, and we, as intelligent, hard-working young women are way too mature to take part in such antics."
"…"
Natalie and Raquel burst out laughing.
"Seriously though," said Natalie, recovering, "I have an awesome idea. It'll be fun AND we can teach those Weasley twins a lesson."
"Do tell."
"Well, just to put them in their place, I think that we should have an all-out prank war. And this won't be just we put a whoopie cushion on their chairs. We shall have an official prank war. We come up with a set of rules and shake hands. The pranks will be elaborate and dangerous. Very dangerous. Plus, there will, of course, be a bet involved. Big stakes on the line! I'm thinking that if we win, which we will, we can make them do something VERY embarrassing. They'll probably just want money or something if they win. Anyway, sounds fun, doesn't it?"
Raquel stared. "Oh. My. God. That is the most brilliant idea that you've ever had, Natalie!"
"Thank you."
"I'm totally in. In fact, let's go find them and set this up immediately!"
The two walked out into the hall way and started looking for the compartment that had Fred and George in it. When they found it, they swung the door open and stepped in.
"George! We're being kidnapped by two of our crazed fans!" yelled Fred.
"Fred, I'd just like to say that I've enjoyed being your brother very much. I'll try to hold them off. Run!" said George, dramatically.
"I would never leave you!" declared Fred, passionately.
Natalie rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Who would be crazy enough to kidnap you two?"
"Anyway," said Raquel, "We have a proposition for you."
The twins exchanged curious glances.
Over the next ten minutes, the four of them talked about Natalie's idea. Fred and George both seemed eager and willing.
Raquel shook hands with Fred, while Natalie shook hands with George. Natalie and Raquel went back to their compartment to discuss possible prank ideas. On their way back, Natalie couldn't help but think, Wow. I never noticed how hot George was. Wait! Why am I thinking this! If Raquel could read minds, she would be ashamed at me.
However, Raquel was thinking similar things about Fred. Dammit. Why am I thinking this? I've got to get out more. Then maybe I wouldn't have to occupy myself by thinking weird things!
When they got back, Raquel started the planning with a great idea. "I think that we should slip some love potion into their drinks and make them fall in love with Ron! That would be hysterical!"
"We definitely have to do that! I've also got a couple of really great ideas! See, I think that we should fill up their dorm with like 4 tons of cheese. Then, when they open the door to their dormitory, they get whooshed down the stairs by a wave of cheese! And then, when they go up to their dorm, everything will be ruined because it was submerged with cheese!" Natalie said laughing hard.
Raquel stared at her. "That is the dumbest idea that I've ever heard."
"Hey! I think it's a great idea! It's no dumber than yours!"
Raquel stared disbelievingly.
Natalie scowled. "Well, I've got another idea. This one is better. Here's how it goes: we charm their school robes to look like pretty pink dresses. All day, people will be laughing at them, but they won't know why because whenever they look in the mirror, or at each other, they just see their school robes. Eventually, someone will confront them about it, and part of the charm will be that after someone tells them about it, they can see what they are actually wearing! They'll be so embarrassed that they'll start crying!"
"Now THAT'S a good idea."
Natalie grinned.
Later
After Dumbledore's usual welcome back speech, dinner was finally served. Natalie was about to take a big bite out of a chicken wing, when Raquel stopped her.
"Don't eat that, dummy! It's charmed with a hair color changing spell! Damn, those Weasleys are fast. We have to watch what we eat, who we meet, and where we're going at all times. Otherwise, those twins will win the war!"
"Wow! Thanks, Raquel! How did you know?"
"The chicken has a little blue dot right there," she said pointing to a tiny, barely noticeable blue dot on the side of the chicken wing.
"Every charm and poison has a give away, no matter how small. That's why, if we're careful, we can win this thing," she continued.
"You're right! I'll be more careful from now on," declared Natalie. "By the way, the potatoes look safe to eat. So do the rolls."
Raquel double checked them. "Yes you're right. We can eat those."
And so they did.
After dinner, they went up to their dorm discussing what classes they had, and when they opened the door to their room, a wave of cheese whooshed them down the stairs. After they realized what had just happened, they noticed that people all around them were laughing.
Fred and George smiled triumphantly.
Natalie glared at Raquel.
"I told you that this was a good idea!"
Raquel scowled.
A/N: Hey, I hope you liked it! By the way, Fred and George didn't steal Natalie's idea; they just came up with it at the same time. They would never do something that dishonorable. They don't know about the school robes idea.
