The Good Ole' Days part one:

Of Hair Dyes and New Dorms

Once again, the Slytherin House had over gone a makeover, the Girl and Boy dorms alike looking completely different as if they were brand new.  This happened so often, everyone just went along with it.

"Shotgun for this bed..."  Maria (then 'Riddle' now 'R Honeydukes') ran toward the middle bed and placed her belongings in the trunk, added black paint to the walls near her bed, hung black curtains in front of her bed, took out some dead roses and pulled the petals out, throwing them all over her bed and floor, placed a picture under her pillow, and then placed the blood tearing rose Darcie gave her in a maroonish black vase right on her dresser...

All this managed to happen in the space of five minutes.  (What a woman!)

"Mine!!!" yelled Cassie Xanthe (her last name not really being Xanthe, but lets not get into that) leaping onto the bed on the far right, shoes and all. "Finally, a new dorm... maybe I can get some sleep now... or maybe not." she muttered, looking at her roommates.

Most would have taken offence to this, had any of them actually been listening or heard her speaking.  Though no one actually did.

A few minutes later Kittie Sapphire (two Ps, not one) moonwalked into the room, hung her chains on the doorway, and claimed the bed by the door. "Mine!!"  Seeing as no one seemed to be objecting, she took her blue rat Resol (read it backwards) and placed it on the nightstand, poking it with her wand.

Cassie raised an eyebrow.  "You're keeping him blue? I thought you were getting some dye…?"

"Of course I'm not keeping him blue. I'm currently trying to think of someone who may have dye in Hogwarts," Kittie replied, still poking him.

Cien Mashuga (now Banges daughter, but still Mashuga) walked in still in her Quidditch robes and looked around the beds before jumping onto one and beginning to bounce on it. "I call this." Ceiling touch. "Bed!" She continued to jump.

Cassie reached into her trunk. "Well, what about hair dye?! I have a large variety of greens, purples and pinks... You can just imagine Cimba with pink hair, can't you?!" She shook a large bottle, grinning madly.

"You're going to dye Cimber's hair?!" Cien stopped jumping. "Duuude."

Kittie grinned wickedly.  "Hmm...Can we use all the dyes on him?"

Kelly Moonbeam walked in and flung herself on a bed, not caring if someone was already sat on it.  If they were, I doubt it would have mattered and they'd probably be flat right now.

"If you want some hair dye I have blonde, blue, green, a few pinks, purple, black, silver... and I think a few more," she said cheerfully.

People in Slytherin House generally had good hearing, and amazing powers.  You could be in the dorms and the common room at the same time, hear things said three hours ago and, in Cien's case, hear in your sleep.

Kittie grinned, "Oh! Kelly?! Can I see the black dye for Resol?"

Cassie grinned evilly. "I always thought Cash would look quite nice with green, and that blue was Justin's colour... and of course, there's always bright purple for Dami... obviously, we could try colour combos on Cimba..."

"Unfortunately, when Kittie pranked the boys she also pranked me." Cien shot a friendly glare at Kittie. " 'Sides, Cimber got her and Meg back. Ebil man that Metallus, with all his signs an all."

~*~Flashback~*~

Meg stood in front of the bed with the toilet paper rolls in her arms. "Can I be any stupider?" She said as she muttered a spell to keep her clothes dry.

Kittie strides into the dorm, hovering 5 cartons of eggs behind her. "Now, Meg. I don't know if you're a clean freak or not, but don't flip out if I happen to pour egg on someone." She motioned to the sleeping people.

"I won't freak, promise." Meg giggled.

"That's a good Meg. Ok. See? How you TP is..." She unwrapped a wet roll, grabbed the end and threw the roll over Liam's canopy. She crouched under the bed, grabbed the roll and threw it over Kuro's bed and wrapped it around the ceiling fan. "Ok. Meg. After this, remind me to join Witness Protection, K?"

Meg laughed, "Ok." And moved on to the other side of the room.

"LA la la la la.." Kittie hummed, dropping a few eggs in Seb's canopy and drawing tooth floss down as a tripwire. She worked the TP to Liam's bed again, blew a kiss down to him, and pulled his boxers from her back pocket to gently slid them under his pillow, before throwing the TP under Dami's bed.

Meg hesitated as she got to Cash's bed "Sorry Cashikins." She said as she began to rap toilet paper around his bed and place a few eggs on his pillow

Kittie laughed from Dami's bed, sticking the eggs under his mattress. "I feel like the Easter Bunny. But I want you to beat the hell out of me if I start hopping." She moonwalked to Cim's bed, untouched, and covered it in TP.

Damien Taylor walked in and blinked.  Maybe going to the Boys Dorm to sleep was a bad idea afterall…

"Um...Kit. Dami might beat you before I get the chance." Meg said waving to Dami.

Kittie arched an eyebrow at the doorway and continued to put eggs on Cim's canopy. "Firstly, I'd love to see him try. And secondly, I think about 4 rolls of TP are between us. I'm safe." She hopped off Cim's bed.

Meg laughed then went back to TPing the room

Kittie wrapped Seb to his bed, in wet tp, and balanced an egg between his eyes. "This is for ignoring me." She trailed the paper until the roll ran out and she through the cardboard to Dami, before going for another roll.

Meg moved on from Cash and walked to Adis' bed. She took some tp and made it into a turban and placed it on Adis' head.

Kittie put a half carton of eggs at the side of Liam's bed, and wrapped her last roll of TP around Cien's ankles, and pulling the rest of the paper into a pulley, using the canopy to pull her legs up. "I'm going to be murdered. Well. Dami. You have a good sleep, I know I will. "

"Cash is gonna kill me..." Meg said moving towards the door. "You'll sleep good? They're gonna kill us in our sleep!"

"Which will be why I'll sleep good. It's not like I'm going to wake up, eh?" She turned around to make sure she wasn't leaving anything and spun on her heel, going to the Girls Dorm.

Meg handed her tp roll to Dami as she followed Kit out.

Cien woke up and slowly looked at her feet. "How many times do I have to say I can hear in my sleep." She magicked away the roll around her ankles and carefully got off the bed avoiding the tooth floss roll. "Heh, not a revenge person me."

"I'm 13, I'm 13!" chanted Cassie jumping around the bedroom before sailing straight back out again.   Which was very random, to say the least.

~*~Flashforward~*~

"Sure Kittie." Kelly threw her a bottle of black hair dye.  "I have some more too. I was thinking about going black for a day. I have that stuff that comes out in one wash. The stuff I gave you is permanent though, so it should last."

Cassie wandered into the Boys Dorm cradling several bottles of brightly coloured liquid. Giggling slightly, she set them down on the floor and tried not to make a noise. "Ok... green for Cashie... purple for Dami... pink on Adis... blue on Justin... colour combos on Cimba..." she muttered to herself, shaking various bottles, before putting on some old gloves and starting to unscrew the lids.

"Don't do Dami!!" Kelly said while running into the Boys Dorm. "He's mine. I'll get him later."

"Ok!" Cassie walked up to Cash, the foul smelling stuff pouring out of the bottle. Easing her hands into his hair so that she didn't wake him, she rubbed the permanent stuff in. Occasionally adding water, she finished the stark green on Cash, and moved onto the next bed. "Ok, Adis..." she muttered, getting out the pink. Lavishly spreading it everywhere, she muttered 'oops...' when half of it spilt onto the pillow. "Shocking pink really does look good on you!" she murmured, gazing at her handiwork.

Kelly grinned evilly.  "Just so you know I think that you grabbed all of my wash out stuff, not the permanent stuff. Oh well, they will still have to scrub at it. Or.... you could always take pictures and use them as blackmail. Pictures last longer than dye.

Meg entered the Boys Dorm quietly, behind the other two and looked around.  "Aww they look so cute."

Kelly decided to have a mad moment then and ran around taking snapshots with a muggle camera of all the boys sporting new hairstyles.

Turning to Justin, Cassie got out the neon blue. "Hmmm... let's be more creative... Stripes!" Cassie streaked the blue on, leaving patches of the original hair colour. "Hehe..."

Finally, Cassie moved to Cimba. Getting out the rest of her colours, she talked to herself. "Yellow stripe first... then a purple one... And we can put green next to that and orange next to that... And then the blue near the roots, and some red around the ears..." Cassie stood back and muffled her laughter.

Meg glanced around.  "I do not want to be here when they wake up," she decided.

Cien leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. "I'd be glad they can't hear in their sleep. Which you can use to your advantage by charming their eyes so when they look at their reflection they see themselves normally." She shrugged, an evil grin spreading across her face.

Seb walked passed Cien, to his bed. "Yeah." He replied, as he heard what Cien said. Avoiding whatever crap was in the room; he picked up Tua and sat down (After checking for eggs).

"That's a good point..." Cassie winked, running around and tapping all the mirrors. Rooting through their luggage, she enchanted all those too. "Lucky I checked those... I should've known Cash has seven mirrors hidden among his sock and bo... uh, underwear!"

"I won't enchant their eyes... I wanna see their reaction when they realize in the bathroom... I can just imagine the screams..."

"Seb... don't say anything, please? I mean, I know you wanna see their reactions as much as I do..."

Cien laughed as Kittie scrambled in and gaped at the boys. "You guys can't blame this one on me!" She stopped at the word 'underwear' and ran to look in the drawer Cass was in. "SILK BOXERS!!! Damn you, Meg! Cash is a GOD!"

Meg blushed slightly.  "Hey Sebbers.  Nice work, Cass.  Kit, why are you yelling at me? We went to the ball together. We aren't 'together'"

Kelly, had another random moment.  "I just thought of something, do you guys think the guys will tell on us? I mean, we really can't afford to lose any more house points."

Everyone stopped and stared at her.

Cien blinked.  "She has a point."

Kittie nodded.  "I agree."

Cassie frowned.  "Do we care?"

…

Everyone went back to what they were doing before Kelly spoke.

Meg thought for a second before speaking, "I don't think Cim is gonna like his hair being messed with."

Kelly shrugged.  "If he really doesn't like it, it will come out as soon as he washes it... But-" she held up the pictures "-these pictures are going to last for while."

And suddenly, Meg didn't care anymore.  "WOO HOO!" Meg stood next to Kelly and looked at the pictures "I think we should make them bigger and then hang them all over the Girls Dorm…"

"Hei there Meg, Kittie, Cassie, everyone else..." Seb said, laying back down on his bed, Tua on his arm.

Cien waved from her place at the doorway. "Hi, Seb."

"She shoots! She SCORES!!!" Cassie emerged from behind the final bed and grinned like mad. "Nah, they can wash it out."

Kittie passed the blue Resol to Meg to look after while she went in search of some dye so he'd go back to normal.

Meg petted Resol, "Aww did the mean Cimpoo turn you blue?"

Cassie stood in the middle of the room and clapped her hands together.  "I take full responsibility." With that, she left.

Kittie bowed to Cashie boy in his bed. "I'm not yelling at you, Meggers. It's just....silk bloody boxers?!"

"'lo, Cien." Seb said, as Cien waved at him. Reaching over to his bedside table, he took a few lizard feeds, and teased Tua with them.

Cien, managed to fall asleep in the Boys Dorms, Meg slept in the Girls Dorms, Kittie managed to get lost as she left the Boys Dorms and Seb drifted off almost straightaway. 

***

Cimber's eye twitched when he saw his hair the next morning. He frowned, but before the darkness can fall before his eyes he sighed and let out a shrug.

It wasn't that bad anyway.

He cleaned his pillows and scrutinized his hair. Ah...different colors.

"No one will fault me for supporting different teams then..." he murmured nonsensically (haha, I coined...) and reached under his bed where he quickly retrieved a dye remover (must never be left unprepared in Slytherin). He yawned a good morning to particularly no one and went for the boys' bathrooms.

Seb woke up, yawned, sneezed, rubbed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Cien woke up, got dressed and left for lessons. "I said Fable... Fabian isn't even in a thesarus..." was all that could be heard from her as she left.  (Slytherin had just lost the snitch to Gryffindor.  Yes, Cien can play Quidditch in her sleep, as can the majority of VH)

Justin Fitzpatrick awoke the next morning. He got up and made his bed and he straightened up the left over mess on the side of the bed. He then went into the bathroom, scratching his funny feeling head. He glanced in the mirror before brushing his teeth, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS?!?! WHO THE?!?!" Justin Fitzpatrick's hair was neon blue in stripes along his head leaving little bits of his natural hair in view.

(Justin liked to exaggerate)

"Oops..." Cassie, reappearing for a few seconds, grinned.

A normal-haired Cimber passed by, tossed Justin the tube of dye remover and walked on, whistling as he bit on his Snickers bar.

"Mm...chocolate..."

"Cheat!" protested Cassie. "You're a really bad spoil-sport." She pouted.

Cimber chuckled.

"I'm back to my normal, non-violet, lame self. Sorry." He flashed Cassie a gentle smile.

Meg came in and saw Cim's hair normal. "Well that just ruined it." She went into the bathroom and snatched the dye remover from Justin "Nooooo"

Cassie laughed manically and ran out with Meg, destroying the dye remover. 

Seb woke up late, tapping his ear. "I think I've gone deaf in one ear." He said rather loudly, as he headed towards the bathroom. "Is there such thing as a dead-ear? When you sleep on it too much..?" Seb muttered. "Well, you can get dead-legs..."

Shutting the door behind him, he switched on the shower, got washed, dressed, and re-emerged 20 minutes later, still tapping his ear.

***

Kittie wandered into the Girls Dorm and set about destroying the old one with a violent spork while Meg watched in horror.

"It had to go, Megs."

"I know."  Meg wiped away a tear.  "But it was so beautiful..."

"I can't believe it! Cimba's reaction was so... lame!"  Cassie pouted as she walked into the room.  "No Fair!"

Cimber (managing to be in two places at once) looked up from the Snickers that he was chewing on, staring curiously at Cassie through silver-rimmed glasses. "I'm not here for your entertainment you know...ja."

"Spoilsport." pouted Cassie, sitting down on her bed. "But it does mean that you can do something really bad to me, since I took full responsibility."

Meg looked upset and sat on her bed.  "Well that was prank wasted. Cim, YOUR NOT FUN!"

Clow laughed as she brushed her hair, "Easy on him, girls..easy...."

And thus ends the amazing story about the hair-dye prank that, thanks to a certain grey haired vampire, collapsed and died.
