Hi! I jusy want to say thank you for taking a chance on my book! Every read and review means the world to me so thank you so much, and of course the disclaimer: I only own the plotline and my OCs, Castella Grant, Mia Finnigan, Taegan Thomas, and any others that may appear. I do not own J.K. Rowlings characters, or the universe.
When Castella boards the Hogwarts express she is excited, yet dreadful of the new school year. This year she would have to step out of her comfort zone, this is the year she promised herself to be the prank queen, to prank the kings themselves, James Potter and Fred Weasley. Because behind those glasses, is her true self. The self she plans to show everyone this year.
It's her 5th year at Hogwarts, and just because she's a prefect doesn't mean she can't get into some trouble. She's been planning this for years, and no one except her knows, not even her best friends, Mia Finnigan and Taegan Thomas, who are the only Hogwarts students to even acknowledge Castella's existence in the 4 years they had been there.
they know Castella's true prankster self, and are the only ones who do. This year everyone will know, and that is the only thing she can think about right now.
Castella finds the compartment Mia is in. Taegan likes to ride in the compartment with some other Gryffindors. Castella lays down across the bench opposite to Mia's. "I'm pranking this year." Is the first thing she says to her shocked friend.
"Really?"
"I've been hiding too long. My updated prank book is almost finished, it's got enough to last me the 3 years we have left here."
"I'm gonna prank with you, right?"
"If you want, but you don't have to. I'm guessing Teagan will want to. As long as I get the kings by myself."
"You go ahead, those 2 scare me."
"I'm planning on getting them first. Show the rest of the school I mean business."
"You know what, I'll pass on pranking for now. You know you're going to get detentions this year right?"
"Only if I get caught." Castella says with a wink.
the rest of the train ride was uneventful, mostly consisting of Mia sleeping and Castella working on her prank book. At Hogwarts they got off the train and walked to the carriages. When they got there, there was only one carriage left and Taegan was waiting for them in it.
The two hopped on it, Reagan said her greeting and gave them hugs. They started a conversation whenthe pranking kings themselves, James Potter and Fred Weasley, followed onto that last carriage shortly after the girls. "Why hello there, no need for introductions from ourselves, I'm sure you know who we are," James started talking.
"We know who you are," Fred pointed to Mia and Taegan, "But we don't know who you are," Fred continued.
"So please, inform us of your name and if you would prefer a canary cream or puking pastille with your dessert." James finished.
"Really? Puking Pastilles? Canary creams? those are so old! I know of at least a dozen newer prank candies that have better effects, and there are ways to modify them too, to make them more useful," the boys looked puzzled by Castella's pranking knowledge, "I'm Castella by the way," she holds out her hand for them to shake.
"Well then, if you know so much about pranking, tell us of these newer candies," Fred said, still a little confused.
"Well all of them are confidential, but there are ways to modify chocolate frogs, I'll tell you that much."
by that time the carriage had arrived at Hogwarts,Taegan Mia and Castella left the two puzzled prank kings behind.
"I'm gonna get those two so good. Give me a week tops and they'll be pranked." Castella said, determined to Taegan and Mia.
"Can I help?" Taegan pleads.
"I'm getting those 2 by myself. After that, possibly."
Later that night Castella sits in one of the windowsills outside of the Ravenclaw common room after hours. She writes in her prank book for a good 45 minutes before she is interrupted.
"Watcha got there nerd? A diary?" The infamous James Potter's voice is heard.
"Oh, no, I'm just making adjustments to some of the pranks in this book from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, making them better," She then answers the Eagle knocker's question with ease and enters the common room, leaving a dumbfounded James behind.
And from this moment on James Sirius Potter is determined to get that book.
