Ch. 8 Prank Night Pt. 2
Hermione and Ginny reached the bathroom in record time. The stairs had moved on Ron so they had more than a good running start. The bathroom looked exactly the same large swimming pool sized bath waterfall faucets everywhere. Hermione and Ginny quickly transfigured a bench into a dressing screen. They then began to fill the pool to the top with warm water and bubbles of random scents.
"Ron isn't going to like smelling like a daisy." Hermione laughed to Ginny as they watched the 'tub' fill.
"Oh well." Ginny laughed twirling her wand.
"Gin don't forget the spell." Hermione reminded as she got the shrunken towels out of their pockets.
"Silencio." Ginny laughed pointing her wand at the door so their 'fun' wouldn't be overheard.
"Gin what kind of food do we want tonight?" Hermione asked while she twirled her wand between her fingers.
"I'm so feeling milkshakes." Ginny smirked than at the same time the girls turned to each other and yelled out "MUFFINS!"
"What kind of bathroom party would this be without Muffins?" Hermione asked throwing her arms up into the air.
"A damn bad one in my opinion. Muffins are needed for happiness and survival." Ginny laughed puffing up her chest putting on a perfect McGonagall voice.
"Not to mention we are to skinny we have to eat more get some good old meat on those bones." Hermione retaliated with a great Molly Weasley.
Hermione conjured the muffins and milkshakes before going behind the changing screen and throwing off almost all of her clothes. She and Ginny had agreed if Ron was coming they would stay in their knickers. No bra was expectable no underwear for the girls was not.
"Gin" Hermione called from behind the screen.
"Music?"
"Yes." Hermione laughed. They could always read each other so well ever since third year when Hermione would spend the summer at the Weasley house and the time they spent together became more and more frequent. When the other was thinking the thoughts of a crazy than the other was right there finishing the thought. It was great to have good girl friends.
Ginny conjured a boom box and turned up the volume on the radio. She began to dance while Hermione laughed from behind the screen. Stripping into her knickers as she went Hermione ran at Ginny grabbed her hand.
"AHHH!!" Hermione screamed as she ran and jumped into the water bringing Ginny with her.
Ginny who had decided to do some laps left Hermione to float around and stare at the enchanted ceiling. She was a peace floating in the water.
"You finally got the map?" Sirius asked James as he came back down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room.
"Got it." James smirked holding it up.
"Well than let's go we don't have much time left. James check the map." Remus suggested as they left the common room.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." James recited from heart and the map unfolded. He checked the halls to see that the only teachers awake were McGonagall and Flitwick who were patrolling one on the ground floor the other near the astronomy tower.
Than a name James didn't recognize flickered across the page.
"You guys, who is Ronald Weasley?" James asked.
"Who?" Peter asked.
"Let's take a look." Sirius said taking the map from James. "I can't see, Lumos." Sirius said pointing his wand at the map.
"Where was he Prongs?" Remus asked looking over Sirius shoulder.
"A few hallways away from the third floor prefect bathroom." James informed them putting a hand to his chin in thought. Who was Ronald Weasley?
"Prongs this says Ronald Plath." Remus said shaking his head.
"I know what I saw Moony. Let me see it." James asked taking the map from Padfoot.
And low and behold it shown Ronald Plath.
"Isn't Ronald Plath a member of the Trio?" Peter asked in confusion.
With the same thoughts as Hermione Remus thought 'Peter your village is calling.' "Yea Wormtail that's why we're confused."
"Oh" Peter replied shyly.
"Why would Ronald Plath be up this early?" Sirius asked staring at the map.
"I want to know why he's going to the Prefect bathroom. If only we could see if there was someone inside." James stated. He was clearly frustrated but they all knew that the map would not show inside the bathrooms.
"Than let's go look." Remus said with a gleam in his eye that was rarely seen there. It was a gleam of mischief.
"Ron's coming quick get under the bubbles!" Ginny whispered to Hermione as they both swam to the edge of the water and waited hiding under a cloak of bubbles.
"Gin, Mione. Where are you guys?" Ron walked in looking around. Something did not quit feel right. But by the time he realized it, it was too late. He was already going face first into the water fully clothed.
Hermione and Ginny had jumped out from under the bubbles and grabbed his legs yanking him into the water with them. Laughing they watched Ron come out of the water brown hair in face with a shocked facial expression and a finger Mrs. Weasley would tear off if she saw.
"Ron. Why are you wearing your glamour?" Ginny asked as Ron pulled himself out of the water and pealed his wet clothes off laying them over the screen to dry out a bit.
"Because, my dear sister, I realized halfway down the hallway here in I were seen and I wasn't Ronald Plath and I was in fact Ronald Weasley we'd be in some sort of enormously bloody trouble."
"Wow Ron, that was actually…smart of you." Hermione said in faked awe that dripped with sarcasm which resorted in Ron throwing one of his wet socks at her.
"What's with you and throwing things this morning?" Hermione asked as she peeled his sock off of her head.
"And to think no one noticed that I did the charm on my own and it's perfect." Ron said in mock hurt stabbing himself in the chest with his hand.
Hermione and Ginny cast their glamour charms just in case of intrusion following in Ron's example.
"Wow this hair is really heavy when it's wet." Hermione laughed as her waist length hair weighed her down a little bit more.
Ron stripped down to his boxers and jumped into the water creating a large splash.
"SPLASH WAR!" Ron bellowed. Soon there was water splashing every which way coming out of wands, being pushed by hands, kicked by feet. It was a tsunami of great proportion.
In all the confusion the three of them never heard the bathroom door open.
"I can't hear anything Prongs." Remus and Sirius said at the same time. Remus was using his wolf hearing, Sirius his dogs.
"Silencing charm." James stated the obvious.
Remus stared at the door for a moment thinking of all the different scenarios playing through his mind of what could be on the other side of that door.
'Please don't let him be with her.' Remus found himself thinking. Why would he think that? Mione was not his he had not said more than a couple sentences to her since she arrived. She did not belong to him. He did not love her. Why would it matter if she was along with Plath in there?
"Remus we can go back and do our prank somewhere else instead. We don't have to go in there." James told him putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Remus had finally told Sirius, James, and Peter of his suspicions of Mione Crane being the girl from the tower. The girl that was falling from the sky.
James knew even if Remus did not. That whoever that girl was she touched Remus that day she fell. She gave him a smile and that was all it took to stab an arrow into his heart and label him hers. If Remus thought it was Mione Plath than that was where his heart would lay. Remus could lie to himself about why he followed her and why he stalked her smiles. But James knew different. Remus Lupin was smitten.
"No. Let's check it out." Remus said and turned the door knob.
A/N:
So I know that the map can probably see who is inside the bathroom but that would have ruined my story for me. Also. The room that the trio are staying in was created by Dumbledore thus James and them don't know where it is thus is why it's not on the map and they can't track them back to their rooms.
Please Review. If you have any questions statements anything please let me know. Suggestions are always welcome.
I'll update as soon as I can.
