A/N: Oneof these will hopefully come out everyday till Christmas. :D Enjoy!


Christmas Special! The Second Day of Christmas- Albus

*~Albus~*

Herbology yesterday was very exciting, but for Merlin's sake, it was terrible today. How did we go from decorating the castle to feeding Hagrid's flobberworms? It's Herbology. I don't care if we fed them dead mandrakes, it was so… so dull!

Scorpius and Allen were cracking jokes the whole period and Allen taught us how to play poker in Divination. At least before Trelawney really freaked him out by declaring that his death would be bloody and soon.

Poor Allen.

"Don't worry buddy. Trelawney's 'prophecies' almost never come true," said Scor, patting his back cheerfully. That didn't really improve his mood so when we got to Transfiguration, he seriously messed up. We were supposed to be turning sleighs into reindeer. Well, Allen's turned into a panda. Yeah, McGonagall didn't like that. She gave him detention.

"So what happens to the deer after class?" wondered Allen.

"Or in your case, the panda," snorted Scor.

"I think they just turn back. It is a temporary change," I said, uninterested. They looked at me with raised eyebrows. "You alright Al?" asked Scorpius.

"Eh. Been better. I haven't had a good prank today."

"McGonagall thought the panda was one," said Allen glumly. I shook my head, making my already untidy black hair even messier. "No, I need a real prank. Like the mistletoe event yesterday."

We entered the Great Hall early and almost no one was there just a first year from our house. I looked at all the Christmas décor and felt a stirring of an idea. Christmas colors are red and green. There was a lot of red around, but personally, I felt the need to add more green. "What's with the face Potter? You look like Black Allen."

We turned and saw Lavi and Kestrel with some books under their arms. "Black Allen?" Scor looked at Allen curiously, "What's he mean, mate?"

Lavi shuddered. "You don't wanna know."

"I just thought of a really fun prank." I murmured, "Quick! I need access to the kitchen!" Allen brightened. "I know where that is!"

Lavi rolled his eyes. "You would."

Scor gestured to the door. "Lead the way, Allen. Albus, fill us in on this mastermind plan of yours."

Kestrel shook her head. "I'm finding that I don't wanna know."

"I do!" yelled Lavi, racing after the group of Slytherins.

"It's too much red. I feel the need for more green."

"...I don't get it," harrumphed Lavi, folding his arms.

"All in good time, my impatient Ravenclaw. All in good time."

"Is he creeping you out too?" whispered Allen. Scor and Lavi nodded and I laughed. We stopped at the large painting of a bowl of fruit. Allen reached up and tickled the pear and the picture swung open to reveal a bustling kitchen full of house elves. One came waddling up to us. "Is there anything we humble elves can do for the young masters?"

I put on my best persuasive smile. "Well, we were wondering if we could put a plate of food together for a friend of ours. See, she's laid up in the infirmary."

All the house elves got excited and started grabbing random food and drinks for Tsiyone. In all the commotion, I slipped into the next room where they left dinner simmering in the pots and pans. Apparently, they cooked the meals for the different houses in colored pots. I went to the red one and took out my wand to mutter a few choice words. I slipped back to my friends to see that Allen and Lavi had been loaded down with enough food to feed a small army while Scor had a platter of tall glasses full of coffee, pumpkin juice and iced and warm tea. "Thank you so much," I said politely, taking a few trays from Lavi and Allen, "Our friend will be very happy."

I paused and added, "By the way, we were never here. That's an order."

"And if someone orders you to tell them, you have permission from us to lie through you teeth," added Scor.

The house elves bowed us out of the kitchen with vows of silence and we walked to the infirmary. "Generous little buggers aren't they?" mused Scor, balancing the tray of drinks as the staircase moved to a different section.

Lavi shook his head. "There is no way Tsiyone is going to be able to eat all this."

"That's what we brought Allen for." When we neared the infirmary, we heard Tsiyone sneezing like a foghorn.

"Hey Sneezy, feeling a bit under the weather?" teased Lavi. Allen gave Lavi a look and sat down on the foot of her bed. He started to open his mouth but he frowned. Tsiyone, half her face covered in a handkerchief, peered at him curiously.

"Sumting wong Awwen?" she asked through her stuffy nose. Scor and Lavi pressed their lips together, laughing. Tsiyone glared at them dolefully. "Yeah, yeah waf it up. Wet's see how 'oo wike it wen 'oo catch it."

They backed up in horror. "You're still contagious?" yelled Scor in a funny high-pitched voice.

"No," said Madame Pomfrey in annoyance, "She's just trying to scare you."

"Well it worked on those two," I snickered. After checking her temperature, the nurse left to see to worse off patients in the quarantine room. This flu was spreading like Fiend Fyre. Allen smiled and walked around to her bedside table. "Look at all these cards. You sure have a lot of well wishers," he said with tight smile.

Tsiyone looked really concerned. "Aw 'oo soor 'oor awight Awwen?"

Allen backed away from her. "It's nothing. I'm just a little worried about Albus' prank."

She brightened immediately. "Pwank? Wah pwank?"

"Yes Al, please enlighten us," wheedled Lavi with a mock bow and a grin.

"C'mon mate. Let us in on why we practically snuck into kitchen to 'steal' food from the house elves," Scor demanded imperiously. I smirked.

"Do you really wanna know?"

"Yes!" exclaimed my friends, who were now all grouped around Tsiyone's cot. "Something very humiliating will happen to every Gryffindor that eats dinner tonight." Tsiyone shoved her tray violently away. "In the Great Hall, Binesi. Yours is fine."

"Wa's gonna hawpan to dem?"

"I'll take pictures to show you. No doubt the looks on James' face will be worth documenting for future posterity," I snickered with glee. Tsiyone rolled her eyes and dug into her food with gusto. As we predicted, it was far too much for the ill girl to eat herself and she pushed the rest to Allen, who took the food across the wing with a frown, stating that it would just make Tsiyone feel worse to watch him gorge himself.

Which we all knew was true.

"The scary part is that Walker will still be able to eat when we get to the Hall, too," whispered Scorpius conspiratorially. Lavi snickered and we all just talked about random things. Tsiyone still hadn't heard about Linali's "Mistletoe Mishap" as it was now known as. When we told her what went down, she howled with laughter that shook her to the core. Shook her so much, in fact, that she started coughing rather violently and Madame Pomfrey kicked us out.

Dinner was a load of stress- for Allen, Scor and Lavi anyway. Allen and Scor kept craning their necks to get a load of the Gryffindor table and I could see Lavi trying to use Kestrel as a step stool to see over a particularly tall fifth year. I noticed that Linali wasn't eating and Kanda was staring suspiciously at his food. He looked as if it had mortally offended him.

"Did you tip off Kanda and Linali?" I asked Allen. He swallowed a particularly large treacle tart. "No. Though maybe they guessed. Kanda's good at sensing when something's off and he's usually right. Linali will usually take his word for it."

"When is whatever's going to happen going to happen?" grumped Scorpius, shifting in his seat anxiously. "What's with you?" I asked, a little surprised. Scor loved to mess with Gryffindors, provided he warned-

"I forgot to tip off Rosie."

Oops.

Suddenly a shriek of horror came from the opposite side of the Hall. Lily was holding her red ponytail, clearly upset. Probably because the end of it was turning forest green while her skin was a lighter shade of the same color. James was roaring in angry frustration because he couldn't stop this own "transformation" while Rose and her roommates were grilling Linali and Kanda as to whether they knew this would happen. They both were shaking their heads, though Linali was giggling a bit and Kanda's lips were twitching when he turned away from them. The whole Gryffindor House was in a panic. Even McGonagall looked shocked and was checking her own skin and locks. Allen stared at the fiasco. "You're brilliant, Albus. Brilliant!"

"I'll say," whistled Scor. I watched Lavi take out a camera and snap a picture of James and wink at me. Tsiyone was gonna love this. I smirked and leaned onto my elbows to admire my work. Ah yes, it certainly was starting to feel like Christmas now.

And so ends the second day of Christmas.
