Chapter 10:Planning Revenge

I had to see my friend whom I have not seen since this morning. I never thought that my friend would think that I would become Malfoy's girlfriend. Every time I thought about become Malfoy's girlfriend it sent a chill down my back. It was too creepy for me to think about. I found every one in the Great Hall. "Hi guys. Sorry about this morning."

"It is ok. We are just a worried about you."

"Well just to let you know you guys are not my mom or dad."

"Sorry but you know how much Malfoy hates us."

"I know. I hate him to but he could be nice. Never mind what am I saying?"

"I think I know." Ron whispered to Harry.

"Shut up, Ron. Would lay off her?"

"What did you say about me, Ron?"

"Nothing."

"You think that I'm going to start loving Malfoy."

"Ok, so I was thinking that."

"Why do you think that I would do that?"

"I don't know. May be you should try to live with five other brothers. You hear some really weird things. It wears off on to you."

"Ok but still it is kind of gross."

"Liz is right." Hermione said. "It is gross. Man, Ron you are sick."

"Sharon what do you think?"

"Huh, what did you say?" She was not paying attention.

"Oh, yeah Ron you are sick. Your brother Fred is not sick."

"My brother is sick. I think I would know."

"Well he is not sick to me."

"Well he wouldn't be to his girlfriend."

"Ok we are not dating."

"Not according to him. He talks about you all the time."

"Ok, that is weird because I only think about him."

"So that's what you were doing."

"No I was thinking about my family."

"Yeah right."

"Ok Ron you can shut up now." I said.

"Why should I?"

"Because if you don't I will make you shut up. Many ways. One is that I could break your jaw or I could do a jawbind potion. Either way I will shut you up."

"Ok, ok, ok. I'll shut up." He backed off in fear because he knew I could do it.

"Thank you. You two can talk about that later. Now we a plan to get back at Malfoy big time."

"Ok like what?"

"I really don't know. Ron will you ask your brothers on what to do?"

"No."

"Ok then Sharon will you ask Fred what to do, please?"

"Sure no problem."

"Thanks, since Fred and George are the pranksters of the school. I thought we would ask them. Ok, got it?"

"Yep," said Sharon.

"Sure, no problem," said Ron.

"Yes, I'll do anything to help," said Hermione.

"I will be so glad to get back at Malfoy," said Harry.



That night we all stayed up late to think of ideas Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Sharon stayed up in the Gryffindor common room, so they don't wake anyone up. I went to the Slytherin common room. The next day we met up in the Great Hall. "So, how did you guys do?"

"Not to good. You?"

"Not to good either. Sharon has you talked to Fred, yet?"

"No, not yet."

"Ok, but you need to him soon."

"Ok."

"Actually, how about you go and ask him now?"

"Sure. Guys come with me."

"Ok."

"Bye, I'll meet up will you later."

"See ya." After studying a little, Harry and the others came in and sat around me. I closed the book I was looking at and asked, "Ok, so what did Fred say?"

"He mostly talked about dungbombs. It got annoying after a while. But most of them involved them at night or being very close to him."

"I am not going to do any of those ideas because I won't going anywhere close to him."

"I thought you might say that. So what if you put rats in his bed before he goes to sleep?"

"I think I will do that."

"Good, but you will need to go in to the boys dorm."

"No, not really. All have to do is use my wand and stand in the door way of the dorm."

"But what about the other boys?" said Sharon.

"I will have to be extra cautious."

"No wonder why," said Ron.

"I'm warning you Ron do not piss me off."

"Fine whatever."

"Just because I'm the daughter of Sirius Black doesn't mean I get special treatment. Ok, so if I were you I would shut up."

"Ok. Ok. I'll shut up."

"Ok"

"Yeah. Well since you talked with Fred, I'll put the rats in his bed tonight. That way he won't suspect it."

"Your good," said Hermione.

"You were going figure out how you were going to pull this off."

"Oh, yeah I was thinking of doing while every one brushing their teeth. It will be so funny."

"I know. Just wait until tomorrow. He will be so pissed," said Harry.

"That is the point."

"I can't believe that you guys are doing this," said Sharon.

"Why you saw he did?"

"I know. But still he does seem to be getting better."

"Have you gone awol? He is so mean to us. You know that," said Harry.

"Ok, I get the picture."

"Ok you can lay off Sharon now," said Hermione

"We have more important thing than this. We don't to be fighting between each other. Ok?" I pointed out. "Guys I need to plan a back up just in case I get caught. Wait, Harry may I use your invisibility cloak?"

"Sure I guess."

"Thanks. That pretty covers everything. I do not have to worry about getting caught because of the invisibility cloak. Um anything else I should worry about?"

"Not that I know of. How about you, Ron?" asked Hermione.

"Nope. You Harry?" asked Ron.



"No, not me. Sharon, do you have any thing?" asked Harry.

"No, sorry." asked Sharon.

"Ok then this meeting is adjourned."

I was walking to the girls' bathroom when I saw Crabbe and Goyle fighting with Malfoy. I think it was about what happened with the dance, when they deserted him for Marcy. I was glad that even his only close friends are too busy for him. It was funny but at the same time I kind of felt bad for him. People should have at lease one friend but I knew it wasn't going to be me. I had to pass them to get to the girl's bathroom. So I walked pass them and tried not to look at them but was it hard. I also couldn't help laughing. I gave a little giggle when I went by. They didn't hear it. I was so glad. I went to the bathroom then went to the Quidditch field where Harry was having practice. I joined Ron and Hermione in the stands. Damn he looks fine in that uniform. Sharon was on the other side closest to Fred. Staring at Fred like a mindless idiot.

"Oh Harry wanted me to give this to you. It's the invisibility cloak," said Hermione.

"Thanks. Look at those two, Sharon and Fred." I said, as Fred flew down and gave flowers to Sharon.

"They are the perfect couple," said Hermione. Ron gave them a disapprove look.

"Oh come on, Ron get over it. They will probably start dating." I said.

"Well my bother and one of my friends is wrong," said Ron.

"Oh come on as long as they're happy who cares?" I said.

"I still can't believe that Sharon and Fred are becoming very close. First Fred who's next George?"

"Calm down Ron. It's not the end of the end of the world." I said.

"To me it is."

"You will fall in love some time soon," said Hermione.

"It's a fact of life." I said while watching the Quidditch. "Quidditch is a very interesting sport." I quickly changed the subject.

"It's cool," said Hermione.

"I hope I will get on the Slytherin team some day." I said.

"And play against Harry?" said Ron.

"Oh yeah. Well, I'll try not to beat him to badly when I become seeker." I said with a giggle. It was getting dark. So Oliver stopped the practice and told the team to come back tomorrow for more practice. Then Harry flew over and landed in the stands. He said, "Oh good Hermione gave you the cloak."

"Yeah thanks for letting me borrowed it."

"Hey, no problem." He looked at me the same way he did the pervious night.

"Ok, but can we head back now? It gets creepy out here in the dark."

"Sure no problem," Ron said.

"Wait where's Sharon?" I said.

"Oh she went back with Fred. If I'm correct they were holding hands," said Harry.

"Whoa, that is too much information." I said in shock.

"That is too much," said Ron in disgust.

"I think that nice," said Hermione. We all looked at her in amazement.

"That was random." I said. Well we all walked back in silence. Harry and I kept sending looks to each other. Since I was walking next to him he held my hand. It was hard to tell because our sleeves were long. (Truthfully, mine were long.) When we got to the Slytherin tower, we said our good-byes. I went up to the girls dorm and watched for went all the boys were out of the dorm. Then I moved in. I put the Invisibility cloak on and went in to the boy dorm. It was way different from the girls' dorm. It was dirty and messy, clothes all over the place. I thought that my nana would have a field day cleaning this room. I put the rats in Malfoy's bed. Crabbe and Goyle walked in. I waited till they came in then slipped out. I went to the common room. I went to a dark corner and pulled off the invisibility cloak. I heard a scream 

and started to laugh so hard my side began to hurt. Malfoy came running out of the boy's dorm and right toward me. I stopped laughing.

"You. You." he said.

"Yes what did I do?" I replied like I didn't do anything.

"You put the rats in my bed didn't you?"

"Well."

"Didn't you?" I jumped back.

"Ok so what?"

"I hate you."

"Thank God. I thought you would never say that. That is music to my ears."

"You wanted that?"

"Duh."

"Ok well in that case. I forgive you, Liz."

"Damn!"

"Ah too bad." I walked to the girls' dorm. I started laughing again.

Then Pansy Parkinson said, "What are you to laughing about?"

"Oh nothing."

Then Mary, Marcy's older sister, came over to us and said, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing just I put rats in Malfoy's bed."

"Good one. But my friend, Natalie, could do better."

"Well this was a last minute thing."

"Ok but next time it helps if you plan these longer."

"Ok." I said.

"My name is Mary Harris. I'm a seventh year."

"Hi Mary. I'm Liz Black."

"You're the famous Liz Black everyone is talking about?"

"Um, I'm not famous I'm just a girl. Like every other girl."

"Well not really. You're the daughter of Sirius Black."

"I know. I'm a 12-year-old girl that goes to Hogwarts. So what's wrong with me have my dad in Azkaban?"

"Nothing."

"Ok."

"So what do you what to talk about?" I said.

"Um so you hang out with Harry Potter?"

"Yeah. He's really nice."

"Are you and him dating because I saw you and him go to the Valentine's Day dance?"

"No, we're friends."

"Ok. I just wanted to know."

"Well we're just friends."

"So do you think that you and him will start dating?"

"I don't know." I said curtly.

"Ok. Don't get all mad at me."

"I'm not. So your sister is hanging out with Crabbe and Goyle."

"Yeah. How did you know?"

"Because she looks just like you. Which is good that she's hanging out with them because it makes Malfoy mad at them. And they get in to fights."

"And why It that good?"

"It's hard to explain."

"Ok." I had a feeling she knew why.

"Well I need to go to bed. Goodnight." I said with a yawn.

"Yeah I'm going to bed too."



"Come on." We walked to the dorm and went to bed.

The next day, Mary and I went to find the others, to tell them last night. We found them in the great hall. "So what happened last night?"

"First guys meet Mary." They waved. "Ok I put the rats in his bed. Then he came out scream like a girl. He got mad at me then forgave me which was bad."

"He forgave you?"

"Yeah sad isn't it."

"You're telling us."

"There is no stop to him," said Harry.

"I know I might as well become his girl friend."

"Don't!!" said Harry very loudly. We all looked at Harry In surprise. Please, God tell me he has a crush on me. Please! Wait why do I care he already confessed to me that he does. Duh.

"Why?"

"Just because."

"Ok." I said in a curious voice.

"What was that all about?" Ron whispered to Harry.

"I don't know that just slipped out."

"You like her don't you?"

"No I just don't want a good friend becoming Malfoy's girl friend."

"Oh, come on you like her."

"No I don't."

"You like her and you know it."

"Ok I do happy now?"

"Yes."

"What are you two boys talking about?" Hermione interrupted.

"Nothing why?"

"Because you two are talking about one of us." Sharon said in a disbelief tone of voice. I didn't care what they were talking about. Unless of course if was me.

"We weren't talking about you girls." The three of us gave them a disbelief look. "We weren't," said Ron as his ears turned bight red. We knew he was lying. It was too funny. Ron and Harry walked away.

"So who do you think they were talking about?" said Hermione.

"Liz, they were so talking about you," said Sharon.

"No they weren't."

"Yes they were because I think Harry likes you."

"Yeah right."

"Oh come on. You heard what he said to you."

"I know but he may just not want that."

"Oh come on I'm going to find out he likes you or not. See ya," Said Sharon.

"Bye." I replied.

"She does have a point."

"Oh my God. That's it I'm going to the Slytherin tower. Bye." I said. I couldn't believe what I had heard, but at the same time I was so glad my dream had come true. Then my dream was shattered because the evil one was coming over to me. I tried not to look at him but I could help to see what he was going to do. I had a bad feeling in my stomach. I was ready to beat the crap out of him but I didn't think I needed to.

"Hi Liz." Malfoy greeted me in a mischievous way.

"Hi. How are you?"

"Good and how are you?"

"Fine."

"What are you up to?"



"Nothing just sitting here. Why?"

"I was just wanted to know."

"Ok." I replied in a worried voice.

"What are you doing later?"

"Um hang out either with my friends or in the girl dorm. Why?"

"Because I was thinking that we could hang."

"That will happen when hell freezes over."

"Why do you hate me?"

"Well let's see, you insult my friends and you will doing anything to get me."

"Ok sorry."

"Good-bye I need to see my friends."

"Bye baby." My mind went blank.

I turned around and said, "What did you call me?"

"I said bye baby."

"You never will call me that again. Got it?"

"Yeah."

I just walked away. I ran in to Hermione and Mary in the great hall where I left them. "Guys I have just heard the creepiest thing. I was talking with Malfoy and I was leaving and you know what he said, 'bye, baby'. I froze. My world was at a stand still. I couldn't believe what I had heard. He also said do want to hang out later."

"This guy has become a complete weirdo," replied Mary in shock.

"I know that." I said. "I think I'm going to ask Professor Dumbledore to see if I can switch houses."

"What and leave me to Malfoy to deal with?" complained Mary.

"Sorry, but I'm sick of this. I want to go to the library." I said with a stutter.

"Are you trying to avoid us?"

"No of course not."

"Ok then, bye." Mary rudely said.

"Bye." I left and went to library. I thought about things like potions, charms and Harry. I thought what if they were talking about me. I wanted to find out at that moment. I went back to the Great Hall to see if Sharon had come back yet. She was there. "So what did they say?" I asked as I walked In.

"Nothing, but Harry said to meet you in the library right before dinner."

"Ok. Did he say why?"

"No."

"I know why," said Hermione with a sly grin.

"Oh my God, you don't think."

"Yeah."

"Oh no, that is not going to happen."

"Oh come on. With that kind of move you know something is up," said Mary.

"Yeah right. Any ways did he say anything else?"

"Um, not that I know of."

"Ok. I'm out of here see ya. I need to go and.um.and" I walked away.

"Bye, Liz."

"Bye Hermione."

"Liz wait up," called Sharon.

"Liz so what are you going to wear?"

"Don't know."

"Wear a mini skirt and a tank top."

"No that is over doing it. I think I'm going to wear a dress shirt and a pair of nice pants."

"Oh come on wear at lease a dress."



"Ok, but your helping me picks something out. My mom sent me with all these formal clothes for like all these special occasion."

"Ok."

"I'll go get the outfits. Since you can't come in to the Slytherin Tower."

"Ok go to Professor Mc Gonagall's class room."

"See you there." I ran to the Slytherin girls' dorm. I pulled out my very large trunk from under my bed. I opened it and grab all the outfits I was willing to wear. I walked quickly to Professor Mc Gonagall's classroom and met up with Sharon. "Ok here is one outfit." I put a black skirt and a blue satin shirt together.

"What about putting this and that together?" Sharon suggesting put a black spaghetti strap tank top and a long black skirt together.

"Yeah that will do, I guess."

"Will do? It will knock him right out of his chair."

"Yeah right."

"Ok, ok. But are you going to wear makeup?"

"I doubt it."

"Ok"

"Well, I'm going to see Harry. Bye."

"See ya lover girl."

"Sharon, stop that."

"Ok."

I walked out and figured that Harry and Ron were in the library. I dropped my clothes off in the Slytherin tower. I walked in and the first person I saw was Ron so I want over to him and said, "Hey Ron."

"Hi." He replied nervously.

"Have you seen Harry?"

"Umm. yeah I saw him by the animagus section."

"Thanks, bye."

"Your welcome, bye."

I walked up to him and said, "Hey what's up?"

"Nothing and how are you Lizzy?" Lizzy I thought. Is he ok?

"Same." I finally replied.

"What's this about you wanting to see me before dinner?"

"Ah yes, change of plan I need you to follow this map that way no one can walk in on us."

"Ok and why did you call me Lizzy?"

"That just slipped out."

"Any ways are you asking me out on a date?"

"Well, sort of. I think of as a privet get-together."

"Well I guess you can say that."

"So are you going to come?"

"Of course. So what's going to happen at the get together?"

"Well I was thinking of dinner and stuff."

"Cool. Sounds fun."

"Also Jen Dumbledore, Professor Dumbledore's wife, is going to set it up."

"Um. why?"

"Because she thought that we are perfect couple."

"Ok."

"Well here's the map." He handed me the map. I took the map.

"Thanks I will see you later."

"Bye" Harry said then kissing me on the cheek. I blushed a bright red. I walked away feel very happy. I ran in to Malfoy on the way out.



"Hey Liz."

"Hi."

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing." I replied while thinking about what would happen that night with Harry.

"So. Will you sit next to me at dinner?"

"I can't I have a date."

"With who?"

"Just a guy."

"Who?"

"None of your business."

"I will find out. Some way or another."

"Whatever." I walked away from him.

"Don't you walk away when I'm talking to you?"

"I will do what ever I the hell I want to do."

"No you won't." He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him.

"Let go of me!"

"No."

"That's it." I elbowed him in the stomach then twisted his arm. "I'm going to tell you once and I'm not going to tell you again. Don't touch me again or I will hurt you worst next time. Got it?"

"Yeah got it."

I let go of him and walked away. I went to my dorm and put the map on my nightstand and took out my dairy and started writing. I wrote what happened and what I hoped would happen that night. I wrote my deepest secret in it. Even though it wasn't a secret because Harry knew that I had a crush on him. I first time in a while. I heard some one coming so I put the dairy under my pillow. It was Mary. "Hey Mary."

"Hey."

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing I was just looking for you."

"Oh."

"Sharon told me that you went to see Harry."

"Yeah I did."

"So did you two talk about?"

"Stuff."

"Like what?"

"Like what we're going to do tonight. He gave me this." I held up the map.

"Oh what is it for?"

"It's the map to the room we're going to be in."

"Really," said Mary with interest.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing."

"Any ways I need to go to the library to get a book on vampires for some light reading. I'll be back in like five minutes." I went to the library. I didn't go to get a book on vampires I went to see Harry again. Mainly because I really hoped he would tell me more about what was going to happen tonight.

Mean while back at the girls' dorm, Mary was copying the map down on another piece of parchment. "Ok that go there and Professor Snape's office go next to the boys' bathroom and done. Now all I have to do is follow the map to where they're going to be and spy on them."

Back at the library, "Hey Liz what are you doing back in here?"

"I was.um.looking for a book on vampires and I was also looking for you."

"You were?" He cocked his eyebrow.

"I thought we could talk."

"Ok what do you want to talk about?"



"Well I thought we could talk about our lives before we meet each other or something like that."

"Ok well I guess we could talk about that."

"Ok." We sat down at an empty table.

"Well life for me was bad. I had to live with the Dursley. Then Hargid came to a little lighthouse in the middle of the night and told me what I really was. A wizard."

"Cool."

"And he gave my cousin Dudley a pig's tale."

"Is Dudley the really mean one that's over weight likes his father?"

"Yeah that's the one."

"Well if it's ok with my mother you could probably could come and live with us for the summer."

"That would great I wouldn't have to deal with Dudley braking my glasses."

"Let me see, your uncle Vernon never would fix them. So your would have to put tape on them."

"Yeah it's like you read my mind." We stared in to each other's eyes for a while. "So what was your life like?"

"Well, I spent all my time around muggles and I loved going to the ocean and to a lake in New Hampshire. I go to New Hampshire every summer all summer. That's where we would be going to if you came to live with us."

"I would be able to keep in touch with Hermione, Ron, and Sharon right?" "Of course. We can write them together."

"Yeah. So what does your house up there look like?"

"Well it's brown and it has two driveways and across the street is the forest and in there are these rocks that I like to climb. I also go swimming every day in the lake."

"Cool."

"Yeah and you will meet my friends like Whitney, Darren, Nike, John, Tom, Big John, Dillon, Justin, Cheryl, Noreen, Kathleen, Eileen, Charlie, Kristen, and Pete."

"Most of these people are boys."

"I know but they're either older than me or younger than me."

"Oh."

"I make friends very easily."

"No wonder why I liked you from the start."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, it's just I had a good felling that we would become friends."

"That's so sweet."

"Ok that was not like you."

"I know it's the side of me no one ever see of me that often."

"Interesting."

"What?"

"Nothing its just interesting that you try to be tough but you're not inside."

"I know. Guess what I did to Malfoy."

"What?"

"Beat him up somewhat."

"You did?"

"Yeah I elbowed him in the stomach and twisted he's arm. I told him not to touch me again because him and me got in to a fight and I started to walk away, he pulled me back. So I had no choice."

"I kind of feel bad for him."

"Why?"

"Because, he really didn't do anything. Besides the black and blue wrist, the insults, and the love potion incidence."

"See."

"Ok I get it but still."

"Forget it."



"Ok so what do you want to do?"

"Don't know."

"Want to go for a walk?"

"Ok." We walked out on to the grounds. "I see a spot where we can sit down by the lake." Harry said. He pointed to a spot under a tree. We walked over and sat down.

"It's so beautiful out today."

"I know. Just like you." I looked at Harry weirdly.

"What?" Looking at me in a confused look.

"Nothing, just that was random."

"Oh."

"But it was nice. Thank you."

"No problem."

"So do you think that there are more live things in there besides the squid and fish?"

"Who knows there may be mere people? I read that in a book once that mere people can live in various places."

"Cool."

"So did you do anything interesting besides beating up Malfoy?"

"Um, no."

"Oh well"

"So what did you do today?"

"Nothing I just was look up a book on animagus to see if Sirius is one of them."

"Cool but he is."

"I know I what to see if he is one of the ones that the Ministry of Magic knows about."

"Ok." He laid back a stared up at the sky. "Look at cloud they're so interesting. They just float up there changing shapes."

"I know." I replied as I looked up.

"Are you tense or something?" He asked as he sat back up.

"No, I was just thinking about my friends in New Hampshire."

"Oh. Tell me more about New Hampshire."

"Sure. Well Whitney she's like my best friend. I've known her since I was four. Darren is four and I watch movies and play with him. Justin is six, he's spoiled but he's a good kid. Noreen is Whitney's mother and she takes us shopping. John is seven he's really cute and funny. Tom is John's older brother he is nine. Dillon is Darren's second cousin. Dillon is very loud. Mike is nine he's ok but he can get really annoying. Nike is ten his step bother I see all the time at the T station at home in Quincy. Charlie is an adult that's wicked funny and he does dangerous things and cool things. He put this liquid on a pile of wood that my friends and me were going to light for a bonfire. I lit it and it bust in to flames. No on was hurt, thank God. Pete, he's an adult to. He has a jet boat it goes wicked fast. Pete is Darren's grandfather. Kathleen is Dillon's cousin. Eileen is Kathleen's sister. Kristen is Nike's bother. She's fun to play with. She's seven. Cheryl is Pete's wife. She is cool. Big John is an adult too. He is funny at parties. There are all my friends."

"Wow. You have a lot of friends."

"I know."

"Well it's getting dark you should get ready for our date."

"You said it was a formal get together."

"Oh well, I admit it's a date."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye, Lizzy. I mean Liz." He smiled. I smiled back. I walked back up to the castle.
