Chapter 11

Holidays ended on the 4th when the train returned with students with lessons resuming the next day. Amy and Jen waited for Hermione at the carriages and the 3 girls had a happy reunion. Sadly with the arrival of the students it also meant the arrival of Draco Malfoy and his cronies.

Now he took to bragging about his magnificent holiday and the ball while laughing at her once again for staying here at Hogwarts.

"Ugh, I am going to kill him one day!" said Amy frustrated her hands balled to keep from jumping on Malfoy and beating the smug smirk out of his face.

"We need to prank that prick. He is becoming insufferable." said Jen as they entered the den. Hermione had dashed to the library for something and would join them soon.

"The one thing Malfoy likes is his image. We have to prank designed to embarrass him." said Amy sitting on the couch loosening her tie.

"What should we do?" asked Jen.

"Shave his head off?" Amy said the first thing that came out of her mind. She looked at Jen both of them imagining Malfoy bald and they burst into laughter.

"Yeah! That is amazing. He won't walk around like he owns the school till it grows then we prank him again."

The door opened Hermione walked in. "What's going on?"

"We are planning an epic prank on Malfoy." said Jen with a dramatic effect.

"What?"

"A prank? Malfoy?" said Jen slowly as if talking to a little girl.

"I heard what you said but why?"

"Why? Seriously Hermione? He has been insulting us first chance he gets and nothing happens to him. Snape gives him points and takes ours for his faults. We need to put him in his place." said Jen viciously.

"Well if you say it like that…it sounds like a good idea. What is your plan?" said Hermione reluctantly but both Amy and Jen grinned. They needed Hermione's brains in this.

"We are putting shaving cream in his shower gel." They burst into laughter again as they pictured a bald Malfoy.

"Bald Malfoy is too drastic don't you think? What about turning his hair into maybe pink?" said Hermione.

"Aah welcome to the fun side my friend." teased Jen and Hermione glared at her but laughed all the same.

"You 2 need someone to keep you in line. I mean I go on holiday and you go gallivanting around the castle looking at strange mirrors!" said Hermione (they had told her about the mirror and some of their escapades). "Beside it does sound like fun."

"It sounds like fun because it is fun." said Amy and they began to discuss what to do.

"Guys you have to put a counter so that his hair cannot be changed back by magic or washed off." said Hermiione and Amy said, "Damn, great idea. I knew we needed you in this."

Hermione soon found a counter spell from her books. It wasn't the best since the others were too advanced for them. as long as Malfoy was seen with pink hair, it will be awesome for them. Amy would set up the prank with her cloak.

At night she followed the Slytherins to their dungeons and after setting up the prank, she sneaked back out breathing a sigh when she was not caught. She managed to frame one of his roommates too though she didn't know who.

There was a loud scream in the dungeons the next day and a frightened nearly hexed Goyle and a very furious pink haired Malfoy. The whole day people laughed at him and made fun of him. Turns out madam Pomfrey had told him to wait it out a I would last a day and to make sure he changed his hair gel.

"Love the look Malfoy." said Amy.

"Yeah the girly look does suit him." said Jen and they laughed.

"I don't think Pansy liked it so much. Maybe you can try green house colors and all…" said Hermione and they laughed leaving an embarrassed Malfoy.

This was the worst day of Draco's life. Madam Pomfrey couldn't turn it back and he had to let it wash out naturally. Goyle had done this to him though he couldn't think how he had got the guts to do it but he was going to get back at him. He tried wearing a hat but people took it off. He had been called a girl, a punk and many names he couldn't imagine and the SR (Student room) was full of his picture and he was the talk of the school in the chat rooms.

Comments on his profile were many and it was so embarrassing he had to shut it off. Of course this got to his dad (some fool thought it fun to send a picture to him), and he called him shouting at him for embarrassing the Malfoy name.

When he saw Potter he knew she had done it. Something about the way the 3 stupid girls were acting told him that but he couldn't prove it. No. It had to be Potter but how did she do it?

Draco approached her and said, "I know you did this Potter."

"How did I do it? I can't get in the Slytherin dorms can I and didn't your pal Goyle confess already?"

"I will get you for this Potter! Mark my words!" The prank had been a success and the 3 celebrated in the den eating snacks and just having fun.

On the 7th of January the quidditch games timetable was set up and Madam Hooch gave each one in the team a copy.

Alces vs McGrath 22 Jan

Hogwarts vs Gillian 4 Feb

Elton vs Alces 12 Feb

McGrath vs Gillian 22 Feb

Elton vs Hogwarts 28 Feb

Elton vs McGrath 3 March

Hogwarts vs Alces 8 March

Gillian vs Alces 13 March

Elton vs Gillian 18 March

McGrath vs Hogwarts 22 March

All the Hogwarts games were going to be home based so the other teams would come to Hogwarts. "I wish we were going to the other schools. I wanted to see what they were like." Said Amy.

(Gillian's Mountain School of Magical Arts Wales

Elton High School of Magic London England

Mydrin Druid Magic School Wales

Alces School of Sorcery Norfolk England

The McGrath Academy of Magic Ireland)

"I have only been to Elton in London. its really nice more modern set." said Jen.

With the timetable now out, Amy was busy now with her quidditch practice. Madam Hooch was even worse that Oliver Wood but she was a good coach. She also had to keep up with her lessons with professor Dumbledore and her school work so she didn't have much time for fun. Draco was now taking to doing some stupid stuff like trying to trip her, sabotaging her work and was just plain annoying but she refused to give in to him.

HOGWARTS VS GILLIAN 4 FEB

"So when are the students from Gillian coming?" asked Hermione.

"Right about now." said Jennifer looking at the entrance of the great hall. 28 students came along with their coach and they arrived at lunch and joined them all for lunch. Gillian school colors were green and silver like Slytherin only darker green with a eagle shaped logo.

"Welcome to Professor Winston and to the students of Gillian. It is a pleasure to meet you all." The Hogwarts students cheered. "Feel free to explore but with one of our prefects to make sure you do not get lost. Enjoy the feast."

Amy could see the students who were sitting on different tables glancing their way and sneaking glances. Obviously being told she was the 'girl who lived'. Amy rolled her eyes. When will it ever end?

They had lunch and soon it was time for the game. Amy was so nervous in the changing room. She changed into the tight black pants and jersey and the school quidditch robes which were black.

"Relax Amy. You will be fine. This is our first time too." said Fred.

"Really?" said Amy surprised.

"Yeah. We only joined the quidditch team last year so…" said Gorge and Amy nodded feeling much better. She could do this. When she was in the air, all her nervousness went away and she played her best. She managed to catch the snitch when the score was 90 to 60 in favor of Gillian just a few feet from the ground maneuvering so she didn't crush winning the game 210 to 90. The Hogwarts student cheered and Amy was carried by her team mates much to her embarrassment.

VALENTINE and DINNER DANCE 14 FEBRUARY

The girls dorms were all full of giggles and squels. Today was valentine day. the older students were of course receiving gifts from their boyfriends. Also tonight was the valentine ball for the olde students and these past days, it had been chaos of asking dates, getting dresses ready and finding presents.

Amy, Jen and Hermione were all walking to the dining when a boy named Sean came up to them. He was a second year and Amy thought he was really cute with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hi. Can I talk to you?" Sean said blushing. It was clear he was really nervous. Amy nodded glaring at a smirking Jen.

"I um, I got you this. Happy valentine." He said so fast and going red in the face.

Amy smiled and said, "Thanks" also blushing red. He then leaned in and pecked her on the lips before he left leaving Amy dazed.

The whole way to the great hall Hermione and Jen teased her while giggling. Her glare did nothing to make them stop. It only made it worse especially when the rest of the table found out she had been kissed thanks to Jen.

It didn't take long for the circus to start. Even some 3rd years got her a valentine present.

The most spectacular present however was from Steven their fellow housemate and close friend to Neville. He had a well known crush on Amy but they had never really talked except in class. He sent her a charmed card to sing to her and delivered it in the great hall. Both Amy and Steven were bright red by the time it finished and everyone was in laughter even the teachers.

Pansy came over to laugh in her face and Amy said, "At least I got presents. I didn't see you getting anything." Pansy turned pink. "What is the problem Parkinson? Malfoy didn't get you anything?" said Hermione.

Pansy wore a hurt look just briefly before th arrogance returned. "That is none of your business Granger." Pansy really reminded her of Dahlia.

"Oh, poor, wittle Pansypoo… He must have used all his money on hair gel." said Jen and Pansy turned red and stomped off amidst laughter.

By the end of the day, Amy had 30 presents (those she knew not counting the ones from other schools which were with professor Dumbledore) and her first kiss from Sean. Hermione had 5, Jen had 2, Parvati had 13 (she was really cute) and Lavender had 6.

Their dorm was full of hatter and giggles as they discussed boys and some girl talk. "I still say we should be allowed at that ball. I mean really? We aren't children!" said Lavender indignantly.

"You are 11 Lavender." said Hermione as she placed her freshly laundered clothes in her closet.

Lavender shrugged. "It's part of the growing up experience. We got valentine presents didn't we?" said Parvati and Hermione rolled her eyes.

"You can get a 3rd year date next year." said Amy and the Lavender and Parvati beamed.

"Of course but now, we need to sneak in there."

"Parvati!"

"Come on Hermione. Live a little will you. It's going to be fun. What do you say?" said Lavender. "We all have to go."

Amy said, "I can't say I am not curious though I will be noticed because everyone knows me and I am too small to pass for a 3rd year. We will be found out."

"No. We will wait till they are dancing. I heard Lauren that 4th year student saying that she heard from someone that Lorcan is there singing. He is hot!" said Parvati.

"Lorcan is going to he there? I love him! He is amazing!" gushed Jen.

"He is also a vampire." muttered Hermione.

"But hot. Come on!"

"Why do I even bother?" said Hermione.

"Is that a yes?"

"Will you leave it if I say no?"

"Get dressed."

The 5 girls got into some nice dresses and they snuck out. "If I get in trouble it's all your fault." said Hermione.

"You won't now come on."

They walked to the great hall and got in time for Lorcan singing. He was really tall and had black hair, piercing ice blue eyes and snow white skin. His voice was silky and hypnotic and Amy was hooked.

The 3 girls did their best to blend in and even got to dance with some boys before they snuck back to their room. "That was so much fun." said Parvati.

"Only because you danced with that guy." said Jen smirking. Parvati had scored a dance with a really handsome 4th year name Francis.

"He was cute."

"And he had a date." said Hermione disapproving.

"Come on. Don't tell me you didn't have fun?"

"I was busy worrying about not being caught!" said Hermione but smiling.
