Redone (19/7/10)

While Max had been in Japan before the second task Laura hadn't just been sitting around idly, she had been plotting. The impending doom that Max had felt at any given point was her fault.

Her first idea hadn't been so bad. She had just changed the colour of most of the food. No one ate the dark brown mashed potatoes or the bright yellow drink. It was a shame since it was Red bull and it would have been so funny to have hyperactive first years.

Her second idea didn't go so well. Making the teachers cross-dress should never be done… ever. Laura was planning to make the students cross dress in a few months when she finished some more research.

The next one was really funny, Laura had almost gotten caught because she was laughing so much. What ever a teacher said would appear written in the air behind them no mater how quietly they spoke. Laura had given them all different handwriting and colours. Snape had naturally had the pink flowery handwriting. Dumbledore's was reminiscent of a German accent for some bizarre reason. For some reason McGonagall's writing was not only in tartan but actually wrote a Scottish accent.

Her last plan was about to play out, this would be her greatest achievement of the term far outstripping anything that others had thought of.

It was dinner and everyone was in the great hall eating. Ron as usual looked like a pig at chow time. No wonder the Gryffindor students never had an appetite. The hall figured something was up though when some music began to play. There were a few sniggers as some muggleborns recognised the tune. Then Hermione began to sing.

"The internet is really really great," she sang.

"For porn," added Ron quickly with his mouth still full of food. Hermione glared at him.

"I've got a fast connection so I don't have to wait," Hermione continued. The song went on and Neville, Seamus and Dean were dragged in for the later part. The Slytherin could barley contain their laughter, many of the Gryffindor students couldn't and the Bulgarian students didn't even try. McGonagall looked ready to explode.

"I expected more from my fourth years! Detention for all five of you," she yelled.

"Professor it can't have been their fault, they don't even know what porn is," one of the older Gryffindor students piped up sending another wave of sniggers around the room.

Operation internet for porn was complete.

Two days later, there was announcement at dinner.

"I would like to ask students not to keep asking our muggle studies teacher about the internet. If you want to learn about it then you should have signed up for it," Dumbledore announced.

Laura smirked, this had worked better than she had expected. She began plotting for her next plan.

She had been doing some sensible things as well as causing chaos. She had noticed that Moody was a fake and planed on ousting him when she could be bothered. Too early and someone else might become the spy, at least with Moody she knew who it was.

She had also been plotting for how to get Max to turn up for any point during the rest of the year. She wasn't going to fall for the same trick as the one she had planed for second task. She could fake an emergency as Max was supposed to be protecting Hogwarts despite the clause that Max had added saying she could go places for small terms of time to conduct other business.

Laura sat at the blue and bronze table watching Hermione berate Ron about eating with his mouth constantly open. She smiled as she shot a spell at Ron and laughed at the look on his face as the food on his plate began to grow legs and wander off.

One of the chicken legs was rubbing itself against Hermione like a kitten. Another decided it wanted too, so it ended up with two chicken legs trying to fight. It was quite amusing. What was just as funny was when a lump of peas decided it wanted to fly. It failed.

"Interesting spell, it's a variation of a charm that donac's use to train their young to hunt," came a dreamy voice beside her. Laura knew it was Luna without even turning her head.

"Hi Luna, how are you today?" asked Laura carefully watching the Gryffindor table for analysis on what the prank was doing exactly.

"Fine, I only had to find one of my shoes today, the nargles seem to be less active, so they're probably beginning to hibernate," answered Luna. Laura knew the real reason; she had gotten annoyed and threatened the people who usually took the stuff. She was pretty infamous about her pranks, her jokes tended to be more subtle than the twins were.

"So nargles hibernate, when you're older you should write a book about these creatures, you seem quite the expert."

"I might but it would probably be thought of as fictiona… someone has a book of death," Luna said cutting up her first thought.

"A what?" Laura asked worriedly. The book of death could be a death note but it had been destroyed.

"It's a book that belongs to a shingami to kill humans to extend their own life spans. They sometimes give it to humans for fun. A shingami just entered the hall." That sounded like a Death Note to Laura

"What do shingami look like?" asked Laura curiously.

"I don't know, I can't see them, I just can sense them," said Luna vaguely. Laura could tell she knew more than she was letting on. After being able to tell when Max was hiding something, Luna was no trouble. Laura noticed some of the mashed potato was getting too friendly with the carrots and quickly cancelled the charm before things got intimate.

"It was just getting to the good bit," whined Luna. Laura rolled her eyes and then got thinking what she would do next. She supposed she should get around to doing her schoolwork but after looking at it decided not to. It was boring and simple, why people found it so hard was beyond her.

The term carried on, Laura was bored to tears. Max had made the place lively but everyone was being polite to the foreign students and not doing anything that could be considered rude.

The other ninjas had been scarcely seen, for one they didn't want to be pranked and for two it was getting to crowded for their likings, with foreigners they preferred to observe for a while before joining them.

That and they had been warned about death eater spies and didn't want to catch their attention. Naruto was particularly creeped out by some of the Bulgarians, they seemed so serious. Not like the fun loving people who had resided in Hogwarts.

Speaking of Sirius, he had taken to drinking since Harry had gone, he blamed himself even though he had been repeatedly told that it was Dumbledore's fault by Laura and letters from Harry.

He had yet to notice his alcohol was actually apple juice but since he was used to pumpkin juice he had no idea. Laura was defiantly cunning when she wanted to be. She had no idea how much Max outstripped her though, she had noticed Max subtly pushing her and Sasuke together. She didn't mind but she would get her revenge and some plots tended to be embarrassing. She wondered what the team was doing.

Sasuke was doing what he normally did, brooding over the death of his family, he did it in secret because last time he did he regretted it.

Flashback to a couple of days ago

"What are you doing little brother?"

"Uh… nothing." Brooding might be a sign of weakness.

"Good then you can spar with me, Max isn't here for me to beat and the others are doing productive things, not thinking about the past," said Itachi throwing a kunai as a challenge. Sasuke never backed down from a challenge. So threw one in return.

End flashback

Itachi wondered if the bollocking he got from Laura about trying to kill each other in front of the school was worth it. It was worth it last time and winding up Sasuke was so easy.

Yes, it was defiantly worth it. But maybe Max was rubbing of on him a bit, normally he wouldn't find taunting his brother this much fun.

Shikamaru was staring at the stars trying to decide whether he should bother to get up and go inside, it was cold but he was to lazy to move.

Naruto never wanted to move again, his stomach was in so much pain. The kitchens were amazing but he had defiantly eaten too much. The elves were defiantly his best friends in the magical world.

Ino was watching the house elves scurry around the castle. She had made it some training, the house elves would disappear if the knew they were being watched. She could practice stealth and become a better ninja.

Akamaru was training Kiba to be a better master. They had been practicing in the forest away from as many prying eyes as they could avoid. The trees were the main casualty.

Laura was sitting in a tree reading a book, since she had entered this dimension she had spent some little time on reading fiction. She had decided to catch up now to get inspiration for her next lot of pranks.

Despite none of them showing it, all of the ninjas missed Max. The two that knew details of her missions in Japan were worried for here and both of them worried about her safety. They both were wondering if she would come back in one piece. Max seemed to have a blatant disregard for her own safety. As shown when she proved Light to be Kira. She could have been killed if she had underestimated the powers.

After the second task, Laura sat in a tree watching Max as she waited for the portkey to activate. Laura could tell that trouble was going to find Max, it always did.

Max sat clueless to everything going on around her. She just wanted to go back to Japan, things always seemed calmer there.

Laura jumped down to join her for a bit.

"I bet you want to know how they got Itachi," smirked Laura. Max returned the smirk.

"The portkey that was supposed to bring him back got altered and Dumbledore ambushed him as it landed" Laura said her smirk widening as she saw the gleam in Max's eye. The Ex-ANBU removed something from her pocket.

"I don't care how you do it but get this into Dumbledore's drink," Max explained handing it over.

"What does it do?"

"Wait, see and laugh." Were Max last words before the portkey activated. Laura sighed, Max knew how to make an exit.

Max landed in her room in Japan and was just grateful that no one had broken in to find her gone. She did notice a piece of paper on her bed and took back the whole thing about someone breaking in. The note hadn't been there when she left. She checked it for spells, contact poison, traps or similar. When the tests came up negative Max opened the thing cautiously and scanned the content.

After reading it several times to make sure she had read it correctly she threw it at the bed and sighed. It was from the host club, they had gotten record takings when she had been making her appearance as Mu and they requested she help again.

Of course, this was in fancy words and upper class language, and full of hints and threats of blackmail. Max sighed again and flopped down on her bed, she would have to tread carefully not to be coerced into this. She would not want to have to entertain girls again, she really had to take her hat of to Haruhi, she managed it as a girl. She deserved a medal not only for being a host but dealing with the hosts themselves.

Max was kicked out of her thought by the doorbell. Max remembered she did actually have a doorbell it was just no one bothered to use it. Applying her Mu Henge as she went Max walked to the door dragging her feet acting slightly tired. At the door, surprise surprise, were the hosts. As usual, Mu tried to shut the door and as usual, she failed.

"I don't want any damn Girl Guide cookies," Mu said and tried again to shut the door. The hosts all had confused looks but it didn't stop them from preventing the door from closing.

"We want you to beco…" started the tall blond one.

"No" Mu interrupted.

"I hadn't finish…"

"The answers still no," Mu said. It was like training a dog, you had to be firm and stand by your actions never showing weakness.

"I have a proposal fo…"

"No."

"You haven't heard it yet."

"Do I need to hear it to reject it?" asked Mu, she was really getting impatient.

"Yes, so you know wha…"

"The answers still going to be no."

"Can I finish my senta…?"

"Nope." Mu was trying so hard to keep a straight face by now. She failed and burst out laughing. The hosts looked at her as if she was a few flowers short of a bouquet and automatically backed away as if it was contagious. Mu took the opportunity to shut the door.

Back at Hogwarts, it was dinnertime. Laura had succeeded in getting the item into Dumbledore drink. She was watching intently for signs of the effects of the item.

It was when Laura saw Dumbledore shift uncomfortably in his seat she figured it was a laxative of some sort. She wasn't far off, it was industrial strength laxative, the same kind Louise used in interrogation sometimes. Everyone watched in confusion as Dumbledore dashed out of the room. Everyone except Laura and any ninjas that were watching.

The tension was high with the Durmstang students, the third task was approaching, one of the champions was missing, and none of that champions group were taking things seriously. The Hogwarts students were used to this but still on edge, no one actually knew what Max had done for the second task.

A few months passed and the Third task was rapidly approaching. Laura had found an idea to get Max to turn up. Then later she found out that Max would have finished her stint in Japan anyway. Now she had to get Max to turn up to the actual task.
