This is Anna scribbling once more.
Rosemary had the COOLEST idea.
We were ready. And as she said, it was going to be the greatest, funniest, perfect little trick that was definitely heading for greatness.
And Jeanie was going to help us!! Magnolia's little sister is totally one of us.
"Okay. It will all start out with Anna, in his dorm room. Remember, the password to the Slytherins is 'Goals' and the entrance is hidden under that crocodile picture on the first floor, north corridor. And his dorm room # is 308." Rosemary informed us.
"All right." I replied.
"At that time, Jeanie will also enter the Common Room of Slytherins and around ten minutes, she will come out of that hiding place and surprise Tommy. Got that, Jeanie?" Rosemary explained Genie's plan.
"Okay. First floor, north corridor, crocodile picture, password is Goals, wait 10 minutes and then scare Tom." Jeanie repeated.
"And Tom is likely to freak out and head to the Main Hall. He's gonna sit down, and calm down. After 10 minutes, Lila will come out of the darkness and make him run to the Prefect Room." Rosemary declared. She paused, and then continued.
"He will come into the Prefect Room and cool down AGAIN. The password to that place is 'Power.' After 10 minutes -- yeah, I get tired of repeating 10 minutes every second,-- I will come out and make him scram to the Prefects Bathroom, where he'd think no one's try to harm him there. But Magnolia will be hiding there for HALF AN HOUR, so he gets a sense of security. By the way, the password to that bathroom is 'Mermaid.' Then, she'll show herself and terrify him. Then we'd take off our costumes and laugh at him when he gets to the Main Hall." Rosemary defined.
I cannot wait for tonight!
And Jeanie'll be there too, and she'll help.
I KNOW Jeanie will make us proud, she's Magnolia's sister. She said the costumes are really pretty, so we said she could keep hers after the little trick. She was very happy. She's delightfully wonderful.
Tom will be so pissed off.
SoOoOoO... This was our chat at lunch:
Tom: "Uhh,... since when are you hanging out with Jeanie?"
Rosemary: "Hey, what have you got against that little Jeanie? She's so adorable."
Lila: "Just like Magnolia. Therefore I guess you'll like her in no time."
But he decided to ignore Jeanie.
"So,... who are you going to the Gryffindor Dance with, Magnolia?" he said.
"You," Magnolia said, "if you want to dance till midnight."
"Cool." Tom answered with a smile. Jeanie was listening. She said, "Who are all of you going with?"
"Silvanus with Rosemary, Magnolia with Tom, Lila with Philip, and me with Amos." I said, "Do you have a date?"
"Renoir," Jeanie said, "In 3rd year, Gryffindor."
"That's cool, Jeanie." Rosemary smiled.
Later...
It was 9:30 pm. We all met in Anna, Lila, Jeanie, and Magnolia's dorm room. We went over the plan for the hundredth time. We put on our costumes. AND our masks. Rosemary sneaked off at 5 am in the morning to Hogsmeade so she could buy the masks the day before. Tommy would immediatly recognize us without them, so we're all very thankful.
Then, after talking & giggling, at 11:49, Rosemary said, "Okay. Now Anna & Jeanie, hurry up to the Slytherin Commons. Then, Lila, hide in the Main Hall. And I'll be in the Prefects' Common Room, and Magnolia will sneak off to the Bathroom.
"Ready? All set? Any questions?" Rosemary finished. We shook our heads.
Jeanie and I rushed to the first floor, went across the north corridor, and stopped at the crocodile picture. "Goals," Jeanie whispered to the picture. Instantly, it sprang open, and we went in. We looked at the room, then at each other. It was a SCARY sight.
A HUGE, circular room, with a picture of Snape hanging, as tall as the wall itself. And then carved into the other walls, millions of snakes.
"Are you SURE you'll be okay right here for 10 minutes?" I asked her.
"I'll live," Jeanie replied, "but how COULD they enjoy a common room with a 100-feet high portrait of Snape staring at them with its ugly crooked nose and unwashed hair???"
"I know, right." I said, "I'll be in room #308 in case of emergency."
We hugged each other goodbye, and I ran to Tommy's dorm room. Since he was a Prefect, he had a room to himself.
"Tommy..." I growled in a low voice, but not loud, "TOMmyyyyy....."
"Huh????" he yawned, waking up.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle, I will have vengeance. I shall take your life..." I groaned back.
"W-w-who are you?" he whimpered.
"Poseidon," I took a microsecond to enjoy his terror and my cleverness, "friends..."
