Chapter 20
Revenge
Shayna had worried what would happen now that Harry knew. But it was no problem at all. In fact he went out of his way to be nice to her. She wasn't really sure who was more shocked the first time they said "Hi" in the halls, his friends or her's.
She and Professor Dumbledore sat in the library. Shayna now fully trusted Dumbledore, and used him as sort of a living diary. She had told him all about hating Chang, and Warren. Then what she had learned about him. And today they were talking about Harry.
"I never knew why, but he makes me so uncomfortable." She told him "It's better now that he knows about me. But I still feel kinda guilty, like part of his troubles are my fault."
"Banish those feelings!" Dumbeldore instructed "Never allow yourself to take the fall for some one else's wrongs. Especially if that person feels no remorse. Do not blame yourself, Harry doesn't. Why you couldn't even walk when your father did what he did."
She nodded and scratched her ever itching arm. Dumbledore looked at her. "What is that?" he asked "What?" Shayna said looking behind her The Headmaster grabbed her wrist and pulled her arm close. He searched it eyes squinting, as if reading some tiny print. "I don't know what it is." Shayna said uncomfortably "It won't wash off."
"No of course not." he replied distractedly This bothered her, Dumbledore was the kind of man who always paid attention to what some one was saying. And then quite suddenly he dropped her arm and stood up. "I'm sorry, but I must go. Good night Miss Riddle."
Oh well, she could probably use the extra sleep. She exited the library and ran down the grand staircase, her footsteps echoed on her way to the Slytherin common room. (Mandrake)
No sooner had she stepped thru the wall then the girls had crowded around her. all of them talking at once, mixed with the chatter of the other Slytherins. Shayna thought she heard words like "ugly git" and "water log enchantment" Every thing was blurred into a roar though. "STOP!" she cried over their voices "What's going on?"
"Well" Jes reasoned "You really should just come and see it." And they led her up the stairs to the dorm. And she wondered if she had to see it, why had they all been trying to explain? But as the large oak door was pushed open Shayna forgot all of that.
The dorm was an absolute wreck! Shaving cream covered the floors, at least 3 feet deep. Toilet paper hung like beaded curtains from the rafters. A water log enchantment had been applied to the ceiling, that would cause it to rain buckets every 20 minuets. The velvet green comforters were floating a good 10 feet in the air above each bed, which was covered with a thick layer of blue jell-o pudding. A large blue banner hung over the window, it read: With love from the Ravenclaws
"Chang" Shayna breathed That little priss had asked for it thus time. Now it was beyond war, she would pay for this. Prefect or not revenge was all that was on Shayna's mind in the hours it took to clean the mess. And after that, the real work began.

Lunch time came and the girls filed out of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Moody had developed a nasty habit of watching Shayna carefully with his magical eye during class, and pointing out every time she got something right. He was just so creepy, but she had to put him out of her mind right now, there were games a foot. As the five girls reached the great hall Selphie was handing every one sandwiches. Shayna entered the hall alone "Be back." she smiled
She strolled passed the other tables as casually as she could. "Sleep well Riddle?" Cho called from the Ravenclaw table Shayna ignored her as she reached the Gryffindor table and took as seat right across from Fred and George. "Hello boys" she cooed They remained silent. "Look I need a favor from you two, and you know I'll make it worth your while."
"Yes" George said annoyed
"I need the password to the Ravenclaw common room."
"What's in it for us?"
"How'd you like the points you lost during our Quidditch match back?"
The boys smiled identical smiled at her. "So you've returned from the land of the Prefects? Good to have you back. The password is bean sprout, it's behind the 3rd suit of armor at the west end of the second floor corridor."
"Nice doing business with you boys."
An hour latter the girls had finished with Chang's dorm room. The floor was now covered with tacks, a blanket of confetti over them, so they could not be seen. The curtains had been replaced with the Ravenclaw's bras and underwear. A dozen eggs exactly had been cracked on the beds, the comforters tied the wardrobe drawers together. A howler lie under each pillow containing the message "SLYTHERIN RULES!" And a green banner was hung that read" Slytherin returns the love ... with style.
