A/N This will prove to be a busy chapter but it will cover a large chunk of time. After all Almost Two months will have gone by between when Chapter 12 began and this chapter will end. Some of you probably are wondering why the Chapter is numbered the way it was. Well for the reason behind it read the Authors note at the beginning of Chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Moral Dilemma. Please note when I originally planned the plot out for this series this chapter was going to be two chapters but I decided to merge them so I wouldn't have to use filler for some of it.
Arigato to the author formally known as Melissa Ivory for assisting me with this chapter.
Chapter 13(14) Prank Plans and Badgers
A few weeks after the Ball Amy was sitting against a tree along the grounds as she was writing something down.
Plan one for annual prank
Overturn a bucket of water over McG
Back Up Plan
Charm Slytherin Banner in Great Hall so it Says Gryffindor Rules
Thankfully she had written it in an ancient language once used by the wizards of Britain but which had long ago been replaced by Latin, some of the other Romance Languages and Even the Germanic Languages like English. A Little research by Ritala had come up with a book on it in the Hogwarts Library. The language was so old that translation charms wouldn't even work.
"'Ey There Amy what are you working on?" Hagrid asked her.
"Nothing really Hagrid. Just working on something extremely secretive."
"I better warn you Professor O'Brien has studied a lot of the ancient languages She might be able to translate your work."
"Thanks for the warning Hagrid."
"You have apparently been busy lately Amy after all you haven't been by for tea even."
"Well I've had a lot of homework to do for classes. You know how it is. You were once a second year yourself after all."
"Yet Geoff, Shiki, Marcus, Emily, Elly even Abby and Joshua have made it down on Fridays."
"Maybe I've just been trying to be more studious then them."
"I hope so. Grades are important. I hope you've been getting enough sleep."
"That I have Hagrid my experiences end of last year taught me a lot," Amy commented referring to when she fainted from lack of sufficient sustenance after she had received an academic warning from Binns.
"I don't think anyone wants to see you end up like that this year."
"Well you add my name to the list that is for sure."
"Good to know."
Hagrid them very carefully sat down next to her.
"You looking forward to your mother having her baby?"
"A little bit. After all We have the twins as it is. Three babies will really make it a challenge for her to work on her writing that's for sure."
"Knowing your mother she will manage. After all when you were a baby she was still a student and had to balance her studies with taking care of you. It was a challenge yet she faced it with all her energy and beat the odds."
"You think so Hagrid."
"You bet Amy. Come on let's take a walk."
"Where to Hagrid?"
"Just follow me as best you can Amy." Hagrid instructed her. Amy soon realized they were headed for the village. The Gamekeeper soon came to the Three Broomsticks.
"Hello Hagrid," Rosmerta said as they walked to the bar. "Hi Amy."
"What's up Rosmerta?"
"Not too much Amy. Didn't expect to see you today."
"I didn't exactly plan on being here."
"Hagrid talked you into it huh?"
"Well She needed a change of scenery Rosmerta."
Amy soon was busy sipping a butterbeer and didn't notice someone slipping up behind her. After a few minutes a few firecrackers went off under her stool. Hagrid reached down and lifted George up.
"Gerroff Hagrid."
"You'll never change will you George."
"Well I was in town visiting my sis and decided to make a visit here for Auld lang syne."
"Sadia and the twin marauders with you or did you come alone."
"Sadia yes the twins no. Katrina and Kaylee are believe it or not at my parents."
"Grandma was willing to let those two pint sized pranksters visit without Sadia on hand."
"Yes she was actually. I know they aren't on your list of favorite people but I bet given time you'll get to like them better."
"I might but don't hold your breath."
"I try not to even if some probably wish I would."
"I doubt that otherwise Fred would have to work the store alone."
Amy stayed for lunch then headed for the house.
"Amy, how come you didn't hint at stopping by?" Harry wondered.
"Last minute plan. I was working away on some stuff on the school grounds when Hagrid walked over since I hadn't visited him in a while and next thing I know we are headed for town. I hung out at the Three Broomsticks for a while then came here."
"I see," Ginny said. "Things undercontrol at school No academic warnings at all?"
"None that I've been informed of. But then Binns didn't tell me about the one I had last year until After my birthday."
"I took the liberty of asking the teachers to let me know at the earliest possible time should your grades start to slip even a hair," Harry said. "Any Academic Alerts and you will be suspended from the Quidditch team the rest of the year."
"I admit I'm not top of the class but I do pretty good in class even Potions."
"Good to here Amy," Harry said.
"What class did you get a warning in Amy?" Sadia wondered.
"History of Magic the professor is the biggest bore in the school most of the class tends to fall asleep. I actually worked my way into the hospital wing trying to get my grade up."
"How did that happen?"
"I sort of missed a few meals and was living on a periodic goblet of pumpkin juice that Dionia's dad would deliver to me. I ended up collapsing going between the library and Gryffindor."
"Not good Amy," Sadia commented.
Just then Screech showed up.
"Who is the Owl from?" Sadia wondered.
"My friend Lynda Malfoy," Amy took the piece of parchment off as she spoke.
Amy
The way things look now I will be at my mom's over Easter Holidays. You can still come though and bring who ever you want. Let me know who though.
Lynda
"Where does your friend go to school?" Sadia wondered.
"She starts Hogwarts next year," Amy replied.
Amy went back the low road after dinner.
AS the next few weeks went by Amy was tired most nights either from classes or Quidditch Practice that she would eat as much as she could and usually had a goblet of Pumpkin Juice near her. Before Amy knew it April 9th had arrived. She really stocked up good at breakfast that morning even if Julie was hesitant and could barely eat. Before Amy knew it they were waiting to walk onto the field.
"Ah Welcome to Hogwarts Field for todays Quidditch Match between the Gryffindor Lions and the Hufflepuff Badgers. Gryffindor is coming into this watch following an embarrassing tie against Slytherin at the beginning of the season while Hufflepuff was plucked by the Ravens of Ravenclaw. Lets start by Bringing out the Lions of Gryffindor Arnold, Blackwell, Connor, Margolis, Potter, Vernon, and Watkins. Now for the Hufflepuff Badgers Endicott, Mannic, Endicott, Lawrence, Laramie, Rowling, and Wu. Before we start let's just say that the weather couldn't be better."
"OK Everyone Mount your brooms," Madame Conway said. "On the count of Three. One two Three." She then blew her whistle as she flew up Scott Laramie the Hufflepuff Captain and Keeper quickly shook her hand. Amy headed for the Gryffindor Goal just barely getting there before Shina Wu of Hufflepuff sent the Quaffle through.
"Tough luck Gryffindor The Score is 10-0 Hufflepuff," Dan York called out.
"Put a cork in it York," someone yelled. "You know that rhymes," he told his companion.
During this time Gryffindor was working hard to catch up. Fairly soon the score was 60-10 Gryffindor. Amy had managed to keep the Hufflepuff Chasers at a disadvantage since they couldn't see to shoot the Quaffle and Julie kept herself close by to intercept the Quaffle and send it to an open Gryffindor Chaser. After a while a possible tragedy had started to occur as Blackie Endicott the Hufflepuff Seeker was getting close to the Snitch. Theo was too far away.
"Steve, Doppler Defense," Josh called out.
"Gotcha Josh, Doppler Defense in Three."
"Two."
"One," They called as they both hit the same Bludger right at Blackie knocking him off his broom as his hand was mere millimeters from the snitch.
"That was a spectacular block by the Gryffindor Beaters. It looks like Hufflepuff is out of the running as a Timeout is called such that the Hufflepuff Seeker can be attended to.
A Short time after that Blackie was lead off the field and his sisters Sheela one of the beaters and Hillary a second year followed.
"OK everyone remount your brooms," Madame Conway called.
"Hold up Madame Conway," Laramie said. "With Blackie hurt and Sheela making sure he is all right Well it just doesn't feel right continuing the game therefore I've made the executive decision to Forfeit."
"You sure of your decision Mr. Laramie?"
"Yes I stand by my decision," Scott said.
"Very well Mr. Laramie," Madame Conway said.
The Hufflepuff team then headed for the locker room with the other four players screaming at their captain for making the decision they did."
"Well we won," Julie said.
"It just doesn't seem the same Julie, the main reason we won was because Laramie decided to forfeit after Josh and Steve knocked out their Seeker. If anything we will have our hands full with the Ravenclaw match."
"We'll win the cup for sure Amy," Julie said. "What do you have planned for Easter Holidays."
"My cousins and I along with Shiki are going to Lancaster to visit Lynda Malfoy at her mothers."
That evening At dinner Amy was keeping an eye out for Hillary so she could inquire about Blackie when Joshua walked over.
"Amy, you know what St. Mungo's is at all?"
"Yeah why do you ask?"
"I was in the Common Room over in Hufflepuff when Sakura Baika one of the Japanese students came back and said how that guy Blackie had gone into a coma and his family was taking him there. What is St. Mungo's as it is."
"It's a Hospital. It's full name is St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies.
