Mission #4
Have Ron Weasley and Marcus Flint Switch Places
"This has got to be one of the strangest ones we've had." Said Aragog.
"We've only had three." The Ravenclaw Prefect pointed out.
"Yeah but WHAT is the point of this?!" Aragog raged on. "What will we gain?! With Trick-Or-Treating, we could have potentially gotten candy! With the creating a new nation one, we could have potentially created a new nation and with the girl-scout cookie one, we got money and cookies but this one is just so pointless!! They're switching places and then…AND THEN WHAT?!"
"ARE YOU BACKING OUT ON ME ARAGOG?!?!" HOLL-ered the Ravenclaw Prefect.
"WHAT IF I AM?!?!" bellowed Aragog. "I'm just saying that this is REALLY stupid and pointless!! Whose idea was this?!?!"
"That's not important!" the Ravenclaw Prefect said. "We vowed we would do our best to complete every mission, NO EXCEPTIONS. We best wait until dark and switch them while they're sleeping."
LATER!!!!
"All right!" said the Ravenclaw Prefect as he rubbed his hands together diabolically and a shadow covered half his face. "It's bedtime now and ALL the innocent Gryffindors and Slytherins are in their beds tucked away dreaming sweet dreams of all sorts! Are you ready to go and complete our mission, Aragog?" And he turned to Aragog who was frowning.
"I still don't see WHY we're doing this." He mumbled.
"COME ON!!" the Ravenclaw Prefect said in an annoyed tone as he pushed the door open to the Ravenclaw Common room and he and Aragog tip toed down the hallway to the Gryffindor room. "Now, I'll get Ron since he's smaller and you get Flint and we'll meet back in the middle of the two common rooms and then we'll…PASS each other and then drop them off and then we'll meet back in the Ravenclaw common room, got it?"
"Got it." Said Aragog as he made his way to the Slytherin room.
"Percy Rules," the Ravenclaw Prefect whispered as the picture of the Fat Lady swung open. The Ravenclaw Prefect had to stop himself from giggling maniacally as he hurried up the stairs to the room with all the main characters except for Hermione were.
He discovered Ron in his little bed sleeping like a soldier with his arms firmly down his side and his feet together pointed. Then he noted the Invisibility Cloak at the foot of his bed and decided that he MUST use it just in case someone were to wake up and see a RAVENCLAW in the GRYFFINDOR room. So he put the Cloak on himself and then picked Ron up. It never really occurred to him to put RON under the cloak as well because he didn't. But that was okay because now Ron looked like he was hovering there and since he slept so stiffly he looked like he had a board underneath him.
As the Ravenclaw Prefect started to leave the room, he decided to wait for a minute as he watched Harry toss and turn in his bed.
"Snape…Voldemort…NO!!" Harry cried, clearly having a nightmare. "Ron! Hermione!! No, Ron…Hermione!! SCAR!!!!" And with that, he bolted upright in bed while breathing deeply. He immediately grabbed his scar. "It burns…" And then he noticed the floating Ron. "Oh Ron! You're okay! It was just a dream…" Then he lied down and went back to sleep.
The Ravenclaw Prefect decided to shake it off and continue on his merry way.
When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he noticed the Percy was standing there with his sleepy hair. After all, it IS the middle of the night.
"RON!!" Percy bellowed. "What are you doing out of bed?!?!"
"I'm uh…nothing Percy! Go away, I hate you!!" said the Ravenclaw Prefect, throwing his voice and pretending to be Ron. He can do that and you can't say that he can't because what do YOU know about this prefect? I bet you don't even know what the line is that made him famous: "Ravenclaws, follow me!"
"What?!" Percy said, stumbling backwards. "How can you hate me? I'm Percy! I'm a Prefect! I'm your older brother!"
"DISAPPEAR!!!" yelled the Ravenclaw Prefect as he swooped past Percy who was still too shocked to move or react.
The Ravenclaw Prefect wondered just how he had gotten away with that and why Ron had not awakened quite yet because both he and Percy and been yelling right in front of him! OH WELL!!
The Ravenclaw Prefect decided to pick up his pace so that he could end this task quickly. He turned the corner only to be faced with Professor Snape!
"Mr. Weasley!" Snape said as he grabbed his cape and crossed his arms. "I'll have you know that being out of your dormitory after curfew is strictly forbidden! Ten points from Gryffindor!"
The Ravenclaw Prefect was feeling somewhat evil so he decided to press his luck.
"I hate you Professor Snape!" said the Ravenclaw Prefect as he threw his voice again. "You have greasy hair and look like Jyou!"
"How dare you!!!" Professor Snape bellowed. "First you float around foolishly and make a mockery of me, then you INSULT ME?! I shall not have it! FIFTY points from Gryffindor AND you get a detention!"
Then Snape marched off, feeling somewhat proud of himself.
The Ravenclaw Prefect continued on his journey and passed Aragog in the hallway who was carrying Marcus Flint atop his body.
"Careful Aragog!" warned the Ravenclaw Prefect. "I just ran into Professor Snape and he's on the warpath!"
"Who said that?!" Aragog wondered aloud. "Was that…you, Ron?"
The Ravenclaw Prefect tore off the Invisibility Cloak. "No Aragog! It's me! I stole the Invisibility Cloak!"
"Oh!" laughed Aragog. "Okay!"
They both parted ways and headed to their respected common room. Aragog reached the Fat Lady portrait and said the password, "Percy rules!"
The picture opened and Aragog walked in with Marcus Flint on his back, made his way over to Ron's bed and dropped Flint on top of it. Marcus Flint grunted a bit upon landing but he didn't wake up.
Aragog giggled and ran out of the room and back to the Ravenclaw common room where the Ravenclaw Prefect was waiting eagerly.
"Now all we have to do is wait until morning and see if everyone falls for it!" laughed the Ravenclaw Prefect.
"What if they don't fall for it?" asked Aragog.
"Don't worry." Said the Ravenclaw Prefect. "No one will know it was us!"
Aragog and the Ravenclaw shared a nice warm chuckle but they might have been chuckling TOO warmly because some Ravenclaw third years yelled at them to shut up so they did.
THE NEXT MORNING!!
Aragog and the Ravenclaw Prefect went down to breakfast with everyone and looked around for Ron and Marcus Flint to see that Ron was sitting at the Slytherin table wallowing in self-pity and Flint was sitting with the Gryffindors yelling at everyone.
"I must have done something really terrible to have been transferred to Slytherin." Whined Ron. "I've shamed my whole family! There hasn't been a witch or a wizard that's gone bad that hasn't been in Slytherin!"
"TAKE THAT SIDE!!" Flint yelled as he commanded some wimpy Gryffindor first years to massage his feet. Since Flint was so scary and the first years were so unassertive, they did whatever he told them to do.
"Everyone's falling for it!" Aragog said excitedly. "You were right!"
"I'm always right!" said the Ravenclaw Prefect.
Suddenly, they saw Professor Snape approach Ron and yell at him for a little while. Ron got up and skipped back over to the Gryffindor table saying that they must have messed up or something as Flint walked back over to Slytherin, not really caring one way or another.
"That Professor Snape!" said the Ravenclaw Prefect angrily. "Always ruining all of our missions!"
"Maybe our next mission should be to kill him!" said Aragog.
"Maybe…" said the Ravenclaw Prefect as he rubbed his chin.
