A/N: I don't own the HP chars. All the rest I do. Well only Solana and
Jessica. The rest of the rest belong to themselves, so don't sue unless you
**absolutely, positively under any circumstances** sue me. Even then,
don't. lol You won't get much!
CHAPTER 3
"You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffis are true And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends." Solana sat back on her heels. "Hmmmm so how would I achieve my end? I won't. but what should I do right now?" Solana looked at the wall.
Gryffindor
Sarah looked around the entrance, the Fat Lady stared at her. "I'm a Gryffindor, really. You can let me in" She tried talking to her. The Fat Lady shrugged. "Look, I need in. My stuff is inthere, and if I have to sleep out here, the least you can do would be let me get my stuff!" Sarah shouted, she was getting mad now. "You can not sugar puff me!" The Fat Lady stated. Sarah stared at her, slightly afraid, and resolved to sit down and think of a way to get back at the portrait.
HufflePuff
Beth looked at the painting in disbelief. 'A broomstick? With a. Yellow Badger on it?' she thought, staring in disbelief. Having always been excellent at guessing passwords, she decided to think about this. "Quidditch!" she exclaimed. The portrait swung open. She smiled to herself. She stepped into the very yellow common room. 'YUCK! This room is hideous! It's too yellow. almost too bright to look at.' She thought putting up a hand to shield her eyes from the yellow room that seemed to be glowing... She pulled out her cell phone. 'Technically this shouldn't work, neither should any of our other gear. BUT! I found away around that." She called Sarah, who picked up right away, and called Solana right away, who then called Liv.
"Hello? It's Beth."
"Hey! I can't get in the common room" "It's easy Solana. What's your portrait?"
"There is none. It's a blank stretch of wall."
"EeEEw. Well try something horrid and gross."
"Ours is a Fat Lady" (a shrill scream heard in the background saying "I AM NOT FAT!!! I'm BIG BONED!")
"Sarah. Try Sugar Puffs."
There was a pause, when Sarah had obviously said "Sugar Puffs"
"I'm in!"
"Good! Now.. mine is a Raven, puffing out its chest. likes its proud. and its in a blue room.." "Olivia. That's easy! RavenClaw pride!"
"I'm IN!"
"Great. WHAT AOUT ME?!?!"
"Whoa! Solana! Calm down! Try. "Bloody Baron" Ok?"
"YAY! I'm IN! I'm IN! It's. all a wonderful evergreen green!"
"Uh. lucky you. Mine is a disgusting glowing yellow."
"Oh yeah! Well mines a really weird deep red!"
"Mines a wonderful shade of blue!"
"HMPH! Well I'm gonna fix up this place.. Bye guys!"
"Bye Beth!" they all said, hanging up.
Slytherin
'Wow! This place is cold.. but cool. I have to say cool. oh. shoot.. which way is the girls' rooms and the guys' room?' Solana thought. Solana trudged up the left set of the stairs. Oh well. She dragged up her suit cases.
'Stupid people.. I have to drag up my own stuff. 5 suit cases!' She started pulling them all up. With great relief she found an empty bed, and put her stuff next to it. and began to un-pack.
Finally she got all unpacked and got changed into her pjs.. A tank top and long pants, green with lots of little yellow ducks on them.
RavenClaw
Olivia found her luggage and began to drag them up the right stairs (no pun intended). 'Hmmm. I need to work on some plans, this whole common room looks quite dull..'
Gryffindor
Sarah left her suitcases in the common room, and went to the guys' rooms. "I wonder what's in their suitcases." Sarah went into the boy's room and began to look through their trunks. "OOOOOH!!! Harry's gotta a. eeeeew." She shut the trunk immediately. She went over to Rons. "Whoa. look at all these trinkets!" Sarah pulled out a deck of cards and the wand.
EXPLODING SNAP Playing cards.
The card package read. 'Neat-o! Now.' she thought, and she took them out of the packaging and began to shuffle them. she looked at the wand. 'It needs a make over.' She brandished a bottle of 'Nuclear Green Goo' nail polish. And then, she began to paint it. 'He should like that. It glows in the dark too!' she thought, capping the bottle, and putting it back in her pocket. She went back over to Harry's trunk and took the hideous picture, and pocketed it. Just then the cards exploded. She jumped. 'Oops' She put everything back and ran to her room, got in her pajamas and got into bed. She looked in her suitcases for a pen, and took the picture out of the frame, and began doodling on it.
Back in Slytherin
Solana began to look through the people's stuff. still not getting she was in the guys' room. "DUCKY SOCKS!!!" Solana yelled. 'Oh wait. Why would he be in the girls' room?' she thought, and shrugged it off, seeing to her delight a pair of black leather pants. "EEEEEEEEEEE!" she squealed with delight. "AAAAAGH!" a startled voice half yelling, half surprised said. Solana froze and slowly looked up. "M.Malfoy!" She squeaked. Draco glared at her, taken by surprise. "Put. Those. Ducky. Socks.Down." He said slowly, and with much venom in his voice. Solana did as she was told and slowly stood up, and for some reason put her hands on her head. "Now. When you leave this room, I suggest that you forget you ever saw those, and live each day, knowing that I will kill you if anyone but you knows about those socks."
Solana nodded. "Now. Go, Draco I'm going to bed."
"WHAT?! Solana was it?
"Yeah. don't over use it."
"Well, this is the guys room.."
"Oh. Ohhhh. OOOOOOOH!!!"
Draco having had enough of this, stormed out of the room, mumbling under his breath. A few minutes later, a long haird blonde girl came in, looking mildly interested. "Yes? Can I help you?" Solana said, strapping some stuff together and putting them in her suitcase. "Yeah. Need help?" she asked. "Sure! That would be great!" Solana said looking up for a moment and then continued to pack. She came over and began to pick things up and put them in a suitcase.
"My name is Katz by the way." Katz said zipping up Solana's last suit case. "Solana. Nice to meet you. Would you be able to help me carry these out?" Solana said picking up the largest suitcase and began to drag it toward the door. "Sure!" Katz grabbed a few and started to drag them down the stairs. "What's in here?! These are so heavy" Katz said, grimacing from the weight. "The base of our 'behind the scenes' of an evil company. Selling chaos.." Solana said in a low voice. Katz stared at her. "Well.. basically its just the stuff we use for our Steam Team." Solana answered her, they were now in the girls room.
"Thanks by the way! I'll unpack tomorrow." Solana said waving to Katz who got into the bed next to her own.
The Next Morning.
HufflePuff Common Room
Beth fell asleep on the couch after a *very* long night of remodeling. "AAAAAII!!!!!" A dark haired girl at the stairs yelled. Beth opened her eyes, rolled off the couch and rolled under it. "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR ROOM!?" The girl screamed. Beth heard other foot steps coming down the stairs. "AAAACK!" "OH MY GOSH!!!" "ITS BEAUTIFUL!" "ITS RUINED!" Beth smiled to herself. The room now had a light floral scent, many of them recognized from the train. The room was still yellow, but with bright pink and purple flowers with bright neon green leaves painted on the wall. Lava lamps on high tables in the corners of the room. The couches were moved around, and a glass coffee table (where'd that come from?) sat in the middle of the room. Little white daisies bordered the walls by the ceiling. The floor, instead of stone was now a bright orange color. The couches were shaped differently as well. glued to the wall, near the light switches to the lava lamps, were Pez Machines, only they were reconstructed, to dispense gum. A HUGE purple and green flower rug was on the floor, and. the doors were removed and in their place were beaded curtains. Beth heard one girl start to cry. "It's alright Cho. Its alright"
Great Hall. Breakfast time 9:00 am
Everybody was dressed properly. Except for the Steam Team, who came to breakfast in their pajamas.
Slytherin Table
"Hey Katz!" Solana went over to her and sat down rubbing her head. "Hi Solana. Why aren't you dressed?" Katz asked. "Cause, I am. I always go to breakfast in my pjs. Apparently. You guys don't." Solana said, surveying the room, spotting the rest of the Steam Team she waved them over. A trail of 3 other pajama clad girls walked over to the Slytherin table.
Draco glared at them, then turned around on his seat to glare at Solana from across the table. Katz smiled at him. Solana made a face, shoved some toast in her mouth, and picked up her lemonade, swallowed it. And watched with cool delight as it refilled, she whispered to the Steam Team something, then beckoned to Katz to follow them. As Katz got up, Solana handed her the glass of freezing cold lemonade, Katz looked confused, until Solana very slightly pointed at Draco. They walked past. A shrill shriek emerged from the table. Katz giggled and The Steam Team drug her from their spot. They left the Great Hall giggling and laughing, and a strange noise behind them was yelling "GET BACK HERE!!! GET BACK HERE!" "HAHAHA! Ya know what Katz, I think you made Snape mad."
OUT BY THE GREAT LAKE
"It has come to our attention, Katz Potter, that you have helped our leader." Sarah began, after they stopped their fighting and sat down. "Yeah." she said quietly. "So therefore, we must give you the chance, to join our ranks.." Sarah continued. "Really? That's cool!" Katz said loudly, only to be quieted by a few looks from the Steam Team. "This isn't fun and games until you can accomplish the initiation" Olivia said. "Initiation?" Katz echoed. "Yes. It has come to my attention that you have great potential. Would you like to take part?" Solana asked. "Y-yes" Latz saod eagerly. "Great! Steam Team! Huddle!" The Steam Team broke away from Katz and bunched together a little ways away, whispering.
They came back. "We have made your initiation course. Beth has remodeled her common room. The HufflePuff common room that is. We have come to a vote that we least like Snape, and Draco. So here's what you have to do." Sarah said, with a professional voice. "You must break into the HufflePuff Common room.. Then, you must get a pack of gum." Beth said proudly. "Then when in potions, give the pack to Solana .. And the rest, you have to figure out. the main thing is." Olivia said, as if she knew it by heart. "But, this will be timed, starting tomorrow at breakfast.. You must annoy Snape, and sabotage Potions Class . And have it done by the next class! that's the main thing!" Solana added.
