CHAPTER 7
It was when everyone was in the Great Hall that they did finally put it into motion.. It was cruel Prank. Perhaps the worst yet.. In some ways at least. Lavender saw the signal then turned to Draco. "Draco." Was all she said, she punched him square in the jaw. It was part of the negotiation.. While the two fell off their chairs and were trying to cast a spell on the other , Jen took out of her bag, a cup identical to the regular ones. Glue was placed on the bottom, and an odd liquid poured in the cup, Jen placed it exactly where the other one had been. And with special training no one noticed.. No on e noticed that Katz had sprinkled an insane amount of pepper on his food either. The two finally sat back up, and everything else appeard normal. After a few glares, Draco went back to eating. His face grew slightly purple, and he went to get a drink, but his cup was stuck. He pulled and pulled, and finally it gave, the slightly steaming liquid splashed on his robes. He screeched. Jen and Katz rose at the same time, pretending to be upset, and threw their water at him, only Snape was striding down, and Katz' water splashed on him instead. Solana, her head knocked when Draco had stood up, knocked her over, she tried to get up, but it was too late, a foot struck her side, she rolled out of the way, and Snape had tripped, the water on the ground, and the way Draco turned, had made him slip and fall over too. Lavender was shocked, and she went to steady Draco, but he pulled her down too. Solana finally stood, but a small hand grabbed her ankle tripping her again. Solana kicked, but the hand held firm, but in a few minutes, a perfect aimed kick, the hand released and she went to sit down, giggling to Katz "Oops, that wasn't meant to happen." A student who was late, carrying a plate of jello, and a few bananas tripped on the water, squishing the contents on Lavender who screeched, trying to stand up. Snape, having finally shoving off three students, stood up, his clothes had food and water all over them, and a banana squished on his head, glared at all the students and stalked off. With much relictance, Lavender rolled off Draco, and began to cry, her robes ruined. The other student ran off, seeing Draco glaring at him. Draco, poor poor Draco. He and Lavender were given detention by Snape, who was boiling mad. Although it was obvious that fate had saved the Steam Team's Slytherin members. Snape refused to believe them. "No, I saw it.. Lavender and you. You started it, and they.. They tried to help you Draco." Snape said angrily. Lavender sniffled. "But, you aren't going to take house points away are you?" Draco asked, staring at Snape. Snape shook his head. "Dissmissed, you will need to be with Filch, he will tend to the rest. And you three, will be awarded 5 house points each." Snape left them.
Later that Afternoon
The Gryffindor members and the Slytherin Steam Team members met at Hagrid's hut. "Well, that certainly improved your image." Sarah said happily, "But what about mine? And Liv's? And Beth's? And Ashley and Jessica Lee's?" she asked, leaning against the gate. "Well, I have talked to Jessica Lee and Ashley, and Dumbledore, it seems they have wanted to leave, and so, tomorrow they will.. It is sad of course, but perhaps it is for the better.." Solana said. "Well.. That just leaves us the same as we were." Katz said, picking at some paint on a crate. "Yes, it does.. We need to start thinking about allies here." Sarah said wisely. "How about strengthening our ties with the Dream Team?" Jen suggested. "Or being a little nicer to Draco and Lavender?" Sarah shot back. Katz and Solana sighed. "It's a bit more complex then that... We have Lavender under our control, Draco has no control, over anything." Solana said slowly. "But the Dream Team would be a valuable addition." Katz said, waving her hand for emphasis. "True.. But they are not cut from our fabric. Though, the Twins are.." Sarah said, leaning back against the hut. "Eeew." Katz said in an undertone. "I know. But it can't be helped, between our skills and theirs, the school will by ours." Solana said happily. "But. Dumbledore. What bout him?" Jen asked, leaning against a crate. "He can't stop us.." Solana said calmly. "But. How?" Katz asked. Solana looked at Sarah then back at Katz and Jen. "Promise not to tell anyone." She said slowly. "Promised." Katz and Jen responded. "Right then. We're Muggles." Solana said. Katz and Jen stared. Solana shrugged, "Oh well, you're welcome to leave us, but you have promised not to tell anyone." Sarah said. "How.. How did you get in?" Jen asked, raising her eyebrows. "Simple.. But that is not relevant.." Solana said, standing up. "Right then. No we want to stay." Katz said smiling.
Dumbledores office:
"DUMBLEDORE! I have never seen such students! With barely any skill in transfiguration!" Professor McGonagall said, pacing. Dumbledore stared at the collection of teachers that assembled before him. "Yes, but they excel in Potions." Snape said, leaning against the door frame. Professor Sprout shrugged "They seem to be doing fine with me." Madam Hooch frowned "They can't fly very well right now. Of course, they haven't been up since the first lesson." "They do very poorly in my class." Flitwick said sighing. Dumbledore shook his head. Hagrid cleared his throat "They great n' my class" he said smiling. "So, they happen to be poor at all the things that are the most magical. And excel in the. Lesser Magical things." Dumbledore said simple. Snape frowned. "I teach magical things!" he said angrily. Dumbledore's eyes sparkled. "Well.. Katz Potter and Jen, seem to be fine in all of the subjects." He shuffled through some papers. "True. Perhaps you've let in a bunch of. Squibs?" McGonagall raised her eyebrows. "Yes, that seems reasonable. But then why didn't the hat speak?" Sprout tossed in. Dumbledore stood. "Now now. No need to rise problems with them, they seem like they want to do something with their abilities.. I suggest if you have major problems assign some tutors and help them.." Dumbledore pushed them out.
