Chapter 8
Slytherin Common Room:
Katz, Jen and Solana sat in the common room, the other Slytherins avoided them. Draco was sitting alone in a corner. "Hmm, shouldn't we go somewhere more secure?" Katz whispered to Solana. So then it was agreed to meet in the library. "Ok, here's what I have." Solana rolled out a long stretch of paper. "For what?" Jen asked, staring at it. "Well, I'm tired of our portal being un marked." Solana said, pulling out pencils and markers. "You two figure out what to do, I have to make a phone call." Solana said, pulling out a cell phone. A few minutes later, Beth, Liv and Sarah arrived. "Ok. You three, will need to start working out the Valentine's Day prank, get the outline and what we want accomplished.. Meanwhile Katz and Jen and I are working out. A change in decoration." Solana smiled, and pointed to another empty table.
"Right, I think he should be wearing a purple dress.." Jen suggested. "Yeah! With a pink frilly apron!" Solana giggled. "Oh! And you know those mob caps? That! With pink frilly oven mitts holding a cookie tray!" Katz smiled. "Yeah! And we could have it say "Our darling Voldermort." Jen and Solana giggled. "Aged 35!" Katz smiled. So they set to work, adding little frills, ribbons and buttons, and lace. The purple dress looked like satin, it was pretty, or it would have been if they weren't having Voldermort wearing it. "Hmm, delicate purple slippers, some lipstick and some blush and eye shadow?" Beth said leaning over to have a look. "YEAH!" The 3 Slytherin girls giggled all at once. Beth gave them some makeup, and they used it.. "Ok, we have to make it look like a Wizard photo. Any ways to make it move?" Solana asked. Jen bit her lip. Katz shook her head. Hermione choose this moment to come in the library. The other half of the Steam Team hid their plans under some large books. "What is that?" Hermione asked, as they tried to hide the portrait. "Er, something.. Look can you help us?" Solana asked haltingly. "Sure." Hermione giggled as they un-rolled the paper. "We need you to make it move so it can look like a Photograph." She continued. "What on earth are you going to do with that?" Hermione stared. "Personal enjoyment. Now, can you help us?" Katz said quickly. "Sure can." Hermione took out her wand. "Mobilpicta!" She said waving her wand, and the photo began to wave and smile. The Slytherin girls smiled. "Thanks 'Ermione!" Solana shook her hand. Hermione raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "No problem, I'm going to go now." And she left. "Now, a spell that can't be moved.. Lets look in the directory!" Solana walked over to a shelf. "Where should we look?" Katz asked, walking over. "I dunno." Jen followed them, looking at the books. "Ask the librarian. No wait, don't. There should be a book right around here, at the end of the isle." Katz whispered, walking down the rows. "Right here!" Jen exclaimed, Solana and Jen rushed over to look. Jen flipped open the book to the Index. "Perhaps, it would be under." Jen was looking at the page. "Sticky!" Katz said laughing. "Or stay." Solana suggested.
"What **do** we want to accomplish?" Sarah leaned over the table and looked down at the blank piece of paper. Beth bit her lip in thought. "I'm not sure." Olivia frowned. "I know! Let's just put whatever we think up next and put it down on paper." Beth smiled. "Good idea." So the three bent their heads over their papers and wrote.
Dear Santa: I want Lavender to BE scared. I also want Draco embarrassed. I want Professor M, to be shocked and outraged at Ron. I want Harry to fall head over heals in love with.. Pansy Parkinson. I want Cho to meet a 'new' guy and not know. I want Ron to be upset with mysterious letters in his bag and for him to dress up as Cupid. Love Beth
I want Draco to stay away from us. I don't want Hermione hurt cause she's cool, and I want to have Professor Snape to fall in love with Professor M. I want there to be an upset at lunch and dinner and breakfast. I want big hart decorations and big bugs flying around on the hearts. I want all the owls pink and red and purple. I want the Ravenclaws to hate HufflePuff for some weird reason and I want the whole school drunk on pumpkin juice and them to play truth or dare and be really scared -Sarah
I want mayhem. I want lots of decoration and preparation. I want the house colors switched, new coat of arms, and I want there to be new house names. I want Dumbledore to mysteriously start wearing kaki shorts and Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses. I want there to be a new dress code.
And for there to be music and dancing every Monday night.
Food fighting every Friday.
Teachers day off no school on every Tuesday.
Singing on Sunday
The Sitting Standing Strutting and Scuttling as the only way of transportation on Saturday.
Guys Tutu night every Thursday.
And of course. Wedding Wednesday. -Olivia
And that concluded everything. They passed the letters around giggling all the time. "Hmmm. I think this day of the week thing is pretty Catchy. Wedding Wednesday. Clever!" Sarah said approvingly. "Yeah that was where like they would be a wedding each week, Dumbledore would pull names out of a hat. Both girl and boy, then they would have a 'fake' wedding and have to be like a couple, and care for a child, that is available for adoption if they wanted to." Olivia giggled. "Sounds fun, but what if we have to get married?" Sarah asked, her eyebrows raised. "Dear Santa? That's funny. I like the idea of the secretive writing. Cho and Ron fall in love, without know it was the other person! And maybe there could be a costume assignment, and Ron would **have** to be a Cupid." Olivia hurried the subject along. "Nah. I was thinking in those letters, Cho would love Cupids, and yeah." Beth spoke up. "Mmm. I'm not sure how this Professors in love would work, I mean it is funny, but I'm not sure if it would work. The drunk on Pumpkin Juice and Truth or Dare does sound fun, and could be arranged." Beth looked around the library. "True. Hmmm, we'll work on decorations tomorrow, then the day after we have to have everything in place, otherwise it won't be done in time." Olivia sighed. "I sure hope that's enough time." Sarah frowned. They put the papers on the table, and began to sketch elaborate pictures. Olivia was in charge of the decorations. Sarah was in charge of arranging the drunk pumpkins and truth or dares." And the colored Owls And Beth. Beth was in charge of negotiating the 'Days of the week' idea.
Solana and Katz and Jen had a lot to do on their own. What the other three had just planned was simple. Solana, Katz and Jen were planning ahead, way ahead to October 31. "Yeah, we need to do something to Quirrel. We need to lock him up. Polyjuice. Polyjuice potion, just like in the fourth book how that guy and his mom swapped places." Katz said, while they were collecting the books off the shelf. "Yeah. That would work. But we have to do what Hermione did." Jen said, flipping throw a book. "Yeah. We do don't we. That's. Stupid. I'll get **my** ref book!" Solana raced off. A few minutes later, Solana returned, out of breath and she was carrying 4 books. "Wha?" Jen asked, bringing a stack of books to the table, while Katz was rolling up the smiling and waving picture of Voldermort. "The Harry Potter books." Solana smiled, slapping them on the table. "Er, are those the books that have that spell?" Solana asked, as Katz and Jen were looking through them. "Yes." Katz handed Solana the portrait. "Ok. Well I'll look through these." Solana stashed the portrait and opened the 4th book. "Ya know what. We gotta get us one of them nifflers." Solana whispered. "Yeah, we do." Jen replied. "You know. We can save Cedric. We can make sure that our House still remains the House Cup winner. And Quirrel can get to the mirror. Harry wouldn't be a hero!" Exclaimed Solana. "Er. Right then, I don't think you are going to find much in there, only the theory of it. Try book two where they actually make it." Katz said, flipping through a few pages. "Here! Here it is!" Jen shouted happily. "Ssssh!" the rest of the Steam Team hushed her. "Right then, but here it is. Katz and I will work it, seeing as we are the only ones who can." Jen grinned. "Sure." Beth said, writing something down quickly. "Try chapter 11, page 184." Katz said smiling. "k." Solana flipped through to Chapter 11 page 184. "In the second week of December Professor McGonagall came around as usual, collecting names of those who would be staying at school for Christmas. Harry, Ron, and Hermione signed her list; they had heard that Malfoy was staying, which struck them as very suspicious. The holidays would be the perfect time to use the Polyjuice Potion and try to worm a confession out of him.
Unfortunately, the potion was only half finished. They still needed the bicorn horn and the boomslang skin, and the only place they were going to get them was from Snape's private stores." Solana read out loud. "So, hmm. How would we go about getting that?" Beth asked, the other Steam Team members had stopped to take a break and help the Slytherin Steam Team members. "An injury. And more polyjuice?" Sarah suggested. "What?" Olivia asked, staring. "Well, one of us, Gryffindor and Slytherin only, Cause those two share the same Potions class, also, the more of us in one room is better." Sarah replied, waving her hands for emphasis. "Right! I get it!" Beth pitched in. "It should be Jen or Katz that is injured, stays in the Hospital Wing with the Invisibility Cloak, then they could polyjuice, or transfigure a pillow into themselves, and make it so it looked real, and asleep. Then they use the Invisibility cloak, and slip into Snape's office! Perfect!" Sarah chirped.
So then it was planned. The Polyjuice plan **and** the ST V's prank were both to be put in motion **That** day.
