A/N: And no, the rest of the characters aren't mine. They are JKRowling's.
So don't sue me. And I'm not making any money off of this, so don't worry!
Chapter 9
"I figured, we better split up the Steam Team into two groups, so each can be made more even." Solana announced, as the Steam Team walked outside. "Sounds fine to me." Beth said, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "Right then. Beth, Katz, and I, the Steam Team still." Beth and Katz walked over to Solana. "Olivia, Jen and Sarah, you will have the nickname Scream Team, you'll cause the most screaming right now." Solana gave them a wink.
The next Day:
"We should try to get, Hermione's help for the potion." Katz said, as they walked the grounds around the Lake before breakfast. "That wouldn't be wise." Beth objected, leaning on a tree. "NO! It would be perfectly wise!" Katz said, sitting down. "Beth, is right. Hermione is too good right now. She doesn't have the inspiration. She'd probably rat on us, seeing as she's gotten too close already." Solana said calmly, bending slightly, her hands on her knees. "You three, where are you companions?" Draco drawled, stepping out from behind a tree, wand in hand. "Oh no, I do believe he wants to perform the Veritas curse on us." Solana snapped. Draco made a confused face. "How do you know about that?" he asked, staring. "The real question is. How do **You** know about it?" said Katz, arms crossed. "I know some.things." Said Draco, he had excellent skills in timing his words. "I'm sure that's all you know Draco. If it isn't I wouldn't like to be you." Katz stepped forward. Solana and Beth grinned, and stepped back. "Now, tell me, all that you heard. Or I'll have to do. something." Katz leaned closer to him. "I won't tell you." Draco glared. The last thing he saw was Katz' fist.
Draco's eyes opened, 3 faces peered back at him. "What happened?" he asked quietly, then sat straight up. Solana and Katz pushed him back down. "You. Didn't tell us what we wanted." Solana smiled. Draco rubbed his head. "Well, tell me where I am at least." He murmured. "In the hospital wing. Katz has a good aim ya know." Beth laughed softly.
Meanwhile: Olivia threw a pencil across the room, and it hit Cho Chang in the head. "OW!" Cho rubbed her head, and turned to see who threw the pencil, but Olivia had gone under the table. "Don't worry Cho. I think I'd like to. Cho would you go to the Valentines day dance with me?" A males voice asked. "Well, I don't know, I. I don't want you to think I don't have options. Cause I do. I, I'm honestly considering not wanting to go. These things take time, and there are only 2 days left." Cho answered, Olivia pulled a paper off the table and started drawing. She would have to hurry to have all the decorations done by tomorrow. As the night grew on, the stack of decorations under the table grew, and the level of annoyance Olivia was feeling while Cho and this mystery guy snogged was at an all time high. At last her patience snapped. She crawled out from under the table, a freezing cold water bottle in hand, and stalked over to the couch, and poured it all over them. They immediately rolled off and hit the ground. "EEEEEEEEEAAKK!!! OWW!!" Cho yelled, zipping her cloak. The guy kinda just sat up and looked around, dazed. "You two should go to the Astronomy Tower at least!" Yelled Olivia. "It's you! You're the one who. OH!" Cho stood up, and wiped wet hair out of her face and stalked out of the room. "Hey cutie" the guy stared at her. Olivia glared, and threw the water bottle at his head.
Sarah was going to have little difficulty if all went well. She went to the secret passage way and tickled the Pear. The door swung open, and she went inside. The House Elves ran to greet her. "Hello! Need anything?" one extremely cute house Elf asked, swaying on its feet. "Sure! I need this nights dinner, to only serve pumpkin juice. No... Butter beer..." Sarah smiled. "Is that all?" the house elf asked, blinking its big eyes. "No, I need you to serve Butter Beer for two days straight, and add to the potency." Sarah nodded. "Is **that** all?" The House Elf asked again. "Oh, and some coffee cake maybe?" Sarah asked hopeful. "Sure!" and they scuttled off. Sarah would only need the students and teachers extremely drunk, to get them to play truth or dare, her job was done.
"Dumbledore Sir. I wanted to do something special for Valentines Day. You know something. Nice for a change. Music. Dancing." Beth sat down on a chair. Dumbledore took a deep breath. "You know your reputation isn't exactly. Clean." Dumbledore said, frowning. "Yes, Sir. But I intend to just put up decorations and hook up some music!" Beth smiled, pleadingly. "Fine. I don't suppose there could be a lot of harm in a. Dance?" Beth nodded. "Well, you have my permission, if you keep it in the Great Hall." He waved her off. Beth took off towards the Great Hall. Unfortunately it was lunch time, and she wouldn't have as much time. Olivia was standing by the door, holding a large bag. "Everybody out!" they both yelled on the count of three. Nobody moved, only stared. Olivia rolled her eyes. "GET OUT NOW OR I WILL DO SOMETHING MEAN TO YOU ALL!!!" She yelled raising her fists. The students from all the houses started running. Once the Great Hall was empty, the two girls set to work. Jen came in a bit later, and offered to help with the levitating to the higher places in the room. The other two girls gladly accepted.
Meanwhile, Sarah, began to drag three buckets of dye up the stairs to the Owlery. When she got up there, she put them down, her back ached! The owls stared at her in interest. She smiled cruelly. She went over to the White Snow Owl, who hopped onto her arm. "Hedwig." She led her over to the buckets, at this moment Hedwig went crazy, squawking and trying to nip her. "YOU STUPID OWL! GET IN THE BUCKET!" Sarah cried, at last, shoving the Owl into the water, only for a second, but it worked, Hedwig flew out bright pink. She sighed, and went to the next owl. By the end of the day. Every owl was either red, pink or purple. And her clothes were spattered with the color. With much thought, she had brought extra clothes. She changed into them in the Bathroom (down the stairs!) and then, destroyed her other clothes, dumped the remaining dye (there wasn't much) out the window. And eventually put the buckets back into the kitchens.
Katz and Jen were working on their plans to work out the bugs.
The Very Next Flying Lesson
"Alright students I expect more flying less disruption!" Hooch called, hovering a little above them. "Now, do what we were doing last week. Hold you hand over the broom and say "Up" At this time the broom should rise, then mount the broom, and kick off, hover and then land. Do that 5 times then we shall try something new." Katz watched nervously. She was the one to get 'injured' and if she didn't do it right, she really would get injured. Jen was to help this along. Katz stepped to her broom, eager to have this over with. "UP!" she yelled, the broom flew up to her hand, she mounted and kicked off. She soared into the air, the wind un-did her loose braid. "AAAAAAAAAACCKKK!!!" She screamed, trying to brush the hair out of her face, and yet hold onto the broom. She sped out of their view and lowered to the ground, and jumped off, landing, and arranging her self to look sprawled. "AAAAAA-" she cut herself off.
Solana heard her cue, breaking everyone out of a trance. "I'll get her!" And 'Up' she went. She flew, with much skill around out of view, took her time, and managed to make it look like she was dragging Katz back. "I'm afraid, she's injured!" she cried. Hooch glared. "I'll be the judge of that!" she went over and began to examine Katz. She walked over, faking concern, and went to cry on Draco's shoulder. Draco, stared at her, but stood still, he still had some peanut butter in his hair. "Draco. You missed some peanut butter. and you **still** have gum in your hair." She whispered. Draco sighed, and shoved her off. "Yeah, thanks to you. Tell me how it works!" Draco said loudly, a few students glanced at them, then back at Katz, who was being 'stretcherd' away. "You just put it on, then let it sit for a while. But it will be hard to get all the oil out. If anything it will just get your hair softer." Solana shrugged, and walked over to Jen, who was pretending to be upset. Draco frowned.
Beth, Jen and Sarah went back to working in the great hall. That Dinner, everything looked. Girly. Hearts off all shapes and sizes hung everywhere, and the table cloths were bright. Bright blue.. Bright red. Bright green. Bright yellow. Sarah and Jen and Beth were upset that the special table they had was taken away a while ago. Eventually they sat down to their regular chairs. Solana and Olivia collected the rest of the ingredients to the Polyjuice potion. That night, Solana slipped Jen the cloak, who moments later said, she was tired, and left the Great Hall. Draco walked in past her, and sat down heavily across the table from Solana. She noted his hair was bubble gum and peanut butter free, but it looked oily. "Solana. How do I get the oil out?" He asked urgently. She smirked. "Awww. Draco. You're asking **me** help for **your** hair?" she asked pleasantly. Draco glared. "Only because you got me in this problem first! Now, tell me!" He hissed. "Tonight, under that tree, by the lake, bring your stuff in your bathroom, and Ill help you." Solana got up, and left the Great Hall, stopped in the Slytherin Dorms, to get some paper and a pencil from her stuff, then went out to the Tree to write.
The evening came and went. It was that 'night' and Draco was in the bathroom, gathering up his stuff. "Hey Drac.. What are ya doin'?" Goyle asked, scratching his head, staring at Draco. "Nothing." He murmered. "Why are you leaving Hogwarts?" he asked, screwing his face up. Draco stopped, and looked at him. "What?" Goyle shrugged. "I thought you were leaving."
"Why would I leave?"
"Well you're taking your stuff."
"This isn't all my stuff Goyle."
"Yeah, but it's most of your stuff. So." Goyle was silenced by a glare from Draco.
"It is not most of my stuff. It is some. And I am not leaving." Draco shoved the last bottle into the bag and left the bathroom.
Solana was humming to "Freak Show" by Stretch Princess on her head phones. She was trying to finish up a bit of her fics she had brought with her, so she didn't notice that Draco had come up behind her, and was watching. "When I feel like a reject from the Freak Show kicking up white trash from the sidewalk, listenin' to the sad songs on the radio, I wanna go home.. Gimme back my car keys and stereo.." She dropped off, sensing some one was there, and she turned around. Draco was grinning. "Oh, it's you." She turned off her cd player. "Yeah. It's me." He sat down, and held open the bag and began to take out the items. Solana was starting to grin. "You have more hair care products then anyone I have ever known." she giggled. Draco rolled his eyes. It took a half an hour to get everything set up, and looked over. "Hmmm. You could try these three, mixed up, and that should take the oil out." Solana handed him three bottles. Draco bit his lip. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive." "Thanks." "No problem. Now, please leave." Solana went back to pick up her writing, but Draco had already picked it up. "Ugh, give that back, and go!" Solana grabbed it back. "What is it? Homework?" He sneered. "No Draco. Its not homework. Its stories, and I don't think you'd enjoy them." Solana stood and yawned. "Bye bye." She waved him, and he left. "Ugh, he ruined that." Solana put the James Bond sound track to the World Is Not Enough, and started singing.
"I know how to hurt
I know how to kill
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much
Chorus:
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love
People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
Chorus
I...I feel sick
I...I feel scared
I...I feel ready
And heaven prepare
Chorus
The world is not enough
The world is not enough "
Anyone listening would have been scared. It wasn't her singing. It was just the words!
