Chapter 8 The Chapter that Spells Out Revenge

 

Phase 1: Operation Ruin Cate's Life

 

Meagan was now doubly angry with Cate.  First, Cate had almost destroyed her life by almost killing Harry and those she held dear, but now Cate had won the Quidditch Cup.  Meagan pondered for a moment and then remembered that Cate had killed someone she held dear…  Michael.

 

She sighed and flopped down on the bed.  She had been up all night, thinking about all the turmoil Cate had put in her life.  Life had been good with the Marauders with no Cate to ruin her life. 

 

"Still up?" Harry asked, sitting up and looking at Meagan with his sparkling green eyes.  Meagan looked at him.  "Have you been up this whole time?" She asked.  He nodded.  "I was thinking-." He started to say, when Meagan cut in.  "ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO KILL CATE?" She asked in a loud whisper.  "No…" Harry said, shaking his head.  "I was thinking about the match.  I swear, there was something about that match that wasn't normal…"

 

Meagan made a face.  "I would've sent her to Mars if she wasn't Padfoot's daughter…  that's exactly the place she belongs, the way she likes red so much…" She said.  Harry shook his head.  Meagan looked at him for a moment, took on a contented look for a moment, then her expression brightened and she grinned evilly.  Harry looked at her, pretending to be scared.

 

"What is it?" He asked.  Meagan's purple eyes danced.  "Oh…  you'll see in the morning she said.  She got into bed next to him, laid down, grinned triumphantly, and went to sleep.

Cate yawned.  A breeze ruffled her hair so she patted around for the blankets, and felt concrete.  She mumbled and rolled over.  "Bellum…  Give up some blankets, you hog."  She murmured, hitting Bellum in the stomach, making a loud slapping noise.  He grunted and said, "I don't got them…  you do." He said.

 

Cate patted around and felt more concrete.  Wait a minute…  concrete?

 

She sat up and screamed.  She was on top of a very large building.  She could tell it was in London, for the air was sooty.  She looked down and saw she was in nothing but a bra and underwear.  She glanced over at Bellum and saw he had only his underpants on.

 

Bellum, hearing Cate's scream, sat up to.  He saw where he was and screamed.  Cate stumbled to her feet and looked over the edge.  People from the streets looked up to see her.  A few men with binoculars fixed their sight on her.

 

Bellum came up from behind her, looked over the edge, and dragged her back to where no one could see them.  "MEAGAN!" Cate screamed.

"You didn't." Harry said.  "Oh yes I did." Meagan said, watching the screen and grinning.  "And believe me, this is only the beginning of operation Ruin Cate's Life."

 

The two watched the happening on what looked like a big screen TV.  Meagan was laughing quite evilly while Harry watched in horror.

 

"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!" Nita squealed, running into the room.  Meagan made the TV vanish and turned to watch Nita run around the room in circles.  She had apparently eaten too much sugar at the Black's…  and it was still going. 

 

"Mm?" Meagan asked, turning to face her daughter.  "Can I have more sugar?" Nita asked, bouncing up and down.  "I think you've had enough to last a life time…" Meagan said.

 

Nita ran out of the room and then there was a knock on the door.  "GOT IT!" Crystal yelled from the living room, running to get the door.  A few moments later, she screamed.

 

Cate walked in the room, messily dressed, her hair hanging in her face.  "MEAGAN!" She screamed.  "What?" Meagan asked calmly, getting off her seat.  "YOU DID THAT, DIDN'T YOU?" She hollered, blowing a piece of hair out of her face.  "No." Meagan said, "That was Zach."  Cate's eyes glinted gold.  She turned around and stamped out of the house.  "Me one, Cate zip." She said.

 

"You did plan that perfectly, didn't you?" Harry asked.  Meagan only grinned.

 

Phase 2: The Snake

 

Meagan grinned and as she floated through Cate's mansion.  Meagan had sent Cate an invitation from "The Minister."  Now Cate and Bellum were dressing up, preparing to go and "meet" the Minister.

 

Cate put her hair up in a bun.  "You look lovely darling," Bellum said, kissing her on the lips.  "Thank you." Cate said.  She patted her hair and prepared to leave.  They both disappeared and appeared in a dark alleyway.

 

"Can't imagine why he wants to meet us here!" Bellum said.  Cate nodded.  Meagan, who was there also, clicked her fingers.

 

"Well, it must be-!" Bellum stopped and began to make choking noises.  Cate looked at him.  "What?" She asked.  She was soon to find out.

 

She screamed.  She started to run around waving her arms above her head.  She ran around cross-eyed, looking half-crazed, half-scared.

 

A snake was making its way down Cate's forehead.  It wrapped itself around her forehead and she began to scream louder.  "BELLUM, YOU IMBECEL!  DO SOMETHING!!!" She shrieked.

 

Meagan was having a time watching this.  She sat on a trash can, invisible to the naked eye, holding back fits of hysterical laughter as Bellum desperately tried to unravel the snake from his wife's forehead.

 

Meagan appeared back home, satisfied with herself.  Harry took a deep breath, shook his head, and didn't say anything.

 

Phase 3: Kick Me-I'm Evil!

 

"Preparing for phase three!" Meagan said into a walkie-talkie.  "Meagan," Harry said, "I'm right over here." He gestured to himself, who was standing right beside her.  "You take the fun out of everything." She mumbled, disappearing.

 

She was transparent again as she ran down beside Cate.  Meagan grinned and waved her wand.  A sign appeared on Cate's back that said, "Kick me-I used to be extremely evil and still have a tude problem."

 

Someone walking behind her coughed, grinning behind his hand.  Cate glared at him.  The next person actually kicked her, but not very hard.  She turned around and scowled at her.  She walked along, her nose wrinkled and prepared to jump at any slight movement.

 

Meagan threw a rock at a dumpster.  Cate stood still, listening.  Meagan rolled her shoulders back and flexed her legs.  Then, jumping onto one foot, gave one, tremendous kick.

 

Cate howled and turned around.  She saw no one.  "Meagan, I swear, if you're out there, I'm going to get you."  Meagan waved her hand and words appeared in front of Cate.  "As I said, you still have a tude problem." And she disappeared.

 

Phase 4: The Fartenator

 

Meagan grinned evilly.  Harry shuddered.  "Not another one of your little phase things…" He said, groaning.  "Oh, yes it is, my darling.  Another phase!" Meagan shouted, disappearing.

 

Cate was having breakfast with Bellum.  The kids were gone…  They were at Sirius's.  Meagan took Cate's spoon and pushed it off the table.  Cate looked at it and bent down to get it.  Meagan threw a transparent powder on her food.  She laughed and rubbed her hands together.

 

Cate put the spoon back on the table.  She took her fork, put it in her breakfast, and took a bite.

 

There was a sound like a raspberry and Bellum spat out his food.  "WOOF!" He said.  Cate gasped.  "Oh dear lord excuse me!" She shrieked.  Meagan couldn't help but laugh hysterically.  She leaned over and began to cry from laughing so hard

 

Meagan laughed hysterically as she disappeared.

 

(A/N-Meagan: Well, of course, it doesn't just happen once ::evil grin:: I'm getting Cathy back for all the evil things she did to Meagan (my character)…)

 

Phase 4: Blue Dye

 

Cate sighed.  "Bellum, I'm going for a swim, it'll calm my nerves!" She shouted down the hall.  Little did she know, as she got into her bathing suit, that Meagan had already dealt with the pool.

 

Cate did a neat dive into the pool and splashed around for a bit.  Then, suddenly, her eyes began to hurt.  She stumbled out of the pool and groped around for a towel.  She rubbed her eyes out, looked in a mirror, and screamed.

 

Cate was, from head to toe, as blue as the night sky.  She screamed some more, until Bellum came down and started to scream too.  Cate ran, her face buried in the towel, for the bathroom.

 

Phase 5: Green Dye

 

Cate took a shower directly.  She washed her hair thoroughly and tried to get the blue off, but, alas, it was magically done.  She ambled out of the shower miserably, and looked in the mirror again.  Of course, another trip to the mirror wasn't the best thing to do.

 

She screamed again and pawed at her hair.  Her beautiful, dark, nice, lovely, brown hair had been turned green!

 

Phase 6: Red Underwear

 

"C'mon, Cate!" Bellum said, his teeth clenched as he tried desperately to drag Cate outside.  Cate struggled to stay inside, but it didn't seem to be working.

 

Cate gave a small yelp as bright sunlight hit her eyes.  She made a face and hunched her shoulders.  Blue and Green weren't exactly her colors.

 

Bellum held his arm out to her.  Cate put her arm in his and made another face at him.  As you, the reader, can probably guess, the ever-mischievous Meagan had already enchanted the clothes.

 

Bellum had only made Cate take a walk with him so that she would calm down about…  the pool incident.  Of course, his plans were spoiled.

 

The minute someone came into view that person burst into fits of hysterical laughter.  Cate scowled at him, but didn't know that he wasn't laughing at her green hair and blue skin.  He was laughing at the fact Cate was only in her underwear.  I blue and green person wearing red underwear in the middle of the street at noon is not something that happens everyday.

 

Cate, the unknowing victim, walked around the rest of the day like this.

 

Phase 7: Protection

 

Meagan grinned to herself.  Well, this was enough payback for her.  She was now satisfied with herself.  But there was one more thing…

 

She lifted up the protection amulet she had created using magic steel, steel that could only be made with the magical part of a meteorite.  She had formed its shape using the heat of the sun, making it more magical and powerful than the Imperious and Crucious curses, yet just about as strong as the Killing Curse.

 

She opened the glowing amulet's glass container.  The glass was made of grains of sand and debris from the moon's surface.  She placed a lock of Cate's thick, brown, shiny hair inside it, and locked it with magic.  It was a magic spell that allowed no one else but a Potter or a blood relative to touch.  If someone else did, they would be petrified and see their greatest fear.  This spell could not be undone.  She did this by taking a component of the Avada Kedavra curse, of which made the spell irreversible.

 

She put this spell around herself and her family, ensuring safety for all of her family.  Now no one could harm them…  Unless they used the Killing Curse.

"I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!" Felicity shrieked at Crystal.  Crystal looked coolly at Felicity, but her eyes gave her away, as they were red.

 

"Well, you have your mother to blame for my being born." Crystal said.  Felicity spat at Crystal's feet.  "My mother would never." She hissed.

 

"Yes, she would, it's your mother's fault."

 

"How then."

 

"When your mother stormed out on my father."

 

"Tell me how."

 

"My father saw my mother in the common room.  He sat over by her.  My mother told him a story.  My mother started to cry into my father's shoulder.  Then, they kissed and fell in love."

 

"So?"

 

"You're mother made them fall in love."

 

Felicity stood shock still.  She couldn't believe it…  Her mother had put the Potters together?
