A/N: Anna: My turn!!!
Ariana: What could you possibly do to get back at us? You know I don't get embarrassed! You have nothing! Mwa haha!
Anna: Hmm, good question. Harry and Becca are still prone to humiliation, though. . . *thinks back to the 2nd book with the valentine to Harry Potter*
Ariana: I love pranks, but it's so hard to think of good ones these days. . .
Anna: ARGH! BOGGART!!!

Chapter 4 -
Harry was still laughing as he followed Professor Lupin into the staffroom. He had never seen anyone scare Peeves off like that. The way he screamed when Lupin cursed the gum up his nose was priceless. The rest of the DADA class crowded into the room after him.
Professor Snape was sitting in a low armchair, and he looked around as the class filed in. His eyes were glittering and there was a nasty sneer playing around his mouth. As Professor Lupin came in and made to close the door behind him, Snape said, "Leave it open, Lupin, I'd rather not witness this." Snape stalked out of the room. Anna glared daggers at him as he passed. Harry looked at her with an odd look on his face. She glared daggers at him as well. Lupin's gaze swept over the class. As it passed Anna, she glared daggers at him. A bird perched on the windowsill looked at Anna curiously. She glared daggers at it.
Lupin brought the class to an old wardrobe at the end of the room, explaining the basics of boggarts. After several questions and answers, he taught them the boggart-repelling charm. "We will practice this charm without wands first. After me, please. . . riddikulus!" The class repeated after him. He explained how the charm worked and had the class think of how they could make their greatest fears funny.
"Very good. All right, Anna, you go first. When I open the door of the wardrobe, you step up and practice the spell. I will call up students one at a time to step up. Ready? One - two - three -- now!" He pointed his wand at the wardrobe. Sparks shot out and the door burst open.
Ron stepped out of the wardrobe. "Huh???" the real Ron exclaimed from the back of the class. The boggart Ron stepped up to Anna.
"Anna! I love you!" Anna covered her face with her hands. "Marry meeee!" Anna dropped her hands and her eyes widened, then narrowed angrily. Ron ran towards Anna and planted a kiss on her lips. Anna screamed loudly. Hermione glowered and stepped closer to the real Ron.
"Aaah! Riddikulus! Riddikulus! Riddikulus!" She pried Ron's lips off her and he stumbled back. With a cracking sound, he turned into a giant spider.
"Aaah!" The real Ron in the back of the classroom screamed in terror. The spider clicked it's pincers and took a step forward. Anna smirked.
"Neville! Your turn!" Lupin called out. Neville jumped in front of the boggart and it quickly turned into none other than Professor Snape.
Anna moved to the back of the class, which, unfortunately happened to be near Ron. Ron raised his eyebrows suggestively at Anna. She shuddered and took a step away from him. Hermione growled at Ron and stomped on his foot.

It was Halloween morning and all students third year and above were looking forward to the Hogsmeade trip. Well, almost all students.
"It's so unfair! I can't believe I have to stay here! I must be the only third year not going!" Harry complained in the common room. He was sitting on a couch away from the fire and Becca was listening to him sympathetically.
"Well, Harry, at least I'll be here with you. I'm only a second year and I can't go anyway, but I'd probably stay anyway."
"Really?" Harry questioned. "Why would you do that?"
"For you. I mean, it wouldn't really be that much fun without you. . . and I might as well just not go. I'd rather stay here with you than go off to Hogsmeade anyway. It's just not the same if you're not there. . ."
"Besides going to Hogsmeade, I can't think of any other way I'd rather spend my time. Actually, you're more fun than Hogsmeade could ever be."
"Aw, Harry, that's so sweet."
"Well, I, er. . ." his words were cut off when Becca practically jumped into his lap.
"You talk to much. . ." they both leaned in closer, closer, clo-
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron's voice made Becca and Harry both jump. Becca fell off the couch and landed on the floor with a thud. Ron didn't seem to notice. "I just heard about the sweet shop in Hogsmeade! Did you know Honeydukes has levitating sherbert balls that-"
"Um, Ron?" Hermione interrupted him and pulled him out of Harry's face. "I don't think Harry wants to hear about everything he's going to miss. Let's just bring him back all we can."
"Ok," Ron replied reluctantly. "Well, can I at least tell you all the stuff I heard about Hogsmeade?"
"Um, suuure. . ."
"Great! See ya, Harry! We'll bring you back a ton of great stuff. Bye, Becca. Hey, what are you doing on the floor?"
"Oh, it's very comfortable down here! I just love sitting on the floor!" Becca replied sarcastically. Harry grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the couch. Ron waved, then put his arm around Hermione and started rambling about candy. Hermione went slightly pink, but looked very happy and started walking with him.
~*~*~
"Oooh, how about these? Becca would love this!" Ariana stood at a sales rack with George pointing out just about every item there. George was grinning as he saw the giant bag of dungbombs she was pointing to.
"Forget Becca, I want this! It's perfect! Look at all the dungbombs. . ." George took a deep whiff of the contents of the bag. [Ariana: Ewww! Those are DUNGbombs! They can't smell very good!] "Mmm, prank-y goodness. Where should we set them off first?"
Ariana laughed and grabbed the bag. "I guess I'll have to get this then. I can share with you and Becca." They grabbed a few other items, then went up to the counter to pay for their selections. The line was much longer than they thought it would be. They turned around and started walking to the end of the line. They didn't see the person in front of them until it was too late.
"OOF!" The three students collided and fell to the ground (which was not a good idea because the shop was very crowded and they were likely to get stepped on). Ariana snatched the bag of dungbombs in midair before it hit the ground. Anna scrambled to her feet, narrowly avoiding the feet of a group of sixth years. Ariana tried to do the same, but her legs were tangled in her robes and she couldn't move.
She looked up and saw a rather large trolley, probably carrying supplies to take to the cellar. It was heading straight in her direction. She desperately tried to untangle herself, but to no avail. The cart was almost upon her, she was going to be crushed.
A figure swooshed across the path of the trolley and pushed Ariana out of it's way. They rolled a couple of times and came to a stop when they hit a wall.
"Owww. . ." Whoever was on top of Ariana was hurt.
"Hello, George" she looked at him sympathetically as he rubbed his elbow where it had been smashed into the floor. "Are you alright?"
"Nothing Madam Pomfrey can't fix in a couple of seconds. Are you okay? You almost became roadkill!"
"Yeah, thanks to you. Thank you so much!" She hugged him. "Um, I'm alright now."
"So I've heard."
"Good, then you can maybe get off me now?"
"Oh! Sorry!" Slightly embarrassed, he quickly got up and helped her to her feet. Anna showed up just then.
"Ariana! I saw what happened! Are you okay?"
"Yes, Anna, I'm okay, thanks to George." George looked very proud of himself. "Oh shit. . . we have to leave. Now!"
"What's wrong?" Ariana pointed to the cart. A few feet in front of it was the giant bag of dungbombs she had dropped. The cart showed no signs of stopping. "Oh." Anna nodded and backed slowly towards the door.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" Ariana grabbed each of her friends by the arm and started running towards the door. They were a few feet away from it when the cart hit the bag of dungbombs and every single one of them went off.
A few screams could be heard from inside as they sprinted out the doors. They watched the chaos through the front window. Every person in Zonko's was crowded around the door, holding their noses. The impenetrable crowd at the door made it impossible for people to leave quickly.
Anna hid her purchase in the folds of her robes before Ariana and George caught sight of it. She was looking forward to the prank she was planning. The Halloween feast would be the perfect opportunity for her prank. They would get what was coming to them.
~*~*~*~*~
Ariana: Becca, you almost got in some fluff! I know it was a bit ooc, the forwardness and everything, but it was interesting! I know the "rescue" scene was a bit cheesy, but I just saw "The Wedding Planner" and it gave me ideas!
Anna: I don't even want to know . . . umm . . .
Ariana: Well, Anna, you still haven't thought of a prank yet. HAH! However, the knowledge that it will be going on during the Halloween feast does make it a bit easier to plan.
Anna: Yes . . . something black-and-orange . . . my brain isn't working today, I can't think of what to say. In fact, it is October right now.
Ariana: Riiight. . . well, you're right about one thing anyway. Your brain isn't working today. Hey, know what one of my favorite parts was? I just loved it when the boggart turned into Ron! That was funny! Lol, you deserved that.
Anna: That was not funny!!!!!
Ariana: Aw, sure it was! Hey, readers, please review! We hardly have any reviews! If you have any nice prank ideas, that would be good too. And anything you would like to see, any improvements you think we could make, go ahead and write them in. Thank you!
Ariana: What could you possibly do to get back at us? You know I don't get embarrassed! You have nothing! Mwa haha!
