A.N. I'm Back! And I have Sugar!! (Snape: FLEE FOR YOUR SANITY! Me:
MWAHAAHHAA!) Okay, I got zero reviews for chapter ten. If this continues I
will assume that no one likes it and everyone has stopped reading and
therefore I should stop writing and start selling tulips for a living! All
right maybe not that far but you know what I mean. Okay If anyone is
reading this: would you like: a.) More Sophia Goldstone, b.) More Astra
Sinistra, c.) More incredibly silly scenes, or d.) All of the above. Also
e.) Other. If other please explain.
The Prank Week
I don't know who suggested it but if I find out I'll take a broomstick, fly two miles straight up and drop them on one of the castle turrets! How could Dumbledore have agreed to such a thing? It was a preposterous idea! It was… I don't know what it was but it was bad!
I'm getting ahead of myself. What happened was someone suggested a teacher- student prank war. It was to last a week. I said that this was a bad idea but no, Dumbledore had to approve it! It was teachers against students. No taking points and no holds barred. Only a few places were off limits; the common rooms, the staff room, and our personal rooms. The rest of the castle was fair game. I wanted classes to be out of bounds as well but Dumbledore said that wouldn't be any fun. Fun! I'll show him fun! This week has been misery! The only thing fun about it is that it's finally over!
The first thing to go wrong was Goldstone, getting into the spirit of things, and obviously getting some extra help in charms, charmed my robe to change colors. And it wasn't just solids either. It was some of the ugliest patterns. I couldn't keep their attention for longer than forty-five seconds. Fortunately the charm only lasted one day. Actually I was kind of proud of her for learning how to do that. However I still had to repay a prank for a prank. However, I didn't want something that could go to wrong. I had seen how easily she could burst into tears. She has enough trouble getting friends as it is. Waiting until her back was turned I charmed her ingredients to keep moving away from her. It took her about a minute to realize what was wrong, she hadn't been looking, and another five minutes to figure out a way to catch it. She basically saw where the ingredient was and formed her hands in a circle and surrounded it so it couldn't get away.
While Malvont was laughing at her, I slipped a Filabuster firework under his chair. In about a minute he got the surprise of his life. Goldstone saw me do it, but actually distracted him so he wouldn't see me.
Not too many other first years thought of much. Though I particularly liked the Ravenclaw who figured out how to make my ink transfigure into toads as I wrote. That was fairly complicated. Many second years were in the same plight. It was the third years and on I had to look out for. These students could get to Hogsmeade and visit Zonko's and the Wealsly twin's store. Those two may not have been good academically but they certainly were creative as far as pranks got on. Seventh years were particularly vindictive. I had to avoid everything under the sun. I heard poor Flitwick got it worst. Seventeen trick wands; thirteen prank charms; five transfiguratations; and twenty-seven miscellaneous pranks. McGonagall got the least. I think the students were afraid to face her. A few even got played on Dumbledore; Now, I now that he can tolerate a joke well, but I am surprised at their daring.
At the end of the week, Dumbledore wanted to announce the students from each year and the teacher who He nominated best pranksters. The qualifications were, that the pranks had to be original, harmless, and able to be reversed eventually. I still can't believe that he decided to do this. He nominates the winners from the first year first. Strangely, enough there was a tie between Goldstone and Malvont. I didn't think she had it in her. I am barely paying attention. Seventh year winners was also a tie. This time between Potter and Wealsly. That doesn't surprise me in the least. I'll bet they had help. Then he announces the teachers. Another tie…?!
"The winners of the teachers are Astra Sinistra and Severus Snape!"
I start choking on my Pumpkin juice. How did this happen? Yes, I played pranks but I didn't think they were that good! Wait, Sinistra won too. I wouldn't have thought of her as a prankster. The rest of the school looks about as surprised as I did. You know, maybe this wasn't such a bad week after all…
