~*BRI*~
**When She Was Bri.**
Chapter 5: The Challenge
Brittany sighed slumping down in her seat in Transfiguration. Today wasn't very fun, Dumbledore had restricted the use of hers and Becky's "powers" to "scare the shit out of people" so there'd been no fun in Potions. She finished her work early so instead, Brittany had compiled a list of things that you should never do unless you want to get Snape really peeved off. She grinned and pulled out the long piece of parchment changing the title.
"142 Ways to Piss Snape Off," read a voice behind her. She jumped and turned to find Hermione raising an eyebrow at her. "I never thought a Slytherin would try and piss their favorite teacher off." Brittany grinned.
"Who said he was my favorite teacher?" she said winking and turning back to her list. Hermione stared at her.
"Well, it would only seem proper."
"Believe me, I hate him just as much as you and the Gumdrop Clan over there do." Said Brittany grinning at number 63, Scheme loudly about him in the library. When you know he's behind the nearest shelf. "So tell me, does Potter always participate in the rectal transport of metal poles?" It took Hermione a few moments to realize what she'd just said.
"I don't think I've ever seen one," she said laughing slightly. Brittany grinned, **At least Potter's friends aren't assholes.**
"Well of course not, he hides them well," said Brittany.
"Hides what?" said a boys voice behind them. Hermione jumped and turned to find Harry looking at her.
"Oi," muttered Brittany sighing and grinning.
"Hey Harry," said Hermione.
"What are you talking to HER for?" said Ron. **Alright, scratch that, at least HERMIONE's not a complete asshole.**
"Making acquaintances, Ron," said Hermione her eyes narrowing. "Since you so rudely pulled me away every time I tried to introduce myself." Brittany smiled sweetly, which to Harry meant trouble. He glowered at her.
"Let's go sit over here," he said pulling Hermione away. She sighed exasperatedly and gave Brittany a sorrowful look.
"Hey Potter!" shouted Brittany, not noticing Becky had just entered. "Grip pole tightly and tug!" she said. Hermione snorted and started laughing as Harry glared even harder at her, even though he hadn't the faintest clue what she was talking about. Brittany grinned widely, especially when Becky's hand flew out of nowhere to give her a high five.
"Good one Celeste. You learn quickly," said Becky bowing slightly in Karate style.
"Righto," said Brittany as McGonagall entered the classroom. She started explaining the work they were doing today as Brittany passed the list to Becky. Suddenly Becky snorted with recognition from the morning's Potions class and McGonagall stopped. She looked at the twin girls and then the list in Becky's hand. She tried shoving it away.
"Accio Parchment," said McGonagall catching the list and sitting on her desk. "What do we have here?" she muttered looking at the title. Brittany could swear she saw a small hint of a smile twitch on her mouth. "142 Ways to Piss Snape Off," she read. Titters burst through out the room and the twins shrunk down into their seats. "Number 1, Scatter rose-petals in front of him wherever he goes." More titters. "Number 2, Hug him. Say you were on strict instructions from Dumbledore to do it." McGonagall actually smiled as she read the list to the class. "56, Show up drunk." She gave the girls a scolding look. "57, Giggle constantly. Give no reason. Continue until he kicks you out of the dungeons." Girls in the back shrieked with laughter. Brittany looked at Hermione whose face was red with holding in laughter. Ron and Harry were already laughing hard, hitting the table with their fists. "78, Let him catch you pretending your wand is a light-saber. Ask him if he wants to be Obi-Wan or Han Solo. Offer to show him how to make the correct 'saber-sounds'." The muggle-borns in the room fell off their chairs laughing, except for Hermione, who was still holding in her laughter. Small tears started streaking down her face. "92, Write and choreograph a play about him for the school to perform. 'Severus: The Musical'. 93. Cast yourself in the lead. 94.And all the other roles." Brittany finally sat up in her seat and laughed along with the rest of the class. "130, Owl him (anonymously) random articles from a Muggle publication known as 'The Enquirer' Attach notes to them stating that he should 'study these carefully. They contain clues." Once again the muggle- borns were on the floor laughing and trying to explain what the Enquirer is at the same time. "Number 142, Tell him he's got something on his face, when he clearly doesn't. Urge him to wipe it off. Insist that it is still there." Brittany stood and bowed. The class applauded and wiped the tears of laughter from their eyes. "Ms. Alamaeda sit down." Said McGonagall getting out a hanky, still laughing. The class slowly died down and the professor look at Brittany and Becky. "Well, I assume you find this very funny." The twins looked at each other and nodded. "Then I'll give you an extra assignment." Their smiles dropped and it seemed like the whole class leaned forward. Brittany glanced at Becky. "If you don't want a month's worth detentions for passing notes, you must complete everything on this list." She said. Brittany snorted and ducked her head.
Finally Hermione burst out laughing as the whole class went, "Oooo."
"Do you accept?" Said McGonagall. Becky leaned over to Brittany.
"Detention or annoying Snape?" She muttered.
"Duh." Said Brittany grinning.
"We accept." They said in unison. Various exclamations went through the classroom. "On one condition." Said Brittany.
"NO ONE tells ANY ONE about this. EVERYONE MUST participate if we need them too, and NO ONE looks at us when he asks who's been doing everything." Said Becky. Suddenly a clapping would be heard from the back of the class. Everyone turned to see Albus Dumbledore standing from his chair.
"I believe we have a deal," he said smiling widely. "And. since this is an assignment, no points can be taken, and no detentions." Brittany and Becky gave each other a high five and took the list back from McGonagall. She went to the back of the class, ordering everyone to try and transfigure their quills into Peacock Feathers.
"Albus," she whispered urgently. Dumbledore stopped and turned to her.
"Yes Minerva?" he said.
"Why did you want them to do this in the first place?" she said. Dumbledore looked at the twins, who were giggling silently.
"Because Celeste grew up on the Light Side, and Becky on the Dark. I want to see which sides pull is greater, if Becky could be pulled onto the Light, we could have the most powerful pair of witches to come along since Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw." McGonagall cleared her throat.
"And if Brittany's pulled over?" she said. Dumbledore's face saddened.
"Then Voldemort has the chance to be greater and more powerful then ever before. And the world will surely be in jeopardy," said Dumbledore turning towards the door. "They will decide on their own thought Minerva, we can only sit back and wait to see if they make the right one."
**
Brittany was basically jumping up and down at the door of Snape's room. Becky was carrying the bucket full of rose petals. Brittany was holding her wand tightly. They were set for Numbers 1, 2 and 3. (1) Scatter rose-petals in front of him wherever he goes. (2) Hug him. Say you were on strict instructions from Dumbledore to do it. (3) Learn a charm that makes fabric turn day-glo pink. You know what to do next.
Brittany looked at Becky who was just as excited. "You ready?" she whispered as the door started opening.
"As I'll ever be," said Becky, grabbing a handful of rose petals. Snape took a step out of his room and instantly collided with Brittany hugging him tightly. Becky threw rose petals all over him as well.
"What the-" said Snape yanking Brittany off of him. "Dally! What are you doing?"
"Dumbledore gave me strict orders to give you a hug today, you looked a little grumpy yesterday Cranky-pants," said Brittany giving him a pouty lip and grabbed a handful of rose petals. Snape looked at them.
"What are you doing with those?" He said walking over to them. Becky threw the petals on the ground in front of him. He stopped. "What ARE you doing?" He said.
"Rose petals!" said Becky cocking her head and smiling widely. Snape raised an eyebrow.
"I can see that,." said Snape. "What are you doing with them?"
"Throwing them on the ground!" said Brittany giving him a look that clearly said, Duh!
Snape stared at them, and instead chose to ignore them as they walked in front of him throwing flower petals all over the floor. He growled as they even lead him to the front of the Great Hall, all the students were laughing as the girls, who strongly resembled each other shouted odd little comments. "Watch out, Sir Cranky Pants is coming through!" shouted Brittany.
"Move aside all you filthy vermin, the Superior God is making his way to his table," said Becky. Snape snarled and looked up at Dumbledore who was biting his upper lip. McGonagall was laughing quite openly though. He snarled at the girls as he sat down. They smiled innocently and took they're seats at the Slytherin table. Draco and Tom were waiting.
"I can't believe you actually did that," Tom muttered.
"Just wait," said Brittany sinisterly taking her wand and pointing it at Snape under the table. "Pink Yalloop," she whispered. Suddenly the hall broke out into laughter and Snape stood to leave. Brittany and Becky whirled around to find the charm had work, Snape's robes were bright pink.
Snape looked around the hall confused, which made the students laugh harder. All the teachers were now laughing as openly as McGonagall had been. Snape looked down and his eyes widened. "What the.. " He instantly glared at Harry, who was laughing insanely. "POTTER!" he shouted. Harry stopped laughing but couldn't help his twitching smile.
"Yes Professor?" he said as the hall went silent.
"I know you did this," he hissed.
"Um.. Professor Snape, if you didn't happen to notice you were lead into the hall by two girls throwing rose petals," said Cho Chang. "It could be them and not Harry."
"Ravenclaw Bitch," hissed Becky as Snape's eyes turned to them. Brittany could help, but snort at his horrible expression. The laughter carried to Becky, Tom and Draco and then to Hermione, which got Harry and Ron laughing and soon the whole hall again. Snape glared at them and made his way out of the hall, not before sticking them with a cold glare. Brittany looked around and stood on the table.
"Thank you, thank you. This is only one of the many pranks you'll be seeing played on Snape this year, as we have been assigned the "142 Ways to Piss Snape Off." If you would like a copy of this list, mail us. Thank you." Said Brittany sitting down after bowing. Becky stood and bowed and they were instantly congratulated on their stunning way of carrying out such a deadly task. Fred and George even made their way over to see if they could get a part of the action.
"We may have someone to hand down the twin pranking legacy too." Said Fred smiling widely. Brittany winked at him and gave him a half smile. **This year is going to ROCK!** Thought Brittany. Becky nodded and took out the list in her pocket.
"Tomorrow we Go 'Da-da-dum!' in a deep voice anytime he passes by or enters room. Shout '10 points from Professor Snape!' at random moments. Replace all Slytherin insignia in his quarters with that of Hufflepuff." Said Becky sitting down.
"This is gonna be too much fun. Do you know his password?" said Brittany.
"We do," said Fred and George, taking places at the Slytherin table. The girls stared at them. "Well we know a way in. Thanks to the Marauders," Fred pulled out a piece of parchment.
"It's an updated version of the Marauder's Map," said George.
"And as long as you don't show it to any other Slytherin's.. " said Fred.
"We can let you borrow it. Only.. "
"You have to reveal it first," said Fred.
"You know, to see if you have what this pranking needs," said George. Brittany smiled, rolled her eyes and took the parchment.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," said Brittany tapping the map with her wand. It spread out and Fred and George grinned widely.
"Come and get us some time if you need us," said Fred giving Brittany a look up and down before walking off.
"Just think that's the second person who's checked you out!" said Becky.
"Shut up," said Brittany studying the map. "I LOVE the Marauders," she muttered showing Becky the new secret passages on the map. "We are going to have SO much fun."
