The very next day, the sun was shining brightly again. Harry, Hermione and Ron were walking about the grounds of the school, looking for their target. Harry was carrying an empty bucket. The three children sneaked to the edge of one of the high walls and peeked over into the courtyard. Right below them, Draco was sitting talking to a fellow student. He has a grin on his face and looked like he was describing what he had done to the three of them the day before.
"I bet he's bragging about that prank of his," whispered Hermione as she crouched against the wall.
Harry peeked over the wall again and knelt next to Hermione. "Well, he's not going to be pleased for long. This will fix him," he whispered, holding up the bucket.
"This is going to be so funny," chuckled Ron. "I can't wait to see the look on his face."
Hermione looked at Ron and held up her finger. "Shhh! Well, you're going to get to see it, because you're going to be the decoy. You get to go down there and distract him."
Ron sulked. "Aww! I'm always the decoy! Oh, nuts. Fine, here I go."
Harry and Hermione peeked over the wall and watched as Ron descended to the courtyard and walked up to where Draco and his friend were, directly below them.
Ron slowly approached. "Um, hi, Draco....lovely weather, isn't it?" he stammered.
Draco looked up and his smile disappeared as he glared at Ron. "What do you want Weasley? Back for more are you?" He and his friend laughed, and Ron glanced up to where Harry and Hermione were watching. Slowly Harry took out the bucket. Hermione pointed her wand at it and whispered, "fillupicus liquiditus," and Harry leaned over the wall and dumped a bucketful of water right on Draco's head! The three children laughed as they watched him sputtering water in his now soaking wet clothes. Ron ran towards Harry and Hermione, and all three scurried off giggling as a very wet Draco shook his fist and called after them, "I'll get you good for this one! You just wait!"
