Part 5-
"Stupid Cliffe with his stupid... yeah" Megan grumbled as she paced in front of the four rows of feet that attatched to the stretched out bodies of her friends. They were enjoying a nice, unseasonably warm, October day outside the castle. Louie was reading his book of spells, catching up on homework, Brody had her journal underneath her arm as she sketched a picture of Hogwarts. Joel and Alice were playing Go Fish. All four ignoring Megan's lament on Cliffe.
"I mean, what gave him the right to do that to me!?" She said to no one in particular. "And, er, talk that way about you Bro-Dawg." She hurriedly caught herself and motioned to Brody who nodded at her name.
"You know, you don't have to hide your emotions." Alice said.
"Oh, that's funny, you know what an emotion is..." Megan said and then bit her nail. "Sorry, Alice."
"Eh, I get that a lot." She said dryly.
"We wouldn't have guessed that you felt this way about Radcliffe if you hadn't gone on about it." Joel said and sat up, brushing grass off his sweater. Alice saw Matt in the distance and intertwined her fingers with Joel's. The new feign of a relationship was in attempt to keep Matt at bay. Megan shook her head at Joel's comment and then turned back to pacing.
"We should get him back, for doing all those mean things to us. To everyone!" Megan decided.
"Megan, we beat the living crap out of him three days ago." Louie sat up too and looked at her with reason.
"Yeah, but that was before he kissed me." She said. She began to concoct a plan.
"You know, these ideas you have, they always work best with an even number of people and well, I'll be willing to abdicate from my duties as a member of the 'let's get expelled' squad." Joel offered.
"I'll have nothing of the sort." Megan said and grinned. "Besides, the more the merrier!" She sat down on the ground and the five of them came up with their revenge against Cliffe. It involved a very non-complex plan to go to the Slytherin dungeons and that was where the plot ended.
Megan, Brody and Louie hunched under Megan's Invisibly cloak that she had stolen from Harry that night, armed with their wands, they left the Gryffindor tower quietly and found their way to the Ravenclaw house. Megan stuck a pale shaking hand out from under the cloak and pulled the longest blue book and the bookcase backed away loudly, scraping stone against stone and then leaned to the side allowing the three intruders in. They took the cloak off and came upon two suits of armor who inquired them for the password. Louie told the suits 'Troubadours' and they pulled their staffs away from the entrance and they went into the Ravenclaw common room. Alice sat cross-legged in an armchair across from a fire.
"Come on..." Brody called quietly. Alice lifted a flat hand and mouthed the last words of a book she was reading and then slammed it shut. She got out of the chair and threw the pillow from behind her back to the couch.
The trio, now a quartet, left the Ravenclaw dwellings and stealthily made there way down winding stair cases and into a secret tunnel under the grounds of Hogwarts. When they took off the invisibility cloak Louie pointed silently to a sleeping, stout, frizzy haired Professor Eckelburt- Hufflepuff Head of House. He snorted into the air and turned over on the couch. Brody looked over at Alice who's lips were tight and protruding out of her face. This was the way she looked at interesting situations. Megan pulled out her wand and the others did the same.
'What's going on with Eckleburt?' She wrote in gilded letters in the air with her wand.
'There've been lots of Hufflepuffs sneaking out at night lately, he's supposed to stand guard.' Brody responded in purple letters. The smoke was clearing from Megan's initial statement and she cleared it away with a wave of her hand. Sparkles of gold came down from the letters and onto the invisibility cloak in her hands.
'Alright, Louie, go get Joel.' Alice wrote in the air in sky blue. Brody's purple dust floated around Eckleburt and Louie magicked the color out of the air with a flick of his wand. He nodded and headed to the boys dormitory. There were no windows in the Hufflepuff common room, but it was still welcoming. Built into the ground, warm earth surrounded them that had been hexed to not cave in. Louie came back out the door dragging an uncooperative Joel who stood in his night things rubbing his eyes.
"I told you I wanted no part of this." Joel protested as the crawled under the cloak. Brody kicked his shin and they went back out into the tunnel to Hogwarts. The arduous journey around the castle was guided by the Maurder's Map that Megan had stolen from her father's office without his notice. They stalked down the hallway and stopped at the sound of moaning.
"We're on the wrong floor!" Alice whispered desperately. "Slytherins are in the dungeons." She stated. Moaning Myrtle stood in the door way next to them, gray and sad, with a ghostly tear dripping down her face. Brody felt empathy for the girl, now dead for 76 years. She sighed with sadness and went back to her stall for the solace of familiarity. The group turned down the stairs and back to the bottom level of the school.
After another twenty minuets of searching (which felt like an eternity for poor Joel) they found the Slytherin portrait. He stood there evilly conniving in his sleep. Brody knocked the cloak off them and Megan grabbed it quickly and folded it in her arms. Brody cleared her throat and woke the portrait. He sneered to her and asked the password. She gave it to him willingly ("Imparivosio"), and they went down into the dark dungeons of Slytherin's house.
Megan grinned in the corner of her mouth and turned around, leather couches and chairs, oriental rugs on the floor, deep green velvet curtains and Slytherin banners on the walls. The only graffiti was a Dark Mark scrawled on the wall. Megan turned to Brody who was grinning too. Louie spun her back into reality.
"What now, Meg?" He asked, they all stood in a line in front of the dead fire. Megan looked down at the black and white carpet with panic.
"I...I...I didn't plan that far ahead." She admitted.
"Why?" Alice asked.
"I thought we would have gotten caught by now." She said and turned around to them. Joel grumbled and tightened his housecoat.
"I'm going back to my bed." He said, Brody grabbed his collar and Joel came back to them.
"Ok, ok! I've got it!" Megan proclaimed. "We'll shrink all the furniture." She smirked evilly.
"Fun times for all, but how does that get revenge on Cliffe?" Brody asked and sat down in an armchair with a very stiff back.
"Because he won't be able to prove it was us. We're just inconvieniencing them. Yeah." She sounded like she was convincing herself at the same time.
Brody shrugged and pointed her wand to the chair she was occupying twin and the chair became the size of her shoe. Megan giggled and Brody shot her a look of disgust. Megan smiled and imitated Brody's actions by shrinking the couch. Louie picked it up and threw it at the wall. Alice began to laugh but covered her mouth. Joel shook his head and disagreed vehemently with their actions. While shaking his head, Alice grabbed his wrist that held his wand and pointed it at the chess table and it shrunk right in front of them. Joel fainted and fell to the ground with a thud. They all laughed and continued shrinking things. Megan threw her head back and felt a tug at her hair. She turned around to see the face of Radcliffe Malfoy looking around the room with rage. He stared down to Megan and she felt like cowering in a corner at his glare.
"This was a very, very dumb thing to do." He said and looked over at his brother who was picking up Joel at his armpits to wake him up.
"Oh, Cliffe!" Megan sputtered and pulled away from him. "We're not here!" She said dreamily. "We're just an illusion!" She wiggled her arms up and down and began do hunch over and wave her body. Louie caught on to Megan's plan and did the same. Brody was prancing around and she beckoned for Alice to chime in around the unconcious Joel on the floor.
"I'm sorry, you want me to do that?" Alice asked and kept still.
"Just an illusion." Megan repeated as she past Cliffe.
"Oh and I suppose my urge to pee is just an illusion too?" He asked sarcastically. Megan stopped, knew she was caught and smiled grimly.
"Yes..."
{UH-OH! Mondo trouble for Megan! GASP! What shall become of her! Hah! You'll have to read the next chapter to find out. RRR! Mucho El Love-O!}
